2 Reis 14
1 No segundo anno de Jehoás, filho de Joachaz, rei de Israel, começou a reinar Amasias, filho de Joás, rei de Judah.
After Jehoash had been ruling Israel for almost two years, Joash’s son Amaziah became the king of Judah.
2 Tinha vinte e cinco annos quando começou a reinar, e vinte e nove annos reinou em Jerusalem. E era o nome de sua mãe Joaddan, de Jerusalem.
He was 25 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 29 years. His mother was Jehoaddin; she was from Jerusalem.
3 E fez o que era recto aos olhos do Senhor, ainda que não como seu pae David: fez porém conforme tudo o que fizera Joás seu pae.
Amaziah did many things that pleased Yahweh, but he did not do as many things that pleased Yahweh as King David had done. He did some of the good things that his father Joash had done.
4 Tão sómente os altos se não tiraram; porque ainda o povo sacrificava e queimava incenso nos altos.
But, [like his father, ] he did not tear down the places for worshipping Yahweh at pagan shrines. The people continued to burn incense [to honor Yahweh] on those hills [instead of in Jerusalem, the place that Yahweh had appointed].
5 Succedeu pois que, sendo já o reino confirmado na sua mão, matou os seus servos que tinham morto o rei seu pae.
As soon as he was completely in control of his kingdom, he caused to be executed the officials who had murdered his father.
6 Porém os filhos dos matadores não matou, como está escripto no livro da lei de Moysés, no qual o Senhor deu ordem, dizendo: Não matarão os paes por causa dos filhos, e os filhos não matarão por causa dos paes; mas cada um será morto pelo seu peccado.
But he did not execute their children. He obeyed what was written in the laws that God gave to Moses: “Parents must not be executed for [the crimes/sins committed by] their children, and children must not be executed for [crimes/sins committed by] their parents. People must be executed only for the sins that they themselves [have committed].”
7 Este feriu a dez mil edomitas no valle do Sal, e tomou a Sela na guerra: e chamou o seu nome Jocteel, até ao dia d'hoje.
Amaziah’s soldiers killed 10,000 soldiers of the Edom people-group in the Salt Valley [south of the Dead Sea], and they captured Sela [city] and gave it a new name, Joktheel. That is still its name.
8 Então Amasias, enviou mensageiros a Jehoás, filho de Joachaz, filho de Jehu, rei de Israel, dizendo: Vem, vejamo-nos cara a cara.
Then Amaziah sent messengers to King Jehoash of Israel, saying “Come here and let’s talk together.”
9 Porém Jehoás, rei de Israel, enviou a Amasias, rei de Judah, dizendo: O cardo que está no Libano enviou ao cedro que está no Libano, dizendo: Dá tua filha por mulher a meu filho: mas os animaes do campo, que eram no Libano, passaram e pizaram o cardo.
But King Jehoash replied to King Amaziah: “Once a thornbush growing [in the mountains] in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar tree, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son in order that he may marry her.’ But a wild animal in Lebanon passed by the thornbush and trampled it.
10 Na verdade feriste os moabitas, e o teu coração se ensoberbeceu: gloria-te d'isso, e fica em tua casa; e porque te entremetterias no mal, para caires tu, e Judah comtigo?
[The meaning of what I am saying is that] your army has defeated the army of Edom, so now you have become very proud. But you should be content with defeating the people of Edom, and allow your soldiers to stay at home. If you cause trouble [by fighting against] us, you will surely [RHQ] cause a disaster to happen to you and to your people.”
11 Mas Amasias não o ouviu: e subiu Jehoás, rei de Israel, e Amasias, rei de Judah, e viram-se cara a cara, em Beth-semes, que está em Judah.
But Amaziah refused to heed Jehoash’s message. So he marched with his army to fight against the Israeli army at Beth-Shemesh [city] in Judah.
12 E Judah foi ferido diante de Israel, e fugiu cada um para as suas tendas.
The Israeli army defeated the army of Judah, and all the soldiers of Judah fled and ran back home.
13 E Jehoás, rei de Israel, tomou a Amasias, rei de Judah, filho de Joás, filho de Achazias, em Beth-semes: e veiu a Jerusalem, e rompeu o muro de Jerusalem, desde a porta de Ephraim até á porta da esquina, quatrocentos covados.
Jehoash’s army also captured King Amaziah there, and they also marched to Jerusalem and tore down the wall that was around the city, from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate. That was a section that was about (200 yards/180 meters) long.
14 E tomou todo o oiro e a prata, e todos os vasos que se acharam na casa do Senhor e nos thesouros da casa do rei, como tambem os refens: e voltou para Samaria.
Jehoash’s soldiers seized all the gold and silver that they found, and all the utensils that were in the temple, and all the valuable things that were in the palace, and took them to Samaria. They also took to Samaria some prisoners whom they had captured.
15 Ora o mais dos successos de Jehoás, o que fez, e o seu poder, e como pelejou contra Amasias, rei de Judah, porventura não está escripto no livro das chronicas dos reis d'Israel?
[If you want to know about] all the other things that Jehoash did when he was king, including when he [and his army] fought against [the army of] King Amaziah of Judah, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
16 E dormiu Jehoás com seus paes, e foi sepultado em Samaria, junto aos reis d'Israel: e Jeroboão, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.
Jehoash died [EUP], and he was buried in Samaria, where the other kings of Israel had been buried. Then his son Jeroboam became the king.
17 E viveu Amasias, filho de Jehoás, rei de Judah, depois da morte de Jehoás, filho de Joachaz, rei d'Israel, quinze annos.
Amaziah, the king of Judah, lived for 15 more years after Jehoash, the king of Israel, died.
18 Ora o mais dos successos de Amasias, porventura não está escripto no livro das chronicas dos reis de Judah?
[If you want to know more about] everything else that Amaziah did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
19 E conspiraram contra elle em Jerusalem, e fugiu para Lachis; porém enviaram após elle até Lachis, e o mataram ali.
Some people in Jerusalem plotted against Amaziah, so he fled to Lachish [city]. But they followed him there and killed him.
20 E o trouxeram em cima de cavallos: e o sepultaram em Jerusalem, junto a seus paes, na cidade de David.
They took his corpse back to Jerusalem and buried it where his ancestors had been buried, in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’.
21 E todo o povo de Judah tomou a Azarias, que já era de dezeseis annos, e o fizeram rei em logar de Amasias, seu pae.
Then all the people of Judah appointed Amaziah’s son Uzziah, when he was 16 years old, to be their king
22 Este edificou a Elath, e a restituiu a Judah, depois que o rei dormiu com seus paes.
After his father died, Uzziah’s workers captured Elath [city], and it came under the control of Judah again.
23 No decimo quinto anno de Amasias, filho de Joás, rei de Judah, começou a reinar em Samaria, Jeroboão, filho de Jehoás rei de Israel e reinou quarenta e um annos.
When Amaziah had been ruling Judah for almost 15 years, Jeroboam became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for 41 years.
24 E fez o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor: nunca se apartou de nenhum dos peccados de Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, que fez peccar a Israel.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did not stop committing the same kind of sins that Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, committed, sins which led the Israeli people to sin also.
25 Tambem este restituiu os termos d'Israel, desde a entrada de Hamath até ao mar da planicie: conforme a palavra do Senhor, Deus d'Israel, a qual fallara pelo ministerio de seu servo Jonas, filho do propheta Amithai, o qual era de Gath-hepher.
His soldiers conquered again some of the territory that had previously belonged to Israel, from Hamath [city] in the north to the Dead Sea in the south. That is what Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis worshiped, promised the prophet Jonah, the son of Amittai, from Gath-Hepher [town], would happen.
26 Porque viu o Senhor que a miseria d'Israel era mui amarga, e que nem havia encerrado, nem desamparado, nem quem ajudasse a Israel.
That happened because Yahweh saw that [the Israelis’ enemies were causing] the Israelis [to] suffer very much. And there was absolutely no one [IDM] who would help them.
27 E ainda não fallara o Senhor em apagar o nome d'Israel de debaixo do céu; porém os livrou por mão de Jeroboão, filho de Joás
But Yahweh said that he would not destroy Israel completely, so he enabled King Jeroboam to rescue them.
28 Ora o mais dos successos de Jeroboão, tudo quanto fez, e seu poder, como pelejou, e como restituiu a Damasco e a Hamath, pertencentes a Judah, sendo rei em Israel, porventura não está escripto no livro das chronicas de Israel?
[If you want to know more about] everything else that Jeroboam did, [about] his fighting courageously in battles, and [about] his [enabling the Israelis to] capture again Damascus and Hamath [cities], they are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
29 E Jeroboão dormiu com seus paes, com os reis de Israel: e Zacharias, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.
Jeroboam died [EUP], [and was buried] where the other kings of Israel [were buried], and his son Zechariah became the king.
