2 Chronicles 34
1 Josiah was eight years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for thirty-one years.
Josias tinha oito anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e reinou trinta e um anos 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.
Ele fez o que era certo aos olhos de Iavé, e caminhou nos caminhos de David, seu pai, e não se virou para a mão direita ou para a 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.
Pois no oitavo ano de seu reinado, ainda jovem, ele começou a buscar o Deus de Davi, seu pai; e no décimo segundo ano ele começou a purgar Judá e Jerusalém dos lugares altos, os bastões de Cinzas, as imagens gravadas e as imagens fundidas.
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.
Eles quebraram os altares dos Baal em sua presença; e ele cortou os altares de incenso que estavam no alto sobre eles. Ele quebrou os postes de Asherah, as imagens gravadas e as imagens fundidas em pedaços, fez deles pó e o espalhou sobre os túmulos daqueles que haviam se sacrificado a eles.
5 And he had the bones of the priests burned on their altars, and so he made Judah and Jerusalem clean.
Ele queimou os ossos dos sacerdotes em seus altares, e purgou Judá e Jerusalém.
6 And in all the towns of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon as far as Naphtali, he made waste their houses round about.
Ele fez isso nas cidades de Manassés, Efraim e Simeão, até mesmo em Naftali, em torno de suas ruínas.
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.
Ele quebrou os altares, bateu nos postes de Asherah e nas imagens gravadas em pó, e cortou todos os altares de incenso em toda a terra de Israel, depois retornou 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.
Now no décimo oitavo ano de seu reinado, quando ele havia purgado a terra e a casa, ele enviou Shaphan, o filho de Azalias, Maaseiah, o governador da cidade, e Joah, o filho de Joahaz, o gravador, para reparar a casa de Yahweh, 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.
Eles vieram a Hilquias, o sumo sacerdote, e entregaram o dinheiro que foi trazido à casa de Deus, que os levitas, os guardas do umbral, haviam recolhido das mãos de Manassés, de Efraim, de todo o resto de Israel, de todo Judá e Benjamim, e dos habitantes de 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;
Eles a entregaram nas mãos dos trabalhadores que tinham a supervisão da casa de Iavé; e os trabalhadores que trabalhavam na casa de Iavé a deram para consertar e reparar a casa.
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.
Deram-na aos carpinteiros e aos construtores para comprar pedra cortada e madeira para engates, e para fazer vigas para as casas que os reis de Judá tinham destruído.
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,
Os homens fizeram o trabalho fielmente. Seus supervisores foram Jahath e Obadiah, os levitas, dos filhos de Merari; e Zacarias e Meshullam, dos filhos dos coatitas, para dar direção; e outros dos levitas, todos habilidosos com 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 estavam sobre os portadores de fardos, e dirigiam todos os que faziam o trabalho em todo tipo de serviço. Dos Levitas, havia escribas, oficiais 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.
Quando trouxeram o dinheiro que foi trazido para a casa de Iavé, Hilkiah o sacerdote encontrou o livro da lei de Iavé dado por 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.
Hilkiah respondeu ao escriba Shaphan: “Encontrei o livro da lei na casa de Yahweh”. Então Hilkiah entregou o livro a Shaphan.
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;
Shaphan levou o livro ao rei e, além disso, trouxe de volta a palavra ao rei, dizendo: “Tudo o que foi comprometido com seus servos, eles estão fazendo”.
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.
Eles esvaziaram o dinheiro que foi encontrado na casa de Yahweh, e o entregaram na mão dos supervisores e na mão dos operários”.
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.
Shaphan o escriba disse ao rei, dizendo: “Hilkiah o padre me entregou um livro”. Shaphan leu a partir dele para o 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.
Quando o rei ouviu as palavras da lei, rasgou suas roupas.
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,
O rei comandou Hilquias, Ahikam, filho de Safã, Abdon, filho de Miquéias, Safã, o escriba, e Asaías, o 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.
“Vai perguntar a Javé por mim, e por aqueles que ficaram em Israel e em Judá, a respeito das palavras do livro que se encontra; pois grande é a ira de Javé que se derrama sobre nós, porque nossos pais não cumpriram a palavra de Javé, para fazer de acordo com 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 Hilkiah e aqueles que o rei tinha ordenado foram até Huldah, a profetisa, a esposa de Shallum, filho de Tokhath, o filho de Hasrah, guarda do guarda-roupa (agora ela morava em Jerusalém no segundo trimestre), e eles falaram com ela para esse fim.
23 And she said to them, The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, Say to the man who sent you to me,
Ela lhes disse: “Javé, o Deus de Israel diz: 'Dizei ao homem que vos enviou a mim,
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;
“. Javé diz: 'Eis que trarei o mal sobre este lugar e sobre seus habitantes, mesmo todas as maldições que estão escritas no livro que eles leram perante o 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.
Porque me abandonaram, e queimaram incenso para outros deuses, para que me provocassem à ira com todas as obras de suas mãos, portanto minha ira se derrama 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 te enviou para perguntar a Javé, tu lhe dirás: “Javé, o Deus de Israel diz: “Sobre as palavras que ouviste,
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.
porque teu coração era terno, e te humilhaste diante de Deus quando ouviste suas palavras contra este lugar e contra seus habitantes, e te humilhaste diante de mim, e rasgaste tuas vestes e choraste diante de mim, eu também te ouvi”, diz Javé.
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 vos congregarei a vossos pais, e sereis congregados em paz à vossa sepultura”. Seus olhos não verão todo o mal que eu trarei sobre este lugar e sobre seus habitantes”””. Eles trouxeram esta mensagem de volta para o rei.
29 Then the king sent and got together all the responsible men of Judah and of Jerusalem.
Então o rei enviou e reuniu todos os anciãos de Judá e 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.
O rei subiu à casa de Iavé com todos os homens de Judá e os habitantes de Jerusalém - os sacerdotes, os levitas e todo o povo, tanto grande como pequeno - e leu em suas audiências todas as palavras do livro do pacto que foi encontrado na casa de Iavé.
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.
O rei permaneceu em seu lugar e fez um pacto perante Iavé, para caminhar depois de Iavé, e para guardar seus mandamentos, seus testemunhos e seus estatutos com todo o seu coração e com toda a sua alma, para cumprir as palavras do pacto que foram escritas neste 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.
Ele fez com que todos os que foram encontrados em Jerusalém e Benjamim permanecessem de pé. Os habitantes de Jerusalém fizeram de acordo com o pacto de Deus, o 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.
Josias tirou todas as abominações de todos os países que pertenciam aos filhos de Israel, e fez com que todos os que foram encontrados em Israel servissem, até mesmo para servir a Javé seu Deus. Todos os seus dias eles não partiram de seguir a Iavé, o Deus de seus pais.
