2 Kings 23

1 And the king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.

Então o rei enviou, e todos os anciãos de Judah e de Jerusalem se ajuntaram a elle.

2 And the king went up into the house of Jehovah, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great; and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which had been found in the house of Jehovah.

E o rei subiu á casa do Senhor, e com elle todos os homens de Judah, e todos o moradores de Jerusalem, e os sacerdotes, e os prophetas, e todo o povo, desde o mais pequeno até ao maior: e leu aos ouvidos d'elles todas as palavras do livro do concerto, que se achou na casa do Senhor.

3 And the king stood on the dais, and made a covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all [his] heart, and with all [his] soul, to establish the words of this covenant that are written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.

E o rei se poz em pé junto á columna, e fez o concerto perante o Senhor, para andarem atraz do Senhor, e guardarem os seus mandamentos, e os seus testemunhos, e os seus estatutos, com todo o coração, e com toda a alma, confirmando as palavras d'este concerto, que estavam escriptas n'aquelle livro; e todo o povo esteve por este concerto.

4 And the king commanded Hilkijah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers, to bring forth out of the temple of Jehovah all the vessels that had been made for Baal, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of the heavens; and he burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them to Bethel.

E o rei mandou ao summo sacerdote Hilkias, e aos sacerdotes da segunda ordem, e aos guardas do umbral da porta, que se tirassem do templo do Senhor todos os vasos que se tinham feito para Baal, e para o bosque, e para todo o exercito dos céus: e os queimou fóra de Jerusalem, nos campos de Cedron, e levou o pó d'elles a Bethel.

5 And he abolished the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense on the high places in the cities of Judah, and the environs of Jerusalem; and them that burned incense to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the constellations, and to all the host of heaven.

Tambem abrogou os sacerdotes que os reis de Judah estabeleceram para incensarem sobre os altos nas cidades de Judah, e ao redor de Jerusalem, como tambem os que incensavam a Baal, ao sol, e á lua, e aos mais planetas, e a todo o exercito dos céus.

6 And he brought out the Asherah from the house of Jehovah, outside Jerusalem, to the torrent of Kidron, and burned it at the torrent of Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder upon the graves of the children of the people.

Tambem tirou da casa do Senhor o bosque para fóra de Jerusalem até ao ribeiro de Cedron, e o queimou junto ao ribeiro de Cedron, e o desfez em pó, e lançou o seu pó sobre as sepulturas dos filhos do povo

7 And he broke down the houses of the sodomites, which were in the house of Jehovah, where the women wove tents for the Asherah.

Tambem derribou as casas dos rapazes escandalosos que estavam na casa do Senhor, em que as mulheres teciam casinhas para o bosque.

8 And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba even to Beer-sheba; and he broke down the high places of the gates, those at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, [and] those on the left hand of any [going in] at the gate of the city.

E a todos os sacerdotes trouxe das cidades de Judah, e profanou os altos em que os sacerdotes incensavam, desde Geba até Berseba: e derribou os altos das portas, o que estava á entrada da porta de Josué, o chefe da cidade, que estava á mão esquerda d'aquelle que entrava pela porta da cidade.

9 Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of Jehovah in Jerusalem, but they ate of the unleavened bread among their brethren.

Mas os sacerdotes dos altos não sacrificavam sobre o altar do Senhor em Jerusalem; porém comiam pães asmos no meio de seus irmãos.

10 And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the sons of Hinnom, that no man might cause his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.

Tambem profanou a Topheth, que está no valle dos filhos de Hinnom; para que ninguem fizesse passar a seu filho, ou sua filha, pelo fogo a Molech.

11 And he abolished the horses that the kings of Judah had appointed to the sun at the entrance of the house of Jehovah, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun, with fire.

Tambem tirou os cavallos que os reis de Judah tinham ordenado para o sol, á entrada da casa do Senhor, perto da camara de Nathan-melech, o eunucho, que estava no precinto: e os carros do sol queimou a fogo.

12 And the king broke down the altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars that Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of Jehovah, and he shattered them, [removing them] from thence, and cast the powder of them into the torrent of Kidron.

Tambem o rei derribou os altares que estavam sobre o terraço do cenaculo de Achaz, os quaes fizeram os reis de Judah, como tambem o rei derribou os altares que fizera Manasseh nos dois atrios da casa do Senhor: e esmiuçados os tirou d'ali, e lançou o pó d'elles no ribeiro de Cedron.

13 And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.

O rei profanou tambem os altos que estavam defronte de Jerusalem, á mão direita do monte de Mashith, os quaes edificara Salomão, rei d'Israel, a Astoreth, a abominação dos sidonios, e a Camos, a abominação dos moabitas, e a Milcom, a abominação dos filhos d'Ammon.

14 And he broke in pieces the columns, and cut down the Asherahs, and filled their place with the bones of men.

Similhantemente quebrou as estatuas, e cortou os bosques, e encheu o seu logar com ossos de homens.

15 Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, the high place that Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he broke down; and burned the high place, stamped it small to powder, and burned the Asherah.

E tambem o altar que estava em Bethel, e o alto que fez Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, que tinha feito peccar a Israel, juntamente com aquelle altar tambem o alto derribou; queimando o alto, em pó o esmiuçou, e queimou o bosque.

16 And Josiah turned himself, and saw the sepulchres that were there on the mount; and he sent and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned [them] upon the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of Jehovah, that the man of God had proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.

E, virando-se Josias, viu as sepulturas que estavam ali no monte, e enviou, e tomou os ossos das sepulturas, e os queimou sobre aquelle altar, e assim o profanou, conforme palavra do Senhor, que apregoara o homem de Deus, quando apregoou estas palavras.

17 Then he said, What tombstone is that which I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things which thou hast done against the altar of Bethel.

Então disse: Que é este monumento que vejo? E o homens da cidade lhe disseram: É a sepultura do homem de Deus que veiu de Judah, e apregoou estas coisas que fizeste contra este altar de Bethel.

18 And he said, Let him alone; let no man move his bones. And they saved his bones, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.

E disse: Deixae-o estar; ninguem mexa nos seus ossos. Assim deixaram estar os seus ossos com os ossos do propheta que viera de Samaria.

19 And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke [Jehovah] to anger, Josiah removed, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.

De mais d'isto tambem Josias tirou todas as casas dos altos que havia nas cidades de Samaria, e que os reis d'Israel tinham feito para provocarem á ira; e lhes fez conforme todos os feitos que tinha feito em Bethel.

20 And he sacrificed upon the altars all the priests of the high places that were there, and burned men's bones upon them. And he returned to Jerusalem.

E sacrificou todos os sacerdotes dos altos, que havia ali, sobre os altares, e queimou ossos de homens sobre elles: depois voltou a Jerusalem.

21 And the king commanded all the people saying, Hold the passover to Jehovah your God, as it is written in this book of the covenant.

E o rei deu ordem a todo o povo, dizendo: Celebrae a paschoa ao Senhor vosso Deus, como está escripto no livro do concerto.

22 For there was not holden such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;

Porque nunca se celebrou tal paschoa como esta desde os dias dos juizes que julgaram a Israel, nem em todos os dias dos reis d'Israel, nem tão pouco dos reis de Judah.

23 but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this passover holden to Jehovah in Jerusalem.

Porém no anno decimo oitavo do rei Josias esta paschoa se celebrou ao Senhor em Jerusalem.

24 Moreover the necromancers and the soothsayers, and the teraphim and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, Josiah took away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkijah the priest had found in the house of Jehovah.

E tambem os adivinhos, e os feiticeiros, e os terafins, e os idolos, e todas as abominações que se viam na terra de Judah e em Jerusalem, os extirpou Josias, para confirmar as palavras da lei, que estavam escriptas no livro que o sacerdote Hilkias achara na casa do Senhor.

25 And before him there had been no king like him that turned to Jehovah with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there his like.

E antes d'elle não houve rei similhante, que se convertesse ao Senhor com todo o seu coração, e com toda a sua alma, e com todas as suas forças, conforme toda a lei de Moysés: e depois d'elle nunca se levantou outro tal.

26 But Jehovah turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked him.

Todavia o Senhor se não tornou do ardor da sua grande ira, com que ardia a sua ira contra Judah, por todas as provocações com que Manasseh o tinha provocado.

27 And Jehovah said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and will reject this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.

E disse o Senhor: Tambem a Judah hei de tirar de diante da minha face, como tirei a Israel, e rejeitarei esta cidade de Jerusalem que elegi, como tambem a casa de que disse: Estará ali o meu nome.

28 And the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

Ora o mais dos successos de Josias, e tudo quanto fez, porventura não está escripto no livro das chronicas dos reis de Judah?

29 In his days Pharaoh-Nechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates; and king Josiah went against him; but [Nechoh] slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.

Nos seus dias subiu Pharaó Neco, rei do Egypto, contra o rei d'Assyria, ao rio Euphrates: e o rei Josias lhe foi ao encontro; e, vendo-o elle, o matou em Megiddo.

30 And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's stead.

E seus servos o levaram morto de Megiddo, e o trouxeram a Jerusalem, e o sepultaram na sua sepultura: e o povo da terra tomou a Joachaz, filho de Josias, e o ungiram, e o fizeram rei em logar de seu pae.

31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

Tinha Joachaz vinte e tres annos de edade quando começou a reinar, e tres mezes reinou em Jerusalem: e era o nome de sua mãe Hamutal, filha de Jeremias, de Libna.

32 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers had done.

E fez o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor, conforme tudo o que fizeram seus paes.

33 And Pharaoh-Nechoh had him bound at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and laid a tribute upon the land of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

Porém Pharaó Neco o mandou prender em Ribla, em terra de Hamath, para que não reinasse em Jerusalem: e á terra impoz pena de cem talentos de prata e um talento de oiro.

34 And Pharaoh-Nechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king instead of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And he took Jehoahaz; and he came to Egypt, and died there.

Tambem Pharaó Neco estabeleceu rei a Eliakim, filho de Josias, em logar de seu pae Josias, e lhe mudou o nome em Joaquim: porém a Joachaz tomou comsigo, e veiu ao Egypto e morreu ali.

35 And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he laid a proportional tax on the land to give the money according to the command of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every one according to his estimation, to give it to Pharaoh-Nechoh.

E Joaquim deu aquella prata e aquelle oiro a Pharaó; porém fintou a terra, para dar esse dinheiro conforme o mandado de Pharaó: a cada um segundo a sua avaliação demandou a prata e o oiro do povo da terra, para o dar a Pharaó Neco.

36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Zebuddah, daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.

Tinha Joaquim vinte e cinco annos de edade quando começou a reinar, e reinou onze annos em Jerusalem: e era o nome de sua mãe Zebuda, filha de Pedaia, de Ruma.

37 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers had done.

E fez o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor, conforme tudo quanto fizeram seus paes.
