2 Crônicas 32
1 Depois d'estas coisas e d'esta fidelidade, veiu Sennaquerib, rei d'Assyria, e entrou em Judah, e acampou-se contra as cidades fortes, e intentou separal-as para si.
After these things and these acts of faithfulness, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came and entered Judah. He camped to attack the fortified cities, which he intended to capture for himself.
2 Vendo pois Ezequias que Sennaquerib vinha, e que o seu rosto se dirigia á guerra contra Jerusalem,
When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come and that he intended to fight against Jerusalem,
3 Teve conselho com os seus principes e os seus varões, para que se tapassem as fontes das aguas que havia fóra da cidade: e elles o ajudaram.
he consulted with his leaders and his powerful men to stop up the waters of the springs that were outside the city; they helped him do so.
4 Porque muito povo se ajuntou, que tapou todas as fontes, como tambem o ribeiro que se estendia pelo meio da terra, dizendo: Porque viriam os reis d'Assyria, e achariam tantas aguas?
So many people gathered together and stopped up all the springs and the stream that was flowing through the middle of the land. They said, “Why should the kings of Assyria come and find a lot of water?”
5 E elle se fortificou, e edificou todo o muro quebrado até ás torres, e levantou o outro muro para fóra; e fortificou a Millo na cidade de David, e fez armas e escudos em abundancia.
Hezekiah took courage and built up all the wall that was broken down. He built the towers higher, and also the other wall outside. He also strengthened the Millo in the city of David, and he made large amounts of weapons and shields.
6 E poz officiaes de guerra sobre o povo, e ajuntou-os a si na praça da porta da cidade, e fallou-lhes ao coração, dizendo:
He placed military commanders over the people. He gathered them together to him in the broad place at the city gate and spoke encouragingly to them. He said,
7 Esforçae-vos, e tende bom animo; não temaes, nem vos espanteis, por causa do rei d'Assyria, nem por causa de toda a multidão que está com elle, porque ha um maior comnosco do que com elle.
“Be strong and of good courage. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and all the army that is with him, for someone is with us who is greater than those with him.
8 Com elle está o braço de carne, mas comnosco o Senhor nosso Deus, para nos ajudar, e para guerrear nossas guerras. E o povo descançou nas palavras d'Ezequias, rei de Judah.
With him is only an arm of flesh, but with us is Yahweh, our God, to help us, and to fight our battles.” Then the people comforted themselves with the words of Hezekiah, king of Judah.
9 Depois d'isto Sennaquerib, rei d'Assyria, enviou os seus servos a Jerusalem (elle porém estava diante de Lachis, com todo o seu dominio), a Ezequias, rei de Judah, e a todo o Judah que estava em Jerusalem, dizendo:
After this, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, sent his servants to Jerusalem (now he was in front of Lachish, and all his army was with him), to Hezekiah, king of Judah, and to all of Judah who were in Jerusalem. He said,
10 Assim diz Sennaquerib, rei d'Assyria: Em que confiaes vós, que vos ficaes na fortaleza em Jerusalem?
“This is what Sennacherib, king of Assyria, says: What are you relying on in order to endure a siege in Jerusalem?
11 Porventura não vos incita Ezequias, para morrerdes á fome e á sede, dizendo: O Senhor nosso Deus nos livrará das mãos do rei d'Assyria?
Is not Hezekiah misleading you, that he may give you over to die by famine and by thirst, when he tells you, 'Yahweh our God will rescue us from the hand of the king of Assyria'?
12 Não é Ezequias o mesmo que tirou os seus altos e os seus altares, e fallou a Judah e a Jerusalem, dizendo: Diante do unico altar vos prostrareis, e sobre elle queimareis incenso?
Has not this same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, 'On one altar you must worship, and on it you must burn your sacrifices'?
13 Não sabeis vós o que eu e meus paes fizemos a todos os povos das terras? porventura poderam de qualquer maneira os deuses das nações d'aquellas terras livrar a sua terra da minha mão
Do you not know what I and my ancestors have done to all the peoples of the other lands? Were the gods of the peoples of the surrounding lands able in any way to rescue their land from my power?
14 Qual é, de todos os deuses d'aquellas nações que meus paes destruiram, que podesse livrar o seu povo da minha mão, para que vosso Deus vos possa livrar da minha mão
Among all the gods of those nations that my ancestors completely destroyed, was there any god who could rescue his people out of my hand? Why should your God be able to rescue you from my power?
15 Agora, pois, não vos engane Ezequias, nem vos incite assim, nem lhe deis credito; porque nenhum deus de nação alguma, nem de reino algum, pode livrar o seu povo da minha mão, nem da mão de meus paes: quanto menos vos poderá livrar o vosso Deus da minha mão?
Now do not let Hezekiah deceive you or persuade you in this way. Do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to rescue his people out of my hand, or out of the hand of my ancestors. How much less will your God rescue you from my hand?”
16 Tambem seus servos fallaram ainda mais contra o Senhor Deus, e contra Ezequias, o seu servo.
Sennacherib's servants spoke even more against Yahweh God and against his servant Hezekiah.
17 Escreveu tambem cartas, para blasphemar do Senhor Deus d'Israel, e para fallar contra elle, dizendo: Assim como os deuses das nações das terras não livraram o seu povo da minha mão, assim tambem o Deus d'Ezequias não livrará o seu povo da minha mão.
Sennacherib also wrote letters in order to mock Yahweh, the God of Israel, and to speak against him. He said, “As the gods of the nations of the lands have not rescued their people out of my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not rescue his people out of my hand.”
18 E clamaram em alta voz em judaico contra o povo de Jerusalem, que estava em cima do muro, para os atemorisarem e os perturbarem, para que tomassem a cidade.
They cried out in the language of the Jews to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten them and trouble them, in order that they might capture the city.
19 E fallaram do Deus de Jerusalem, como dos deuses dos povos da terra, obras das mãos dos homens.
They spoke of the God of Jerusalem as they had spoken of the gods of the other peoples of the earth, which are merely the work of men's hands.
20 Porém o rei Ezequias e o propheta Isaias, filho d'Amós, oraram contra isso, e clamaram ao céu.
Hezekiah, the king, and Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, prayed because of this matter and he cried out to heaven.
21 Então o Senhor enviou um anjo que destruiu a todos os varões valentes, e os principes, e os chefes no arraial do rei d'Assyria: e tornou com vergonha de rosto á sua terra: e, entrando na casa de seu deus, os mesmos que sairam das suas entranhas, o mataram ali á espada.
Yahweh sent an angel, who killed the fighting men, the commanders, and the officers of the king in the camp. So Sennacherib returned to his own land with shame on his face. When he had gone into the house of his god, some of his own children killed him there with the sword.
22 Assim livrou o Senhor a Ezequias, e aos moradores de Jerusalem, da mão de Sennaquerib, rei d'Assyria, e da mão de todos: e de todos os lados os guiou.
In this way, Yahweh saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all others, and gave them rest on every side.
23 E muitos traziam presentes a Jerusalem ao Senhor, e coisas preciosissimas a Ezequias, rei de Judah, de modo que depois d'isto foi exaltado perante os olhos de todas as nações.
Many were bringing offerings to Yahweh in Jerusalem, and precious gifts to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was lifted up in the eyes of all nations from that time forward.
24 N'aquelles dias Ezequias adoeceu de morte; e orou ao Senhor, o qual lhe fallou, e lhe deu um signal.
In those days Hezekiah was sick to the point of dying. He prayed to Yahweh, who spoke to him and gave him a sign that he would be healed.
25 Mas não correspondeu Ezequias ao beneficio que se lhe fez; porque o seu coração se exaltou; pelo que veiu grande indignação sobre elle, e sobre Judah e Jerusalem.
But Hezekiah did not pay back Yahweh for the help given to him, for his heart was lifted up. So anger came on him, and on Judah and Jerusalem.
26 Ezequias, porém, se humilhou pela exaltação do seu coração, elle e os habitantes de Jerusalem: e a grande indignação do Senhor não veiu sobre elles, nos dias de Ezequias.
Nevertheless, Hezekiah later humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that Yahweh's anger did not come on them during Hezekiah's days.
27 E teve Ezequias riquezas e gloria em grande abundancia: e fez-se thesouros de prata, e de oiro, e de pedras preciosas, e de especiarias, e d'escudos, e de todo o aviamento que se podia desejar.
Hezekiah had very many riches and much honor. He provided himself with storerooms for silver, gold, precious stones, and for spices, as well as for shields and for all kinds of valuable objects.
28 Tambem armazens para a colheita do trigo, e do mosto, e do azeite; e estrebarias para toda a casta d'animaes, e curraes para os rebanhos.
He also had storehouses for the harvest of grain, new wine, and oil, and stalls for all kinds of animals. He also had flocks in their pens.
29 Fez-se tambem cidades, e possessões d'ovelhas e vaccas em abundancia: porque Deus lhe tinha dado muitissima fazenda.
In addition, he provided himself with cities and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance, for God had given him very much wealth.
30 Tambem o mesmo Ezequias tapou o manancial superior das aguas de Gihon, e as fez correr por baixo para o occidente da cidade de David: porque Ezequias prosperou em toda a sua obra.
It was this same Hezekiah who also stopped up the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and who brought them straight down on the west side of the city of David. Hezekiah succeeded in all his projects.
31 Comtudo, no negocio dos embaixadores dos principes de Babylonia, que foram enviados a elle, a perguntarem ácerca do prodigio que se fez n'aquella terra, Deus o desamparou, para tental-o, para saber tudo o que havia no seu coração.
However, in the matter of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to ask questions of those who knew, about the miraculous sign that had been done in the land, God left him to himself, in order to test him, and to know all that was in his heart.
32 Quanto ao resto dos successos d'Ezequias, e as suas beneficencias, eis que estão escriptos na visão do propheta Isaias, filho d'Amós, e no livro dos reis de Judah e d'Israel.
As for the other matters concerning Hezekiah, including his actions of covenant loyalty, you can see that they are written in the vision of the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
33 E dormiu Ezequias com seus paes, e o sepultaram no mais alto dos sepulchros dos filhos de David; e todo o Judah e os habitantes de Jerusalem lhe fizeram honras na sua morte: e Manasses, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.
Hezekiah slept with his ancestors, and they buried him on the hill of the tombs of the descendants of David. All Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem honored him at his death. Manasseh his son became king in his place.
