2 Reis 23

1 Então o rei enviou, e todos os anciãos de Judah e de Jerusalem se ajuntaram a elle.

Then the king summoned all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.

2 E o rei subiu á casa do Senhor, e com elle todos os homens de Judah, e todos o moradores de Jerusalem, e os sacerdotes, e os prophetas, e todo o povo, desde o mais pequeno até ao maior: e leu aos ouvidos d'elles todas as palavras do livro do concerto, que se achou na casa do Senhor.

And he went up to the house of the LORD with all the people of Judah and Jerusalem, as well as the priests and the prophets—all the people small and great—and in their hearing he read all the words of the Book of the Covenant that had been found in the house of the LORD.

3 E o rei se poz em pé junto á columna, e fez o concerto perante o Senhor, para andarem atraz do Senhor, e guardarem os seus mandamentos, e os seus testemunhos, e os seus estatutos, com todo o coração, e com toda a alma, confirmando as palavras d'este concerto, que estavam escriptas n'aquelle livro; e todo o povo esteve por este concerto.

So the king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the LORD to follow the LORD and to keep His commandments, decrees, and statutes with all his heart and all his soul, and to carry out the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people entered into the covenant.

4 E o rei mandou ao summo sacerdote Hilkias, e aos sacerdotes da segunda ordem, e aos guardas do umbral da porta, que se tirassem do templo do Senhor todos os vasos que se tinham feito para Baal, e para o bosque, e para todo o exercito dos céus: e os queimou fóra de Jerusalem, nos campos de Cedron, e levou o pó d'elles a Bethel.

Then the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, the priests second in rank, and the doorkeepers to remove from the temple of the LORD all the articles made for Baal, Asherah, and all the host of heaven. And he burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron and carried their ashes to Bethel.

5 Tambem abrogou os sacerdotes que os reis de Judah estabeleceram para incensarem sobre os altos nas cidades de Judah, e ao redor de Jerusalem, como tambem os que incensavam a Baal, ao sol, e á lua, e aos mais planetas, e a todo o exercito dos céus.

Josiah also did away with the idolatrous priests ordained by the kings of Judah to burn incense on the high places of the cities of Judah and in the places all around Jerusalem—those who had burned incense to Baal, to the sun and moon, to the constellations, and to all the host of heaven.

6 Tambem tirou da casa do Senhor o bosque para fóra de Jerusalem até ao ribeiro de Cedron, e o queimou junto ao ribeiro de Cedron, e o desfez em pó, e lançou o seu pó sobre as sepulturas dos filhos do povo

He brought the Asherah pole from the house of the LORD to the Kidron Valley outside Jerusalem, and there he burned it, ground it to powder, and threw its dust on the graves of the common people.

7 Tambem derribou as casas dos rapazes escandalosos que estavam na casa do Senhor, em que as mulheres teciam casinhas para o bosque.

He also tore down the quarters of the male shrine prostitutes that were in the house of the LORD, where the women had woven tapestries for Asherah.

8 E a todos os sacerdotes trouxe das cidades de Judah, e profanou os altos em que os sacerdotes incensavam, desde Geba até Berseba: e derribou os altos das portas, o que estava á entrada da porta de Josué, o chefe da cidade, que estava á mão esquerda d'aquelle que entrava pela porta da cidade.

Then Josiah brought all the priests from the cities of Judah and desecrated the high places, from Geba to Beersheba, where the priests had burned incense. He tore down the high places of the gates at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which was to the left of the city gate.

9 Mas os sacerdotes dos altos não sacrificavam sobre o altar do Senhor em Jerusalem; porém comiam pães asmos no meio de seus irmãos.

Although the priests of the high places did not come up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, they ate unleavened bread with their fellow priests.

10 Tambem profanou a Topheth, que está no valle dos filhos de Hinnom; para que ninguem fizesse passar a seu filho, ou sua filha, pelo fogo a Molech.

He also desecrated Topheth in the Valley of Ben-hinnom so that no one could sacrifice his son or daughter in the fire to Molech.

11 Tambem tirou os cavallos que os reis de Judah tinham ordenado para o sol, á entrada da casa do Senhor, perto da camara de Nathan-melech, o eunucho, que estava no precinto: e os carros do sol queimou a fogo.

And he removed from the entrance to the house of the LORD the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun. They were in the court near the chamber of an official named Nathan-melech. And Josiah burned up the chariots of the sun.

12 Tambem o rei derribou os altares que estavam sobre o terraço do cenaculo de Achaz, os quaes fizeram os reis de Judah, como tambem o rei derribou os altares que fizera Manasseh nos dois atrios da casa do Senhor: e esmiuçados os tirou d'ali, e lançou o pó d'elles no ribeiro de Cedron.

He pulled down the altars that the kings of Judah had set up on the roof near the upper chamber of Ahaz, and the altars that Manasseh had set up in the two courtyards of the house of the LORD. The king pulverized them there and threw their dust into the Kidron Valley.

13 O rei profanou tambem os altos que estavam defronte de Jerusalem, á mão direita do monte de Mashith, os quaes edificara Salomão, rei d'Israel, a Astoreth, a abominação dos sidonios, e a Camos, a abominação dos moabitas, e a Milcom, a abominação dos filhos d'Ammon.

The king also desecrated the high places east of Jerusalem, to the south of the Mount of Corruption, which King Solomon of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

14 Similhantemente quebrou as estatuas, e cortou os bosques, e encheu o seu logar com ossos de homens.

He smashed the sacred pillars to pieces, cut down the Asherah poles, and covered the sites with human bones.

15 E tambem o altar que estava em Bethel, e o alto que fez Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, que tinha feito peccar a Israel, juntamente com aquelle altar tambem o alto derribou; queimando o alto, em pó o esmiuçou, e queimou o bosque.

He even pulled down the altar at Bethel, the high place set up by Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin. Then he burned the high place, ground it to powder, and burned the Asherah pole.

16 E, virando-se Josias, viu as sepulturas que estavam ali no monte, e enviou, e tomou os ossos das sepulturas, e os queimou sobre aquelle altar, e assim o profanou, conforme palavra do Senhor, que apregoara o homem de Deus, quando apregoou estas palavras.

And as Josiah turned, he saw the tombs there on the hillside, and he sent someone to take the bones out of the tombs, and he burned them on the altar to defile it, according to the word of the LORD proclaimed by the man of God who had foretold these things.

17 Então disse: Que é este monumento que vejo? E o homens da cidade lhe disseram: É a sepultura do homem de Deus que veiu de Judah, e apregoou estas coisas que fizeste contra este altar de Bethel.

Then the king asked, “What is this monument I see?” And the men of the city replied, “It is the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and pronounced these things that you have done to the altar of Bethel.”

18 E disse: Deixae-o estar; ninguem mexa nos seus ossos. Assim deixaram estar os seus ossos com os ossos do propheta que viera de Samaria.

“Let him rest,” said Josiah. “Do not let anyone disturb his bones.” So they left his bones undisturbed, along with those of the prophet who had come from Samaria.

19 De mais d'isto tambem Josias tirou todas as casas dos altos que havia nas cidades de Samaria, e que os reis d'Israel tinham feito para provocarem á ira; e lhes fez conforme todos os feitos que tinha feito em Bethel.

Just as Josiah had done at Bethel, so also in the cities of Samaria he removed all the shrines of the high places set up by the kings of Israel who had provoked the LORD to anger.

20 E sacrificou todos os sacerdotes dos altos, que havia ali, sobre os altares, e queimou ossos de homens sobre elles: depois voltou a Jerusalem.

On the altars he slaughtered all the priests of the high places, and he burned human bones on them. Then he returned to Jerusalem.

21 E o rei deu ordem a todo o povo, dizendo: Celebrae a paschoa ao Senhor vosso Deus, como está escripto no livro do concerto.

The king commanded all the people, “Keep the Passover of the LORD your God, as it is written in this Book of the Covenant.”

22 Porque nunca se celebrou tal paschoa como esta desde os dias dos juizes que julgaram a Israel, nem em todos os dias dos reis d'Israel, nem tão pouco dos reis de Judah.

No such Passover had been observed from the days of the judges who had governed Israel through all the days of the kings of Israel and Judah.

23 Porém no anno decimo oitavo do rei Josias esta paschoa se celebrou ao Senhor em Jerusalem.

But in the eighteenth year of Josiah’s reign, this Passover was observed to the LORD in Jerusalem.

24 E tambem os adivinhos, e os feiticeiros, e os terafins, e os idolos, e todas as abominações que se viam na terra de Judah e em Jerusalem, os extirpou Josias, para confirmar as palavras da lei, que estavam escriptas no livro que o sacerdote Hilkias achara na casa do Senhor.

Furthermore, Josiah removed the mediums and spiritists, the household gods and idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem. He did this to carry out the words of the law written in the book that Hilkiah the priest had found in the house of the LORD.

25 E antes d'elle não houve rei similhante, que se convertesse ao Senhor com todo o seu coração, e com toda a sua alma, e com todas as suas forças, conforme toda a lei de Moysés: e depois d'elle nunca se levantou outro tal.

Neither before nor after Josiah was there any king like him, who turned to the LORD with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength, according to all the Law of Moses.

26 Todavia o Senhor se não tornou do ardor da sua grande ira, com que ardia a sua ira contra Judah, por todas as provocações com que Manasseh o tinha provocado.

Nevertheless, the LORD did not turn away from the fury of His burning anger, which was kindled against Judah because of all that Manasseh had done to provoke Him to anger.

27 E disse o Senhor: Tambem a Judah hei de tirar de diante da minha face, como tirei a Israel, e rejeitarei esta cidade de Jerusalem que elegi, como tambem a casa de que disse: Estará ali o meu nome.

For the LORD had said, “I will remove Judah from My sight, just as I removed Israel. I will reject this city Jerusalem, which I chose, and the temple of which I said, ‘My Name shall be there.’”

28 Ora o mais dos successos de Josias, e tudo quanto fez, porventura não está escripto no livro das chronicas dos reis de Judah?

As for the rest of the acts of Josiah, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

29 Nos seus dias subiu Pharaó Neco, rei do Egypto, contra o rei d'Assyria, ao rio Euphrates: e o rei Josias lhe foi ao encontro; e, vendo-o elle, o matou em Megiddo.

At the end of Josiah’s reign, Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt marched up to help the king of Assyria at the Euphrates River. King Josiah went out to confront him, but Neco faced him and killed him at Megiddo.

30 E seus servos o levaram morto de Megiddo, e o trouxeram a Jerusalem, e o sepultaram na sua sepultura: e o povo da terra tomou a Joachaz, filho de Josias, e o ungiram, e o fizeram rei em logar de seu pae.

From Megiddo his servants carried his body in a chariot, brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah, anointed him, and made him king in place of his father.

31 Tinha Joachaz vinte e tres annos de edade quando começou a reinar, e tres mezes reinou em Jerusalem: e era o nome de sua mãe Hamutal, filha de Jeremias, de Libna.

Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah.

32 E fez o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor, conforme tudo o que fizeram seus paes.

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as his fathers had done.

33 Porém Pharaó Neco o mandou prender em Ribla, em terra de Hamath, para que não reinasse em Jerusalem: e á terra impoz pena de cem talentos de prata e um talento de oiro.

And Pharaoh Neco imprisoned Jehoahaz at Riblah in the land of Hamath so that he could not reign in Jerusalem, and he imposed on Judah a levy of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

34 Tambem Pharaó Neco estabeleceu rei a Eliakim, filho de Josias, em logar de seu pae Josias, e lhe mudou o nome em Joaquim: porém a Joachaz tomou comsigo, e veiu ao Egypto e morreu ali.

Then Pharaoh Neco made Eliakim son of Josiah king in place of his father Josiah, and he changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. But Neco took Jehoahaz and carried him off to Egypt, where he died.

35 E Joaquim deu aquella prata e aquelle oiro a Pharaó; porém fintou a terra, para dar esse dinheiro conforme o mandado de Pharaó: a cada um segundo a sua avaliação demandou a prata e o oiro do povo da terra, para o dar a Pharaó Neco.

So Jehoiakim paid the silver and gold to Pharaoh Neco, but to meet Pharaoh’s demand he taxed the land and exacted the silver and the gold from the people, each according to his wealth.

36 Tinha Joaquim vinte e cinco annos de edade quando começou a reinar, e reinou onze annos em Jerusalem: e era o nome de sua mãe Zebuda, filha de Pedaia, de Ruma.

Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Zebidah daughter of Pedaiah; she was from Rumah.

37 E fez o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor, conforme tudo quanto fizeram seus paes.

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as his fathers had done.
