2 Chronicles 20
1 Now after this, the children of Moab and the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Meunim, made war against Jehoshaphat.
E sucedeu que, depois disto, os filhos de Moab, e os filhos de Ammon, e com eles outros de mais dos ammonitas, vieram à peleja contra Josaphat.
2 And they came to Jehoshaphat with the news, saying, A great army is moving against you from Edom across the sea; and now they are in Hazazon-tamar (which is En-gedi).
Então vieram alguns que deram aviso a Josaphat, dizendo: Vem contra ti uma grande multidão de além do mar e da Síria: e eis que já estão em Hatson-thamar, que é Engedi.
3 Then Jehoshaphat, in his fear, went to the Lord for directions, and gave orders all through Judah for the people to go without food.
Então Josaphat temeu, e pôs-se a buscar o Senhor; e apregoou jejum em todo o Judá.
4 And Judah came together to make prayer for help from the Lord; from every town of Judah they came to give worship to the Lord.
E Judá se ajuntou, para pedir socorro ao Senhor: também de todas as cidades de Judá vieram para buscarem ao Senhor.
5 And Jehoshaphat took his place in the meeting of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord in front of the new open space,
E pôs-se Josaphat em pé na congregação de Judá e de Jerusalém, na casa do Senhor, diante do pátio novo.
6 And said, O Lord, the God of our fathers, are you not God in heaven? are you not ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? and in your hands are power and strength so that no one is able to keep his place against you.
E disse: Ah Senhor, Deus de nossos pais, porventura não és tu Deus nos céus? pois tu és Dominador sobre todos os reinos das gentes, e na tua mão há força e potência, e não há quem te possa resistir.
7 Did you not, O Lord our God, after driving out the people of this land before your people Israel, give it to the seed of Abraham, your friend, for ever?
Porventura, ó Deus nosso, não lançaste tu fora os moradores desta terra, de diante do teu povo Israel, e a deste à semente de Abraão, teu amigo, para sempre
8 And they made it their living-place, building there a holy house for your name, and saying,
E habitaram nela; e edificaram-te nela um santuário ao teu nome, dizendo:
9 If evil comes on us, the sword, or punishment, or disease, or need of food, we will come to this house and to you, (for your name is in this house, ) crying to you in our trouble, and you will give us salvation in answer to our cry.
Se algum mal nos sobrevier, espada, juízo, peste, ou fome, nós nos apresentaremos diante desta casa e diante de ti; pois teu nome está nesta casa; e clamaremos a ti na nossa angústia, e tu nos ouvirás e livrarás.
10 And now, see, the children of Ammon and Moab and the people of Mount Seir, whom you kept Israel from attacking when they came out of Egypt, so that turning to one side they did not send destruction on them:
Agora, pois, eis que os filhos de Ammon e de Moab, e os das montanhas de Seir, pelos quais não permitiste passar a Israel, quando vinham da terra do Egito; mas deles se desviaram e não os destruiram;
11 See now, how as our reward they have come to send us out of your land which you have given us as our heritage.
Eis que nos dão o pago, vindo para lançar-nos fora da tua herança, que nos fizeste herdar.
12 O our God, will you not be their judge? for our strength is not equal to this great army which is coming against us; and we are at a loss what to do: but our eyes are on you.
Ah Deus nosso, porventura não os julgarás? porque em nós não há força perante esta grande multidão que vem contra nós, e não sabemos nós o que faremos; porém os nossos olhos estão postos em ti.
13 And all Judah were waiting before the Lord, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
E todo o Judá estava em pé perante o Senhor, como também as suas crianças, as suas mulheres, e os seus filhos.
14 Then, before all the meeting, the spirit of the Lord came on Jahaziel, the son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, son of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, a Levite and one of the family of Asaph;
Então veio o espírito do Senhor, no meio da congregação, sobre Jahaziel, filho de Zacarias, filho de Benaias, filho de Jehiel, filho de Mattanias, levita, dos filhos de Asaf,
15 And he said, Give ear, O Judah, and you people of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat: the Lord says to you, Have no fear and do not be troubled on account of this great army; for the fight is not yours but God's.
E disse: dai ouvidos todo o Judá, e vós, moradores de Jerusalém, e tu, ó rei Josaphat: assim o Senhor vos diz: Não temais, nem vos assusteis por causa desta grande multidão; pois a peleja não é vossa, senão de Deus.
16 Go down against them tomorrow: see, they are coming up by the slope of Ziz; at the end of the valley, before the waste land of Jeruel, you will come face to face with them.
Amanhã descereis contra eles; eis que sobem pela ladeira de Zis, e os achareis no fim do vale, diante do deserto de Jeruel.
17 There will be no need for you to take up arms in this fight; put yourselves in position, and keep where you are, and you will see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: have no fear and do not be troubled: go out against them tomorrow, for the Lord is with you.
Nesta peleja não tereis que pelejar: parai-vos, estai em pé, e vede a salvação do Senhor para convosco, ó Judá e Jerusalém; não temais, nem vos assusteis, amanhã sai-lhes ao encontro, porque o Senhor será convosco.
18 Then Jehoshaphat went down with his face to the earth, and all Judah and the people of Jerusalem gave worship to the Lord, falling down before him.
Então Josaphat se prostrou com o rosto em terra: e todo o Judá e os moradores de Jerusalém se lançaram perante o Senhor, adorando ao Senhor.
19 And the Levites, the children of the Kohathites and the Korahites, got to their feet and gave praise to the Lord, the God of Israel, with a loud voice.
E levantaram-se os levitas, dos filhos dos kohathitas, e dos filhos dos korathitas, para louvarem ao Senhor Deus de Israel, com grande voz até ao alto.
20 And early in the morning they got up and went out to the waste land of Tekoa: and when they were going out, Jehoshaphat took his station and said to them, Give ear to me, O Judah and you people of Jerusalem: have faith in the Lord your God and you will be safe; have faith in his prophets and all will go well for you.
E pela manhã cedo se levantaram e sairam ao deserto de Tekoa: e, saindo eles, pôs-se em pé Josaphat, e disse: Ouvi-me, ó Judá, e vós, moradores de Jerusalém: Crede no Senhor vosso Deus, e estareis seguros; crede nos seus profetas, e sereis prosperados.
21 And after discussion with the people, he put in their places those who were to make melody to the Lord, praising him in holy robes, while they went at the head of the army, and saying, May the Lord be praised, for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
E aconselhou-se com o povo, e ordenou cantores para o Senhor, que louvassem a Magestade santa, saindo diante dos armados, e dizendo: louvai ao Senhor, porque a sua benignidade dura para sempre.
22 And at the first notes of song and praise the Lord sent a surprise attack against the children of Ammon and Moab and the people of Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were overcome.
E, ao tempo que começaram com júbilo e louvor, o Senhor pôs emboscadas contra os filhos de Ammon e de Moab, e os das montanhas de Seir, que vieram contra Judá e foram desbaratados.
23 And the children of Ammon and Moab made an attack on the people of Mount Seir with a view to their complete destruction; and when they had put an end to the people of Seir, everyman's hand was turned against his neighbour for his destruction.
Porque os filhos de Ammon e de Moab se levantaram contra os moradores das montanhas de Seir, para os destruir e exterminar: e, acabando eles com os moradores de Seir, ajudaram uns aos outros a destruir-se.
24 And Judah came to the watchtower of the waste land, and looking in the direction of the army, they saw only dead bodies stretched on the earth; no living man was to be seen.
Entretanto chegou Judá à atalaia do deserto: e olharam para a multidão, e eis que eram corpos mortos, que jaziam em terra, e nenhum escapou.
25 And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their goods from them, they saw beasts in great numbers, and wealth and clothing and things of value, more than they were able to take away; all this they took for themselves, and they were three days getting it away, there was so much.
E vieram Josaphat e o seu povo para saquear os seus despojos, e acharam neles fazenda e cadáveres em abundância, assim como vasos preciosos, e tomaram para si tanto, que não podiam levar mais: e três dias saquearam o despojo, porque era muito.
26 On the fourth day they all came together in the Valley of Blessing, and there they gave blessing to the Lord; for which cause that place has been named the Valley of Blessing to this day.
E ao quarto dia se ajuntaram no vale de Beracha; porque ali louvaram o Senhor: por isso chamaram o nome daquele lugar o vale de Beracha, até ao dia de hoje.
27 Then all the men of Judah and Jerusalem went back, with Jehoshaphat at their head, coming back to Jerusalem with joy; for the Lord had made them glad over their haters.
Então voltaram todos os homens de Judá e de Jerusalém, e Josaphat à frente deles, para virem a Jerusalém com alegria: porque o Senhor os alegrara acerca dos seus inimigos.
28 So they came to Jerusalem with corded instruments and wind-instruments into the house of the Lord.
E vieram a Jerusalém com alaúdes, e com harpas, e com trombetas, para a casa do Senhor.
29 And the fear of God came on all the kingdoms of the lands, when they had news of how the Lord made war on those who came against Israel.
E veio o temor de Deus sobre todos os reinos daquelas terras, ouvindo eles que o Senhor havia pelejado contra os inimigos de Israel.
30 So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for the Lord gave him rest on every side.
E o reino de Josaphat ficou quieto: e o seu Deus lhe deu repouso em redor.
31 And Jehoshaphat was king over Judah: he was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling for twenty-five years in Jerusalem: his mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
E Josaphat reinou sobre Judá: era da idade de trinta e cinco anos quando começou a reinar e vinte e cinco anos reinou em Jerusalém; e era o nome de sua mãe, Azuba, filha de Silhi.
32 He went in the ways of his father Asa, not turning away, but doing right in the eyes of the Lord.
E andou no caminho d'Asa, seu pai, e não se desviou dele, fazendo o que era reto nos olhos do Senhor.
33 The high places, however, were not taken away, and the hearts of the people were still not true to the God of their fathers.
Contudo os altos se não tiraram, porque o povo não tinha ainda preparado o seu coração para com o Deus de seus pais.
34 Now as for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, they are recorded in the words of Jehu, the son of Hanani, which were put in the book of the kings of Israel.
Ora o resto dos sucessos de Josaphat, assim primeiros, como últimos, eis que está escrito nas notas de Jehu, filho de Hanani, que lhe fizeram apontar no livro dos reis de Israel.
35 After this Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became friends with Ahaziah, king of Israel, who did much evil:
Porém depois disto Josaphat, rei de Judá, se aliou com Achazias, rei de Israel, que obrou com toda a impiedade.
36 Together they made ships to go to Tarshish, building them in Ezion-geber.
E aliou-se com ele, para fazerem navios que fossem a Tharsis: e fizeram os navios em Esion-geber.
37 Then the word of Eliezer the prophet, the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah, came against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because you have let yourself be joined with Ahaziah, the Lord has sent destruction on your works. And the ships were broken and were not able to go to Tarshish.
Porém Eliezer, filho de Dodava, de Maresa, profetizou contra Josaphat, dizendo: Porquanto te aliaste com Achazias, o Senhor despedaçou as tuas obras. E os navios se quebraram, e não puderam ir a Tharsis.
