< 2 Reis 23 >
1 Então o rei enviou, e todos os anciãos de Judah e de Jerusalem se ajuntaram a elle.
Then the king sent, —and there were gathered unto him, 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 the king went up to the house of Yahweh, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great, —and he read in their ears, all the words of the book of the covenant, which had been found in the house of Yahweh.
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.
And the king took his stand by the pillar, and solemnised a covenant before Yahweh—to follow Yahweh, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes, with all [their] heart and with all [their] soul, to confirm the words of this covenant, written in this book. And all the people took their stand in 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, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the entrance-hall, to bring forth, out of the temple of Yahweh, all the vessels that had been made for Baal and for the Sacred Stem, and for all the army of the heavens, —and he burned them up outside Jerusalem, in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them 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.
and he put down the idol-priests, whom the kings of Judah had appointed, so that incense might be burned in the high places, in the cities of Judah, and round about Jerusalem, —them also that burned incense to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the constellations, and to all the army of the heavens;
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
and he brought forth the Sacred Stem out of the house of Yahweh, outside Jerusalem, into the Kidron ravine, and burned it in the Kidron ravine, and crushed it to powder, —and cast the powder upon the graves of the sons of the people;
7 Tambem derribou as casas dos rapazes escandalosos que estavam na casa do Senhor, em que as mulheres teciam casinhas para o bosque.
and he brake down the houses of the male devotees, which were in the house of Yahweh, —where the women did weave houses to the Sacred Stem;
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.
and be brought in all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where, the priests, had burned incense, from Geba unto Beer-sheba, —and brake down the high places of the gates, that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua, the governor of the city, which were on one’s left hand, in the gate of the city;
9 Mas os sacerdotes dos altos não sacrificavam sobre o altar do Senhor em Jerusalem; porém comiam pães asmos no meio de seus irmãos.
howbeit, the priests of the high places came not up unto the altar of Yahweh, in Jerusalem, save only that they did eat unleavened bread in the midst of their brethren;
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.
and he defiled Topheth, which was in the valley of the son of Hinnom, —so that no man might cause his son or his daughter to pass through the fire unto 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 did away with the horses, which the kings of Judah had devoted to the sun, at the entrance of the house of Yahweh, near the chamber of Nathan-melech the courtier, which was in the suburbs, also, the chariots of the sun, burned he with fire;
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.
and, the altars which were on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, also the altars which Manasseh had made, in the two courts of the house of Yahweh, did the king break down, —and hurried away from thence, and cast out the powder of them into the Kidron ravine;
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.
and, the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of destruction, which Solomon king of Israel had built unto Ashtoreth—the abomination of the Zidonians, and unto Chemosh—the abomination of the Moabites, and unto Milcom—the disgusting thing of the sons of Ammon, did the king defile;
14 Similhantemente quebrou as estatuas, e cortou os bosques, e encheu o seu logar com ossos de homens.
and he brake in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Sacred Stems, —and filled their place 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.
moreover also, the altar that was in Bethel, the high place which Jeroboam son of Nebat made, wherewith he caused, Israel, to sin, —even that altar, and the high place, brake he down, —and burned the high place, crushing it to powder, and burned a Sacred Stem.
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, when Josiah turned, and saw the graves which were there, in the mount, he sent and took the bones out of the graves, and burned upon the altar, and defiled it, —according to the word of Yahweh, which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed 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 said he—What is yonder erection, which I do see? And the men of the city said unto him—The grave of the man of God, who came in out of Judah, and proclaimed these things, which thou hast done, concerning 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.
And he said—Let him rest, let, no man, disturb his bones. So they let his bones rest, with the bones of the prophet who came in out of 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.
Moreover also, all the houses of the high places which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made, so as to provoke Yahweh to anger, did Josiah remove, —and he did to them according to all the doings which he had done in Bethel;
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.
and he sacrificed all the priests of the high places, who were there, by the altars, and burned human bones thereupon, —and 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.
Then did the king command all the people, saying, Keep ye a passover unto Yahweh, your God, —such as 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.
Surely there had not been held such a passover as this, from the days of the Judges who judged Israel, —nor all the days of the kings of Israel, and the kings of Judah;
23 Porém no anno decimo oitavo do rei Josias esta paschoa se celebrou ao Senhor em Jerusalem.
save only, in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, when this passover was held unto Yahweh, 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.
Moreover also, them who had familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the household gods, and the manufactured gods, and the abominations which were to be seen in the land of Judah, and in Jerusalem, did Josiah consume, —that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest had found in the house of Yahweh.
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.
And, like him, was no king, before him, who turned unto Yahweh with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses, —neither, after him, arose one, like him.
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.
Howbeit, Yahweh turned not away from the glow of his great anger, wherewith his anger glowed against Judah—because of all the provocations wherewith, Manasseh, had provoked him.
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.
So Yahweh said: Even Judah, will I remove from my presence, as I have removed Israel, —and will reject this city, which I had chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house as to which I had 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?
Now, the rest of the story of Josiah, and all that he did, 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.
In his days, came up Pharaoh-necoh king of Egypt, against the king of Assyria, unto the river Euphrates, —and, when King Josiah went against him, he slew him at Megiddo, as soon as he saw him.
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.
And his servants conveyed him in a chariot, dead, from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre, —and the people of the land took Jehoahaz, son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made, him, king, in his father’s stead.
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.
Twenty-three years old, was Jehoahaz when he began to reign, and, three months, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah, of Libnah.
32 E fez o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor, conforme tudo o que fizeram seus paes.
And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that 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-necoh put him in bonds at Riblah, in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem, —and he laid a fine upon the land, 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.
And Pharaoh-necoh made Eliakim son of Josiah king, instead of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, —and, Jehoahaz, took he away, so he entered Egypt, and died there.
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.
And, the silver and the gold, did Jehoiakim give unto Pharaoh, howbeit he assessed the land, that he might give the silver at the bidding of Pharaoh, —every man, according to his assessment, exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, that he might give it to Pharaoh-necoh.
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.
Twenty-five years old, was Jehoiakim when he began to reign, and, eleven years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Zebudah daughter of Pedaiah, of Rumah.
37 E fez o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor, conforme tudo quanto fizeram seus paes.
And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that, his fathers, had done.
