II Livro dos Reis 14

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 No segundo ano do reinado de Joás, filho de Joacaz, rei de Israel, Amasias, filho de Joás, rei de Judá, tornou-se rei.	1 In the second year of Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, the king of Israel: Amaziah, the son of Jehoash, reigned as king of Judah.
2 Tinha vinte e cinco anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou durante vinte e nove anos em Jerusalém. Sua mãe chamava-se Joadã, e era natural de Jerusalém.	2 He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jehoaddin from Jerusalem.
3 Fez o que é bom aos olhos do Senhor; mas não tanto como o seu antepassado Davi. Seguiu todas as pisadas de seu pai Joás.	3 And he did what is right before the Lord, yet truly, not like David, his father. He acted in accord with all the things that his father Jehoash did,
4 Os lugares altos, porém, não desapareceram, e o povo continuava sacrificando e oferecendo incenso nos mesmos.	4 except for this alone: he did not take away the high places. For still the people were immolating, and burning incense, in the high places.
5 Logo que se firmou o seu reinado, mandou matar todos os seus servos que tinham assassinado o rei, seu pai.	5 And when he had obtained the kingdom, he struck down those of his servants who had killed his father, the king.
6 Mas não matou os filhos dos assassinos, conforme está escrito no livro da lei de Moisés, onde o Senhor deu este mandamento: Não morrerão os pais pelos filhos, nem os filhos pelos pais: cada um morrerá pelo seu próprio pecado.	6 But the sons of those who had been killed he did not put to death, in accord with what was written in the book of the law of Moses, just as the Lord instructed, saying: “The fathers shall not die for the sons, and the sons shall not die for the fathers. Instead, each one shall die for his own sin.”
7 Amasias derrotou os edomitas no vale do Sal, matando-lhes dez mil homens. Tomou de assalto a cidade de Sela, e deu-lhe o nome de Jecteel, nome que conserva até o dia de hoje.	7 He struck down ten thousand men of Idumea, in the Valley of the Salt Pits. And he captured ‘the Rock’ in battle, and he called its name ‘Subdued by God,’ even to the present day.
8 Amasias mandou mensageiros a Joás, filho de Joacaz, filho de Jeú, rei de Israel, para dizer-lhe: Vem, e nos veremos face a face!	8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, the king of Israel, saying: “Come, and let us see one another.”
9 Joás, rei de Israel, respondeu a Amasias, rei de Judá: O espinho do Líbano mandou dizer ao cedro do Líbano: Dá a tua filha por mulher ao meu filho. Mas os animais selvagens do Líbano passaram e esmagaram o espinho.	9 And Jehoash, the king of Israel, sent a reply to Amaziah, the king of Judah, saying: “A thistle of Lebanon sent to a cedar, which is in Lebanon, saying: ‘Give your daughter as wife to my son.’ And the beasts of the forest, which are in Lebanon, passed by and trampled the thistle.
10 Porque bateste os edomitas, o teu coração inchou-se de orgulho. Contenta-te com essa glória e fica em tua casa. Por que queres ir ao encontro do mal, e arriscar perder-te, tu, e Judá contigo?	10 You have struck and prevailed over Idumea. And your heart has lifted you up. Be content with your own glory, and be seated your own house. Why would you provoke evil, so that you would fall, and Judah with you?”
11 Mas Amasias de nada quis saber. Então o rei de Israel pôs-se a caminho, e encontraram-se ele e Amasias, rei de Judá, em Betsames, cidade de Judá.	11 But Amaziah was not quieted. And so Jehoash, the king of Israel, went up. And he and Amaziah, the king of Judah, saw one another at Beth-shemesh, a town in Judah.
12 Judá foi derrotado por Israel e cada um fugiu para a sua tenda.	12 And Judah was struck down before Israel, and they fled, each to their own tents.
13 Joás, rei de Israel, capturou em Betsames Amasias, rei de Judá, filho de Joás, filho de Ocozias. Foi a Jerusalém e abriu uma brecha de quatrocentos côvados nos muros da cidade, desde a porta de Efraim até a porta do ângulo.	13 And truly, Jehoash, the king of Israel, captured Amaziah, the king of Judah, the son of Jehoash, the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh. And he brought him to Jerusalem. And he breached the wall of Jerusalem, from the gate of Ephraim as far as the gate of the Corner, four hundred cubits.
14 Tomou todo o ouro e prata, e todos os utensílios que se encontravam no templo do Senhor e nas reservas do palácio real, e voltou para Samaria, levando reféns consigo.	14 And he took away all the gold and silver, and all the vessels, which were found in the house of the Lord and in the treasuries of the king, and he returned to Samaria with hostages.
15 O resto da história de Joás, seus atos e grandes feitos, a guerra que fez a Amasias, rei de Judá, tudo se acha consignado no livro das Crônicas dos reis de Israel.	15 But the rest of the words of Jehoash, which he accomplished, and his strength, with which he fought against Amaziah, the king of Judah, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
16 Joás adormeceu com seus pais e foi sepultado em Samaria com os reis de Israel. Seu filho Jeroboão sucedeu-lhe no trono.	16 And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and he was buried in Samaria, with the kings of Israel. And Jeroboam, his son, reigned in his place.
17 Amasias, filho de Joás, rei de Judá, viveu ainda quinze anos depois da morte de Joás, filho de Joacaz, rei de Israel.	17 Now Amaziah, the son of Jehoash, the king of Judah, lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, the king of Israel.
18 O resto da história de Amasias está consignado no livro das Crônicas dos reis de Judá.	18 And the rest of the words of Amaziah, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
19 Tendo sido tramada contra ele uma conspiração em Jerusalém, Amasias fugiu para Laquis. Mas perseguiram-no até ali e ele foi morto.	19 And they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. And he fled to Lachish. And they sent after him, to Lachish, and they killed him there.
20 Transportaram depois o seu corpo a Jerusalém, em cima de cavalos, e sepultaram-no com seus pais na cidade de Davi.	20 And they carried him away on horses. And he was buried in Jerusalem with his fathers, in the city of David.
21 Então todo o povo de Judá tomou Azarias, que tinha a idade de dezesseis anos, e pô-lo como rei em lugar de seu pai Amasias.	21 Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, at sixteen years from birth, and they appointed him as king in place of his father, Amaziah.
22 Ele reconstruiu Elat e restituiu-a ao domínio de Judá, depois que o rei adormecera com seus pais.	22 He built up Elath, and he restored it to Judah, after which the king slept with his fathers.
23 No décimo quinto ano do reinado de Amasias, filho de Joás, rei de Judá, Jeroboão, filho de Joás, tornou-se rei de Israel, em Samaria.	23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah, the son of Jehoash, the king of Judah: Jeroboam, the son of Jehoash, the king of Israel, reigned, in Samaria, for forty-one years.
24 Seu reino durou quarenta e um anos. Fez o mal aos olhos do Senhor, e não se apartou dos pecados de Jeroboão, filho de Nabat, que fizera pecar Israel.	24 And he did what is evil before the Lord. He did not withdraw from all the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.
25 Restabeleceu as fronteiras de Israel desde a entrada de Emat até o mar da Planície, conforme tinha o Senhor anunciado pela boca de seu servo Jonas, filho de Amati, que era natural de Get-Hefer.	25 He restored the borders of Israel, from the entrance of Hamath as far as the Sea of the Wilderness, in accord with the word of the Lord, the God of Israel, which he spoke through his servant, the prophet Jonah, the son of Amittai, who was from Gath, which is in Hepher.
26 O Senhor vira, com efeito, a amargosíssima aflição de Israel, que a todos tinha consumido, pequenos e grandes, e não havia ninguém para socorrer Israel.	26 For the Lord saw the exceedingly bitter affliction of Israel, and that they were being consumed, even to those who were enclosed in prison, and even to the least ones, and that there was no one who would help Israel.
27 O Senhor não tinha ainda resolvido apagar o nome de Israel de sob os céus, e por isso libertou-o pelas mãos de Jeroboão, filho de Joás.	27 But the Lord did not say that he would wipe away the name of Israel from under heaven. So instead, he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam, the son of Jehoash.
28 O resto da história de Jeroboão, seus atos e façanhas guerreiras, o modo como reconquistou Damasco e Emat de Judá para Israel, tudo isso se acha consignado no livro das Crônicas dos reis de Israel.	28 But the rest of the words of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his strength, with which he went to battle, and the manner in which he restored Damascus and Hamath to Judah, in Israel, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
29 Jeroboão adormeceu com seus pais, os reis de Israel. Seu filho Zacarias sucedeu-lhe no trono.	29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, the kings of Israel. And Zechariah, his son, reigned in his place.
