< Ezra 8 >

1 Now these are the heads of families who were listed of those who went up with me from Babylon, when Artaxerxes was king.
Estes pois são os chefes de seus pais, com as suas genealogias, dos que subiram comigo de Babilônia no reinado do rei Artaxerxes:
2 Of the sons of Phinehas, Gershom; of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel; of the sons of David, Hattush;
Dos filhos de Phineas, Gersom; dos filhos de Ithamar, Daniel; dos filhos de David, Hatus;
3 Of the sons of Shecaniah; of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah; and with him were listed a hundred and fifty males.
Dos filhos de Sechanias, e dos filhos de páreos, Zacarias; e com ele por genealogias se contaram até cento e cincoênta homens.
4 Of the sons of Pahath-moab, Eliehoenai, the son of Zerahiah; and with him two hundred males.
Dos filhos de Pahath-moab, Elie-Hoeni, filho de Zerachias; e com ele duzentos homens.
5 Of the sons of Shecaniah, the son of Jahaziel; and with him three hundred males.
Dos filhos de Sechanias, o filho de Jehaziel; e com ele trezentos homens.
6 And of the sons of Adin, Ebed, the son of Jonathan; and with him fifty males.
E dos filhos de Adin, Ebed, filho de Jonathan; e com ele cincoênta homens.
7 And of the sons of Elam, Jeshaiah; the son of Athaliah; and with him seventy males.
E dos filhos de Elam, Jesaias, filho de Athalias; e com ele setenta homens.
8 And of the sons of Shephatiah, Zebadiah, the son of Michael; and with him eighty males.
E dos filhos de Sephatias, Zebadias, filho de Michael; e com ele oitenta homens.
9 Of the sons of Joab, Obadiah, the son of Jehiel; and with him two hundred and eighteen males.
Dos filhos de Joab, Obadias filho de Jehiel; e com ele duzentos e dezoito homens.
10 And of the sons of Shelomith, the son of Josiphiah; and with him a hundred and sixty males.
E dos filhos de Selomith, o filho de Josiphias; e com ele cento e sessenta homens.
11 And of the sons of Bebai, Zechariah, the son of Bebai; and with him twenty-eight males.
E dos filhos de Bebai, Zacarias, o filho de Bebai; e com ele vinte e oito homens.
12 And of the sons of Azgad, Johanan, the son of Hakkatan; and with him a hundred and ten males.
E dos filhos de Azgad, Johanan, o filho de Katan; e com ele cento e dez homens.
13 And of the sons of Adonikam, the last, whose names were Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah; and with them sixty males.
E dos últimos filhos de Adonikam, cujos nomes eram estes: Eliphelet, Jeiel e Semais; e com eles sessenta homens.
14 And of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud; and with them seventy males.
E dos filhos de Bigvai, Uthai e Zabbud; e com eles setenta homens.
15 And I made them come together by the river flowing to Ahava; and we were there in tents for three days: and after viewing the people and the priests I saw that no sons of Levi were there.
E ajuntei-os para o rio que vai a Ahava, e ficamos ali acampados três dias: então atentei para o povo e para os sacerdotes, e não achei ali nenhum dos filhos de Levi.
16 Then I sent for Eliezer and Ariel and Shemaiah and Elnathan Jarib and Elnathan and Nathan and Zechariah and Meshullam, all responsible men; and for Joiarib and Elnathan, who were wise men.
Enviei pois Eliezer, Ariel, Semaias, e Elnathan, e Jarib, e Elnathan, e Nethan, e Zacarias, e Mesullam, os chefes: como também a Joiarib, e a Elnathan, que eram sábios.
17 And I sent them to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and gave them orders what to say to Iddo and his brothers the Nethinim at the place Casiphia, so that they might come back to us with men to do the work of the house of our God.
E dei-lhes mandado para Iddo, chefe no lugar de Casiphia: e lhes pus palavras na boca para dizerem a Iddo, seu irmão, e aos nethineos, no lugar de Casiphia, que nos trouxessem ministros para a casa do nosso Deus.
18 And by the help of our God they got for us Ish-sechel, one of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah with his sons and brothers, eighteen;
E trouxeram-nos segundo a boa mão de Deus sobre nós, um homem entendido, dos filhos de Machli, filho de Levi, filho de Israel: a saber: Serebias, com os seus filhos e irmãos, dezoito;
19 And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty;
E a Hasabias, e com ele Jesaias, dos filhos de Merari; com seus irmãos e os filhos deles, vinte;
20 And of the Nethinim, to whom David and the captains had given the work of helping the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim, all of them specially named.
E dos nethineos que David e os príncipes deram para o ministério dos levitas, duzentos e vinte nethineos: que todos foram expressos por seus nomes.
21 Then I gave orders for a time of going without food, there by the river Ahava, so that we might make ourselves low before our God in prayer, requesting from him a straight way for us and for our little ones and for all our substance.
Então apregoei ali um jejum junto ao rio Ahava, para nos humilharmos diante da face de nosso Deus, para lhe pedirmos caminho direito para nós, e para nossos filhos, e para toda a nossa fazenda.
22 For I would not, for shame, make request to the king for a band of armed men and horsemen to give us help against those who might make attacks on us on the way: for we had said to the king, The hand of our God is on his servants for good, but his power and his wrath are against all those who are turned away from him.
Porque me envergonhei de pedir ao rei exército e cavaleiros para nos defenderem do inimigo no caminho: porquanto tinhamos falado ao rei, dizendo: A mão do nosso Deus é sobre todos os que o buscam para o bem deles, mas a sua força e a sua ira sobre todos os que o deixam.
23 So we went without food, requesting our God for this: and his ear was open to our prayer.
Nós pois jejuamos, e pedimos isto ao nosso Deus, e moveu-se pelas nossas orações.
24 So I put on one side twelve of the chiefs of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers with them,
Então separei doze dos maiorais dos sacerdotes: Serebias, Hasabias, e com eles dez dos seus irmãos.
25 And gave to them by weight the silver and the gold and the vessels, all the offering for the house of our God which the king and his wise men and his captains and all Israel there present had given:
E pesei-lhes a prata, e o ouro, e os vasos: que era a oferta para a casa de nosso Deus, que ofereceram o rei e os seus conselheiros, e os seus príncipes, e todo o Israel que ali se achou.
26 Measuring into their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels, a hundred talents' weight, and a hundred talents of gold,
E pesei em suas mãos seiscentos e cincoênta talentos de prata, e em vasos de prata cem talentos, e cem talentos de ouro.
27 And twenty gold basins, of a thousand darics, and two vessels of the best bright brass, equal in value to gold.
E vinte taças de ouro, de mil dracmas, e dois vasos de bom metal lustroso, tão desejável como ouro.
28 And I said to them, You are holy to the Lord and the vessels are holy: and the silver and the gold are an offering freely given to the Lord, the God of your fathers.
E disse-lhes: Consagrados sois do Senhor, e sagrados são estes vasos, como também esta prata e este ouro, oferta voluntária, oferecida ao Senhor Deus de vossos pais,
29 Take care of them and keep them, till you put them on the scales before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites and the chiefs of the families of Israel, in Jerusalem, in the rooms of the house of the Lord.
Vigiai pois, e guardai-os até que os peseis na presença dos maiorais dos sacerdotes e dos levitas, e dos príncipes dos pais de Israel, em Jerusalém, nas câmaras da casa de Deus.
30 So the priests and the Levites took the weight of silver and gold and the vessels, to take them to Jerusalem into the house of our God.
Então receberam os sacerdotes e os levitas o peso da prata, e do ouro, e dos vasos, para o trazerem a Jerusalém, à casa de nosso Deus.
31 Then we went away from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem; and the hand of our God was on us, and he gave us salvation from our haters and those who were waiting to make an attack on us by the way.
E partimos do rio de Ahava, no dia doze do primeiro mes, para irmos para Jerusalém: e a mão do nosso Deus estava sobre nós, e livrou-nos da mão dos inimigos, e dos que nos armavam ciladas no caminho.
32 And we came to Jerusalem and were there for three days.
E viemos a Jerusalém, e repousamos ali três dias.
33 And on the fourth day, the silver and the gold and the vessels were measured out by weight in the house of our God into the hands of Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the priest; and with him was Eleazar, the son of Phinehas; and with them were Jozabad, the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah, the son of Binnui, the Levites;
E no dia quatro se pesou a prata, e o ouro, e os vasos, na casa do nosso Deus, por mão de Meremoth, filho do sacerdote Urias, e com ele Eleazar, filho de Phineas: e com eles Jozabad, filho de Jesué, e Noadias, filho de Binui, levitas;
34 All was handed over by number and by weight: and the weight was put on record at that time.
Conforme ao número e conforme ao peso de tudo aquilo; e todo o peso se descreveu no mesmo tempo.
35 And those who had been prisoners, who had come back from a strange land, made burned offerings to the God of Israel, twelve oxen for all Israel, ninety-six male sheep, seventy-seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering: all this was a burned offering to the Lord.
E os transportados, que vieram do cativeiro, ofereceram holocaustos ao Deus de Israel: doze novilhos por todo o Israel, noventa e seis carneiros, setenta e sete cordeiros, e doze bodes em sacrifício pelo pecado: tudo em holocausto ao Senhor.
36 And they gave the king's orders to the king's captains and the rulers across the river, and they gave the people and the house of God the help which was needed.
Então deram as ordens do rei aos sátrapas do rei, e aos governadores de aquém do rio; e ajudaram o povo e a casa de Deus.
