< 2 Kings 23 >

1 And they brought the king word again what she had said. And he sent: and all the ancients of Juda and Jerusalem were assembled to him.
O rei enviou, e eles reuniram a ele todos os anciãos de Judá e de Jerusalém.
2 And the king went up to the temple of the Lord, and all the men of Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, the priests and the prophets, and all the people both little and great: and in the hearing of them all he read all the words of the book of the covenant, which was found in the house of the Lord.
O rei subiu à casa de Javé, e com ele todos os homens de Judá e todos os habitantes de Jerusalém - com os sacerdotes, os profetas e todo o povo, tanto pequeno como grande; e leu em suas audiências todas as palavras do livro do pacto que foi encontrado na casa de Javé.
3 And the king stood upon the step: and made a covenant with the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies and his ceremonies, with all their heart, and with all their soul, and to perform the words of this covenant, which were written in that book: and the people agreed to the covenant.
O rei ficou ao lado da coluna e fez um pacto perante Iavé para caminhar depois de Iavé e guardar seus mandamentos, seus testemunhos e seus estatutos com todo o seu coração e toda a sua alma, para confirmar as palavras deste pacto que foram escritas neste livro; e todo o povo concordou com o pacto.
4 And the king commanded Helcias the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers, to cast out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that had been made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burnt them without Jerusalem in the valley of Cedron, and he carried the ashes of them to Bethel.
O rei ordenou a Hilquias, o sumo sacerdote, e aos sacerdotes da segunda ordem, e aos guardas do umbral, que tirassem do templo de Javé todos os vasos que foram feitos para Baal, para o Asherah, e para todo o exército do céu; e ele os queimou fora de Jerusalém nos campos do Cedron, e levou suas cinzas para Betel.
5 And he destroyed the soothsayers, whom the kings of Juda had appointed to sacrifice in the high places in the cities of Juda, and round about Jerusalem: them also that burnt incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to the twelve signs, and to all the host of heaven.
Ele se livrou dos sacerdotes idólatras que os reis de Judá tinham ordenado para queimar incenso nos lugares altos das cidades de Judá e nos lugares ao redor de Jerusalém; aqueles que também queimavam incenso para Baal, para o sol, para a lua, para os planetas, e para todo o exército do céu.
6 And he caused the grove to be carried out from the house of the Lord without Jerusalem to the valley of Cedron, and he burnt it there, and reduced it to dust, and cast the dust upon the graves of the common people.
Ele trouxe o Asherah da casa de Iavé, fora de Jerusalém, para o riacho Kidron, e o queimou no riacho Kidron, e o espancou até o pó, e lançou seu pó sobre os túmulos do povo comum.
7 He destroyed also the pavilions of the effeminate, which were in the house of the Lord, for which the women wove as it were little dwellings for the grove.
Ele quebrou as casas das prostitutas do santuário masculino que estavam na casa de Yahweh, onde as mulheres teceram enforcamentos para o Asherah.
8 And he gathered together all the priests out of the cities of Juda: and he defiled the high places, where the priests offered sacrifice, from Gabaa to Bersabee: and he broke down the altars of the gates that were in the entering in of the gate of Josue governor of tile city, which was on the left hand of the gate of the city.
Ele trouxe todos os sacerdotes para fora das cidades de Judá, e sujou os altos lugares onde os sacerdotes tinham queimado incenso, de Geba a Beersheba; e derrubou os altos lugares dos portões que estavam na entrada do portão de Josué, o governador da cidade, que estavam à esquerda de um homem no portão da cidade.
9 However the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem: but only ate of the unleavened bread among their brethren.
No entanto, os sacerdotes dos altos não subiram ao altar de Javé em Jerusalém, mas comeram pães ázimos entre seus irmãos.
10 And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom: that no man should consecrate there his son or his daughter through fire to Moloch.
Ele contaminou Topheth, que fica no vale dos filhos de Hinnom, para que nenhum homem pudesse fazer seu filho ou sua filha passar pelo fogo para Molech.
11 And he took away the horses which the kings of Juda had given to the sun, at the entering in of the temple of the Lord, near the chamber of Nathanmelech the eunuch, who was in Pharurim: and he burnt the chariots of the sun with fire.
Ele tirou os cavalos que os reis de Judá tinham dedicado ao sol, na entrada da casa de Yahweh, pelo quarto de Nathan Melech, o oficial que estava na corte; e ele queimou as carruagens do sol com fogo.
12 And the altars that were upon the top of the upper chamber of Achaz, which the kings of Juda had made, and the altars which Manasses had made in the two courts of the temple of the Lord, the king broke down: and he ran from thence, and cast the ashes of them into the torrent Cedron.
O rei quebrou os altares que estavam no telhado da sala superior de Ahaz, que os reis de Judá tinham feito, e os altares que Manassés tinha feito nas duas cortes da casa de Yahweh, e os derrubou dali, e jogou seu pó no riacho Kidron.
13 The high places also that were at Jerusalem on the right side of the Mount of Offence, O which Solomon king of Israel had built to Astaroth the idol of the Sidonians, and to Chamos the scandal of Moab, and to Melchom the abomination of the children of Ammon, the king defiled.
O rei profanou os lugares altos que estavam diante de Jerusalém, que estavam à direita da montanha da corrupção, que Salomão, rei de Israel, tinha construído para Astoreth a abominação dos sidônios, e para Chemosh a abominação dos moabitas, e para Milcom a abominação dos filhos de Amon.
14 And he broke in pieces the statues, and cut down the groves: and he filled their places with the bones of dead men.
Ele quebrou em pedaços os pilares, cortou os postes de Asherah e encheu seus lugares com ossos de homens.
15 Moreover the altar also that was at Bethel, and the high place, which Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, had made: both the altar, and the high place he broke down and burnt, and reduced to powder, and burnt the grove.
Além disso, o altar que estava em Betel e o lugar alto que Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, que fez Israel pecar, tinha feito, mesmo aquele altar e o lugar alto que ele quebrou; e ele queimou o lugar alto e bateu nele até o pó, e queimou o Asherah.
16 And as Josias turned himself, he saw there the sepulchres that were in the mount: and he sent and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burnt them upon the altar, and defiled it according to the word of the Lord, which the man of God spoke, who had foretold these things.
Enquanto Josias se transformava, ele espiou os túmulos que estavam lá na montanha; e enviou, e tirou os ossos dos túmulos, e os queimou sobre o altar, e o contaminou, segundo a palavra de Javé que o homem de Deus proclamou, que proclamou estas coisas.
17 And he said: What is that monument which I see? And the men of that city answered: It is the sepulchre of the man of God, who came from Juda, and foretold these things which thou hast done upon the altar of Bethel.
Então ele disse: “Que monumento é esse que eu vejo?”. Os homens da cidade lhe disseram: “É o túmulo do homem de Deus que veio de Judá e proclamou estas coisas que você fez contra o altar de Betel”.
18 And he said: Let him alone, let no man move his bones. So his bones were left untouched with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.
Ele disse: “Deixe-o estar! Que ninguém lhe mexa os ossos”. Então eles deixaram seus ossos em paz, com os ossos do profeta que saiu de Samaria.
19 Moreover all the temples of the high places, which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord, Josias took away: and he did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
Todas as casas também dos lugares altos que estavam nas cidades de Samaria, que os reis de Israel tinham feito para provocar a ira de Iavé, Josias tirou, e fez a eles de acordo com todos os atos que ele tinha feito em Betel.
20 And he slew all the priests of the high places, that were there, upon the altars: and he burnt men’s bones upon them: and returned to Jerusalem.
Ele matou todos os sacerdotes dos altos que estavam ali, nos altares, e queimou ossos de homens sobre eles; e retornou a Jerusalém.
21 And he commanded all the people, saying: Keep the phase to the Lord your God, according as it is written in the book of this covenant.
O rei ordenou a todo o povo, dizendo: “Guardai a Páscoa para Javé vosso Deus, como está escrito neste livro do convênio”.
22 Now there was no such a phase kept from the days of the judges, who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Juda,
Certamente não foi celebrada tal Páscoa desde os dias dos juízes que julgavam Israel, nem em todos os dias dos reis de Israel, nem dos reis de Judá;
23 As was this phase that was kept to the Lord in Jerusalem, in the eighteenth year of king Josias.
mas no décimo oitavo ano do rei Josias, esta Páscoa foi celebrada a Iavé em Jerusalém.
24 Moreover the diviners by spirits, and soothsayers, and the figures of idols, and the uncleannesses, and the abominations, that had been in the land of Juda, and Jerusalem, Josias took away: that he might perform the words of the law, that were written in the book which Helcias the priest had found in the temple of the Lord.
Além disso, Josias removeu aqueles que tinham espíritos familiares, os feiticeiros e os terafins, e os ídolos, e todas as abominações que foram vistas na terra de Judá e em Jerusalém, para confirmar as palavras da lei que estavam escritas no livro que Hilquias, o sacerdote, encontrou na casa de Yahweh.
25 There was no king before him like unto him, that returned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with ail his strength, according to all the law of Moses: neither after him did there arise any like him.
Não houve rei como ele antes dele, que se voltou para Javé com todo o seu coração, com toda a sua alma e com todo o seu poder, de acordo com toda a lei de Moisés; e não houve rei como ele que se levantou depois dele.
26 But yet the Lord turned not away from the wrath of his great indignation, wherewith his anger was kindled against Juda: because of the provocations, wherewith Manasses had provoked him.
Notwithstanding, Javé não se voltou da ferocidade de sua grande ira, com a qual sua ira ardia contra Judá, por causa de toda a provocação com que Manassés o havia provocado.
27 And the Lord said: I will remove Juda also from before my face, as I have removed Israel: and I will cast off this city Jerusalem, which I chose, and the house, of which I said: My name shall be there.
Javé disse: “Eu também tirarei Judá da minha vista, como tirei Israel; e rejeitarei esta cidade que escolhi, até Jerusalém, e a casa da qual eu disse: 'Meu nome estará lá'”.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Josias, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
Agora o resto dos atos de Josias, e tudo o que ele fez, não estão escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?
29 In his days Pharao Nechao king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josias went to meet him: and was slain at Mageddo, when he had seen him.
Em seus dias, o Faraó Neco, rei do Egito, subiu contra o rei da Assíria até o rio Eufrates; e o rei Josias foi contra ele, mas o Faraó Neco o matou em Megido quando o viu.
30 And his servants carried him dead from Mageddo: and they brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in Iris own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias: and they anointed him, and made him king in his father’s stead.
Seus servos o levaram morto em uma carruagem de Megido, o levaram para Jerusalém e o sepultaram em sua própria tumba. O povo da terra tomou Jeoacaz, filho de Josias, e o ungiram, e o fizeram rei no lugar de seu pai.
31 Joachaz was three and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Amital, the daughter of Jeremias of Lobna.
Jehoahaz tinha vinte e três anos de idade quando começou a reinar; e reinou três meses em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era Hamutal, filha de Jeremias de Libnah.
32 And he did evil before the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
Ele fez o que era mau aos olhos de Iavé, de acordo com tudo o que seus pais tinham feito.
33 And Pharao Nechao bound him at Rebla, which is in the land of Emath, that he should not reign in Jerusalem: and he set a fine upon the land, of a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
O Faraó Neco o pôs em prisão em Ribla, na terra de Hamath, para que ele não reinasse em Jerusalém; e colocou a terra a um tributo de cem talentos de prata e um talento de ouro.
34 And Pharao Nechao made Eliacim the son of Josias king in the room of Josias his father: and turned his name to Joakim. And he took Joachaz away and carried him into Egypt, and he died there.
O Faraó Neco fez de Eliaquim o filho de Josias rei no lugar de seu pai, e mudou seu nome para Jeoiaquim; mas ele levou Jeoiaquim embora, e veio para o Egito e morreu lá.
35 And Joakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharao, after he had taxed the land for every man, to contribute according to the commandment of Pharao: and he exacted both the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every man according to his ability: to give to Pharao Nechao.
Jehoiaquim deu a prata e o ouro ao Faraó; mas ele tributou a terra para dar o dinheiro de acordo com o mandamento do Faraó. Ele exigiu a prata e o ouro do povo da terra, de todos de acordo com sua avaliação, para dá-la ao Faraó Necoh.
36 Joakim was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Zebida the daughter of Phadaia of Ruma.
Jehoiakim tinha vinte e cinco anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e reinou onze anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era Zebidah, filha de Pedaías de Rumah.
37 And he did evil before the Lord according to all that his fathers had done.
Ele fez o que era mau aos olhos de Iavé, de acordo com tudo o que seus pais haviam feito.
