2 Chronicles 35
1 Now Josiah kept the Passover to the Lord in Jerusalem, and it was immolated on the fourteenth day of the first month.
Josias celebrou uma Páscoa a Yahweh em Jerusalém. Eles mataram a Páscoa no décimo quarto dia do primeiro mês.
2 And he appointed the priests in their offices, and he exhorted them to minister in the house of the Lord.
Ele colocou os sacerdotes em seus escritórios e os encorajou no serviço da casa de Iavé.
3 Also, he spoke with the Levites, by whose instruction all of Israel was sanctified to the Lord, saying: “Place the ark in the sanctuary of the temple, which Solomon, the son of David, the king of Israel, built. For never again shall you carry it. Instead, now you shall minister to the Lord your God, and to his people Israel.
Ele disse aos levitas que ensinavam todo Israel, que eram santos para Javé: “Ponham a arca sagrada na casa que Salomão, filho de Davi, rei de Israel, construiu”. Ela não será mais um fardo sobre seus ombros”. Agora sirva a Javé seu Deus e seu povo Israel”.
4 And prepare yourselves by your houses and families, within each division, just as David, the king of Israel, instructed, and just as his son Solomon has written.
Preparem-se depois da casa de seus pais por suas divisões, de acordo com os escritos de Davi, rei de Israel, e de acordo com os escritos de Salomão, seu filho.
5 And minister in the sanctuary, by the Levitical families and companies.
Fiquem no lugar santo, de acordo com as divisões das casas dos pais de seus irmãos, os filhos do povo, e que haja para cada um uma porção de uma casa dos pais dos levitas.
6 And having been sanctified, immolate the Passover. And then prepare your brothers, so that they may be able to act in accord with the words which the Lord has spoken by the hand of Moses.”
Matem o cordeiro da Páscoa, santificem-se e preparem-se para seus irmãos, para fazer de acordo com a palavra de Javé por Moisés”.
7 After this, Josiah gave to all the people, those who had been found there at the solemnity of the Passover, thirty thousand lambs and young goats from the flocks, and other kinds of small cattle, and also three thousand oxen. All these were from the substance of the king.
Josias deu aos filhos do povo, do rebanho, cordeiros e cabritos, todos para as ofertas de Páscoa, a todos os presentes, ao número de trinta mil, e três mil touros. Estes eram de substância do rei.
8 Also, his rulers offered what they had vowed freely, as much for the people as for the priests and Levites. Moreover, Hilkiah, and Zechariah, and Jehiel, rulers of the house of the Lord, gave to the priests, in order to observe the Passover, two thousand six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.
Seus príncipes deram uma oferta de livre vontade ao povo, aos sacerdotes e aos levitas. Hilquias, Zacarias e Jeiel, os governantes da casa de Deus, deram aos sacerdotes para as ofertas de Páscoa duas mil e seiscentas cabeças de gado pequeno e trezentas cabeças de gado.
9 And Conaniah, with Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, indeed also Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, rulers of the Levites, gave to the rest of the Levites, in order to celebrate the Passover, five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.
Conaniah também, e Semaías e Nethanel, seus irmãos, e Hasabias, Jeiel e Jozabad, os chefes dos levitas, deram aos levitas para as ofertas da Páscoa cinco mil pequenos animais e quinhentas cabeças de gado.
10 And the ministry was prepared. And the priests stood in their office, and the Levites also stood in their companies, according to the order of the king.
Assim, o serviço foi preparado, e os sacerdotes ficaram em seu lugar, e os levitas por suas divisões, de acordo com o mandamento do rei.
11 And the Passover was immolated. And the priests sprinkled the blood with their hand, and the Levites drew away the pelts of the holocausts.
Eles mataram os cordeiros da Páscoa, e os sacerdotes aspergiram o sangue que receberam de suas mãos, e os levitas os esfolaram.
12 And they put these aside, so that they might give them to each one, by their houses and families, and so that they might be offered to the Lord, just as it was written in the book of Moses. And with the oxen, they acted similarly.
Eles removeram os holocaustos, para dar-lhes de acordo com as divisões das casas dos pais dos filhos do povo, para oferecer a Javé, como está escrito no livro de Moisés. Eles fizeram o mesmo com o gado.
13 And they roasted the Passover above fire, in accord with what was written in the law. Yet truly, the victims of peace offerings they boiled in cauldrons and kettles and pots. And they promptly distributed these to all the common people.
Eles assaram a Páscoa com fogo, de acordo com a ordenança. Cozeram as ofertas sagradas em panelas, em caldeirões e em panelas e as levaram rapidamente a todos os filhos do povo.
14 Then afterward, they made preparations for themselves and for the priests. Indeed, the priests had been occupied in the oblations of the holocausts and the fat offerings, even until night. Therefore, the Levites made preparations for themselves and for the priests, the sons of Aaron, last.
Depois se prepararam para si e para os sacerdotes, pois os sacerdotes, os filhos de Aarão, estavam ocupados em oferecer os holocaustos e a gordura até a noite. Portanto, os levitas prepararam para si mesmos e para os sacerdotes os filhos de Aarão.
15 Now the singers, the sons of Asaph, were standing in their order, according to the instruction of David, and of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, the prophets of the king. Truly, the porters kept watch at each gate, so as not to depart from their ministry even for one moment. And for this reason, their brothers, the Levites, prepared foods for them.
Os cantores, os filhos de Asafe, estavam em seu lugar, segundo o mandamento de Davi, Asafe, Heman e Jedutum, o vidente do rei; e os porteiros estavam em todos os portões. Eles não precisavam sair de seus serviços, porque seus irmãos, os levitas, se preparavam para eles.
16 And so, the entire worship ritual of the Lord was completed on that day, so that they observed the Passover and offered holocausts upon the altar of the Lord, in accord with the precept of king Josiah.
Então todo o serviço de Iavé foi preparado no mesmo dia, para manter a Páscoa e oferecer holocaustos no altar de Iavé, de acordo com o mandamento do rei Josias.
17 And the sons of Israel, who had been found there, kept the Passover at that time, with the solemnity of unleavened bread, for seven days.
Os filhos de Israel que estavam presentes mantinham a Páscoa naquela época, e a festa dos pães ázimos por sete dias.
18 There was no Passover similar to this one in Israel, from the days of Samuel the prophet. And neither did anyone, out of all the kings of Israel, keep such a Passover as did Josiah, the priests and Levites, and all those of Judah and Israel who had been found, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Não havia Páscoa como aquela celebrada em Israel desde os dias do profeta Samuel, nem nenhum dos reis de Israel celebrou uma Páscoa como a de Josias - com os sacerdotes, os levitas e todo Judá e Israel que estavam presentes, e os habitantes de Jerusalém.
19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah, this Passover was celebrated.
Esta Páscoa foi celebrada no décimo oitavo ano do reinado de Josias.
20 After Josiah had repaired the temple, Neco, the king of Egypt, ascended to fight at Carchemish, beside the Euphrates. And Josiah went out to meet him.
Depois de tudo isso, quando Josias tinha preparado o templo, Neco, rei do Egito, subiu para lutar contra Carchemish junto ao Eufrates, e Josias saiu contra ele.
21 But he sent messengers to him, saying: “What is there between me and you, O king of Judah? I have not come against you today. Instead, I am fighting against another house, to which God instructed me to go promptly. Refrain from acting against God, who is with me, otherwise he may kill you.”
Mas ele enviou embaixadores para ele, dizendo: “O que tenho a ver com você, seu rei de Judá? Hoje não venho contra você, mas contra a casa com a qual tenho guerra. Deus me ordenou que me apressasse. Cuidado que é Deus que está comigo, que ele não te destrua”.
22 Josiah was not willing to return. Instead, he prepared for war against him. Neither would he agree to the words of Neco from the mouth of God. In truth, he traveled so that he might do battle in the field of Megiddo.
Mesmo assim Josias não virou o rosto dele, mas se disfarçou para lutar com ele, e não ouviu as palavras de Neco da boca de Deus, e veio para lutar no vale de Megiddo.
23 And there, having been wounded by archers, he said to his servants: “Lead me away from the battle. For I have been severely wounded.”
Os arqueiros atiraram no rei Josias; e o rei disse a seus servos: “Levem-me embora, porque estou gravemente ferido!
24 And they took him from the chariot, into another chariot which was following him, as was the custom of kings. And they transported him to Jerusalem. And he died, and he was buried in the mausoleum of his fathers. And all of Judah and Jerusalem mourned for him,
Então, seus servos o tiraram da carruagem e o colocaram na segunda carruagem que ele tinha, e o trouxeram para Jerusalém; e ele morreu, e foi enterrado nos túmulos de seus pais. Todo Judá e Jerusalém choraram por Josias.
25 most of all Jeremiah. All the singing men and women repeat his lamentations over Josiah, even to the present day. And this has become like a law in Israel. Behold, it is found written in the Lamentations.
Jeremias lamentou por Josias, e todos os homens e mulheres cantores falaram de Josias em suas lamentações até os dias de hoje; e fizeram deles uma ordenança em Israel. Eis que eles estão escritos nas lamentações.
26 Now the rest of the words of Josiah, and his mercies, which were instructed by the law of the Lord,
Now o resto dos atos de Josias e suas boas obras, segundo o que está escrito na lei de Iavé,
27 and also his works, the first and the last, have been written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
e seus atos, primeiro e último, eis que estão escritos no livro dos reis de Israel e Judá.
