1 I n the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam became king over Judah.

No décimo oitavo ano do rei Jeroboão, filho de Nebate, começou Abião a reinar sobre Judá.

2 H e reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maachah the granddaughter of Abishalom.

Reinou três anos em Jerusalém. Era o nome de sua mãe Maacá, filha de Absalão.

3 A nd he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; his heart was not loyal to the Lord his God, as was the heart of his father David.

Ele 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.

4 N evertheless for David’s sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, by setting up his son after him and by establishing Jerusalem;

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

5 b ecause David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from anything that He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

porque 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.

6 A nd there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

Ora, houve guerra entre Roboão e Jeroboão todos os dias da vida de Roboão.

7 N ow 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.

Quanto 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.

8 S o Abijam rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then Asa his son reigned in his place. Asa Reigns in Judah

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

9 I n the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa became king over Judah.

No vigésimo ano de Jeroboão, rei de Israel, começou Asa a reinar em Judá,

10 A nd he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His grandmother’s name was Maachah the granddaughter of Abishalom.

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

11 A sa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as did his father David.

Asa fez o que era reto aos olhos do Senhor, como Davi, seu pai.

12 A nd he banished the perverted persons from the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

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

13 A lso he removed Maachah his grandmother from being queen mother, because she had made an obscene image of Asherah. And Asa cut down her obscene image and burned it by the Brook Kidron.

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.

14 B ut the high places were not removed. Nevertheless Asa’s heart was loyal to the Lord all his days.

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

15 H e also brought into the house of the Lord the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which he himself had dedicated: silver and gold and utensils.

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.

16 N ow there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

Ora, houve guerra entre Asa e Baasa, rei de Israel, todos os seus dias.

17 A nd Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

Pois 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.

18 T hen Asa took all the silver and gold that was 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 Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying,

Então 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:

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

Haja 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.

20 S o Ben-Hadad heeded King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel. He attacked Ijon, Dan, Abel Beth Maachah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

Bene-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.

21 N ow it happened, when Baasha heard it, that he stopped building Ramah, and remained in Tirzah.

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

22 T hen King Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was exempted. And they took away the stones and timber of Ramah, which Baasha had used for building; and with them King Asa built Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

Então 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.

23 T he rest of all the acts of Asa, all his might, 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.

Quanto 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.

24 S o Asa rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father. Then Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place. Nadab Reigns in Israel

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.

25 N ow 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.

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

26 A nd he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin by which he had made Israel sin.

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.

27 T hen Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him. And Baasha killed him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, while Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon.

Conspirou 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.

28 B aasha killed him in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.

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

29 A nd it was so, when he became king, that he killed all the house of Jeroboam. He did not leave to Jeroboam anyone that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord which He had spoken by His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,

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,

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

por 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.

31 N ow 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?

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

32 A nd there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days. Baasha Reigns in Israel

Houve guerra entre Asa e Baasa, rei de Israel, todos os seus dias.

33 I n the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah became king over all Israel in Tirzah, and reigned twenty-four years.

No 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.

34 H e did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin by which he had made Israel sin.

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.
