1 N o décimo oitavo ano do rei Jeroboão, filho de Nebate, começou Abião a reinar sobre Judá.

Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, Abijam became king over Judah.

2 R einou três anos em Jerusalém. Era o nome de sua mãe Maacá, filha de Absalão.

He reigned three years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

3 E le andou em todos os pecados que seu pai tinha cometido antes dele; o seu coração não foi perfeito para com o Senhor seu Deus como o coração de Davi, seu pai.

He walked in all the sins of his father which he had committed before him; and his heart was not wholly devoted to the Lord his God, like the heart of his father David.

4 M as por amor de Davi o Senhor lhe deu uma lâmpada em Jerusalém, levantando a seu filho depois dele, e confirmando a Jerusalem;

But for David’s sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to raise up his son after him and to establish Jerusalem;

5 p orque Davi fez o que era reto aos olhos do Senhor, e não se desviou de tudo o que lhe ordenou em todos os dias da sua vida, a não ser no caso de Urias, o heteu.

because David did what was right in the sight of the Lord, and had not turned aside from anything that He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the case of Uriah the Hittite.

6 O ra, houve guerra entre Roboão e Jeroboão todos os dias da vida de Roboão.

There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

7 Q uanto ao restante dos atos de Abião, e a tudo quanto fez, porventura não estão escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá? Também houve guerra entre Abião e Jeroboão.

Now the rest of the acts of Abijam and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam. Asa Succeeds Abijam

8 A bião dormiu com seus pais, e o sepultaram na cidade de Davi. E Asa, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.

And Abijam slept with his fathers and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son became king in his place.

9 N o vigésimo ano de Jeroboão, rei de Israel, começou Asa a reinar em Judá,

So in the twentieth year of Jeroboam the king of Israel, Asa began to reign as king of Judah.

10 e reinou quarenta e um anos em Jerusalém. Era o nome de sua mãe Maacá, filha de Absalão.

He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

11 A sa fez o que era reto aos olhos do Senhor, como Davi, seu pai.

Asa did what was right in the sight of the Lord, like David his father.

12 P orque tirou da terra os sodomitas, e removeu todos os ídolos que seus pais tinham feito.

He also put away the male cult prostitutes from the land and removed all the idols which his fathers had made.

13 E até a Maacá, sua mãe, removeu para que não fosse rainha, porquanto tinha feito um abominável ídolo para servir de Asera; e Asa desfez esse ídolo, e o queimou junto ao ribeiro de Cedrom.

He also removed Maacah his mother from being queen mother, because she had made a horrid image as an Asherah; and Asa cut down her horrid image and burned it at the brook Kidron.

14 O s altos, porém, não foram tirados; todavia o coração de Asa foi reto para com o Senhor todos os seus dias.

But the high places were not taken away; nevertheless the heart of Asa was wholly devoted to the Lord all his days.

15 E trouxe para a casa do Senhor as coisas que seu pai havia consagrado, e as coisas que ele mesmo consagrara: prata, ouro e vasos.

He brought into the house of the Lord the dedicated things of his father and his own dedicated things: silver and gold and utensils.

16 O ra, houve guerra entre Asa e Baasa, rei de Israel, todos os seus dias.

Now there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

17 P ois Baasa, rei de Israel, subiu contra Judá, e edificou Ramá, para que a ninguém fosse permitido sair, nem entrar a ter com Asa, rei de Judá.

Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and fortified Ramah in order to prevent anyone from going out or coming in to Asa king of Judah.

18 E ntão Asa tomou toda a prata e ouro que ficaram nos tesouros da casa do Senhor, e os tesouros da casa do rei, e os entregou nas mãos de seus servos. E o rei Asa os enviou a Bene-Hadade, filho de Tabrimom, filho de Heziom, rei da Síria, que habitava em Damasco, dizendo:

Then Asa took all the silver and the gold which were left in the treasuries of the house of the Lord and the treasuries of the king’s house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants. And King Asa sent them to Ben-hadad the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, saying,

19 H aja aliança entre mim e ti, como houve entre meu pai e teu pai. Eis que aqui te mando um presente de prata e de ouro; vai, e anula a tua aliança com Baasa, rei de Israel, para que ele se retire de mim.

“ Let there be a treaty between you and me, as between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you a present of silver and gold; go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel so that he will withdraw from me.”

20 B ene-Hadade, pois, deu ouvidos ao rei Asa, e enviou os capitães dos seus exércitos contra as cidades de Israel; e feriu a Ijom, a Dã, a Abel-Bete-Maacá, e a todo o distrito de Quinerote, com toda a terra de Naftali.

So Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, and conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah and all Chinneroth, besides all the land of Naphtali.

21 E sucedeu que, ouvindo-o Baasa, deixou de edificar Ramá, e ficou em Tirza.

When Baasha heard of it, he ceased fortifying Ramah and remained in Tirzah.

22 E ntão o rei Asa fez apregoar por toda a Judá que todos, sem exceção, trouxessem as pedras de Ramá, e a madeira com que Baasa a edificava; e com elas o rei Asa edificou Geba de Benjamim e Mizpá.

Then King Asa made a proclamation to all Judah—none was exempt—and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber with which Baasha had built. And King Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin and Mizpah. Jehoshaphat Succeeds Asa

23 Q uanto ao restante de todos os atos de Asa, e todo o seu poder, e tudo quanto fez, e as cidades que edificou, porventura não estão escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá? Porém, na velhice, ficou, enfermo dos pés.

Now the rest of all the acts of Asa and all his might and all that he did and the cities which he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

24 E Asa dormiu com seus pais, e foi sepultado com eles na cidade de Davi seu pai; e Jeosafá, seu filho reinou em seu lugar.

And Asa slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place. Nadab, then Baasha, Rules over Israel

25 N adabe, filho de Jeroboão, começou a reinar sobre Israel no segundo ano de Asa, rei de Judá, e reinou sobre Israel dois anos.

Now Nadab the son of Jeroboam became king over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years.

26 E fez o que era mau aos olhos de Senhor, andando nos caminhos de seu pai, e no seu pecado com que tinha feito Israel pecar.

He did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father and in his sin which he made Israel sin.

27 C onspirou contra ele Baasa, filho de Aías, da casa de Issacar, e o feriu em Gibetom, que pertencia aos filisteus; pois Nadabe e todo o Israel sitiavam a Gibetom.

Then Baasha the son of Ahijah of the house of Issachar conspired against him, and Baasha struck him down at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, while Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.

28 M atou-o, pois, Baasa no terceiro ano de Asa, rei de Judá, e reinou em seu lugar.

So Baasha killed him in the third year of Asa king of Judah and reigned in his place.

29 E logo que começou a reinar, feriu toda a casa de Jeroboão; a ninguém de Jeroboão que tivesse fôlego deixou de destruir totalmente, conforme a palavra do Senhor que ele falara por intermédio de seu servo Aías, o silonita,

It came about as soon as he was king, he struck down all the household of Jeroboam. He did not leave to Jeroboam any persons alive, until he had destroyed them, according to the word of the Lord, which He spoke by His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,

30 p or causa dos pecados que Jeroboão cometera, e com que fizera Israel pecar, e por causa da provocação com que provocara ã ira o Senhor Deus de Israel.

and because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, because of his provocation with which he provoked the Lord God of Israel to anger.

31 Q uanto ao restante dos atos de Nadabe, e a tudo quanto fez, porventura não estão escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel?

Now the rest of the acts of Nadab and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel? War with Judah

32 H ouve guerra entre Asa e Baasa, rei de Israel, todos os seus dias.

There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

33 N o terceiro ano de Asa, rei de Judá, Baasa, filho de Aías, começou a reinar sobre todo o Israel em Tirza, e reinou vinte e quatro anos.

In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah became king over all Israel at Tirzah, and reigned twenty-four years.

34 E fez o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor, andando no caminho de Jeroboão e no seu pecado com que tinha feito Israel pecar.

He did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin which he made Israel sin.
