2 Reis 23

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

And they brought the king word again what she had said. And he sent: and all the ancients of Juda and Jerusalem were assembled 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 went up to the temple of the Lord, and all the men of Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, the priests and the prophets, and all the people both little and great: and in the hearing of them all 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 made a covenant with the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies and his ceremonies, with all their heart, and with all their soul, and to perform the words of this covenant, which were 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 commanded Helcias the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers, to cast out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that had been made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burnt them without Jerusalem in the valley of Cedron, and he carried the ashes of them to 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 Juda had appointed to sacrifice in the high places in the cities of Juda, and round about Jerusalem: them also that burnt incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to the twelve signs, and to all the host 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 grove to be carried out from the house of the Lord without Jerusalem to the valley of Cedron, and he burnt it there, and reduced it to dust, and cast the dust upon 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.

He destroyed also the pavilions of the effeminate, which were in the house of the Lord, for which the women wove as it were little dwellings for the 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 out of the cities of Juda: and he defiled the high places, where the priests offered sacrifice, from Gabaa to Bersabee: and he broke down the altars of the gates that were in the entering in of the gate of Josue governor of tile city, which was on the left hand 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.

However the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem: but only ate of the unleavened bread among their brethren.

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.

And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom: that no man should consecrate there his son or his daughter through fire to Moloch.

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.

And he took away the horses which the kings of Juda had given to the sun, at the entering in of the temple of the Lord, near the chamber of Nathanmelech the eunuch, who was in Pharurim: and he burnt 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.

And the altars that were upon the top of the upper chamber of Achaz, which the kings of Juda had made, and the altars which Manasses had made in the two courts of the temple of the Lord, the king broke down: and he ran from thence, and cast the ashes of them into the torrent Cedron.

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.

The high places also that were at Jerusalem on the right side of the Mount of Offence, O which Solomon king of Israel had built to Astaroth the idol of the Sidonians, and to Chamos the scandal of Moab, and to Melchom the abomination of the children 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 broke in pieces the statues, and cut down the groves: and he filled their places with the bones of dead men.

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.

Moreover the altar also that was at Bethel, and the high place, which Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, had made: both the altar, and the high place he broke down and burnt, and reduced to powder, and burnt the 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 as Josias turned himself, he saw there the sepulchres that were in the mount: and he sent and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burnt them upon the altar, and defiled it according to the word of the Lord, which the man of God spoke, 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 veio de Judá, e apregoou estas coisas que fizeste contra este altar de Bethel.

And he said: What is that monument which I see? And the men of that city answered: It is the sepulchre of the man of God, who came from Juda, and foretold these things which thou hast done upon 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: Let him alone, let no man move his bones. So his bones were left untouched with the bones of the prophet that came out of 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.

Moreover all the temples of the high places, which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord, Josias took away: and he did to them according to all the acts 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 he slew all the priests of the high places, that were there, upon the altars: and he burnt men’s bones upon them: and 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 commanded all the people, saying: Keep the phase to the Lord your God, according as it is 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 there was no such a phase kept from the days of the judges, who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Juda,

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

As was this phase that was kept to the Lord in Jerusalem, in the eighteenth year of king Josias.

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.

Moreover the diviners by spirits, and soothsayers, and the figures of idols, and the uncleannesses, and the abominations, that had been in the land of Juda, and Jerusalem, Josias took away: that he might perform the words of the law, that were written in the book which Helcias the priest had 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 like unto him, that returned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with ail his strength, according to all the law of Moses: neither after him did there arise any like 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.

But yet the Lord turned not away from the wrath of his great indignation, wherewith his anger was kindled against Juda: because of the provocations, wherewith Manasses 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 the Lord said: I will remove Juda also from before my face, as I have removed Israel: and I will cast off this city Jerusalem, which I chose, and the house, of 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 acts of Josias, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?

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.

In his days Pharao Nechao king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josias went to meet him: and was slain at Mageddo, when he had seen him.

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 Mageddo: and they brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in Iris own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias: and they anointed him, and made him king in his father’s stead.

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.

Joachaz was three and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Amital, the daughter of Jeremias of Lobna.

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 Pharao Nechao bound him at Rebla, which is in the land of Emath, that he should not reign in Jerusalem: and he set a fine upon the land, of a hundred talents of silver, and a 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 Pharao Nechao made Eliacim the son of Josias king in the room of Josias his father: and turned his name to Joakim. And he took Joachaz away and carried him into Egypt, and he died there.

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.

And Joakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharao, after he had taxed the land for every man, to contribute according to the commandment of Pharao: and he exacted both the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every man according to his ability: to give to Pharao Nechao.

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.

Joakim was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Zebida the daughter of Phadaia of Ruma.

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

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