2 Chronicles 31
1 Now when all this was finished, all the people of Israel who were there went out to the cities of Judah and broke to pieces the stone pillars and they cut down the Asherah poles, and they broke down the high places and the altars in all of Judah and Benjamin, and in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the people of Israel returned, every one to his own possession and his own city.
E acabando tudo isto, todos os israelitas que ali se acharam sairam ás cidades de Judah e quebraram as estatuas cortaram os bosques, e derribaram os altos e altares por toda Judah e Benjamin, como tambem em Ephraim e Manasseh, até que tudo destruiram: então tornaram todos os filhos de Israel, cada um para sua possessão, para as cidades d'elles.
2 Hezekiah assigned the divisions of the priests and the Levites organized by their divisions, each man assigned to his work, both the priests and the Levites. He assigned them to make the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, to serve, to give thanks, and to praise at the gates of Yahweh's temple.
E estabeleceu Ezequias as turmas dos sacerdotes e levitas, segundo as suas turmas, a cada um segundo o seu ministerio; aos sacerdotes e levitas para o holocausto e para as offertas pacificas; para ministrarem, e louvarem, e cantarem, ás portas dos arraiaes do Senhor.
3 He also assigned the king's portion for the burnt offerings from his own possessions, that is, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the Sabbath days, the new moons, and the fixed festivals, as it was written in the law of Yahweh.
Tambem estabeleceu a parte da fazenda do rei para os holocaustos; para os holocaustos da manhã e da tarde, e para os holocaustos dos sabbados, e das luas novas, e das solemnidades: como está escripto na lei do Senhor.
4 Moreover, he commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion for the priests and the Levites, so that they might concentrate on obeying the law of Yahweh.
E ordenou ao povo, aos moradores de Jerusalem, que dessem a parte dos sacerdotes e levitas; para que se podessem esforçar na lei do Senhor.
5 As soon as the command was sent out, the people of Israel generously gave the firstfruits of grain, new wine, oil, honey, and from all their harvest of the field. They brought in a tithe of everything, which was a great quantity.
E, depois que este dito se divulgou, os filhos de Israel trouxeram muitas primicias de trigo, mosto, e azeite, e mel, e de toda a novidade do campo: tambem os dizimos de tudo trouxeram em abundancia.
6 The people of Israel and Judah who lived in the cities of Judah also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep, and the tithe of the holy things that were set apart to Yahweh their God, and they piled them up in heaps.
E aos filhos de Israel e de Judah, que habitavam na cidade de Judah tambem trouxeram dizimos das vaccas e das ovelhas, e dizimos das coisas sagradas que foram consagradas ao Senhor seu Deus: e fizeram muitos montões.
7 It was in the third month when they began piling up their contribution in heaps, and they finished in the seventh month.
No terceiro mez começaram a fazer os primeiros montões: e no setimo mez acabaram.
8 When Hezekiah and the leaders came and saw the heaps, they blessed Yahweh and his people Israel.
Vindo pois Ezequias e os principes, e vendo aquelles montões, bemdisseram ao Senhor e ao seu povo Israel.
9 Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites about the heaps.
E perguntou Ezequias aos sacerdotes e aos levitas ácerca d'aquelles montões.
10 Azariah, the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, “Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of Yahweh, we have eaten and had enough, and have plenty left over, for Yahweh has blessed his people. What was left over is this large amount here.”
E Azarias, o summo sacerdote da casa de Zadok, lhe fallou, dizendo: Desde que esta offerta se começou a trazer á casa do Senhor, houve que comer e de que se fartar, e ainda sobejo em abundancia; porque o Senhor bemdisse ao seu povo, e sobejou esta abastança.
11 Then Hezekiah commanded storerooms to be prepared in the house of Yahweh, and they prepared them.
Então disse Ezequias que se preparassem camaras na casa do Senhor, e as prepararam.
12 Then they faithfully brought in the offerings, the tithes and the things that belonged to Yahweh. Konaniah the Levite was the manager in charge of them, and his brother Shimei was second to him.
Ali metteram fielmente as offertas, e os dizimos, e as coisas consagradas: e tinha cargo d'isto Conanias, o levita maioral, e Simei, seu irmão, o segundo.
13 Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismakiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were managers under the hand of Konaniah and Shimei his brother, by appointment of Hezekiah, the king, and Azariah, the official over the house of God.
E Jehiel, e Azarias, e Nahath, e Asahel, e Jerimoth, e Jozabad, e Eliel, e Ismachias, e Mahath, e Benaias, eram superintendentes debaixo da mão de Conanias e Simei seu irmão, por mandado do rei Ezequias, e de Azarias, maioral da casa de Deus.
14 Kore son of Imnah the Levite, the porter at the east gate, was over the free will offerings of God, in charge of distributing the offerings to Yahweh and the most holy offerings.
E Kore filho de Jimna, o levita, porteiro da banda do oriente, tinha cargo das offertas voluntarias de Deus, para distribuir as offertas alçadas do Senhor e as coisas sanctissimas.
15 Under him were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests. They filled offices of trust, in order to give these offerings to their brothers division by division, to both the important and the unimportant.
E debaixo das suas ordens estavam Eden, e Miniamin, e Jesua, e Semaias, Amorias, e Sechanias nas cidades dos sacerdotes, para distribuirem com fidelidade a seus irmãos, segundo as suas turmas, tanto aos pequenos como aos grandes;
16 They also gave to those males three years old and up, who were listed in the records of their ancestors who entered the house of Yahweh, as required by the daily schedule, to do the work in their offices and their divisions.
Além dos que estavam contados pelas genealogias dos machos, da edade de tres annos e d'ahi para cima; a todos os que entravam na casa do Senhor, para a obra de cada dia no seu dia, pelo seu ministerio nas suas guardas, segundo as suas turmas.
17 They distributed to the priests according to the records of their ancestors, and the same to the Levites twenty years old and more, according to their offices and their divisions.
E os que estavam contados pelas genealogias dos sacerdotes, segundo a casa de seus paes; como tambem os levitas, da edade de vinte annos e d'ahi para cima, nas suas guardas, segundo as suas turmas:
18 They included all their little ones, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, through the whole community, for they were faithful in keeping themselves holy.
Como tambem conforme ás genealogias, com todas as suas creanças, suas mulheres, e seus filhos, e suas filhas, por toda a congregação: porque com fidelidade estes se sanctificavam nas coisas consagradas.
19 For the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who were in the fields of the villages belonging to their cities, or in every city, there were men assigned by name to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all who were listed in the records of their ancestors as being among the Levites.
Tambem d'entre os filhos d'Aarão havia sacerdotes nos campos dos arrabaldes das suas cidades, em cada cidade, homens que foram contados pelos seus nomes para distribuirem as porções a todo o macho entre os sacerdotes e a todos os que estavam contados pelas genealogias entre os levitas.
20 Hezekiah did this throughout all Judah. He accomplished what was good, right, and faithful before Yahweh, his God.
E assim fez Ezequias em todo o Judah: e fez o que era bom, e recto, e verdadeiro, perante o Senhor seu Deus.
21 In every project that he began in the service of the house of God, the law, and the commandments, to seek his God, he performed it with all his heart, and he succeeded.
E em toda a obra que começou no serviço da casa de Deus, e na lei, e nos mandamentos, para buscar a seu Deus, com todo o seu coração o fez, e prosperou.
