< 2 Reis 21 >

1 Tinha Manasseh doze annos de edade quando começou a reinar, e cincoenta e cinco annos reinou em Jerusalem: e era o nome de sua mãe Hephsiba.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah.
2 E fez o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor, conforme as abominações dos gentios que o Senhor desterrara de suas possessões de diante dos filhos d'Israel.
He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, after the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.
3 Porque tornou a edificar os altos que Ezequias, seu pae, tinha destruido, e levantou altares a Baal, e fez um bosque como o que fizera Achab, rei d'Israel, e se inclinou diante de todo o exercito dos céus, e os serviu.
For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he raised up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as Ahab king of Israel did, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.
4 E edificou altares na casa do Senhor, de que o Senhor tinha dito: Em Jerusalem porei o meu nome.
He built altars in Yahweh’s house, of which Yahweh said, “I will put my name in Jerusalem.”
5 Tambem edificou altares a todo o exercito dos céus em ambos os atrios da casa do Senhor.
He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of Yahweh’s house.
6 E até fez passar a seu filho pelo fogo, e adivinhava pelas nuvens, e era agoureiro, e ordenou adivinhos e feiticeiros: e proseguiu em fazer mal aos olhos do Senhor, para o provocar á ira.
He made his son to pass through the fire, practiced sorcery, used enchantments, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits and with wizards. He did much evil in Yahweh’s sight, to provoke him to anger.
7 Tambem poz uma imagem de esculptura, do bosque que tinha feito, na casa de que o Senhor dissera a David e a Salomão, seu filho: N'esta casa e em Jerusalem, que escolhi de todas as tribus d'Israel, porei o meu nome para sempre.
He set the engraved image of Asherah that he had made in the house of which Yahweh said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever;
8 E mais não farei mover o pé d'Israel d'esta terra que tenho dado a seus paes; comtanto sómente que tenham cuidado de fazer conforme tudo o que lhes tenho ordenado, e conforme toda a lei que Moysés, meu servo, lhes ordenou.
I will not cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land which I gave their fathers, if only they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.”
9 Porém não ouviram; porque Manasseh de tal modo os fez errar, que fizeram peior do que as nações, que o Senhor tinha destruido de diante dos filhos de Israel.
But they didn’t listen, and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than the nations did whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 Então o Senhor fallou pelo ministerio de seus servos, os prophetas, dizendo:
Yahweh spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,
11 Porquanto Manasseh, rei de Judah, fez estas abominações, fazendo peior do que quanto fizeram os amorrheos, que antes d'elle foram, e até tambem a Judah fez peccar com os seus idolos;
“Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, and has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who were before him, and has also made Judah to sin with his idols;
12 Por isso assim diz o Senhor Deus de Israel: Eis que hei de trazer um mal sobre Jerusalem e Judah, que qualquer que ouvir, lhe ficarão retinindo ambas as orelhas.
therefore Yahweh the God of Israel says, ‘Behold, I will bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle.
13 E estenderei sobre Jerusalem o cordel de Samaria e o prumo da casa de Achab: e limparei a Jerusalem, como quem limpa a escudela, a limpa e a vira sobre a sua face.
I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plumb line of Ahab’s house; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.
14 E desampararei o resto da minha herança, entregal-os-hei na mão de seus inimigos; e far-se-hão roubo e despojo para todos os seus inimigos.
I will cast off the remnant of my inheritance and deliver them into the hands of their enemies. They will become a prey and a plunder to all their enemies,
15 Porquanto fizeram o que parecia mal aos meus olhos, e me provocaram á ira, desde o dia em que seus paes sairam do Egypto até hoje.
because they have done that which is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day.’”
16 De mais d'isto, tambem Manasseh derramou muitissimo sangue innocente, até que encheu a Jerusalem de um ao outro extremo, afóra o seu peccado, com que fez peccar a Judah, fazendo o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor.
Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; in addition to his sin with which he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight.
17 Quanto ao mais dos filhos de Manasseh, e a tudo quanto fez mais, e ao seu peccado, que peccou, porventura não está escripto no livro das chronicas dos reis de Judah?
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
18 E Manasseh dormiu com seus paes, e foi sepultado no jardim da sua casa, no jardim de Uza: e Amon, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.
Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son reigned in his place.
19 Tinha Amon vinte e dois annos de edade quando começou a reinar, e dois annos reinou em Jerusalem: e era o nome de sua mãe Mesullemeth, filha d'Harus, de Jotba.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
20 E fez o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor, como fizera Manasseh, seu pae.
He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, as Manasseh his father did.
21 Porque andou em todo o caminho em que andara seu pae: e serviu os idolos, a que seu pae tinha servido, e se inclinou diante d'elles.
He walked in all the ways that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them;
22 Assim deixou ao Senhor, Deus de seus paes, e não andou no caminho do Senhor.
and he abandoned Yahweh, the God of his fathers, and didn’t walk in the way of Yahweh.
23 E os servos de Amon conspiraram contra elle, e mataram o rei em sua casa.
The servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.
24 Porém o povo da terra feriu a todos os que conspiraram contra o rei Amon: e o povo da terra poz a Josias, seu filho, rei em seu logar.
But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.
25 Quanto ao mais dos successos de Amon, que fez, porventura não está escripto no livro das chronicas dos reis de Judah?
Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
26 E o sepultaram na sua sepultura, no jardim de Usa: e Josias, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.
He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son reigned in his place.
