2 Chronicles 16
1 In the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
No ano trinta e seis do reinado de Asa, subiu Baasa rei de Israel contra Judá, e edificou a Ramá, para não deixar sair nem entrar a ninguém ao rei Asa, rei de Judá.
2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of Yahweh’s house and of the king’s house, and sent to Ben Hadad king of Syria, who lived at Damascus, saying,
Então tirou Asa a prata e o ouro dos tesouros da casa do SENHOR e da casa real, e enviou a Ben-Hadade rei da Síria, que estava em Damasco, dizendo:
3 “Let there be a treaty between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.”
Haja aliança entre mim e ti, como a havia entre meu pai e teu pai; eis que eu te enviei prata e ouro, para que venhas e desfaças a aliança que tens com Baasa rei de Israel, a fim de que se retire de mim.
4 Ben Hadad listened to King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they struck Ijon, Dan, Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali.
E consentiu Ben-Hadade com o rei Asa, e enviou os capitães de seus exércitos à cidades de Israel: e atacaram a Ijom, Dã, e Abel-Maim, e as cidades fortes de Naftali.
5 When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and let his work cease.
E ouvindo isto Baasa, cessou de edificar a Ramá, e deixou sua obra.
6 Then Asa the king took all Judah, and they carried away the stones and timber of Ramah, with which Baasha had built; and he built Geba and Mizpah with them.
Então o rei Asa tomou a todo Judá, e levaram-se de Ramá a pedra e madeira com que Baasa edificava, e com ela edificou a Geba e Mispá.
7 At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, “Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on Yahweh your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped out of your hand.
Naquele tempo veio Hanani vidente a Asa rei de Judá, e disse-lhe: Por quanto te apoiaste no rei de Síria, e não te apoiaste no SENHOR teu Deus, por isso o exército do rei da Síria escapou de tuas mãos.
8 Weren’t the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge army, with chariots and exceedingly many horsemen? Yet, because you relied on Yahweh, he delivered them into your hand.
Os etíopes e os líbios, não eram um exército numerosíssimo, com carros e muitos cavaleiros? Contudo, porque te apoiaste no SENHOR, ele os entregou em tuas mãos.
9 For Yahweh’s eyes run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. You have done foolishly in this; for from now on you will have wars.”
Porque os olhos do SENHOR contemplam toda a terra, para corroborar aos que têm coração íntegro com ele. Loucamente fizeste nisso; porque de agora em diante haverá guerra contra ti.
10 Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in the prison; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.
E irou-se Asa contra o vidente, lançou-o na casa do cárcere, porque foi em extremo incomodado por causa disto. E oprimiu Asa naquele tempo alguns do povo.
11 Behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Mas eis que, os feitos de Asa, primeiros e últimos, estão escritos no livro dos reis de Judá e de Israel.
12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa was diseased in his feet. His disease was exceedingly great; yet in his disease he didn’t seek Yahweh, but just the physicians.
E o ano trinta e nove de seu reinado enfermou Asa dos pés para acima, e em sua enfermidade não buscou ao SENHOR, mas sim aos médicos.
13 Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the forty-first year of his reign.
E descansou Asa com seus pais, e morreu no ano quarenta e um de seu reinado.
14 They buried him in his own tomb, which he had dug out for himself in David’s city, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odors and various kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers’ art; and they made a very great fire for him.
E sepultaram-no em seus sepulcros que ele havia feito para si na cidade de Davi; e puseram-no em uma cama, a qual encheram de aromas e artefatos com fragrâncias, preparadas por perfumistas; e fizeram uma grande fogueira em sua homenagem.
