2 Crônicas 13

1 No anno decimo oitavo do rei Jeroboão reinou Abias sobre Israel.

In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, Abia reigned over Juda.

2 Tres annos reinou em Jerusalem; e era o nome de sua mãe Michaia, filha d'Uriel de Gibea: e houve guerra entre Abias e Jeroboão.

Three years he reigned in Jerusalem, and his mother’s name was Michaia, the daughter of Uriel of Gabaa: and there was war between Abia and Jeroboam.

3 E Abias ordenou a peleja com um exercito de varões bellicosos, de quatrocentos mil homens escolhidos: e Jeroboão dispoz contra elle a batalha de oitocentos mil homens escolhidos, todos varões valentes.

And when Abia had begun battle, and had with him four hundred thousand most valiant and chosen men, Jeroboam put his army in array against him, eight hundred thousand men, who were also chosen and most valiant for war.

4 E poz-se Abias em pé em cima do monte de Zemaraim, que está na montanha d'Ephraim, e disse: Ouvi-me, Jeroboão e todo o Israel:

And Abia stood upon mount Semeron, which was in Ephraim, and said: Hear me, O Jeroboam, and all Israel:

5 Porventura não vos convem saber que o Senhor Deus d'Israel deu para sempre a David a soberania sobre Israel, a elle e a seus filhos, por um concerto de sal?

Do you not know that the Lord God of Israel gave to David the kingdom over Israel for ever, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?

6 Comtudo levantou-se Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, servo de Salomão, filho de David, e se rebellou contra seu senhor.

And Jeroboam the son of Nabat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up: and rebelled against his lord.

7 E ajuntaram-se a elle homens vadios, filhos de Belial; e fortificaram-se contra Roboão, filho de Salomão, sendo Roboão ainda mancebo, e terno de coração, e não se podia esforçar contra elles.

And there were gathered to him vain men, and children of Belial: and they prevailed against Roboam the son of Solomon: for Roboam was unexperienced, and of a fearful heart, and could not resist them.

8 E agora cuidaes d'esforçar-vos contra o reino do Senhor, que está na mão dos filhos de David: bem sois vós uma grande multidão, e tendes comvosco os bezerros d'oiro que Jeroboão vos fez para deuses.

And now you say that you are able to withstand the kingdom of the Lord, which he possesseth by the sons of David, and you have a great multitude of people, and golden calves, which Jeroboam hath made you for gods.

9 Não lançastes vós fora os sacerdotes do Senhor, os filhos d'Aarão, e os levitas, e não fizestes para vós sacerdotes, como as gentes das outras terras? qualquer que vem a consagrar-se com um novilho e sete carneiros logo se faz sacerdote d'aquelles que não são deuses.

And you have cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites: and you have made you priests, like all the nations of the earth: whosoever cometh and consecrateth his hand with a bullock of the herd, and with seven rams, is made a priest of those who are no gods.

10 Porém, quanto a nós, o Senhor é nosso Deus, e nunca o deixámos: e os sacerdotes, que ministram ao Senhor são filhos d'Aarão, e os levitas se occupam na sua obra.

But the Lord is our God, whom we forsake not, and the priests who minister to the Lord are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites are in their order.

11 E queimam ao Senhor cada manhã e cada tarde holocaustos, incenso aromatico, com os pães da proposição sobre a mesa pura, e o castiçal d'oiro, e as suas alampadas para se accenderem cada tarde, porque nós temos cuidado do serviço do Senhor nosso Deus; porém vós o deixastes.

And they offer holocausts to the Lord, every day, morning and evening, and incense made according to the ordinance of the law, and the leaves are set forth on a most clean table, and there is with us the golden candlestick, and the lamps thereof, to be lighted always in the evening: for we keep the precepts of the Lord our God, whom you have forsaken.

12 E eis-que Deus está comnosco na dianteira, como tambem os seus sacerdotes, tocando com as trombetas, para dar alarme contra vós, ó filhos d'Israel; não pelejeis contra o Senhor Deus de vossos paes; porque não prosperareis.

Therefore God is the leader in our army, and his priests who sound with trumpets, and resound against you: O children of Israel, fight not against the Lord the God of your fathers, for it is not good for you.

13 Mas Jeroboão fez uma emboscada em volta, para darem sobre elles por detraz; de maneira que estavam defronte de Judah e a emboscada por detraz d'elles.

While he spoke these things, Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind him. And while he stood facing the enemies, he encompassed Juda. who perceived it not, with his army.

14 Então Judah olhou, e eis-que tinham a pelejar por diante e por detraz: então clamaram ao Senhor; e os sacerdotes tocaram as trombetas.

And when Juda looked back, they saw the battle coming upon them both before and behind, and they cried to the Lord: and the priests began to sound with the trumpets.

15 E os homens de Judah gritaram: e succedeu que, gritando os homens de Judah, Deus feriu a Jeroboão e a todo o Israel diante d'Abias e de Judah.

And all the men of Juda shouted: and behold when they shouted, God terrified Jeroboam, and all Israel that stood against Abia and Juda.

16 E os filhos d'Israel fugiram de diante de Judah; e Deus os entregou na sua mão.

And the children of Israel fled before Juda, and the Lord delivered them into their hand.

17 De maneira que Abias e o seu povo fez grande estrago entre elles; porque cairam feridos d'Israel quinhentos mil homens escolhidos.

And Abia and his people slew them with a great slaughter, and there fell wounded of Israel five hundred thousand valiant men.

18 E foram abatidos os filhos d'Israel n'aquelle tempo; e os filhos de Judah prevaleceram porque confiaram no Senhor Deus de seus paes.

And the children of Israel were brought down, at that time, and the children of Juda were exceedingly strengthened, because they had trusted in the Lord the God of their fathers.

19 E Abias seguiu após Jeroboão; e tomou a Bethel com os logares da sua jurisdicção, e a Jesana com os logares da sua jurisdicção, e a Ephron com os logares da sua jurisdicção.

And Abia pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel and her daughters, and Jesana with her daughters, Ephron also and her daughters.

20 E Jeroboão não reteve mais nenhuma força nos dias d'Abias: porém o Senhor o feriu, e morreu.

And Jeroboam was not able to resist any more, in the days of Abia: and the Lord struck him, and he died.

21 Abias pois se fortificou, e tomou para si quatorze mulheres, e gerou vinte e dois filhos e dezeseis filhas.

But Abia, being strengthened in his kingdom, took fourteen wives: and begot two and twenty sons, and sixteen daughters.

22 Os mais successos pois d'Abias, tanto os seus caminhos como as suas palavras, estão escriptos na historia do propheta Iddo.

And the rest of the acts of Abia, and of his ways and works, are written diligently in the book of Addo the prophet.
