< 2 Chronicles 25 >

1 Amaziah was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years. His mother's name was Jehoaddan and she came from Jerusalem.
Era Amasias da edade de vinte e cinco annos, quando começou a reinar, e reinou vinte e nove annos em Jerusalem: e era o nome de sua mãe Joadan, de Jerusalem.
2 He did what was right in the Lord's sight but not with complete commitment.
E fez o que era recto aos olhos do Senhor, porém não com coração inteiro.
3 After he had made sure his rule was secure, he executed the officers who had murdered his father the king.
Succedeu pois que, sendo-lhe o reino já confirmado, matou a seus servos que feriram o rei seu pae;
4 However, he did not kill their sons, as is written in the Law, in the book of Moses, where the Lord commanded: “Fathers must not be executed for their children, and children must not be executed for their fathers. Everyone is to die for their own sin.”
Porém não matou a seus filhos: mas fez como na lei está escripto, no livro de Moysés, como o Senhor ordenou, dizendo: Não morrerão os paes pelos filhos, nem os filhos morrerão pelos paes; mas cada um morrerá pelo seu peccado
5 Then Amaziah called up the people of Judah for military service, and assigned them by families to commanders of thousands and of hundreds. He also took a census of those twenty years of age and older throughout Judah and Benjamin, and found there was 300,000 first-rate fighting men who could use spear and shield.
E Amasias ajuntou a Judah e os poz segundo as casas dos paes, por chefes de milhares, e por chefes de centenas, por todo o Judah e Benjamin; e os numerou, de vinte annos e d'ahi para cima, e achou d'elles trezentos mil escolhidos que sahiam ao exercito, e levavam lança e escudo.
6 He also hired 100,000 battle-ready fighting men from Israel for a hundred talents of silver.
Tambem d'Israel tomou a soldo cem mil varões valentes, por cem talentos de prata.
7 But a man of God came to him and said, “Your Majesty, don't let this army of Israel join you, for the Lord is not with Israel, with these sons of Ephraim!
Porém um homem de Deus veiu a elle, dizendo: Oh rei, não deixes ir comtigo o exercito de Israel: porque o Senhor não é com Israel, a saber, com os filhos d'Ephraim.
8 Even if you fight bravely, God will let you stumble and fall before the enemy, for God has the power to help you or let you fall.”
Se porém fôres, faze-o, esforça-te para a peleja; Deus te fará cair diante do inimigo; porque força ha em Deus para ajudar e para fazer cair
9 Amaziah asked the man of God, “But what about the hundred talents of silver I paid the army of Israel?” “The Lord can give you much more than that!” replied the man of God.
E disse Amasias ao homem de Deus: Que se fará pois dos cem talentos de prata que dei ás tropas d'Israel? E disse o homem de Deus: Mais tem o Senhor que te dar do que isso.
10 So Amaziah dismissed the army he'd hired from Ephraim and sent them home. They became very angry with Judah, and returned home furious.
Então separou Amasias as tropas que lhe tinham vindo de Ephraim, para que se fossem ao seu logar; pelo que se accendeu a sua ira contra Judah, e voltaram para o seu logar em ardor d'ira.
11 Amaziah then bravely led his army to the Valley of Salt, where they attacked the Edomite army from Seir, and killed ten thousand of them.
Esforçou-se pois Amasias, e conduziu o seu povo, e foi-se ao valle do sal; e feriu dos filhos de Seir dez mil.
12 The army of Judah also captured another ten thousand, took them to the top of a cliff and threw them off, killing them all.
Tambem os filhos de Judah prenderam vivos dez mil, e os trouxeram ao cume da rocha; e do mais alto da rocha os lançaram d'alto abaixo, e todos arrebentaram.
13 But the men of the army Amaziah sent home, refusing to let them go with him to battle, raided the towns of Judah, from Samaria to Beth-horon They killed 3,000 of their inhabitants and took a great deal of plunder.
Porém os homens das tropas que Amasias despedira, para que não fossem com elle á peleja, deram sobre as cidades de Judah desde Samaria, até Beth-horon; e feriram d'elles tres mil, e saquearam grande despojo.
14 When Amaziah returned from killing the Edomites, he brought back the gods of the people of Seir and set them up as his own gods, worshiped them, and offered sacrifices to them.
E succedeu que, depois que Amasias veiu da matança dos idumeos, e trouxe comsigo os deuses dos filhos de Seir, tomou-os por seus deuses, e prostrou-se diante d'elles, e queimou-lhes incenso.
15 The Lord became angry with Amaziah and he sent a prophet to him, who said to him, “Why would you worship the gods of a people who couldn't even save their own people from you?”
Então a ira do Senhor se accendeu contra Amasias; e mandou-lhe um propheta que lhe disse: Porque buscaste deuses do povo, que a seu povo não livraram da tua mão?
16 But while he was still speaking, the king said to him, “Have we made you a counselor to the king? Stop right now! Do you want to be struck down?” So the prophet stopped, but said, “I know that God has decided to destroy you, because you have acted like this and have refused to listen to my advice.”
E succedeu que, fallando-lhe elle, lhe respondeu: Pozeram-te por conselheiro do rei? cala-te, porque te feririam? então o propheta parou, e disse: Bem vejo eu que já o Senhor deliberou destruir-te; porquanto fizeste isto, e não déste ouvidos a meu conselho.
17 Then Amaziah, king of Judah, took advice from his counselors and sent a message to the king of Israel, Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu. “Come and face me in battle,” he challenged.
E, tendo tomado conselho, Amasias, rei de Judah, enviou a Joás, filho de Joachaz, filho de Jehu, rei d'Israel, a dizer: Vem, vejamo-nos cara a cara.
18 Joash, king of Israel, replied to Amaziah, king of Judah, “A thistle on Lebanon sent a message to a cedar on Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son for a wife,’ but a wild animal of Lebanon passed by and trampled down the thistle.
Porém Joás, rei d'Israel, mandou dizer a Amasias, rei de Judah: O cardo que estava no Libano mandou dizer ao cedro que estava no Libano: Dá tua filha a meu filho por mulher; porém os animaes do campo que estão no Libano passaram e pizaram o cardo.
19 You're telling yourself how great you are for defeating Edom, boasting about it. But just stay at home. Why should you stir up trouble that will bring you down, and Judah with you?”
Tu dizes: Eis que tenho ferido os idumeos; e elevou-se o teu coração, para te gloriares: agora pois fica em tua casa; porque te entremetterias no mal, para caires tu e Judah comtigo?
20 But Amaziah didn't listen, for God was going to hand him over to his enemies because he had chosen to worship the gods of Edom.
Porém Amasias não lhe deu ouvidos, porque isto vinha de Deus, para entregal-os na mão dos seus inimigos; porquanto buscaram os deuses dos idumeos.
21 So Joash king of Israel prepared for battle. He and Amaziah, king of Judah, faced one another at Beth-shemesh in Judah.
E Joás, rei d'Israel, subiu; e elle e Amasias, rei de Judah, se viram cara a cara em Beth-semes, que está em Judah.
22 Judah was defeated by Israel—they all ran away home.
E Judah foi ferido diante d'Israel: e foram-se cada um para as suas tendas.
23 Joash, king of Israel, captured Amaziah, king of Judah, son of Joash, son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh. He took him to Jerusalem, and demolished the wall of Jerusalem for 400 cubits, from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate.
E Joás, rei d'Israel, prendeu a Amasias, rei de Judah, filho de Joás, o filho de Joachaz em Beth-semes, e o trouxe a Jerusalem; e derribou o muro de Jerusalem, desde a porta d'Ephraim até á porta da esquina, quatrocentos covados.
24 He carried away all the gold and silver, and all the articles found in God's Temple that had been looked after by Obed-edom and in the treasuries of the king's palace, as well as some hostages, and then returned to Samaria.
Tambem tomou todo o oiro, e a prata, e todos os vasos que se acharam na casa de Deus com Obed-edom, e os thesouros da casa do rei, e os refens; e voltou para Samaria.
25 Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, lived for fifteen years after the death of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
E viveu Amasias, filho de Joás, rei de Judah, depois da morte de Joás, filho de Joachaz, rei d'Israel, quinze annos.
26 The rest of what Amaziah did, from beginning to end, is written down in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
Quanto ao mais dos successos d'Amasias, tanto os primeiros como os ultimos, eis-que porventura não estão escriptos no livro dos reis de Judah e d'Israel?
27 After Amaziah gave up following the Lord, a plot was hatched against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But the plotters sent men to Lachish to hunt him down, and they killed him there.
E desde o tempo que Amasias se desviou d'após o Senhor, conspiraram contra elle em Jerusalem, porém elle fugiu para Lachis, mas enviaram após elle a Lachis, e o mataram ali.
28 They brought him back by horse and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
E o trouxeram sobre cavallos e o sepultaram com seus paes na cidade de Judah.
