2 Crônicas 29
1 Tinha Ezequias vinte e cinco anos de idade, quando começou a reinar e reinou vinte e nove anos em Jerusalém: e era o nome de sua mãe Abia, filha de Zacarias.
And so Hezekiah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old. And he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
2 E fez o que era reto aos olhos do Senhor, conforme a tudo quanto fizera David seu pai.
And he did what was pleasing in the sight of the Lord, in accord with all that his father David had done.
3 Este, no ano primeiro do seu reinado, no mês primeiro, abriu as portas da casa do Senhor, e as reparou.
In the first year and month of his reign, he opened the double doors of the house of the Lord, and he repaired them.
4 E trouxe os sacerdotes, e os levitas, e os ajuntou na praça oriental,
And he brought together the priests and Levites. And he gathered them in the wide eastern street.
5 E lhes disse: Ouvi-me, ó levitas, santificai-vos agora, e santificai a casa do Senhor, Deus de vossos pais, e tirai do santuário a imundícia.
And he said to them: “Listen to me, O Levites, and be sanctified. Cleanse the house of the Lord, the God of your fathers, and take away every uncleanness from the sanctuary.
6 Porque nossos pais transgrediram, e fizeram o que era mal aos olhos do Senhor nosso Deus, e o deixaram; e desviaram os seus rostos do tabernáculo do Senhor, e lhe deram as costas.
Our fathers sinned and did evil in the sight of the Lord our God, abandoning him. They turned their faces away from the tabernacle of the Lord, and they presented their backs.
7 Também fecharam as portas do alpendre, e apagaram as lâmpadas, e não queimaram incenso nem ofereceram holocaustos no santuário, ao Deus de Israel.
They closed up the doors which were in the portico, and they extinguished the lamps. And they did not burn incense, and they did not offer holocausts, in the sanctuary of the God of Israel.
8 Pelo que veio grande ira do Senhor sobre Judá e Jerusalém, e os entregou à perturbação, à assolação, e ao assobio, como vós o estais vendo com os vossos olhos.
And so the fury of the Lord was stirred up against Judah and Jerusalem, and he handed them over to turmoil, and to destruction, and to hissing, just as you discern with your own eyes.
9 Porque eis que nossos pais cairam à espada, e nossos filhos, e nossas filhas, e nossas mulheres por isso estiveram em cativeiro.
Lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword. Our sons, and our daughters and wives have been led away as captives because of this wickedness.
10 Agora me tem vindo ao coração, que façamos um concerto com o Senhor, Deus de Israel; para que se desvie de nós o ardor da sua ira
Now therefore, it is pleasing to me that we should enter into a covenant with the Lord, the God of Israel. And he will turn away the fury of his indignation from us.
11 Agora, filhos meus, não sejais negligentes; pois o Senhor vos tem escolhido para estardes diante dele para o servirdes, e para serdes seus ministros e queimadores de incenso.
My sons, do not choose to be negligent. The Lord has chosen you so that you would stand before him, and minister to him, and worship him, and burn incense to him.”
12 Então se levantaram os levitas, Mahath, filho d'Amasai, e Joel filho de Azarias, dos filhos dos kohathitas: e dos filhos de Merari, Kis, filho d'Abdi, e Azarias, filho de Jehalelel: e dos gersonitas, Joah, filho de Zimma, e Éden filho de Joah;
Therefore, the Levites rose up, Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel, the son of Azariah, from the sons of Kohath; then, from the sons of Merari, Kish, the son of Abdi, and Azariah, the son of Jehallelel; and from the sons of Gershon, Joah, the son of Zimmah, and Eden, the son of Joah;
13 E dentre os filhos de Elisaphan, Simri e Jeiel: dentre os filhos d'Asaph, Zacarias e Matthanias:
and truly, from the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; also, from the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;
14 E dentre os filhos d'Heman, Jehiel e Simei: e dentre os filhos de Jeduthun, Semaias e Uziel.
indeed also, from the sons of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; then too, from the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.
15 E ajuntaram a seus irmãos, e santificaram-se e vieram conforme ao mandado do rei, pelas palavras do Senhor, para purificarem a casa do Senhor.
And they gathered together their brothers. And they were sanctified. And they entered in accord with the command of the king and the order of the Lord, so that they might expiate the house of God.
16 E os sacerdotes entraram dentro da casa do Senhor, para a purificar, e tiraram para fora, ao pátio da casa do Senhor, toda a imundícia que acharam no templo do Senhor: e os levitas a tomaram, para a levarem para fora, ao ribeiro de Cedron.
And the priests, entering the temple of the Lord so that they might sanctify it, took every uncleanness, which they had found inside, out to the vestibule of the house of the Lord; and the Levites took it away and transported it outside, to the torrent Kidron.
17 Começaram pois a santificar ao primeiro do mês primeiro: e ao oitavo dia do mês vieram ao alpendre do Senhor, e santificaram a casa do Senhor em oito dias: e no dia décimo sexto do primeiro mês acabaram.
Now they began to cleanse on the first day of the first month. And on the eighth day of the same month, they entered the portico of the temple of the Lord. And then they expiated the temple over eight days. And on the sixteenth day of the same month, they finished what they had begun.
18 Então entraram para dentro, ao rei Ezequias, e disseram: Já purificamos toda a casa do Senhor, como também o altar do holocausto com todos os seus vasos e a mesa da proposição com todos os seus vasos.
Also, they entered to king Hezekiah, and they said to him: “We have sanctified the entire house of the Lord, and the altar of holocaust, and its vessels, indeed also the table of the presence, with all its vessels,
19 Também todos os vasos que o rei Achaz no seu reinado lançou fora, na sua transgressão, já preparamos e santificamos: e eis que estão diante do altar do Senhor
and all the equipment of the temple, which king Ahaz, during his reign, had polluted after his transgression. And behold, these have all been set forth before the altar of the Lord.”
20 Então o rei Ezequias se levantou de madrugada, e ajuntou os maiorais da cidade, e subiu à casa do Senhor.
And rising up at first light, king Hezekiah joined as one all the leaders of the city, and they ascended to the house of the Lord.
21 E trouxeram sete novilhos e sete carneiros, e sete cordeiros, e sete bodes, para sacrifício pelo pecado, pelo reino, e pelo santuário, e por Judá, e disse aos filhos de Aarão, os sacerdotes, que os oferecessem sobre o altar do Senhor.
And together they offered seven bulls and seven rams, seven lambs and seven he-goats, for sin, for the kingdom, for the Sanctuary, for Judah. And he spoke to the priests, the sons of Aaron, so that they would offer these upon the altar of the Lord.
22 E eles mataram os bois, e os sacerdotes tomaram o sangue e o espargiram sobre o altar: também mataram os carneiros, e espargiram o sangue sobre o altar: semelhantemente mataram os cordeiros, e espargiram o sangue sobre o altar.
And so they slaughtered the bulls. And the priests took up the blood, and they poured it upon the altar. Then they also slaughtered the rams, and they poured their blood upon the altar. And they immolated the lambs, and they poured the blood upon the altar.
23 Então trouxeram os bodes para sacrifício pelo pecado, perante o rei e a congregação, e lhes impuzeram as suas mãos.
They brought the he-goats for sin before the king and the entire multitude. And they laid their hands upon them.
24 E os sacerdotes os mataram, e com o seu sangue fizeram expiação do pecado sobre o altar, para reconciliar a todo o Israel: porque o rei tinha ordenado que se fizesse aquele holocausto e sacrifício pelo pecado, por todo o Israel.
And the priests immolated them, and they sprinkled their blood before the altar, for the expiation of all Israel. For certainly the king had instructed that the holocaust and the sin offering should be made on behalf of all Israel.
25 E pôs os levitas na casa do Senhor com címbalos, com alaúdes, e com harpas, conforme ao mandado de David e de Gad, o vidente do rei, e do profeta Nathan: porque este mandado veio do Senhor, por mão de seus profetas.
Also, he situated the Levites in the house of the Lord, with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps, according to the disposition of king David, and of the seer Gad, and of the prophet Nathan. For indeed, this was the precept of the Lord, by the hand of his prophets.
26 Estavam pois os levitas em pé com os instrumentos de David, e os sacerdotes com as trombetas.
And the Levites stood, holding the musical instruments of David, and the priests held the trumpets.
27 E deu ordem Ezequias que oferecessem o holocausto sobre o altar, e ao tempo em que começou o holocausto, começou também o canto do Senhor, com as trombetas e com os instrumentos de David, rei de Israel.
And Hezekiah ordered that they should offer holocausts upon the altar. And when the holocausts were being offered, they began to sing praises to the Lord, and to sound the trumpets, and to play various musical instruments, which David, the king of Israel, had prepared.
28 E toda a congregação se prostrou, quando cantavam o canto, e as trombetas se tocavam: tudo isto até o holocausto se acabar.
Then the entire crowd was adoring, and the singers and those who were holding the trumpeters were exercising their office, until the holocaust was completed.
29 E acabando de o oferecer, o rei e todos quantos com ele se acharam se prostraram e adoraram.
And when the oblation was finished, the king, and all who were with him, bowed down and adored.
30 Então disse o rei Ezequias, e os maiorais, aos levitas que louvassem ao Senhor com as palavras de David, e d'Asaph, o vidente. E o louvaram com alegria e se inclinaram e adoraram.
And Hezekiah and the rulers instructed the Levites to praise the Lord with the words of David, and of Asaph, the seer. And they praised him with great joy, and kneeling down, they adored.
31 E respondeu Ezequias, e disse: Agora vos consagrastes a vós mesmos ao Senhor; chegai-vos e trazei sacrifícios e ofertas de louvor à casa do Senhor. E a congregação trouxe sacrifícios e ofertas de louvor, e todo o voluntário de coração, holocaustos.
And now Hezekiah also added: “You have filled your hands for the Lord. Draw near, and offer victims and praises in the house of the Lord.” Therefore, the entire multitude offered victims and praises and holocausts, with devout intention.
32 E o número dos holocaustos, que a congregação trouxe, foi de setenta bois, cem carneiros, duzentos cordeiros: tudo isto em holocausto para o Senhor.
Now the number of the holocausts that the multitude offered was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, two hundred lambs.
33 Houve, também de coisas consagradas, seiscentos bois e três mil ovelhas.
And they sanctified to the Lord six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
34 Eram porém os sacerdotes mui poucos, e não podiam esfolar a todos os holocaustos; pelo que seus irmãos os levitas os ajudaram, até a obra se acabar, e até que os outros sacerdotes se santificaram; porque os levitas foram mais retos de coração, para se santificarem, do que os sacerdotes.
Truly, the priests were few; neither were they sufficient to remove the pelts from the holocausts. Therefore, the Levites, their brothers, also assisted them, until the work was completed, and the priests, who were of higher rank, were sanctified. For indeed, the Levites are sanctified with an easier ritual than the priests.
35 E houve também holocaustos em abundância, com a gordura das ofertas pacíficas, e com as ofertas de licor para os holocaustos. Assim se estabeleceu o ministério da casa do Senhor.
Thus, there were very numerous holocausts, with the fat of the peace offerings and the libations of the holocausts. And the service of the house of the Lord was completed.
36 E Ezequias, e todo o povo se alegraram, de que Deus tinha preparado o povo; porque apressuradamente se fez esta obra.
And Hezekiah and all the people were joyful because the ministry of the Lord was accomplished. For certainly, it had pleased them to do this suddenly.
