< 2 Chronicles 20 >

1 After this the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them of the Ammonites, were gathered together to fight against Josaphat.
E succedeu que, depois d'isto, os filhos de Moab, e os filhos d'Ammon, e com elles outros de mais dos ammonitas, vieram á peleja contra Josaphat.
2 And there came messengers, and told Josaphat, saying: There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea, and out of Syria, and behold they are in Asasonthamar, which is Engaddi.
Então vieram alguns que deram aviso a Josaphat, dizendo: Vem contra ti uma grande multidão d'além do mar e da Syria: e eis-que já estão em Hatson-thamar, que é Engedi.
3 And Josaphat being seized with fear betook himself wholly to pray to the Lord, and he proclaimed a fast for all Juda.
Então Josaphat temeu, e poz-se a buscar o Senhor; e apregoou jejum em todo o Judah.
4 And Juda gathered themselves together to pray to the Lord: and all came out of their cities to make supplication to him.
E Judah se ajuntou, para pedir soccorro ao Senhor: tambem de todas as cidades de Judah vieram para buscarem ao Senhor.
5 And Josaphat stood in the midst of the assembly of Juda, and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord before the new court,
E poz-se Josaphat em pé na congregação de Judah e de Jerusalem, na casa do Senhor, diante do pateo novo.
6 And said: O Lord God of our fathers, thou art God in heaven, and rulest over all the kingdoms and nations, in thy hand is strength and power, and no one can resist thee.
E disse: Ah Senhor, Deus de nossos paes, porventura não és tu Deus nos céus? pois tu és Dominador sobre todos os reinos das gentes, e na tua mão ha força e potencia, e não ha quem te possa resistir.
7 Didst not thou our God kill all the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?
Porventura, ó Deus nosso, não lançaste tu fóra os moradores d'esta terra, de diante do teu povo Israel, e a déste á semente d'Abrahão, teu amigo, para sempre
8 And they dwelt in it, and built in it a sanctuary to thy name, saying:
E habitaram n'ella; e edificaram-te n'ella um sanctuario ao teu nome, dizendo:
9 If evils fall upon us, the sword of judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we will stand in thy presence before this house, in which thy name is called upon: and we will cry to thee in our afflictions, and thou wilt hear, and save us.
Se algum mal nos sobrevier, espada, juizo, peste, ou fome, nós nos apresentaremos diante d'esta casa e diante de ti; pois teu nome está n'esta casa; e clamaremos a ti na nossa angustia, e tu nos ouvirás e livrarás.
10 Now therefore behold the children of Ammon, and of Moab, and mount Seir, through whose lands thou didst not allow Israel to pass, when they came out of Egypt, but they turned aside from them, and slew them not,
Agora, pois, eis que os filhos d'Ammon e de Moab, e os das montanhas de Seir, pelos quaes não permittiste passar a Israel, quando vinham da terra do Egypto; mas d'elles se desviaram e não os destruiram;
11 Do the contrary, and endeavour to cast us out of the possession which thou hast delivered to us.
Eis que nos dão o pago, vindo para lançar-nos fóra da tua herança, que nos fizeste herdar.
12 O our God, wilt thou not then judge them? as for us we have not strength enough, to be able to resist this multitude, which cometh violently upon us. But as we know not what to do, we can only turn our eyes to thee.
Ah Deus nosso, porventura não os julgarás? porque em nós não ha 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 Juda stood before the Lord with their little ones, and their wives, and their children.
E todo o Judah estava em pé perante o Senhor, como tambem as suas creanças, as suas mulheres, e os seus filhos.
14 And Jahaziel the son of Zacharias, the son of Banaias, the son of Jehiel, the son of Mathanias, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, was there, upon whom the spirit of the Lord came in the midst of the multitude,
Então veiu o espirito do Senhor, no meio da congregação, sobre Jahaziel, filho de Zacharias, filho de Benaias, filho de Jehiel, filho de Mattanias, levita, dos filhos de Asaf,
15 And he said: Attend ye, all Juda, and you that dwell in Jerusalem, and thou king Josaphat: Thus saith the Lord to you: Fear ye not, and be not dismayed at this multitude: for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
E disse: Dae ouvidos todo o Judah, e vós, moradores de Jerusalem, e tu, ó rei Josaphat: assim o Senhor vos diz: Não temaes, nem vos assusteis por causa d'esta grande multidão; pois a peleja não é vossa, senão de Deus.
16 Tomorrow you shall go down against them: for they will come up by the ascent named Sis, and you shall find them at the head of the torrent, which is over against the wilderness of Jeruel.
Ámanhã descereis contra elles; eis que sobem pela ladeira de Zis, e os achareis no fim do valle, diante do deserto de Jeruel.
17 It shall not be you that shall fight, but only stand with confidence, and you shall see the help of the Lord over you, O Juda, and Jerusalem: fear ye not, nor be you dismayed: tomorrow you shall go out against them, and the Lord will be with you.
N'esta peleja não tereis que pelejar: parae-vos, estae em pé, e vêde a salvação do Senhor para comvosco, ó Judah e Jerusalem; não temaes, nem vos assusteis, ámanhã sahi-lhes ao encontro, porque o Senhor será comvosco.
18 Then Josaphat, and Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell hat on the ground before the Lord, and adored him.
Então Josaphat se prostrou com o rosto em terra: e todo o Judah e os moradores de Jerusalem se lançaram perante o Senhor, adorando ao Senhor.
19 And the Levites of the sons of Caath, and of the sons of Core praised the Lord the God of Israel with a loud voice, on high.
E levantaram-se os levitas, dos filhos dos kohathitas, e dos filhos dos korathitas, para louvarem ao Senhor Deus d'Israel, com grande voz até ao alto.
20 And they rose early in the morning, and went out through the desert of Thecua: and as they were marching, Josaphat standing in the midst of them, said: Hear me, ye men of Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be secure: believe his prophets, and all things shall succeed well.
E pela manhã cedo se levantaram e sairam ao deserto de Tekoa: e, saindo elles, poz-se em pé Josaphat, e disse: Ouvi-me, ó Judah, e vós, moradores de Jerusalem: Crede no Senhor vosso Deus, e estareis seguros; crede nos seus prophetas, e sereis prosperados.
21 And he gave counsel to the people, and appointed the singing men of the Lord, to praise him by their companies, and to go before the army, and with one voice to say: Give glory to the Lord, for his mercy endureth for ever.
E aconselhou-se com o povo, e ordenou cantores para o Senhor, que louvassem a Magestade sancta, saindo diante dos armados, e dizendo: Louvae ao Senhor, porque a sua benignidade dura para sempre.
22 And when they began to sing praises, the Lord turned their ambushments upon themselves, that is to say, of the children of Ammon, and of Moab, and of mount Seir, who were come out to fight against Juda, and they were slain.
E, ao tempo que começaram com jubilo e louvor, o Senhor poz emboscadas contra os filhos d'Ammon e de Moab, e os das montanhas de Seir, que vieram contra Judah e foram desbaratados.
23 For the children of Ammon, and of Moab, rose up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, to kill and destroy them: and when they had made an end of them, they turned also against one another, and destroyed one another.
Porque os filhos d'Ammon e de Moab se levantaram contra os moradores das montanhas de Seir, para os destruir e exterminar: e, acabando elles com os moradores de Seir, ajudaram uns aos outros a destruir-se.
24 And when Juda came to the watch tower, that looketh toward the desert, they saw afar off all the country, for a great space, full of dead bodies, and that no one was left that could escape death.
Entretanto chegou Judah á atalaia do deserto: e olharam para a multidão, e eis que eram corpos mortos, que jaziam em terra, e nenhum escapou.
25 Then Josaphat came, and all the people with him to take away the spoils of the dead, and they found among the dead bodies, stuff of various kinds, and garments, and most precious vessels: and they took them for themselves, insomuch that they could not carry all, nor in three days take away the spoils, the booty was so great.
E vieram Josaphat e o seu povo para saquear os seus despojos, e acharam n'elles fazenda e cadaveres em abundancia, assim como vasos preciosos, e tomaram para si tanto, que não podiam levar mais: e tres dias saquearam o despojo, porque era muito.
26 And on the fourth day they were assembled in the valley of Blessing: for there they blessed the Lord, and therefore they called that place the valley of Blessing until this day.
E ao quarto dia se ajuntaram no valle de Beracha; porque ali louvaram o Senhor: por isso chamaram o nome d'aquelle logar o valle de Beracha, até ao dia d'hoje.
27 And every man of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem returned, and Josaphat at their head, into Jerusalem with great joy, because the Lord had made them rejoice over their enemies.
Então voltaram todos os homens de Judah e de Jerusalem, e Josaphat á frente d'elles, para virem a Jerusalem com alegria: porque o Senhor os alegrara ácerca dos seus inimigos.
28 And they came into Jerusalem with psalteries, and harps, and trumpets into the house of the Lord.
E vieram a Jerusalem com alaudes, e com harpas, e com trombetas, para a casa do Senhor.
29 And the fear of the Lord fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel.
E veiu o temor de Deus sobre todos os reinos d'aquellas terras, ouvindo elles que o Senhor havia pelejado contra os inimigos d'Israel.
30 And the kingdom of Josaphat was quiet, and God gave him peace round about.
E o reino de Josaphat ficou quieto: e o seu Deus lhe deu repouso em redor.
31 And Josaphat reigned over Juda, and he was five and thirty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned five and twenty years in Jerusalem: and the name of his mother was Azuba the daughter of Selahi.
E Josaphat reinou sobre Judah: era da edade de trinta e cinco annos quando começou a reinar e vinte e cinco annos reinou em Jerusalem; e era o nome de sua mãe, Azuba, filha de Silhi.
32 And he walked in the way of his father Asa, and departed not from it, doing the things that were pleasing before the Lord.
E andou no caminho d'Asa, seu pae, e não se desviou d'elle, fazendo o que era recto nos olhos do Senhor.
33 But yet he took not away the high places, and the people had not yet turned their heart to the Lord the God of their fathers.
Comtudo os altos se não tiraram, porque o povo não tinha ainda preparado o seu coração para com o Deus de seus paes.
34 But the rest of the acts of Josaphat, first and last, are written in the words of Jehu the son of Hanani, which he digested into the books of the kings of Israel.
Ora o resto dos successos de Josaphat, assim primeiros, como ultimos, eis que está escripto nas notas de Jehu, filho de Hanani, que lhe fizeram apontar no livro dos reis de Israel.
35 After these things Josaphat king of Juda made friendship with Ochozias king of Israel, whose works were very wicked.
Porém depois d'isto Josaphat, rei de Judah, se alliou com Achazias, rei de Israel, que obrou com toda a impiedade.
36 And he was partner with him in making ships, to go to Tharsis: and they made the ships in Asiongaber.
E alliou-se com elle, para fazerem navios que fossem a Tharsis: e fizeram os navios em Esion-geber.
37 And Eliezer the son of Dodau of Maresa prophesied to Josaphat, saying: Because thou hast made a league with Ochozias, the Lord hath destroyed thy works, and the ships are broken, and they could not go to Tharsis.
Porém Eliezer, filho de Dodava, de Maresa, prophetizou contra Josaphat, dizendo: Porquanto te alliaste com Achazias, o Senhor despedaçou as tuas obras. E os navios se quebraram, e não poderam ir a Tharsis.
