1 Reis 15
1 No ano dezoito do rei Jeroboão filho de Nebate, Abião começou a reinar sobre Judá.
After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 18 years, Abijah became the king of Judah.
2 Reinou três anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era Maaca, filha de Absalão.
He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah, the granddaughter of [David’s son] Absalom.
3 E andou em todos os pecados de seu pai, que havia este feito antes dele; e não foi seu coração completo com o SENHOR seu Deus, como o coração do seu pai Davi.
Abijah committed the same kind of sins that his father had committed. He was not fully dedicated/committed to Yahweh his God, as his grandfather David had been.
4 Mas por amor de Davi, deu-lhe o SENHOR seu Deus lâmpada em Jerusalém, levantando-lhe a seu filho depois dele, e sustentando a Jerusalém:
But, because of [what Yahweh his God had promised to] David, Yahweh gave Abijah a son [MET] to rule in Jerusalem after him, and in order to protect Jerusalem [from their enemies].
5 Porquanto Davi havia feito o que era correto diante dos olhos do SENHOR, e de nenhuma coisa que lhe mandasse se havia apartado em todos os dias de sua vida, exceto o negócio de Urias Heteu.
Yahweh did that because David had always done what pleased Yahweh and because David had always obeyed Yahweh. The only time when he disobeyed Yahweh was when he caused Uriah [to be killed].
6 E havia guerra entre Roboão e Jeroboão todos os dias de sua vida.
There were wars between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam all during the time that Abijah ruled.
7 Os demais dos feitos de Abião, e todas as coisas que fez, não estão escritas no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá? E havia guerra entre Abião e Jeroboão.
Everything else that Abijah did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
8 E dormiu Abião com seus pais, e sepultaram-no na cidade de Davi: e reinou Asa seu filho em seu lugar.
Abijah died [EUP] and was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, and his son Asa became king.
9 No ano vinte de Jeroboão rei de Israel, Asa começou a reinar sobre Judá.
After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 20 years, Asa started to rule Judah.
10 E reinou quarenta e um anos em Jerusalém; o nome de sua avó era Maaca, filha de Absalão.
He ruled in Jerusalem for 41 years. His grandmother was Maacah, the granddaughter of Absalom.
11 E Asa fez o que era correto diante dos olhos do SENHOR, como o seu pai Davi.
Asa did what was pleasing to Yahweh, as his ancestor David had done.
12 Porque tirou os sodomitas da terra, e tirou todas as imundícies que seus pais haviam feito.
He got rid of the male prostitutes that were at the places where the people worshiped idols, and he also got rid of all the idols that his ancestors had made.
13 E também tirou de sua avó Maaca a posição de rainha-mãe, porque havia feito um ídolo num bosque. Além disso, Asa destruiu o ídolo dela, e o queimou junto ao ribeiro de Cedrom.
He also removed his grandmother Maacah so that she no longer had influence in the government [because of] being the mother of a previous king. He did that because she had made a disgusting [wooden] statue of the goddess Asherah. Asa [told his workers to] cut down the statue and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
14 Porém os altos não foram tirados. Contudo, o coração de Asa foi completo com o SENHOR durante toda a sua vida.
He was not able to destroy all the places where the people worshiped [idols] on the high hills, but he continued to be dedicated/committed to Yahweh his entIre life.
15 Também trouxe à casa do SENHOR o que o seu pai havia dedicado, e o que ele dedicou: ouro, e prata, e utensílios.
He [told his workers to] place in the temple all the items that his father had dedicated to God, and all the gold and silver things that he had dedicated to God.
16 E havia guerra entre Asa e Baasa, rei de Israel, durante todo o tempo deles.
There were wars between [the armies of] Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, all during the time that they ruled.
17 E Baasa, rei de Israel, subiu contra Judá, e edificou Ramá, para não deixar sair nem entrar a ninguém de Asa, rei de Judá.
Baasha’s army invaded Judah. They captured Ramah [town north of Jerusalem]. Then they started to build a wall around it in order to prevent people from entering or leaving the area in Judah that was ruled by King Asa.
18 Então Asa tomou toda a prata e ouro que havia restado nos tesouros da casa do SENHOR, e os tesouros da casa real, entregou-os nas mãos de seus servos, e o rei Asa os enviou a Ben-Hadade, filho de Tabrimom, filho de Heziom, rei da Síria, o qual residia em Damasco, dizendo:
So Asa [told] his workers [to] take all the silver and gold that was still in the storerooms in the temple and in the palace. He told them to take it to Damascus and give it to King Ben-Hadad who ruled Syria. Ben-Hadad was the son of Tabrimmon and grandson of Hezion. He told the workers to say this to Ben-Hadad:
19 [Haja] uma aliança entre mim e ti, entre meu pai e o teu pai; eis que eu te envio um presente de prata e ouro. Vai, e rompe a tua aliança com Baasa, rei de Israel, para que me deixe.
“I want there to be a peace treaty between you and me, like there was between your father and my father. For that reason, I am giving you this silver and gold. So now please cancel the treaty that you made with Baasha, the king of Israel, in order that he will take his soldiers away from attacking mine, [because he will be afraid of your army].”
20 E Ben-Hadade consentiu com o rei Asa, e enviou os príncipes dos exércitos que tinha contra as cidades de Israel, e feriu a Ijom, e a Dã, e a Abel-Bete-Maaca, e a toda Quinerete, com toda a terra de Naftali.
[So the workers went and gave the message to] Ben-Hadad, [and he] did what Asa suggested. He sent his army commanders [and their soldiers] to attack some of the towns in Israel. They captured Ijon, Dan, Abel-Beth-Maacah, the area near Galilee Lake, and all the land of [the tribe of] Naphtali.
21 E ouvindo isto Baasa, deixou de edificar a Ramá, e ficou em Tirsa.
When Baasha heard about that, he [told his soldiers to] stop working at Ramah. He [and his soldiers returned to] Tirzah [and] stayed there.
22 Então o rei Asa convocou a todo Judá, sem excetuar ninguém; e tiraram de Ramá a pedra e a madeira com que Baasa edificava, e edificou o rei Asa com ele a Gibeá de Benjamim, e a Mispá.
Then King Asa sent a message to all the [people in the] towns in Judah, stating that they all were required to go to Ramah and carry away the stones and timber that Baasha’s soldiers had been using to build a wall around the city. With those stones and timber they fortified Mizpah [city north of Jerusalem], and Geba, [a town] in the territory of the tribe of Benjamin.
23 Os demais de todos os feitos de Asa, e toda sua fortaleza, e todas as coisas que fez, e as cidades que edificou, não está tudo escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá? Mas no tempo de sua velhice enfermou de seus pés.
Everything else that Asa did, the armies that his soldiers defeated, and the names of the cities that he caused to be fortified, are [RHQ] written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’. But when Asa became old, he got a disease in his feet.
24 E descansou Asa com seus pais, e foi sepultado com seus pais na cidade de Davi seu pai: e reinou em seu lugar Josafá seu filho.
He died [EUP] and was buried where his ancestors were buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Jehoshaphat became king.
25 E Nadabe, filho de Jeroboão, começou a reinar sobre Israel no segundo ano de Asa rei de Judá; e reinou sobre Israel dois anos.
After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost two years, King Jeroboam’s son Nadab started to rule Israel. He ruled for two years.
26 E fez o que era mau diante dos olhos do SENHOR, andando no caminho de seu pai, e em seus pecados com que fez pecar a Israel.
He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil. His behavior was sinful like his father’s behavior had been, and what he did led the people of Israel to sin.
27 E Baasa filho de Aías, o qual era da casa de Issacar, fez conspiração contra ele: e feriu-o Baasa em Gibetom, que era dos filisteus: porque Nadabe e todo Israel tinham cercado a Gibetom.
[A man named] Baasha, from the tribe of Issachar, planned to harm him. He killed Nadab when Nadab and his army had surrounded Gibbethon [city] in the Philistia area.
28 Matou-o, pois, Baasa no terceiro ano de Asa rei de Judá, e reinou em seu lugar.
That [DOU] was when Asa had been [the king ruling] Judah for almost three years. Then Baasha became the king of Israel.
29 E quando ele veio ao reino, feriu toda a casa de Jeroboão, sem deixar alma vivente dos de Jeroboão, até exterminá-lo, conforme à palavra do SENHOR que ele falou por seu servo Aías silonita;
As soon as Baasha became king, [he commanded his soldiers to] kill all of Jeroboam’s family. Doing what Yahweh had told the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh would happen, they killed all of Jeroboam’s family. None of them (was left/remained alive).
30 Por causa dos pecados de Jeroboão que ele havia cometido, e com os quais fez pecar a Israel; e por sua provocação com que provocou à ira ao SENHOR Deus de Israel.
That happened because Yahweh had become very angry with Jeroboam because of all the sins that Jeroboam had committed, and because of the sins that he had persuaded the people of Israel to commit.
31 Os demais dos feitos de Nadabe, e todas as coisas que fez, não está tudo escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel?
Everything else that Nadab did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
32 E havia guerra entre Asa e Baasa, rei de Israel, durante todo o tempo deles.
There were wars between [the armies of] King Asa and King Baasha all the time that they ruled.
33 No terceiro ano de Asa, rei de Judá, começou a reinar Baasa, filho de Aías, sobre todo Israel em Tirsa; e reinou vinte e quatro anos.
After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost three years, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, started to rule Israel at Tirzah [city]. He ruled for 24 years.
34 E fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, e andou no caminho de Jeroboão, e em seu pecado com que fez pecar a Israel.
He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil, and his behavior was sinful like his father’s had been, and he led the people of Israel to sin.
