2 Chronicles 28
1 Ahaz was twenty years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do what is right in the sight of the Lord, as his father David did.
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.
2 Instead, he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel. Moreover, he also cast statues for the Baals.
Antes andou nos caminhos dos reis de Israel, e ademais fez imagens de fundição aos baalins.
3 It is he who burned incense in the Valley of the son of Hinnom. And he purified his sons by fire, in accord with the ritual of the nations that the Lord put to death at the advent of the sons of Israel.
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.
4 Also, he was sacrificing and burning incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every leafy tree.
Assim sacrificou e queimou incenso nos altos, e nas colinas, e debaixo de toda árvores espessa.
5 And so the Lord, his God, delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria, who struck him and took great plunder from his kingdom. And he carried it away to Damascus. Also, he was delivered into the hands of the king of Israel, and he struck him with great affliction.
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.
6 And Pekah, the son of Remaliah, killed, on one day, one hundred twenty thousand, all of them men of war from Judah, because they had forsaken the Lord, the God of their fathers.
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.
7 In the same time, Zichri, a powerful man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah, the son of the king, and Azrikam, the governor of his house, and also Elkanah, who was second to the king.
Assim Zicri, homem poderoso de Efraim, matou a Maaseias filho do rei, e a Azricão seu mordomo, e a Elcana, segundo depois do rei.
8 And the sons of Israel seized, from their brothers, two hundred thousand women, boys, and girls, and immense plunder. And they took it away to Samaria.
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.
9 At that time, there was a prophet of the Lord there, named Oded. And going out to meet the army arriving in Samaria, he said to them: “Behold, the Lord, the God of your fathers, having become angry against Judah, has delivered them into your hands. But you have killed them by atrocities, so that your cruelty has reached up to heaven.
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
10 Moreover, you wanted to subjugate the sons of Judah and Jerusalem as your men and women servants, which is a work that should never be done. And so you sinned in this matter against the Lord your God.
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?
11 But listen to my counsel, and release the captives, whom you have brought from your brothers. For a great fury of the Lord is hanging over you.”
Ouvi-me, pois, agora, e voltai a enviar os cativos que haveis tomado de vossos irmãos: porque o SENHOR está irado contra vós.
12 And so, some of the leaders of the sons of Ephraim, Azariah, the son of Johanan, Berechiah, the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah, the son of Shallum, and Amasa, the son of Hadlai, stood up against those who were arriving from the battle.
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.
13 And they said to them: “You shall not lead back captives to here, lest we sin against the Lord. Why are you willing to add to our sins, and to build upon our old offenses? For indeed, the sin is great, and the furious anger of the Lord is hanging over Israel.”
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.
14 And the warriors released the spoils and all that they had seized, in the sight of the leaders and the entire multitude.
Então o exército deixou os cativos e a presa diante dos príncipes e de toda a multidão.
15 And the men, whom we mentioned above, rose up and took the captives. All those who were naked, they clothed from the spoils. And when they had clothed them, and had given them shoes, and had refreshed them with food and drink, and had anointed them because of the hardship, and had cared for them, whoever was not able to walk and whoever was feeble in body, they set them upon beasts of burden, and they led them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brothers, and they themselves returned to Samaria.
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.
16 In that time, king Ahaz sent to the king of the Assyrians, requesting assistance.
Naquele tempo enviou a pedir o rei Acaz aos reis de Assíria que lhe ajudassem:
17 And the Edomites arrived and struck down many of Judah, and they seized great plunder.
Porque a mais disto, os edomitas haviam vindo e ferido aos de Judá, e haviam levado cativos.
18 Also, the Philistines spread out among the cities of the plains, and to the south of Judah. And they seized Beth-shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and also Soco, and Timnah, and Gimzo, with their villages, and they lived in them.
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.
19 For the Lord had humbled Judah because of Ahaz, the king of Judah, since he had stripped it of help, and had shown contempt for the Lord.
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.
20 And he led against him Tilgath-pilneser, the king of the Assyrians, who also afflicted him and laid waste to him, without resistance.
E veio contra ele Tiglate-Pileser, rei dos assírios: pois o oprimiu, e não o fortificou.
21 And so Ahaz, despoiling the house of the Lord, and the house of the kings and the leaders, gave gifts to the king of the Assyrians, and yet it profited him nothing.
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.
22 Moreover, in the time of his anguish, he also added to his contempt against the Lord. King Ahaz himself, by himself,
Ademais o rei Acaz no tempo que aquele lhe afligia-se, acrescentou transgressão contra o SENHOR;
23 immolated victims to the gods of Damascus, those who had struck him. And he said: “The gods of the kings of Syria assist them, and so I will please them with victims, and they will help me.” But to the contrary, they had been the ruin of him and of all Israel.
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.
24 And so, Ahaz, having despoiled and broken apart all the vessels of the house of God, closed up the doors of the temple of God, and made for himself altars in all the corners of Jerusalem.
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.
25 Also, he constructed altars in all the cities of Judah, in order to burn frankincense, and so he provoked the Lord, the God of his fathers, to wrath.
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.
26 But the rest of his words, and all his works, the first and the last, have been written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
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.
27 And Ahaz slept with his fathers. And they buried him in the city of Jerusalem. And they did not allow him to be in the sepulchers of the kings of Israel. And his son, Hezekiah, reigned in his place.
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.
