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

In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nabat, Abijam became king over Judah.

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

He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. 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.

And he walked in all the sins which his father had done before him. He was not faithful to the Lord with all his heart, 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 the Lord his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem because of David. He gave him a son to rule after him and to keep Jerusalem strong.

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 eyes of the Lord. He did not turn away from anything the Lord told him to do all the days of his life, except in what happened with Uriah the Hittite.

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

And 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.

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

Abijam died and they buried him in the city of David. His son Asa became king in his place. Asa Rules Judah

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

In the twentieth year of Jeroboam the king of Israel, Asa began to rule as king of Judah.

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

He ruled for forty-one years in Jerusalem. 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.

And Asa did what was right in the eyes 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 sent away the men from the land who sold the use of their bodies in their religion. He took away all the false gods his father 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 stopped his mother Maacah from being queen mother, because she had made a hated object of the false goddess Asherah. And Asa cut down her hated object and burned it at the river Kidron.

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

The high places were not taken away. But Asa was faithful to the Lord with all his heart for 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 holy things of his father and his own holy things, silver, gold, and holy objects.

16 O ra, houve 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.

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. He built walls around Ramah to stop 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 storerooms of the Lord’s house and the king’s house, and gave them to his servants. King Asa sent them to Ben-hadad the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who lived in Damascus. Asa said,

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 an agreement of peace between me and you, as between my father and your father. See, I have sent you a gift of silver and gold. Go and break your agreement of peace with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will leave 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.

Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel. He destroyed Ijon, Dan, Abel-bethmaacah, all Chinneroth, and all the land of Naphtali.

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

When Baasha heard about it, he stopped building a wall around Ramah, and stayed 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 the news known to all Judah. There was no one who did not hear it. They carried away the stones of Ramah and its pieces of wood with which Baasha had built. And King Asa used them to build Geba of Benjamin and Mizpah.

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 strength and all he did and the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? But when he was old he had a disease 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.

Asa died and was buried with his fathers in the city of his father David. His son Jehoshaphat ruled in his place. Nadab Rules 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.

Jeroboam’s son Nadab became king of Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah. And he ruled over Israel for 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 what was sinful in the eyes of the Lord. He walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with 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 family of Issachar made plans against him. Baasha killed him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines. Nadab and all Israel had been gathering their army in battle around 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 ruled 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,

As soon as he was king, Baasha killed all those of the family of Jeroboam. He did not leave to Jeroboam any person alive, destroying them all. It happened just as the word of the Lord was spoken through God’s 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.

It happened because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he sinned and which he made Israel sin. He made the Lord God of Israel angry.

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?

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

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

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 of all Israel at Tirzah. He ruled for 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 what was sinful in the eyes of the Lord. He walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin which he made Israel sin.
