2 Chronicles 14
1 So Abiiah slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the citie of Dauid, and Asa his sonne reigned in his steade: in whose dayes the lande was quiet ten yeere.
E Abias dormiu com seus paes e o sepultaram na cidade de David; e Asa, seu filho, reinou em seu logar: nos seus dias esteve a terra em paz dez annos.
2 And Asa did that was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God.
E Asa fez o que era bom e recto aos olhos do Senhor seu Deus.
3 For he tooke away the altars of the strange gods and the hie places, and brake downe the images, and cut downe the groues,
Porque tirou os altares dos deuses estranhos, e os altos: e quebrou as estatuas, e cortou os bosques.
4 And commanded Iudah to seeke the Lord God of their fathers, and to doe according to the Lawe and the comandement.
E mandou a Judah que buscassem ao Senhor Deus de seus paes, e que observassem a lei e o mandamento.
5 And he tooke away out of all the cities of Iudah the hie places, and the images: therefore the kingdome was quiet before him.
Tambem tirou de todas as cidades de Judah os altos e as imagens do sol: e o reino esteve quieto diante d'elle.
6 He built also strong cities in Iudah, because the lande was in rest, and he had no warre in those yeeres: for the Lord had giuen him rest.
E edificou cidades fortes em Judah: porque a terra estava quieta, e não havia guerra contra elle n'aquelles annos; porquanto o Senhor lhe dera repouso.
7 Therefore he saide to Iudah, Let vs builde these cities and make walles about, and towers, gates, and barres, whiles the lande is before vs: because we haue sought the Lord our God, we haue sought him, and he hath giuen vs rest on euery side: so they built and prospered.
Disse pois a Judah: Edifiquemos estas cidades, e cerquemol-as de muros e torres, portas e ferrolhos, emquanto a terra ainda está quieta diante de nós, pois buscámos ao Senhor nosso Deus; buscámol-o, e deu-nos repouso em redor. Edificaram, pois, e prosperaram.
8 And Asa had an armie of Iudah that bare shieldes and speares, three hundreth thousande, and of Beniamin that bare shieldes and drewe bowes, two hundreth and foure score thousande: all these were valiant men.
Tinha pois Asa um exercito de trezentos mil de Judah que traziam pavez e lança; e duzentos e oitenta mil de Benjamin, que traziam escudo e atiravam d'arco; todos estes eram varões valentes.
9 And there came out against them Zerah of Ethiopia with an hoste of ten hundreth thousande, and three hundreth charets, and came vnto Mareshah.
E Zera, o ethiope, saiu contra elles, com um exercito de mil milhares, e trezentos carros, e chegou até Maresa.
10 Then Asa went out before him, and they set the battell in aray in the valley of Zephathah beside Mareshah.
Então Asa saiu contra elle: e ordenaram a batalha no valle de Zephatha, junto a Maresa.
11 And Asa cryed vnto the Lord his God, and saide, Lord, it is nothing with thee to helpe with many, or with no power: helpe vs, O Lord our God: for we rest on thee, and in thy Name are we come against this multitude: O Lord, thou art our God, let not man preuaile against thee.
E Asa clamou ao Senhor seu Deus, e disse: Senhor, nada para ti é ajudar, quer o poderoso quer o de nenhuma força; ajuda-nos, pois, Senhor nosso Deus, porque em ti confiamos, e no teu nome viemos contra esta multidão: Senhor, tu és nosso Deus, não prevaleça contra ti o homem
12 So the Lord smote the Ethiopians before Asa and before Iudah, and the Ethiopians fled.
E o Senhor feriu os ethiopes diante d'Asa e diante de Judah: e fugiram os ethiopes.
13 And Asa and the people that was with him, pursued them vnto Gerar. And the Ethiopians hoste was ouerthrowen, so that there was no life in them: for they were destroyed before the Lord and before his hoste: and they caryed away a mightie great spoyle.
E Asa, e o povo que estava com elle os perseguiram até Gerar, e cairam tantos dos ethiopes, que já não havia n'elles vigor algum; porque foram quebrantados diante do Senhor, e diante do seu exercito: e levaram d'ali mui grande despojo.
14 And they smote all the cities rounde about Gerar: for the feare of the Lord came vpon them, and they spoyled all the cities, for there was exceeding much spoyle in them.
E feriram todas as cidades nos arredores de Gerar; porque o terror do Senhor estava sobre elles; e saquearam todas as cidades, porque havia n'ellas muita preza.
15 Yea, and they smote the tents of cattel, and carried away plentie of sheepe and camels, and returned to Ierusalem.
Tambem feriram as malhadas do gado; e levaram ovelhas em abundancia, e camelos, e voltaram para Jerusalem.
