2 Chronicles 33
1 Manasseh was 12 years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled from Jerusalem for 55 years.
De doze anos era Manassés quando começou a reinar, e cinquenta e cinco anos reinou em Jerusalém.
2 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He imitated the disgusting things that were formerly done by the people-groups that Yahweh had expelled from Israel as his people advanced [though the land].
Mas fez o que era mau em olhos do SENHOR, conforme as abominações das nações que havia lançado o SENHOR diante dos filhos de Israel:
3 He commanded his workers to rebuild the shrines [for worshiping idols] that his father Hezekiah had destroyed. He told them to set up altars to [honor] the statues of Baal, and to make altars to [honor the goddess] Asherah. He bowed down to [worship] all the stars.
Porque ele reedificou os altos que Ezequias seu pai havia derrubado, e levantou altares aos baalins, e fez bosques, e adorou a todo o exército dos céus, e a ele serviu.
4 He directed his workers to build altars [for foreign gods] in the temple, about which Yahweh had said, “It is here in Jerusalem that I want people to worship me, forever.”
Edificou também altares na casa do SENHOR, da qual havia dito o SENHOR: Em Jerusalém será meu nome perpetuamente.
5 He directed that altars for [worshiping] all the stars be built in both of the courtyards outside the temple.
Edificou assim altares a todo o exército dos céus nos dois átrios da casa do SENHOR.
6 He even sacrificed [some of] his own sons and burned them in a fire in Hinnom Valley. He performed rituals to practice sorcery. He asked fortune-tellers for advice. He performed witchcraft. He talked to people who consulted the spirits of people who had died to find out what would happen in the future. He did many things that Yahweh considered o be very evil, things that caused Yahweh to become very angry.
E passou seus filhos por fogo no vale dos filhos de Hinom; e olhava adivinhações, predições supersticiosas, e feitiçarias, e consultava médiuns e interpretadores de espíritos; ele fez muito mal aos olhos do SENHOR, para irritar-lhe.
7 Manasseh took a carved idol [that his workers had made] and put it in the temple. That is the temple concerning which God had said to David and to his son Solomon, “My temple will be here in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen [where I want people to] worship me, forever.
A mais disto pôs uma imagem de fundição, que fez, na casa de Deus, da qual havia dito Deus a Davi e a Salomão seu filho: Nesta casa e em Jerusalém, a qual eu escolhi sobre todas as tribos de Israel, porei meu nome para sempre:
8 If they will obey all the laws and decrees and regulations that I told Moses to give to them, I will not again force the Israeli people to leave this land that I gave to their ancestors.”
E nunca mais tirarei o pé de Israel da terra que eu entreguei a vossos pais, a condição que guardem e façam todas as coisas que eu lhes ei mandado, toda a lei, estatutos, e ordenanças, por meio de Moisés.
9 But Manasseh led the people of Jerusalem and other places in Judah to do things that are wrong, with the result that they did more evil than was done by the people in the people-groups that Yahweh had expelled as the Israeli people advanced [through the land].
Fez, pois, Manassés desviar-se a Judá e aos moradores de Jerusalém, para fazer mais mal que as nações que o SENHOR destruiu diante dos filhos de Israel.
10 Yahweh spoke to Manasseh and the people of Judah, but they paid no attention.
E falou o SENHOR a Manassés e a seu povo, mas eles não escutaram:
11 So Yahweh caused the army commanders of Assyria [and their soldiers] to [come to Jerusalem, and they] captured Manasseh. They put a hook in his nose and put bronze chains on his [feet] and took him to Babylon.
Por isso o SENHOR trouxe contra eles os generais do exército do rei dos assírios, os quais aprisionaram com grilhões a Manassés, e acorrentado com correntes levaram-no a Babilônia.
12 There, while he was suffering, he humbled himself greatly in the presence of Yahweh, the God whom his ancestors [worshiped], and pleaded with Yahweh to help him.
Mas logo que foi posto em angústias, orou ante o SENHOR seu Deus, humilhado grandemente na presença do Deus de seus pais.
13 When he prayed, Yahweh heard him and pitied him. So he [allowed him to] return to Jerusalem and [to] rule his kingdom again. Then Manasseh realized that Yahweh is [an all-powerful] God.
E havendo a ele orado, foi atendido; pois que ouviu sua oração, e voltou-o a Jerusalém, a seu reino. Então conheceu Manassés que o SENHOR era Deus.
14 Later, Manasseh’s [workers] rebuilt the eastern section of the outer wall around Jerusalem, and [they] made it higher. That section extended from Gihon Spring [north] to the Fish Gate, and around the part of the city that they called Ophel [Hill]. Manasseh also appointed army officers to guard each of the cities in Judah that had walls around them.
Depois disto edificou o muro de fora da cidade de Davi, ao ocidente de Giom, no vale, à entrada da porta do peixe, e cercou a Ofel, e levantou-o muito alto; e pôs capitães de exército em todas as cidades fortes por Judá.
15 Manasseh’s [workers] removed from the temple the idols and the stone statues of gods of other nations. Manasseh also [told them to] remove the altars that they had previously built on Zion Hill and in [other places in] Jerusalem. He had all those things thrown out of the city.
Também tirou os deuses alheios, e o ídolo da casa do SENHOR, e todos os altares que havia edificado no monte da casa do SENHOR e em Jerusalém, e lançou-os fora da cidade.
16 Then he [told them to] repair the altar of Yahweh, and he offered sacrifices to restore fellowship with Yahweh and to thank him. And he told [the people of] Judah that they must worship [only] Yahweh.
Reparou logo o altar do SENHOR, e sacrificou sobre ele sacrifícios pacíficos e de louvor; e mandou a Judá que servissem ao SENHOR Deus de Israel.
17 The people continued to offer sacrifices on the hilltops, but only to Yahweh their God.
Porém o povo ainda sacrificava nos altos, ainda que somente ao SENHOR seu Deus.
18 The other things that happened while Manasseh was ruling, including his prayer to God and the messages from Yahweh that the prophets gave to him, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Os demais dos feitos de Manassés, e sua oração a seu Deus, e as palavras dos videntes que lhe falaram em nome do SENHOR o Deus de Israel, eis que tudo está escrito nos feitos dos reis de Israel.
19 What Manasseh prayed and how God pitied him because he pleaded to God, and also his sins and ways in which he disobeyed God, and the [list of] places where he built shrines and set up poles to [honor the goddess] Asherah and other idols [before he humbled himself], are written in what the prophets wrote.
Sua oração também, e como foi ouvido, todos seus pecados, e sua transgressão, os lugares de onde edificou altos e havia posto bosques e ídolos antes que se humilhasse, eis que estas coisas estão escritas nas palavras dos videntes.
20 Manasseh died and was buried in his palace. Then his son Amon became the king [of Judah].
E descansou Manassés com seus pais, e sepultaram-no em sua casa: e reinou em seu lugar Amom seu filho.
21 Amon was 22 years old when he became king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for two years.
De vinte e dois anos era Amom quando começou a reinar, e dois anos reinou em Jerusalém.
22 He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like his father Manasseh had done. Amon worshiped all the idols that Manasseh’s [workers] had made.
E fez o que era mau em olhos do SENHOR, como havia feito Manassés seu pai: porque a todos os ídolos que seu pai Manassés havia feito, sacrificou e serviu Amom.
23 But he did not humble himself and turn to Yahweh like his father did. So he became more sinful than his father had been.
Mas nunca se humilhou diante do SENHOR, como se humilhou Manassés seu pai: antes aumentou o pecado.
24 Then Amon’s officials made plans to kill him. They assassinated him in his palace.
E conspiraram contra ele seus servos, e mataram-no em sua casa.
25 But then the people of Judah killed all those who had assassinated Amon, and they appointed his son Josiah to be their king.
Mas o povo da terra feriu a todos os que haviam conspirado contra o rei Amom; e o povo da terra pôs por rei em seu lugar a Josias seu filho.
