< 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.
In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
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:
Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to Ben Hadad king of Aram, who lived at 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.
"Let there be a treaty between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Look, I have sent you silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart 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.
Ben Hadad listened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali.
5 E sucedeu que, ouvindo-o Baása, deixou de edificar a Rama; e descontinuou a sua obra.
It happened, when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease.
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 Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.
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.
At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, "Because you have relied on the king of Aram, and have not relied on the LORD your God, therefore is the army of the king of Aram escaped out of 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.
Weren't the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge army, with chariots and horsemen exceeding many? 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 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 run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein you have done foolishly; for from now on you shall have wars."
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.
Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in the prison; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.
11 E eis que os sucessos d'Asa, tanto os primeiros, como os últimos, estão escritos no livro dos reis de Judá e Israel.
Look, the acts of Asa, first and last, look, they are 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.
In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet; his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he did not seek the LORD, but to the physicians.
13 E Asa dormiu com seus pais; e morreu no ano quarenta e um do seu reinado.
Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth 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.
They buried him in his own tomb that he had dug out in the City of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with spices and various kinds of sweet-scented herbs prepared by the perfumers' art, and they made a very great fire for him.
