1 A mazias tinha vinte e cinco anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou vinte e nove anos em Jerusalém. E o nome de sua mãe era Jeoadã, de Jerusalém.

Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.

2 E le fez o que era reto aos olhos do Senhor, mas não o fez com coração perfeito.

And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, but not with a loyal heart.

3 Q uando o reino já lhe tinha sido confirmado, ele matou os seus servos que tinham assassinado o rei seu pai.

Now it happened, as soon as the kingdom was established for him, that he executed his servants who had murdered his father the king.

4 C ontudo não matou os filhos deles mas fez segundo está escrito na lei: no livro de Moisés, como o Senhor ordenou, dizendo: Não morrerão os pais pelos filhos nem os filhos pelos pais; mas cada um morrerá pelo seu pecado.

However he did not execute their children, but did as it is written in the Law in the Book of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall the children be put to death for their fathers; but a person shall die for his own sin.” The War Against Edom

5 D epois Amazias congregou Judá e o colocou, segundo as suas casas paternas sob comandantes de milhares e de centenas, por todo o Judá e Benjamim; e os contou de vinte anos para cima, e achou deles trezentos mil escolhidos que podiam ir ã guerra e sabiam manejar lança e escudo.

Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together and set over them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, according to their fathers’ houses, throughout all Judah and Benjamin; and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them to be three hundred thousand choice men, able to go to war, who could handle spear and shield.

6 T ambém de Israel tomou a soldo cem mil varões valentes, por cem talentos de prata.

He also hired one hundred thousand mighty men of valor from Israel for one hundred talents of silver.

7 V eio ter com ele, porém, um homem de Deus, dizendo: ç rei, não deixes ir contigo o exército de Israel, porque o Senhor não é com Israel, a saber, com todos os filhos de Efraim.

But a man of God came to him, saying, “O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for the Lord is not with Israel— not with any of the children of Ephraim.

8 M as se julgas que assim serás forte para a peleja, Deus te fará cair diante do inimigo; pois Deus tem poder para ajudar e para fazer cair.

But if you go, be gone! Be strong in battle! Even so, God shall make you fall before the enemy; for God has power to help and to overthrow.”

9 E ntão perguntou Amazias ao homem de Deus: Mas que se fará dos cem talentos de prata que dei

Then Amaziah said to the man of God, “But what shall we do about the hundred talents which I have given to the troops of Israel?” And the man of God answered, “The Lord is able to give you much more than this.”

10 E ntão Amazias separou as tropas que lhe tinham vindo de Efraim, para que voltassem para a sua terra; pelo que muito se acendeu a ira deles contra Judá, e voltaram para a sua terra ardendo em ira.

So Amaziah discharged the troops that had come to him from Ephraim, to go back home. Therefore their anger was greatly aroused against Judah, and they returned home in great anger.

11 A mazias, cobrando ânimo, conduziu o seu povo, e foi ao Vale do Sal, onde matou dez mil dos filhos de Seir.

Then Amaziah strengthened himself, and leading his people, he went to the Valley of Salt and killed ten thousand of the people of Seir.

12 O s filhos de Judá prenderam vivos outros dez mil, e trazendo-os ao cume da rocha, lançaram-nos dali abaixo, de modo que todos foram despedaçados.

Also the children of Judah took captive ten thousand alive, brought them to the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were dashed in pieces.

13 M as os homens das tropas que Amazias despedira, não deixando que fossem com ele ã batalha, deram sobre as cidades de Judá, desde Samária até Bete-Horom, e dos seus habitantes mataram três mil, e saquearam grande despojo.

But as for the soldiers of the army which Amaziah had discharged, so that they would not go with him to battle, they raided the cities of Judah from Samaria to Beth Horon, killed three thousand in them, and took much spoil.

14 Q uando Amazias veio da matança dos edomeus, trouxe consigo os deuses dos filhos de Seir e os elevou para serem os seus deuses, prostrando-se diante deles e queimando-lhes incenso.

Now it was so, after Amaziah came from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the people of Seir, set them up to be his gods, and bowed down before them and burned incense to them.

15 P elo que o Senhor se irou contra Amazias e lhe enviou um profeta, que lhe disse: Por que buscaste os deuses deste povo, os quais não livraram o seu próprio povo da tua mão?

Therefore the anger of the Lord was aroused against Amaziah, and He sent him a prophet who said to him, “Why have you sought the gods of the people, which could not rescue their own people from your hand?”

16 E nquanto ele ainda falava com o rei, este lhe respondeu: Fizemos-te conselheiro do rei? Cala-te! Por que haverias de ser morto? Então o profeta calou, havendo dito: Sei que Deus resolveu destruir-te, porquanto fizeste isto, e não deste ouvidos a meu conselho.

So it was, as he talked with him, that the king said to him, “Have we made you the king’s counselor? Cease! Why should you be killed?” Then the prophet ceased, and said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not heeded my advice.” Israel Defeats Judah

17 T endo Amazias, rei de Judá, tomado conselho, mandou dizer a Jeoás, filho de Jeoacaz, filho de Jeú, rei de Israel: Vem, vejamo-nos face a face.

Now Amaziah king of Judah asked advice and sent to Joash the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us face one another in battle. ”

18 M as Jeoás, rei de Israel, mandou responder a Amazias, rei de Judá: O cardo que estava no Líbano mandou dizer ao cedro que estava no Líbano: Dá tua filha por mulher a meu filho. Mas uma fera que estava no Líbano passou e pisou o cardo.

And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as wife’; and a wild beast that was in Lebanon passed by and trampled the thistle.

19 T u dizes a ti mesmo: Eis que feri Edom. Assim o teu coração se eleva para te gloriares. Agora, pois, fica em tua casa; por que te meterias no mal, para caíres tu e Judá contigo?

Indeed you say that you have defeated the Edomites, and your heart is lifted up to boast. Stay at home now; why should you meddle with trouble, that you should fall—you and Judah with you?”

20 A mazias, porém, não lhe deu ouvidos; pois isto vinha de Deus, para entregá-los na mão dos seus inimigos, porque buscaram os deuses de Edom.

But Amaziah would not heed, for it came from God, that He might give them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought the gods of Edom.

21 S ubiu, pois, Jeoás, rei de Israel; e ele e Amazias, rei de Judá, se viram face a face em Bete-Semes, que pertence a Judá.

So Joash king of Israel went out; and he and Amaziah king of Judah faced one another at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.

22 E Judá foi desbaratado diante de Israel, e fugiu cada um para a sua tenda.

And Judah was defeated by Israel, and every man fled to his tent.

23 E Jeoás, rei de Israel, prendeu Amazias, rei de Judá, filho de Joás, o filho de Jeoacaz, em Bete-Semes, e o levou a Jerusalém; e derrubou o muro de Jerusalém, desde a porta de Efraim até a porta da esquina, quatrocentos côvados.

Then Joash the king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth Shemesh; and he brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gate—four hundred cubits.

24 T ambém tomou todo o ouro, e toda a prata, e todos os utensílios que se acharam na casa de Deus com Obede-Edom, e os tesouros da casa do rei, e os reféns, e voltou pura Samária.

And he took all the gold and silver, all the articles that were found in the house of God with Obed-Edom, the treasures of the king’s house, and hostages, and returned to Samaria. Death of Amaziah

25 E Amazias, filho de Joás, rei de Judá, viveu quinze anos depois da morte de Jeoás, filho de Jeoacaz, rei de Israel.

Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived fifteen years after the death of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.

26 Q uanto ao restante dos atos de Amazias, desde os primeiros até os últimos, não estão porventura escritos no livro dos reis de Judá e de Israel?

Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, from first to last, indeed are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?

27 D esde o tempo em que Amazias se desviou do Senhor, conspiraram contra ele em Jerusalém, e ele fugiu para Laquis; mas perseguiram-no até Laquis, e ali o mataram.

After the time that Amaziah turned away from following the Lord, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.

28 E o trouxeram sobre cavalos e o sepultaram junto a seus pais na cidade de Davi.

Then they brought him on horses and buried him with his fathers in the City of Judah.
