I Livro dos Reis 15

SAGRADA BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 No décimo oitavo ano do reinado de Jeroboão, filho de Nabat, Abião tornou-se rei de Judá.	1 Now in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, Abiam reigned over Juda.
2 Reinou três anos em Jerusalém. Sua mãe chamava-se Maaca, filha de Absalão.	2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Maacha the daughter of Abessalom.
3 Abião entregou-se a todos os pecados que seu pai tinha cometido antes dele. Seu coração não era inteiramente fiel ao Senhor, como o de seu pai Davi.	3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: end his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.
4 Todavia, o Senhor, seu Deus, em atenção a Davi, conservou-lhe uma lâmpada em Jerusalém: deu-lhe um filho que lhe sucedeu, e deixou subsistir Jerusalém.	4 But for David's sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:
5 Porque Davi tinha feito o que era reto aos olhos do Senhor, e não se tinha jamais desviado em toda a sua vida de um só dos mandamentos que recebera, exceto o que se passou com Urias, o hiteu.	5 Because David had done that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from any thing that he commanded him, all the days of his life, except the matter of Urias the Hethite.
6 Houve hostilidades contínuas entre Roboão e Jeroboão durante toda a sua vida.	6 But there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam all the time of his life.
7 O resto da história de Abião e seus atos, tudo se acha consignado no livro das Crônicas dos reis de Judá. Abião e Jeroboão guerrearam também entre si.	7 And the rest of the words of Abiam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? And there was war between Abiam and Jeroboam.
8 Depois disso, Abião adormeceu com seus pais e foi sepultado na cidade de Davi. Seu filho Asa sucedeu-lhe no trono.	8 And Abiam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and Asa his son reigned in his stead.
9 No vigésimo ano de Jeroboão, rei de Israel, Asa tornou-se rei de Judá, e reinou quarenta e um anos em Jerusalém.	9 So in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, reigned Asa king of Juda,
10 Sua mãe chamava-se Maaca, filha de Absalão.	10 And he reigned one end forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Maacha, the daughter of Abessalom.
11 Asa fez o que é reto aos olhos do Senhor, como Davi, seu pai.	11 And Asa did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as did David his father:
12 Expulsou da terra as prostitutas {sagradas} e acabou com todos os ídolos que seus pais tinham feito.	12 And he took away the effeminate out of the land, and he removed all the filth of the idols, which his fathers had made.
13 Além disso, destituiu da dignidade de rainha sua própria mãe Maaca, por ter feito essa vergonha de asserá. Asa despedaçou esse ídolo e queimou-o no vale de Cedron.	13 Moreover he also removed his mother Maacha, from being the princess in the sacrifices of Priapus, and in the grove which she had consecrated to him: and he destroyed her den, and broke in pieces the filthy idol, and burnt it by the torrent Cedron:
14 Embora não tenham desaparecido os lugares altos, o coração de Asa foi inteiramente devotado ao Senhor durante toda a sua vida.	14 But the high places he did not take away. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord all his days:
15 Pôs no templo do Senhor todos os objetos consagrados por seu pai e por ele mesmo, a prata, o ouro e os utensílios.	15 And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and he had vowed, into the house of the Lord, silver and gold, and vessels.
16 Asa e Baasa, rei de Israel, guerrearam-se mutuamente durante toda a sua vida.	16 And there was war between Asa, and Baasa king of Israel all their days.
17 Baasa, rei de Israel, atacou Judá e fortificou Ramá, a fim de bloquear todas as suas comunicações com Asa, rei de Judá.	17 And Baasa king of Israel went up against Juda, and built Rama, that no man might go out or come in, of the side of Asa king of Juda.
18 Asa, porém, tomando toda a prata e o ouro que restavam nas reservas do templo do Senhor e do palácio real, pô-los nas mãos de seus servos que enviou a Ben-Hadad, filho de Tabremon, filho de Hezion, rei da Síria, que residia em Damasco, com esta mensagem:	18 Then Asa took all the silver and gold that remained in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and delivered it into the hands of his servants : and sent them to Benadad son of Tabremon the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying:
19 Façamos aliança, assim como foram aliados o teu pai e o meu. Mando-te um presente de prata e ouro, e peço-te que rompas tua aliança com Baasa, rei de Israel, para que ele cesse de me importunar.	19 There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: therefore I have sent thee presents of silver and gold: and I desire thee to come, and break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
20 Ben-Hadad acedeu ao desejo do rei Asa; mandou seus generais contra as cidades de Israel, e devastou Aion, Dã, Abel, Bet-Maaca, todo o Cenerot com a terra de Neftali.	20 Benadad hearkening to king Asa, sent the captains of his army against the cities of Israel, and they smote Ahion, and Dan, and Abeldomum Maacha, and all Cenneroth, that is all the land of Nephtali.
21 Ao saber disso, Baasa abandonou a fortificação de Ramá e retirou-se para Tersa.	21 And when Baasa had heard this, he left off building Rama, and returned into Thersa.
22 Então o rei Asa convocou toda a tribo de Judá, sem exceção de ninguém, para tirar as pedras e a madeira de que Baasa se tinha servido para as fortificações de Ramá. Com esse material, Asa fortificou Gabaa de Benjamim e Masfa.	22 But king Asa sent word into all Juda, saying: Let no man be excused: and they took away the stones from Rama, and the timber thereof wherewith Baasa had been building, and with them Asa built Gabaa of Benjamin, and Maspha.
23 O resto da história de Asa, seus grandes feitos, seus atos e as cidades que construiu, tudo isso se acha consignado no livro das Crônicas dos reis de Judá. Com a velhice sobreveio-lhe a gota nos pés.	23 But the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his strength, and all that he did and the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
24 Adormeceu com seus pais e foi sepultado com eles na cidade de Davi, seu pai. Seu filho Josafá sucedeu-lhe no trono.	24 And he slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David his father. And Josaphat his son reigned in his place.
25 No segundo ano de Asa, rei de Judá, Nadab, filho de Jeroboão, tornou-se rei de Israel. Reinou dois anos em Israel.	25 But Nadab the son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel the second year of Asa king of Juda: and he reigned over Israel two years.
26 Ele fez o mal aos olhos do Senhor, imitou o seu pai, entregando-se ao pecado ao qual Jeroboão havia arrastado Israel.	26 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin.
27 Baasa, filho de Aías, da casa de Issacar, conspirou contra ele, e assassinou-o diante de Gebeton dos filisteus, no tempo em que Nadab e todo o Israel sitiavam essa cidade.	27 And Baasa the son of Ahias of the house of Issachar, conspired against him, and slew him in Gebbethon, which is a city of the Philistines: for Nadab and all Israel besieged Gebbethon.
28 Baasa, no terceiro ano de Asa, rei de Judá, cometeu esse crime e sucedeu-lhe no trono.	28 So Baasa slew him in the third year of Asa king of Juda, and reigned in his place.
29 Logo que subiu ao trono, exterminou toda a casa de Jeroboão, não deixando alma viva. Exterminou-os completamente, como havia predito o Senhor pelo seu servo Aías, de Silo,	29 And when he was king he cut off all the house of Jeroboam: he left not so much as one soul of his seed, till he had utterly destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken in the hand of Ahias the Silonite:
30 por causa dos pecados que Jeroboão cometeu e levou Israel a cometer, provocando assim a cólera do Senhor, Deus de Israel.	30 Because of the sin of Jeroboam, which he had sinned, and wherewith he had made Israel to sin, and for the offence, wherewith he provoked the Lord the God of Israel.
31 O resto da história de Nadab e suas ações, tudo está consignado no livro das Crônicas dos reis de Israel.	31 But the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
32 Asa e Baasa, rei de Israel, guerrearam-se mutuamente durante todo o tempo de sua vida.	32 And there was war between Asa and Baasa the king of Israel all their days.
33 No terceiro ano de Asa, rei de Judá, Baasa, filho de Aías, tornou-se rei de Israel. Residia em Tersa, e reinou vinte e quatro anos.	33 In the third year of Asa king of Juda, Baasa the son of Ahias reigned over all Israel, in Thersa, four and twenty years.
34 Baasa fez o mal diante do Senhor; andou no caminho de Jeroboão, e entregou-se ao pecado ao qual Jeroboão arrastara Israel.	34 And he did evil before the Lord, and walked in the ways of Jeroboam, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin.
