2 Crônicas 15
1 Então veiu o Espirito de Deus sobre Azarias, filho d'Obed.
And the Spirit of God has been on Azariah son of Oded,
2 E saiu ao encontro d'Asa, e disse-lhe: Ouvi-me, Asa, e todo o Judah e Benjamin: O Senhor está comvosco, emquanto vós estaes com elle, e, se o buscardes, o achareis; porém, se o deixardes, vos deixará.
and he goes out before Asa and says to him, “Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; YHWH [is] with you—in your being with Him, and if you seek Him, He is found by you, and if you forsake Him, He forsakes you;
3 E Israel esteve por muitos dias sem o verdadeiro Deus, e sem sacerdote que o ensinasse, e sem lei.
and many days [are] to Israel without [the] true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law,
4 Mas quando na sua angustia se convertiam ao Senhor, Deus d'Israel, e o buscavam, o achavam.
and it turns back in its distress to YHWH, God of Israel, and they seek Him, and He is found by them,
5 E n'aquelles tempos não havia paz, nem para o que sahia, nem para o que entrava, mas muitas perturbações sobre todos os habitantes d'aquellas terras.
and in those times there is no peace for him who is going out, and for him who is coming in, for many troubles [are] on all the inhabitants of the lands,
6 Porque gente contra gente, e cidade contra cidade se despedaçavam; porque Deus os perturbara com toda a angustia.
and they have been beaten down, nation by nation, and city by city, for God has troubled them with every adversity;
7 Mas esforçae-vos, e não desfaleçam as vossas mãos; porque a vossa obra tem uma recompensa.
and you, be strong, and do not let your hands be feeble, for there is a reward for your work.”
8 Ouvindo pois Asa estas palavras, e a prophecia do propheta, filho d'Obed, esforçou-se, e tirou as abominações de toda a terra de Judah e de Benjamin, como tambem das cidades que tomára nas montanhas d'Ephraim: e renovou o altar do Senhor, que estava diante do portico do Senhor.
And at Asa’s hearing these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he has strengthened himself, and causes the abominations to pass away out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities that he has captured from the hill-country of Ephraim, and renews the altar of YHWH that [is] before the porch of YHWH,
9 E ajuntou a todo o Judah, e Benjamin, e com elles os estrangeiros d'Ephraim e Manasseh, e de Simeão; porque d'Israel descahiam a elle em grande numero, vendo que o Senhor seu Deus era com elle.
and gathers all Judah and Benjamin, and the sojourners with them out of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and out of Simeon—for they have defected to him from Israel in abundance, in their seeing that his God YHWH [is] with him.
10 E ajuntaram-se em Jerusalem no terceiro mez; no anno decimo do reinado d'Asa.
And they are gathered to Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,
11 E no mesmo dia offereceram em sacrificio ao Senhor, do despojo que trouxeram, seiscentos bois e seis mil ovelhas.
and sacrifice to YHWH on that day from the spoil they have brought in—seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep,
12 E entraram no concerto de buscarem o Senhor, Deus de seus paes, com todo o seu coração, e com toda a sua alma;
and they enter into a covenant to seek YHWH, God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul,
13 E de que todo aquelle que não buscasse ao Senhor, Deus d'Israel, morresse; desde o menor até ao maior, e desde o homem até á mulher.
and everyone who does not seek for YHWH, God of Israel, is put to death, from small to great, from man to woman.
14 E juraram ao Senhor, em alta voz, com jubilo e com trombetas e buzinas.
And they swear to YHWH with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with horns,
15 E todo o Judah se alegrou d'este juramento; porque com todo o seu coração juraram, e com toda a sua vontade o buscaram, e o acharam: e o Senhor lhes deu repouso em redor.
and all Judah rejoices concerning the oath, for they have sworn with all their heart, and they have sought Him with all their goodwill, and He is found by them, and YHWH gives rest to them all around.
16 E tambem a Maaca, mãe do rei Asa, elle a depoz, para que não fosse mais rainha; porquanto fizera a Aserá um horrivel idolo; e Asa destruiu o seu horrivel idolo, e o despedaçou, e o queimou junto ao ribeiro de Cedron.
And also Maachah, mother of Asa the king—he has removed her from [being] mistress, in that she has made for an Asherah a horrible thing, and Asa cuts down her horrible thing, and beats [it] small, and burns [it] by the Brook of Kidron:
17 Os altos porém não se tiraram d'Israel; comtudo o coração d'Asa foi perfeito todos os seus dias.
yet the high places have not been removed from Israel; only, the heart of Asa has been perfect all his days.
18 E trouxe as coisas que tinha consagrado seu pae, e as coisas que mesmo tinha consagrado á casa de Deus: prata, e oiro, e vasos.
And he brings in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of God: silver, and gold, and vessels.
19 E não houve guerra até ao anno trigesimo quinto do reino d'Asa.
And war has not been until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
