2 Reis 16

1 No ano dezessete de Peca filho de Remalias, começou a reinar Acaz filho de Jotão rei de Judá.

When Pekah had been ruling Israel for almost 17 years, Ahaz, the son of Jotham, became the king of Judah.

2 Quando começou a reinar Acaz, era de vinte anos, e reinou em Jerusalém dezesseis anos: e não fez o que era correto aos olhos do SENHOR seu Deus, como Davi seu pai;

He was 20 years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. He did not do things that pleased Yahweh his God, good things like his ancestor King David had done.

3 Antes andou no caminho dos reis de Israel, e ainda fez passar pelo fogo a seu filho, segundo as abominações das nações que o SENHOR expulsou de diante dos filhos de Israel.

Instead, he was as sinful as the kings of Israel had been. He even sacrificed his son as an offering to idols. That was worse than the disgusting things that the people who previously lived there had done, people whom Yahweh had expelled as the Israelis were advancing through the land.

4 Também sacrificou, e queimou incenso nos altos, e sobre as colinas, e debaixo de toda árvore frondosa.

Ahaz offered sacrifices and burned incense [to honor Yahweh] on the tops of many hills and under many [HYP] big trees, [instead of in Jerusalem as Yahweh had commanded].

5 Então Resim rei da Síria, e Peca filho de Remalias rei de Israel, subiram a Jerusalém para fazer guerra, e cercar a Acaz; mas não puderam tomá-la.

While he was the king of Judah, King Rezin of Assyria and King Pekah of Israel [came with their armies] and attacked Jerusalem. They surrounded the city, but they could not conquer it.

6 Naquele tempo Resim rei da Síria restituiu Elate à Síria, e expulsou aos judeus de Elate; e os sírios vieram a Elate, e habitaram ali até hoje.

At that time the [army of the] king of Edom expelled the people of Judah who were living in Elath [city]. Some of the people of Edom started to live there, and they are still living there.

7 Então Acaz enviou embaixadores a Tiglate-Pileser rei da Assíria, dizendo: Eu sou teu servo e teu filho: sobe, e defende-me da mão do rei da Síria, e da mão do rei de Israel, que se levantaram contra mim.

King Ahaz sent messengers to King Tiglath-Pileser of Assyria, to tell this message to him: “I promise that I will completely do what you tell me to do, [as though] I [was] your son. Please come and rescue us from the armies of Syria and Israel who are attacking my country.”

8 E tomando Acaz a prata e o ouro que se achou na casa do SENHOR, e nos tesouros da casa real, enviou um presente ao rei da Assíria.

Ahaz took the silver and gold that was in the palace and in the temple and sent it to Assyria to be a present/gift for the king of Assyria.

9 E atendeu-lhe o rei da Assíria; pois subiu o rei da Assíria contra Damasco, e tomou-a, e transportou os moradores a Quir, e matou a Resim.

So Tiglath-Pileser did what Ahaz requested. His army marched to Damascus and captured it, and they took the people of Damascus as prisoners to live in the capital city of Assyria, and executed [King] Rezin.

10 E foi o rei Acaz a encontrar a Tiglate-Pileser rei da Assíria em Damasco; e visto que havia o rei Acaz o altar que estava em Damasco, enviou a Urias sacerdote o desenho e a descrição do altar, conforme a toda sua feitura.

When King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet King Tiglath-Pileser, he saw the altar that was there. So he sent to Uriah, the Supreme Priest [in Jerusalem], a drawing of the altar and a model that was exactly like the altar in Damascus.

11 E Urias o sacerdote edificou o altar; conforme a tudo o que o rei Acaz havia enviado de Damasco, assim o fez o sacerdote Urias, antes que o rei Acaz viesse de Damasco.

So Uriah built an altar [in Jerusalem], following the drawing that King Ahaz had sent. Uriah finished the altar before Ahaz returned [to Jerusalem] from Damascus.

12 E logo que veio o rei de Damasco, e viu o altar, aproximou-se o rei a ele, e sacrificou nele;

When the king returned from Damascus, he saw the altar. He went to it

13 E acendeu seu holocausto, e sua oferta de alimentos, e derramou suas libações, e espalhou o sangue de seus sacrifícios pacíficos sobre o altar.

and burned animal sacrifices and a grain offering on it. He also poured a wine offering on it and threw on it the blood of the offerings to maintain fellowship with God.

14 E o altar de bronze que estava diante do SENHOR, ele o moveu de diante da parte frontal da casa, entre o altar e o templo do SENHOR, e o pôs ao lado do altar até o norte.

The old bronze altar which had been dedicated long ago to Yahweh was between the new altar and the temple, so Ahaz moved it to the north side of his new altar, [which was bigger than the old altar].

15 E o rei Acaz mandou ao sacerdote Urias, dizendo: No grande altar acenderás o holocausto da manhã e a oferta de alimentos da noite, e o holocausto do rei e sua oferta de alimentos, e também o holocausto de todo o povo da terra e suas ofertas de alimentos e suas libações; e espargirás sobre ele todo o sangue do holocausto, e todo o sangue do sacrifício; e o altar de bronze será meu para nele consultar.

Then King Ahaz ordered Uriah: “Each morning put on this new altar the sacrifices that will be completely burned, and in the evening put on it the grain offering, along with my offering and the offerings that the people bring, ones that will be completely burned, and my grain offering and the people’s grain and wine offerings. Pour against the sides of the altar the blood of all the animals that are sacrificed. But the old bronze altar will be only for me to use to find out what Yahweh wants me to do.”

16 E o sacerdote Urias fez conforme a todas as coisas que o rei Acaz lhe havia mandado.

So Uriah did what the king commanded him to do.

17 E cortou o rei Acaz as cintas das bases, e tirou-lhes as fontes; tirou também o mar de sobre os bois de bronze que estavam debaixo dele, e o pôs sobre o piso de pedra.

King Ahaz told his workers to take off the frames of the carts [that were outside the temple] and to take down the basins that were on them. They also took down the bronze tank from the backs of the bronze [statues of the] oxen and put it on a stone foundation.

18 Também a tenda do sábado que haviam edificado na casa, e a entrada de fora do rei, ele os moveu do templo do SENHOR, por causa do rei da Assíria.

Then to please the king of Assyria, Ahaz had them remove from the temple the roof under which the people walked into the temple on the Sabbath Day, and closed up the private entrance into the temple for the kings of Judah.

19 Os demais dos feitos de Acaz que pôs por obra, não estão todos escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?

[If you want to know about] the other things that Ahaz did, they are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.

20 E descansou o rei Acaz com seus pais e foi sepultado com seus pais na cidade de Davi: e reinou em seu lugar Ezequias seu filho.

Ahaz died [EUP], and he was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried. Then his son Hezekiah became the king.
