2 Crônicas 13

1 Aos dezoito anos do rei Jeroboão, reinou Abias sobre Judá.

In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, Abia reigned over Juda.

2 E reinou três anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe foi Micaia filha de Uriel de Gibeá. E havia guerra entre Abias e Jeroboão.

Three years he reigned in Jerusalem, and his mother’s name was Michaia, the daughter of Uriel of Gabaa: and there was war between Abia and Jeroboam.

3 Então ordenou Abias batalha com um exército de quatrocentos mil homens de guerra valentes e escolhidos: e Jeroboão ordenou batalha contra ele com oitocentos mil homens escolhidos, fortes e valentes.

And when Abia had begun battle, and had with him four hundred thousand most valiant and chosen men, Jeroboam put his army in array against him, eight hundred thousand men, who were also chosen and most valiant for war.

4 E levantou-se Abias sobre o monte de Zemaraim, que é nos montes de Efraim, e disse: Ouvi-me, Jeroboão e todo Israel.

And Abia stood upon mount Semeron, which was in Ephraim, and said: Hear me, O Jeroboam, and all Israel:

5 Não sabeis vós, que o SENHOR Deus de Israel deu o reino a Davi sobre Israel para sempre, a ele e a seus filhos em aliança de sal?

Do you not know that the Lord God of Israel gave to David the kingdom over Israel for ever, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?

6 Porém Jeroboão filho de Nebate, servo de Salomão filho de Davi, se levantou e rebelou contra seu senhor.

And Jeroboam the son of Nabat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up: and rebelled against his lord.

7 E se achegaram a ele homens vãos, filhos de iniquidade, e puderam mais que Roboão filho de Salomão, porque Roboão era jovem e tenro de coração, e não se defendeu deles.

And there were gathered to him vain men, and children of Belial: and they prevailed against Roboam the son of Solomon: for Roboam was unexperienced, and of a fearful heart, and could not resist them.

8 E agora vós tratais de fortificar-vos contra o reino do SENHOR em mão dos filhos de Davi, porque sois muitos, e tendes convosco os bezerros de ouro que Jeroboão vos fez por deuses.

And now you say that you are able to withstand the kingdom of the Lord, which he possesseth by the sons of David, and you have a great multitude of people, and golden calves, which Jeroboam hath made you for gods.

9 Não lançastes vós aos sacerdotes do SENHOR, aos filhos de Arão, e aos levitas, e vos haveis feito sacerdotes à maneira dos povos de outras terras, para que qualquer um venha a consagrar-se com um bezerro e sete carneiros, e assim seja sacerdote dos que não são Deuses?

And you have cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites: and you have made you priests, like all the nations of the earth: whosoever cometh and consecrateth his hand with a bullock of the herd, and with seven rams, is made a priest of those who are no gods.

10 Mas em quanto a nós, o SENHOR é nosso Deus, e não lhe deixamos: e os sacerdotes que ministram ao SENHOR são os filhos de Arão, e os levitas na obra;

But the Lord is our God, whom we forsake not, and the priests who minister to the Lord are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites are in their order.

11 Os quais queimam ao SENHOR os holocaustos cada manhã e cada tarde, e os perfumes aromáticos; e põem os pães sobre a mesa limpa, e o candelabro de ouro com suas lâmpadas para que ardam cada tarde: porque nós guardamos a ordenança do SENHOR nosso Deus; mas vós o deixastes.

And they offer holocausts to the Lord, every day, morning and evening, and incense made according to the ordinance of the law, and the leaves are set forth on a most clean table, and there is with us the golden candlestick, and the lamps thereof, to be lighted always in the evening: for we keep the precepts of the Lord our God, whom you have forsaken.

12 E eis que Deus está conosco por cabeça, e seus sacerdotes com as trombetas do júbilo para que soem contra vós. Ó filhos de Israel, não luteis contra o SENHOR o Deus de vossos pais, porque não vos sucederá bem.

Therefore God is the leader in our army, and his priests who sound with trumpets, and resound against you: O children of Israel, fight not against the Lord the God of your fathers, for it is not good for you.

13 Porém Jeroboão preparou uma emboscada para vir a eles pela retaguarda: e estando assim diante deles, a emboscada estava à retaguarda de Judá.

While he spoke these things, Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind him. And while he stood facing the enemies, he encompassed Juda. who perceived it not, with his army.

14 E quando olhou Judá, eis que tinha batalha diante e às costas; por isso que clamaram ao SENHOR, e os sacerdotes tocaram as trombetas.

And when Juda looked back, they saw the battle coming upon them both before and behind, and they cried to the Lord: and the priests began to sound with the trumpets.

15 Então os de Judá levantaram grito; e assim que eles levantaram grito, Deus derrotou a Jeroboão e a todo Israel diante de Abias e de Judá:

And all the men of Juda shouted: and behold when they shouted, God terrified Jeroboam, and all Israel that stood against Abia and Juda.

16 E fugiram os filhos de Israel diante de Judá, e Deus os entregou em suas mãos.

And the children of Israel fled before Juda, and the Lord delivered them into their hand.

17 E Abias e sua gente faziam em eles grande mortandade; e caíram feridos de Israel quinhentos mil homens escolhidos.

And Abia and his people slew them with a great slaughter, and there fell wounded of Israel five hundred thousand valiant men.

18 Assim foram humilhados os filhos de Israel naquele tempo: mas os filhos de Judá se fortificaram, porque se apoiavam no SENHOR o Deus de seus pais.

And the children of Israel were brought down, at that time, and the children of Juda were exceedingly strengthened, because they had trusted in the Lord the God of their fathers.

19 E seguiu Abias a Jeroboão, e tomou-lhe algumas cidades, a Betel com suas aldeias, a Jesana com suas aldeias, e a Efraim com suas aldeias.

And Abia pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel and her daughters, and Jesana with her daughters, Ephron also and her daughters.

20 E nunca mais teve Jeroboão poderio nos dias de Abias: e feriu-lhe o SENHOR, e morreu.

And Jeroboam was not able to resist any more, in the days of Abia: and the Lord struck him, and he died.

21 Porém se fortificou Abias; e tomou catorze mulheres, e gerou vinte e dois filhos, e dezesseis filhas.

But Abia, being strengthened in his kingdom, took fourteen wives: and begot two and twenty sons, and sixteen daughters.

22 Os demais feitos de Abias, seus caminhos e seus negócios, estão escritos na história do profeta Ido.

And the rest of the acts of Abia, and of his ways and works, are written diligently in the book of Addo the prophet.
