2 Chronicles 33

1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

Tinha Manasses doze anos de idade, quando começou a reinar, e cincoênta e cinco anos reinou em Jerusalém.

2 But he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all the abominations of the nations which the Lord overturned before the sons of Israel.

E fez o que era mal aos olhos do Senhor, conforme às abominações dos gentios que o Senhor lançara fora de diante dos filhos de Israel.

3 And turning away, he repaired the high places, which had been demolished by his father, Hezekiah. And he constructed altars to the Baals, and made sacred groves. And he adored the entire army of heaven, and he served them.

Porque tornou a edificar os altos que Ezequias, seu pai, tinha derribado; e levantou altares a Baalim, e fez bosques, e prostrou-se diante de todo o exército dos céus, e o serviu.

4 Also, he built altars in the house of the Lord, about which the Lord had said, “My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”

E edificou altares na casa do Senhor, da qual o Senhor tinha dito: Em Jerusalém estará o meu nome eternamente.

5 But he built these for the entire army of heaven, in the two courts of the house of the Lord.

Edificou altares a todo o exército dos céus, em ambos os pátios da casa do Senhor.

6 And he caused his sons to pass through fire in the Valley of the son of Hinnom. He observed dreams, followed divinations, served the occult arts, had with him magicians and enchanters, and worked many evils before the Lord, so that he provoked him.

Fez ele também passar seus filhos pelo fogo no vale do filho de Hinnom, e usou de adivinhações e de agoiros, e de feitiçarias, e ordenou adivinhos e encantadores: e fez muitíssimo mal aos olhos do Senhor, para o provocar à ira

7 Also, he set up a graven image and molten statue in the house of God, about which God said to David, and to his son Solomon: “In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, I will place my name forever.

Também pôs uma imagem esculpida, o ídolo que tinha feito, na casa de Deus, da qual Deus tinha dito a David e a Salomão seu filho: nesta casa, em Jerusalém, que escolhi de todas as tribos de Israel, porei eu o meu nome para sempre;

8 And I will not cause the foot of Israel to be moved from the land which I delivered to their fathers. Yet this is so, only if they will take care to do what I have instructed them, by the hand of Moses, with the entire law and the ceremonies and the judgments.”

E nunca mais removerei o pé de Israel da terra que ordenei a vossos pais; contanto que tenham cuidado de fazer tudo o que eu lhes ordenei, conforme a toda a lei, e estatutos, e juízos, dados pela mão de Moisés.

9 And so Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did evil, more so than all the nations which the Lord had overturned before the face of the sons of Israel.

E Manasses tanto fez errar a Judá e aos moradores de Jerusalém, que fizeram pior do que as nações que o Senhor tinha destruído de diante dos filhos de Israel.

10 And the Lord spoke to him and to his people, but they were not willing to pay attention.

E falou o Senhor a Manasses e ao seu povo, porém não deram ouvidos.

11 Therefore, he led over them the leaders of the army of the king of the Assyrians. And they captured Manasseh, and they led him, bound with chains and fetters, to Babylon.

Pelo que o Senhor trouxe sobre eles os príncipes do exército do rei d'Assyria, os quais prenderam a Manasses entre os espinhais; e o amarraram com cadeias, e o levaram a Babilônia.

12 And after this, being in great anguish, he prayed to the Lord his God. And he did penance greatly before the God of his fathers.

E ele, angustiado, orou deveras ao Senhor seu Deus, e humilhou-se muito perante o Deus de seus pais;

13 And he petitioned and begged him intently. And he heeded his prayer, and led him back to Jerusalem, into his kingdom. And Manasseh realized that the Lord himself was God.

E lhe fez oração, e Deus se aplacou para com ele, e ouviu a sua súplica, e o tornou a trazer a Jerusalém, ao seu reino: então conheceu Manasses que o Senhor era Deus.

14 After these things, he built a wall outside the City of David, to the west of Gihon, at the steep valley, from the entrance to the fish gate, circling around as far as Ophel. And he raised it up greatly. And he appointed leaders of the army in all the fortified cities of Judah.

E depois disto edificou o muro de fora da cidade de David, ao ocidente de Gihon, no vale, e à entrada da porta do peixe, e à roda, até Ophel, e o levantou mui alto: também pôs oficiais valentes em todas as cidades fortes de Judá.

15 And he took away the foreign gods, and the idol from the house of the Lord, and also the altars which he had made on the mount of the house of the Lord and in Jerusalem. And he cast all these things outside the city.

E tirou da casa do Senhor os deuses estranhos e o ídolo, como também todos os altares que tinha edificado no monte da casa do Senhor, e em Jerusalém, e os lançou fora da cidade.

16 Then he repaired the altar of the Lord, and he immolated upon it victims, and peace offerings, with praise. And he instructed Judah to serve the Lord, the God of Israel.

E reparou o altar do Senhor, e ofereceu sobre ele ofertas pacíficas e de louvor: e mandou a Judá que servissem ao Senhor Deus de Israel.

17 Yet still the people were immolating on the high places, to the Lord their God.

Mas ainda o povo sacrificava nos altos, mas somente ao Senhor seu Deus.

18 But the rest of the deeds of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and also the words of the seers who were speaking to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, are contained in the words of the kings of Israel.

O resto pois dos sucessos de Manasses, e a sua oração ao seu Deus, e as palavras dos videntes que lhe falaram no nome do Senhor, Deus de Israel, eis que estão nos sucessos dos reis de Israel.

19 Also, his prayer and its heeding, and all his sins and contempt, and the sites on which he built high places and made sacred groves and statues, before he repented, have been written in the words of Hozai.

E a sua oração, e como Deus se aplacou para com ele, e todo o seu pecado, e a sua transgressão, e os lugares onde edificou altos, e pôs bosques e imagens de escultura, antes que se humilhasse, eis que está escrito nos livros dos videntes.

20 Then Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house. And his son, Amon, reigned in his place.

E dormiu Manasses com seus pais, e o sepultaram em sua casa; Amon, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.

21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for two years in Jerusalem.

Era Amon de idade de vinte e dois anos, quando começou a reinar, e dois anos reinou em Jerusalém.

22 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his father Manasseh had done. And he immolated to all the idols that Manasseh had fabricated, and he served them.

E fez o que era mal aos olhos do Senhor, como havia feito Manasses, seu pai; porque Amon sacrificou a todas as imagens de escultura que Manasses, seu pai, tinha feito, e as serviu.

23 But he did not turn his face to the Lord, as his father Manasseh had turned himself. And he sinned much more grievously.

Mas não se humilhou perante o Senhor, como Manasses, seu pai, se humilhara: antes multiplicou Amon os seus delitos.

24 And when his servants had conspired against him, they killed him in his own house.

E conspiraram contra ele os seus servos, e o mataram em sua casa.

25 But the rest of the multitude of the people, having slain those who had struck down Amon, appointed his son, Josiah, as king in his place.

Porém o povo da terra feriu a todos quantos conspiraram contra o rei Amon: e o povo da terra fez reinar em seu lugar a Josias, seu filho.
