2 Chronicles 29
1 Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old; and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Abijah the daughter of Zechariah.
Tinha Ezequias vinte e cinco annos de edade, quando começou a reinar e reinou vinte e nove annos em Jerusalem: e era o nome de sua mãe Abia, filha de Zacharias.
2 And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.
E fez o que era recto aos olhos do Senhor, conforme a tudo quanto fizera David seu pae.
3 He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired them.
Este, no anno primeiro do seu reinado, no mez primeiro, abriu as portas da casa do Senhor, e as reparou.
4 And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the broad place on the east;
E trouxe os sacerdotes, e os levitas, e os ajuntou na praça oriental,
5 and said unto them: 'Hear me, ye Levites: now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD, the God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.
E lhes disse: Ouvi-me, ó levitas, sanctificae-vos agora, e sanctificae a casa do Senhor, Deus de vossos paes, e tirae do sanctuario a immundicia.
6 For our fathers have acted treacherously, and done that which was evil in the sight of the LORD our God, and have forsaken Him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.
Porque nossos paes transgrediram, e fizeram o que era mal aos olhos do Senhor nosso Deus, e o deixaram; e desviaram os seus rostos do tabernaculo do Senhor, e lhe deram as costas.
7 Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt-offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel.
Tambem fecharam as portas do alpendre, e apagaram as lampadas, e não queimaram incenso nem offereceram holocaustos no sanctuario, ao Deus de Israel.
8 Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and He hath delivered them to be a horror, an astonishment, and a hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
Pelo que veiu grande ira do Senhor sobre Judah e Jerusalem, e os entregou á perturbação, á assolação, e ao assobio, como vós o estaes vendo com os vossos olhos.
9 For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.
Porque eis que nossos paes cairam á espada, e nossos filhos, e nossas filhas, e nossas mulheres por isso estiveram em captiveiro.
10 Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with the LORD, the God of Israel, that His fierce anger may turn away from us.
Agora me tem vindo ao coração, que façamos um concerto com o Senhor, Deus de Israel; para que se desvie de nós o ardor da sua ira
11 My sons, be not now negligent; for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before Him, to minister unto Him, and that ye should be His ministers, and offer unto Him.'
Agora, filhos meus, não sejaes negligentes; pois o Senhor vos tem escolhido para estardes diante d'elle para o servirdes, e para serdes seus ministros e queimadores de incenso.
12 Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah;
Então se levantaram os levitas, Mahath, filho d'Amasai, e Joel filho de Azarias, dos filhos dos kohathitas: e dos filhos de Merari, Kis, filho d'Abdi, e Azarias, filho de Jehalelel: e dos gersonitas, Joah, filho de Zimma, e Eden filho de Joah;
13 and of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeiel; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;
E d'entre os filhos de Elisaphan, Simri e Jeiel: d'entre os filhos d'Asaph, Zacharias e Matthanias:
14 and of the sons of Heman, Jehiel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.
E d'entre os filhos d'Heman, Jehiel e Simei: e d'entre os filhos de Jeduthun, Semaias e Uziel.
15 And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and went in, according to the commandment of the king by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD.
E ajuntaram a seus irmãos, e sanctificaram-se e vieram conforme ao mandado do rei, pelas palavras do Senhor, para purificarem a casa do Senhor.
16 And the priests went in unto the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad to the brook Kidron.
E os sacerdotes entraram dentro da casa do Senhor, para a purificar, e tiraram para fóra, ao pateo da casa do Senhor, toda a immundicia que acharam no templo do Senhor: e os levitas a tomaram, para a levarem para fóra, ao ribeiro de Cedron.
17 Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the LORD; and they sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days; and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
Começaram pois a sanctificar ao primeiro do mez primeiro: e ao oitavo dia do mez vieram ao alpendre do Senhor, e sanctificaram a casa do Senhor em oito dias: e no dia decimo sexto do primeiro mez acabaram.
18 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king within the palace, and said: 'We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, even the altar of burnt-offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the table of showbread, with all the vessels thereof.
Então entraram para dentro, ao rei Ezequias, e disseram: Já purificámos toda a casa do Senhor, como tambem o altar do holocausto com todos os seus vasos e a mesa da proposição com todos os seus vasos.
19 Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away when he acted treacherously, have we prepared and sanctified; and, behold, they are before the altar of the LORD.'
Tambem todos os vasos que o rei Achaz no seu reinado lançou fóra, na sua transgressão, já preparámos e sanctificámos: e eis que estão diante do altar do Senhor
20 Then Hezekiah the king arose early, and gathered the princes of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD.
Então o rei Ezequias se levantou de madrugada, e ajuntou os maioraes da cidade, e subiu á casa do Senhor.
21 And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he-goats, for a sin-offering for the kingdom and for the sanctuary and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of the LORD.
E trouxeram sete novilhos e sete carneiros, e sete cordeiros, e sete bodes, para sacrificio pelo peccado, pelo reino, e pelo sanctuario, e por Judah, e disse aos filhos de Aarão, os sacerdotes, que os offerecessem sobre o altar do Senhor.
22 So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and dashed it against the altar; and they killed the rams, and dashed the blood against the altar; they killed also the lambs, and dashed the blood against the altar.
E elles mataram os bois, e os sacerdotes tomaram o sangue e o espargiram sobre o altar: tambem mataram os carneiros, e espargiram o sangue sobre o altar: similhantemente mataram os cordeiros, e espargiram o sangue sobre o altar.
23 And they brought near the he-goats for the sin-offering before the king and the congregation, and they laid their hands upon them;
Então trouxeram os bodes para sacrificio pelo peccado, perante o rei e a congregação, e lhes impozeram as suas mãos.
24 and the priests killed them, and they made a sin-offering with their blood upon the altar, to make atonement for all Israel; for the king commanded that the burnt-offering and the sin-offering should be made for all Israel.
E os sacerdotes os mataram, e com o seu sangue fizeram expiação do peccado sobre o altar, para reconciliar a todo o Israel: porque o rei tinha ordenado que se fizesse aquelle holocausto e sacrificio pelo peccado, por todo o Israel.
25 And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was of the LORD by His prophets.
E poz os levitas na casa do Senhor com cymbalos, com alaudes, e com harpas, conforme ao mandado de David e de Gad, o vidente do rei, e do propheta Nathan: porque este mandado veiu do Senhor, por mão de seus prophetas.
26 And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
Estavam pois os levitas em pé com os instrumentos de David, e os sacerdotes com as trombetas.
27 And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt-offering upon the altar. And when the burnt-offering began, the song of the LORD began also, and the trumpets, together with the instruments of David king of Israel.
E deu ordem Ezequias que offerecessem o holocausto sobre o altar, e ao tempo em que começou o holocausto, começou tambem o canto do Senhor, com as trombetas e com os instrumentos de David, rei de Israel.
28 And all the congregation prostrated themselves, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt-offering was finished.
E toda a congregação se prostrou, quando cantavam o canto, e as trombetas se tocavam: tudo isto até o holocausto se acabar.
29 And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves and prostrated themselves.
E acabando de o offerecer, o rei e todos quantos com elle se acharam se prostraram e adoraram.
30 Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praises unto the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and prostrated themselves.
Então disse o rei Ezequias, e os maioraes, aos levitas que louvassem ao Senhor com as palavras de David, e d'Asaph, o vidente. E o louvaram com alegria e se inclinaram e adoraram.
31 Then Hezekiah answered and said: 'Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of the LORD.' And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank-offerings; and as many as were of a willing heart brought burnt-offerings.
E respondeu Ezequias, e disse: Agora vos consagrastes a vós mesmos ao Senhor; chegae-vos e trazei sacrificios e offertas de louvor á casa do Senhor. E a congregação trouxe sacrificios e offertas de louvor, e todo o voluntario de coração, holocaustos.
32 And the number of the burnt-offerings, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs; all these were for a burnt-offering to the LORD.
E o numero dos holocaustos, que a congregação trouxe, foi de setenta bois, cem carneiros, duzentos cordeiros: tudo isto em holocausto para o Senhor.
33 And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
Houve, tambem de coisas consagradas, seiscentos bois e tres mil ovelhas.
34 But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt-offerings; wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the priests had sanctified themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
Eram porém os sacerdotes mui poucos, e não podiam esfolar a todos os holocaustos; pelo que seus irmãos os levitas os ajudaram, até a obra se acabar, e até que os outros sacerdotes se sanctificaram; porque os levitas foram mais rectos de coração, para se sanctificarem, do que os sacerdotes.
35 And also the burnt-offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace-offerings, and the drink-offerings for every burnt-offering. So the service of the house of the LORD was firmly established.
E houve tambem holocaustos em abundancia, com a gordura das offertas pacificas, e com as offertas de licor para os holocaustos. Assim se estabeleceu o ministerio da casa do Senhor.
36 And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, because of that which God had prepared for the people; for the thing was done suddenly.
E Ezequias, e todo o povo se alegraram, de que Deus tinha preparado o povo; porque apressuradamente se fez esta obra.
