< 2 Crônicas 16 >
1 No anno trigesimo sexto do reinado d'Asa, Baása, rei d'Israel, subiu contra Judah e edificou a Rama, para ninguem deixar sair nem entrar a Asa, rei de Judah.
In the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.
2 Então tirou a Asa a prata e o oiro dos thesouros da casa de Deus, e da casa do rei; e enviou a Benhadad, rei da Syria, que habitava em Damasco, dizendo:
So Asa withdrew the silver and gold from the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he sent it with this message to Ben-hadad king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus:
3 Alliança ha entre mim e ti, como houve entre meu pae e teu: eis que te envio prata e oiro; vae, pois, e anniquila a tua alliança com Baása, rei d'Israel, para que se retire de sobre mim.
“Let there be a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. See, I have sent you silver and gold. Now go and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.”
4 E Benhadad deu ouvidos ao rei Asa, e enviou o capitão dos exercitos que tinha, contra as cidades d'Israel, e feriram a Ijon, e a Dan, e a Abelmaim; e a todas as cidades das munições de Naphtali.
And Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, conquering Ijon, Dan, Abel-maim, and all the store cities of Naphtali.
5 E succedeu que, ouvindo-o Baása, deixou d'edificar a Rama; e descontinuou a sua obra.
When Baasha learned of this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and abandoned his work.
6 Então o rei Asa tomou a todo o Judah e levaram as pedras de Rama, e a sua madeira, com que Baása edificara; e edificou com isto a Geba e a Mispah.
Then King Asa brought all the men of Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and the timbers Baasha had used for building. And with these materials he built up Geba and Mizpah.
7 N'aquelle mesmo tempo veiu Hanani, o vidente, a Asa rei de Judah, e disse-lhe: Porquanto confiaste no rei da Syria, e não confiaste no Senhor teu Deus, portanto o exercito do rei da Syria escapou da tua mão.
At that time Hanani the seer came to King Asa of Judah and told him, “Because you have relied on the king of Aram and not on the LORD your God, the army of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand.
8 Porventura não foram os ethiopes e os lybios um grande exercito, com muitissimos carros e cavalleiros? confiando tu porém no Senhor, elle os entregou nas tuas mãos.
Were not the Cushites and Libyans a vast army with many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you relied on the LORD, He delivered them into your hand.
9 Porque, quanto ao Senhor, seus olhos passam por toda a terra, para mostrar-se forte para com aquelles cujo coração é perfeito para com elle; n'isto pois fizeste loucamente porque desde agora haverá guerras contra ti.
For the eyes of the LORD roam to and fro over all the earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are fully devoted to Him. You have acted foolishly in this matter. From now on, therefore, you will be at war.”
10 Porém Asa se indignou contra o vidente, e lançou-o na casa do tronco; porque d'isto grandemente se alterou contra elle: tambem Asa no mesmo tempo opprimiu a alguns do povo.
Asa was angry with the seer and became so enraged over this matter that he put the man in prison. And at the same time Asa oppressed some of the people.
11 E eis que os successos d'Asa, tanto os primeiros, como os ultimos, estão escriptos no livro dos reis de Judah e Israel.
Now the rest of the acts of Asa, from beginning to end, are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
12 E caiu Asa doente de seus pés no anno trinta e nove do seu reinado: grande por extremo era a sua enfermidade, e comtudo na sua enfermidade não buscou ao Senhor, mas antes aos medicos.
In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa became diseased in his feet, and his malady became increasingly severe. Yet even in his illness he did not seek the LORD, but only the physicians.
13 E Asa dormiu com seus paes; e morreu no anno quarenta e um do seu reinado.
So in the forty-first year of his reign, Asa died and rested with his fathers.
14 E o sepultaram no seu sepulchro, que tinha cavado para si na cidade de David, havendo-o deitado na cama, que se enchera de cheiros e especiarias preparadas segundo a arte dos perfumistas: e fizeram-lhe queima mui grande.
And he was buried in the tomb that he had cut out for himself in the City of David. They laid him on a bier that was full of spices and various blended perfumes; then they made a great fire in his honor.
