2 Reis 23

1 Então o rei enviou, e todos os anciãos de Judá e de Jerusalém se ajuntaram a ele.

And they reported to the king what she had said. And he sent, and all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem were gathered to him.

2 E o rei subiu à casa do Senhor, e com ele todos os homens de Judá, e todos o moradores de Jerusalém, e os sacerdotes, e os profetas, e todo o povo, desde o mais pequeno até ao maior: e leu aos ouvidos deles todas as palavras do livro do concerto, que se achou na casa do Senhor.

And the king ascended to the temple of the Lord. And with him were all the men of Judah and all who were living in Jerusalem: the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, from the small to the great. And in the hearing of everyone, he read all the words of the book of the covenant, which was found in the house of the Lord.

3 E o rei se pôs em pé junto à coluna, e fez o concerto perante o Senhor, para andarem atráz 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 deste concerto, que estavam escritas naquele livro; e todo o povo esteve por este concerto.

And the king stood upon the step. And he struck a covenant before the Lord, so that they would walk after the Lord, and keep his precepts and testimonies and ceremonies, with all their heart and with all their soul, and so that they would carry out the words of this covenant, which had been written in that book. And the people agreed to the covenant.

4 E o rei mandou ao sumo 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 exército dos céus: e os queimou fora de Jerusalém, nos campos de Cedron, e levou o pó deles a Bethel.

And the king instructed Hilkiah, the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers, so that they would cast out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels which had been made for Baal, and for the sacred grove, and for the entire army of heaven. And he burned them outside of Jerusalem, in the steep valley of Kidron. And he carried their dust into Bethel.

5 Também abrogou os sacerdotes que os reis de Judá estabeleceram para incensarem sobre os altos nas cidades de Judá, e ao redor de Jerusalém, como também os que incensavam a Baal, ao sol, e à lua, e aos mais planetas, e a todo o exército dos céus.

And he destroyed the soothsayers, whom the kings of Judah had appointed to sacrifice in the high places throughout the cities of Judah, and all around Jerusalem, along with those who were burning incense to Baal, and to the Sun, and to the Moon, and to the twelve signs, and to the entire army of heaven.

6 Também tirou da casa do Senhor o bosque para fora de Jerusalém 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 caused the sacred grove to be carried away from the house of the Lord, outside of Jerusalem, to the steep valley of Kidron. And he burned it there, and reduced it to dust. And he cast the dust over the graves of the common people.

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

Also, he destroyed the small places of the effeminate, which were in the house of the Lord, for which the women were weaving something like little houses in the sacred grove.

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

And he gathered together all the priests from the cities of Judah. And he defiled the high places, where the priests were sacrificing, from Geba as far as Beersheba. And he tore down the altars of the gates at the entrance to the gate of Joshua, the leader of the city, which was to the left of the gate of the city.

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

Yet truly, the priests of the high places did not ascend to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem. For they would only eat from the unleavened bread in the midst of their brothers.

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

Also, he defiled Topheth, which is in the steep valley of the son of Hinnom, so that no one would consecrate his son or his daughter, through fire, to Molech.

11 Também tirou os cavalos que os reis de Judá tinham ordenado para o sol, à entrada da casa do Senhor, perto da câmara de Nathan-melech, o eunuco, que estava no precinto: e os carros do sol queimou a fogo.

Also, he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the Sun, at the entrance to the temple of the Lord, beside the hallway of Nathan-melech, the eunuch, who was in Pharurim. And he burned the chariots of the Sun with fire.

12 Também o rei derribou os altares que estavam sobre o terraço do cenáculo de Achaz, os quais fizeram os reis de Judá, como também o rei derribou os altares que fizera Manasseh nos dois átrios da casa do Senhor: e esmiuçados os tirou dali, e lançou o pó deles no ribeiro de Cedron.

Also, the altars which were upon the roof of the upper room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the temple of the Lord, the king destroyed. And he hurried from there, and he scattered their ashes into the torrent Kidron.

13 O rei profanou também os altos que estavam defronte de Jerusalém, à mão direita do monte de Mashith, os quais edificara Salomão, rei de Israel, a Astoreth, a abominação dos sidônios, e a Camos, a abominação dos moabitas, e a Milcom, a abominação dos filhos de Ammon.

Also, the high places which were in Jerusalem, to the right side of the Mount of Offense, which Solomon, the king of Israel, had built to Ashtoreth, the idol of the Sidonians, and to Chemosh, the offense of Moab, and to Milcom, the abomination of the sons of Ammon, the king defiled.

14 Semelhantemente quebrou as estátuas, e cortou os bosques, e encheu o seu lugar com ossos de homens.

And he crushed the statues, and he cut down the sacred groves. And he filled their places with the bones of the dead.

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

Then too, the altar which was in Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, had made: both that altar and the high place he tore down, and burned, and reduced to dust. And then he also set fire to the sacred grove.

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 aquele altar, e assim o profanou, conforme palavra do Senhor, que apregoara o homem de Deus, quando apregoou estas palavras.

And in that place Josiah, turning, saw the sepulchers which were on the mount. And he sent and took the bones from the sepulchers. And he burned them upon the altar, and he defiled it in accord with the word of the Lord, which was spoken by the man of God, who had predicted these events.

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

And he said, “What is that monument that I see?” And the citizens of that city responded to him: “It is the sepulcher of the man of God, who came from Judah, and who predicted these events, which you have carried out concerning the altar of Bethel.”

18 E disse: deixai-o estar; ninguém mexa nos seus ossos. Assim deixaram estar os seus ossos com os ossos do profeta que viera de Samaria.

And he said: “Permit him. Let no one move his bones.” And his bones have remained untouched, with the bones of the prophet who had arrived from Samaria.

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

Then too, all the shrines of the high places, which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord, Josiah took away. And he acted toward them according to all the works that 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 eles: depois voltou a Jerusalém.

And all the priests of the high places, who were in that place, he killed upon the altars. And he burned the bones of the men upon them. And he returned to Jerusalem.

21 E o rei deu ordem a todo o povo, dizendo: celebrai a pascoa ao Senhor vosso Deus, como está escrito no livro do concerto.

And he instructed all the people, saying: “Keep the Passover to the Lord your God, according to what has been written in the book of this covenant.”

22 Porque nunca se celebrou tal pascoa como esta desde os dias dos juízes que julgaram a Israel, nem em todos os dias dos reis de Israel, nem tão pouco dos reis de Judá.

Now no similar Passover was kept, from the days of the judges, who judged Israel, and from all the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah,

23 Porém no ano décimo oitavo do rei Josias esta pascoa se celebrou ao Senhor em Jerusalém.

as this Passover, which was kept to the Lord in Jerusalem, in the eighteenth year of king Josiah.

24 E também os adivinhos, e os feiticeiros, e os terafins, e os ídolos, e todas as abominações que se viam na terra de Judá e em Jerusalém, os extirpou Josias, para confirmar as palavras da lei, que estavam escritas no livro que o sacerdote Hilkias achara na casa do Senhor.

Then too, Josiah took away those who divined by spirits, and the soothsayers, and the images of the idols, and the defilements, and the abominations, which had been in the land of Judah and Jerusalem, so that he might establish the words of the law, which were written in the book, which Hilkiah, the priest, found in the temple of the Lord.

25 E antes dele não houve rei semelhante, 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 Moisés: e depois dele nunca se levantou outro tal.

There was no king before him similar to him, who returned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his strength, in accord with the entire law of Moses. And after him, there rose up no one similar to him.

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

Yet truly, the Lord did not turn away from the wrath of his great fury, his fury which was enraged against Judah because of the provocations by which Manasseh had provoked him.

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

And so the Lord said: “And now I will remove Judah from my face, just as I removed Israel. And I will cast aside this city, Jerusalem, which I have chosen, and the house, about which I said: My name shall be there.”

28 Ora o mais dos sucessos de Josias, e tudo quanto fez, porventura não está escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?

Now the rest of the words of Josiah, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?

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

During his days, Pharaoh Neco, the king of Egypt, ascended against the king of the Assyrians to the river Euphrates. And king Josiah went out to meet him. And when he had seen him, he was killed at Megiddo.

30 E seus servos o levaram morto de Megiddo, e o trouxeram a Jerusalém, 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 lugar de seu pai.

And his servants carried him dead from Megiddo. And they took him to Jerusalem, and they buried him in his own sepulcher. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah. And they anointed him, and made him king in place of his father.

31 Tinha Joachaz vinte e três anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e três meses reinou em Jerusalém: e era o nome de sua mãe Hamutal, filha de Jeremias, de Libna.

Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah, from Libnah.

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

And he did evil before the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.

33 Porém faraó Neco o mandou prender em Ribla, em terra de Hamath, para que não reinasse em Jerusalém: e à terra impoz pena de cem talentos de prata e um talento de ouro.

And Pharaoh Neco bound him at Riblah, which is in the land of Hamath, so that he would not reign in Jerusalem. And he imposed a penalty on the land: one hundred talents of silver, and one talent of gold.

34 Também faraó Neco estabeleceu rei a Eliakim, filho de Josias, em lugar de seu pai Josias, e lhe mudou o nome em Joaquim: porém a Joachaz tomou consigo, e veio ao Egito e morreu ali.

And Pharaoh Neco appointed Eliakim, the son of Josiah, as king in place of Josiah his father. And he changed his name to Jehoiakim. Then he took Jehoahaz away, and he brought him into Egypt, and there he died.

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

Now Jehoiakim gave silver and gold to Pharaoh, when he had taxed the land, according to each one who would contribute by the command of Pharaoh. And he exacted both silver and gold from the people of the land, from each one according to his ability, so that he would give to Pharaoh Neco.

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

Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Zebidah, the daughter of Pedaiah, from Rumah.

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

And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that his fathers had done.
