2 Crônicas 28
1 De vinte anos era Acaz quando começou a reinar, e dezesseis anos reinou em Jerusalém: mas não fez o que era correto aos olhos do SENHOR, como Davi seu pai.
Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, as David his ancestor had done.
2 Antes andou nos caminhos dos reis de Israel, e ademais fez imagens de fundição aos baalins.
Instead, he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel; he also made cast metal figures for the Baals.
3 Queimou também incenso no vale dos filhos de Hinom, e queimou seus filhos por fogo, conforme as abominações das nações que o SENHOR havia lançado diante dos filhos de Israel.
In addition, he burned incense in the Valley of Ben Hinnom and he caused his children to pass through the fire, according to the idolatrous practices of the people that Yahweh forced out of their land before the people of Israel.
4 Assim sacrificou e queimou incenso nos altos, e nas colinas, e debaixo de toda árvores espessa.
He sacrificed and burned incense at the high places and on the hills and under every green tree.
5 Pelo qual o SENHOR seu Deus o entregou em mãos do rei dos sírios, os quais lhe derrotaram, e tomaram dele uma grande presa, que levaram a Damasco. Foi também entregue em mãos do rei de Israel, o qual o derrotou com grande mortandade.
Therefore Yahweh the God of Ahaz gave him into the hand of the king of Aram. The Arameans defeated him and carried away from him a great crowd of prisoners, bringing them to Damascus. Ahaz was also given into the hand of the king of Israel who defeated him in a great slaughter.
6 Porque Peca, filho de Remalias matou em Judá em um dia cento e vinte mil, todos eles homens valentes; porquanto haviam deixado ao SENHOR o Deus de seus pais.
For Pekah son of Remaliah in one day killed 120,000 soldiers in Judah and all of them were powerful men, because they had forsaken Yahweh the God of their ancestors.
7 Assim Zicri, homem poderoso de Efraim, matou a Maaseias filho do rei, e a Azricão seu mordomo, e a Elcana, segundo depois do rei.
Zicri, a powerful man from Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king's son, Azrikam, the official over the palace, and Elkanah, who was next to the king.
8 Tomaram também cativos os filhos de Israel de seus irmãos duzentos mil, mulheres, meninos, e meninas, a mais de haver saqueado deles um grande despojo, o qual trouxeram a Samaria.
The army of Israel took captive from their relatives 200,000 wives, sons, and daughters. They also took much plunder, which they carried back to Samaria.
9 Havia então ali um profeta do SENHOR, que se chamava Obede, o qual saiu diante do exército quando entrava em Samaria, e disse-lhes: Eis que o SENHOR o Deus de vossos pais, pela ira contra Judá, os entregou em vossas mãos; e vós os
But a prophet of Yahweh was there, his name was Oded. He went out to meet the army coming into Samaria. He said to them, “Because Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, was angry with Judah, he gave them into your hand. But you have slaughtered them in a rage that reached up to heaven.
10 E agora haveis determinado sujeitar a vós a Judá e a Jerusalém por servos e servas: mas não haveis vós pecado contra o SENHOR vosso Deus?
Now you intend to keep the men and women of Judah and Jerusalem as your slaves. But are you not guilty of sins of your own against Yahweh your God?
11 Ouvi-me, pois, agora, e voltai a enviar os cativos que haveis tomado de vossos irmãos: porque o SENHOR está irado contra vós.
Now then, listen to me: Send the prisoners back, those whom you have taken of your own brothers, for Yahweh's fierce wrath is on you.”
12 Levantaram-se então alguns homens dos principais dos filhos de Efraim, Azarias filho de Joanã, e Berequias filho de Mesilemote, e Jeizquias filho de Salum, e Amasa filho de Hadlai, contra os que vinham da guerra.
Then certain leaders of the people of Ephraim—Azariah son of Jehohanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai, stood up against those who came back from the war.
13 E disseram-lhes: Não metais aqui os cativos; porque o pecado contra o SENHOR será sobre nós. Vós tratais de acrescentar sobre nossos pecados e sobre nossas culpas, sendo suficientemente grande nosso delito, e a ira do furor sobre Israel.
They said to them, “You must not bring the prisoners here, for you intend something that will bring on us sin against Yahweh, to add to our sins and trespasses, for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.”
14 Então o exército deixou os cativos e a presa diante dos príncipes e de toda a multidão.
So the armed men left the prisoners and the plunder before the leaders and all the assembly.
15 E levantaram-se os homens nomeados, e tomaram os cativos, e vestiram do despojo aos que deles estavam nus; vestiram-nos e calçaram-nos, e deram-lhes de comer e de beber, e ungiram-nos, e conduziram em asnos a todos os fracos, e levaram-nos até Jericó, cidade das palmeiras, próxima de seus irmãos; e eles voltaram a Samaria.
The men who were assigned by name got up and took the prisoners, and clothed all who were naked among them with the plunder. They clothed them and gave them sandals. They gave them food to eat and drink. They treated their wounds and put the weak ones on donkeys. They took them back to their families in Jericho, (called the City of Palms). Then they returned to Samaria.
16 Naquele tempo enviou a pedir o rei Acaz aos reis de Assíria que lhe ajudassem:
At that time King Ahaz sent messengers to the kings of Assyria to ask them to help him.
17 Porque a mais disto, os edomitas haviam vindo e ferido aos de Judá, e haviam levado cativos.
For once again the Edomites had come and attacked Judah, carrying prisoners away.
18 Assim os filisteus haviam invadido as cidades da planície, e ao sul de Judá, e haviam tomado a Bete-Semes, a Aijalom, Gederote, e Socó com suas aldeias, Timna também com suas aldeias, e Ginzo com suas aldeias; e habitavam nelas.
The Philistines also invaded the cities of the lowlands and of the Negev of Judah. They took Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soko with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and also Gimzo with its villages. They went to live in those places.
19 Porque o SENHOR havia humilhado a Judá por causa de Acaz rei de Israel: porquanto ele havia desnudado a Judá, e rebelado-se gravemente contra o SENHOR.
For Yahweh brought Judah low because of Ahaz, king of Israel; for he had acted wickedly in Judah and had sinned against Yahweh very heavily.
20 E veio contra ele Tiglate-Pileser, rei dos assírios: pois o oprimiu, e não o fortificou.
Tiglath-Pileser, king of Assyria, came to him and troubled him instead of strengthening him.
21 Ainda que Acaz tenha despojado a casa do SENHOR, e a casa real, e as dos príncipes, para dar ao rei dos assírios, contudo isso ele não lhe ajudou.
For Ahaz plundered the house of Yahweh and the houses of the king and the leaders, to give the valuable things to the kings of Assyria. But doing this did not benefit him.
22 Ademais o rei Acaz no tempo que aquele lhe afligia-se, acrescentou transgressão contra o SENHOR;
This same King Ahaz sinned even more against Yahweh in his time of suffering.
23 Porque sacrificou aos deuses de Damasco que lhe haviam ferido, e disse: Pois que os deuses dos reis da Síria lhes ajudam, eu também sacrificarei a eles para que me ajudem; bem que foram estes sua ruína, e a de todo Israel.
For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, gods that had defeated him. He said, “Because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, I will sacrifice to them, so that they might help me.” But they were the ruin of him and of all Israel.
24 A mais disso recolheu Acaz os vasos da casa de Deus, e quebrou-os, e fechou as portas da casa do SENHOR, e fez-se altares em Jerusalém em todos os cantos.
Ahaz gathered together the furnishings of the house of God and cut them to pieces. He shut the doors of the house of Yahweh and he made for himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
25 Fez também altos em todas as cidades de Judá, para queimar incenso aos deuses alheios, provocando assim a ira ao SENHOR o Deus de seus pais.
In every city of Judah he made high places to burn sacrifices to other gods. He provoked Yahweh, the God of his ancestors, to anger.
26 Os demais de seus feitos, e todos seus caminhos, primeiros e últimos, eis que estão escrito no livro dos reis de Judá e de Israel.
Now the rest of his deeds, and all his ways, first and last, see, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
27 E descansou Acaz com seus pais, e sepultaram-no na cidade de Jerusalém: mas não lhe meteram nos sepulcros dos reis de Israel; e reinou em seu lugar Ezequias seu filho.
Ahaz slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem, but they did not bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel. Hezekiah, his son, became king in his place.
