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 ano dezesete de Peka, filho de Remalias, começou a reinar Achaz, filho de Jothão, rei de Judá.
2 Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and he did not that which was right in the eyes of the LORD his God, like David his father.
Tinha Achaz vinte anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e reinou dezeseis anos em Jerusalém, e não fez o que era reto aos olhos do Senhor seu Deus, como David, seu pai.
3 But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, 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 fora de diante dos filhos de Israel.
4 And he sacrificed and offered in the high places, and on the hills, and under every leafy tree.
Também sacrificou, e queimou incenso nos altos e nos outeiros, como também debaixo de todo o arvoredo.
5 Then Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war; and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him.
Então subiu Resin, rei da Síria, com Peka, filho de Remalias, rei de Israel, a Jerusalém, à peleja; e cercaram a Achaz, porém não o puderam vencer.
6 At that time Rezin king of Aram recovered Elath to Aram, and drove the Jews from Elath; and the Edomites came to Elath, and dwelt there, unto this day.
Naquele mesmo tempo Resin, rei da Síria, restituiu Elath à Síria, e lançou fora de Elath os judeus: e os siros vieram a Elath, e habitaram ali até ao dia de hoje.
7 So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying: 'I am thy servant and thy son; come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Aram, 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 Síria, e das mãos do rei de Israel, que se levantam contra mim.
8 And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD, 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 ouro que se achou na casa do Senhor e nos tesouros da casa do rei, e mandou um presente ao rei da Assyria.
9 And the king of Assyria hearkened unto him; and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried the people of it captive to Kir, and slew 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 And 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 the fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship thereof.
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 semelhança do altar, e o modelo, conforme toda a sua feição.
11 And Urijah the priest built an altar; according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so did Urijah the priest make it against 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 And when the king was come from Damascus, the king saw the altar; and the king drew near unto the altar, and offered thereon.
Vindo pois o rei de Damasco, o rei viu o altar; e o rei se chegou ao altar, e sacrificou nele.
13 And he offered his burnt-offering and his meal-offering, and poured his drink-offering, and dashed the blood of his peace-offerings against the altar.
E queimou o seu holocausto, e a sua oferta de manjares, e derramou a sua libação: e espargiu o sangue dos seus sacrifícios pacíficos naquele altar.
14 And the brazen altar, which was before the LORD, he brought from the forefront of the house, from between his altar and the house of the LORD, 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 pô-lo ao lado do seu altar, da banda do norte.
15 And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying: 'Upon the great altar offer the morning burnt-offering, and the evening meal-offering, and the king's burnt-offering, and his meal-offering, with the burnt-offering of all the people of the land, and their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings; and dash against it all the blood of the burnt-offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice; but the brazen altar shall be for me to look to.'
E o rei Achaz mandou a Urias o sacerdote, dizendo: No grande altar queima o holocausto de pela manhã, como também a oferta de manjares de noite, e o holocausto do rei, e a sua oferta de manjares, e o holocausto de todo o povo da terra, a sua oferta de manjares, e as suas ofertas de bebida e todo o sangue dos holocaustos, e todo o sangue dos sacrifícios espargirás nele; porém o altar de cobre será para mim, para inquirir dele.
16 Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.
E fez Urias, o sacerdote, conforme tudo quanto o rei Achaz lhe ordenara.
17 And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them; and took down the sea from off the brazen oxen that were under it, and put it upon a pavement of stone.
E o rei Achaz cortou as cintas das bases, e de cima delas tomou a pia, e o mar tirou de sobre os bois de cobre, que estavam debaixo dele, e pô-lo sobre um soalho de pedra.
18 And the covered place for the sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king's entry without, turned he unto the house of the LORD, because of the king of Assyria.
Também a coberta do sábado, que edificaram na casa, e a entrada de fora 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 they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Ora o mais dos sucessos de Achaz, e o que fez, porventura não está escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?
20 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
E dormiu Achaz com seus pais, e foi sepultado junto a seus pais, na cidade de David: e Ezequias, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
