2 Kings 16

1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign.

No anno dezesete de Peka, filho de Remalias, começou a reinar Achaz, filho de Jothão, rei de Judah.

2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do that which was right in the LORD his God’s eyes, like David his father.

Tinha Achaz vinte annos de edade quando começou a reinar, e reinou dezeseis annos em Jerusalem, e não fez o que era recto aos olhos do Senhor seu Deus, como David, seu pae.

3 But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and even made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel.

Porque andou no caminho dos reis de Israel: e até a seu filho fez passar pelo fogo, segundo as abominações dos gentios que o Senhor lançára fóra de diante dos filhos de Israel.

4 He sacrificed and burned incense in the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.

Tambem sacrificou, e queimou incenso nos altos e nos outeiros, como tambem debaixo de todo o arvoredo.

5 Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to wage war. They besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him.

Então subiu Resin, rei da Syria, com Peka, filho de Remalias, rei de Israel, a Jerusalem, á peleja; e cercaram a Achaz, porém não o poderam vencer.

6 At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drove the Jews from Elath; and the Syrians came to Elath, and lived there to this day.

N'aquelle mesmo tempo Resin, rei da Syria, restituiu Elath á Syria, e lançou fóra de Elath os judeus: e os syros vieram a Elath, e habitaram ali até ao dia d'hoje.

7 So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. Come up and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who rise up against me.”

E Achaz enviou mensageiros a Tiglath-pileser, rei da Assyria, dizendo: Eu sou teu servo e teu filho; sobe, e livra-me das mãos do rei da Syria, e das mãos do rei de Israel, que se levantam contra mim.

8 Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the LORD’s house, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria.

E tomou Achaz a prata e o oiro que se achou na casa do Senhor e nos thesouros da casa do rei, e mandou um presente ao rei da Assyria.

9 The king of Assyria listened to him; and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus and took it, and carried its people captive to Kir, and killed Rezin.

E o rei da Assyria lhe deu ouvidos; pois o rei da Assyria subiu contra Damasco, e tomou-a, e levou-os presos a Kir, e matou a Resin.

10 King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, and saw the altar that was at Damascus; and King Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest a drawing of the altar and plans to build it.

Então o rei Achaz foi a Damasco, a encontrar-se com Tiglath-pileser, rei da Assyria, e, vendo um altar que estava em Damasco, o rei Achaz enviou ao sacerdote Urias a similhança do altar, e o modelo, conforme toda a sua feição.

11 Urijah the priest built an altar. According to all that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so Urijah the priest made it for the coming of King Ahaz from Damascus.

E Urias, o sacerdote, edificou um altar conforme tudo o que o rei Achaz tinha ordenado de Damasco; assim o fez o sacerdote Urias, entretanto que o rei Achaz viesse de Damasco.

12 When the king had come from Damascus, the king saw the altar; and the king came near to the altar, and offered on it.

Vindo pois o rei de Damasco, o rei viu o altar; e o rei se chegou ao altar, e sacrificou n'elle.

13 He burned his burnt offering and his meal offering, poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings on the altar.

E queimou o seu holocausto, e a sua offerta de manjares, e derramou a sua libação: e espargiu o sangue dos seus sacrificios pacificos n'aquelle altar.

14 The bronze altar, which was before the LORD, he brought from the front of the house, from between his altar and the LORD’s house, and put it on the north side of his altar.

Porém o altar de cobre, que estava perante o Senhor, tirou de diante da casa, de entre o seu altar e a casa do Senhor, e pôl-o ao lado do seu altar, da banda do norte.

15 King Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, “On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, the evening meal offering, the king’s burnt offering and his meal offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, their meal offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice; but the bronze altar will be for me to inquire by.”

E o rei Achaz mandou a Urias o sacerdote, dizendo: No grande altar queima o holocausto de pela manhã, como tambem a offerta de manjares de noite, e o holocausto do rei, e a sua offerta de manjares, e o holocausto de todo o povo da terra, a sua offerta de manjares, e as suas offertas de bebida e todo o sangue dos holocaustos, e todo o sangue dos sacrificios espargirás n'elle; porém o altar de cobre será para mim, para inquirir d'elle.

16 Urijah the priest did so, according to all that King Ahaz commanded.

E fez Urias, o sacerdote, conforme tudo quanto o rei Achaz lhe ordenara.

17 King Ahaz cut off the panels of the bases, and removed the basin from off them, and took down the sea from off the bronze oxen that were under it, and put it on a pavement of stone.

E o rei Achaz cortou as cintas das bases, e de cima d'ellas tomou a pia, e o mar tirou de sobre os bois de cobre, que estavam debaixo d'elle, e pôl-o sobre um soalho de pedra.

18 He removed the covered way for the Sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king’s outer entrance to the LORD’s house, because of the king of Assyria.

Tambem a coberta do sabbado, que edificaram na casa, e a entrada de fóra do rei, retirou da casa do Senhor, por causa do rei da Assyria.

19 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

Ora o mais dos successos de Achaz, e o que fez, porventura não está escripto no livro das chronicas dos reis de Judah?

20 Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.

E dormiu Achaz com seus paes, e foi sepultado junto a seus paes, na cidade de David: e Ezequias, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.
