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

¹It happened after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

²falou 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.

²Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near to my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.”

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

³Naboth said to Ahab, “May Yahweh forbid me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!”

⁴Então 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.

⁴Ahab came into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He laid himself down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.

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

⁵But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, “Why is your spirit so sad, that you eat no bread?”

⁶Ele 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.

⁶He said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ He answered, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’”

⁷Ao 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.

⁷Jezebel his wife said to him, “Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”

⁸Então 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.

⁸So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, who lived with Naboth.

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

⁹She wrote in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

¹⁰E 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.

¹⁰Set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, ‘You cursed God and the king!’ Then carry him out, and stone him to death.”

¹¹Pelo 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.

¹¹The men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.

¹²Apregoaram um jejum, e puseram Nabote diante do povo.

¹²They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

¹³Também 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.

¹³The two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him. The base fellows testified against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king!” Then they carried him out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones.

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

¹⁴Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned, and is dead.”

¹⁵Ora, 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.

¹⁵It happened, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.”

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

¹⁶It happened, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.

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

¹⁷The word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

¹⁸Levanta-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.

¹⁸“Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.

¹⁹E 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.

¹⁹You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Have you killed and also taken possession?”’ You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will lick your blood, even yours.”’”

²⁰Ao 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.

²⁰Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” He answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh.

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

²¹Behold, I will bring evil on you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, or, male and him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.

²²e 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 � ira, fazendo Israel pecar.

²²I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation with which you have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.”

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

²³Yahweh also spoke of Jezebel, saying, “The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.

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

²⁴The dogs will eat he who dies of Ahab in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he 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.

²⁵But there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

²⁶E 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.)

²⁶He did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.

²⁷Sucedeu, 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.

²⁷It happened, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.

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

²⁸The word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

²⁹Não 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.

²⁹“See how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but in his son’s days will I bring the evil on his house.”
