2 Reis 7
Almeida Revista e Corrigida 2009
Eliseu prediz a abundância de víveres
7 Então, disse Eliseu: Ouvi a palavra do Senhor; assim diz o Senhor: Amanhã, quase a este tempo, uma medida de farinha haverá por um siclo, e duas medidas de cevada, por um siclo, à porta de Samaria. 2 Porém um capitão, em cuja mão o rei se encostava, respondeu ao homem de Deus e disse: Eis que, ainda que o Senhor fizesse janelas no céu, poder-se-ia fazer isso? E ele disse: Eis que o verás com os teus olhos, porém daí não comerás.
3 E quatro homens leprosos estavam à entrada da porta, os quais disseram uns aos outros: Para que estaremos nós aqui até morrermos? 4 Se dissermos: Entremos na cidade, há fome na cidade, e morreremos aí; e, se ficarmos aqui, também morreremos; vamos nós, pois, agora, e demos conosco no arraial dos siros; se nos deixarem viver, viveremos, e, se nos matarem, tão somente morreremos. 5 E levantaram-se ao crepúsculo, para irem ao arraial dos siros; e, chegando à entrada do arraial dos siros, eis que não havia ali ninguém. 6 Porque o Senhor fizera ouvir no arraial dos siros ruído de carros e ruído de cavalos, como o ruído de um grande exército; de maneira que disseram uns aos outros: Eis que o rei de Israel alugou contra nós os reis dos heteus e os reis dos egípcios, para virem contra nós. 7 Pelo que se levantaram, e fugiram no crepúsculo, e deixaram as suas tendas, e os seus cavalos, e os seus jumentos, e o arraial como estava; e fugiram para salvarem a sua vida. 8 Chegando, pois, estes leprosos à entrada do arraial, entraram numa tenda, e comeram, e beberam, e tomaram dali prata, e ouro, e vestes, e foram, e os esconderam; então, voltaram, e entraram em outra tenda, e dali também tomaram alguma coisa, e a esconderam.
9 Então, disseram uns para os outros: Não fazemos bem; este dia é dia de boas-novas, e nos calamos; se esperarmos até à luz da manhã, algum mal nos sobrevirá; pelo que agora vamos e o anunciemos à casa do rei. 10 Vieram, pois, e bradaram aos porteiros da cidade, e lhes anunciaram, dizendo: Fomos ao arraial dos siros, e eis que lá não havia ninguém, nem voz de homem, porém, só cavalos atados, e jumentos atados, e as tendas como estavam dantes. 11 E chamaram os porteiros, e estes o anunciaram dentro da casa do rei. 12 E o rei se levantou de noite e disse aos seus servos: Agora, vos farei saber o que é que os siros nos fizeram; bem sabem eles que esfaimados estamos; pelo que saíram do arraial, a esconder-se pelo campo, dizendo: Quando saírem da cidade, então, os tomaremos vivos e entraremos na cidade. 13 Então, um dos seus servos respondeu e disse: Tomem-se, pois, cinco dos cavalos do resto que ficou aqui dentro, pois toda a multidão dos israelitas que ficaram aqui de resto terá a mesma sorte da multidão dos israelitas que já pereceram; enviemo-los e vejamos. 14 Tomaram, pois, dois cavalos de carro; e o rei os enviou após o exército dos siros, dizendo: Ide e vede. 15 E foram após eles até ao Jordão, e eis que todo o caminho estava cheio de vestes e de aviamentos, que os siros, apressando-se, lançaram fora; e voltaram os mensageiros e o anunciaram ao rei.
16 Então, saiu o povo e saqueou o arraial dos siros; e havia uma medida de farinha por um siclo, e duas medidas de cevada, por um siclo, conforme a palavra do Senhor. 17 E pusera o rei à porta o capitão em cuja mão se encostava; e o povo o atropelou na porta, e ele morreu, como falara o homem de Deus, o que falou quando o rei descera a ele. 18 Porque assim sucedeu como o homem de Deus falara ao rei, dizendo: Amanhã, quase a este tempo, haverá duas medidas de cevada por um siclo, e uma medida de farinha, por um siclo, à porta de Samaria. 19 E aquele capitão respondera ao homem de Deus e disse: Eis que, ainda que o Senhor fizesse janelas no céu, poder-se-ia isso fazer conforme essa palavra? E o homem de Deus dissera: Eis que o verás com os teus olhos, porém daí não comerás. 20 E assim lhe sucedeu, porque o povo o atropelou à porta, e ele morreu.
2 Kings 7
Contemporary English Version
7 Elisha answered, “I have a message for you. The Lord promises that tomorrow here in Samaria, you will be able to buy a large sack of flour or two large sacks of barley for almost nothing.”
2 The chief officer there with the king replied, “I don't believe it! Even if the Lord sent a rainstorm, it couldn't produce that much grain by tomorrow.”
“You will see it happen, but you won't eat any of the food,” Elisha warned him.
The Syrian Army Stops Its Attack
3 About the same time, four men with leprosy[a] were just outside the gate of Samaria. They said to each other, “Why should we sit here, waiting to die? 4 There's nothing to eat in the city, so we would starve if we went inside. But if we stay out here, we will die for sure. Let's sneak over to the Syrian army camp and surrender. They might kill us, but they might not.” 5-8 That evening the four men got up and left for the Syrian camp.
As they walked toward the camp, the Lord caused the Syrian troops to hear what sounded like the roar of a huge cavalry. The soldiers said to each other, “Listen! The king of Israel must have hired Hittite and Egyptian troops to attack us. Let's get out of here!” So they ran out of their camp that night, leaving their tents and horses and donkeys.
When the four men with leprosy reached the edge of the Syrian camp, no one was there. They walked into one of the tents, where they ate and drank, before carrying off clothes, as well as silver and gold. They hid all this, then walked into another tent; they took what they wanted and hid it too.
9 They said to each other, “This isn't right. Today is a day to celebrate, and we haven't told anyone else what has happened. If we wait until morning, we will be punished. Let's go to the king's palace at once and tell the good news.”
10 They went back to Samaria and shouted up to the guards at the gate, “We've just come from the Syrian army camp, and all the soldiers are gone! The tents are empty, and the horses and donkeys are still tied up. We didn't see or hear anybody.”
11 The guards reported the news to the king's palace. 12 The king got out of bed and said to his officers, “I know what those Syrians are doing. They know we're starving, so they're hiding in the fields, hoping we will go out to look for food. When we do, they can capture us and take over our city.”
13 One of his officers replied, “We have a few horses left—why don't we let some men take five of them and go to the Syrian camp and see what's happening? We're going to die anyway like those who have already died.”[b] 14 They found two chariots, and the king commanded the men to find out what had happened to the Syrian troops.
15 The men rode as far as the Jordan River. All along the way they saw clothes and equipment that the Syrians had thrown away as they escaped. Then they went back to the king and told him what they had seen.
16 At once the people went to the Syrian camp and carried off what was left. They took so much that a large sack of flour and two large sacks of barley sold for almost nothing, just as the Lord had promised.
17 The king of Israel had put his chief officer in charge of the gate, but he died when the people trampled him as they rushed out of the city. 18 Earlier, when the king was at Elisha's house, Elisha had told him that flour or barley would sell for almost nothing. 19 But the officer refused to believe that even the Lord could do that. So Elisha warned him that he would see it happen, but would not eat any of the food. 20 And that's exactly what happened—the officer was trampled to death.
2 Kings 7
King James Version
7 Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
2 Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the Lord would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
3 And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?
4 If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
5 And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there.
6 For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.
7 Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
8 And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it.
9 Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household.
10 So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were.
11 And he called the porters; and they told it to the king's house within.
12 And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now shew you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we be hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city.
13 And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed:) and let us send and see.
14 They took therefore two chariot horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.
15 And they went after them unto Jordan: and, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.
16 And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the Lord.
17 And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to him.
18 And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria:
19 And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the Lord should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
20 And so it fell out unto him: for the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died.
列王紀下 7
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
7 以利沙說：「你們要聽耶和華的話，耶和華如此說：明日約這時候，在撒瑪利亞城門口，一細亞細麵只賣一舍客勒，二細亞大麥也賣一舍客勒。」 2 有一個攙扶王的軍官回答神人說：「看哪，即使耶和華打開天上的窗戶，也不可能有這事。」以利沙說：「看哪，你必親眼看見，在那裏卻吃不到甚麼。」
亞蘭軍隊棄營逃命
3 在城門口有四個長痲瘋的人，他們彼此說：「我們為何坐在這裏等死呢？ 4 我們若說要進城去，城裏有饑荒，我們必死在那裏。若我們在這裏坐着不動，也必死。現在，來吧，我們去向亞蘭人的軍隊投降。若他們饒我們的命，我們就活着；若殺我們，我們就死吧！」 5 黃昏的時候，他們起來往亞蘭人的軍營去；到了營邊，看哪，沒有一人在那裏。 6 因為主使亞蘭人的軍隊聽見戰車戰馬的聲音，大軍的聲音，他們就彼此說：「看哪，這必是以色列王雇用赫人諸王和埃及諸王來攻擊我們。」 7 所以，在黃昏的時候他們起來逃跑，撇下帳棚、馬、驢，把軍營留在原處，只顧逃命。 8 那些長痲瘋的人到了營邊，進了一座帳棚，吃了喝了，從當中拿走金銀和衣服，收藏起來。他們又回來，進了另一座帳棚，從當中拿走財物去收藏。
9 那時，他們彼此說：「我們所做的不對了！這一天是有好消息的日子，我們竟不作聲！若等到天亮，我們就有罪了。現在，來，我們去向王室報信吧！」 10 他們就去叫守城門的人，告訴他們說：「我們到了亞蘭人的軍營，看哪，沒有一人在那裏，也無人聲，只有拴着的馬和驢，帳棚都留在原處。」 11 守城門的人就呼叫，他們向城內的王室報信。 12 王夜間起來，對臣僕說：「我告訴你們亞蘭人向我們做的事。他們知道我們飢餓，所以離營，埋伏在田野，說：『以色列人出城的時候，我們活捉他們，我們就可以進到城裏去。』」 13 王的一個臣僕回答說：「不如叫人從城裏剩下的馬中取五匹，看哪，這些馬像以色列大眾一樣[a]，快要滅亡了；我們派人去窺探吧！」 14 於是他們取了兩輛車和馬，王派人去跟蹤亞蘭人的軍隊，說：「你們去窺探吧。」 15 他們去跟蹤亞蘭人，直到約旦河。看哪，整條路上都是亞蘭人匆忙逃跑時所丟棄的衣服和器具，使者就回來向王報告。
16 百姓就出去，擄掠亞蘭人的軍營。於是一細亞細麵只賣一舍客勒，二細亞大麥也賣一舍客勒，正如耶和華所說的。 17 王派攙扶他的那軍官在城門指揮，百姓在城門把他踩死了，正如神人在王下到他那裏的時候所說的。 18 神人曾對王說：「明日約這時候，在撒瑪利亞城門口，二細亞大麥只賣一舍客勒，一細亞細麵也賣一舍客勒。」 19 那軍官回答神人說：「看哪，即使耶和華打開天上的窗戶，也不可能有這事。」神人說：「看哪，你必親眼看見，在那裏卻吃不到甚麼。」 20 這話果然應驗在他身上，因為百姓在城門把他踩死了。
