< 2 Crônicas 20 >

1 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.
It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
2 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.
Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There comes a great multitude against you from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold, they be in Hazazontamar, which is Engedi.
3 Então Josaphat temeu, e poz-se a buscar o Senhor; e apregoou jejum em todo o Judah.
And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
4 E Judah se ajuntou, para pedir soccorro ao Senhor: tambem de todas as cidades de Judah vieram para buscarem ao Senhor.
And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the LORD: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD.
5 E poz-se Josaphat em pé na congregação de Judah e de Jerusalem, na casa do Senhor, diante do pateo novo.
And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court,
6 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.
And said, O LORD God of our fathers, are not you God in heaven? and rule not you over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in your hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand you?
7 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
Are not you our God, who did drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel, and gave it to the seed of Abraham your friend for ever?
8 E habitaram n'ella; e edificaram-te n'ella um sanctuario ao teu nome, dizendo:
And they dwelt therein, and have built you a sanctuary therein for your name, saying,
9 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.
If, when evil comes upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in your presence, (for your name is in this house, ) and cry unto you in our affliction, then you will hear and help.
10 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;
And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom you would not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not;
11 Eis que nos dão o pago, vindo para lançar-nos fóra da tua herança, que nos fizeste herdar.
Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of your possession, which you have given us to inherit.
12 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.
O our God, will you not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that comes against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon you.
13 E todo o Judah estava em pé perante o Senhor, como tambem as suas creanças, as suas mulheres, e os seus filhos.
And all Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
14 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,
Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the LORD in the midst of the congregation;
15 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.
And he said, Hearken all of you, all Judah, and all of you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you king Jehoshaphat, Thus says the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.
16 Ámanhã descereis contra elles; eis que sobem pela ladeira de Zis, e os achareis no fim do valle, diante do deserto de Jeruel.
Tomorrow go all of you down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and all of you shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel.
17 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.
All of you shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand all of you still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.
18 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.
And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD.
19 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.
And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high.
20 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.
And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and all of you inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall all of you be established; believe his prophets, so shall all of you prosper.
21 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.
And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endures for ever.
22 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.
And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.
23 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.
For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.
24 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.
And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.
25 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.
And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.
26 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.
And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.
27 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.
Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
28 E vieram a Jerusalem com alaudes, e com harpas, e com trombetas, para a casa do Senhor.
And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the LORD.
29 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.
And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.
30 E o reino de Josaphat ficou quieto: e o seu Deus lhe deu repouso em redor.
So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.
31 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.
And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
32 E andou no caminho d'Asa, seu pae, e não se desviou d'elle, fazendo o que era recto nos olhos do Senhor.
And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not from it, doing that which was right in the sight of the LORD.
33 Comtudo os altos se não tiraram, porque o povo não tinha ainda preparado o seu coração para com o Deus de seus paes.
Nevertheless the high places were not taken away: for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers.
34 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.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani, who is mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel.
35 Porém depois d'isto Josaphat, rei de Judah, se alliou com Achazias, rei de Israel, que obrou com toda a impiedade.
And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly:
36 E alliou-se com elle, para fazerem navios que fossem a Tharsis: e fizeram os navios em Esion-geber.
And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Eziongaber.
37 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.
Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because you have joined yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has broken your works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
