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.
Hezekiah was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years. His mother's name 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.
He did what was right in the Lord's sight, just as his forefather 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 month of the first year of his reign, Hezekiah opened the doors of the Lord's Temple and repaired them.
4 E trouxe os sacerdotes, e os levitas, e os ajuntou na praça oriental,
He summoned the priests and the Levites, and had them gather on the square to the east.
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.
He told them, “Listen to me, Levites. Purify yourselves now and purify the Temple of the Lord, the God of your forefathers. Take away from the Holy Place everything that is filthy.
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.
For our fathers were sinful, and did what was evil in the Lord's sight. They abandoned him and paid no attention to the Lord's Temple, turning their backs on him.
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 shut the doors at the entrance to the Temple and put out the lamps. They didn't burn incense or present burnt offerings at 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.
So the Lord's anger fell on Judah and Jerusalem, and he made them into something appalling, terrifying, and ridiculous, as you can see for yourselves.
9 Porque eis que nossos pais cairam à espada, e nossos filhos, e nossas filhas, e nossas mulheres por isso estiveram em cativeiro.
As a result, our fathers have died in battle, and our sons and our daughters and our wives have been captured.
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
But now I'm going to make an agreement with the Lord, the God of Israel, so that his fierce anger will no longer fall on 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, don't neglect your responsibilities, for the Lord has chosen you to stand in his presence to serve him, and to be his ministers presenting burnt offerings.”
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;
Then the Levites went to work. They were Mahath, son of Amasai, and Joel, son of Azariah, from the Kohathites; Kish, son of Abdi, and Azariah, son of Jehallelel, from the Merarites; Joah, son of Zimmah, and Eden, son of Joah, from the Gershonites;
13 E dentre os filhos de Elisaphan, Simri e Jeiel: dentre os filhos d'Asaph, Zacarias e Matthanias:
from the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeiel; and 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.
from the sons of Heman, Jehiel and Shimei; and 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.
They called together the other Levites and all of them purified themselves. Then they went in to clean the Lord's Temple, as the king had commanded, following the instructions as required by the Lord.
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.
The priests went into the inner sanctuary of the Lord's Temple to clean it. They removed all the unclean things that they found in the Lord's Temple and placed them in the Temple courtyard. Then the Levites took them out and carried them to the Kidron Valley.
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.
They started the work of purification on the first day of the first month, and by the eighth day of the month they had reached the Temple porch. For eight more days they worked on purifying the Temple itself, and finished on the sixteenth day of the first month.
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.
Then they went in to tell King Hezekiah, “We have cleaned the entire Temple of the Lord, the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the table of the showbread with all its utensils.
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
We have recovered and purified all the items that King Ahaz threw away during his reign when he was unfaithful. They are now before the Lord's altar.”
20 Então o rei Ezequias se levantou de madrugada, e ajuntou os maiorais da cidade, e subiu à casa do Senhor.
King Hezekiah got up early, summoned the city officials, and went to the Lord's Temple.
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.
They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven male lambs, and seven male goats as a sin offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. The king ordered the priests, the descendants of Aaron, to offer them on 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.
So they killed the bulls, and the priests took the blood and sprinkled it on the altar. They killed the rams and sprinkled the blood on the altar. They killed the lambs and sprinkled the blood on the altar.
23 Então trouxeram os bodes para sacrifício pelo pecado, perante o rei e a congregação, e lhes impuzeram as suas mãos.
Then they brought the goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly, who placed their hands on 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.
Then the priests killed the goats and placed their blood on the altar for a sin offering, to make atonement for the whole of Israel, because the king had ordered that the burnt offering and sin offering were for the whole of 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.
Hezekiah had the Levites stand in the Lord's Temple with cymbals, harps, and lyres, following the instructions of David, Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet. The instructions had come from the Lord through His prophets.
26 Estavam pois os levitas em pé com os instrumentos de David, e os sacerdotes com as trombetas.
The Levites stood with the musical instruments provided by David, with the priests holding their 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.
Then Hezekiah gave the order for the burnt offering to be offered on the altar. As the burnt offering began, the song of the Lord began at the same time, the trumpets sounded, and music was played on the instruments of David, once king of Israel.
28 E toda a congregação se prostrou, quando cantavam o canto, e as trombetas se tocavam: tudo isto até o holocausto se acabar.
All the people in the assembly were worshiping, the singers were singing, and the trumpeters were playing. This continued until the burnt offering was finished.
29 E acabando de o oferecer, o rei e todos quantos com ele se acharam se prostraram e adoraram.
Once the offerings were completed, the king and everyone there with him bowed down and worshiped.
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.
Then King Hezekiah and his officials ordered the Levites to sing praises to the Lord using the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with joy, and bowed their heads and worshiped.
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.
Then Hezekiah told them, “Now that you have dedicated yourselves to the Lord, come and bring your sacrifices and thank offerings to the Lord's Temple.” So the people in the assembly brought their sacrifices and thank offerings, and everyone who wanted to brought burnt offerings.
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.
The total number of burnt offerings they brought was seventy bulls, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs; all these were to be a burnt offering to the Lord.
33 Houve, também de coisas consagradas, seiscentos bois e três mil ovelhas.
In addition there were dedicated offerings of six hundred bulls 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.
Since there weren't enough priests to skin all the burnt offerings, their Levite relatives helped them until the work was finished and the priests had been purified. (The Levites had been more conscientious in purifying themselves than the priests had.)
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.
Apart from the large number of burnt offerings, there was the fat of the friendship offerings, as well as the drink offerings that went with the burnt offerings. In this way the service of the Lord's Temple was restored.
36 E Ezequias, e todo o povo se alegraram, de que Deus tinha preparado o povo; porque apressuradamente se fez esta obra.
Hezekiah and everyone there were so happy at what God done for the people, because everything had been achieved so quickly.
