2 Crônicas 29

1 Tinha Ezequias vinte e cinco annos de edade, quando começou a reinar e reinou vinte e nove annos em Jerusalem: e era o nome de sua mãe Abia, filha de Zacharias.

Hezekiah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.

2 E fez o que era recto aos olhos do Senhor, conforme a tudo quanto fizera David seu pae.

And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father David had done.

3 Este, no anno primeiro do seu reinado, no mez primeiro, abriu as portas da casa do Senhor, e as reparou.

In the first month of the first year of his reign, Hezekiah opened and repaired the doors of the house of the LORD.

4 E trouxe os sacerdotes, e os levitas, e os ajuntou na praça oriental,

Then he brought in the priests and Levites and gathered them in the square on the east side.

5 E lhes disse: Ouvi-me, ó levitas, sanctificae-vos agora, e sanctificae a casa do Senhor, Deus de vossos paes, e tirae do sanctuario a immundicia.

“Listen to me, O Levites,” he said. “Consecrate yourselves now and consecrate the house of the LORD, the God of your fathers. Remove from the Holy Place every impurity.

6 Porque nossos paes transgrediram, e fizeram o que era mal aos olhos do Senhor nosso Deus, e o deixaram; e desviaram os seus rostos do tabernaculo do Senhor, e lhe deram as costas.

For our fathers were unfaithful and did evil in the sight of the LORD our God. They abandoned Him, turned their faces away from the dwelling place of the LORD, and turned their backs on Him.

7 Tambem fecharam as portas do alpendre, e apagaram as lampadas, e não queimaram incenso nem offereceram holocaustos no sanctuario, ao Deus de Israel.

They also shut the doors of the portico and extinguished the lamps. They did not burn incense or present burnt offerings in the Holy Place of the God of Israel.

8 Pelo que veiu grande ira do Senhor sobre Judah e Jerusalem, e os entregou á perturbação, á assolação, e ao assobio, como vós o estaes vendo com os vossos olhos.

Therefore, the wrath of the LORD has fallen upon Judah and Jerusalem, and He has made them an object of terror, horror, and mockery, as you can see with your own eyes.

9 Porque eis que nossos paes cairam á espada, e nossos filhos, e nossas filhas, e nossas mulheres por isso estiveram em captiveiro.

For behold, this is why our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and daughters and wives are in captivity.

10 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

Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with the LORD, the God of Israel, so that His fierce anger will turn away from us.

11 Agora, filhos meus, não sejaes negligentes; pois o Senhor vos tem escolhido para estardes diante d'elle para o servirdes, e para serdes seus ministros e queimadores de incenso.

Now, my sons, do not be negligent, for the LORD has chosen you to stand before Him, to serve Him, to minister before Him, and to burn incense.”

12 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 Eden filho de Joah;

Then the Levites set to work: Mahath son of Amasai and Joel son of Azariah from the Kohathites; Kish son of Abdi and Azariah son of Jehallelel from the Merarites; Joah son of Zimmah and Eden son of Joah from the Gershonites;

13 E d'entre os filhos de Elisaphan, Simri e Jeiel: d'entre os filhos d'Asaph, Zacharias e Matthanias:

Shimri and Jeuel from the Elizaphanites; Zechariah and Mattaniah from the Asaphites;

14 E d'entre os filhos d'Heman, Jehiel e Simei: e d'entre os filhos de Jeduthun, Semaias e Uziel.

Jehiel and Shimei from the Hemanites; and Shemaiah and Uzziel from the Jeduthunites.

15 E ajuntaram a seus irmãos, e sanctificaram-se e vieram conforme ao mandado do rei, pelas palavras do Senhor, para purificarem a casa do Senhor.

When they had assembled their brothers and consecrated themselves, they went in to cleanse the house of the LORD, according to the command of the king by the words of the LORD.

16 E os sacerdotes entraram dentro da casa do Senhor, para a purificar, e tiraram para fóra, ao pateo da casa do Senhor, toda a immundicia que acharam no templo do Senhor: e os levitas a tomaram, para a levarem para fóra, ao ribeiro de Cedron.

So the priests went inside the house of the LORD to cleanse it, and they brought out to the courtyard all the unclean things that they found in the temple of the LORD. Then the Levites took these things and carried them out to the Kidron Valley.

17 Começaram pois a sanctificar ao primeiro do mez primeiro: e ao oitavo dia do mez vieram ao alpendre do Senhor, e sanctificaram a casa do Senhor em oito dias: e no dia decimo sexto do primeiro mez acabaram.

They began the consecration on the first day of the first month, and on the eighth day of the month they reached the portico of the LORD. For eight more days they consecrated the house of the LORD itself, finishing on the sixteenth day of the first month.

18 Então entraram para dentro, ao rei Ezequias, e disseram: Já purificámos toda a casa do Senhor, como tambem o altar do holocausto com todos os seus vasos e a mesa da proposição com todos os seus vasos.

Then they went in to King Hezekiah and reported, “We have cleansed the entire house of the LORD, the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the table of the showbread with all its utensils.

19 Tambem todos os vasos que o rei Achaz no seu reinado lançou fóra, na sua transgressão, já preparámos e sanctificámos: e eis que estão diante do altar do Senhor

Moreover, we have prepared and consecrated all the articles that King Ahaz in his unfaithfulness cast aside during his reign. They are now in front of the altar of the LORD.”

20 Então o rei Ezequias se levantou de madrugada, e ajuntou os maioraes da cidade, e subiu á casa do Senhor.

Early the next morning King Hezekiah gathered the city officials and went up to the house of the LORD.

21 E trouxeram sete novilhos e sete carneiros, e sete cordeiros, e sete bodes, para sacrificio pelo peccado, pelo reino, e pelo sanctuario, e por Judah, e disse aos filhos de Aarão, os sacerdotes, que os offerecessem sobre o altar do Senhor.

They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats as a sin offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And the king commanded the priests, the descendants of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the LORD.

22 E elles mataram os bois, e os sacerdotes tomaram o sangue e o espargiram sobre o altar: tambem mataram os carneiros, e espargiram o sangue sobre o altar: similhantemente mataram os cordeiros, e espargiram o sangue sobre o altar.

So they slaughtered the bulls, and the priests took the blood and sprinkled it on the altar. They slaughtered the rams and sprinkled the blood on the altar. And they slaughtered the lambs and sprinkled the blood on the altar.

23 Então trouxeram os bodes para sacrificio pelo peccado, perante o rei e a congregação, e lhes impozeram as suas mãos.

Then they brought the goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly, who laid their hands on them.

24 E os sacerdotes os mataram, e com o seu sangue fizeram expiação do peccado sobre o altar, para reconciliar a todo o Israel: porque o rei tinha ordenado que se fizesse aquelle holocausto e sacrificio pelo peccado, por todo o Israel.

And the priests slaughtered the goats and put their blood on the altar for a sin offering, to make atonement for all Israel, because the king had ordered the burnt offering and the sin offering for all Israel.

25 E poz os levitas na casa do Senhor com cymbalos, com alaudes, e com harpas, conforme ao mandado de David e de Gad, o vidente do rei, e do propheta Nathan: porque este mandado veiu do Senhor, por mão de seus prophetas.

Hezekiah stationed the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, harps, and lyres according to the command of David, of Gad the king’s seer, and of Nathan the prophet. For the command had come from the LORD through His prophets.

26 Estavam pois os levitas em pé com os instrumentos de David, e os sacerdotes com as trombetas.

The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

27 E deu ordem Ezequias que offerecessem o holocausto sobre o altar, e ao tempo em que começou o holocausto, começou tambem o canto do Senhor, com as trombetas e com os instrumentos de David, rei de Israel.

And Hezekiah ordered that the burnt offering be sacrificed on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD and the trumpets began as well, accompanied by the instruments of David king of Israel.

28 E toda a congregação se prostrou, quando cantavam o canto, e as trombetas se tocavam: tudo isto até o holocausto se acabar.

The whole assembly was worshiping, the singers were singing, and the trumpeters were playing. All this continued until the burnt offering was completed.

29 E acabando de o offerecer, o rei e todos quantos com elle se acharam se prostraram e adoraram.

When the offerings were completed, the king and all those present with him bowed down and worshiped.

30 Então disse o rei Ezequias, e os maioraes, 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.

Then King Hezekiah and his officials ordered the Levites to sing praises to the LORD in the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with gladness and bowed their heads and worshiped.

31 E respondeu Ezequias, e disse: Agora vos consagrastes a vós mesmos ao Senhor; chegae-vos e trazei sacrificios e offertas de louvor á casa do Senhor. E a congregação trouxe sacrificios e offertas de louvor, e todo o voluntario de coração, holocaustos.

Then Hezekiah said, “Now that you have consecrated yourselves to the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings to the house of the LORD.” So the assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings, and all whose hearts were willing brought burnt offerings.

32 E o numero dos holocaustos, que a congregação trouxe, foi de setenta bois, cem carneiros, duzentos cordeiros: tudo isto em holocausto para o Senhor.

The number of burnt offerings the assembly brought was seventy bulls, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs; all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.

33 Houve, tambem de coisas consagradas, seiscentos bois e tres mil ovelhas.

And the consecrated offerings were six hundred bulls and three thousand sheep.

34 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 sanctificaram; porque os levitas foram mais rectos de coração, para se sanctificarem, do que os sacerdotes.

However, since there were not enough priests to skin all the burnt offerings, their Levite brothers helped them until the work was finished and until the priests had been consecrated. For the Levites had been more diligent in consecrating themselves than the priests had been.

35 E houve tambem holocaustos em abundancia, com a gordura das offertas pacificas, e com as offertas de licor para os holocaustos. Assim se estabeleceu o ministerio da casa do Senhor.

Furthermore, the burnt offerings were abundant, along with the fat of the peace offerings and the drink offerings for the burnt offerings. So the service of the house of the LORD was established.

36 E Ezequias, e todo o povo se alegraram, de que Deus tinha preparado o povo; porque apressuradamente se fez esta obra.

Then Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced at what God had prepared for the people, because everything had been accomplished so quickly.
