2 Chronicles 16
1 In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, —that he might let none come out or go in, unto Asa king of Judah.
No ano trinta e seis do reinado de Asa, subiu Baasa rei de Israel contra Judá, e edificou a Ramá, para não deixar sair nem entrar a ninguém ao rei Asa, rei de Judá.
2 So Asa brought forth silver and gold, out of the treasuries of the house of Yahweh, and the house of the king, —and sent unto Ben-hadad, king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying:
Então tirou Asa a prata e o ouro dos tesouros da casa do SENHOR e da casa real, e enviou a Ben-Hadade rei da Síria, que estava em Damasco, dizendo:
3 [Let there be] a covenant, between me and thee, as between my father and thy father.—Lo! I have sent thee silver and gold, go break thy covenant with Baasha king of Israel, that he may go up from me.
Haja aliança entre mim e ti, como a havia entre meu pai e teu pai; eis que eu te enviei prata e ouro, para que venhas e desfaças a aliança que tens com Baasa rei de Israel, a fim de que se retire de mim.
4 And Ben-hadad hearkened unto King Asa, and sent the chieftains of the forces which he had, against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon and Dan, and Abel-maim, —and all the storehouses of the cities of Naphtali.
E consentiu Ben-Hadade com o rei Asa, e enviou os capitães de seus exércitos à cidades de Israel: e atacaram a Ijom, Dã, e Abel-Maim, e as cidades fortes de Naftali.
5 And it cams to pass, when Baasha heard it, he left off building Ramah, —and let his work cease.
E ouvindo isto Baasa, cessou de edificar a Ramá, e deixou sua obra.
6 And, Asa the king, took all Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timbers thereof, which Baasha had used in building, —and he built therewith, Geba and Mizpah.
Então o rei Asa tomou a todo Judá, e levaram-se de Ramá a pedra e madeira com que Baasa edificava, e com ela edificou a Geba e Mispá.
7 And, at that time, came Hanani the seer, unto Asa the king of Judah, —and said unto him, Because thou hast leaned upon the king of Syria, and hast not leaned upon Yahweh thy God, for this cause, hath the force of the king of Syria escaped out of thy hand.
Naquele tempo veio Hanani vidente a Asa rei de Judá, e disse-lhe: Por quanto te apoiaste no rei de Síria, e não te apoiaste no SENHOR teu Deus, por isso o exército do rei da Síria escapou de tuas mãos.
8 Were not, the Ethiopians and the Lybians, a huge host, with chariots and horsemen exceeding many? yet, because thou didst lean upon Yahweh, he delivered them into thy hand.
Os etíopes e os líbios, não eram um exército numerosíssimo, com carros e muitos cavaleiros? Contudo, porque te apoiaste no SENHOR, ele os entregou em tuas mãos.
9 For, as touching Yahweh, [seeing that], his eyes, are ever running to and fro throughout all the earth, to shew himself strong with them who are perfect toward himself, thou hast made thyself foolish over this, —for, from henceforth, there shall be with thee—wars.
Porque os olhos do SENHOR contemplam toda a terra, para corroborar aos que têm coração íntegro com ele. Loucamente fizeste nisso; porque de agora em diante haverá guerra contra ti.
10 Then was Asa angry with the seer, and put him in the house of the stocks, for he was in a rage with him, over this, —and Asa oppressed some of the people, at that time.
E irou-se Asa contra o vidente, lançou-o na casa do cárcere, porque foi em extremo incomodado por causa disto. E oprimiu Asa naquele tempo alguns do povo.
11 But lo! the story of Asa, first and last, there it is, written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Mas eis que, os feitos de Asa, primeiros e últimos, estão escritos no livro dos reis de Judá e de Israel.
12 And Asa became diseased—in the thirty-ninth year of his reign—in his feet, exceedingly severe, was his disease, —yet, even in his disease, he sought not Yahweh, but unto physicians.
E o ano trinta e nove de seu reinado enfermou Asa dos pés para acima, e em sua enfermidade não buscou ao SENHOR, mas sim aos médicos.
13 And Asa slept with his fathers, —yea he died in the forty-first year of his reign;
E descansou Asa com seus pais, e morreu no ano quarenta e um de seu reinado.
14 and they buried him in his own stately sepulchre, which he had hewn for himself in the city of David, and laid him on a couch which was full of sweet spices—yea of various kinds, made by the perfumer’s art, —and they burned for him with an exceeding great burning.
E sepultaram-no em seus sepulcros que ele havia feito para si na cidade de Davi; e puseram-no em uma cama, a qual encheram de aromas e artefatos com fragrâncias, preparadas por perfumistas; e fizeram uma grande fogueira em sua homenagem.
