2 Crónicas 25

Bíblia Portuguesa Mundial

1Amazias tinha vinte e cinco anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e reinou vinte e nove anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era Jeoadã, de Jerusalém.

2Ele fez o que era reto aos olhos do SENHOR, mas não com um coração perfeito.

3Ora, quando o reino se firmou sob o seu domínio, ele matou os seus servos que haviam matado o rei, seu pai.

4Contudo, ele não matou os filhos deles, mas fez segundo o que está escrito na lei, no livro de Moisés, como o SENHOR ordenou, dizendo: “Os pais não morrerão pelos filhos, nem os filhos morrerão pelos pais; mas cada um morrerá pelo seu próprio pecado.”

5Além disso, Amazias reuniu Judá e os organizou segundo as casas de seus pais, sob capitães de milhares e capitães de centenas, por todo o Judá e Benjamim. Ele os contou de vinte anos de idade para cima, e descobriu que havia trezentos mil homens escolhidos, capazes de sair para a guerra, que podiam manusear lança e escudo.

6Ele também contratou cem mil homens valentes de Israel por cem talentos de prata.

7Um homem de Deus, porém, veio a ele, dizendo: “Ó rei, não deixe o exército de Israel ir com você, pois o SENHOR não está com Israel, com nenhum dos filhos de Efraim.

8Mas se você for, aja e seja forte para a batalha. Deus o fará cair diante do inimigo; pois Deus tem poder para ajudar e para fazer cair.”

9Amazias disse ao homem de Deus: “Mas o que faremos com os cem talentos que dei ao exército de Israel?” O homem de Deus respondeu: “O SENHOR é capaz de lhe dar muito mais do que isso.”

10Então Amazias os separou, o exército que tinha vindo a ele de Efraim, para que voltassem para casa. Por isso a ira deles se acendeu grandemente contra Judá, e eles voltaram para casa com ira ardente.

11Amazias encorajou-se, conduziu o seu povo e foi ao Vale do Sal, e feriu dez mil dos filhos de Seir.

12Os filhos de Judá levaram outros dez mil vivos, e os trouxeram para o topo da rocha, e os atiraram para baixo do topo da rocha, de modo que todos foram despedaçados.

13Mas os homens do exército que Amazias mandou de volta, para que não fossem com ele à batalha, atacaram as cidades de Judá, desde Samaria até Bete-Horom, e feriram três mil deles, e tomaram muitos despojos.

14Ora, depois que Amazias voltou da matança dos edomitas, ele trouxe os deuses dos filhos de Seir, e os estabeleceu para serem os seus deuses, e prostrou-se diante deles e lhes queimou incenso.

15Por isso a ira do SENHOR se acendeu contra Amazias, e ele lhe enviou um profeta que lhe disse: “Por que você buscou os deuses do povo, que não livraram o seu próprio povo da sua mão?”

16Enquanto ele falava com ele, o rei lhe disse: “Por acaso nós o nomeamos conselheiro do rei? Pare! Por que você deveria ser morto?” Então o profeta parou, e disse: “Eu sei que Deus determinou destruí-lo, porque você fez isso e não deu ouvidos ao meu conselho.”

17Então Amazias, rei de Judá, consultou os seus conselheiros, e mandou mensageiros a Joás, filho de Jeoacaz, filho de Jeú, rei de Israel, dizendo: “Venha! Vamos nos enfrentar face a face.”

18Joás, rei de Israel, mandou dizer a Amazias, rei de Judá: “O cardo que estava no Líbano mandou dizer ao cedro que estava no Líbano: 'Dê a sua filha ao meu filho por esposa'. Então um animal selvagem que estava no Líbano passou e pisoteou o cardo.

19Você diz a si mesmo que feriu Edom; e o seu coração se exalta para se gloriar. Agora fique em casa. Por que você deveria se meter em problemas, para que venha a cair, você e Judá com você?”

20Mas Amazias não quis ouvir; pois isso vinha de Deus, para que os entregasse nas mãos de seus inimigos, porque haviam buscado os deuses de Edom.

21Então Joás, rei de Israel, subiu, e ele e Amazias, rei de Judá, se enfrentaram face a face em Bete-Semes, que pertence a Judá.

22Judá foi derrotado por Israel; de modo que cada homem fugiu para a sua tenda.

23Joás, rei de Israel, capturou Amazias, rei de Judá, filho de Joás, filho de Jeoacaz, em Bete-Semes e o trouxe a Jerusalém, e derrubou o muro de Jerusalém desde a porta de Efraim até a porta da esquina, quatrocentos côvados.

24Ele tomou todo o ouro e a prata, e todos os utensílios que se acharam na casa de Deus com Obede-Edom, e os tesouros da casa do rei, e os reféns, e voltou para Samaria.

25Amazias, filho de Joás, rei de Judá, viveu quinze anos após a morte de Joás, filho de Jeoacaz, rei de Israel.

26Ora, o restante dos atos de Amazias, desde os primeiros até os últimos, eis que não estão escritos no livro dos reis de Judá e de Israel?

27Ora, desde o tempo em que Amazias se desviou de seguir ao SENHOR, fizeram uma conspiração contra ele em Jerusalém. Ele fugiu para Laquis, mas mandaram persegui-lo até Laquis e o mataram lá.

28Eles o trouxeram sobre cavalos e o sepultaram com seus pais na Cidade de Judá.

Reina-Valera 1909

1DE VEINTICINCO años era Amasías cuando comenzó á reinar, y veintinueve años reinó en Jerusalem: el nombre de su madre fué Joaddan, de Jerusalem.

2Hizo él lo recto en los ojos de Jehová aunque no de perfecto corazón.

3Y luego que fué confirmado en el reino, mató á sus siervos que habían muerto al rey su padre;

4Mas no mató á los hijos de ellos, según lo que está escrito en la ley en el libro de Moisés, donde Jehová mandó, diciendo: No morirán los padres por los hijos, ni los hijos por los padres; mas cada uno morirá por su pecado.

5Juntó luego Amasías á Judá, y con arreglo á las familias púsoles tribunos y centuriones por todo Judá y Benjamín; y tomólos por lista de veinte años arriba, y fueron hallados en ellos trescientos mil escogidos para salir á la guerra, que tenían lanza y escudo.

6Y de Israel tomó á sueldo cien mil hombres valientes, por cien talentos de plata.

7Mas un varón de Dios vino á él, diciéndole: Rey, no vaya contigo el ejército de Israel; porque Jehová no es con Israel, ni con todos los hijos de Ephraim.

8Pero si tú vas, si lo haces, y te esfuerzas para pelear, Dios te hará caer delante de los enemigos; porque en Dios está la fortaleza, ó para ayudar, ó para derribar.

9Y Amasías dijo al varón de Dios: ¿Qué pues se hará de cien talentos que he dado al ejército de Israel? Y el varón de Dios respondió: De Jehová es darte mucho más que esto.

10Entonces Amasías apartó el escuadrón de la gente que había venido á él de Ephraim, para que se fuesen á sus casas: y ellos se enojaron grandemente contra Judá, y volviéronse á sus casas encolerizados.

11Esforzándose entonces Amasías, sacó su pueblo, y vino al valle de la Sal: é hirió de los hijos de Seir diez mil.

12Y los hijos de Judá tomaron vivos otros diez mil, los cuales llevaron á la cumbre de un peñasco, y de allí los despeñaron, y todos se hicieron pedazos.

13Empero los del escuadrón que Amasías había despedido, porque no fuesen con él á la guerra, derramáronse sobre las ciudades de Judá, desde Samaria hasta Beth-oron, é hirieron de ellos tres mil, y tomaron un grande despojo.

14Regresando luego Amasías de la matanza de los Idumeos, trajo también consigo los dioses de los hijos de Seir, y púsoselos para sí por dioses, y encorvóse delante de ellos, y quemóles perfumes.

15Encendióse por tanto el furor de Jehová contra Amasías, y envió á él un profeta, que le dijo: ¿Por qué has buscado los dioses de gente, que no libraron á su pueblo de tus manos?

16Y hablándole el profeta estas cosas, él le respondió: ¿Hante puesto á ti por consejero del rey? Déjate de eso: ¿por qué quieres que te maten? Y al cesar, el profeta dijo luego: Yo sé que Dios ha acordado destruirte, porque has hecho esto, y no obedeciste á mi consejo.

17Y Amasías rey de Judá, habido su consejo, envió á decir á Joas, hijo de Joachâz hijo de Jehú, rey de Israel: Ven, y veámonos cara á cara.

18Entonces Joas rey de Israel envió á decir á Amasías rey de Judá: El cardo que estaba en el Líbano, envió al cedro que estaba en el Líbano, diciendo: Da tu hija á mi hijo por mujer. Y he aquí que las bestias fieras que estaban en el Líbano, pasaron, y hollaron el cardo.

19Tú dices: He aquí he herido á Edom; y tu corazón se enaltece para gloriarte: ahora estáte en tu casa; ¿para qué te entrometes en mal, para caer tú y Judá contigo?

20Mas Amasías no quiso oir; porque estaba de Dios, que los quería entregar en manos de sus enemigos, por cuanto habían buscado los dioses de Edom.

21Subió pues Joas rey de Israel, y viéronse cara á cara él y Amasías rey de Judá, en Beth-semes, la cual es de Judá.

22Pero cayó Judá delante de Israel, y huyó cada uno á su estancia.

23Y Joas rey de Israel prendió en Beth-semes á Amasías rey de Judá, hijo de Joas hijo de Joachâz, y llevólo á Jerusalem: y derribó el muro de Jerusalem desde la puerta de Ephraim hasta la puerta del ángulo, cuatrocientos codos.

24Asimismo tomó todo el oro y plata, y todos los vasos que se hallaron en la casa de Dios en casa de Obed-edom, y los tesoros de la casa del rey, y los hijos de los príncipes, y volvióse á Samaria.

25Y vivió Amasías hijo de Joas, rey de Judá, quince años después de la muerte de Joas hijo de Joachâz rey de Israel.

26Lo demás de los hechos de Amasías, primeros y postreros, ¿no está escrito en el libro de los reyes de Judá y de Israel?

27Desde aquel tiempo que Amasías se apartó de Jehová, maquinaron contra él conjuración en Jerusalem; y habiendo él huído á Lachîs, enviaron tras él á Lachîs, y allá lo mataron;

28Y trajéronlo en caballos, y sepultáronlo con sus padres en la ciudad de Judá.

King James Version

1Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.

2And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.

3Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.

4But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.

5Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield.

6He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver.

7But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD is not with Israel, to wit, with all the children of Ephraim.

8But if thou wilt go, do it, be strong for the battle: God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath power to help, and to cast down.

9And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, The LORD is able to give thee much more than this.

10Then Amaziah separated them, to wit, the army that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in great anger.

11And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand.

12And other ten thousand left alive did the children of Judah carry away captive, and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all were broken in pieces.

13But the soldiers of the army which Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Beth-horon, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil.

14Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them.

15Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand?

16And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king’s counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.

17Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us see one another in the face.

18And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.

19Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?

20But Amaziah would not hear; for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom.

21So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they saw one another in the face, both he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah.

22And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.

23And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

24And he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obed-edom, and the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.

25And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.

26Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?

27Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there.

28And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.

World English Bible

1Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.

2He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, but not with a perfect heart.

3Now when the kingdom was established to him, he killed his servants who had killed his father the king.

4But he didn’t put their children to death, but did according to that which is written in the law in the book of Moses, as the LORD commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.”

5Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together and ordered them according to their fathers’ houses, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, even all Judah and Benjamin. He counted them from twenty years old and upward, and found that there were three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go out to war, who could handle spear and shield.

6He also hired one hundred thousand mighty men of valor out of Israel for one hundred talents of silver.

7A man of God came to him, saying, “O king, don’t let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD is not with Israel, with all the children of Ephraim.

8But if you will go, take action, and be strong for the battle. God will overthrow you before the enemy; for God has power to help, and to overthrow.”

9Amaziah said to the man of God, “But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel?” The man of God answered, “The LORD is able to give you much more than this.”

10Then Amaziah separated them, the army that had come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again. Therefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger.

11Amaziah took courage, and led his people out and went to the Valley of Salt, and struck ten thousand of the children of Seir.

12The children of Judah carried away ten thousand alive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and threw them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were broken in pieces.

13But the men of the army whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell on the cities of Judah from Samaria even to Beth Horon, and struck of them three thousand, and took much plunder.

14Now after Amaziah had come from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them and burned incense to them.

15Therefore the LORD’s anger burned against Amaziah, and he sent to him a prophet who said to him, “Why have you sought after the gods of the people, which have not delivered their own people out of your hand?”

16As he talked with him, the king said to him, “Have we made you one of the king’s counselors? Stop! Why should you be struck down?” Then the prophet stopped, and said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel.”

17Then Amaziah king of Judah consulted his advisers, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come! Let’s look one another in the face.”

18Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as his wife. Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by and trampled down the thistle.

19You say to yourself that you have struck Edom; and your heart lifts you up to boast. Now stay at home. Why should you meddle with trouble, that you should fall, even you and Judah with you?’”

20But Amaziah would not listen; for it was of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought after the gods of Edom.

21So Joash king of Israel went up, and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.

22Judah was defeated by Israel; so every man fled to his tent.

23Joash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth Shemesh and brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

24He took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in God’s house with Obed-Edom, and the treasures of the king’s house, and the hostages, and returned to Samaria.

25Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived for fifteen years after the death of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.

26Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, aren’t they written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?

27Now from the time that Amaziah turned away from following the LORD, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. He fled to Lachish, but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.

28They brought him on horses and buried him with his fathers in the City of Judah.
