2 Chronicles 13
1 In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, Abijah reigned over Judah.
Aos dezoito anos do rei Jeroboão, reinou Abias sobre Judá.
2 He reigned for three years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother was Micaiah, the daughter of Uriel, from Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
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.
3 And when Abijah had undertaken the conflict, and he had with him four hundred thousand elect men, very fit for war, Jeroboam set up a battle line opposite him of eight hundred thousand men, who were also elect and very strong in warfare.
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.
4 Then Abijah stood upon mount Zemaraim, which was in Ephraim, and he said: “Listen to me, Jeroboam and all of Israel.
E levantou-se Abias sobre o monte de Zemaraim, que é nos montes de Efraim, e disse: Ouvi-me, Jeroboão e todo Israel.
5 Are you ignorant that the Lord, the God of Israel, gave David the kingship over Israel for all time, to him and to his sons, by a covenant of salt?
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?
6 But Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, the servant of Solomon, son of David, rose up and rebelled against his lord.
Porém Jeroboão filho de Nebate, servo de Salomão filho de Davi, se levantou e rebelou contra seu senhor.
7 And there were gathered to him very vain men, and sons of Belial. And they prevailed against Rehoboam, the son of Solomon. For Rehoboam was inexperienced, and he had a fearful heart, and so he was unable to resist them.
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.
8 Now therefore, you say that you are able to resist the kingdom of the Lord, which he possesses through the sons of David, and you have a great multitude of people, and gold calves, which Jeroboam made for you as gods.
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.
9 And you have cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, as well as the Levites. And like all the peoples of the lands, you have made priests for yourselves. Anyone who is willing to come and perform the ritual by his hand, with a bull from the herd and with seven rams, is made a priest of those who are not gods.
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?
10 But the Lord is our God, and we have not forsaken him. And the priests who minister to the Lord are from the sons of Aaron. And the Levites are in their proper order.
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;
11 Also, they offer holocausts to the Lord, each and every day, morning and evening, and incense composed according to the precept of the law, and the bread of the presence on a very pure table. And there is with us the gold lampstand with its lamps, so that they may burn continually in the evening. For certainly, we keep the precepts of the Lord our God, whom you have forsaken.
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.
12 Therefore, God is the commander of our army, with his priests, who sound the trumpets that ring out against you. O sons of Israel, do not choose to fight against the Lord, the God of your fathers. For it is not expedient for you.”
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.
13 While he was speaking these things, Jeroboam set in motion an ambush behind them. And while they stood facing the enemy, without Judah realizing it, his army circled around.
Porém Jeroboão preparou uma emboscada para vir a eles pela retaguarda: e estando assim diante deles, a emboscada estava à retaguarda de Judá.
14 And looking back, Judah saw the war threatening in front and behind, and they cried out to the Lord. And the priests began to sound the trumpets.
E quando olhou Judá, eis que tinha batalha diante e às costas; por isso que clamaram ao SENHOR, e os sacerdotes tocaram as trombetas.
15 And all the men of Judah shouted out. And behold, when they cried out, God terrified Jeroboam, and all of Israel who were standing in opposition to Abijah and Judah.
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:
16 And the sons of Israel fled from Judah, and the Lord delivered them into their hand.
E fugiram os filhos de Israel diante de Judá, e Deus os entregou em suas mãos.
17 Therefore, Abijah and his people struck them with a great slaughter. And five hundred thousand strong men of Israel fell wounded.
E Abias e sua gente faziam em eles grande mortandade; e caíram feridos de Israel quinhentos mil homens escolhidos.
18 And the sons of Israel were humiliated at that time. And the sons of Judah were very greatly strengthened, because they had trusted in the Lord, the God of their fathers.
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.
19 Then Abijah pursued the fleeing Jeroboam. And he seized cities from him: Bethel and her daughters, and Jeshanah with her daughters, and also Ephron and her daughters.
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.
20 And Jeroboam no longer had the strength to resist, in the days of Abijah. And the Lord struck him, and he died.
E nunca mais teve Jeroboão poderio nos dias de Abias: e feriu-lhe o SENHOR, e morreu.
21 And so Abijah, having been strengthened in his authority, took fourteen wives. And he procreated twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
Porém se fortificou Abias; e tomou catorze mulheres, e gerou vinte e dois filhos, e dezesseis filhas.
22 Now the rest of the words of Abijah, and his ways and works, have been written very diligently in the book of Iddo, the prophet.
Os demais feitos de Abias, seus caminhos e seus negócios, estão escritos na história do profeta Ido.
