2 Chronicles 29
1 Hezekiah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
E Ezequias começou a reinar sendo de vinte e cinco anos, e reinou vinte e nove anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe foi Abia, filha de Zacarias.
2 He did that which was right in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that David his father had done.
E fez o que era correto aos olhos do SENHOR, conforme a todas as coisas que havia feito Davi seu pai.
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 mês primeiro, abriu as portas da casa do SENHOR, e as reparou.
4 He brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the broad place on the east,
E fez vir os sacerdotes e levitas, e juntou-os na praça oriental.
5 and said to them, "Listen to me, you Levites. Now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of YHWH, the God of your fathers, and carry out the filthiness out of the holy place.
E disse-lhes: Ouvi-me, levitas, e santificai-vos agora, e santificareis a casa do SENHOR o Deus de vossos pais, e tirareis do santuário a imundícia.
6 For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the sight of YHWH our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of YHWH, and turned their backs.
Porque nossos pais se rebelaram, e fizeram o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR nosso Deus; que lhe deixaram, e apartaram seus olhos do tabernáculo do SENHOR, e lhe voltaram 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 to the God of Israel.
E ainda fecharam as portas do pórtico, e apagaram as lâmpadas; não queimaram incenso, nem sacrificaram holocausto no santuário ao Deus de Israel.
8 Therefore the wrath of YHWH was on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has delivered them to be tossed back and forth, to be an astonishment, and a hissing, as you see with your eyes.
Portanto a ira do SENHOR veio sobre Judá e Jerusalém, e os entregou à aflição, ao espanto, e ao escárnio, como vedes vós com vossos olhos.
9 For, look, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.
E eis que nossos pais caíram à espada, nossos filhos e nossas filhas e nossas mulheres estão em cativeiro por isso.
10 Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with YHWH, the God of Israel, that his fierce anger may turn away from us.
Agora, pois, eu determinei fazer aliança com o SENHOR o Deus de Israel, para que afaste de nós a ira de seu furor.
11 My sons, do not be negligent now; for YHWH has chosen you to stand before him, to minister to him, and that you should be his ministers, and burn incense."
Filhos meus, não vos enganeis agora, porque o SENHOR vos escolheu para que estejais diante dele, e lhe sirvais, e sejais seus ministros, e lhe queimeis incenso.
12 Then the Levites arose, Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the descendants 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 os levitas se levantaram, Maate filho de Amasai, e Joel filho de Azarias, dos filhos de Coate; e dos filhos de Merari, Quis filho de Abdi, e Azarias filho de Jealelel; e dos filhos de Gérson, Joá filho de Zima, e Éden filho de Joá;
13 and of the descendants of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; and of the descendants of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;
E dos filhos de Elisafã, Sinri e Jeuel; e dos filhos de Asafe, Zacarias e Matanias;
14 and of the descendants of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; and of the descendants of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.
E dos filhos de Hemã, Jeiel e Simei; e dos filhos de Jedutum, Semaías e Uziel.
15 They gathered their brothers, and sanctified themselves, and went in, according to the commandment of the king by the words of YHWH, to cleanse the house of YHWH.
Estes juntaram a seus irmãos, e santificaram-se, e entraram, conforme ao mandamento do rei e as palavras do SENHOR, para limpar a casa do SENHOR.
16 The priests went in to the inner part of the house of YHWH, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in YHWH's temple into the court of the house of YHWH. The Levites took it, to carry it out abroad to the Kidron Valley.
E entrando os sacerdotes dentro da casa do SENHOR para limpá-la, tiraram toda a imundícia que acharam no templo do SENHOR, ao átrio da casa do SENHOR; a qual tomaram os levitas, para tirá-la fora ao ribeiro de Cedrom.
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; and they sanctified the house of YHWH in eight days: and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
E começaram a santificar o primeiro do mês primeiro, e aos oito do mesmo mês vieram ao pórtico do SENHOR: e santificaram a casa do SENHOR em oito dias, e no dezesseis do mês primeiro acabaram.
18 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king within the palace, and said, "We have cleansed all the house of YHWH, and the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels, and the table of show bread, with all its vessels.
Logo passaram ao rei Ezequias e disseram-lhe: Já limpamos toda a casa do SENHOR, o altar do holocausto, e todos seus instrumentos, e a mesa da proposição com todos seus utensílios.
19 Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign threw away when he trespassed, have we prepared and sanctified; and look, they are before the altar of YHWH."
Assim preparamos e santificamos todos os vasos que em sua transgressão havia descartado o rei Acaz, quando reinava: e eis que estão diante do altar do SENHOR.
20 Then Hezekiah the king arose early and gathered the officials of the city and went up to the house of YHWH.
E levantando-se de manhã o rei Ezequias reuniu os principais da cidade, e subiu à casa do SENHOR.
21 They brought seven bulls, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven male goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom and for the sanctuary and for Judah. He commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of YHWH.
E apresentaram sete novilhos, sete carneiros, sete cordeiros, e sete bodes, para expiação pelo reino, pelo santuário e por Judá. E disse aos sacerdotes filhos de Arão, que os oferecessem sobre o altar do SENHOR.
22 So they killed the bulls, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: and they killed the rams, and sprinkled the blood on the altar: they killed also the lambs, and sprinkled the blood on the altar.
Mataram, pois, os bois, e os sacerdotes tomaram a sangue, e espargiram-na sobre o altar; mataram logo os carneiros, e espargiram o sangue sobre o altar; também mataram os cordeiros, e espargiram o sangue sobre o altar.
23 They brought near the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly; and they laid their hands on them:
Fizeram depois chegar os bodes da expiação diante do rei e da multidão, e puseram sobre eles suas mãos:
24 and the priests killed them, and they made a sin offering with their blood on 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 expiando espargiram o sangue deles sobre o altar, para reconciliar a todo Israel: porque por todo Israel mandou o rei fazer o holocausto e a expiação.
25 He set the Levites in the house of YHWH with cymbals, with stringed instruments, 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 YHWH by his prophets.
Pôs também levitas na casa do SENHOR com címbalos, e saltérios, e harpas, conforme ao mandamento de Davi, e de Gade vidente do rei, e de Natã profeta: porque aquele mandamento foi por mão do SENHOR, por meio de seus profetas.
26 The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
E os levitas estavam com os instrumentos de Davi, e os sacerdotes com trombetas.
27 Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song of YHWH began also, and the trumpets, together with the instruments of David king of Israel.
Então mandou Ezequias sacrificar o holocausto no altar; e ao tempo que começou o holocausto, começou também o cântico do SENHOR, com as trombetas e os instrumentos de Davi rei de Israel.
28 All the assembly worshiped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.
E toda a multidão adorava, e os cantores cantavam, e os trombetas soavam as trombetas; tudo até acabar-se o holocausto.
29 When they had made an end of offering, the king and all who were present with him bowed themselves and worshiped.
E quando acabaram de oferecer, inclinou-se o rei, e todos os que com ele estavam, e adoraram.
30 Moreover Hezekiah the king and the leaders commanded the Levites to sing praises to YHWH with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. They sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshiped.
Então o rei Ezequias e os príncipes disseram aos levitas que louvassem ao SENHOR pelas palavras de Davi e de Asafe vidente: e eles louvaram com grande alegria, e inclinando-se adoraram.
31 Then Hezekiah answered, "Now you have consecrated yourselves to YHWH; come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of YHWH." The assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings.
E respondendo Ezequias disse: Vós vos haveis consagrado agora ao SENHOR; achegai-vos pois, e apresentai sacrifícios e louvores na casa do SENHOR. E a multidão apresentou sacrifícios e louvores; e todo generoso de coração, holocaustos.
32 The number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to YHWH.
E foi o número dos holocaustos que trouxe a congregação, setenta bois, cem carneiros, duzentos cordeiros; tudo para o holocausto do SENHOR.
33 The consecrated things were six hundred head of cattle and three thousand sheep.
E as ofertas foram seiscentos bois, e três mil ovelhas.
34 But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: therefore their brothers the Levites helped them, until 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.
Mas os sacerdotes eram poucos, e não podiam o suficiente a tirar o couro dos holocaustos; e assim seus irmãos os levitas lhes ajudaram até que acabaram a obra, e até que os sacerdotes se santificaram: porque os levitas tiveram maior prontidão de coração para se santificarem que os sacerdotes.
35 Also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and with the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of YHWH was set in order.
Assim, pois, havia grande abundância de holocaustos, com gorduras de ofertas pacíficas, e libações de cada holocausto. E ficou ordenado o serviço da casa do SENHOR.
36 Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, because of that which God had prepared for the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
E alegrou-se Ezequias, e todo o povo, de que Deus houvesse preparado o povo; porque a coisa foi prontamente feita.
