Ezra 8
1 This is a list of the names of the leaders of the clans who came with me up [to Jerusalem] from Babylonia when Artaxerxes was the king [of Persia]:
Now estes são os chefes de família de seus pais, e esta é a genealogia daqueles que subiram comigo da Babilônia, no reinado de Artaxerxes, o rei:
2 Gershom, from the clan descended from [Aaron’s grandson] Phinehas Daniel, from the clan descended from [Aaron’s son] Ithamar Hattush, the son of Shecaniah, from the clan descended from King David
Dos filhos de Phinehas, Gershom. Dos filhos de Ithamar, Daniel. Dos filhos de David, Hattush.
3 Zechariah and 150 [other] men from the clan descended from Parosh
Dos filhos de Shecaniah, dos filhos de Parosh, Zacarias; e com ele foram listados por genealogia dos homens cento e cinqüenta.
4 Eliehoenai the son of Zerahiah and 200 other men from the clan descended from Pahath-Moab
Dos filhos de Pahathmoab, Eliehoenai o filho de Zerahiah; e com ele duzentos homens.
5 Shecaniah the son of Jahaziel and 300 other men from the clan descended from Zattu
Dos filhos de Shecaniah, o filho de Jahaziel; e com ele trezentos homens.
6 Ebed the son of Jonathan and 50 other men from the clan descended from Adin
Dos filhos de Adin, Ebed o filho de Jonathan; e com ele cinqüenta homens.
7 Jeshaiah the son of Athaliah and 70 other men from the clan descended from Elam
Dos filhos de Elão, Jesaías o filho de Atalia; e com ele setenta homens.
8 Zebadiah the son of Michael and 80 other men from the clan descended from Shephatiah
Dos filhos de Shephatiah, Zebadiah o filho de Michael; e com ele oitenta homens.
9 Obadiah the son of Jehiel and 218 other men from the clan descended from Joab
Dos filhos de Joab, Obadiah o filho de Jehiel; e com ele duzentos e dezoito homens.
10 Shelomith the son of Josiphiah and 160 other men from the clan descended from Bani
Dos filhos de Shelomith, o filho de Josiphiah; e com ele cento e sessenta homens.
11 Zechariah the son of Bebai and 28 other men from the clan descended from [another man whose name was] Bebai
Dos filhos de Bebai, Zacarias o filho de Bebai; e com ele vinte e oito homens.
12 Johanan the son of Hakkatan and 110 other men from the clan descended from Azgad
Dos filhos de Azgad, Johanan o filho de Hakkatan; e com ele cento e dez homens.
13 Also Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah, who returned [here] later with 60 men from the clan descended from Adonikam
Dos filhos de Adonikam, que foram os últimos, seus nomes são: Eliphelet, Jeuel e Semaías; e com eles sessenta homens.
14 And Uthai and Zaccur and 70 other men from the clan descended from Bigvai.
Dos filhos de Bigvai, Uthai e Zabbud; e com eles setenta homens.
15 I gathered all of them together at the canal that goes [from Babylon] to Ahava [town]. We set up our tents there and stayed there for three days. [During that time] I checked the lists of names and found out that there were priests [going with us], but no [other] descendants of Levi [who could help them in the temple].
Eu os reuni no rio que corre para o Ahava; e lá ficamos acampados três dias. Depois olhei em volta para o povo e para os sacerdotes, e descobri que não havia nenhum dos filhos de Levi.
16 So I summoned Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, two men whose names were Elnathan, and Jarib, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, who were all leaders [of the people]. I also summoned Joiarib and another Elnathan, who were wise.
Então mandei buscar Eliezer, Ariel, Semaías, Elnatã, Jaribe, Elnatã, Nathan, Zacarias e Meshullam, chefes; também Joiaribe e Elnatã, que eram professores.
17 I sent them all to Iddo, the leader of the descendants of Levi, who was living in Casiphia [town], to request that he and his relatives and other men who had worked in the temple send to us some men who would [go/come with us to] work in God’s new temple [in Jerusalem].
Enviei-os à Iddo, o chefe do lugar Casiphia; e lhes disse o que deveriam dizer à Iddo e seus irmãos, os servos do templo no lugar Casiphia, que deveriam trazer-nos ministros para a casa de nosso Deus.
18 Because God was kind to us, they brought to us a man named Sherebiah and 18 of his sons and other relatives. Sherebiah was a very wise man, a descendant of Mahli, [who was a grandson] of Levi.
De acordo com a boa mão do nosso Deus sobre nós, eles nos trouxeram um homem de discrição, dos filhos de Mali, filho de Levi, filho de Israel, ou seja, Serebias, com seus filhos e seus irmãos, dezoito;
19 They also sent to us Hashabiah, along with Jeshaiah, descendants of [Levi’s son] Merari, and 20 of their relatives.
e Hasabias, e com ele Jesaías dos filhos de Merari, seus irmãos e seus filhos, vinte;
20 They also sent 220 other men to work in the temple. Those men’s ancestors had been appointed by King David to assist the descendants of Levi [who helped the priests in the temple]. I listed/wrote the names of all those men.
e dos servos do templo, que Davi e os príncipes tinham dado para o serviço dos levitas, duzentos e vinte servos do templo. Todos eles foram mencionados pelo nome.
21 There alongside the Ahava Canal, I told them that we all would (fast/abstain from eating food) and pray. I also told them that we should humble ourselves in the presence of our God. We prayed that God would protect us while we traveled, and also protect our children and our possessions/belongings.
Então proclamei um jejum lá no rio Ahava, para que nos humilhássemos diante de nosso Deus, para buscar dele um caminho reto para nós, para nossos pequenos e para todos os nossos bens.
22 Previously we had told the king that our God takes care of all those who truly trust in him, but that he becomes very angry with those who refuse to obey him. So I would have been ashamed if I had asked the king to send soldiers and men riding on horses to protect us from our enemies while we were traveling along the road.
Pois tive vergonha de pedir ao rei um bando de soldados e cavaleiros para nos ajudar contra o inimigo no caminho, porque tínhamos falado com o rei, dizendo: “A mão de nosso Deus está sobre todos aqueles que o buscam, para o bem; mas seu poder e sua ira estão contra todos aqueles que o abandonam”.
23 So we (fasted/abstained from eating food) and requested God to protect us, and he (answered our prayers/did what we requested.)
Portanto, jejuamos e imploramos a nosso Deus por isso, e ele atendeu nosso pedido.
24 I chose twelve of the leaders of the priests, Sherebiah and Hashabiah and ten of their relatives.
Então separei doze dos chefes dos sacerdotes, até mesmo Serebias, Hasabias e dez de seus irmãos com eles,
25 I appointed them to supervise carrying to Jerusalem the gifts of silver and gold and the other valuable items that the king and his advisors and other officials, and the Israeli people [who were living in Babylonia], had contributed for the temple of our God.
e pesei-lhes a prata, o ouro e os vasos, até mesmo a oferta pela casa de nosso Deus, que o rei, seus conselheiros, seus príncipes e todo o Israel ali presente, haviam oferecido.
26 As I gave these various items to those priests, I weighed each of the items. This was the total: 25 tons of silver, 100 items made from silver that altogether weighed 7,500 pounds, (7,500 pounds/3,400 kg.) of gold,
pesei na mão deles seiscentos e cinqüenta talentos de prata, cem talentos de vasos de prata, cem talentos de ouro,
27 20 gold bowls that altogether weighed (19 pounds/8.6 kg.), and two items made of polished bronze that were as valuable as ones made of gold.
vinte taças de ouro pesando mil dracmas, e dois vasos de bronze fino e brilhante, preciosos como o ouro.
28 I said to those priests, “You belong to Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors (worshiped/also belonged to), and these valuable things also belong to him. The people themselves gave these things to be offerings to Yahweh (voluntarily/because they wanted to).
Eu lhes disse: “Vocês são santos para Yahweh, e os vasos são santos. A prata e o ouro são uma oferta de livre vontade a Iavé, o Deus de seus pais”.
29 So guard them carefully, and [when we arrive] in Jerusalem, weigh them in the presence of the priests, the descendants of Levi [who will help the priests], and the other Israeli leaders there. They will then put them in the storerooms in the new temple.”
Vigie-os e guarde-os até pesá-los diante dos chefes dos sacerdotes, dos levitas e dos príncipes das casas dos pais de Israel em Jerusalém, nos quartos da casa de Iavé”.
30 So the priests and [other] descendants of Levi took from me all the gifts of silver and gold and the other valuable items, in order to carry them to the temple in Jerusalem.
Assim, os sacerdotes e os levitas receberam o peso da prata, do ouro e dos vasos, para levá-los a Jerusalém para a casa de nosso Deus.
31 On April 19, we left the Ahava Canal and started to travel to Jerusalem. Our God took care of us, and while we traveled, he prevented our enemies and bandits from (ambushing us/suddenly attacking us).
Então partimos do rio Ahava no décimo segundo dia do primeiro mês, para ir a Jerusalém. A mão de nosso Deus estava sobre nós, e ele nos livrou da mão do inimigo e dos bandidos, a propósito.
32 After we arrived in Jerusalem, we rested for three days.
Viemos a Jerusalém, e lá ficamos três dias.
33 Then on the fourth/next day we went to the temple. There the silver and gold and the other items were weighed and given to the priest Meremoth, the son of Uriah. Eleazar the son of Phinehas and two descendants of Levi, Jozabad the son of Jeshua and Noadiah the son of Binnui, were with him.
No quarto dia a prata, o ouro e os vasos foram pesados na casa de nosso Deus na mão de Meremoth, filho de Uriah, o sacerdote; e com ele Eleazar, filho de Finéias; e com eles Jozabad, filho de Jeshua, e Noadiah, filho de Binnui, os levitas.
34 They counted everything, and wrote down how much they weighed, and wrote [a description of] each item.
Tudo foi contado e pesado; e todo o peso foi escrito naquela época.
35 We who had returned from Babylonia offered to God sacrifices on the altar. We offered twelve bulls for all us Israeli people. We also offered 96 rams and 27 lambs. We also sacrificed twelve goats [to atone] for the sins that all the people had committed. These were all completely burned on the altar.
As crianças do cativeiro, que haviam saído do exílio, ofereceram holocaustos ao Deus de Israel: doze touros para todo Israel, noventa e seis carneiros, setenta e sete cordeiros e doze bodes para uma oferta pelo pecado. Tudo isso era um holocausto para Iavé.
36 Some of us who returned [from Babylonia] took to the governors and other officials of the province west of the [Euphrates] River the letter that the king had given to us. [After they read the letter, ] they did all [that they were able to do] for us Israeli people and for the temple of God.
Eles entregaram as comissões do rei para os governadores locais do rei e para os governadores além do rio. Então eles apoiaram o povo e a casa de Deus.
