2 Chronicles 20
1 And it came to pass, after this, that the sons of Moab and the sons of Ammon, and, with them, some of the Meunim, came against Jehoshaphat, to battle.
E succedeu que, depois d'isto, os filhos de Moab, e os filhos d'Ammon, e com elles outros de mais dos ammonitas, vieram á peleja contra Josaphat.
2 And there came [some] and told Jehoshaphat, saying, There is coming against thee, a great multitude from beyond the sea, from Syria, —and lo! they are in Hazazon-tamar, the same, is Engedi.
Então vieram alguns que deram aviso a Josaphat, dizendo: Vem contra ti uma grande multidão d'além do mar e da Syria: e eis-que já estão em Hatson-thamar, que é Engedi.
3 And Jehoshaphat was afraid, and set his face to seek unto Yahweh, —and proclaimed a fast for all Judah.
Então Josaphat temeu, e poz-se a buscar o Senhor; e apregoou jejum em todo o Judah.
4 And Judah gathered themselves together, to enquire of Yahweh, —even, out of all the cities of Judah, came they in, to seek Yahweh.
E Judah se ajuntou, para pedir soccorro ao Senhor: tambem de todas as cidades de Judah vieram para buscarem ao Senhor.
5 And Jehoshaphat stood, in the convocation of Judah and Jerusalem in the house of Yahweh, —before the new court;
E poz-se Josaphat em pé na congregação de Judah e de Jerusalem, na casa do Senhor, diante do pateo novo.
6 and said, O Yahweh, God of our fathers, art not, thou, God in the heavens? and art, thou, not ruling throughout all the kingdoms of the nations? and, in thy hand, [are there not] strength and might? and is there any who, against thee, can stand?
E disse: Ah Senhor, Deus de nossos paes, porventura não és tu Deus nos céus? pois tu és Dominador sobre todos os reinos das gentes, e na tua mão ha força e potencia, e não ha quem te possa resistir.
7 Art not, thou, our God, who didst dispossess the inhabitants of this land, from before thy people Israel, —and didst give it unto the seed of Abraham who loved thee, unto times age-abiding?
Porventura, ó Deus nosso, não lançaste tu fóra os moradores d'esta terra, de diante do teu povo Israel, e a déste á semente d'Abrahão, teu amigo, para sempre
8 and they have dwelt therein, —and have built for thee therein, a sanctuary for thy Name, saying:
E habitaram n'ella; e edificaram-te n'ella um sanctuario ao teu nome, dizendo:
9 If there come upon us calamity, the sword of judgment or pestilence or famine, we will stand before this house and before thee, for, thy Name, is in this house, —that we may make outcry unto thee out of our distress, that thou mayest hear and save.
Se algum mal nos sobrevier, espada, juizo, peste, ou fome, nós nos apresentaremos diante d'esta casa e diante de ti; pois teu nome está n'esta casa; e clamaremos a ti na nossa angustia, e tu nos ouvirás e livrarás.
10 Now, therefore, lo! the sons of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom thou didst not suffer Israel to invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, —but they turned away from them and destroyed them not,
Agora, pois, eis que os filhos d'Ammon e de Moab, e os das montanhas de Seir, pelos quaes não permittiste passar a Israel, quando vinham da terra do Egypto; mas d'elles se desviaram e não os destruiram;
11 yea lo! they, are requiting us, —by coming to drive us out, from thy possession, which thou didst cause us to possess.
Eis que nos dão o pago, vindo para lançar-nos fóra da tua herança, que nos fizeste herdar.
12 O our God, wilt thou not bring judgment upon them, seeing that there is, in us, no strength, before this great multitude, that is coming against us, —we, therefore, know not what we shall do, but, unto thee, are our eyes.
Ah Deus nosso, porventura não os julgarás? porque em nós não ha força perante esta grande multidão que vem contra nós, e não sabemos nós o que faremos; porém os nossos olhos estão postos em ti.
13 And, all Judah, were standing before Yahweh, —also their little ones, their wives and their children.
E todo o Judah estava em pé perante o Senhor, como tambem as suas creanças, as suas mulheres, e os seus filhos.
14 Now, as for Jahaziel son of Zechariah son of Benaiah son of Jeiel son of Mattaniah a Levite, of the sons of Asaph, there came upon him the spirit of Yahweh, in the midst of the convocation:
Então veiu o espirito do Senhor, no meio da congregação, sobre Jahaziel, filho de Zacharias, filho de Benaias, filho de Jehiel, filho de Mattanias, levita, dos filhos de Asaf,
15 and he said, Give ye heed, all Judah and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and King Jehoshaphat! Thus, saith Yahweh unto you. As for you, do not fear nor be dismayed, by reason of this great multitude, for, not yours, is the battle, but, God’s.
E disse: Dae ouvidos todo o Judah, e vós, moradores de Jerusalem, e tu, ó rei Josaphat: assim o Senhor vos diz: Não temaes, nem vos assusteis por causa d'esta grande multidão; pois a peleja não é vossa, senão de Deus.
16 To-morrow, go ye down against them, for lo! there they are coming up by the ascent of Ziz, —and ye shall find them at the end of the ravine, facing the wilderness of Jeruel.
Ámanhã descereis contra elles; eis que sobem pela ladeira de Zis, e os achareis no fim do valle, diante do deserto de Jeruel.
17 It is not, for you, to fight in this matter, —take your station, stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh with you, O Judah and Jerusalem, do not fear, nor be dismayed, to-morrow, go ye out to meet them, and, Yahweh, will be with you.
N'esta peleja não tereis que pelejar: parae-vos, estae em pé, e vêde a salvação do Senhor para comvosco, ó Judah e Jerusalem; não temaes, nem vos assusteis, ámanhã sahi-lhes ao encontro, porque o Senhor será comvosco.
18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head, with his face to the ground, —and, all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, fell down before Yahweh, prostrating themselves unto Yahweh.
Então Josaphat se prostrou com o rosto em terra: e todo o Judah e os moradores de Jerusalem se lançaram perante o Senhor, adorando ao Senhor.
19 And Levites—of the sons of the Kohathites and of the sons of the Korahites, stood up to offer praise unto Yahweh, God of Israel, with an exceedingly loud voice.
E levantaram-se os levitas, dos filhos dos kohathitas, e dos filhos dos korathitas, para louvarem ao Senhor Deus d'Israel, com grande voz até ao alto.
20 So they rose early in the morning, and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa, —and, as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, Trust ye in Yahweh your God, and ye shall be trusted, Trust ye in his prophets, and ye shall prosper.
E pela manhã cedo se levantaram e sairam ao deserto de Tekoa: e, saindo elles, poz-se em pé Josaphat, e disse: Ouvi-me, ó Judah, e vós, moradores de Jerusalem: Crede no Senhor vosso Deus, e estareis seguros; crede nos seus prophetas, e sereis prosperados.
21 And, when he had given counsel unto the people, he appointed such as should sing unto Yahweh, and offer praise with holy adorning, —as they should be going forth before the armed men, that they should be saying, O give thanks unto Yahweh, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
E aconselhou-se com o povo, e ordenou cantores para o Senhor, que louvassem a Magestade sancta, saindo diante dos armados, e dizendo: Louvae ao Senhor, porque a sua benignidade dura para sempre.
22 And, when they began to sing and to praise, Yahweh had set liers-in-wait against the sons of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir, who were coming against Judah, and they were smitten.
E, ao tempo que começaram com jubilo e louvor, o Senhor poz emboscadas contra os filhos d'Ammon e de Moab, e os das montanhas de Seir, que vieram contra Judah e foram desbaratados.
23 Then rose up the sons of Ammon and Moab against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, to devote and to destroy, —and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to cut off, every man his neighbour.
Porque os filhos d'Ammon e de Moab se levantaram contra os moradores das montanhas de Seir, para os destruir e exterminar: e, acabando elles com os moradores de Seir, ajudaram uns aos outros a destruir-se.
24 So when, Judah, came near the watch-tower of the wilderness, —they turned towards the multitude, and lo! there they were, dead bodies fallen to the earth, with none to escape.
Entretanto chegou Judah á atalaia do deserto: e olharam para a multidão, e eis que eram corpos mortos, que jaziam em terra, e nenhum escapou.
25 And, when Jehoshaphat and his people came near to plunder the spoil of them, they found among them, in abundance, both riches and dead bodies and precious jewels, and they stripped off for themselves, beyond what they could carry away, —and they were three days plundering the spoil, for great it was.
E vieram Josaphat e o seu povo para saquear os seus despojos, e acharam n'elles fazenda e cadaveres em abundancia, assim como vasos preciosos, e tomaram para si tanto, que não podiam levar mais: e tres dias saquearam o despojo, porque era muito.
26 And, on the fourth day, they assembled themselves in the vale of Beracah, for there they blessed Yahweh, —on this account, was the name of that place called The Vale of Beracah—unto this day.
E ao quarto dia se ajuntaram no valle de Beracha; porque ali louvaram o Senhor: por isso chamaram o nome d'aquelle logar o valle de Beracha, até ao dia d'hoje.
27 Then turned every man of Judah and Jerusalem, with, Jehoshaphat, at their head, to go again to Jerusalem with joy, —for Yahweh had caused them to rejoice over their enemies.
Então voltaram todos os homens de Judah e de Jerusalem, e Josaphat á frente d'elles, para virem a Jerusalem com alegria: porque o Senhor os alegrara ácerca dos seus inimigos.
28 So they came to Jerusalem, with harps and with lyres, and with trumpets, —unto the house of Yahweh.
E vieram a Jerusalem com alaudes, e com harpas, e com trombetas, para a casa do Senhor.
29 And it came to pass that, the dread of God, was upon all the kingdoms of the countries, -when they heard, that Yahweh had fought against the enemies of Israel.
E veiu o temor de Deus sobre todos os reinos d'aquellas terras, ouvindo elles que o Senhor havia pelejado contra os inimigos d'Israel.
30 So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was quiet, —for his God, gave him rest, round about.
E o reino de Josaphat ficou quieto: e o seu Deus lhe deu repouso em redor.
31 Thus Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah, —thirty-five years old, was he when he began to reign, and, twenty-five years, reigned he in Jerusalem, and the, name of his mother, was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi.
E Josaphat reinou sobre Judah: era da edade de trinta e cinco annos quando começou a reinar e vinte e cinco annos reinou em Jerusalem; e era o nome de sua mãe, Azuba, filha de Silhi.
32 And he walked in the way of his father Asa, and turned not from it, —doing that which was right, in the eyes of Yahweh.
E andou no caminho d'Asa, seu pae, e não se desviou d'elle, fazendo o que era recto nos olhos do Senhor.
33 Howbeit, the high places, were not taken away, —for as yet, the people, had not fixed their heart unto the God of their fathers.
Comtudo os altos se não tiraram, porque o povo não tinha ainda preparado o seu coração para com o Deus de seus paes.
34 But, the rest of the story of Jehoshaphat, first and last, lo! there it is written in the story of Jehu son of Hanani, which hath been added to the book of the Kings of Israel.
Ora o resto dos successos de Josaphat, assim primeiros, como ultimos, eis que está escripto nas notas de Jehu, filho de Hanani, que lhe fizeram apontar no livro dos reis de Israel.
35 Yet, after this, did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, —he, was lawless in his doings;
Porém depois d'isto Josaphat, rei de Judah, se alliou com Achazias, rei de Israel, que obrou com toda a impiedade.
36 and he joined with him, to make ships to go unto Tarshish, —and they made ships in Ezion-geber,
E alliou-se com elle, para fazerem navios que fossem a Tharsis: e fizeram os navios em Esion-geber.
37 Then prophesied, Eliezer son of Dodavahu of Mareshah, against Jehoshaphat, saying, —Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, Yahweh hath broken in pieces thy works. So the ships were wrecked, and were not able to go unto Tarshish.
Porém Eliezer, filho de Dodava, de Maresa, prophetizou contra Josaphat, dizendo: Porquanto te alliaste com Achazias, o Senhor despedaçou as tuas obras. E os navios se quebraram, e não poderam ir a Tharsis.
