2 Crônicas 16
1 No ano trinta e seis do reinado de Asa, subiu Baasa rei de Israel contra Judá, e edificou a Ramá, para não deixar sair nem entrar a ninguém ao rei Asa, rei de Judá.
In the thirty-sixth year of Asa's reign, Baasha, king of Israel, acted aggressively against Judah and built up Ramah, so that he might not allow anyone to leave or enter into the land of Asa, king of Judah.
2 Então tirou Asa a prata e o ouro dos tesouros da casa do SENHOR e da casa real, e enviou a Ben-Hadade rei da Síria, que estava em Damasco, dizendo:
Then Asa brought the silver and gold out of the storerooms in the house of Yahweh and of the king's house, and sent it to Ben Hadad king of Aram, who lived in Damascus. He said,
3 Haja aliança entre mim e ti, como a havia entre meu pai e teu pai; eis que eu te enviei prata e ouro, para que venhas e desfaças a aliança que tens com Baasa rei de Israel, a fim de que se retire de mim.
“Let there be a covenant between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Look, I have sent to you silver and gold. Break your covenant with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he may leave me alone.”
4 E consentiu Ben-Hadade com o rei Asa, e enviou os capitães de seus exércitos à cidades de Israel: e atacaram a Ijom, Dã, e Abel-Maim, e as cidades fortes de Naftali.
Ben Hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel. They attacked Ijon, Dan, Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali.
5 E ouvindo isto Baasa, cessou de edificar a Ramá, e deixou sua obra.
It came about that when Baasha heard this, he stopped building up Ramah, and let his work cease.
6 Então o rei Asa tomou a todo Judá, e levaram-se de Ramá a pedra e madeira com que Baasa edificava, e com ela edificou a Geba e Mispá.
Then Asa the king took all Judah with him. They carried away the stones and timbers of Ramah with which Baasha had been building up the city. Then King Asa used that building material to build up Geba and Mizpah.
7 Naquele tempo veio Hanani vidente a Asa rei de Judá, e disse-lhe: Por quanto te apoiaste no rei de Síria, e não te apoiaste no SENHOR teu Deus, por isso o exército do rei da Síria escapou de tuas mãos.
At that time Hanani the seer went to Asa, king of Judah, and said to him, “Because you have relied on the king of Aram, and have not relied on Yahweh your God, the army of the king of Aram has escaped out of your hand.
8 Os etíopes e os líbios, não eram um exército numerosíssimo, com carros e muitos cavaleiros? Contudo, porque te apoiaste no SENHOR, ele os entregou em tuas mãos.
Were not the Cushites and the Libyans a huge army, with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet, because you relied on Yahweh, he gave you victory over them.
9 Porque os olhos do SENHOR contemplam toda a terra, para corroborar aos que têm coração íntegro com ele. Loucamente fizeste nisso; porque de agora em diante haverá guerra contra ti.
For the eyes of Yahweh run everywhere throughout the whole earth, so that he might show himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are perfect toward him. But you have acted foolishly in this matter. From now on, you will have war.”
10 E irou-se Asa contra o vidente, lançou-o na casa do cárcere, porque foi em extremo incomodado por causa disto. E oprimiu Asa naquele tempo alguns do povo.
Then Asa was angry with the seer; he put him into prison, for he was angry with him over this matter. At the same time, Asa oppressed some of the people.
11 Mas eis que, os feitos de Asa, primeiros e últimos, estão escritos no livro dos reis de Judá e de Israel.
Behold, the deeds of Asa, from first to last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
12 E o ano trinta e nove de seu reinado enfermou Asa dos pés para acima, e em sua enfermidade não buscou ao SENHOR, mas sim aos médicos.
In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa was afflicted with a disease in his feet. Though his disease was very severe, he did not seek help from Yahweh, but only from the physicians.
13 E descansou Asa com seus pais, e morreu no ano quarenta e um de seu reinado.
So Asa slept with his ancestors, dying in the forty-first year of his reign.
14 E sepultaram-no em seus sepulcros que ele havia feito para si na cidade de Davi; e puseram-no em uma cama, a qual encheram de aromas e artefatos com fragrâncias, preparadas por perfumistas; e fizeram uma grande fogueira em sua homenagem.
They buried him in his own tomb, which he had dug out for himself in the city of David. They laid him on a bier that was filled with sweet odors and various kinds of spices prepared by skilled perfumers. Then they made a very great fire in his honor.
