2 Reyes 1
Riveduta 1927
1Or dopo la morte di Achab, Moab si ribellò contro Israele.
2Achazia cadde dalla cancellata della sala superiore di un suo appartamento a Samaria, e ne restò ammalato; e spedì dei messi, dicendo loro: “Andate a consultare Baal-Zebub, dio di Ekron, per sapere se mi riavrò di questa malattia”.
3Ma un angelo dell’Eterno disse ad Elia il Tishbita: “Lèvati, sali incontro ai messi del re di Samaria, e di’ loro: E’ forse perché non v’è Dio in Israele che voi andate a consultare Baal-Zebub, dio di Ekron?
4Perciò, così dice l’Eterno: Tu non scenderai dal letto sul quale sei salito, ma per certo morrai”. Ed Elia se ne andò.
5I messi tornarono ad Achazia, il quale disse loro: “Perché siete tornati?”
6E quelli risposero: “Un uomo ci è venuto incontro, e ci ha detto: Andate, tornate dal re che vi ha mandati, e ditegli: Così dice l’Eterno: E’ forse perché non v’è alcun Dio in Israele che tu mandi a consultare Baal-Zebub, dio di Ekron? Perciò, non scenderai dal letto sul quale sei salito, ma per certo morrai”.
7Ed Achazia chiese loro: “Com’era l’uomo che vi è venuto incontro e vi ha detto coteste parole?”
8Quelli gli risposero: “Era un uomo vestito di pelo, con una cintola di cuoio intorno ai fianchi”. E Achazia disse: “E’ Elia il Tishbita!”
9Allora mandò un capitano di cinquanta uomini con la sua compagnia ad Elia; quegli salì e trovò Elia che stava seduto in cima al monte. Il capitano gli disse: “O uomo di Dio, il re dice: Scendi!”
10Elia rispose e disse al capitano dei cinquanta: “Se io sono un uomo di Dio, scenda del fuoco dal cielo, e consumi te e i tuoi cinquanta uomini!” E dal cielo scese del fuoco che consumò lui e i suoi cinquanta uomini.
11Achazia mandò di nuovo un altro capitano di cinquanta uomini con la sua compagnia, il quale si rivolse ad Elia e gli disse: “O uomo di Dio, il re dice così: Fa’ presto, scendi!;
12Elia rispose e disse loro: “Se io sono un uomo di Dio, scenda del fuoco dal cielo, e consumi te e i tuoi cinquanta uomini”. E dal cielo scese il fuoco di Dio che consumò lui e i suoi cinquanta.
13Achazia mandò di nuovo un terzo capitano di cinquanta uomini con la sua compagnia. Questo terzo capitano di cinquanta uomini salì da Elia; e, giunto presso a lui, gli si gittò davanti in ginocchio, e lo supplicò, dicendo: “O uomo di Dio, ti prego, la mia vita e la vita di questi cinquanta tuoi servi sia preziosa agli occhi tuoi!
14Ecco che del fuoco è sceso dal cielo, e ha consumato i due primi capitani di cinquanta uomini con le loro compagnie; ma ora sia la vita mia preziosa agli occhi tuoi”.
15E l’angelo dell’Eterno disse ad Elia: “Scendi con lui; non aver timore di lui”. Elia dunque si levò, scese col capitano, andò dal re, e gli disse:
16“Così dice l’Eterno: Poiché tu hai spediti de’ messi a consultar Baal-Zebub, dio d’Ekron, quasi che non ci fosse in Israele alcun Dio da poter consultare, perciò tu non scenderai dal letto sul quale sei salito, ma per certo morrai”.
17E Achazia morì, secondo la parola dell’Eterno pronunziata da Elia; e Jehoram cominciò a regnare invece di lui l’anno secondo di Jehoram, figliuolo di Giosafat re di Giuda, perché Achazia non aveva figliuoli.
18Or il resto delle azioni compiute da Achazia sta scritto nel libro delle Cronache dei re d’Israele.
Reina-Valera 1909
1DESPUÉS de la muerte de Achâb rebelóse Moab contra Israel.
2Y Ochôzías cayó por las celosías de una sala de la casa que tenía en Samaria; y estando enfermo envió mensajeros, y díjoles: Id, y consultad á Baal-zebub dios de Ecrón, si tengo de sanar de esta mi enfermedad.
3Entonces el ángel de Jehová habló á Elías Thisbita, diciendo: Levántate, y sube á encontrarte con los mensajeros del rey de Samaria, y les dirás: ¿No hay Dios en Israel, que vosotros vais á consultar á Baal-zebub dios de Ecrón?
4Por tanto así ha dicho Jehová: Del lecho en que subiste no descenderás, antes morirás ciertamente. Y Elías se fué.
5Y como los mensajeros se volvieron al rey, él les dijo: ¿Por qué pues os habéis vuelto?
6Y ellos le respondieron: Encontramos un varón que nos dijo: Id, y volveos al rey que os envió, y decidle: Así ha dicho Jehová: ¿No hay Dios en Israel, que tú envías á consultar á Baal-zebub dios de Ecrón? Por tanto, del lecho en que subiste no descenderás, antes morirás de cierto.
7Entonces él les dijo: ¿Qué hábito era el de aquel varón que encontrasteis, y os dijo tales palabras?
8Y ellos le respondieron: Un varón velloso, y ceñía sus lomos con un cinto de cuero. Entonces él dijo: Elías Thisbita es.
9Y envió luego á él un capitán de cincuenta con sus cincuenta, el cual subió á él; y he aquí que él estaba sentado en la cumbre del monte. Y él le dijo: Varón de Dios, el rey ha dicho que desciendas.
10Y Elías respondió, y dijo al capitán de cincuenta: Si yo soy varón de Dios, descienda fuego del cielo, y consúmate con tus cincuenta. Y descendió fuego del cielo, que lo consumió á él y á sus cincuenta.
11Volvió el rey á enviar á él otro capitán de cincuenta con sus cincuenta; y hablóle, y dijo: Varón de Dios, el rey ha dicho así: Desciende presto.
12Y respondióle Elías, y dijo: Si yo soy varón de Dios, descienda fuego del cielo, y consúmate con tus cincuenta. Y descendió fuego del cielo, que lo consumió á él y á sus cincuenta.
13Y volvió á enviar el tercer capitán de cincuenta con sus cincuenta: y subiendo aquel tercer capitán de cincuenta, hincóse de rodillas delante de Elías, y rogóle, diciendo: Varón de Dios, ruégote que sea de valor delante de tus ojos mi vida, y la vida de estos tus cincuenta siervos.
14He aquí ha descendido fuego del cielo, y ha consumido los dos primeros capitanes de cincuenta, con sus cincuenta; sea ahora mi vida de valor delante de tus ojos.
15Entonces el ángel de Jehová dijo á Elías: Desciende con él; no hayas de él miedo. Y él se levantó, y descendió con él al rey.
16Y díjole: Así ha dicho Jehová: Pues que enviaste mensajeros á consultar á Baal-zebub dios de Ecrón, ¿no hay Dios en Israel para consultar en su palabra? No descenderás, por tanto, del lecho en que subiste, antes morirás de cierto.
17Y murió conforme á la palabra de Jehová que había hablado Elías: y reinó en su lugar Joram, en el segundo año de Joram, hijo de Josaphat rey de Judá; porque Ochôzías no tenía hijo.
18Y lo demás de los hechos de Ochôzías, ¿no está escrito en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel?
King James Version
1Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
2And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.
3But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron?
4Now therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.
5And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why are ye now turned back?
6And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
7And he said unto them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words?
8And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
9Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down.
10And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then 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.
11Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.
12And Elijah answered and said unto 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.
13And he sent again a captain of the 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 unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.
14Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.
15And the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.
16And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
17So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
18Now 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?

1Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
2Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper room that was in Samaria, and was sick. So he sent messengers, and said to them, “Go, inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover from this sickness.”
3But the LORD’s angel said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and tell them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you go to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron?
4Now therefore the LORD says, “You will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.”’” Then Elijah departed.
5The messengers returned to him, and he said to them, “Why is it that you have returned?”
6They said to him, “A man came up to meet us, and said to us, ‘Go, return to the king who sent you, and tell him, “The LORD says, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you send to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.’”’”
7He said to them, “What kind of man was he who came up to meet you and told you these words?”
8They answered him, “He was a hairy man, and wearing a leather belt around his waist.” He said, “It’s Elijah the Tishbite.”
9Then the king sent a captain of fifty with his fifty to him. He went up to him; and behold, he was sitting on the top of the hill. He said to him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down!’”
10Elijah answered to the captain of fifty, “If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from the sky and consume you and your fifty!” Then fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
11Again he sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty. He answered him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down quickly!’”
12Elijah answered them, “If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from the sky and consume you and your fifty!” Then God’s fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
13Again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. The third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, and said to him, “Man of God, please let my life and the life of these fifty of your servants be precious in your sight.
14Behold, fire came down from the sky and consumed the last two captains of fifty with their fifties. But now let my life be precious in your sight.”
15The LORD’s angel said to Elijah, “Go down with him. Don’t be afraid of him.” Then he arose and went down with him to the king.
16He said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Because you 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 you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.’”
17So he died according to the LORD’s word which Elijah had spoken. Jehoram began to reign in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, because he had no son.
18Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
