1 Então veio o Espírito de Deus sobre Azarias, filho de Odede,
1
The Spirit of God came on Azariah son of Oded.
2 que saiu ao encontro de Asa e lhe disse: Ouvi-me, Asa, e todo o Judá e Benjamim: O Senhor está convosco, enquanto vós estais com ele; se o buscardes, o achareis; mas se o deixardes, ele vos deixará.
2
He went out to meet Asa and said to him, “Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
3 Ora, por muito tempo Israel esteve sem o verdadeiro Deus, sem sacerdote que o ensinasse e sem lei.
3
For a long time Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach and without the law.
4 Quando, porém, na sua angústia voltaram para o Senhor, Deus de Israel, e o buscaram, o acharam.
4
But in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought him, and he was found by them.
5 E naqueles tempos não havia paz nem para o que saia, nem para o que entrava, mas grandes perturbações estavam sobre todos os habitantes daquelas terras.
5
In those days it was not safe to travel about, for all the inhabitants of the lands were in great turmoil.
6 Pois nação contra nação e cidade contra cidade se despedaçavam, porque Deus as conturbara com toda sorte de aflições.
6
One nation was being crushed by another and one city by another, because God was troubling them with every kind of distress.
7 Vós, porém, esforçai-vos, e não desfaleçam as vossas mãos; porque a vossa obra terá uma recompensa.
7
But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.”
8 Asa, tendo ouvido estas palavras, e a profecia do profeta filho de Odede, cobrou ânimo e lançou fora as abominações de toda a terra de Judá e de Benjamim, como também das cidades que tomara na região montanhosa de Efraim, e renovou o altar do Senhor, que estava diante do pórtico do Senhor.
8
When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Azariah son of Oded the prophet, he took courage. He removed the detestable idols from the whole land of Judah and Benjamin and from the towns he had captured in the hills of Ephraim. He repaired the altar of the LORD that was in front of the portico of the LORD’s temple.
9 E congregou todo o Judá e Benjamim, e os de Efraim, Manassés e Simeão que com eles peregrinavam; pois que muitos e Israel tinham vindo a ele quando viram que o Senhor seu Deus era com ele.
9
Then he assembled all Judah and Benjamin and the people from Ephraim, Manasseh and Simeon who had settled among them, for large numbers had come over to him from Israel when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
10 Ajuntaram-se em Jerusalém no terceiro mês, no décimo quinto ano do reinado de Asa.
10
They assembled at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.
11 E no mesmo dia ofereceram em sacrifício ao Senhor, do despojo que trouxeram, setecentos bois e sete mil ovelhas.
11
At that time they sacrificed to the LORD seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep and goats from the plunder they had brought back.
12 E entraram no pacto de buscarem ao Senhor, Deus de seus pais, de todo o seu coração e de toda a sua alma;
12
They entered into a covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their ancestors, with all their heart and soul.
13 e de que todo aquele que não buscasse ao Senhor, Deus de Israel, fosse morto, tanto pequeno como grande, tanto homem como mulher.
13
All who would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, were to be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman.
14 E prestaram juramento ao Senhor em alta voz, com júbilo, ao som de trombetas e buzinas.
14
They took an oath to the LORD with loud acclamation, with shouting and with trumpets and horns.
15 E todo o Judá se alegrou deste juramento; porque de todo o seu coração juraram, e de toda a sua vontade buscaram ao Senhor, e o acharam; e o Senhor lhes deu descanso ao redor.
15
All Judah rejoiced about the oath because they had sworn it wholeheartedly. They sought God eagerly, and he was found by them. So the LORD gave them rest on every side.
16 O rei Asa depôs Maacá, sua mãe, para que não fosse mais rainha, porquanto ela fizera um abominável ídolo para servir de Asera, ao qual Asa derrubou e, despedaçando-o, o queimou junto ao ribeiro de Cedrom.
16
King Asa also deposed his grandmother Maakah from her position as queen mother, because she had made a repulsive image for the worship of Asherah. Asa cut it down, broke it up and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
17 Os altos, porém, não se tiraram de Israel; contudo o coração de Asa foi perfeito todos os seus dias.
17
Although he did not remove the high places from Israel, Asa’s heart was fully committed to the LORD all his life.
18 E trouxe para a casa de Deus as coisas que seu pai tinha consagrado, e as que ele mesmo tinha consagrado: prata, ouro e utensílios.
18
He brought into the temple of God the silver and gold and the articles that he and his father had dedicated.
19 E não mais houve guerra até o ano trigésimo quinto do reinado de Asa.
19
There was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.
