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 anos de idade, quando começou a reinar e reinou vinte e nove anos em Jerusalém: e era o nome de sua mãe Abia, filha de Zacarias.
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.
E fez o que era reto aos olhos do Senhor, conforme a tudo quanto fizera David seu pai.
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 ano primeiro do seu reinado, no mês 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 east street,
E trouxe os sacerdotes, e os levitas, e os ajuntou na praça oriental,
5 And said unto them, Hear me, all of you Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.
E lhes disse: Ouvi-me, ó levitas, santificai-vos agora, e santificai a casa do Senhor, Deus de vossos pais, e tirai do santuário a imundícia.
6 For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes 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 pais transgrediram, e fizeram o que era mal aos olhos do Senhor nosso Deus, e o deixaram; e desviaram os seus rostos do tabernáculo 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.
Também fecharam as portas do alpendre, e apagaram as lâmpadas, e não queimaram incenso nem ofereceram holocaustos no santuário, ao Deus de Israel.
8 Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he has delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as all of you see with your eyes.
Pelo que veio grande ira do Senhor sobre Judá e Jerusalém, e os entregou à perturbação, à assolação, e ao assobio, como vós o estais 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 pais cairam à espada, e nossos filhos, e nossas filhas, e nossas mulheres por isso estiveram em cativeiro.
10 Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the LORD God of Israel, that his fierce wrath 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 has chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that all of you should minister unto him, and burn incense.
Agora, filhos meus, não sejais negligentes; pois o Senhor vos tem escolhido para estardes diante dele 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 Jehalelel: 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 Éden filho de Joah;
13 And of the sons of Elizaphan; Shimri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zechariah, and Mattaniah:
E dentre os filhos de Elisaphan, Simri e Jeiel: dentre os filhos d'Asaph, Zacarias e Matthanias:
14 And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shimei: and of the sons of Jeduthun; Shemaiah, and Uzziel.
E dentre os filhos d'Heman, Jehiel e Simei: e dentre os filhos de Jeduthun, Semaias e Uziel.
15 And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, 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 santificaram-se e vieram conforme ao mandado do rei, pelas palavras do Senhor, para purificarem a casa do Senhor.
16 And the priests went into 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 into the brook Kidron.
E os sacerdotes entraram dentro da casa do Senhor, para a purificar, e tiraram para fora, ao pátio da casa do Senhor, toda a imundícia que acharam no templo do Senhor: e os levitas a tomaram, para a levarem para fora, 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: so they sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
Começaram pois a santificar ao primeiro do mês primeiro: e ao oitavo dia do mês vieram ao alpendre do Senhor, e santificaram a casa do Senhor em oito dias: e no dia décimo sexto do primeiro mês acabaram.
18 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the showbread table, with all the vessels thereof.
Então entraram para dentro, ao rei Ezequias, e disseram: Já purificamos toda a casa do Senhor, como também 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 in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before the altar of the LORD.
Também todos os vasos que o rei Achaz no seu reinado lançou fora, na sua transgressão, já preparamos e santificamos: e eis que estão diante do altar do Senhor
20 Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD.
Então o rei Ezequias se levantou de madrugada, e ajuntou os maiorais da cidade, e subiu à 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 sacrifício pelo pecado, pelo reino, e pelo santuário, e por Judá, e disse aos filhos de Aarão, os sacerdotes, que os oferecessem sobre o altar do Senhor.
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.
E eles mataram os bois, e os sacerdotes tomaram o sangue e o espargiram sobre o altar: também mataram os carneiros, e espargiram o sangue sobre o altar: semelhantemente mataram os cordeiros, e espargiram 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:
Então trouxeram os bodes para sacrifício pelo pecado, perante o rei e a congregação, e lhes impuzeram as suas mãos.
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.
E os sacerdotes os mataram, e com o seu sangue fizeram expiação do pecado sobre o altar, para reconciliar a todo o Israel: porque o rei tinha ordenado que se fizesse aquele holocausto e sacrifício pelo pecado, 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 so was the commandment of the LORD by his prophets.
E pôs os levitas na casa do Senhor com címbalos, com alaúdes, e com harpas, conforme ao mandado de David e de Gad, o vidente do rei, e do profeta Nathan: porque este mandado veio do Senhor, por mão de seus profetas.
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 with the trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by David king of Israel.
E deu ordem Ezequias que oferecessem o holocausto sobre o altar, e ao tempo em que começou o holocausto, começou também o canto do Senhor, com as trombetas e com os instrumentos de David, 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.
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 worshipped.
E acabando de o oferecer, o rei e todos quantos com ele se acharam se prostraram e adoraram.
30 Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise 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 worshipped.
Então disse o rei Ezequias, e os maiorais, 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 all of you 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 free heart burnt offerings.
E respondeu Ezequias, e disse: Agora vos consagrastes a vós mesmos ao Senhor; chegai-vos e trazei sacrifícios e ofertas de louvor à casa do Senhor. E a congregação trouxe sacrifícios e ofertas de louvor, e todo o voluntário de coração, holocaustos.
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 the LORD.
E o número 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, também de coisas consagradas, seiscentos bois 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.
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 santificaram; porque os levitas foram 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 the LORD was set in order.
E houve também holocaustos em abundância, com a gordura das ofertas pacíficas, e com as ofertas de licor para os holocaustos. Assim se estabeleceu o ministério da casa do Senhor.
36 And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared 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.
