2 Crônicas 16
1 No ano trigésimo sexto do reinado d'Asa, Baása, rei de Israel, subiu contra Judá e edificou a Rama, para ninguém deixar sair nem entrar a Asa, rei de Judá.
Then, in the thirty-sixth year of his reign, Baasha, the king of Israel, ascended against Judah. And he encircled Ramah with a wall, so that no one could safely depart or enter from the kingdom of Asa.
2 Então tirou a Asa a prata e o ouro dos tesouros da casa de Deus, e da casa do rei; e enviou a Benhadad, rei da Síria, que habitava em Damasco, dizendo:
Therefore, Asa brought forth silver and gold from the treasuries of the house of the Lord, and from the treasuries of the king. And he sent to Benhadad, the king of Syria, who was living in Damascus, saying:
3 Aliança há entre mim e ti, como houve entre meu pai e teu: eis que te envio prata e ouro; vai, pois, e aniquila a tua aliança com Baása, rei de Israel, para que se retire de sobre mim.
“There is a pact between me and you. Also, my father and your father had an agreement. For this reason, I have sent silver and gold to you, so that you may break the pact that you have with Baasha, the king of Israel, and so that you may cause him to withdraw from me.”
4 E Benhadad deu ouvidos ao rei Asa, e enviou o capitão dos exércitos que tinha, contra as cidades de Israel, e feriram a Ijon, e a Dan, e a Abelmaim; e a todas as cidades das munições de Naphtali.
And when he verified this, Benhadad sent the leaders of his armies to the cities of Israel. And they struck Ahion, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the walled cities of Naphtali.
5 E sucedeu que, ouvindo-o Baása, deixou de edificar a Rama; e descontinuou a sua obra.
And when Baasha had heard of it, he ceased to build around Ramah, and he interrupted his work.
6 Então o rei Asa tomou a todo o Judá 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 took all of Judah, and they carried away from Ramah the stones and the wood that Baasha had prepared for the things to be built. And he built up Gibeah and Mizpah with them.
7 Naquele mesmo tempo veio Hanani, o vidente, a Asa rei de Judá, e disse-lhe: Porquanto confiaste no rei da Síria, e não confiaste no Senhor teu Deus, portanto o exército do rei da Síria escapou da tua mão.
In that time, the prophet Hanani went to Asa, the king of Judah, and he said to him: “Because you have faith in the king of Syria, and not in the Lord your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped from your hand.
8 Porventura não foram os ethiopes e os lybios um grande exército, com muitíssimos carros e cavaleiros? confiando tu porém no Senhor, ele os entregou nas tuas mãos.
Were not the Ethiopians and the Libyans much more numerous in chariots, and horsemen, and an exceedingly great multitude? Yet when you believed in 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 aqueles cujo coração é perfeito para com ele; nisto pois fizeste loucamente porque desde agora haverá guerras contra ti.
For the eyes of the Lord contemplate the entire earth, and offer fortitude to those who believe in him with a perfect heart. And so, you acted foolishly. And so, because of this, from the present time wars shall rise up against you.”
10 Porém Asa se indignou contra o vidente, e lançou-o na casa do tronco; porque disto grandemente se alterou contra ele: também Asa no mesmo tempo oprimiu a alguns do povo.
And Asa was angry against the seer, and he ordered him to be sent into prison. For indeed, he had been very indignant over this. And in that time, he put to death very many of the people.
11 E eis que os sucessos d'Asa, tanto os primeiros, como os últimos, estão escritos no livro dos reis de Judá e Israel.
But the works of Asa, the first and the last, have been written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
12 E caiu Asa doente de seus pés no ano trinta e nove do seu reinado: grande por extremo era a sua enfermidade, e contudo na sua enfermidade não buscou ao Senhor, mas antes aos médicos.
And now Asa became ill, in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, with a very severe pain in his feet. And yet, in his infirmity, he did not seek the Lord. Instead, he trusted more in the skill of physicians.
13 E Asa dormiu com seus pais; e morreu no ano quarenta e um do seu reinado.
And he slept with his fathers. And he died in the forty-first year of his reign.
14 E o sepultaram no seu sepulcro, 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 they buried him in his own sepulcher, which he had made for himself in the City of David. And they placed him upon his bed, full of the aromatics and ointments of courtesans, which were composed with the skill of the perfumers. And they burned these over him with very great ostentation.
