2 Chronicles 15
1 And as for 'Azaryahu the son of 'Oded—on him came the spirit of God;
Então veiu o Espirito de Deus sobre Azarias, filho d'Obed.
2 And he went out to meet Assa, and said unto him, Hear me, O Assa, and all Judah and Benjamin, The Lord is with you, while ye remain with him; and if ye seek him, he will let himself be found by you; but if ye 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 And many days [had elapsed] for Israel, [they being] 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 they returned when they were in distress unto the Lord, the God of Israel, and they sought him, and he let himself be found by 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, and to him that came in; but there were great confusions among 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 dashed to pieces against nation, and city against city; for God did confound them with all kind of distress.
Porque gente contra gente, e cidade contra cidade se despedaçavam; porque Deus os perturbara com toda a angustia.
7 But as for you, be ye strong, and let not your hands be weak; for there is a reward for your doing.
Mas esforçae-vos, e não desfaleçam as vossas mãos; porque a vossa obra tem uma recompensa.
8 And when Assa heard these words, and the prophecy of 'Oded the prophet, he was strengthened, and he put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had captured from the mountain of Ephraim; and he 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 assembled all Judah and Benjamin, and those that sojourned with them out of Ephraim and Menasseh, and out of Simeon; for they had joined 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 And so they assembled themselves at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Assa.
E ajuntaram-se em Jerusalem no terceiro mez; no anno decimo do reinado d'Asa.
11 And they sacrificed unto the Lord on the same day, of the booty 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 the covenant to seek the Lord the 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 So that whosoever would not seek the Lord the God of Israel should be put to death, from the small even up to the great, whether it be 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 unto the Lord with a loud voice, and with [joyful] 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 because of the oath; for with all their heart had they sworn, and with their whole desire did they seek him, and he let himself be found by them: and the Lord gave them rest on every side.
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 Ma'achah the mother of king Assa, he removed her from being queen, because she had made a scandalous image for the grove; and Assa cut down her scandalous image, and had it ground up, and burnt it by 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 removed out of Israel; nevertheless the heart of Assa was entire all his days.
Os altos porém não se tiraram d'Israel; comtudo o coração d'Asa foi perfeito todos os seus dias.
18 And be brought the things which his father had sanctified, and his own sanctified things, into the house of God, —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 war until the five-and-thirtieth year of the reign of Assa.
E não houve guerra até ao anno trigesimo quinto do reino d'Asa.
