2 Crônicas 34
1 Tinha Josias oito annos quando começou a reinar, e trinta e um annos reinou em Jerusalem.
Josias was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
2 E fez o que era recto aos olhos do Senhor: e andou nos caminhos de David, seu pae, sem se desviar d'elles nem para a direita nem para a esquerda.
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father David, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.
3 Porque no oitavo anno do seu reinado, sendo ainda moço, começou a buscar o Deus de David, seu pae; e no duodecimo anno começou a purificar a Judah e a Jerusalem, dos altos, e dos bosques, e das imagens d'esculptura e de fundição.
And in the eighth year of his reign, and he [being] yet a youth, he began to seek the Lord God of his father David: and in the twelfth year of his reign he began to purge Juda and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the ornaments for the altars, and the molten images.
4 E derribaram perante elle os altares de Baalim; e cortou as imagens do sol, que estavam acima d'elles: e os bosques, e as imagens d'esculptura e de fundição quebrou e reduziu a pó, e o espargiu sobre as sepulturas dos que lhes tinham sacrificado.
And he pulled down the altars of Baalim that were before his face, and the high places that were above them; and he cut down the groves, and the graven images, and broke in pieces the molten images, and reduced them to powder, and cast [it] upon the surface of the tombs of those who [had] sacrificed to them.
5 E os ossos dos sacerdotes queimou sobre os seus altares: e purificou a Judah e a Jerusalem.
And he burnt the bones of the priests upon the altars, and purged Juda and Jerusalem.
6 O mesmo fez nas cidades de Manasseh, e d'Ephraim, e de Simeão, e ainda até Naphtali; em seus logares ao redor, assolados.
And [he did so] in the cities of Manasse, and Ephraim, and Symeon, and Nephthali, and the places round about them.
7 E, tendo derribado os altares, e os bosques, e as imagens de esculptura, até reduzil-os a pó, e tendo cortado todas as imagens do sol em toda a terra d'Israel, então voltou para Jerusalem.
And he pulled down the altars and the groves, and he cut the idols in small pieces, and cut off all the high places from all the land of Israel, and returned to Jerusalem.
8 E no anno decimo oitavo do seu reinado, havendo já purificado a terra e a casa, enviou a Saphan, filho d'Asalias, e a Maaseias, maioral da cidade, e a Joah, filho de Joachaz, registrador, para repararem a casa do Senhor, seu Deus.
And in the eighteenth year of his reign, after having cleansed the land, and the house, he sent Saphan the son of Ezelias, and Maasa prefect of the city, and Juach son of Joachaz his recorder, to repair the house of the Lord his God.
9 E vieram a Hilkias, summo sacerdote, e deram o dinheiro que se tinha trazido á casa do Senhor, e que os levitas que guardavam o umbral tinham colligido da mão de Manasseh, e d'Ephraim, e de todo o resto de Israel, como tambem de todo o Judah e Benjamin: e voltaram para Jerusalem.
And they came to Chelcias the high priest, and gave the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites who kept the gate collected of the hand of Manasse and Ephraim, and of the princes, and of every one that was left in Israel, and of the children of Juda and Benjamin, and of the dwellers in Jerusalem.
10 E o deram na mão dos que tinham cargo da obra, e superintendiam sobre a casa do Senhor: e estes o deram aos que faziam a obra, e trabalhavam na casa do Senhor, para concertarem e repararem a casa.
And they gave it into the hand of the workmen, who were appointed in the house of the Lord, and they gave it to the workmen who wrought in the house of the Lord, to repair and strengthen the house.
11 E o deram aos mestres da obra, e aos edificadores, para comprarem pedras lavradas, e madeira para as junturas: e para sobradarem as casas que os reis de Judah tinham destruido.
They gave [it] also to the carpenters and builders, to buy squared stones, and timber for beams to cover the houses which the kings of Juda had destroyed.
12 E estes homens trabalhavam fielmente na obra; e os superintendentes sobre elles eram: Johath e Obadias, levitas, dos filhos de Merari, como tambem Zacharias e Mesullam, dos filhos dos kohathitas, para avançarem a obra: estes levitas todos eram entendidos em instrumentos de musica.
And the men [were] faithfully [engaged] in the works: and over them were superintendents, Jeth and Abdias, Levites of the sons of Merari, and Zacharias and Mosollam, of the sons of Caath, [appointed] to oversee; and every Levite, and every one that understood [how] to play on musical instruments.
13 Estavam tambem sobre os carregadores e os inspectores de todos os que trabalhavam em alguma obra; e d'entre os levitas eram os escrivães, e os officiaes e os porteiros.
And [overseers were] over the burden-bearers, and over all the workmen in the respective works; and of the Levites [were appointed] scribes, and judges, and porters.
14 E, tirando elles o dinheiro que se tinha trazido á casa do Senhor, Hilkias, o sacerdote, achou o livro da lei do Senhor, dada pela mão de Moysés.
And when they brought forth the money that had been brought into the house of the Lord, Chelcias the priest found a book of the law of the Lord [given] by the hand of Moses.
15 E Hilkias respondeu, e disse a Saphan, o escrivão: Achei o livro da lei na casa do Senhor. E Hilkias deu o livro a Saphan.
And Chelcias answered and said to Saphan the scribe, I have found a book of the law in the house of the Lord. And Chelcias gave the book to Saphan.
16 E Saphan levou o livro ao rei, e deu conta tambem ao rei, dizendo: Teus servos fazem tudo quanto se lhes encommendou.
And Saphan brought in the book to the king, and moreover gave an account to the king, [saying, This is] all the money given into the hand of your servants that work.
17 E ajuntaram o dinheiro que se achou na casa do Senhor, e o deram na mão dos superintendentes e na mão dos que faziam a obra.
And they have collected the money that was found in the house of the Lord, and given it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of them that do the work.
18 De mais d'isto, Saphan, o escrivão, fez saber ao rei, dizendo: O sacerdote Hilkias me deu um livro. E Saphan leu n'elle perante o rei.
And Saphan the scribe brought word to the king, saying, Chelcias the priest has given me a book. And Saphan read it before the king.
19 Succedeu pois que, ouvindo o rei as palavras da lei, rasgou os seus vestidos.
And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the law, that he tore his garments.
20 E o rei mandou a Hilkias, e a Ahikam, filho de Saphan, e a Abdon, filho de Micah, e a Saphan, o escrivão, e a Asaias, ministro do rei, dizendo:
And the king commanded Chelcias, and Achicam the son of Saphan, and Abdom the son of Michaias, and Saphan the scribe, and Asia the servant of the king, saying,
21 Ide, consultae ao Senhor por mim, e pelo que fica de resto em Israel e em Judah, sobre as palavras d'este livro que se achou; porque grande é o furor do Senhor, que se derramou sobre nós; porquanto nossos paes não guardaram a palavra do Senhor, para fazerem conforme a tudo quanto está escripto n'este livro.
Go, enquire of the Lord for me, and for every one that is left in Israel and Juda, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath of the Lord [which] has been kindled among us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of the Lord, to do according to all the things written in this book.
22 Então Hilkias, e os enviados do rei, foram ter com a prophetiza Hulda, mulher de Sallum, filho de Tokhath, filho d'Hasra, guarda dos vestimentos (e habitava ella em Jerusalem na segunda parte); e fallaram-lhe segundo isto,
And Chelcias went, and [the others] whom the king told, to Olda the prophetess, the wife of Sellem son of Thecoe, son of Aras, who kept the commandments; and she lived in Jerusalem in the second [quarter]: and they spoke to her accordingly.
23 E ella lhes disse: Assim diz o Senhor, Deus d'Israel: Dizei ao homem que vos enviou a mim:
And she said to them, Thus has the Lord God of Israel said, Tell the man who sent you to me,
24 Assim diz o Senhor: Eis que trarei mal sobre este logar, e sobre os seus habitantes, a saber: todas as maldições que estão escriptas no livro que se leu perante o rei de Judah.
Thus says the Lord, Behold, I bring evil upon this place, [even] all the words that are written in the book that was read before the king of Juda:
25 Porque me deixaram, e queimaram incenso perante outros deuses, para me provocarem á ira com toda a obra das suas mãos; portanto o meu furor se derramou sobre este logar, e não se apagará.
because they have forsaken me, and burnt incense to strange gods, that they might provoke me by all the works of their hands; and my wrath is kindled against this place, and it shall not be quenched.
26 Porém ao rei de Judah, que vos enviou a consultar ao Senhor, assim lhe direis: Assim diz o Senhor, Deus d'Israel, quanto ás palavras que ouviste:
And concerning the king of Juda, who sent you to seek the Lord, —thus shall you say to him, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, [As for] the words which you has heard,
27 Porquanto o teu coração se enterneceu, e te humilhaste perante Deus, ouvindo as suas palavras contra este logar, e contra os seus habitantes, e te humilhaste perante mim, e rasgaste os teus vestidos, e choraste perante mim, tambem eu te tenho ouvido, diz o Senhor.
forasmuch as your heart was ashamed, and you was humbled before me when you heard my words against this place, and against the inhabitants of it, and you were humbled before me, and did rend your garments, and did weep before me; I also have heard, says the Lord.
28 Eis que te ajuntarei a teus paes, e tu serás recolhido ao teu sepulchro em paz, e os teus olhos não verão todo este mal que hei de trazer sobre este logar e sobre os seus habitantes. E tornaram com esta resposta ao rei.
Behold, I [will] gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, and your eyes shall not look upon all the evils which I am bringing upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of it. And they brought back word to the king.
29 Então enviou o rei, e ajuntou a todos os anciãos de Judah e Jerusalem.
And the king sent and gathered the elders of Juda and Jerusalem.
30 E o rei subiu á casa do Senhor, com todos os homens de Judah, e os habitantes de Jerusalem, e os sacerdotes, e os levitas, e todo o povo, desde o maior até ao mais pequeno: e elle leu aos ouvidos d'elles todas as palavras do livro do concerto, que se tinha achado na casa do Senhor.
And the king went up to the house of the Lord, [he] and all Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that were found in the house of the Lord.
31 E poz-se o rei em pé em seu logar, e fez concerto perante o Senhor, para andar após o Senhor, e para guardar os seus mandamentos, e os seus testemunhos, e os seus estatutos, com todo o seu coração, e com toda a sua alma, fazendo as palavras do concerto, que estão escriptas n'aquelle livro.
And the king stood at a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk before the Lord, to keep his commandments and testimonies, and his ordinances, with all [his] heart and with all [his] soul, so as to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.
32 E fez estar em pé a todos quantos se acharam em Jerusalem e em Benjamin: e os habitantes de Jerusalem fizeram conforme ao concerto de Deus, do Deus de seus paes.
And he caused all that were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand; and the inhabitants of Jerusalem made a covenant in the house of the Lord God of their fathers.
33 E Josias tirou todas as abominações de todas as terras que eram dos filhos d'Israel; e a todos quantos se acharam em Israel obrigou a que com tal culto servissem ao Senhor seu Deus: todos os seus dias não se desviaram d'após o Senhor, Deus de seus paes.
And Josias removed all the abominations out of the whole land which belonged to the children of Israel, and caused all that were found in Jerusalem and in Israel, to serve the Lord their God all his days: he departed not from following the Lord God of his fathers.
