2 Chronicles 33
1 Manasseh was 12 years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled from Jerusalem for 55 years.
Tinha Manasses doze anos de idade, quando começou a reinar, e cincoênta e cinco anos reinou em Jerusalém.
2 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He imitated the disgusting things that were formerly done by the people-groups that Yahweh had expelled from Israel as his people advanced [though the land].
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 He commanded his workers to rebuild the shrines [for worshiping idols] that his father Hezekiah had destroyed. He told them to set up altars to [honor] the statues of Baal, and to make altars to [honor the goddess] Asherah. He bowed down to [worship] all the stars.
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 He directed his workers to build altars [for foreign gods] in the temple, about which Yahweh had said, “It is here in Jerusalem that I want people to worship me, forever.”
E edificou altares na casa do Senhor, da qual o Senhor tinha dito: Em Jerusalém estará o meu nome eternamente.
5 He directed that altars for [worshiping] all the stars be built in both of the courtyards outside the temple.
Edificou altares a todo o exército dos céus, em ambos os pátios da casa do Senhor.
6 He even sacrificed [some of] his own sons and burned them in a fire in Hinnom Valley. He performed rituals to practice sorcery. He asked fortune-tellers for advice. He performed witchcraft. He talked to people who consulted the spirits of people who had died to find out what would happen in the future. He did many things that Yahweh considered o be very evil, things that caused Yahweh to become very angry.
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 Manasseh took a carved idol [that his workers had made] and put it in the temple. That is the temple concerning which God had said to David and to his son Solomon, “My temple will be here in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen [where I want people to] worship me, 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 If they will obey all the laws and decrees and regulations that I told Moses to give to them, I will not again force the Israeli people to leave this land that I gave to their ancestors.”
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 But Manasseh led the people of Jerusalem and other places in Judah to do things that are wrong, with the result that they did more evil than was done by the people in the people-groups that Yahweh had expelled as the Israeli people advanced [through the land].
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 Yahweh spoke to Manasseh and the people of Judah, but they paid no attention.
E falou o Senhor a Manasses e ao seu povo, porém não deram ouvidos.
11 So Yahweh caused the army commanders of Assyria [and their soldiers] to [come to Jerusalem, and they] captured Manasseh. They put a hook in his nose and put bronze chains on his [feet] and took him 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 There, while he was suffering, he humbled himself greatly in the presence of Yahweh, the God whom his ancestors [worshiped], and pleaded with Yahweh to help him.
E ele, angustiado, orou deveras ao Senhor seu Deus, e humilhou-se muito perante o Deus de seus pais;
13 When he prayed, Yahweh heard him and pitied him. So he [allowed him to] return to Jerusalem and [to] rule his kingdom again. Then Manasseh realized that Yahweh is [an all-powerful] 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 Later, Manasseh’s [workers] rebuilt the eastern section of the outer wall around Jerusalem, and [they] made it higher. That section extended from Gihon Spring [north] to the Fish Gate, and around the part of the city that they called Ophel [Hill]. Manasseh also appointed army officers to guard each of the cities in Judah that had walls around them.
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 Manasseh’s [workers] removed from the temple the idols and the stone statues of gods of other nations. Manasseh also [told them to] remove the altars that they had previously built on Zion Hill and in [other places in] Jerusalem. He had all those things thrown out of 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 [told them to] repair the altar of Yahweh, and he offered sacrifices to restore fellowship with Yahweh and to thank him. And he told [the people of] Judah that they must worship [only] Yahweh.
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 The people continued to offer sacrifices on the hilltops, but only to Yahweh their God.
Mas ainda o povo sacrificava nos altos, mas somente ao Senhor seu Deus.
18 The other things that happened while Manasseh was ruling, including his prayer to God and the messages from Yahweh that the prophets gave to him, are written in the scroll called ‘The History 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 What Manasseh prayed and how God pitied him because he pleaded to God, and also his sins and ways in which he disobeyed God, and the [list of] places where he built shrines and set up poles to [honor the goddess] Asherah and other idols [before he humbled himself], are written in what the prophets wrote.
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 Manasseh died and was buried in his palace. Then his son Amon became the king [of Judah].
E dormiu Manasses com seus pais, e o sepultaram em sua casa; Amon, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
21 Amon was 22 years old when he became king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for two years.
Era Amon de idade de vinte e dois anos, quando começou a reinar, e dois anos reinou em Jerusalém.
22 He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like his father Manasseh had done. Amon worshiped all the idols that Manasseh’s [workers] had made.
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 humble himself and turn to Yahweh like his father did. So he became more sinful than his father had been.
Mas não se humilhou perante o Senhor, como Manasses, seu pai, se humilhara: antes multiplicou Amon os seus delitos.
24 Then Amon’s officials made plans to kill him. They assassinated him in his palace.
E conspiraram contra ele os seus servos, e o mataram em sua casa.
25 But then the people of Judah killed all those who had assassinated Amon, and they appointed his son Josiah to be their king.
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.
