2 Crônicas 15
1 Então veiu o Espirito de Deus sobre Azarias, filho d'Obed.
The Spirit of God came on Azariah the 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.
He went out to meet Asa, and said to him, “Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin! Yahweh is with you while you are with him; and if you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
3 E Israel esteve por muitos dias sem o verdadeiro Deus, e sem sacerdote que o ensinasse, e sem lei.
Now for a long time Israel was without the true God, 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.
But when in their distress they turned to Yahweh, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was 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.
In those times there was no peace to him who went out, nor to him who came in; but great troubles were 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.
They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God troubled them with all adversity.
7 Mas esforçae-vos, e não desfaleçam as vossas mãos; porque a vossa obra tem uma recompensa.
But you be strong! Don’t let your hands be slack, for your work will be rewarded.”
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.
When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from the hill country of Ephraim; and he renewed Yahweh’s altar that was before Yahweh’s porch.
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.
He gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who lived with them out of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon; for they came to him out of Israel in abundance when they saw that Yahweh his God was with him.
10 E ajuntaram-se em Jerusalem no terceiro mez; no anno decimo do reinado d'Asa.
So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.
11 E no mesmo dia offereceram em sacrificio ao Senhor, do despojo que trouxeram, seiscentos bois e seis mil ovelhas.
They sacrificed to Yahweh in that day, of the plunder which they had brought, seven hundred head of cattle 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;
They entered into the covenant to seek Yahweh, the 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 that whoever would not seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
14 E juraram ao Senhor, em alta voz, com jubilo e com trombetas e buzinas.
They swore to Yahweh with a loud voice, with shouting, with trumpets, and with cornets.
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.
All Judah rejoiced at the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found by them. Then Yahweh gave them rest 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.
Also Maacah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed from being queen mother, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; so Asa cut down her image, ground it into dust, and burned it at the brook Kidron.
17 Os altos porém não se tiraram d'Israel; comtudo o coração d'Asa foi perfeito todos os seus dias.
But the high places were not taken away out of Israel; nevertheless the heart of Asa was 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.
He brought the things that his father had dedicated and that he himself had dedicated, silver, gold, and vessels into God’s house.
19 E não houve guerra até ao anno trigesimo quinto do reino d'Asa.
There was no more war to the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.
