< 2 Chronicles 34 >
1 Josiah was eight years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for thirty-one years.
De oito anos era Josias quando começou a reinar, e trinta e um anos reinou em Jerusalém.
2 And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, walking in the ways of his father David, without turning to the right hand or to the left.
Este fez o que era correto aos olhos do SENHOR, e andou nos caminhos de Davi seu pai, sem desviar-se à direita nem à esquerda.
3 In the eighth year of his rule, while he was still young, his heart was first turned to the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he undertook the clearing away of all the high places and the pillars and the images of wood and metal from Judah and Jerusalem.
A os oito anos de seu reinado, sendo ainda jovem, começou a buscar ao Deus de Davi seu pai; e aos doze anos começou a limpar a Judá e a Jerusalém dos altos, bosques, esculturas, e imagens de fundição.
4 He had the altars of the Baals broken down, while he himself was present; and the sun-images which were placed on high over them he had cut down; and the pillars of wood and the metal images he had broken up and crushed to dust, dropping the dust over the resting-places of the dead who had made offerings to them.
E derrubaram diante dele os altares dos baalins, e fez pedaços as imagens do sol, que estavam postas encima; despedaçou também os bosques, e as esculturas e estátuas de fundição, e esmigalhou-as, e dispersou o pó sobre os sepulcros dos que a elas haviam sacrificado.
5 And he had the bones of the priests burned on their altars, and so he made Judah and Jerusalem clean.
Queimou ademais os ossos dos sacerdotes sobre seus altares, e limpou a Judá e a Jerusalém.
6 And in all the towns of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon as far as Naphtali, he made waste their houses round about.
O mesmo fez nas cidades de Manassés, Efraim, e Simeão, até em Naftali, com seus lugares assolados ao redor.
7 He had the altars and the pillars of wood pulled down and the images crushed to dust, and all the sun-images cut down, through all the land of Israel, and then he went back to Jerusalem.
E quando havia derrubado os altares e os bosques, e quebrado e esmigalhado as esculturas, e destruído todos os ídolos por toda a terra de Israel, voltou-se a Jerusalém.
8 Now in the eighteenth year of his rule, when the land and the house had been made clean, he sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah, the ruler of the town, and Joah, the son of Joahaz, the recorder, to make good what was damaged in the house of the Lord his God.
Aos dezoito anos de seu reinado, depois de haver limpado a terra, e a casa, enviou a Safã filho de Azalias, e a Maaseias governador da cidade, e a Joá filho de Jeoacaz, chanceler, para que reparassem a casa do SENHOR seu Deus.
9 And they came to Hilkiah, the chief priest, and gave him all the money which had been taken into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the door, had got from Manasseh and Ephraim and those of Israel who had not been taken away as prisoners, and from all Judah and Benjamin and the people of Jerusalem.
Os quais vieram a Hilquias, grande sacerdote, e deram o dinheiro que havia sido posto na casa do SENHOR, que os levitas que guardavam a porta haviam recolhido da mão de Manassés e de Efraim e de todas as restantes de Israel, e de todo Judá e Benjamim, havendo depois voltado a Jerusalém.
10 And they gave it to the overseers of the work of the Lord's house, and the overseers gave it to the workmen working in the house, for building it up and making good what was damaged;
E entregaram-no em mão dos que faziam a obra, que eram capatazes na casa do SENHOR; os quais o davam aos que faziam a obra e trabalhavam na casa do SENHOR, para reparar e restaurar o templo.
11 Even to the woodworkers and builders to get cut stone and wood for joining the structure together and for making boards for the houses which the kings of Judah had given up to destruction.
Davam também aos oficiais e pedreiros para que comprassem pedra lavrada, e madeira para as juntas, e para cobertura das casas, as quais haviam destruído os reis de Judá.
12 And the men did the work well; and those who had authority over them were Jahath and Obadiah, Levites of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, who were to be responsible for seeing that the work was done; and others of the Levites, who were expert with instruments of music,
E estes homens procediam com fidelidade na obra: e eram seus governadores Jaate e Obadias, levitas dos filhos de Merari; e Zacarias e Mesulão dos filhos de Coate, para que ativassem a obra; e dos levitas, todos os entendidos em instrumentos musicais.
13 Had authority over the transport workers, giving directions to all who were doing any sort of work; and among the Levites there were scribes and overseers and door-keepers.
Também supervisionavam sobre os operários, e eram capatazes dos que se ocupavam em qualquer classe de obra; e dos levitas havia escribas, governadores, e porteiros.
14 Now when they were taking out the money which had come into the Lord's house, Hilkiah the priest came across the book of the law of the Lord, which he had given by the mouth of Moses.
E ao tirar o dinheiro que havia sido posto na casa do SENHOR, Hilquias o sacerdote achou o livro da lei do SENHOR dada por meio de Moisés.
15 Then Hilkiah said to Shaphan the scribe, I have made discovery of the book of the law in the house of the Lord. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan.
E dando conta Hilquias, disse a Safã escriba: Eu ei achado o livro da lei na casa do SENHOR. E deu Hilquias o livro a Safã.
16 And Shaphan took the book to the king; and he gave him an account of what had been done, saying, Your servants are doing all they have been given to do;
E Safã o levou ao rei, e contou-lhe o negócio, dizendo: Teus servos cumpriram tudo o que lhes foi encarregado.
17 They have taken out all the money which was in the Lord's house and have given it to the overseers and to the workmen.
Reuniram o dinheiro que se achou na casa do SENHOR, e o entregaram em mão dos comissionados, e em mão dos que fazem a obra.
18 Then Shaphan the scribe said to the king, Hilkiah the priest has given me a book; and he made a start at reading some of it to the king.
A mais disto, declarou Safã escriba ao rei, dizendo: O sacerdote Hilquias me deu um livro. E leu Safã nele diante do rei.
19 And the king, hearing the words of the law, took his robe in his hands, violently parting it as a sign of his grief.
E logo que o rei ouviu as palavras da lei, rasgou suas vestes;
20 And he gave orders to Hilkiah and to Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Abdon, the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe and Asaiah, the king's servant, saying,
E mandou a Hilquias e a Aicã filho de Safã, e a Abdom filho de Mica, e a Safã escriba, e a Asaías servo do rei, dizendo:
21 Go and get directions from the Lord for me and for those who are still in Israel and for Judah, about the words of this book which has come to light; for great is the wrath of the Lord which has been let loose on us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the Lord or done what is recorded in this book.
Andai, e consultai ao SENHOR de mim, e dos restantes de Israel e de Judá, acerca das palavras do livro que se achou; porque grande é o furor do SENHOR que há caído sobre nós, porquanto nossos pais não guardaram a palavra do SENHOR, para fazer conforme tudo o que está escrito neste livro.
22 So Hilkiah, and those whom the king sent, went to Huldah the woman prophet, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, the keeper of the robes (now she was living in Jerusalem, in the second part of the town); and they had talk with her about this thing.
Então Hilquias e os do rei foram a Hulda profetisa, mulher de Salum, filho de Tocate, filho de Harás, guarda das vestimentas, a qual morava em Jerusalém na segunda parte [da cidade] e disseram-lhe as palavras ditas.
23 And she said to them, The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, Say to the man who sent you to me,
E ela respondeu: o SENHOR o Deus de Israel disse assim: Dizei ao homem que vos enviou a mim, que assim disse o SENHOR:
24 These are the words of the Lord: See, I will send evil on this place and on its people, even all the curses in the book which they have been reading before the king of Judah;
Eis que eu trago mal sobre este lugar, e sobre os moradores dele, e todas as maldições que estão escritas no livro que leram diante do rei de Judá:
25 Because they have given me up, burning offerings to other gods and moving me to wrath by all the works of their hands; so my wrath is let loose on this place and will not be put out.
Por quanto me deixaram, e sacrificaram a deuses alheios, provocando-me à ira em todas as obras de suas mãos; portanto meu furor destilará sobre este lugar, e não se apagará.
26 But to the king of Judah who sent you to get directions from the Lord, say, This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said: Because you have given ear to my words,
Mas ao rei de Judá, que vos enviou a consultar ao SENHOR, assim lhe direis: o SENHOR o Deus de Israel disse assim: Porquanto ouviste as palavras do livro,
27 And your heart was soft, and you made yourself low before God, on hearing his words about this place and its people, and with weeping and signs of grief have made yourself low before me, I have given ear to you, says the Lord God.
E teu coração se enterneceu, e te humilhaste diante de Deus ao ouvir suas palavras sobre este lugar, e sobre seus moradores, e te humilhaste diante de mim, e rasgaste tuas vestes, e choraste em minha presença, eu também te ei ouvido, diz o SENHOR.
28 See, I will let you go to your fathers, and be put in your last resting-place in peace, and your eyes will not see all the evil which I will send on this place and on its people. So they took this news back to the king.
Eis que eu te recolherei com teus pais, e serás recolhido em teus sepulcros em paz, e teus olhos não verão todo o mal que eu trago sobre este lugar, e sobre os moradores dele. E eles referiram ao rei a resposta.
29 Then the king sent and got together all the responsible men of Judah and of Jerusalem.
Então o rei enviou e juntou todos os anciãos de Judá e de Jerusalém.
30 And the king went up to the house of the Lord, with all the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem, and the priests and the Levites and all the people, small and great; and they were present at his reading of the book of the law which had come to light in the house of the Lord.
E subiu o rei à casa do SENHOR, e com ele todos os homens de Judá, e os moradores de Jerusalém, e os sacerdotes, e os levitas, e todo o povo desde o maior até o menor; e leu a ouvidos deles todas as palavras do livro do pacto que havia sido achado na casa do SENHOR.
31 Then the king, taking his place by the pillar, made an agreement before the Lord, to go in the way of the Lord, and to keep his orders and his decisions and his rules with all his heart and with all his soul, and to keep the words of the agreement recorded in this book.
E estando o rei em pé em seu lugar, fez aliança diante do SENHOR de caminhar após o SENHOR, e de guardar seus mandamentos, seus testemunhos, e seus estatutos, de todo seu coração e de toda sua alma, praticando as palavras do pacto que estavam escritas naquele livro.
32 And he made all the people in Jerusalem and Benjamin give their word to keep it. And the people of Jerusalem kept the agreement of God, the God of their fathers.
E fez que se obrigassem a ele todos os que estavam em Jerusalém e em Benjamim: e os moradores de Jerusalém fizeram conforme ao pacto de Deus, do Deus de seus pais.
33 Josiah took away all the disgusting things out of all the lands of the children of Israel, and made all who were in Israel servants of the Lord their God. And as long as he was living they were true to the Lord, the God of their fathers.
E tirou Josias todas as abominações de todas as terras dos filhos de Israel, e fez a todos os que se acharam em Israel servirem ao SENHOR seu Deus. Não se desviaram de seguir o SENHOR o Deus de seus pais, todo o tempo que ele viveu.
