1 Kings 15

1 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam became king of Judah,

1 No décimo oitavo ano do reinado de Jeroboão, filho de Nebate, Abias começou o seu reinado em Judá,

2 and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.

2 e reinou três anos em Jerusalém. A mãe de Abias se chamava Maaca, filha de Absalão.

3 And Abijam walked in all the sins that his father before him had committed, and his heart was not as fully devoted to the LORD his God as the heart of David his forefather had been.

3 Ele cometeu todos os pecados que o seu pai cometeu, e seu coração não era perfeito para com o Senhor, como era perfeito o coração do rei Davi, seu antecessor.

4 Nevertheless, for the sake of David, the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem by raising up a son to succeed him and to make Jerusalem strong.

4 Mas por amor a Davi, o Senhor, o seu Deus, levantou o seu filho como seu sucessor e fortaleceu Jerusalém.

5 For David had done what was right in the eyes of the LORD and had not turned aside from anything the LORD commanded all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

5 Porque Davi havia feito o que o Senhor aprova e havia obedecido aos mandamentos do Senhor durante toda a sua vida, exceto no caso de Urias, o heteu.

6 And there was war between the houses of Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of Abijam’s life.

6 Durante toda a vida de Abias sempre houve guerra entre Roboão e Jeroboão.

7 As for the rest of the acts of Abijam, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

7 Os demais acontecimentos da história de Abias estão registrados no Livro da História dos Reis de Judá. Também houve guerra entre Abias e Jeroboão.

8 And Abijam rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David, and his son Asa reigned in his place.

8 Quando ele morreu, foi sepultado em Jerusalém, e seu filho Asa reinou em seu lugar.

9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam’s reign over Israel, Asa became king of Judah,

9 Asa se tornou rei de Judá, em Jerusalém, no vigésimo ano do reinado de Jeroboão, rei de Israel;

10 and he reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.

10 e reinou quarenta e um anos em Jerusalém. Sua avó era Maaca, filha de Absalão.

11 And Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as his father David had done.

11 Asa agradou ao Senhor, conforme o rei Davi, seu pai.

12 He banished the male shrine prostitutes from the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

12 Ele mandou matar os prostitutos cultuais e retirou todas as imagens que seu pai havia feito.

13 He also removed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made a detestable Asherah pole. Asa chopped down the pole and burned it in the Kidron Valley.

13 Tirou do trono sua avó Maaca que era a rainha-mãe, porque ela tinha feito um poste sagrado repugnante. Ele derrubou o poste sagrado e o queimou no vale de Cedrom.

14 The high places were not removed, but Asa’s heart was fully devoted to the LORD all his days.

14 Embora os altares idólatras dos montes não tenham sido retirados, o coração de Asa foi dedicado ao Senhor todos os dias.

15 And he brought into the house of the LORD the silver and gold and the articles that he and his father had dedicated.

15 Ele trouxe de volta para a casa do Senhor as coisas consagradas por ele e pelo seu pai: os vasos de prata e de ouro.

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

16 Sempre houve guerra entre Asa, rei de Judá, e Baasa, rei de Israel.

17 Baasha king of Israel went to war against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.

17 Baasa, rei de Israel, invadiu Judá e construiu a cidade-fortaleza de Ramá, esperando assim cortar todo o comércio com Jerusalém.

18 So Asa withdrew all the silver and gold that remained in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace. He entrusted it to his servants and sent them with this message to Ben-hadad son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, the king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus:

18 Então Asa pegou toda a prata e todo o ouro deixados no tesouro do templo do Senhor, e todos os tesouros do palácio, e confiou tudo aos seus oficiais para levarem para Ben-Hadade, filho de Tabriom e neto de Hezrom, rei da Síria, que governava em Damasco

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

19 com esta mensagem: “Sejamos aliados, assim como nossos pais foram aliados. Estou lhe mandando um presente de ouro e de prata. Agora rompe o seu acordo com Baasa, rei de Israel, de maneira que ele se retire do meu país”.

20 And Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, conquering Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah, and the whole land of Naphtali, including the region of Chinnereth.

20 Ben-Hadade concordou com a proposta do rei Asa e mandou seus exércitos contra algumas das cidades de Israel. Ele destruiu Ijom, Dã, Abel-Bete-Maaca, toda a região de Quinerete e toda a terra de Naftali.

21 When Baasha learned of this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and withdrew to Tirzah.

21 Quando Baasa teve notícia do ataque, parou a construção da cidade de Ramá e voltou para Tirza.

22 Then King Asa summoned all the men of Judah, with no exceptions, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and the timbers Baasha had used for building. And with these materials King Asa built up Geba of Benjamin, as well as Mizpah.

22 Então o rei Asa reuniu todos os homens de Judá, pedindo que todos os homens fortes, sem exceção, ajudassem a demolir a cidade de Ramá e levassem embora as pedras e as madeiras que Baasa havia usado. O rei Asa usou esses materiais para construir a cidade de Geba, em Benjamim, e a cidade de Mispá.

23 Now the rest of the acts of Asa, along with all his might, all his accomplishments, and the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? In his old age, however, he became diseased in his feet.

23 O demais acontecimentos da história da vida de Asa, suas conquistas e todos os seus atos, bem como as cidades que ele construiu, encontram-se registrados no Livro da História dos Reis de Judá. Quando Asa ficou velho, ele sofreu de uma doença nos pés,

24 And Asa rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the city of his father David, and his son Jehoshaphat reigned in his place.

24 e quando morreu, foi sepultado com os seus antepassados na Cidade de Davi, seu predecessor. Então seu filho Josafá se tornou o novo rei de Judá.

25 In the second year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Nadab son of Jeroboam became king of Israel, and he reigned two years.

25 Enquanto isso, Nadabe, filho de Jeroboão, começou a reinar em Israel. Ele reinou dois anos, tendo começado no segundo ano do reinado de Asa, rei de Judá.

26 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of his father and in his sin, which he had caused Israel to commit.

26 Porém, ele fez o que era mau aos olhos de Deus, andando nos caminhos do seu pai, e levou todo o Israel a pecar.

27 Then Baasha son of Ahijah of the house of Issachar conspired against Nadab, and Baasha struck him down at Gibbethon of the Philistines while Nadab and all Israel were besieging the city.

27 Então Baasa, filho de Aías, da tribo de Issacar, conspirou contra ele e o assassinou, enquanto estava com o exército israelita cercando a cidade dos filisteus de Gibetom.

28 In the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha killed Nadab and reigned in his place.

28 Baasa matou Nadabe e tomou o lugar dele como rei de Israel em Tirza, durante o terceiro ano do reinado de Asa, rei de Judá.

29 As soon as Baasha became king, he struck down the entire household of Jeroboam. He did not leave to Jeroboam anyone who breathed, but destroyed them all according to the word that the LORD had spoken through His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,

29 Logo em seguida, Baasa matou todos os filhos do rei Jeroboão, de maneira que não sobrou ninguém da família real, exatamente como o Senhor havia predito por meio do seu servo Aías, o profeta de Siló.

30 because of the sins Jeroboam had committed and had caused Israel to commit, and because he had provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger.

30 Isso se deu porque Jeroboão tinha provocado a ira do Senhor, o Deus de Israel, pecando e levando todo o povo de Israel a pecar.

31 As for the rest of the acts of Nadab, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

31 Os demais acontecimentos do reinado de Baasa estão registrados no Livro da História dos Reis de Israel.

32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their days.

32 Houve guerra contínua entre Asa, rei de Judá, e Baasa, rei de Israel.

33 In the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah became king of all Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah twenty-four years.

33 Baasa, filho de Aías, reinou durante vinte e quatro anos, a partir do terceiro ano do reinado de Asa em Judá.

34 And Baasha did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin, which he had caused Israel to commit.

34 Baasa fez o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor e seguiu os maus caminhos de Jeroboão e nos pecados que ele tinha levado o povo de Israel a cometer.
