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.
Hezekiah começou a reinar aos vinte e cinco anos de idade, e reinou vinte e nove anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era Abias, a filha de Zacarias.
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of Yhwh, according to all that David his father had done.
Ele fez o que era certo aos olhos de Iavé, de acordo com tudo o que David, seu pai, havia feito.
3 He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of Yhwh, and repaired them.
No primeiro ano de seu reinado, no primeiro mês, ele abriu as portas da casa de Yahweh e as reparou.
4 And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the east street,
Ele trouxe os sacerdotes e os levitas e os reuniu no amplo lugar do leste,
5 And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of Yhwh God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.
e lhes disse: “Escutem-me, levitas! Agora santificai-vos e santificai a casa de Yahweh, o Deus de vossos pais, e levai a sujeira para fora do lugar santo”.
6 For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of Yhwh our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of Yhwh, and turned their backs.
Pois nossos pais foram infiéis, e fizeram o que era mau aos olhos de Iavé, nosso Deus, e o abandonaram, e viraram seus rostos para longe da habitação de Iavé, e viraram 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.
Também fecharam as portas do alpendre, apagaram as lâmpadas e não queimaram incenso nem ofereceram holocaustos no lugar santo ao Deus de Israel.
8 Wherefore the wrath of Yhwh was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
Portanto, a ira de Javé recaiu sobre Judá e Jerusalém, e ele os entregou para serem jogados para frente e para trás, para ser um espanto e um assobio, como você vê com seus 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.
Pois eis que nossos pais caíram pela espada, e nossos filhos, nossas filhas e nossas esposas estão em cativeiro por isso.
10 Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with Yhwh God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us.
Agora está em meu coração fazer um pacto com Javé, o Deus de Israel, para que sua raiva feroz se afaste de nós.
11 My sons, be not now negligent: for Yhwh hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister unto him, and burn incense.
Meus filhos, não sejam negligentes agora; pois Javé vos escolheu para estar diante dele, para ministrar a ele, e que vós sejais seus ministros e queimeis 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 Jehalelel: and of the Gershonites; Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah:
Depois surgiram os Levitas: Mahath, filho de Amasai, e Joel, filho de Azarias, dos filhos dos coatitas; e dos filhos de Merari, Kish, filho de Abdi, e Azarias, filho de Jehallelel; e dos gersonitas, Joah, filho de Zimmah, 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 dos filhos de Elizaphan, Shimri e Jeuel; e dos filhos de Asafe, Zacarias e Mattaniah;
14 And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shimei: and of the sons of Jeduthun; Shemaiah, and Uzziel.
e dos filhos de Heman, Jehuel e Shimei; e dos filhos de Jedutum, Semaías e Uzziel.
15 And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of Yhwh, to cleanse the house of Yhwh.
Eles reuniram seus irmãos, santificaram-se e entraram, de acordo com o mandamento do rei pelas palavras de Javé, para limpar a casa de Javé.
16 And the priests went into the inner part of the house of Yhwh, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of Yhwh into the court of the house of Yhwh. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron.
Os sacerdotes entraram na parte interna da casa de Iavé para limpá-la, e trouxeram toda a impureza que encontraram no templo de Iavé para a corte da casa de Iavé. Os levitas a levaram de lá para levá-la até o riacho Kidron.
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 Yhwh: so they sanctified the house of Yhwh in eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
Agora eles começaram no primeiro dia do primeiro mês a santificar, e no oitavo dia do mês vieram ao alpendre de Yahweh. Eles santificaram a casa de Yahweh em oito dias, e no décimo sexto dia do primeiro mês eles terminaram.
18 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of Yhwh, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof.
Então eles foram ao rei Ezequias dentro do palácio e disseram: “Limpamos toda a casa de Iavé, incluindo o altar de holocausto com todas as suas vasilhas, e a mesa de mostrar pão com todas as suas vasilhas”.
19 Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before the altar of Yhwh.
Moreover, preparamos e santificamos todas as vasilhas que o rei Acaz jogou fora em seu reinado quando foi infiel. Eis que estão diante do altar de Yahweh”.
20 Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of Yhwh.
Então o rei Ezequias levantou-se cedo, reuniu os príncipes da cidade e foi até a casa de Yahweh.
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 Yhwh.
Eles trouxeram sete touros, sete carneiros, sete cordeiros e sete bodes, para uma oferta pelo pecado, pelo reino, pelo santuário e por Judá. Ele ordenou aos sacerdotes os filhos de Aarão que os oferecessem no altar de Iavé.
22 So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: likewise, when they had killed the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar.
Então eles mataram os touros, e os sacerdotes receberam o sangue e o aspergiram sobre o altar. Eles mataram os carneiros e aspergiram o sangue sobre o altar. Eles também mataram os cordeiros e aspergiram o sangue sobre o altar.
23 And they brought forth the he goats for the sin offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them:
Aproximaram-se dos bodes macho para a oferta pelo pecado perante o rei e a assembléia; e colocaram suas mãos sobre eles.
24 And the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel: for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.
Então os sacerdotes os mataram e fizeram uma oferta pelo pecado com seu sangue sobre o altar, para fazer expiação por todo Israel; pois o rei ordenou que a oferta queimada e a oferta pelo pecado fossem feitas por todo Israel.
25 And he set the Levites in the house of Yhwh 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 so was the commandment of Yhwh by his prophets.
Ele colocou os levitas na casa de Iavé com címbalos, com instrumentos de cordas e com harpas, de acordo com o mandamento de Davi, de Gad, o vidente do rei, e Nathan, o profeta; pois o mandamento era de Iavé por seus profetas.
26 And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
Os levitas estavam com os instrumentos de Davi, 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 Yhwh began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by David king of Israel.
Hezekiah ordenou-lhes que oferecessem o holocausto sobre o altar. Quando o holocausto começou, o canto de Javé também começou, junto com as trombetas e os instrumentos de Davi, rei de Israel.
28 And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.
Toda a assembléia adorou, os cantores cantaram, e os trombeteiros tocaram. Tudo isso continuou até que o holocausto foi terminado.
29 And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves, and worshipped.
Quando terminaram de oferecer, o rei e todos os que estavam presentes com ele se curvaram e adoraram.
30 Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise unto Yhwh with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.
Moreover O rei Ezequias e os príncipes ordenaram aos levitas que cantassem louvores a Javé com as palavras de Davi, e de Asafe, o vidente. Eles cantaram louvores com alegria, e inclinaram a cabeça e adoraram.
31 Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto Yhwh, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of Yhwh. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a free heart burnt offerings.
Então Hezekiah respondeu: “Agora vocês se consagraram a Yahweh”. Aproximai-vos e trazei sacrifícios e agradecimentos na casa de Iavé”. A assembléia trouxe sacrifícios e ofertas de agradecimento, e todos os que tinham um coração disposto trouxeram ofertas queimadas.
32 And the number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, an hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to Yhwh.
O número de ofertas queimadas que a assembléia trouxe foi de setenta touros, cem carneiros e duzentos cordeiros. Todos estes foram para uma oferta queimada a Javé.
33 And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
As coisas consagradas eram seiscentas cabeças de gado e três 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 other priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
Mas os sacerdotes eram muito poucos, de modo que não podiam esfolar todos os holocaustos. Por isso seus irmãos, os levitas os ajudaram até o fim da obra e até que os sacerdotes se santificassem, pois os levitas estavam mais retos de coração para se santificarem 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 Yhwh was set in order.
Também as ofertas queimadas estavam em abundância, com a gordura das ofertas de paz e com as ofertas de bebida para cada holocausto. Assim, o serviço da casa de Yahweh foi posto em ordem.
36 And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
Hezekiah e todo o povo se regozijaram por causa daquilo que Deus havia preparado para o povo; pois a coisa foi feita de repente.
