2 Chronicles 33
1 Manasseh was 12 years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled from Jerusalem for 55 years.
Manasseh tinha doze anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e reinou cinqüenta e cinco anos 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].
Ele fez o que era mau aos olhos de Javé, após as abominações das nações que Javé expulsou 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.
Pois ele construiu novamente os lugares altos que Ezequias seu pai havia destruído; e levantou altares para os Baal, fez Asheroth, e adorou todo o exército do céu, e os 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.”
Ele construiu altares na casa de Javé, dos quais Javé disse: “Meu nome estará para sempre em Jerusalém”.
5 He directed that altars for [worshiping] all the stars be built in both of the courtyards outside the temple.
Ele construiu altares para todo o exército do céu nas duas cortes da casa de Iavé.
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.
Ele também fez seus filhos passarem pelo fogo no vale do filho de Hinnom. Ele praticou feitiçaria, adivinhação e feitiçaria e lidou com aqueles que tinham espíritos familiares e com feiticeiros. Ele fez muito mal aos olhos de Iavé, para provocá-lo à raiva.
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.
Ele colocou a imagem gravada do ídolo, que ele havia feito, na casa de Deus, da qual Deus disse a Davi e a Salomão seu filho: “Nesta casa, e em Jerusalém, que escolhi dentre 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.”
Não removerei mais o pé de Israel da terra que designei para seus pais, se apenas eles observarem para fazer tudo o que lhes ordenei, mesmo toda a lei, os estatutos e as ordenanças dadas por 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].
Manassés seduziu Judá e os habitantes de Jerusalém, de modo que fizeram mais mal do que as nações que Javé destruiu diante dos filhos de Israel.
10 Yahweh spoke to Manasseh and the people of Judah, but they paid no attention.
Yahweh falou com Manasseh e com seu povo, mas eles não ouviram.
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.
Portanto, Javé trouxe sobre eles os capitães do exército do rei da Assíria, que levaram Manassés acorrentado, amarraram-no com grilhões e o levaram para 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.
Quando estava em perigo, implorou a Javé seu Deus, e se humilhou muito diante 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.
Ele rezou a ele; e foi por ele tratado, ouviu sua súplica e o trouxe novamente a Jerusalém para seu reino. Então Manassés sabia que Yahweh 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.
Agora, depois disso, ele construiu uma muralha externa para a cidade de David no lado oeste de Gihon, no vale, até a entrada do portão do peixe. Ele cercou Ophel com ela, e a elevou a uma altura muito grande; e colocou capitães valentes em todas as cidades fortificadas de 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.
Ele tirou os deuses estrangeiros e o ídolo da casa de Iavé, e todos os altares que ele havia construído na montanha da casa de Iavé e em Jerusalém, e os expulsou 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.
Ele construiu o altar de Iavé e ofereceu sacrifícios de ofertas de paz e de ação de graças sobre ele, e ordenou a Judá que servisse a Iavé, o Deus de Israel.
17 The people continued to offer sacrifices on the hilltops, but only to Yahweh their God.
Mesmo assim o povo ainda se sacrificava nos lugares altos, mas somente a Iavé 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’.
Agora o resto dos atos de Manassés, e sua oração ao seu Deus, e as palavras dos videntes que lhe falaram em nome de Iavé, o Deus de Israel, eis que estão escritos entre os atos 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 Deus escutou seu pedido, e todo seu pecado e sua transgressão, e os lugares em que ele construiu lugares altos e ergueu os postes de cinza e as imagens gravadas antes de se humilhar: eis que estão escritas na história de Hozai.
20 Manasseh died and was buried in his palace. Then his son Amon became the king [of Judah].
So Manasseh dormiu com seus pais, e eles o enterraram em sua própria casa; e Amon seu filho reinou em seu lugar.
21 Amon was 22 years old when he became king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for two years.
Amon tinha vinte e dois anos quando começou a reinar; e reinou dois anos 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.
Ele fez o que era mau aos olhos de Iavé, assim como Manassés seu pai; e Amon sacrificou a todas as imagens gravadas que Manassés seu pai tinha feito, e as serviu.
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.
Ele não se humilhou perante Iavé, como Manassés seu pai se humilhou; mas este mesmo Amon transgrediu cada vez mais.
24 Then Amon’s officials made plans to kill him. They assassinated him in his palace.
Seus servos conspiraram contra ele, e o mataram em sua própria 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 matou todos aqueles que haviam conspirado contra o rei Amon; e o povo da terra fez de Josias seu filho rei em seu lugar.
