2 Reis 14
1 No ano segundo de Joás filho de Jeoacaz rei de Israel, começou a reinar Amazias filho de Joás rei de Judá.
After Jehoash had been ruling Israel for almost two years, Joash’s son Amaziah became the king of Judah.
2 Quando começou a reinar era de vinte e cinco anos, e reinou vinte e nove anos em Jerusalém: o nome de sua mãe foi Jeoadã, de Jerusalém.
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 ele fez o que era correto aos olhos do SENHOR, ainda que não como Davi seu pai: fez conforme a todas as coisas que havia feito Joás seu pai.
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 Contudo isso os altos não foram tirados; que o povo ainda 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 E logo que o reino foi confirmado em sua mão, feriu a seus servos, os que haviam matado ao rei seu pai.
As soon as he was completely in control of his kingdom, he caused to be executed the officials who had murdered his father.
6 Mas não matou aos filhos dos que lhe mataram, conforme o que está escrito no livro da lei de Moisés, de onde o SENHOR mandou, dizendo: Não matarão aos pais pelos filhos, nem aos filhos pelos pais: mas cada um morrerá por seu pecado.
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 também dez mil edomitas no vale das salinas, e tomou a Selá por guerra, e chamou-a Jocteel, até 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 Amazias enviou embaixadores a Joás, filho de Jeoacaz filho de Jeú, rei de Israel, dizendo: Vem, e vejamo-nos face a face.
Then Amaziah sent messengers to King Jehoash of Israel, saying “Come here and let’s talk together.”
9 E Joás rei de Israel enviou a Amazias rei de Judá esta resposta: O cardo que está no Líbano enviou a dizer ao cedro que está no Líbano: Da tua filha por mulher a meu filho. E passaram os animais selvagens que estão no Líbano, e pisaram 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 Certamente feriste a Edom, e teu coração te envaideceu: gloria-te, pois, mas fica-te em tua casa. E por que te intrometerás em um mal, para que caias tu, e Judá contigo?
[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 Amazias não deu ouvidos; pelo que subiu Joás rei de Israel, e vieram-se de rosto ele e Amazias rei de Judá, em Bete-Semes, que é de Judá.
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 Judá caiu diante de Israel, e fugiram cada um a suas moradas.
The Israeli army defeated the army of Judah, and all the soldiers of Judah fled and ran back home.
13 Além disso Joás rei de Israel tomou a Amazias rei de Judá, filho de Joás filho de Acazias, em Bete-Semes: e veio a Jerusalém, e rompeu o muro de Jerusalém desde a porta de Efraim até a porta da esquina, quatrocentos côvados.
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 ouro e a prata, e todos os vasos que foram achados na casa do SENHOR, e nos tesouros da casa do rei, e os filhos em reféns, e voltou-se a 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 Os demais dos feitos de Joás que executou, e suas façanhas, e como lutou contra Amasias rei de Judá, não estão escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de 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 descansou Joás com seus pais, e foi sepultado em Samaria com os reis de Israel; e reinou em seu lugar Jeroboão seu filho.
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 Amazias, filho de Joás, rei de Judá, viveu depois da morte de Joás filho de Jeoacaz rei de Israel, quinze anos.
Amaziah, the king of Judah, lived for 15 more years after Jehoash, the king of Israel, died.
18 Os demais dos feitos de Amazias não estão escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?
[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 fizeram conspiração contra ele em Jerusalém, e ele fugiu a Laquis; mas enviaram atrás dele a Laquis, e ali o mataram.
Some people in Jerusalem plotted against Amaziah, so he fled to Lachish [city]. But they followed him there and killed him.
20 Trouxeram-no logo sobre cavalos, e sepultaram-no em Jerusalém com seus pais, na cidade de Davi.
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 Então todo o povo de Judá tomou a Azarias, que era de dezesseis anos, e fizeram-no rei em lugar de Amasias seu pai.
Then all the people of Judah appointed Amaziah’s son Uzziah, when he was 16 years old, to be their king
22 Ele edificou Elate, e a restituiu a Judá, depois que o rei descansou com seus pais.
After his father died, Uzziah’s workers captured Elath [city], and it came under the control of Judah again.
23 O ano quinze de Amazias filho de Joás rei de Judá, começou a reinar Jeroboão filho de Joás sobre Israel em Samaria; e reinou quarenta e um anos.
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 era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, e não se separou de todos os pecados de Jeroboão filho de Nebate, o que fez pecar 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 Ele restituiu os termos de Israel desde a entrada de Hamate até o mar da planície, conforme à palavra do SENHOR Deus de Israel, a qual havia ele falado por seu servo Jonas filho de Amitai, profeta que foi de Gate-Hefer.
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 Porquanto o SENHOR olhou a muito amarga aflição de Israel; que não havia escravo nem livre, nem quem desse ajuda 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 o SENHOR não havia determinado apagar o nome de Israel de debaixo do céu: portanto, os salvou 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 E o demais dos feitos de Jeroboão, e todas as coisas que fez, e sua valentia, e todas as guerras que fez, e como restituiu a Judá em Israel a Damasco e a Hamate, não está escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis 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 descansou Jeroboão com seus pais, os reis de Israel, e reinou em seu lugar Zacarias seu filho.
Jeroboam died [EUP], [and was buried] where the other kings of Israel [were buried], and his son Zechariah became the king.
