Ezra 3
1 And when the seventh month came, and the children of Israel were in the towns, the people came together like one man to Jerusalem.
Chegando pois o setimo mez, e estando os filhos d'Israel já nas cidades, se ajuntou o povo, como um só homem, em Jerusalem.
2 Then Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers the priests, and Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, with his brothers, got up and made the altar of the God of Israel for burned offerings as is recorded in the law of Moses, the man of God.
E levantou-se Josué, filho de Josadak, e seus irmãos, os sacerdotes, e Zorobabel, filho de Sealthiel, e seus irmãos, e edificaram o altar do Deus d'Israel, para offerecerem sobre elle holocausto, como está escripto na lei de Moysés, o homem de Deus
3 They put the altar on its base; for fear was on them because of the people of the countries: and they made burned offerings on it to the Lord, even burned offerings morning and evening.
E firmaram o altar sobre as suas bases, porque o terror estava sobre elles, por causa dos povos das terras: e offereceram sobre elle holocaustos ao Senhor, holocaustos de manhã e de tarde.
4 And they kept the feast of tents, as it is recorded, making the regular burned offerings every day by number, as it is ordered; for every day what was needed.
E celebraram a festa dos tabernaculos, como está escripto: offereceram holocaustos de dia em dia por ordem, conforme ao rito, cada coisa no seu dia.
5 And after that, the regular burned offering and the offerings for the new moons and all the fixed feasts of the Lord which had been made holy, and the offering of everyone who freely gave his offering to the Lord.
E depois d'isto o holocausto continuo, e os das luas novas e de todas as solemnidades sanctificadas do Senhor; como tambem de qualquer que offerecia offerta voluntaria ao Senhor:
6 From the first day of the seventh month they made a start with the burned offerings, but the base of the Temple of the Lord had still not been put in its place.
Desde o primeiro dia do setimo mez começaram a offerecer holocaustos ao Senhor: porém ainda não estavam postos os fundamentos do templo do Senhor.
7 And they gave money to the stoneworkers and woodworkers; and meat and drink and oil to the people of Zidon and of Tyre, for the transport of cedar-trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, as Cyrus, king of Persia, had given them authority to do.
Deram pois o dinheiro aos cortadores e artifices, como tambem comida e bebida, e azeite aos sidonios, e aos tyrios, para trazerem do Libano madeira de cedro ao mar de Joppe, segundo a concessão que lhes tinha feito Cyro, rei da Persia.
8 Now in the second year of their coming into the house of God in Jerusalem, in the second month, the work was taken in hand by Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come from the land where they were prisoners to Jerusalem: and they made the Levites, of twenty years old and over, responsible for overseeing the work of the house of the Lord.
E no segundo anno da sua vinda á casa de Deus em Jerusalem, no segundo mez, começaram Zorobabel, filho de Sealthiel, e Josué, filho de Josadak, e os outros seus irmãos, os sacerdotes e os levitas, e todos os que vieram do captiveiro a Jerusalem; e constituiram os levitas da edade de vinte annos e d'ahi para cima, para que aviassem a obra da casa do Senhor.
9 Then Jeshua with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel with his sons, the sons of Hodaviah, together took up the work of overseeing the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad with their sons and their brothers, the Levites.
Então se levantou Josué, seus filhos, e seus irmãos, Kadmiel e seus filhos, os filhos de Judah, como um só homem, para aviarem os que faziam a obra na casa de Deus, com os filhos d'Henadad, seus filhos e seus irmãos, os levitas.
10 And when the builders put in position the base of the Temple of the Lord, the priests, dressed in their robes, took their places with horns, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with brass instruments, to give praise to the Lord in the way ordered by David, king of Israel.
Quando pois os edificadores lançaram os alicerces do templo do Senhor, então apresentaram-se os sacerdotes, já vestidos e com trombetas, e os levitas, filhos d'Asaph, com psalterios, para louvarem ao Senhor, conforme á instituição de David, rei d'Israel.
11 And they gave praise to the Lord, answering one another in their songs and saying, For he is good, for his mercy to Israel is eternal. And all the people gave a great cry of joy, when they gave praise to the Lord, because the base of the Lord's house was put in place.
E cantavam a revezes, louvando e celebrando ao Senhor; porque é bom; porque a sua benignidade dura para sempre sobre Israel. E todo o povo jubilou com grande jubilo, quando louvaram ao Senhor, pela fundação da casa do Senhor.
12 But a number of the priests and Levites and the heads of families, old men who had seen the first house, when the base of this house was put down before their eyes, were overcome with weeping; and a number were crying out with joy:
Porém muitos dos sacerdotes, e levitas e chefes dos paes, já velhos, que viram a primeira casa, sobre o seu fundamento, vendo perante os seus olhos esta casa, choraram em altas vozes; mas muitos levantaram as vozes com jubilo e com alegria.
13 So that in the ears of the people the cry of joy was mixed with the sound of weeping; for the cries of the people were loud and came to the ears of those who were a long way off.
De maneira que não discernia o povo as vozes do jubilo d'alegria, das vozes do choro do povo; porque o povo jubilava com tão grande jubilo, que as vozes se ouviam de mui longe.
