2 Crônicas 29

1 E Ezequias começou a reinar sendo de vinte e cinco anos, e reinou vinte e nove anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe foi Abia, filha de Zacarias.

Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old; and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Abijah the daughter of Zechariah.

2 E fez o que era correto aos olhos do SENHOR, conforme a todas as coisas que havia feito Davi seu pai.

And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.

3 No primeiro ano de seu reinado, no mês primeiro, abriu as portas da casa do SENHOR, e as reparou.

He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired them.

4 E fez vir os sacerdotes e levitas, e juntou-os na praça oriental.

And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the broad place on the east;

5 E disse-lhes: Ouvi-me, levitas, e santificai-vos agora, e santificareis a casa do SENHOR o Deus de vossos pais, e tirareis do santuário a imundícia.

and said unto them: 'Hear me, ye Levites: now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD, the God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.

6 Porque nossos pais se rebelaram, e fizeram o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR nosso Deus; que lhe deixaram, e apartaram seus olhos do tabernáculo do SENHOR, e lhe voltaram as costas.

For our fathers have acted treacherously, and done that which was evil in the sight of the LORD our God, and have forsaken Him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.

7 E ainda fecharam as portas do pórtico, e apagaram as lâmpadas; não queimaram incenso, nem sacrificaram holocausto no santuário ao Deus de Israel.

Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt-offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel.

8 Portanto a ira do SENHOR veio sobre Judá e Jerusalém, e os entregou à aflição, ao espanto, e ao escárnio, como vedes vós com vossos olhos.

Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and He hath delivered them to be a horror, an astonishment, and a hissing, as ye see with your eyes.

9 E eis que nossos pais caíram à espada, nossos filhos e nossas filhas e nossas mulheres estão em cativeiro por isso.

For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.

10 Agora, pois, eu determinei fazer aliança com o SENHOR o Deus de Israel, para que afaste de nós a ira de seu furor.

Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with the LORD, the God of Israel, that His fierce anger may turn away from us.

11 Filhos meus, não vos enganeis agora, porque o SENHOR vos escolheu para que estejais diante dele, e lhe sirvais, e sejais seus ministros, e lhe queimeis incenso.

My sons, be not now negligent; for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before Him, to minister unto Him, and that ye should be His ministers, and offer unto Him.'

12 Então os levitas se levantaram, Maate filho de Amasai, e Joel filho de Azarias, dos filhos de Coate; e dos filhos de Merari, Quis filho de Abdi, e Azarias filho de Jealelel; e dos filhos de Gérson, Joá filho de Zima, e Éden filho de Joá;

Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah;

13 E dos filhos de Elisafã, Sinri e Jeuel; e dos filhos de Asafe, Zacarias e Matanias;

and of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeiel; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;

14 E dos filhos de Hemã, Jeiel e Simei; e dos filhos de Jedutum, Semaías e Uziel.

and of the sons of Heman, Jehiel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.

15 Estes juntaram a seus irmãos, e santificaram-se, e entraram, conforme ao mandamento do rei e as palavras do SENHOR, para limpar a casa do SENHOR.

And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and went in, according to the commandment of the king by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD.

16 E entrando os sacerdotes dentro da casa do SENHOR para limpá-la, tiraram toda a imundícia que acharam no templo do SENHOR, ao átrio da casa do SENHOR; a qual tomaram os levitas, para tirá-la fora ao ribeiro de Cedrom.

And the priests went in unto the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad to the brook Kidron.

17 E começaram a santificar o primeiro do mês primeiro, e aos oito do mesmo mês vieram ao pórtico do SENHOR: e santificaram a casa do SENHOR em oito dias, e no dezesseis do mês primeiro acabaram.

Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the LORD; and they sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days; and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.

18 Logo passaram ao rei Ezequias e disseram-lhe: Já limpamos toda a casa do SENHOR, o altar do holocausto, e todos seus instrumentos, e a mesa da proposição com todos seus utensílios.

Then they went in to Hezekiah the king within the palace, and said: 'We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, even the altar of burnt-offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the table of showbread, with all the vessels thereof.

19 Assim preparamos e santificamos todos os vasos que em sua transgressão havia descartado o rei Acaz, quando reinava: e eis que estão diante do altar do SENHOR.

Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away when he acted treacherously, have we prepared and sanctified; and, behold, they are before the altar of the LORD.'

20 E levantando-se de manhã o rei Ezequias reuniu os principais da cidade, e subiu à casa do SENHOR.

Then Hezekiah the king arose early, and gathered the princes of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD.

21 E apresentaram sete novilhos, sete carneiros, sete cordeiros, e sete bodes, para expiação pelo reino, pelo santuário e por Judá. E disse aos sacerdotes filhos de Arão, que os oferecessem sobre o altar do SENHOR.

And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he-goats, for a sin-offering for the kingdom and for the sanctuary and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of the LORD.

22 Mataram, pois, os bois, e os sacerdotes tomaram a sangue, e espargiram-na sobre o altar; mataram logo os carneiros, e espargiram o sangue sobre o altar; também mataram os cordeiros, e espargiram o sangue sobre o altar.

So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and dashed it against the altar; and they killed the rams, and dashed the blood against the altar; they killed also the lambs, and dashed the blood against the altar.

23 Fizeram depois chegar os bodes da expiação diante do rei e da multidão, e puseram sobre eles suas mãos:

And they brought near the he-goats for the sin-offering before the king and the congregation, and they laid their hands upon them;

24 E os sacerdotes os mataram, e expiando espargiram o sangue deles sobre o altar, para reconciliar a todo Israel: porque por todo Israel mandou o rei fazer o holocausto e a expiação.

and the priests killed them, and they made a sin-offering with their blood upon the altar, to make atonement for all Israel; for the king commanded that the burnt-offering and the sin-offering should be made for all Israel.

25 Pôs também levitas na casa do SENHOR com címbalos, e saltérios, e harpas, conforme ao mandamento de Davi, e de Gade vidente do rei, e de Natã profeta: porque aquele mandamento foi por mão do SENHOR, por meio de seus profetas.

And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was of the LORD by His prophets.

26 E os levitas estavam com os instrumentos de Davi, e os sacerdotes com trombetas.

And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

27 Então mandou Ezequias sacrificar o holocausto no altar; e ao tempo que começou o holocausto, começou também o cântico do SENHOR, com as trombetas e os instrumentos de Davi rei de Israel.

And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt-offering upon the altar. And when the burnt-offering began, the song of the LORD began also, and the trumpets, together with the instruments of David king of Israel.

28 E toda a multidão adorava, e os cantores cantavam, e os trombetas soavam as trombetas; tudo até acabar-se o holocausto.

And all the congregation prostrated themselves, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt-offering was finished.

29 E quando acabaram de oferecer, inclinou-se o rei, e todos os que com ele estavam, e adoraram.

And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves and prostrated themselves.

30 Então o rei Ezequias e os príncipes disseram aos levitas que louvassem ao SENHOR pelas palavras de Davi e de Asafe vidente: e eles louvaram com grande alegria, e inclinando-se adoraram.

Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praises unto the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and prostrated themselves.

31 E respondendo Ezequias disse: Vós vos haveis consagrado agora ao SENHOR; achegai-vos pois, e apresentai sacrifícios e louvores na casa do SENHOR. E a multidão apresentou sacrifícios e louvores; e todo generoso de coração, holocaustos.

Then Hezekiah answered and said: 'Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of the LORD.' And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank-offerings; and as many as were of a willing heart brought burnt-offerings.

32 E foi o número dos holocaustos que trouxe a congregação, setenta bois, cem carneiros, duzentos cordeiros; tudo para o holocausto do SENHOR.

And the number of the burnt-offerings, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs; all these were for a burnt-offering to the LORD.

33 E as ofertas foram seiscentos bois, e três mil ovelhas.

And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.

34 Mas os sacerdotes eram poucos, e não podiam o suficiente a tirar o couro dos holocaustos; e assim seus irmãos os levitas lhes ajudaram até que acabaram a obra, e até que os sacerdotes se santificaram: porque os levitas tiveram maior prontidão de coração para se santificarem que os sacerdotes.

But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt-offerings; wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the priests had sanctified themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.

35 Assim, pois, havia grande abundância de holocaustos, com gorduras de ofertas pacíficas, e libações de cada holocausto. E ficou ordenado o serviço da casa do SENHOR.

And also the burnt-offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace-offerings, and the drink-offerings for every burnt-offering. So the service of the house of the LORD was firmly established.

36 E alegrou-se Ezequias, e todo o povo, de que Deus houvesse preparado o povo; porque a coisa foi prontamente feita.

And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, because of that which God had prepared for the people; for the thing was done suddenly.
