2 Chronicles 31
1 And when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and broke the columns, and hewed down the Asherahs, and demolished the high places and the altars in all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. And all the children of Israel returned every man to his possession, into their cities.
Feitas todas estas coisas, todos os de Israel que se haviam achado ali, saíram pelas cidades de Judá, e quebraram as estátuas e destruíram os bosques, e derrubaram os altos e os altares por todo Judá e Benjamim, e também em Efraim e Manassés,
2 And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests, and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, as well the priests as the Levites, for burnt-offerings and for peace-offerings, to serve and to give thanks and to praise in the gates of the courts of Jehovah.
E definiu Ezequias as repartições dos sacerdotes e dos levitas conforme a suas ordens, cada um segundo seu ofício, os sacerdotes e os levitas para o holocausto e pacíficos, para que ministrassem, para que confessassem e louvassem às portas dos acampamentos do SENHOR.
3 And [he ordered] that the king's portion [should be taken] from his substance for the burnt-offerings: for the morning and evening burnt-offerings, for the burnt-offerings of the sabbaths, and of the new moons, and of the set feasts, as it is written in the law of Jehovah.
A contribuição do rei de sua riqueza era holocaustos a manhã e tarde, e holocaustos para os sábados, novas luas, e solenidades, como está escrito na lei do SENHOR.
4 And he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of Jehovah.
Mandou também ao povo que habitava em Jerusalém, que dessem a porção aos sacerdotes e levitas, para que se esforçassem na lei do SENHOR.
5 And as soon as the commandment was published, the children of Israel gave in abundance the firstfruits of corn, new wine and oil and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and they brought in abundantly the tithe of all [things].
E quando este edito foi divulgado, os filhos de Israel deram muitas primícias de grão, vinho, azeite, mel, e de todos os frutos da terra: trouxeram também os dízimos de todas as coisas em abundância.
6 And the children of Israel and of Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated to Jehovah their God, and laid them by heaps.
Também os filhos de Israel e de Judá, que habitavam nas cidades de Judá, deram do mesmo modo os dízimos das vacas e das ovelhas: e trouxeram os dízimos do santificado, das coisas que haviam prometido ao SENHOR seu Deus, e puseram-nos por amontoados.
7 In the third month they began to lay the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
No mês terceiro começaram a fundar aqueles amontoados, e no mês sétimo acabaram.
8 And Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, and they blessed Jehovah, and his people Israel.
E Ezequias e os príncipes vieram a ver os amontoados, e bendisseram ao SENHOR, e a seu povo Israel.
9 And Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
E perguntou Ezequias aos sacerdotes e aos levitas acerca dos amontoados.
10 And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok spoke to him and said, Since they began to bring the heave-offerings into the house of Jehovah, we have eaten and been satisfied and have left plenty; for Jehovah has blessed his people; and what is left is this great store.
E respondeu-lhe Azarias, sumo sacerdote, da casa de Zadoque, e disse: Desde que começaram a trazer a oferta à casa do SENHOR, comemos e nos saciamos, e nos sobrou muito: porque o SENHOR abençoou seu povo, e restou esta abundância.
11 And Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of Jehovah; and they prepared [them],
Então mandou Ezequias que preparassem câmaras na casa do SENHOR; e prepararam-nas.
12 and brought in the heave-offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully; and over these Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was second.
E puseram as primícias e dízimos e as coisas consagradas, fielmente; e deram cargo disso a Conanias levita, o principal, e Simei seu irmão foi o segundo.
13 And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Jismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the command of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.
E Jeiel, Azazias, Naate, Asael, Jeremote, Jozabade, Eliel, Ismaquias, Maate, e Benaia, foram capatazes sob a mão de Conanias e de Simei seu irmão, por mandamento do rei Ezequias e de Azarias, príncipe da casa de Deus.
14 And Kore the son of Jimnah the Levite, the doorkeeper toward the east, was over the voluntary-offerings of God, to distribute the heave-offerings of Jehovah, and the most holy things.
E Coré filho de Imná levita, porteiro ao oriente, tinha cargo dos donativos de Deus, e das ofertas do SENHOR que se davam, e de tudo o que se santificava.
15 And under him were Eden and Miniamin and Jeshua and Shemaiah, Amariah and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in [their] set trust, to make distributions to their brethren by [their] divisions, to the great as to the small,
E a sua mão estava Éden, Benjamim, Jesua, Semaías, Amarias, e Secanias, nas cidades dos sacerdotes, para dar com fidelidade a seus irmãos suas partes conforme a suas ordens, assim ao maior como ao menor:
16 besides those from three years old and upward who as males were entered in the genealogical register, — all that came into the house of Jehovah, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their charges, according to their divisions,
A mais dos homens anotados por suas linhagens, de três anos acima, a todos os que entravam na casa do SENHOR, sua porção diária por seu ministério, segundo seus ofícios e classes;
17 — both to the priests enregistered according to their fathers' houses, and to the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges, by their divisions;
Também aos que eram contados entre os sacerdotes pelas famílias de seus pais, e aos levitas de idade de vinte anos acima, conforme a seus ofícios e ordens;
18 and to all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, the whole congregation of those entered in the register; for in their trust they hallowed themselves to be holy.
Assim aos de sua geração com todos seus meninos, e suas mulheres, e seus filhos e filhas, a toda a família; porque com fidelidade se consagravam às coisas santas.
19 And for the sons of Aaron the priests who were in the country, in the suburbs of their cities, there were, in every several city, men expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all the Levites that were entered in the register.
Do mesmo modo em ordem aos filhos de Arão, sacerdotes, que estavam nos campos de suas cidades, por todas as cidades, os homens nomeados tinham cargo de dar suas porções a todos os homens dos sacerdotes, e a toda a linhagem dos levitas.
20 And thus did Hezekiah throughout Judah, and wrought what was good and right and true before Jehovah his God.
De esta maneira fez Ezequias em todo Judá: e executou o que era bom, correto, e verdadeiro, diante do SENHOR seu Deus.
21 And in every work that he undertook in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart and prospered.
Em tudo quanto começou no serviço da casa de Deus, e na lei e mandamentos, buscou a seu Deus, e o fez de todo coração, e foi próspero.
