< 2 Crônicas 35 >
1 Então Josias celebrou a paschoa ao Senhor em Jerusalem: e mataram o cordeiro da paschoa no decimo quarto dia do mez primeiro.
Josiah [commanded that the people should] celebrate the Passover Festival to honor Yahweh in Jerusalem. So they slaughtered the lambs for the Passover [Festival] at the end of March.
2 E estabeleceu os sacerdotes nas suas guardas, e os animou ao ministerio da casa do Senhor.
Josiah assigned to the priests the tasks that they should perform at the temple and encouraged them to do their work well.
3 E disse aos levitas que ensinavam a todo o Israel e estavam consagrados ao Senhor: Ponde a arca sagrada na casa que edificou Salomão, filho de David, rei d'Israel; não tereis mais este cargo aos hombros: agora servi ao Senhor vosso Deus, e ao seu povo Israel.
The [other] descendants of Levi were the ones who taught all the Israeli people; they had been dedicated to serve Yahweh. Josiah said to them, “Put the Sacred Chest in the temple that [the workers of] David’s son [King] Solomon of Israel built. But [carry it on poles; ] do not carry it on your shoulders. And do your your work well for Yahweh your God and for his Israeli people.
4 E preparae-vos segundo as casas de vossos paes, segundo as vossas turmas, conforme á prescripção de David rei d'Israel, e conforme á prescripção de Salomão, seu filho.
Divide yourselves into clans, obeying the instructions that King David and his son Solomon wrote.
5 E estae no sanctuario segundo as divisões das casas paternas de vossos irmãos, os filhos do povo; e haja para cada um uma porção das casas paternas dos levitas.
Then stand in the temple, with one group of the descendants of Levi to help each clan of the people [when they bring their offerings to the temple].
6 E sacrificae a paschoa: e sanctificae-vos, e preparae-a para vossos irmãos, fazendo conforme á palavra do Senhor, dada pela mão de Moysés.
Slaughter the lambs for the Passover [Festival]. Perform the rituals to cause yourselves to be acceptable to Yahweh for doing this work. Prepare the sacrifices, doing what Yahweh told Moses to tell you that you should do.”
7 E apresentou Josias, aos filhos do povo, cordeiros e cabritos do rebanho, todos para os sacrificios da paschoa, por todo o que ali se achou, em numero de trinta mil, e de bois tres mil: isto era da fazenda do rei.
Josiah provided [from his own flocks and herds] 30,000 sheep and goats for the Passover sacrifices.
8 Tambem apresentaram os seus principes offertas voluntarias ao povo, aos sacerdotes e aos levitas: Hilkias, e Zacharias, e Jehiel, maioral da casa de Deus, deram aos sacerdotes para os sacrificios da paschoa duas mil e seiscentas rezes de gado miudo, e trezentos bois.
His officials also voluntarily contributed animals for the people and the priests and the [other] descendants of Levi. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the officials who were in charge of the temple, gave to the priests 2,600 lambs and 300 cattle to be sacrifices for the Passover.
9 E Conanias, e Semaias, e Nathanael, seus irmãos, como tambem Hasabias, e Jeiel, e Jozabad, maioraes dos levitas, apresentaram aos levitas, para os sacrificios da paschoa, cinco mil rezes de gado miudo, e quinhentos bois.
And Conaniah along with his [younger] brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, and Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, the leaders of the [other] descendants of Levi, provided 5,000 lambs and 500 cattle for the other descendants of Levi, to be sacrifices for the Passover.
10 Assim se preparou o serviço: e pozeram-se os sacerdotes nos seus postos, e os levitas nas suas turmas, conforme ao mandado do rei.
Everything [for the Passover] was arranged: The priests and the other descendants of Levi stood in their places in their groups, like the king had commanded.
11 Então sacrificaram a paschoa: e os sacerdotes espargiam o sangue recebido das suas mãos, e os levitas esfollavam as rezes.
Then they slaughtered the Passover lambs. The priests sprinkled the blood [from the bowls] that were handed to them, while the [other] descendants of Levi removed the skins from the animals.
12 E pozeram de parte os holocaustos para os darem aos filhos do povo, segundo as divisões das casas paternas, para o offerecerem ao Senhor, como está escripto no livro de Moysés: e assim fizeram com os bois.
They set aside the animals to be completely burned on the altar, in order to give them to the various family groups to offer to Yahweh, obeying the instructions that were written in the laws God gave Moses. They did the same thing with the cattle.
13 E assaram a paschoa no fogo, segundo o rito: e as offertas sagradas cozeram em panellas, e em caldeiras e em sertãs; e promptamente as repartiram entre todo o povo.
Obeying those regulations, they roasted the lambs for the Passover over the fire. And they boiled the [meat of the] sacred offerings in pots and kettles and pans, and served the meat immediately to all the people [who were there].
14 Depois prepararam para si e para os sacerdotes; porque os sacerdotes, filhos d'Aarão, se occuparam até á noite com o sacrificio dos holocaustos e da gordura; pelo que os levitas prepararam para si e para os sacerdotes, filhos d'Aarão.
After that, they prepared meat for themselves and for the priests, because the priests were busy until nighttime, sacrificing the offerings to be completely burned and burning the fat parts of the offerings. So the [other] descendants of Levi prepared meat for themselves and for the priests, who were descendants of Aaron, [the first Supreme Priest].
15 E os cantores, filhos d'Asaph, estavam no seu posto, segundo o mandado de David, e d'Asaph, e d'Heman, e de Jeduthun, vidente do rei, como tambem os porteiros a cada porta; não necessitaram de se desviarem do seu ministerio; porquanto seus irmãos, os levitas, preparavam para elles.
The musicians, who were descendants of Asaph, stood in their places, as King David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s prophet had commanded. The men who guarded the gates [of the temple] did not need to leave their places, because their fellow descendants of Levi prepared food for them to eat.
16 Assim se estabeleceu todo o serviço do Senhor n'aquelle dia, para celebrar a paschoa, e sacrificar holocaustos sobre o altar do Senhor, segundo o mandado do rei Josias.
So on that day everything that needed to done for worshiping Yahweh was done. They celebrated the Passover [Festival], and they presented offerings to be completely burned on the altar, which was what Josiah had commanded.
17 E os filhos d'Israel que ali se acharam celebraram a paschoa n'aquelle tempo, e a festa dos pães asmos, sete dias.
The Israelis who were there celebrated the Passover [Festival] on that day, and for seven days they celebrated the Festival of [Eating] Unleavened Bread.
18 Nunca pois se celebrou tal paschoa em Israel, desde os dias do propheta Samuel: nem nenhuns reis d'Israel celebraram tal paschoa como a que celebrou Josias com os sacerdotes, e levitas, e todo o Judah e Israel, que ali se acharam, e os habitantes de Jerusalem.
The Passover [Festival] had not been celebrated like that in Israel since the time that the prophet Samuel lived. None of the other kings of Israel had ever celebrated the Passover like Josiah did, along with the priests, the other descendants of Levi, and all [the other people of] Judah and Israel who were there with the people who lived in Jerusalem.
19 No anno decimo oitavo do reinado de Josias se celebrou esta paschoa.
They celebrated this Passover Festival when Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years.
20 Depois de tudo isto, havendo Josias já preparado a casa, subiu Necho, rei do Egypto, para guerrear contra Carchemis, junto ao Euphrates: e Josias lhe saiu ao encontro.
After Josiah had done all those things to [restore the worship at] the temple, King Neco of Egypt went [with his army] to attack Carchemish [city] alongside the Euphrates [River], and Josiah marched [with his army] to fight against them.
21 Então elle lhe mandou mensageiros, dizendo: Que tenho eu que fazer comtigo, rei de Judah? quanto a ti, contra ti não venho hoje, senão contra a casa que me faz guerra; e disse Deus que me apressasse: guarda-te de te oppores a Deus, que é comigo, para que não te destrua.
Neco sent some messengers to Josiah, to tell him, “You are the king of Judah, and there is certainly no quarrel between you and me. My army is not attacking you people; we are attacking another army, [the army of Babylonia]. God has told me to hurry. So stop opposing God, who is for me. If you do not stop, God will get rid of you.”
22 Porém Josias não virou d'elle o seu rosto, antes se disfarçou, para pelejar com elle; e não deu ouvidos ás palavras de Necho, que sairam da bocca de Deus; antes veiu pelejar no valle de Megiddo.
But Josiah would not pay attention to him. Instead, he disguised himself in order to be able to attack [the army of Egypt without anyone recognizing him]. He did not pay any attention to what God had told Neco to say. Instead, he [and his army] went to fight Neco’s army at the plain of Megiddo.
23 E os frecheiros atiraram ao rei Josias: então o rei disse a seus servos: Tirae-me d'aqui, porque estou gravemente ferido.
Some Egyptian archers shot King Josiah. He told his officers, “Take me away from here because I am badly wounded.”
24 E seus servos o tiraram do carro, e o levaram no carro segundo que tinha, e o trouxeram a Jerusalem; e morreu, e o sepultaram nos sepulchros de seus paes: e todo o Judah e Jerusalem tomaram luto por Josias.
So they took him out of his chariot and put him in another chariot that he had brought with him, and they took him to Jerusalem, where he died. He was buried in the tombs where his ancestors [had been buried], and all [the people of] Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah mourned for him.
25 E Jeremias fez uma lamentação sobre Josias; e todos os cantores e cantoras fallaram de Josias nas suas lamentações, até ao dia d'hoje; porque as deram por estatuto em Israel; e eis que estão escriptas nas lamentações.
[The prophet] Jeremiah composed a song to mourn for Josiah, and all the men and women singers in Israel still mourn for Josiah by singing that song. That became a custom in Israel; the words of that song are written in a scroll of funeral songs.
26 Quanto ao mais dos successos de Josias, e as suas beneficencias, conforme está escripto na lei do Senhor,
A record of the other things that happened while Josiah ruled, from the time he started to rule until he died, including how he faithfully honored God by obeying everything that was written in the laws of Yahweh, is in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel and Judah’.
27 E os seus successos, tanto os primeiros como os ultimos, eis que estão escriptos no livro dos reis d'Israel e de Judah.
