< 2 Chronicles 35 >

1 And Josiah kept a Passover to the Lord in Jerusalem; on the fourteenth day of the first month they put the Passover lamb to death.
Então Josias celebrou a pascoa ao Senhor em Jerusalém: e mataram o cordeiro da pascoa no décimo quarto dia do mês primeiro.
2 And he gave the priests their places, making them strong for the work of the house of God.
E estabeleceu os sacerdotes nas suas guardas, e os animou ao ministério da casa do Senhor.
3 And he said to the Levites, the teachers of all Israel, who were holy to the Lord, See, the holy ark is in the house which Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel, made; it will no longer have to be transported on your backs: now be the servants of the Lord your God and his people Israel,
E disse aos levitas que ensinavam a todo o Israel e estavam consagrados ao Senhor: Ponde a arca sagrada na casa que edificou Salomão, filho de David, rei de Israel; não tereis mais este cargo aos ombros: agora servi ao Senhor vosso Deus, e ao seu povo Israel.
4 And make yourselves ready in your divisions, by your families, as it is ordered in the writings of David, king of Israel, and of Solomon his son;
E preparai-vos segundo as casas de vossos pais, segundo as vossas turmas, conforme à prescrição de David rei de Israel, e conforme à prescrição de Salomão, seu filho.
5 And take your positions in the holy place, grouped in the families of your brothers, the children of the people, and for every division let there be a part of a family of the Levites.
E estai no santuário segundo as divisões das casas paternas de vossos irmãos, os filhos do povo; e haja para cada um uma porção das casas paternas dos levitas.
6 And put the Passover lamb to death, and make yourselves holy, and make it ready for your brothers, so that the orders given by the Lord through Moses may be done.
E sacrificai a pascoa: e santificai-vos, e preparai-a para vossos irmãos, fazendo conforme à palavra do Senhor, dada pela mão de Moisés.
7 And Josiah gave lambs and goats from the flock as Passover offerings for all the people who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand oxen: these were from the king's private property.
E apresentou Josias, aos filhos do povo, cordeiros e cabritos do rebanho, todos para os sacrifícios da pascoa, por todo o que ali se achou, em número de trinta mil, e de bois três mil: isto era da fazenda do rei.
8 And his captains freely gave an offering to the people, the priests, and the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand, six hundred small cattle and three hundred oxen.
Também apresentaram os seus príncipes ofertas voluntárias ao povo, aos sacerdotes e aos levitas: Hilkias, e Zacarias, e Jehiel, maioral da casa de Deus, deram aos sacerdotes para os sacrifícios da pascoa duas mil e seiscentas rezes de gado miúdo, e trezentos bois.
9 And Conaniah and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand small cattle and five hundred oxen.
E Conanias, e Semaias, e Nathanael, seus irmãos, como também Hasabias, e Jeiel, e Jozabad, maiorais dos levitas, apresentaram aos levitas, para os sacrifícios da pascoa, cinco mil rezes de gado miúdo, e quinhentos bois.
10 So everything was made ready and the priests took their places with the Levites in their divisions, as the king had said.
Assim se preparou o serviço: e puseram-se os sacerdotes nos seus postos, e os levitas nas suas turmas, conforme ao mandado do rei.
11 And they put the Passover lambs to death, the blood being drained out by the priests when it was given to them, and the Levites did the skinning.
Então sacrificaram a pascoa: e os sacerdotes espargiam o sangue recebido das suas mãos, e os levitas esfolavam as rezes.
12 And they took away the burned offerings, so that they might give them to be offered to the Lord for the divisions of the families of the people, as it is recorded in the book of Moses. And they did the same with the oxen.
E puseram de parte os holocaustos para os darem aos filhos do povo, segundo as divisões das casas paternas, para o offerecerem ao Senhor, como está escrito no livro de Moisés: e assim fizeram com os bois.
13 And the Passover lamb was cooked over the fire, as it says in the law; and the holy offerings were cooked in pots and basins and vessels, and taken quickly to all the people.
E assaram a pascoa no fogo, segundo o rito: e as ofertas sagradas cozeram em panelas, e em caldeiras e em sertã; e prontamente as repartiram entre todo o povo.
14 And after that, they made ready for themselves and for the priests; for the priests, the sons of Aaron, were offering the burned offerings and the fat till night; so the Levites made ready what was needed for themselves and for the priests, the sons of Aaron.
Depois prepararam para si e para os sacerdotes; porque os sacerdotes, filhos de Aarão, se ocuparam até à noite com o sacrifício dos holocaustos e da gordura; pelo que os levitas prepararam para si e para os sacerdotes, filhos de Aarão.
15 And the sons of Asaph, the makers of melody, were in their places, as ordered by David and Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, the king's seer; and the door-keepers were stationed at every door: there was no need for them to go away from their places, for their brothers the Levites made ready for them.
E os cantores, filhos d'Asaph, estavam no seu posto, segundo o mandado de David, e d'Asaph, e d'Heman, e de Jeduthun, vidente do rei, como também os porteiros a cada porta; não necessitaram de se desviarem do seu ministério; porquanto seus irmãos, os levitas, preparavam para eles.
16 So everything needed for the worship of the Lord was made ready that same day, for the keeping of the Passover and the offering of burned offerings on the altar of the Lord, as King Josiah had given orders.
Assim se estabeleceu todo o serviço do Senhor naquele dia, para celebrar a pascoa, e sacrificar holocaustos sobre o altar do Senhor, segundo o mandado do rei Josias.
17 And all the children of Israel who were present kept the Passover and the feast of unleavened bread at that time for seven days.
E os filhos de Israel que ali se acharam celebraram a pascoa naquele tempo, e a festa dos pães asmos, sete dias.
18 No Passover like it had been kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; and not one of the kings of Israel had ever kept a Passover like the one kept by Josiah and the priests and the Levites and all those of Judah and Israel who were present, and the people of Jerusalem.
Nunca pois se celebrou tal pascoa em Israel, desde os dias do profeta Samuel: nem nenhuns reis de Israel celebraram tal pascoa como a que celebrou Josias com os sacerdotes, e levitas, e todo o Judá e Israel, que ali se acharam, e os habitantes de Jerusalém.
19 In the eighteenth year of the rule of Josiah this Passover was kept.
No ano décimo oitavo do reinado de Josias se celebrou esta pascoa.
20 After all this, and after Josiah had put the house in order, Neco, king of Egypt, went up to make war at Carchemish by the river Euphrates; and Josiah went out against him.
Depois de tudo isto, havendo Josias já preparado a casa, subiu Necho, rei do Egito, para guerrear contra Carchemis, junto ao Euphrates: e Josias lhe saiu ao encontro.
21 But he sent representatives to him, saying, What have I to do with you, O king of Judah? I have not come against you this day, but against those with whom I am at war; and God has given me orders to go forward quickly: keep out of God's way, for he is with me, or he will send destruction on you.
Então ele lhe mandou mensageiros, dizendo: Que tenho eu que fazer contigo, rei de Judá? quanto a ti, contra ti não venho hoje, senão contra a casa que me faz guerra; e disse Deus que me apressasse: guarda-te de te opores a Deus, que é comigo, para que não te destrua.
22 However, Josiah would not go back; but keeping to his purpose of fighting against him, and giving no attention to the words of Neco, which came from God, he went forward to the fight in the valley of Megiddo.
Porém Josias não virou dele o seu rosto, antes se disfarçou, para pelejar com ele; e não deu ouvidos às palavras de Necho, que sairam da boca de Deus; antes veio pelejar no vale de Megiddo.
23 And the bowmen sent their arrows at King Josiah, and the king said to his servants, Take me away, for I am badly wounded.
E os flecheiros atiraram ao rei Josias: então o rei disse a seus servos: tirai-me daqui, porque estou gravemente ferido.
24 So his servants took him out of the line of war-carriages, and put him in his second carriage and took him to Jerusalem, where he came to his end, and they put his body in the resting-place of his fathers. And in all Judah and Jerusalem there was great weeping for Josiah.
E seus servos o tiraram do carro, e o levaram no carro segundo que tinha, e o trouxeram a Jerusalém; e morreu, e o sepultaram nos sepulcros de seus pais: e todo o Judá e Jerusalém tomaram luto por Josias.
25 And Jeremiah made a song of grief for Josiah; and to this day Josiah is named by all the makers of melody, men and women, in their songs of grief; they made it a rule in Israel; and the songs are recorded among the songs of grief.
E Jeremias fez uma lamentação sobre Josias; e todos os cantores e cantoras falaram de Josias nas suas lamentações, até ao dia de hoje; porque as deram por estatuto em Israel; e eis que estão escritas nas lamentações.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and the good he did, in keeping with what is recorded in the law of the Lord,
Quanto ao mais dos sucessos de Josias, e as suas beneficências, conforme está escrito na lei do Senhor,
27 And all his acts, first and last, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
E os seus sucessos, tanto os primeiros como os últimos, eis que estão escritos no livro dos reis de Israel e de Judá.
