1 E depois da morte de Acabe, Moabe se rebelou contra Israel.
2 E caiu Acazias pelas grades de um quarto alto, que tinha em Samaria, e adoeceu; e enviou mensageiros, e disse-lhes: Ide, e perguntai a Baal-Zebube, deus de Ecrom, se sararei desta doença.
3 Mas o anjo do Senhor disse a Elias, o tisbita: Levanta-te, sobe para te encontrares com os mensageiros do rei de Samaria, e dize-lhes: Porventura não há Deus em Israel, para irdes consultar a Baal-Zebube, deus de Ecrom?
4 E por isso assim diz o Senhor: Da cama, a que subiste, não descerás, mas sem falta morrerás. Então Elias partiu.
5 E os mensageiros voltaram para ele; e ele lhes disse: Que há, que voltastes?
6 E eles lhe disseram: Um homem saiu ao nosso encontro, e nos disse: Ide, voltai para o rei que vos mandou, e dizei-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor: Porventura não há Deus em Israel, para que mandes consultar a Baal-Zebube, deus de Ecrom? Portanto da cama, a que subiste, não descerás, mas sem falta morrerás.
7 E ele lhes disse: Qual era a aparência do homem que veio ao vosso encontro e vos falou estas palavras?
8 E eles lhe disseram: Era um homem peludo, e com os lombos cingidos de um cinto de couro. Então disse ele: É Elias, o tisbita.
9 Então o rei lhe enviou um capitão de cinqüenta com seus cinqüenta; e, subindo a ele (porque eis que estava assentado no cume do monte), disse-lhe: Homem de Deus, o rei diz: Desce.
10 Mas Elias respondeu, e disse ao capitão de cinqüenta: Se eu, pois, sou homem de Deus, desça fogo do céu, e te consuma a ti e aos teus cinqüenta. Então fogo desceu do céu, e consumiu a ele e aos seus cinqüenta.
11 E tornou o rei a enviar-lhe outro capitão de cinqüenta, com os seus cinqüenta; ele lhe respondeu, dizendo: Homem de Deus, assim diz o rei: Desce depressa.
12 E respondeu Elias: Se eu sou homem de Deus, desça fogo do céu, e te consuma a ti e aos teus cinqüenta. Então o fogo de Deus desceu do céu, e o consumiu a ele e aos seus cinqüenta.
13 E tornou a enviar um terceiro capitão de cinqüenta, com os seus cinqüenta; então subiu o capitão de cinqüenta e, chegando, pôs-se de joelhos diante de Elias, e suplicou-lhe, dizendo: Homem de Deus, seja, peço-te, preciosa aos teus olhos a minha vida, e a vida destes cinqüenta teus servos.
14 Eis que fogo desceu do céu, e consumiu aqueles dois primeiros capitães de cinqüenta, com os seus cinqüenta; porém, agora seja preciosa aos teus olhos a minha vida.
15 Então o anjo do Senhor disse a Elias: Desce com este, não temas. E levantou-se, e desceu com ele ao rei.
16 E disse-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor: Por que enviaste mensageiros a consultar a Baal-Zebube, deus de Ecrom? Porventura é porque não há Deus em Israel, para consultar a sua palavra? Portanto desta cama, a que subiste, não descerás, mas certamente morrerás.
17 Assim, pois, morreu, conforme a palavra do Senhor, que Elias falara; e Jorão começou a reinar no seu lugar no ano segundo de Jeorão, filho de Jeosafá, rei de Judá; porquanto não tinha filho.
18 O mais dos atos de Acazias, tudo quanto fez, porventura não está escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel?
1 And Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
2 And Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick. And he sent messengers, and said to them, Go, inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover of this sickness.
3 But the agent of LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, Is it because there is no God in Israel that ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?
4 Now therefore thus says LORD, Thou shall not come down from the bed where thou have gone up, but shall surely die. And Elijah departed.
5 And the messengers returned to him, and he said to them, Why is it that ye are returned?
6 And they said to him, There came up a man to meet us, and said to us, Go, turn again to the king that sent you, and say to him, Thus says LORD, Is it because there is no God in Israel that thou send to inquire of Baal-zebub, the go
7 And he said to them, What manner of man was he who came up to meet you, and told you these words?
8 And they answered him, He was a hairy man, and girt with a belt of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
9 Then [the king] sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him, and, behold, he was sitting on the top of the hill. And he spoke to him, O man of God, the king has said, Come down.
10 And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
11 And again he sent to him another captain of fifty and his fifty. And he answered and said to him, O man of God, thus has the king said, Come down quickly.
12 And Elijah answered and said to them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
13 And again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said to him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the
14 Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties, but now let my life be precious in thy sight.
15 And the agent of LORD said to Elijah, Go down with him; do not be afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him to the king.
16 And he said to him, Thus says LORD, Inasmuch as thou have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? Therefore thou shall not come down from the bed w
17 So he died according to the word of LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram began to reign in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, because he had no son.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
