II Livro das Crônicas 26

SAGRADA BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Todo o povo de Judá tomou por rei a Ozias, então com a idade de dezesseis anos, e o entronizou em lugar de seu pai Amasias.	1 And all the people of Juda took his son Ozias, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of Amasias his father.
2 Foi ele quem reedificou Elat e fez voltar essa cidade ao domínio de Judá, depois que o rei adormeceu com seus pais.	2 He built Ailath, and restored it to the dominion of Juda, after that the king slept with his fathers.
3 Tinha Ozias a idade de dezesseis anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou cinqüenta e dois anos em Jerusalém. Sua mãe chamava-se Jequelia e era de Jerusalém.	3 Ozias was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jechelia of Jerusalem.
4 Fez o bem aos olhos do Senhor, como tinha feito seu pai Amasias.	4 And he did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Amasias his father had done.
5 Aplicou-se a honrar a Deus durante a vida de Zacarias, que o instruiu no temor de Deus. Enquanto honrou ao Senhor, Deus o fez prosperar.	5 And he sought the Lord in the days of Zacharias that understood and saw God: and as long as he sought the Lord, he directed him in all things.
6 Fez uma expedição contra os filisteus. Derrubou a muralha de Get, a de Jabnia e a de Azot; construiu cidades no território de Azot e na terra dos filisteus.	6 Moreover he went forth and fought against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Geth, and the wall of Jabnia, and the wall of Azotus: and he built towns in Azotus, and among the Philistines.
7 Deus o ajudou contra os filisteus, contra os árabes de Gurbaal, e contra os maonitas.	7 And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians, that dwelt in Gurbaal, and against the Ammonites.
8 Os amonitas lhe pagaram tributo, e sua fama se fortificou de tal modo, que se estendeu até os confins do Egito.	8 And the ammonites gave gifts to Ozias: and his name was spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt for his frequent victories.
9 Levantou torres fortificadas em Jerusalém, na porta do ângulo, na porta do vale e no ângulo.	9 And Ozias built towers in Jerusalem over the gate of the corner, and over the gate of the valley, and the rest, in the same side of the wall, and fortified them.
10 Construiu também torres no deserto, onde cavou numerosos poços, pois possuía ali numerosos rebanhos, tanto na planície como no planalto. Tinha lavradores e vinhateiros nas montanhas e nos pomares, porque se interessava pela agricultura.	10 And he built towers in the wilderness, and dug many cisterns, for he had much cattle both in the plains, and in the waste of the desert: he had also vineyards and dressers of vines in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he was a man that loved husbandry.
11 Ozias tinha um exército de guerreiros que saíam por turmas ao combate, contados segundo o recenseamento deles, feito pelo escriba Jeiel e o comissário Maasias, sob a direção de Hananias, um dos generais do rei.	11 And the army of his fighting men, that went out to war, was under the hand of Jehiel the scribe, and Maasias the doctor, end under the hand of Henanias, who was one of the king's captains.
12 O número total dos chefes de família, guerreiros valentes, era de dois mil e seiscentos.	12 And the whole number of the chiefs by the families of valiant men were two thousand six hundred.
13 O exército que comandavam era de trezentos e sete mil e quinhentos homens, que faziam a guerra com valor suficiente para ajudar o rei contra o inimigo.	13 And the whole army under them three hundred and seven thousand five hundred: who were fit for war, and fought for the king against the enemy.
14 A todo esse exército Ozias fornecia escudos, lanças, capacetes, couraças, arcos e pedras de funda.	14 And Ozias prepared for them, that is, for the whole army, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, and slings to cast stones.
15 Mandou construir em Jerusalém, pelos cuidados de um engenheiro, máquinas para serem colocadas nas torres e nos ângulos das muralhas, que atiravam flechas e grandes pedras. Sua fama se estendeu ao longe, pois Deus fez maravilhas para ajudá-lo a adquirir um grande poder.	15 And he made in Jerusalem engines of diverse kinds, which he placed in the towers, and in the corners of the walls, to shoot arrows, and great stones: and his name went forth far abroad, for the Lord helped him, and had strengthened him.
16 Mas, apenas sentiu-se ele poderoso, seu coração encheu-se de orgulho, para sua desgraça. Cometeu uma falta contra o Senhor, seu Deus, entrando no templo do Senhor para queimar incenso no altar dos perfumes.	16 But when he was made strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction, and he neglected the Lord his God: and going into the temple of the Lord, he had a mind to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
17 O sacerdote, Azarias, com oitenta corajosos sacerdotes do Senhor, seguiram-no.	17 And immediately Azarias the priest going in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the Lord, most valiant men,
18 Resistiram ao rei Ozias e lhe disseram: Não compete a ti, Ozias, queimar incenso ao Senhor, mas aos sacerdotes da estirpe de Aarão, que foram consagrados para esse fim. Sai do santuário, porque prevaricaste, e isso não será para ti honra diante do Senhor Deus.	18 Withstood the king and said: It doth not belong to thee, Ozias, to burn incense to the Lord, but to the priests, that is, to the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated for this ministry: go out of the sanctuary, do not despise: for this thing shall not be accounted to thy glory by the Lord God.
19 Então Ozias, tendo na mão o turíbulo, encolerizou-se; mas, durante esse acesso de cólera, apareceu a lepra em sua fronte, ali, no templo do Senhor, na presença dos sacerdotes, diante do altar dos perfumes.	19 And Ozias was angry, and holding in his hand the censer to burn incense, threatened the priests. And presently there rose a leprosy in his forehead before the priests, in the house of the Lord at the altar of incense.
20 O sumo sacerdote Azarias e todos os outros sacerdotes, olhando-o, viram essa lepra que ele tinha na fronte. Precipitadamente fizeram-no sair; aliás, ele próprio se apressou em sair, sentindo-se ferido pelo Senhor.	20 And Azarias the high priest, and all the rest of the priests looked upon him, and saw the leprosy in his forehead, and they made haste to thrust him out. Yea himself also being frightened, hasted to go out, because he had quickly felt the stroke of the Lord.
21 O rei Ozias ficou leproso até a morte. Como tal, viveu numa casa isolada. Estava excluído do templo do Senhor, e seu filho Joatão governava o palácio e julgava o povo da terra.	21 And Ozias the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelt in a house apart being full of the leprosy, for which he had been cast out of the house of the Lord. And Joatham his son governed the king's house, and judged the people of the land.
22 O profeta Isaías relatou os outros atos de Ozias, desde os primeiros até os últimos.	22 But the rest of the acts of Ozias first and last were written by Isaias the son of Amos, the prophet.
23 Ozias adormeceu entre seus pais e foi sepultado perto deles, no campo da sepultura dos reis, porque diziam: Ele era leproso. Seu filho Joatão sucedeu-lhe no trono.	23 And Ozias slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the field of the royal sepulchres, because he was a leper: and Joatham his son reigned in his stead.
