1 S ucedeu depois destas coisas que, tendo Nabote, o jizreelita, uma vinha em Jizrreel, junto ao palácio de Acabe, rei de Samária,

Now Naboth the Jezreelite had a field of grape-vines in Jezreel beside the family of Ahab king of Samaria.

2 f alou este a Nabote, dizendo: Dá-me a tua vinha, para que me sirva de horta, porque está vizinha, ao pé da minha casa; e te darei por ela outra vinha melhor; ou, se desejares, dar-te-ei o seu valor em dinheiro.

Ahab said to Naboth, “Give me your grape-field. I want it for a vegetable garden because it is near my house. I will give you a better field for it. Or I will pay for it with money, if you like.”

3 R espondeu, porém, Nabote a Acabe: Guarde-me o Senhor de que eu te dê a herança de meus pais.

But Naboth said to Ahab, “May the Lord keep me from giving you what I have received from my fathers.”

4 E ntão Acabe veio para sua casa, desgostoso e indignado, por causa da palavra que Nabote, o jizreelita, lhe falara; pois este lhe dissera: Não te darei a herança de meus pais. Tendo-se deitado na sua cama, virou a rosto, e não quis comer.

Ahab went into his house sad and angry because of Naboth the Jezreelite saying to him, “I will not give you what I have received from my fathers.” And Ahab lay down on his bed and turned his face away and would not eat.

5 M as, vindo a ele Jezabel, sua mulher, lhe disse: Por que está o teu espírito tão desgostoso que não queres comer?

His wife Jezebel came to him and said, “Why is your spirit so troubled that you are not eating food?”

6 E le lhe respondeu: Porque falei a Nabote, o jizreelita, e lhe disse: Dá-me a tua vinha por dinheiro; ou, se te apraz, te darei outra vinha em seu lugar. Ele, porém, disse: Não te darei a minha vinha.

He said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite. I said to him, ‘Give me your grape-field for money. Or I will give you another field for it, if you like.’ But he said, ‘I will not give you my grape-field.’”

7 A o que Jezabel, sua mulher, lhe disse: Governas tu agora no reino de Israel? Levanta-te, come, e alegre-se o teu coração; eu te darei a vinha de Nabote, o jizreelita.

Jezebel his wife said to him, “Do you now rule over Israel? Get up, eat food, and let your heart be filled with joy. I will give you the grape-field of Naboth the Jezreelite.”

8 E ntão escreveu cartas em nome de Acabe e, selando-as com o sinete dele, mandou-as aos anciãos e aos nobres que habitavam com Nabote na sua cidade.

So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name and put the mark of his name on them. She sent letters to the leaders and the king’s sons who were living with Naboth in his city.

9 A ssim escreveu nas cartas: Apregoai um jejum, e ponde Nabote diante do povo.

She wrote in the letters, saying, “Tell the people that it is a time when they should not eat. And put Naboth in front of the people.

10 E ponde defronte dele dois homens, filhos de Belial, que testemunhem contra ele, dizendo: Blasfemaste contra Deus e contra o rei. Depois conduzi-o para fora, e apedrejai-o até que morra.

Seat two men of no worth beside him. And have them speak against him, saying, ‘You spoke against God and the king.’ Then take him out and kill him with stones.”

11 P elo que os homens da cidade dele, isto é, os anciãos e os nobres que habitavam na sua cidade, fizeram como Jezabel lhes ordenara, conforme estava escrito nas cartas que ela lhes mandara.

So the leaders and king’s sons who lived in Naboth’s city did just as Jezebel had written to them in the letters she had sent.

12 A pregoaram um jejum, e puseram Nabote diante do povo.

They told the people that it was a time when they should not eat. And they put Naboth in front of the people.

13 T ambém vieram dois homens, filhos de Belial, e sentaram-se defronte dele; e estes filhos de Belial testemunharam contra Nabote perante o povo, dizendo: Nabote blasfemou contra Deus e contra o rei. Então o conduziram para fora da cidade e o apedrejaram, de sorte que morreu.

Then the two men of no worth came in and sat beside him. These men spoke against Naboth in front of the people, saying, “Naboth spoke against God and the king.” So they took him outside the city and killed him with stones.

14 D epois mandaram dizer a Jezabel: Nabote foi apedrejado e morreu.

Then they sent news to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been killed with stones. He is dead.”

15 O ra, ouvindo Jezabel que Nabote fora apedrejado e morrera, disse a Acabe: Levanta-te e toma posse da vinha de Nabote, e jizreelita, a qual ele recusou dar-te por dinheiro; porque Nabote já não vive, mas é morto.

When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been killed with stones, she said to Ahab, “Get up and take the grape-field of Naboth the Jezreelite for your own, the field he would not sell to you. For Naboth is not alive, but dead.”

16 Q uando Acabe ouviu que Nabote já era morto, levantou-se para descer ã vinha de Nabote, o jizreelita, a fim de tomar posse dela.

When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he got up to go down and take for his own the grape-field of Naboth the Jezreelite.

17 E ntão veio a palavra do Senhor a Elias, o tisbita, dizendo:

Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

18 L evanta-te, desce para encontrar-te com Acabe, rei de Israel, que está em Samária. Eis que está na vinha de Nabote, aonde desceu a fim de tomar posse dela.

“Get ready and go down to Samaria to meet Ahab king of Israel. He is in Naboth’s grape-field. He has gone down to take it for his own.

19 E falar-lhe-ás, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor: Porventura não mataste e tomaste a herança? Falar-lhe-ás mais, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor: No lugar em que os cães lamberam o sangue de Nabote, lamberão também o teu próprio sangue.

And you will speak to him, saying, ‘This is what the Lord says, “Have you killed and also taken away?” And you will speak to him, saying, “This is what the Lord says, ‘The dogs will drink up your blood in the place where the dogs drank up the blood of Naboth.’”’”

20 A o que disse Acabe a Elias: Já me achaste, ó inimigo meu? Respondeu ele: Achei-te; porque te vendeste para fazeres o que é mau aos olhos do Senhor.

Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, O you who hate me?” Elijah answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do what is sinful in the eyes of the Lord.

21 E is que trarei o mal sobre ti; lançarei fora a tua posteridade, e arrancarei de Acabe todo homem, escravo ou livre, em Israel;

See, I will bring trouble upon you. I will destroy you. I will kill every male of Ahab in Israel, both those who are servants and those who are free.

22 e farei a tua casa como a casa de Jeroboão, filho de Nebate, e como a casa de Baasa, filho de Aías, por causa da provocação com que me provocaste ã ira, fazendo Israel pecar.

I will make your house like the family of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the family of Baasha the son of Ahijah. Because you have made Me angry, and have made Israel sin.

23 T ambém acerca de Jezabel falou o Senhor, dizendo: Os cães comerão Jezabel junto ao antemuro de Jizreel.

And the Lord has spoken about Jezebel, saying, ‘The dogs will eat Jezebel in the land of Jezreel.’

24 Q uem morrer a Acabe na cidade, os cães o comerão; e o que lhe morrer no campo, as aves do céu o comerão.

The dogs will eat anyone belonging to Ahab who dies in the city. The birds of the air will eat anyone belonging to Ahab who dies in the field.”

25 ( Não houve, porém, ninguém como Acabe, que se vendeu para fazer o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor, sendo instigado por Jezabel, sua mulher.

There was no one who sold himself to do what is sinful in the eyes of the Lord like Ahab did. His wife Jezebel moved him to do it.

26 E fez grandes abominações, seguindo os ídolos, conforme tudo o que fizeram os amorreus, os quais o Senhor lançou fora da sua possessão, de diante dos filhos de Israel.)

He did what was hated by following false gods. He did all that the Amorites had done, whom the Lord drove out in front of the people of Israel.

27 S ucedeu, pois, que Acabe, ouvindo estas palavras, rasgou as suas vestes, cobriu de saco a sua carne, e jejuou; e jazia em saco, e andava humildemente.

When Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes and dressed in cloth made from hair, and would not eat. He lay dressed in cloth made from hair, and went about very sad.

28 E ntão veio a palavra do Senhor a Elias, o tisbita, dizendo:

Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

29 N ão viste que Acabe se humilha perante mim? Por isso, porquanto se humilha perante mim, não trarei o mal enquanto ele viver, mas nos dias de seu filho trarei o mal sobre a sua casa.

“Do you see how Ahab has got rid of his pride before Me? Because he has gotten rid of his pride, I will not bring trouble to him while he is alive. But I will bring trouble upon his house in his son’s days.”
