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.

And, Hezekiah, began to reign when he was twenty-five years old, and, twenty-nine years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Abijah, 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 Yahweh, —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 Yahweh, 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 in the broadway 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, O Levites! Now, hallow yourselves, and hallow the house of Yahweh, God of your fathers, and take forth the impure thing 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 unfaithfully and done the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh our God, and have forsaken him, -and have turned round their faces from the habitation of Yahweh, and have offered 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.

Moreover they have shut up the doors of the porch, and have quenched the lamps, and, incense, have they not burned, -and, ascending-sacrifice, have they not caused to go up 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.

Thus hath it come to pass, that, the wrath of Yahweh, hath been upon Judah and Jerusalem, —and he hath delivered them up as a terror and as an astonishment and as hissing, even as, ye, can see with your own eyes.

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

And 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, is it near my heart, to solemnise a covenant unto Yahweh, God of Israel, —that he may turn from him the glow of his anger.

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! now, do not be faulty, —for, of you, hath Yahweh made choice, to stand before him, and to wait upon him, and to be his attendants and burners of incense.

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 arose the Levites—Mahath son of Amasai, and Joel son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites, and, of the sons of Merari, Kish son of Abdi, and Azariah son of Jehallelel, —and, of the Gershonites, Joah son of Zimmah, and Eden 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 together their brethren, who hallowed themselves, and came in according to the command of the king, in the things of Yahweh, —to purify the house of Yahweh.

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.

So the priests entered into the inner part of the house of Yahweh, to make purification, and they brought out every unclean thing which they found in the temple of Yahweh, into the court of the house of Yahweh, —where the Levites received it, to carry it forth to the Kidron ravine outside.

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.

And they began, on the first of the first month, to hallow, —and, on the eighth day of the month, they came to the porch of Yahweh, so they hallowed the house of Yahweh in eight days, —and, on the sixteenth day of the first month, they finished.

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 came they in unto Hezekiah the king, and said, We have purified all the house of Yahweh, —the altar of ascending-sacrifice, and all the utensils thereof, and the table for setting in array, and all the utensils 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.

And, all the utensils which King Ahaz in his reign rejected when he acted unfaithfully, have we made ready and hallowed, —and, there they are, before the altar of Yahweh.

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

So Hezekiah the king rose up early, and gathered together the rulers of the city, —and went up to the house of Yahweh.

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 in seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven young sheep, and seven he-goats for bearing sin, for the kingdom and for the sanctuary and for Judah, —and he bade the sons of Aaron, the priests, cause them to ascend upon the altar of Yahweh.

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 slaughtered the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and dashed it against the altar, —and they slaughtered the rams, and dashed the blood against the altar, and slaughtered the young sheep, 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 bearing sin, before the king, and the convocation, —and they leaned 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 slaughtered them, and sin-cleansed, with their blood, the altar, to put a propitiatory-covering over all Israel, -because, for all Israel, did the king appoint the ascending-sacrifice and the offering for bearing sin.

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 caused the Levites to stand in the house of Yahweh, with cymbals and with harps and with lyres, by the commandment of David, and of Gad the seer of the king, and of Nathan the prophet, —for, by the hand of Yahweh, came the commandment by the hand of his prophets.

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

So the Levites took their stand, 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 gave word, to cause the ascending-sacrifice to go up on the altar, —and, when the ascending-sacrifice began, the singing unto Yahweh began, and the trumpets, even under the direction of 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 convocation, were bowing themselves in prostration, and, the song, was resounding and the trumpets were blowing, -the whole, until the completing of the ascending-sacrifice.

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

And, when the offering was complete, the king knelt down and all who were present with him, and bowed themselves in prostration.

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.

And Hezekiah the king and the rulers gave word to the Levites, to offer praise unto Yahweh, in the words of David, and of Asaph the seer, —so they offered praise right joyfully, and bent their heads and bowed themselves in prostration.

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 responded Hezekiah and said—Now, have ye consecrated yourselves unto Yahweh. Draw near, and bring in sacrifices and thank-offerings unto the house of Yahweh, -So the convocation brought sacrifices and thank-offerings, and, everyone of a willing heart, [brought] ascending-sacrifices.

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

And it came to pass that, the number of ascending-sacrifices which the convocation brought, was—seventy bullocks, and a hundred rams, and two hundred young sheep, —as an ascending-sacrifice unto Yahweh, all these.

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

But, the hallowed beasts, were six hundred bullocks, 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.

Only, the priests, were too few, and were unable to flay all the ascending-sacrifices, —so their brethren the Levites strengthened them, until the work was complete and until the priests had hallowed themselves, for, the Levites, were more upright in heart to hallow 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.

Moreover also, the ascending-sacrifices, were in abundance, with the fat portions of the peace-offerings, and with the drink-offerings to every ascending-sacrifice, -thus was established the service of the house of Yahweh.

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 God had established it for the people, —for, suddenly, had the thing come about.
