2 Chronicles

15

1The Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded:
1Então veio o Espírito de Deus sobre Azarias, filho de Odede,
2and he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, “Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin! Yahweh is with you, while you are with him; and if you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
2que saiu ao encontro de Asa e lhe disse: Ouvi-me, Asa, e todo o Judá e Benjamim: O Senhor está convosco, enquanto vós estais com ele; se o buscardes, o achareis; mas se o deixardes, ele vos deixará.
3Now for a long time Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
3Ora, por muito tempo Israel esteve sem o verdadeiro Deus, sem sacerdote que o ensinasse e sem lei.
4But when in their distress they turned to Yahweh, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.
4Quando, porém, na sua angústia voltaram para o Senhor, Deus de Israel, e o buscaram, o acharam.
5In those times there was no peace to him who went out, nor to him who came in; but great troubles were on all the inhabitants of the lands.
5E naqueles tempos não havia paz nem para o que saia, nem para o que entrava, mas grandes perturbações estavam sobre todos os habitantes daquelas terras.
6They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God troubled them with all adversity.
6Pois nação contra nação e cidade contra cidade se despedaçavam, porque Deus as conturbara com toda sorte de aflições.
7But you be strong, and don’t let your hands be slack; for your work shall be rewarded.”
7Vós, porém, esforçai-vos, e não desfaleçam as vossas mãos; porque a vossa obra terá uma recompensa.
8When Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from the hill country of Ephraim; and he renewed the altar of Yahweh, that was before the porch of Yahweh.
8Asa, tendo ouvido estas palavras, e a profecia do profeta filho de Odede, cobrou ânimo e lançou fora as abominações de toda a terra de Judá e de Benjamim, como também das cidades que tomara na região montanhosa de Efraim, e renovou o altar do Senhor, que estava diante do pórtico do Senhor.
9He gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who lived with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that Yahweh his God was with him.
9E congregou todo o Judá e Benjamim, e os de Efraim, Manassés e Simeão que com eles peregrinavam; pois que muitos e Israel tinham vindo a ele quando viram que o Senhor seu Deus era com ele.
10So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
10Ajuntaram-se em Jerusalém no terceiro mês, no décimo quinto ano do reinado de Asa.
11They sacrificed to Yahweh in that day, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep.
11E no mesmo dia ofereceram em sacrifício ao Senhor, do despojo que trouxeram, setecentos bois e sete mil ovelhas.
12They entered into the covenant to seek Yahweh, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul;
12E entraram no pacto de buscarem ao Senhor, Deus de seus pais, de todo o seu coração e de toda a sua alma;
13and that whoever would not seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
13e de que todo aquele que não buscasse ao Senhor, Deus de Israel, fosse morto, tanto pequeno como grande, tanto homem como mulher.
14They swore to Yahweh with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
14E prestaram juramento ao Senhor em alta voz, com júbilo, ao som de trombetas e buzinas.
15All Judah rejoiced at the oath; for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and Yahweh gave them rest all around.
15E todo o Judá se alegrou deste juramento; porque de todo o seu coração juraram, e de toda a sua vontade buscaram ao Senhor, e o acharam; e o Senhor lhes deu descanso ao redor.
16Also Maacah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and made dust of it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.
16O rei Asa depôs Maacá, sua mãe, para que não fosse mais rainha, porquanto ela fizera um abominável ídolo para servir de Asera, ao qual Asa derrubou e, despedaçando-o, o queimou junto ao ribeiro de Cedrom.
17But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
17Os altos, porém, não se tiraram de Israel; contudo o coração de Asa foi perfeito todos os seus dias.
18He brought into God’s house the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.
18E trouxe para a casa de Deus as coisas que seu pai tinha consagrado, e as que ele mesmo tinha consagrado: prata, ouro e utensílios.
19There was no more war to the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
19E não mais houve guerra até o ano trigésimo quinto do reinado de Asa.
