2 Crônicas 25

1 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.

Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.

2 E fez o que era recto aos olhos do Senhor, porém não com coração inteiro.

He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, but not with a whole heart.

3 Succedeu pois que, sendo-lhe o reino já confirmado, matou a seus servos que feriram o rei seu pae;

It came about that as soon as his rule was well established, he killed the servants who had murdered his father, the king.

4 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

But he did not put the children of the murderers to death, but acted according to what was written in the law, in the Book of Moses, as Yahweh had commanded, “The fathers must not die for the children, nor must the children die for the fathers. Instead, every person must die for his own sin.”

5 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.

Moreover, Amaziah gathered Judah together, and registered them by their ancestors' houses, under commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—all of Judah and Benjamin. He numbered them from twenty years old and upward, and found them to be 300,000 chosen men, able to go to war, who could handle spear and shield.

6 Tambem d'Israel tomou a soldo cem mil varões valentes, por cem talentos de prata.

He hired also 100,000 fighting men from Israel for one hundred talents of silver.

7 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.

But a man of God came to him and said, “King, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for Yahweh is not with Israel—none of the people of Ephraim.

8 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

But even if you do go and are courageous and strong in battle, God will throw you down before the enemy, for God has power to help, and power to throw down.”

9 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.

Amaziah said to the man of God, “But what will we do about the one hundred talents that I have given to the army of Israel?” The man of God answered, “Yahweh is able to give you much more than that.”

10 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.

So Amaziah separated the army that had come to him from Ephraim; he sent them home again. So their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger.

11 Esforçou-se pois Amasias, e conduziu o seu povo, e foi-se ao valle do sal; e feriu dos filhos de Seir dez mil.

Amaziah took courage and led his people to go out to the Valley of Salt; there he defeated ten thousand men of Seir.

12 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.

The army of Judah carried away alive another ten thousand. They took them to the top of the cliff and threw them down from there, so that they were all broken in pieces.

13 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.

But the men of the army which Amaziah sent back, so that they should not go with him to battle, attacked the cities of Judah from Samaria to Beth Horon. They struck down three thousand of the people and took much plunder.

14 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.

Now it came about, after that Amaziah had returned from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the people of Seir, and set them up to be his own gods. He bowed down before them and burned incense to them.

15 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?

So Yahweh's anger was kindled against Amaziah. He sent a prophet to him, who said, “Why have you sought after the gods of a people who did not even save their own people from your hand?”

16 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.

It came about that as the prophet was speaking with him, the king said to him, “Have we made you an advisor to the king? Stop! Why should you be killed?” Then the prophet stopped and said, “I know that God has decided to destroy you because you have done this deed and have not listened to my advice.”

17 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.

Then Amaziah king of Judah consulted with advisors and sent messengers to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us meet each other face to face in battle.”

18 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.

But Jehoash the king of Israel sent messengers back to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “A thistle that was in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, 'Give your daughter to my son for a wife,' but a wild beast in Lebanon walked by and trampled down the thistle.

19 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?

You have said, 'See, I have struck down Edom,' and your heart has lifted you up. Take pride in your victory, but stay at home, for why should you cause yourself trouble and fall, both you and Judah with you?”

20 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.

But Amaziah would not listen, because this event was from God, so he might put the people of Judah into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought advice from the gods of Edom.

21 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.

So Jehoash, king of Israel, attacked; he and Amaziah, king of Judah, met each other face to face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.

22 E Judah foi ferido diante d'Israel: e foram-se cada um para as suas tendas.

Judah was struck down before Israel, and every man fled home.

23 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.

Jehoash, king of Israel, captured Amaziah son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, at Beth Shemesh. He brought him to Jerusalem and tore down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits in distance.

24 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.

He took all the gold and silver, all the objects that were found in the house of God with Obed Edom, and the valuable things in the king's house, with hostages also, and returned to Samaria.

25 E viveu Amasias, filho de Joás, rei de Judah, depois da morte de Joás, filho de Joachaz, rei d'Israel, quinze annos.

Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, lived fifteen years after the death of Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.

26 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?

As for the other matters concerning Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?

27 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.

Now from the time that Amaziah turned away from following Yahweh, they began to make a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. He fled to Lachish, but they sent men after him to Lachish and killed him there.

28 E o trouxeram sobre cavallos e o sepultaram com seus paes na cidade de Judah.

They brought him back on horses and buried him with his ancestors in the city of Judah.
