2 Kings 14
1 After Jehoash had been ruling Israel for almost two years, Joash’s son Amaziah became the king of Judah.
No segundo ano de Jehoás, filho de Joachaz, rei de Israel, começou a reinar Amasias, filho de Joás, rei de Judá.
2 He was 25 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 29 years. His mother was Jehoaddin; she was from Jerusalem.
Tinha vinte e cinco anos quando começou a reinar, e vinte e nove anos reinou em Jerusalém. E era o nome de sua mãe Joaddan, de Jerusalém.
3 Amaziah did many things that pleased Yahweh, but he did not do as many things that pleased Yahweh as King David had done. He did some of the good things that his father Joash had done.
E fez o que era reto aos olhos do Senhor, ainda que não como seu pai David: fez porém conforme tudo o que fizera Joás seu pai.
4 But, [like his father, ] he did not tear down the places for worshipping Yahweh at pagan shrines. The people continued to burn incense [to honor Yahweh] on those hills [instead of in Jerusalem, the place that Yahweh had appointed].
Tão somente os altos se não tiraram; porque ainda o povo sacrificava e queimava incenso nos altos.
5 As soon as he was completely in control of his kingdom, he caused to be executed the officials who had murdered his father.
Sucedeu pois que, sendo já o reino confirmado na sua mão, matou os seus servos que tinham morto o rei seu pai.
6 But he did not execute their children. He obeyed what was written in the laws that God gave to Moses: “Parents must not be executed for [the crimes/sins committed by] their children, and children must not be executed for [crimes/sins committed by] their parents. People must be executed only for the sins that they themselves [have committed].”
Porém os filhos dos matadores não matou, como está escrito no livro da lei de Moisés, no qual o Senhor deu ordem, dizendo: Não matarão os pais por causa dos filhos, e os filhos não matarão por causa dos pais; mas cada um será morto pelo seu pecado.
7 Amaziah’s soldiers killed 10,000 soldiers of the Edom people-group in the Salt Valley [south of the Dead Sea], and they captured Sela [city] and gave it a new name, Joktheel. That is still its name.
Este feriu a dez mil edomitas no vale do Sal, e tomou a Sela na guerra: e chamou o seu nome Jocteel, até ao dia de hoje.
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to King Jehoash of Israel, saying “Come here and let’s talk together.”
Então Amasias, enviou mensageiros a Jehoás, filho de Joachaz, filho de Jehu, rei de Israel, dizendo: Vem, vejamo-nos cara a cara.
9 But King Jehoash replied to King Amaziah: “Once a thornbush growing [in the mountains] in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar tree, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son in order that he may marry her.’ But a wild animal in Lebanon passed by the thornbush and trampled it.
Porém Jehoás, rei de Israel, enviou a Amasias, rei de Judá, dizendo: O cardo que está no líbano enviou ao cedro que está no líbano, dizendo: Dá tua filha por mulher a meu filho: mas os animais do campo, que eram no líbano, passaram e pizaram o cardo.
10 [The meaning of what I am saying is that] your army has defeated the army of Edom, so now you have become very proud. But you should be content with defeating the people of Edom, and allow your soldiers to stay at home. If you cause trouble [by fighting against] us, you will surely [RHQ] cause a disaster to happen to you and to your people.”
Na verdade feriste os moabitas, e o teu coração se ensoberbeceu: glória-te disso, e fica em tua casa; e porque te entremeterias no mal, para caires tu, e Judá contigo?
11 But Amaziah refused to heed Jehoash’s message. So he marched with his army to fight against the Israeli army at Beth-Shemesh [city] in Judah.
Mas Amasias não o ouviu: e subiu Jehoás, rei de Israel, e Amasias, rei de Judá, e viram-se cara a cara, em Beth-semes, que está em Judá.
12 The Israeli army defeated the army of Judah, and all the soldiers of Judah fled and ran back home.
E Judá foi ferido diante de Israel, e fugiu cada um para as suas tendas.
13 Jehoash’s army also captured King Amaziah there, and they also marched to Jerusalem and tore down the wall that was around the city, from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate. That was a section that was about (200 yards/180 meters) long.
E Jehoás, rei de Israel, tomou a Amasias, rei de Judá, filho de Joás, filho de Achazias, em Beth-semes: e veio a Jerusalém, e rompeu o muro de Jerusalém, desde a porta de Ephraim até à porta da esquina, quatrocentos côvados.
14 Jehoash’s soldiers seized all the gold and silver that they found, and all the utensils that were in the temple, and all the valuable things that were in the palace, and took them to Samaria. They also took to Samaria some prisoners whom they had captured.
E tomou todo o ouro e a prata, e todos os vasos que se acharam na casa do Senhor e nos tesouros da casa do rei, como também os reféns: e voltou para Samaria.
15 [If you want to know about] all the other things that Jehoash did when he was king, including when he [and his army] fought against [the army of] King Amaziah of Judah, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Ora o mais dos sucessos de Jehoás, o que fez, e o seu poder, e como pelejou contra Amasias, rei de Judá, porventura não está escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel?
16 Jehoash died [EUP], and he was buried in Samaria, where the other kings of Israel had been buried. Then his son Jeroboam became the king.
E dormiu Jehoás com seus pais, e foi sepultado em Samaria, junto aos reis de Israel: e Jeroboão, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
17 Amaziah, the king of Judah, lived for 15 more years after Jehoash, the king of Israel, died.
E viveu Amasias, filho de Jehoás, rei de Judá, depois da morte de Jehoás, filho de Joachaz, rei de Israel, quinze anos.
18 [If you want to know more about] everything else that Amaziah did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Ora o mais dos sucessos de Amasias, porventura não está escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?
19 Some people in Jerusalem plotted against Amaziah, so he fled to Lachish [city]. But they followed him there and killed him.
E conspiraram contra ele em Jerusalém, e fugiu para Lachis; porém enviaram após ele até Lachis, e o mataram ali.
20 They took his corpse back to Jerusalem and buried it where his ancestors had been buried, in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’.
E o trouxeram em cima de cavalos: e o sepultaram em Jerusalém, junto a seus pais, na cidade de David.
21 Then all the people of Judah appointed Amaziah’s son Uzziah, when he was 16 years old, to be their king
E todo o povo de Judá tomou a Azarias, que já era de dezeseis anos, e o fizeram rei em lugar de Amasias, seu pai.
22 After his father died, Uzziah’s workers captured Elath [city], and it came under the control of Judah again.
Este edificou a Elath, e a restituiu a Judá, depois que o rei dormiu com seus pais.
23 When Amaziah had been ruling Judah for almost 15 years, Jeroboam became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for 41 years.
No décimo quinto ano de Amasias, filho de Joás, rei de Judá, começou a reinar em Samaria, Jeroboão, filho de Jehoás rei de Israel e reinou quarenta e um anos.
24 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did not stop committing the same kind of sins that Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, committed, sins which led the Israeli people to sin also.
E fez o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor: nunca se apartou de nenhum dos pecados de Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, que fez pecar a Israel.
25 His soldiers conquered again some of the territory that had previously belonged to Israel, from Hamath [city] in the north to the Dead Sea in the south. That is what Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis worshiped, promised the prophet Jonah, the son of Amittai, from Gath-Hepher [town], would happen.
Também este restituiu os termos de Israel, desde a entrada de Hamath até ao mar da planície: conforme a palavra do Senhor, Deus de Israel, a qual falara pelo ministério de seu servo Jonas, filho do profeta Amithai, o qual era de Gath-hepher.
26 That happened because Yahweh saw that [the Israelis’ enemies were causing] the Israelis [to] suffer very much. And there was absolutely no one [IDM] who would help them.
Porque viu o Senhor que a miséria de Israel era mui amarga, e que nem havia encerrado, nem desamparado, nem quem ajudasse a Israel.
27 But Yahweh said that he would not destroy Israel completely, so he enabled King Jeroboam to rescue them.
E ainda não falara o Senhor em apagar o nome de Israel de debaixo do céu; porém os livrou por mão de Jeroboão, filho de Joás
28 [If you want to know more about] everything else that Jeroboam did, [about] his fighting courageously in battles, and [about] his [enabling the Israelis to] capture again Damascus and Hamath [cities], they are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Ora o mais dos sucessos de Jeroboão, tudo quanto fez, e seu poder, como pelejou, e como restituiu a Damasco e a Hamath, pertencentes a Judá, sendo rei em Israel, porventura não está escrito no livro das crônicas de Israel?
29 Jeroboam died [EUP], [and was buried] where the other kings of Israel [were buried], and his son Zechariah became the king.
E Jeroboão dormiu com seus pais, com os reis de Israel: e Zacarias, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
