1 Reyes 21
Nova Bíblia Viva
1Nabote, um homem de Jezreel, tinha uma plantação de uvas nos arredores da cidade, ao lado do palácio do rei Acabe.
2Um dia o rei falou com ele, mostrando interesse em comprar aquela propriedade. “Desejo a sua vinha para formar uma horta”, explicou o rei, “já que fica ao lado do palácio. Em troca eu lhe darei uma vinha melhor ou, se for do seu agrado, eu lhe pagarei um preço justo por ela”.
3Nabote, porém, respondeu: “O Senhor me proíbe de dar essa terra que é herança dos meus pais”.
4Então Acabe voltou ao palácio aborrecido e com muita raiva, porque Nabote, de Jezreel, lhe havia dito: “Não darei a herança dos meus pais”. Ele não quis saber de comer; foi deitar-se e virou o rosto para a parede!
5“O que está acontecendo com você?”, perguntou sua esposa Jezabel. “Por que você não se alimenta? O que deixou você assim tão aborrecido?”
6“Pedi a Nabote que me vendesse a sua plantação de uvas, ou que trocasse por outra terra, e ele não quis fazer o negócio”, Acabe disse a ela.
7“Afinal de contas, você é ou não é o rei de Israel?”, perguntou Jezabel. “Levante-se, coma e não se preocupe com isso. Eu vou conseguir a plantação de uvas de Nabote, de Jezreel!”
8Então ela escreveu algumas cartas em nome de Acabe, selou as cartas com o selo real, e mandou às autoridades de Jezreel, onde Nabote morava.
9Na carta ela escreveu: “Reúnam os moradores da cidade e anunciem um dia de jejum e oração. Depois façam com que Nabote compareça num lugar de destaque entre o povo,
10e encontrem dois homens vadios que o acusem de amaldiçoar Deus e o rei. Depois levem Nabote para fora e o matem a pedradas”.
11Os anciãos da cidade de Nabote e outros líderes fizeram conforme as instruções da rainha Jezabel.
12Oficializaram o jejum e colocaram Nabote para sentar-se num lugar de destaque no meio do povo.
13Então dois homens de mau caráter acusaram Nabote diante do povo, dizendo: “Nabote amaldiçoou Deus e o rei”. E ele foi arrastado para fora da cidade e apedrejado até morrer.
14Os anciãos da cidade e os outros líderes mandaram dizer a Jezabel: “Nabote foi apedrejado e está morto”.
15Quando Jezabel ouviu a notícia de que Nabote havia sido apedrejado até morrer, disse a Acabe: “Lembra-se daquela plantação de uvas que Nabote não quis vender a você? Bem, você pode ficar com ela agora! Ele está morto!”
16Quando Acabe ouviu que Nabote estava morto, desceu para tomar posse daquela plantação de uvas.
17Então a palavra do Senhor veio a Elias, o tesbita:
18“Vá até Samaria para se encontrar com o rei Acabe. Ele está na plantação de uvas de Nabote, a fim de tomar posse dela.
19Diga a ele: ‘Assim diz o Senhor: Já não basta o mal em matar Nabote? Era preciso que você se apossasse de sua propriedade?’ E acrescente: ‘Assim diz o Senhor: Por causa disto, os cães vão lamber o seu sangue fora da cidade, da mesma maneira como lamberam o sangue de Nabote!’ ”
20“Então o meu inimigo me encontrou!”, exclamou Acabe ao ver Elias. “Sim”, respondeu Elias, “por que você se vendeu para fazer o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor?
21Por isso, ele diz: ‘Eu vou fazer com que a desgraça caia sobre você e vou acabar com você. E não vou permitir que sobreviva nenhum dos seus descendentes do sexo masculino, tanto escravo como livre!
22Vou fazer com a sua família o mesmo que fiz com a família do rei Jeroboão, filho de Nebate, e com a família do rei Baasa, filho de Aías, porque você provocou a ira de Deus e levou todo o Israel a pecar’.
23“E a respeito de Jezabel o Senhor diz: ‘Os cães vão devorar o corpo de sua esposa Jezabel, junto aos muros de Jezreel’.
24“Os membros que pertencem à família de Acabe que morrerem na cidade serão comidos pelos cães, e os que morrerem no campo serão comidos pelas aves dos céus”.
25Nenhuma outra pessoa se vendeu tão completamente como Acabe, pois sua esposa Jezabel conseguiu que ele fizesse toda espécie de mal que o Senhor reprova.
26Ele foi culpado porque adorou ídolos como adoraram os amorreus, povo que o Senhor tinha expulsado da terra para dar lugar ao povo de Israel.
27Quando Acabe ouviu essas profecias, rasgou as roupas, usou roupa feita de pano de saco, jejuou, passou a dormir em cima de panos de saco e a andar de cabeça baixa.
28Então veio outra palavra ao tesbita Elias da parte do Senhor:
29“Está vendo como Acabe se humilhou diante de mim? Visto que ele se humilhou, não vou aplicar o castigo que prometi enquanto ele estiver vivo, mas vou aplicar ao filho dele”.
Reina-Valera 1909
1PASADOS estos negocios, aconteció que Naboth de Jezreel tenía en Jezreel una viña junto al palacio de Achâb rey de Samaria.
2Y Achâb habló á Naboth, diciendo: Dame tu viña para un huerto de legumbres, porque está cercana, junto á mi casa, y yo te daré por ella otra viña mejor que esta; ó si mejor te pareciere, te pagaré su valor en dinero.
3Y Naboth respondió á Achâb: Guárdeme Jehová de que yo te dé á ti la heredad de mis padres.
4Y vínose Achâb á su casa triste y enojado, por la palabra que Naboth de Jezreel le había respondido, diciendo: No te daré la heredad de mis padres. Y acostóse en su cama, y volvió su rostro, y no comió pan.
5Y vino á él su mujer Jezabel, y díjole: ¿Por qué está tan triste tu espíritu, y no comes pan?
6Y él respondió: Porque hablé con Naboth de Jezreel, y díjele que me diera su viña por dinero, ó que, si más quería, le daría otra viña por ella; y él respondió: Yo no te daré mi viña.
7Y su mujer Jezabel le dijo: ¿Eres tú ahora rey sobre Israel? Levántate, y come pan, y alégrate: yo te daré la viña de Naboth de Jezreel.
8Entonces ella escribió cartas en nombre de Achâb, y sellólas con su anillo y enviólas á los ancianos y á los principales que moraban en su ciudad con Naboth.
9Y las cartas que escribió decían así: Proclamad ayuno, y poned á Naboth á la cabecera del pueblo;
10Y poned dos hombres perversos delante de él, que atestigüen contra él, y digan: Tú has blasfemado á Dios y al rey. Y entonces sacadlo, y apedreadlo, y muera.
11Y los de su ciudad, los ancianos y los principales que moraban en su ciudad, lo hicieron como Jezabel les mandó, conforme á lo escrito en las cartas que ella les había enviado.
12Y promulgaron ayuno, y asentaron á Naboth á la cabecera del pueblo.
13Vinieron entonces dos hombres perversos, y sentáronse delante de él: y aquellos hombres de Belial atestiguaron contra Naboth delante del pueblo, diciendo: Naboth ha blasfemado á Dios y al rey. Y sacáronlo fuera de la ciudad, y apedreáronlo con piedras, y murió.
14Después enviaron á decir á Jezabel: Naboth ha sido apedreado y muerto.
15Y como Jezabel oyó que Naboth había sido apedreado y muerto, dijo á Achâb: Levántate y posee la viña de Naboth de Jezreel, que no te la quiso dar por dinero; porque Naboth no vive, sino que es muerto.
16Y oyendo Achâb que Naboth era muerto, levantóse para descender á la viña de Naboth de Jezreel, para tomar posesión de ella.
17Entonces fué palabra de Jehová á Elías Thisbita, diciendo:
18Levántate, desciende á encontrarte con Achâb rey de Israel, que está en Samaria: he aquí él está en la viña de Naboth, á la cual ha descendido para tomar posesión de ella.
19Y hablarle has, diciendo: Así ha dicho Jehová: ¿No mataste y también has poseído? Y tornarás á hablarle, diciendo: Así ha dicho Jehová: En el mismo lugar donde lamieron los perros la sangre de Naboth, los perros lamerán también tu sangre, la tuya misma.
20Y Achâb dijo á Elías: ¿Me has hallado, enemigo mío? Y él respondió: Hete encontrado, porque te has vendido á mal hacer delante de Jehová.
21He aquí yo traigo mal sobre ti, y barreré tu posteridad, y talaré de Achâb todo meante á la pared, al guardado y al desamparado en Israel:
22Y yo pondré tu casa como la casa de Jeroboam hijo de Nabat, y como la casa de Baasa hijo de Ahía; por la provocación con que me provocaste á ira, y con que has hecho pecar á Israel.
23De Jezabel también ha hablado Jehová, diciendo: Los perros comerán á Jezabel en la barbacana de Jezreel.
24El que de Achâb fuere muerto en la ciudad, perros le comerán: y el que fuere muerto en el campo, comerlo han las aves del cielo.
25(A la verdad ninguno fué como Achâb, que se vendiese á hacer lo malo á los ojos de Jehová; porque Jezabel su mujer lo incitaba.
26El fué en grande manera abominable, caminando en pos de los ídolos, conforme á todo lo que hicieron los Amorrheos, á los cuales lanzó Jehová delante de los hijos de Israel.)
27Y acaeció cuando Achâb oyó estas palabras, que rasgó sus vestidos, y puso saco sobre su carne, y ayunó, y durmió en saco, y anduvo humillado.
28Entonces fué palabra de Jehová á Elías Thisbita, diciendo:
29¿No has visto como Achâb se ha humillado delante de mí? Pues por cuanto se ha humillado delante de mí, no traeré el mal en sus días: en los días de su hijo traeré el mal sobre su casa.
King James Version
1And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
2And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
3And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
4And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
5But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?
6And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
7And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
8So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
9And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:
10And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.
11And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
12They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
13And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
14Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
15And it came to pass, 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 thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
16And it came to pass, 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.
17And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.
19And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
20And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.
21Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
22And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.
23And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
24Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
25But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
26And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
27And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
28And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
29Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son’s days will I bring the evil upon his house.

1After these things, Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel, next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
2Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near 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.”
3Naboth said to Ahab, “May the LORD forbid me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!”
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.
5But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, “Why is your spirit so sad that you eat no bread?”
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.’”
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.”
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.
9She wrote in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
10Set two men, wicked 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.”
11The men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had instructed them in the letters which she had written and sent to them.
12They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
13The two men, the wicked fellows, came in and sat before him. The wicked 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.
14Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned and is dead.”
15When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, 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.”
16When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
17The LORD’s word came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
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.
19You shall speak to him, saying, ‘The LORD says, “Have you killed and also taken possession?”’ You shall speak to him, saying, ‘The LORD says, “In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will lick your blood, even yours.”’”
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 LORD’s sight.
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, and him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.
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.”
23The LORD also spoke of Jezebel, saying, “The dogs will eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.
24The dogs will eat whoever dies of Ahab in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat whoever dies in the field.”
25But there was no one like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
26He did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
27When Ahab heard those words, he tore his clothes, put sackcloth on his body, fasted, lay in sackcloth, and went about despondently.
28The LORD’s word came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
29“See how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but I will bring the evil on his house in his son’s day.”
