2 Reis 22
1 Tinha Josias oito annos d'edade quando começou a reinar, e reinou trinta e um annos em Jerusalem: e era o nome de sua mãe, Jedida, filha de Adais, de Boskath.
Josiah was eight years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 31 years. His mother was Jedidah and his grandfather was Adaiah from Bozkath [town].
2 E fez o que era recto aos olhos do Senhor; e andou em todo o caminho de David, seu pae, e não se apartou d'elle nem para a direita nem para a esquerda.
Josiah did things that were pleasing to Yahweh and conducted his life as his ancestor King David had done. He completely obeyed [IDM] all the laws of God.
3 Succedeu pois que, no anno decimo oitavo do rei Josias, o rei mandou ao escrivão Saphan, filho de Asalias, filho de Mesullam, á casa do Senhor, dizendo:
After Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years, he sent his secretary Shaphan, the son of Azaliah and grandson of Meshullam, to the temple with these instructions:
4 Sobe a Hilkias, o summo sacerdote, para que tome o dinheiro que se trouxe á casa do Senhor, o qual os guardas do umbral da porta ajuntaram do povo,
“Go to Hilkiah, the Supreme Priest, and tell him to give me a report, telling me how much money the men who guard the doors of the temple have collected from the people [as offerings].
5 E que o dêem na mão dos que teem cargo da obra, e estão encarregados da casa do Senhor; para que o dêem áquelles que fazem a obra que ha na casa do Senhor, para repararem as quebraduras da casa
Then tell him to give all that money to the men who are supervising the work of repairing the temple.
6 Aos carpinteiros, e aos edificadores, e aos pedreiros: e para comprar madeira e pedras lavradas, para repararem a casa.
They must give that money to the carpenters, the builders, and the masons, and they should also buy the timber and the stones that they will use to repair the temple.
7 Porém com elles se não fez conta do dinheiro que se lhes entregara nas suas mãos, porquanto obravam com fidelidade.
But the men who supervise the work will not be required to make a report on the money that is given to them, saying what they spent it for, because those men are completely honest.”
8 Então disse o summo sacerdote Hilkias, ao escrivão Saphan: Achei o livro da lei na casa do Senhor. E Hilkias deu o livro a Saphan, e elle o leu.
[After Shaphan said that to Hilkiah] the king’s secretary, Hilkiah said to Shaphan, “I have found in the temple a scroll on which is written the laws [that God gave to Moses]!” Hilkiah gave the scroll to Shaphan, and he started to read it.
9 Então o escrivão Saphan veiu ao rei, e referiu ao rei a resposta; e disse: Teus servos ajuntaram o dinheiro que se achou na casa, e o entregaram na mão dos que teem cargo da obra, que estão encarregados da casa do Senhor.
Then Shaphan [took the scroll] to the king and said to him, “Your temple guards have taken the money that was in the temple, and they have given it to the men who will supervise the work of repairing the temple.”
10 Tambem Saphan, o escrivão, fez saber ao rei, dizendo: O sacerdote Hilkias me deu um livro. E Saphan o leu diante do rei.
Then Shaphan said to the king, [“I have brought to you] a scroll that Hilkiah gave to me.” And Shaphan started to read it to the king.
11 Succedeu pois que, ouvindo o rei as palavras do livro da lei, rasgou os seus vestidos.
When the king heard the laws that were written in the scroll that Shaphan was reading to him, he tore his clothes [because he was very dismayed].
12 E o rei mandou a Hilkias, o sacerdote, e a Ahikam, filho de Saphan, e a Acbor, filho de Micaias, e a Saphan, o escrivão, e a Asaias, o servo do rei, dizendo:
Then he gave these instructions to Hilkiah, to Shaphan’s son Ahikam, to Micaiah’s son Achbor, and to Asaiah, the king’s special advisor:
13 Ide, e consultae ao Senhor por mim, e pelo povo, e por todo o Judah, ácerca das palavras d'este livro que se achou; porque grande é o furor do Senhor, que se accendeu contra nós; porquanto nossos paes não deram ouvidos ás palavras d'este livro, para fazerem conforme tudo quanto de nós está escripto.
“Go and ask Yahweh for me and for all the people of Judah, about what is written in this scroll that has been found. Because [it is clear that] Yahweh is very angry with us because our ancestors disobeyed what was written on this scroll, things that we [should have done].”
14 Então foi o sacerdote Hilkias, e Ahikam, e Acbor, e Saphan, e Asaias á prophetiza Hulda, mulher de Sallum, filho de Tikva, o filho de Harhas, o guarda das vestiduras (e ella habitava em Jerusalem, na segunda parte, ) e lhe fallaram.
So Hilkiah, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to (consult/talk with) a woman whose name was Huldah, who was a prophetess who lived in the newer/northern part of Jerusalem. Her husband Shallum, son of Tikvah and grandson of Harhas, took care of the robes that were worn [in the temple] (OR, [by the king]). [Those five men told her about the scroll].
15 E ella lhes disse: Assim diz o Senhor, o Deus de Israel: Dizei ao homem que vos enviou a mim:
She said to them, “This is what Yahweh the God whom we Israelis [worship] says: ‘Go back and tell the king who sent you
16 Assim diz o Senhor: Eis que trarei mal sobre este logar, e sobre os seus moradores, a saber: todas as palavras do livro que leu o rei de Judah.
that this is what Yahweh says: “Listen to this carefully. I am going to cause all the people who live here in Jerusalem to experience a disaster, which is what was written in the scroll that the king has read.
17 Porquanto me deixaram, e queimaram incenso a outros deuses, para me provocarem á ira por todas as obras das suas mãos, o meu furor se accendeu contra este logar, e não se apagará.
I will do that because they have abandoned me, and they burn incense to [honor] other gods. They have caused me to become very angry by [worshiping] the idols that they have made (OR, by all the wicked things that they have done), and my anger is like [MET] a fire that will not be put out.”
18 Porém ao rei de Judah, que vos enviou a consultar ao Senhor, assim lhe direis: Assim diz o Senhor o Deus de Israel ácerca das palavras, que ouviste:
The king of Judah sent you to inquire what I, Yahweh, wanted you to do, so this is what you should say to him: “Because you have heeded what was written in the scroll,
19 Porquanto o teu coração se enterneceu, e te humilhaste perante o Senhor, quando ouviste o que fallei contra este logar, e contra os seus moradores, que seria para assolação e para maldição, e que rasgaste os teus vestidos, e choraste perante mim, tambem eu te ouvi, diz o Senhor.
and you repented and humbled yourself when you heard what I said to warn you [about what would happen to] this city and the people who live here and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, I have heard you. I said that I would cause this city to be abandoned. It will be a city whose name people will use when they curse someone. But I have heard what you prayed,
20 Pelo que eis que eu te ajuntarei a teus paes, e tu serás ajuntado em paz á tua sepultura, e os teus olhos não verão todo o mal que hei de trazer sobre este logar. Então tornaram a trazer ao rei a resposta.
so I will allow you to die [EUP] and be buried peacefully. I will cause the people who live here to experience a terrible disaster, but you will not [be alive to] see it.”’” After the men heard that, they returned to King Josiah and gave him that message.
