2 Chronicles 15
1 And the Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded:
Então veiu o Espirito de Deus sobre Azarias, filho d'Obed.
2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, Hear you me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while you be with him; and if you seek him, he will be found of you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
E saiu ao encontro d'Asa, e disse-lhe: Ouvi-me, Asa, e todo o Judah e Benjamin: O Senhor está comvosco, emquanto vós estaes com elle, e, se o buscardes, o achareis; porém, se o deixardes, vos deixará.
3 Now for a long season Israel has been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
E Israel esteve por muitos dias sem o verdadeiro Deus, e sem sacerdote que o ensinasse, e sem lei.
4 But when they in their trouble did turn to the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.
Mas quando na sua angustia se convertiam ao Senhor, Deus d'Israel, e o buscavam, o achavam.
5 And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were on all the inhabitants of the countries.
E n'aquelles tempos não havia paz, nem para o que sahia, nem para o que entrava, mas muitas perturbações sobre todos os habitantes d'aquellas terras.
6 And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity.
Porque gente contra gente, e cidade contra cidade se despedaçavam; porque Deus os perturbara com toda a angustia.
7 Be you strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.
Mas esforçae-vos, e não desfaleçam as vossas mãos; porque a vossa obra tem uma recompensa.
8 And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD.
Ouvindo pois Asa estas palavras, e a prophecia do propheta, filho d'Obed, esforçou-se, e tirou as abominações de toda a terra de Judah e de Benjamin, como tambem das cidades que tomára nas montanhas d'Ephraim: e renovou o altar do Senhor, que estava diante do portico do Senhor.
9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
E ajuntou a todo o Judah, e Benjamin, e com elles os estrangeiros d'Ephraim e Manasseh, e de Simeão; porque d'Israel descahiam a elle em grande numero, vendo que o Senhor seu Deus era com elle.
10 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
E ajuntaram-se em Jerusalem no terceiro mez; no anno decimo do reinado d'Asa.
11 And they offered to the LORD the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
E no mesmo dia offereceram em sacrificio ao Senhor, do despojo que trouxeram, seiscentos bois e seis mil ovelhas.
12 And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
E entraram no concerto de buscarem o Senhor, Deus de seus paes, com todo o seu coração, e com toda a sua alma;
13 That whoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
E de que todo aquelle que não buscasse ao Senhor, Deus d'Israel, morresse; desde o menor até ao maior, e desde o homem até á mulher.
14 And they swore to the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
E juraram ao Senhor, em alta voz, com jubilo e com trombetas e buzinas.
15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about.
E todo o Judah se alegrou d'este juramento; porque com todo o seu coração juraram, e com toda a sua vontade o buscaram, e o acharam: e o Senhor lhes deu repouso em redor.
16 And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.
E tambem a Maaca, mãe do rei Asa, elle a depoz, para que não fosse mais rainha; porquanto fizera a Aserá um horrivel idolo; e Asa destruiu o seu horrivel idolo, e o despedaçou, e o queimou junto ao ribeiro de Cedron.
17 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
Os altos porém não se tiraram d'Israel; comtudo o coração d'Asa foi perfeito todos os seus dias.
18 And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.
E trouxe as coisas que tinha consagrado seu pae, e as coisas que mesmo tinha consagrado á casa de Deus: prata, e oiro, e vasos.
19 And there was no more war to the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
E não houve guerra até ao anno trigesimo quinto do reino d'Asa.
