2 Kings 21
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to rule. He ruled Judah for 55 years from Jerusalem. His mother was Hephzibah.
De doze anos era Manassés quando começou a reinar, e reinou em Jerusalém cinquenta e cinco anos: o nome de sua mãe foi Hefzibá.
2 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He imitated the disgusting things that were formerly done by the people of the nations that Yahweh had expelled from the land of Israel as his people advanced [through the land].
E fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, segundo as abominações das nações que o SENHOR havia lançado diante dos filhos de Israel.
3 He commanded his workers to rebuild the shrines [for worshiping Yahweh] that his father Hezekiah had destroyed [because they were not in the place that Yahweh had said they should worship him]. He directed his workers to build altars for worshiping Baal. He made [a statue of the goddess] Asherah, like Ahab the king of Israel had done [previously]. And Manasseh worshiped [DOU] the stars.
Porque ele voltou a edificar os altos que Ezequias seu pai havia derrubado, e levantou altares a Baal, e fez bosque, como havia feito Acabe rei de Israel: e adorou a todo o exército do céu, e serviu àquelas coisas.
4 He directed his workers to build altars [for worshiping foreign gods] in the temple of Yahweh, about which Yahweh had said, “It is here in Jerusalem where I want people to worship [MTY] me, forever.”
Também edificou altares na casa do SENHOR, da qual o SENHOR havia dito: Eu porei meu nome em Jerusalém.
5 He directed that altars for worshiping the stars be built in both of the courtyards outside the temple.
E edificou altares para todo o exército do céu nos dois átrios da casa do SENHOR.
6 He even sacrificed his own son by burning [him in a fire]. He performed rituals to practice sorcery and magic rituals. He also went to people who consulted the spirits of dead people to find out what would happen in the future. He did many things that Yahweh considered to be extremely evil, things that caused Yahweh to become very angry.
E passou a seu filho por fogo, e olhou em tempos, e foi agoureiro, e instituiu necromantes e adivinhos, multiplicando assim o fazer o mal aos olhos do SENHOR, para provocá-lo à ira.
7 He placed the statue of the goddess Asherah in the temple, the place about which Yahweh had said to David and his son Solomon, “My temple will be here in Jerusalem. This is the city that I have chosen from all the territory of the twelve tribes of Israel, where I want people to worship me, forever.
E pôs uma imagem entalhada do bosque que ele havia feito, na casa da qual havia o SENHOR dito a Davi e a Salomão seu filho: Eu porei meu nome para sempre nesta casa, e em Jerusalém, à qual escolhi de todas as tribos de Israel:
8 And if the Israeli people obey all my commands and all the laws that I gave to Moses, the man who served me [very well], I will not again force them to leave this land that I gave to their ancestors.”
E não voltarei a fazer que o pé de Israel seja movido da terra que dei a seus pais, contanto que guardem e façam conforme a todas as coisas que eu lhes mandei, e conforme a toda a lei que meu servo Moisés lhes mandou.
9 But the people did not heed Yahweh. And Manasseh persuaded them to commit sins that are more evil than the sins that were committed by the people of the nations that Yahweh had expelled from the land as the Israeli people advanced.
Mas eles não escutaram; e Manassés os induziu a que fizessem mais mal que as nações que o SENHOR destruiu diante dos filhos de Israel.
10 [These are some of the things that] the prophets said many times, messages that Yahweh had given them:
E falou o SENHOR por meio de seus servos os profetas, dizendo:
11 “Manasseh, the king of Judah, has done these abominable things, things that are much worse than the things that the Amor people-group did in this land long ago. He has persuaded the people of Judah to sin by [worshiping] idols.
Porquanto Manassés rei de Judá fez estas abominações, e fez mais mal que tudo o que fizeram os amorreus que foram antes dele, e também fez pecar a Judá em seus ídolos;
12 Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh, the God whom you Israeli people worship, say: I will the cause the people of Jerusalem and the rest of Judah to experience great disasters. It will be terrible, with the result that everyone who hears about it will be stunned [MTY].
Portanto, assim disse o SENHOR o Deus de Israel: Eis que eu trago tal mal sobre Jerusalém e sobre Judá, que o que o ouvir, lhe retinirão ambos ouvidos.
13 I will judge and punish [MET] the people of Jerusalem like I punished the family of King Ahab [of Israel]. I will (wipe Jerusalem clean/remove all the people from Jerusalem), like [MET] people wipe a plate and then turn it upside down [after they have finished eating, to show that they are now satisfied].
E estenderei sobre Jerusalém o cordel de Samaria, e o prumo da casa de Acabe: e eu limparei a Jerusalém como se limpa um prato, que depois que o limpam, viram-no sobre sua face.
14 And I will abandon the people who remain alive, and I will allow their enemies to conquer them and steal everything valuable from their land.
E desampararei os restantes de minha propriedade, e os entregarei em mãos de seus inimigos; e serão para saque e para roubo a todos seus adversários;
15 I will do this because my people have done things that I consider to be very evil, things which have caused me to become very angry. They have caused me to become angry continually, ever since their ancestors left Egypt.”
Porquanto fizeram o mal aos meus olhos, e me provocaram à ira, desde o dia que seus pais saíram do Egito até hoje.
16 Manasseh [commanded his officials to] kill many innocent people in Jerusalem, with the result that their blood flowed in the streets. He did this in addition to persuading the people of Judah to sin against Yahweh [by worshiping idols].
Além disso, derramou Manassés muito sangue inocente em grande maneira, até encher a Jerusalém de extremidade a extremidade; além de seu pecado com que fez pecar a Judá, para que fizesse o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR.
17 [If you want to know more about] all the things that Manasseh did, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Os demais dos feitos de Manassés, e todas as coisas que fez, e seu pecado que cometeu, não está tudo escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?
18 Manasseh died [EUP] and was buried in the garden outside his palace, the garden that Uzza [had made]. Then Manasseh’s son Amon became the king.
E descansou Manassés com seus pais, e foi sepultado no jardim de sua casa, no jardim de Uzá; e reinou em seu lugar Amom seu filho.
19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king. He ruled Judah from Jerusalem for [only] two years. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth. She was from Jotbah [town], and was the granddaughter of Haruz.
De vinte e dois anos era Amom quando começou a reinar, e reinou dois anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe foi Mesulemete filha de Haruz de Jotbá.
20 Amon did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like his father Manasseh had done.
E fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, como havia feito Manassés seu pai.
21 He imitated the behavior of his father, and he worshiped the same idols that his father had worshiped [DOU].
E andou em todos os caminhos em que seu pai andou, e serviu às imundícias às quais havia servido seu pai, e a elas adorou;
22 He abandoned Yahweh, the God whom his ancestors [had worshiped], and did not behave as Yahweh wanted him to.
E deixou ao SENHOR o Deus de seus pais, e não andou no caminho do SENHOR.
23 Then one day some of his officials plotted to kill him. They assassinated him in the palace.
E os servos de Amom conspiraram contra ele, e mataram ao rei em sua casa.
24 But then the people of Judah killed all those who had assassinated King Amon, and they appointed his son Josiah to be their king.
Então o povo da terra feriu a todos os que haviam conspirado contra o rei Amom; e pôs o povo da terra por rei em seu lugar a Josias seu filho.
25 [If you want to read about] [RHQ] the other things that Amon did, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Os demais dos feitos de Amom, que efetuara, não está tudo escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?
26 Amon was also buried in the tomb in the garden that Uzza [had made]. Then Amon’s son Josiah became the king.
E foi sepultado em seu sepulcro no jardim de Uzá, e reinou em seu lugar Josias seu filho.
