< 2 Crônicas 20 >
1 E succedeu que, depois d'isto, os filhos de Moab, e os filhos d'Ammon, e com elles outros de mais dos ammonitas, vieram á peleja contra Josaphat.
And it came to pass after this, that the children of Moab, and the children of 'Ammon, and with them some of the 'Ammonim, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
2 Então vieram alguns que deram aviso a Josaphat, dizendo: Vem contra ti uma grande multidão d'além do mar e da Syria: e eis-que já estão em Hatson-thamar, que é Engedi.
And there came some and told unto Jehoshaphat, saying, There is coming against thee a great multitude from beyond the sea, from Syria; and, behold, they are in Chazazon-thamar, which is 'En-gedi.
3 Então Josaphat temeu, e poz-se a buscar o Senhor; e apregoou jejum em todo o Judah.
Then became Jehoshaphat afraid, and he directed his face to seek the Lord; and he proclaimed a fast over all Judah.
4 E Judah se ajuntou, para pedir soccorro ao Senhor: tambem de todas as cidades de Judah vieram para buscarem ao Senhor.
And [the people of] Judah gathered themselves together, to ask [help] of the Lord: also out of all the cities of Judah did they come to seek the Lord.
5 E poz-se Josaphat em pé na congregação de Judah e de Jerusalem, na casa do Senhor, diante do pateo novo.
And Jehoshaphat stood forward in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court.
6 E disse: Ah Senhor, Deus de nossos paes, porventura não és tu Deus nos céus? pois tu és Dominador sobre todos os reinos das gentes, e na tua mão ha força e potencia, e não ha quem te possa resistir.
And he said, O Lord, the God of our fathers, thou art God in the heavens, and thou rulest over all the kingdoms of the nations; and in thy hand are the power and might, and there is none that can withstand thee.
7 Porventura, ó Deus nosso, não lançaste tu fóra os moradores d'esta terra, de diante do teu povo Israel, e a déste á semente d'Abrahão, teu amigo, para sempre
Behold, it is thou, O our God, who hast driven out the inhabitants of this land from before thy people Israel; and thou gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend to eternity.
8 E habitaram n'ella; e edificaram-te n'ella um sanctuario ao teu nome, dizendo:
And they have dwelt therein, and have built for thee therein a sanctuary for thy name, saying,
9 Se algum mal nos sobrevier, espada, juizo, peste, ou fome, nós nos apresentaremos diante d'esta casa e diante de ti; pois teu nome está n'esta casa; e clamaremos a ti na nossa angustia, e tu nos ouvirás e livrarás.
If there should come over us any evil, the sword, punishment, or pestilence, or famine, [then] will we stand before this house, and in thy presence, for thy name is in this house, and we will cry unto thee out of our distress, and thou wilt hear and help.
10 Agora, pois, eis que os filhos d'Ammon e de Moab, e os das montanhas de Seir, pelos quaes não permittiste passar a Israel, quando vinham da terra do Egypto; mas d'elles se desviaram e não os destruiram;
And now, behold, the children of 'Ammon and Moab and mount Se'ir, against whom thou wouldst not suffer Israel to come, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned aside from them, and destroyed them not: —
11 Eis que nos dão o pago, vindo para lançar-nos fóra da tua herança, que nos fizeste herdar.
And behold, they recompense us, by coming to drive us out of thy inheritance, which thou hast given us to possess.
12 Ah Deus nosso, porventura não os julgarás? porque em nós não ha força perante esta grande multidão que vem contra nós, e não sabemos nós o que faremos; porém os nossos olhos estão postos em ti.
O our God, wilt thou not execute justice on them? for there is no power in us against this great multitude that is coming against us; and we indeed know not what we are to do: but upon thee are our eyes [directed].
13 E todo o Judah estava em pé perante o Senhor, como tambem as suas creanças, as suas mulheres, e os seus filhos.
And all Judah were standing before the Lord, also their little ones, their wives, and their sons.
14 Então veiu o espirito do Senhor, no meio da congregação, sobre Jahaziel, filho de Zacharias, filho de Benaias, filho de Jehiel, filho de Mattanias, levita, dos filhos de Asaf,
And upon Jachaziel the son of Zecharyahu, the son of Benayah, the son of Je'iel, the son of Matthanyah, the Levite, of the sons of Assaph, came the spirit of the Lord in the midst of the assembly;
15 E disse: Dae ouvidos todo o Judah, e vós, moradores de Jerusalem, e tu, ó rei Josaphat: assim o Senhor vos diz: Não temaes, nem vos assusteis por causa d'esta grande multidão; pois a peleja não é vossa, senão de Deus.
And he said, Listen ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus hath said the Lord unto you, Be ye not afraid and be not dismayed because of this great multitude; for not unto you belongeth the battle, but unto God.
16 Ámanhã descereis contra elles; eis que sobem pela ladeira de Zis, e os achareis no fim do valle, diante do deserto de Jeruel.
Tomorrow go ye down against them behold, they come up by the ascent of Ziz; and ye will find them at the end of the valley, in front of the wilderness of Jeruel.
17 N'esta peleja não tereis que pelejar: parae-vos, estae em pé, e vêde a salvação do Senhor para comvosco, ó Judah e Jerusalem; não temaes, nem vos assusteis, ámanhã sahi-lhes ao encontro, porque o Senhor será comvosco.
Ye shall not need to fight in this place: stand firmly, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, and be not dismayed; tomorrow go out to meet them, and the Lord will be with you.
18 Então Josaphat se prostrou com o rosto em terra: e todo o Judah e os moradores de Jerusalem se lançaram perante o Senhor, adorando ao Senhor.
And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before the Lord, to prostrate themselves unto the Lord.
19 E levantaram-se os levitas, dos filhos dos kohathitas, e dos filhos dos korathitas, para louvarem ao Senhor Deus d'Israel, com grande voz até ao alto.
And then arose the Levites, of the children of the Kehathites, and of the children of the Korehites, to praise the Lord the God of Israel with a very loud voice.
20 E pela manhã cedo se levantaram e sairam ao deserto de Tekoa: e, saindo elles, poz-se em pé Josaphat, e disse: Ouvi-me, ó Judah, e vós, moradores de Jerusalem: Crede no Senhor vosso Deus, e estareis seguros; crede nos seus prophetas, e sereis prosperados.
And they rose up early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Thekoa': and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood forward and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; believe in the Lord your God, and ye will have permanence; believe his prophets, and ye will prosper.
21 E aconselhou-se com o povo, e ordenou cantores para o Senhor, que louvassem a Magestade sancta, saindo diante dos armados, e dizendo: Louvae ao Senhor, porque a sua benignidade dura para sempre.
And he consulted with his people, and he appointed singers unto the Lord, and those that should praise in the holy ornaments, as they went out before the armed array, and said, Give thanks unto the Lord; for unto everlasting endureth his kindness.
22 E, ao tempo que começaram com jubilo e louvor, o Senhor poz emboscadas contra os filhos d'Ammon e de Moab, e os das montanhas de Seir, que vieram contra Judah e foram desbaratados.
And at the time when they began with the song and the praise, the Lord set an ambush against the children of 'Ammon, Moab, and mount Se'ir, who were come against Judah, and they were smitten.
23 Porque os filhos d'Ammon e de Moab se levantaram contra os moradores das montanhas de Seir, para os destruir e exterminar: e, acabando elles com os moradores de Seir, ajudaram uns aos outros a destruir-se.
And the children of 'Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Se'ir, utterly to annihilate and to destroy them; and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Se'ir, they helped to destroy one another.
24 Entretanto chegou Judah á atalaia do deserto: e olharam para a multidão, e eis que eram corpos mortos, que jaziam em terra, e nenhum escapou.
And when Judah came toward the watchtower in the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none had escaped.
25 E vieram Josaphat e o seu povo para saquear os seus despojos, e acharam n'elles fazenda e cadaveres em abundancia, assim como vasos preciosos, e tomaram para si tanto, que não podiam levar mais: e tres dias saquearam o despojo, porque era muito.
And then came Jehoshaphat and his people to plunder their booty, and they found among them in abundance both riches and dead bodies, and costly vessels, which they stript off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in plundering the booty, for it was so much.
26 E ao quarto dia se ajuntaram no valle de Beracha; porque ali louvaram o Senhor: por isso chamaram o nome d'aquelle logar o valle de Beracha, até ao dia d'hoje.
And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the Lord: therefore did they call the name of this place, The valley of Berachah [[Blessing]], until this day.
27 Então voltaram todos os homens de Judah e de Jerusalem, e Josaphat á frente d'elles, para virem a Jerusalem com alegria: porque o Senhor os alegrara ácerca dos seus inimigos.
Then returned all the men of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat at their head, to return to Jerusalem with joy; for the Lord had caused them to rejoice over their enemies.
28 E vieram a Jerusalem com alaudes, e com harpas, e com trombetas, para a casa do Senhor.
And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and with harps and with trumpets unto the house of the Lord.
29 E veiu o temor de Deus sobre todos os reinos d'aquellas terras, ouvindo elles que o Senhor havia pelejado contra os inimigos d'Israel.
And a dread from God was on all the kingdoms of [those] countries, when they heard that the Lord had fought with the enemies of Israel.
30 E o reino de Josaphat ficou quieto: e o seu Deus lhe deu repouso em redor.
So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat had repose, and his God gave him rest all round about.
31 E Josaphat reinou sobre Judah: era da edade de trinta e cinco annos quando começou a reinar e vinte e cinco annos reinou em Jerusalem; e era o nome de sua mãe, Azuba, filha de Silhi.
And [so] did Jehoshaphat reign over Judah; thirty and five years old was he when he became king, and twenty and five years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was 'Azubah the daughter of Shilchi.
32 E andou no caminho d'Asa, seu pae, e não se desviou d'elle, fazendo o que era recto nos olhos do Senhor.
And he walked in the way of his father Assa, and turned not aside from it, doing what is right in the eyes of the Lord.
33 Comtudo os altos se não tiraram, porque o povo não tinha ainda preparado o seu coração para com o Deus de seus paes.
Nevertheless the high-places were not removed; for the people had not yet directed their heart firmly unto the God of their fathers.
34 Ora o resto dos successos de Josaphat, assim primeiros, como ultimos, eis que está escripto nas notas de Jehu, filho de Hanani, que lhe fizeram apontar no livro dos reis de Israel.
And the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, the first and the last, behold, they are written in the history of Jehu the son of Chanani, which was entered into the book of the kings of Israel.
35 Porém depois d'isto Josaphat, rei de Judah, se alliou com Achazias, rei de Israel, que obrou com toda a impiedade.
And after this did Jehoshaphat the king of Judah connect himself with Achazyah the king of Israel, the same who acted very wickedly;
36 E alliou-se com elle, para fazerem navios que fossem a Tharsis: e fizeram os navios em Esion-geber.
And he connected himself with him to make ships to go to Tharshish: and they made ships in 'Ezyon-geber.
37 Porém Eliezer, filho de Dodava, de Maresa, prophetizou contra Josaphat, dizendo: Porquanto te alliaste com Achazias, o Senhor despedaçou as tuas obras. E os navios se quebraram, e não poderam ir a Tharsis.
Then prophesied Eli'ezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast connected thyself with Achazyahu, the Lord hath broken down thy works. And the ships were wrecked, so that they were not able to go to Tharshish.
