2 Chronicles 28
1 Ahaz was 20 years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. His ancestor King David was a good king, but Ahaz was not like David. He constantly disobeyed Yahweh
Tinha Achaz vinte anos de idade, quando começou a reinar, e dezeseis anos reinou em Jerusalém: e não fez o que era reto aos olhos do Senhor, como David seu pai.
2 and was as sinful as the kings of Israel had been. He made idols of the god Baal.
Antes andou nos caminhos dos reis de Israel, e, de mais disto, fez imagens fundidas a Baalim.
3 He burned incense in Hinnom Valley. He even [killed some of] his own sons [and] offered [them] as sacrifices to be completely burned. That imitated the disgusting customs of the people-groups who previously lived there, people whom Yahweh had expelled as the Israelis advanced through the land.
Também queimou incenso no vale do filho de Hinnom, e queimou a seus filhos no fogo, conforme às abominações dos gentios que o Senhor tinha desterrado de diante dos filhos de Israel.
4 Ahaz offered sacrifices [to idols] at shrines on hilltops and under every big green tree.
Também sacrificou, e queimou incenso nos altos e nos outeiros, como também debaixo de toda a árvore verde.
5 Therefore Yahweh his God allowed his army to be defeated by the army of the king of Syria. They captured many soldiers of Judah and took them as prisoners to Damascus. The army of the king of Israel also defeated the army of Judah and killed very many of their soldiers.
Pelo que o Senhor seu Deus o entregou na mão do rei dos siros, os quais o feriram, e levaram dele em cativeiro uma grande multidão de presos, que trouxeram a Damasco: também foi entregue na mão do rei de Israel, o qual o feriu de grande ferida.
6 In one day the army of Remaliah’s son, King Pekah [of Israel], killed 120,000 soldiers in Judah. That happened because [the people of] Judah had abandoned Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped].
Porque Peka, filho de Remalias, matou num dia em Judá cento e vinte mil, todos homens belicosos; porquanto deixaram ao Senhor, Deus de seus pais.
7 Zicri, a warrior from the tribe of Ephraim, killed king Ahaz’s son Maaseiah, Azrikam the officer in charge of the palace, and Elkanah, the king’s assistant.
E Zichri, varão potente de Ephraim, matou a Maasias, filho do rei, e a Azrikam, o mordomo, e a Elkana, o segundo depois do rei.
8 The soldiers of Israel captured 200,000 of the people of Judah, including many wives and sons and daughters [of the soldiers of Judah]. They also seized and took back to Samaria many valuable things.
E os filhos de Israel levaram presos de seus irmãos duzentos mil, mulheres, filhos e filhas: e saquearam também deles grande despojo, e trouxeram o despojo para Samaria.
9 But a prophet of Yahweh whose name was Obed was there [in Samaria]. He went out of the city to meet the army when it returned to Samaria. He said to them, “Because Yahweh, the God whom your ancestors [belonged to], was angry with [the people of] Judah, he allowed you to defeat them. But God has seen the cruel way that you slaughtered them.
E estava ali um profeta do Senhor, cujo nome era Oded, o qual saiu ao encontro do exército que vinha para Samaria, e lhe disse: Eis que, irando-se o Senhor Deus de vossos pais contra Judá, os entregou na vossa mão, e vós os matastes com uma raiva tal, que chegou até aos céus.
10 And now you want to [sin by] causing men and women from Judah to become your slaves, but you have certainly also sinned against Yahweh our God!
E agora vós cuidais em sujeitar a vós os filhos de Judá e Jerusalém, como cativos e cativas: porventura não sois vós mesmos aqueles entre os quais há culpas contra o Senhor vosso Deus?
11 So listen to me! Send back [to Judah] your fellow-countrymen whom you have captured, because Yahweh is extremely angry with you [for what you did to them].”
Agora pois ouvi-me, e tornai a enviar os prisioneiros que trouxestes presos de vossos irmãos; porque o ardor da ira do Senhor está sobre vós.
12 Then some of the leaders of [the tribe of] Ephraim—Azariah the son of Jehohanan, Berekiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai—rebuked those who were returning from the battle.
Então se levantaram alguns homens dentre os chefes dos filhos de Ephraim; Azarias, filho de Johanan, Berechias, filho de Mesillemoth, e Jehizkias filho de Sallum, e Amasa, filho de Hadlai, contra os que voltavam da batalha.
13 They said to them, “You must not bring those prisoners here! If you do that, Yahweh will consider that we are guilty of sinning. We are already guilty of committing many sins; do you want to cause us to be even more guilty by committing another sin? God is already very angry with [us people of] Israel!”
E lhes disseram: Não fareis entrar aqui estes presos, porque, em relação à nossa culpa contra o Senhor, vós intentais acrescentar mais a nossos pecados e a nossas culpas, sendo que já temos tanta culpa, e já o ardor da ira está sobre Israel.
14 So, while their leaders and others were watching, the soldiers released the prisoners, and also gave back to them the valuable things that they had captured.
Então os homens armados deixaram os presos e o despojo diante dos maiorais e de toda a congregação.
15 The leaders who were selected took some of the clothes that the soldiers had taken from the prisoners and gave those clothes back to the people who were naked. They also gave to the prisoners sandals and other clothes and things to eat and drink, and they gave them olive oil to rub on their wounds. They gave donkeys to those who were very weak, in order that they could ride on them. Then they led them all to Jericho, the city that had many palm trees. Then those leaders [of Israel] returned to Samaria.
E os homens que foram apontados por seus nomes se levantaram, e tomaram os presos, e vestiram do despojo a todos os que dentre eles estavam nus; e os vestiram, e os calçaram, e lhes deram de comer e de beber, e os ungiram, e a todos os que estavam fracos levaram sobre jumentos, e os trouxeram a Jericó, à cidade das palmeiras, a seus irmãos: depois voltaram para Samaria.
16 About that time, King Ahaz sent [a message] to the king of Assyria requesting help.
Naquele tempo o rei Achaz enviou aos reis d'Assyria, a pedir que o ajudassem.
17 [He did that because the army from] the Edom people-group had come again and attacked Judah and taken away many of the people of Judah as prisoners.
De mais disto também os idumeus vieram, e feriram a Judá, e levaram presos em cativeiro.
18 At the same time, men from Philistia had raided/attacked towns in the foothills and in the southern desert of Judah. They had captured Beth-Shemesh, Aijalon, and Gederoth [cities], as well as Soco, Timnah and Gimzo [towns] and the nearby villages.
Também os philisteus deram sobre as cidades da campina e do sul de Judá, e tomaram a Beth-semes, e Aijalon, e a Gederot e a Socoh, e os lugares da sua jurisdição, e a Thimna, e os lugares da sua jurisdição, e a Gimzo, e os lugares da sua jurisdição: e habitaram ali.
19 Yahweh [allowed those things to happen in order to] humble king Ahaz, because he had encouraged the people of Judah to do wicked things and had disobeyed Yahweh very much.
Porque o Senhor humilhou a Judá por causa d'Achaz, rei de Israel; porque abandonou a Judá, que de todo se dera a prevaricar contra o Senhor.
20 Tiglath-Pileser, the king of Assyria, sent [his army saying that they would] help Ahaz, but instead of helping him, they caused him to experience trouble.
E veio a ele Tilgath-pilneser, rei d'Assyria; porém o pôs em aberto, e não o corroborou.
21 Ahaz’s [soldiers] took some of the [valuable] things from the temple and from the king’s palace and from other leaders of Judah and sent them to the king of Assyria [to pay him to help them], but the king of Assyria refused to help Ahaz.
Porque Achaz tomou uma porção da casa do Senhor, e da casa do rei, e dos príncipes, e a deu ao rei d'Assyria; porém não o ajudou.
22 While King Ahaz was experiencing those troubles, he disobeyed Yahweh even more.
E ao tempo em que este o apertou, então ainda mais transgrediu contra o Senhor, tal era o rei Achaz.
23 He offered sacrifices to the gods that were worshiped in Damascus, whose [army] had defeated his [army]. He thought, “The gods that are worshiped by the kings of Syria have helped them, so I will offer sacrifices to those gods in order that they will help me.” But worshiping those gods caused Ahaz and all of Israel to be ruined.
Porque sacrificou aos deuses de Damasco, que o feriram, e disse: Visto que os deuses dos reis da Síria os ajudam, eu lhes sacrificarei, para que me ajudem a mim. Porém eles foram a sua ruína, e de todo o Israel.
24 Ahaz gathered all the furnishings [that were used] in the temple and broke them into pieces. He locked the doors of the temple and set up altars [for worshiping idols] at every street corner in Jerusalem.
E ajuntou Achaz os vasos da casa do Senhor, e fez em pedaços os vasos da casa de Deus, e fechou as portas da casa do Senhor, e fez para si altares em todos os cantos de Jerusalém.
25 In every town in Judah, his workers built shrines to burn sacrifices to other gods, and that caused Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped], to be very angry.
Também em cada cidade de Judá fez altos para queimar incenso a outros deuses: assim provocou à ira o Senhor, Deus de seus pais.
26 A record of the other things that Ahaz did while he was the king, from when he started to rule until he died, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah and Israel’.
O resto pois de seus sucessos e de todos os seus caminhos, tanto os primeiros como os derradeiros, eis que está escrito no livro dos reis de Judá e de Israel.
27 Ahaz died and was buried in Jerusalem, but he was not buried in the tombs where the other kings [had been buried]. Then his son Hezekiah became the king.
E dormiu Achaz com seus pais, e o sepultaram na cidade, em Jerusalém, porém não o puseram nos sepulcros dos reis de Israel: e Ezequias, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
