2 Chronicles 16
1 In the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.
No ano trigésimo sexto do reinado d'Asa, Baása, rei de Israel, subiu contra Judá e edificou a Rama, para ninguém deixar sair nem entrar a Asa, rei de Judá.
2 So Asa withdrew the silver and gold from the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he sent it with this message to Ben-hadad king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus:
Então tirou a Asa a prata e o ouro dos tesouros da casa de Deus, e da casa do rei; e enviou a Benhadad, rei da Síria, que habitava em Damasco, dizendo:
3 “Let there be a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. See, I have sent you silver and gold. Now go and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.”
Aliança há entre mim e ti, como houve entre meu pai e teu: eis que te envio prata e ouro; vai, pois, e aniquila a tua aliança com Baása, rei de Israel, para que se retire de sobre mim.
4 And Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, conquering Ijon, Dan, Abel-maim, and all the store cities of Naphtali.
E Benhadad deu ouvidos ao rei Asa, e enviou o capitão dos exércitos que tinha, contra as cidades de Israel, e feriram a Ijon, e a Dan, e a Abelmaim; e a todas as cidades das munições de Naphtali.
5 When Baasha learned of this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and abandoned his work.
E sucedeu que, ouvindo-o Baása, deixou de edificar a Rama; e descontinuou a sua obra.
6 Then King Asa brought all the men of Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and the timbers Baasha had used for building. And with these materials he built up Geba and Mizpah.
Então o rei Asa tomou a todo o Judá e levaram as pedras de Rama, e a sua madeira, com que Baása edificara; e edificou com isto a Geba e a Mispah.
7 At that time Hanani the seer came to King Asa of Judah and told him, “Because you have relied on the king of Aram and not on the LORD your God, the army of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand.
Naquele mesmo tempo veio Hanani, o vidente, a Asa rei de Judá, e disse-lhe: Porquanto confiaste no rei da Síria, e não confiaste no Senhor teu Deus, portanto o exército do rei da Síria escapou da tua mão.
8 Were not the Cushites and Libyans a vast army with many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you relied on the LORD, He delivered them into your hand.
Porventura não foram os ethiopes e os lybios um grande exército, com muitíssimos carros e cavaleiros? confiando tu porém no Senhor, ele os entregou nas tuas mãos.
9 For the eyes of the LORD roam to and fro over all the earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are fully devoted to Him. You have acted foolishly in this matter. From now on, therefore, you will be at war.”
Porque, quanto ao Senhor, seus olhos passam por toda a terra, para mostrar-se forte para com aqueles cujo coração é perfeito para com ele; nisto pois fizeste loucamente porque desde agora haverá guerras contra ti.
10 Asa was angry with the seer and became so enraged over this matter that he put the man in prison. And at the same time Asa oppressed some of the people.
Porém Asa se indignou contra o vidente, e lançou-o na casa do tronco; porque disto grandemente se alterou contra ele: também Asa no mesmo tempo oprimiu a alguns do povo.
11 Now the rest of the acts of Asa, from beginning to end, are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
E eis que os sucessos d'Asa, tanto os primeiros, como os últimos, estão escritos no livro dos reis de Judá e Israel.
12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa became diseased in his feet, and his malady became increasingly severe. Yet even in his illness he did not seek the LORD, but only the physicians.
E caiu Asa doente de seus pés no ano trinta e nove do seu reinado: grande por extremo era a sua enfermidade, e contudo na sua enfermidade não buscou ao Senhor, mas antes aos médicos.
13 So in the forty-first year of his reign, Asa died and rested with his fathers.
E Asa dormiu com seus pais; e morreu no ano quarenta e um do seu reinado.
14 And he was buried in the tomb that he had cut out for himself in the City of David. They laid him on a bier that was full of spices and various blended perfumes; then they made a great fire in his honor.
E o sepultaram no seu sepulcro, que tinha cavado para si na cidade de David, havendo-o deitado na cama, que se enchera de cheiros e especiarias preparadas segundo a arte dos perfumistas: e fizeram-lhe queima mui grande.
