2 Chronicles 29
1 And, Hezekiah, began to reign when he was twenty-five years old, and, twenty-nine years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Abijah, 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 eyes of Yahweh, —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 Yahweh, 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 in the broadway on the east;
Ele trouxe os sacerdotes e os levitas e os reuniu no amplo lugar do leste,
5 and said unto them, Hear me, O Levites! Now, hallow yourselves, and hallow the house of Yahweh, God of your fathers, and take forth the impure thing 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 acted unfaithfully and done the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh our God, and have forsaken him, -and have turned round their faces from the habitation of Yahweh, and have offered 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 Moreover they have shut up the doors of the porch, and have quenched the lamps, and, incense, have they not burned, -and, ascending-sacrifice, have they not caused to go up 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 Thus hath it come to pass, that, the wrath of Yahweh, hath been upon Judah and Jerusalem, —and he hath delivered them up as a terror and as an astonishment and as hissing, even as, ye, can see with your own 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 And 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, is it near my heart, to solemnise a covenant unto Yahweh, God of Israel, —that he may turn from him the glow of his anger.
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! now, do not be faulty, —for, of you, hath Yahweh made choice, to stand before him, and to wait upon him, and to be his attendants and burners of 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 arose the Levites—Mahath son of Amasai, and Joel son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites, and, of the sons of Merari, Kish son of Abdi, and Azariah son of Jehallelel, —and, of the Gershonites, Joah son of Zimmah, and Eden 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 together their brethren, who hallowed themselves, and came in according to the command of the king, in the things of Yahweh, —to purify the house of Yahweh.
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 So the priests entered into the inner part of the house of Yahweh, to make purification, and they brought out every unclean thing which they found in the temple of Yahweh, into the court of the house of Yahweh, —where the Levites received it, to carry it forth to the Kidron ravine outside.
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 And they began, on the first of the first month, to hallow, —and, on the eighth day of the month, they came to the porch of Yahweh, so they hallowed the house of Yahweh in eight days, —and, on the sixteenth day of the first month, they finished.
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 came they in unto Hezekiah the king, and said, We have purified all the house of Yahweh, —the altar of ascending-sacrifice, and all the utensils thereof, and the table for setting in array, and all the utensils 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 And, all the utensils which King Ahaz in his reign rejected when he acted unfaithfully, have we made ready and hallowed, —and, there they are, before the altar of Yahweh.
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 So Hezekiah the king rose up early, and gathered together the rulers of the city, —and went up to the house of Yahweh.
Então o rei Ezequias levantou-se cedo, reuniu os príncipes da cidade e foi até a casa de Yahweh.
21 And they brought in seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven young sheep, and seven he-goats for bearing sin, for the kingdom and for the sanctuary and for Judah, —and he bade the sons of Aaron, the priests, cause them to ascend upon the altar of Yahweh.
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 slaughtered the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and dashed it against the altar, —and they slaughtered the rams, and dashed the blood against the altar, and slaughtered the young sheep, and dashed the blood against 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 near the he-goats for bearing sin, before the king, and the convocation, —and they leaned 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 slaughtered them, and sin-cleansed, with their blood, the altar, to put a propitiatory-covering over all Israel, -because, for all Israel, did the king appoint the ascending-sacrifice and the offering for bearing sin.
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 caused the Levites to stand in the house of Yahweh, with cymbals and with harps and with lyres, by the commandment of David, and of Gad the seer of the king, and of Nathan the prophet, —for, by the hand of Yahweh, came the commandment by the hand of 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 So the Levites took their stand, 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 gave word, to cause the ascending-sacrifice to go up on the altar, —and, when the ascending-sacrifice began, the singing unto Yahweh began, and the trumpets, even under the direction of the instruments of 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 convocation, were bowing themselves in prostration, and, the song, was resounding and the trumpets were blowing, -the whole, until the completing of the ascending-sacrifice.
Toda a assembléia adorou, os cantores cantaram, e os trombeteiros tocaram. Tudo isso continuou até que o holocausto foi terminado.
29 And, when the offering was complete, the king knelt down and all who were present with him, and bowed themselves in prostration.
Quando terminaram de oferecer, o rei e todos os que estavam presentes com ele se curvaram e adoraram.
30 And Hezekiah the king and the rulers gave word to the Levites, to offer praise unto Yahweh, in the words of David, and of Asaph the seer, —so they offered praise right joyfully, and bent their heads and bowed themselves in prostration.
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 responded Hezekiah and said—Now, have ye consecrated yourselves unto Yahweh. Draw near, and bring in sacrifices and thank-offerings unto the house of Yahweh, -So the convocation brought sacrifices and thank-offerings, and, everyone of a willing heart, [brought] ascending-sacrifices.
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 it came to pass that, the number of ascending-sacrifices which the convocation brought, was—seventy bullocks, and a hundred rams, and two hundred young sheep, —as an ascending-sacrifice unto Yahweh, all these.
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 But, the hallowed beasts, were six hundred bullocks, and three thousand sheep.
As coisas consagradas eram seiscentas cabeças de gado e três mil ovelhas.
34 Only, the priests, were too few, and were unable to flay all the ascending-sacrifices, —so their brethren the Levites strengthened them, until the work was complete and until the priests had hallowed themselves, for, the Levites, were more upright in heart to hallow 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 Moreover also, the ascending-sacrifices, were in abundance, with the fat portions of the peace-offerings, and with the drink-offerings to every ascending-sacrifice, -thus was established the service of the house of Yahweh.
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, because God had established it for the people, —for, suddenly, had the thing come about.
Hezekiah e todo o povo se regozijaram por causa daquilo que Deus havia preparado para o povo; pois a coisa foi feita de repente.
