2 Crônicas 34

1 De oito anos era Josias quando começou a reinar, e trinta e um anos reinou em Jerusalém.

Josiah was eight years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for thirty-one years in Jerusalem.

2 Este fez o que era correto aos olhos do SENHOR, e andou nos caminhos de Davi seu pai, sem desviar-se à direita nem à esquerda.

And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, and he walked in the ways of his father David. He did not turn away, neither to the right, nor to the left.

3 A os oito anos de seu reinado, sendo ainda jovem, começou a buscar ao Deus de Davi seu pai; e aos doze anos começou a limpar a Judá e a Jerusalém dos altos, bosques, esculturas, e imagens de fundição.

Now in the eighth year of his reign, when he was still a boy, he began to seek the God of his father David. And in the twelfth year after he had begun to reign, he cleansed Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the sacred groves, and the idols, and the graven images.

4 E derrubaram diante dele os altares dos baalins, e fez pedaços as imagens do sol, que estavam postas encima; despedaçou também os bosques, e as esculturas e estátuas de fundição, e esmigalhou-as, e dispersou o pó sobre os sepulcros dos que a elas haviam sacrificado.

And in his sight, they destroyed the altars of the Baals, and they demolished the idols which had been set upon them. And then he cut down the sacred groves and crushed the graven images. And he scattered the fragments upon the tombs of those who had been accustomed to immolate to them.

5 Queimou ademais os ossos dos sacerdotes sobre seus altares, e limpou a Judá e a Jerusalém.

And after that, he burned the bones of the priests upon the altars of the idols. And so did he cleanse Judah and Jerusalem.

6 O mesmo fez nas cidades de Manassés, Efraim, e Simeão, até em Naftali, com seus lugares assolados ao redor.

Then too, in the cities of Manasseh, and of Ephraim, and of Simeon, even to Naphtali, he overturned everything.

7 E quando havia derrubado os altares e os bosques, e quebrado e esmigalhado as esculturas, e destruído todos os ídolos por toda a terra de Israel, voltou-se a Jerusalém.

And when he had destroyed the altars and the sacred groves, and had broken the idols to pieces, and when all the profane shrines had been demolished from the entire land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.

8 Aos dezoito anos de seu reinado, depois de haver limpado a terra, e a casa, enviou a Safã filho de Azalias, e a Maaseias governador da cidade, e a Joá filho de Jeoacaz, chanceler, para que reparassem a casa do SENHOR seu Deus.

And so, in the eighteenth year of his reign, having now cleansed the land and the temple of the Lord, he sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah, the ruler of the city, and Joah, the son of Joahaz, the historian, to repair the house of the Lord his God.

9 Os quais vieram a Hilquias, grande sacerdote, e deram o dinheiro que havia sido posto na casa do SENHOR, que os levitas que guardavam a porta haviam recolhido da mão de Manassés e de Efraim e de todas as restantes de Israel, e de todo Judá e Benjamim, havendo depois voltado a Jerusalém.

And they went to Hilkiah, the high priest. And having accepted from him the money which had been brought into the house of the Lord, and which the Levites and porters had gathered together from Manasseh, and Ephraim, and the entire remnant of Israel, and also from all of Judah, and Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem,

10 E entregaram-no em mão dos que faziam a obra, que eram capatazes na casa do SENHOR; os quais o davam aos que faziam a obra e trabalhavam na casa do SENHOR, para reparar e restaurar o templo.

they delivered it into the hands of those who were in charge of the workers in the house of the Lord, so that they might repair the temple, and restore whatever was weak.

11 Davam também aos oficiais e pedreiros para que comprassem pedra lavrada, e madeira para as juntas, e para cobertura das casas, as quais haviam destruído os reis de Judá.

And they gave it to the artisans and the stoneworkers, so that they might buy stones from the quarries, and wood for the joints of the building and for the upper floors of the houses, which the kings of Judah had destroyed.

12 E estes homens procediam com fidelidade na obra: e eram seus governadores Jaate e Obadias, levitas dos filhos de Merari; e Zacarias e Mesulão dos filhos de Coate, para que ativassem a obra; e dos levitas, todos os entendidos em instrumentos musicais.

And they did everything faithfully. Now the overseers of the workers were Jahath and Obadiah, from the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, from the sons of Kohath, who were supervising the work. All were Levites who knew how to play musical instruments.

13 Também supervisionavam sobre os operários, e eram capatazes dos que se ocupavam em qualquer classe de obra; e dos levitas havia escribas, governadores, e porteiros.

Truly, scribes and teachers, from among the Levites who were porters, were over those who were carrying burdens for various uses.

14 E ao tirar o dinheiro que havia sido posto na casa do SENHOR, Hilquias o sacerdote achou o livro da lei do SENHOR dada por meio de Moisés.

And when they carried out the money that had been brought into the temple of the Lord, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of the Lord by the hand of Moses.

15 E dando conta Hilquias, disse a Safã escriba: Eu ei achado o livro da lei na casa do SENHOR. E deu Hilquias o livro a Safã.

And he said to Shaphan, the scribe: “I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord.” And he delivered it to him.

16 E Safã o levou ao rei, e contou-lhe o negócio, dizendo: Teus servos cumpriram tudo o que lhes foi encarregado.

Then he took the volume to the king, and he reported to him, saying: “Behold, everything that you entrusted to your servants is completed.

17 Reuniram o dinheiro que se achou na casa do SENHOR, e o entregaram em mão dos comissionados, e em mão dos que fazem a obra.

They have melted together the silver that was found in the house of the Lord. And it has been given to the overseers of the artisans and craftsmen for various works.

18 A mais disto, declarou Safã escriba ao rei, dizendo: O sacerdote Hilquias me deu um livro. E leu Safã nele diante do rei.

After this, Hilkiah the priest gave to me this book.” And when he had read it in the presence of the king,

19 E logo que o rei ouviu as palavras da lei, rasgou suas vestes;

and he had heard the words of the law, he tore his garments.

20 E mandou a Hilquias e a Aicã filho de Safã, e a Abdom filho de Mica, e a Safã escriba, e a Asaías servo do rei, dizendo:

And he instructed Hilkiah, and Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Abdon, the son of Micah, and also Shaphan, the scribe, and Asaiah, the servant of the king, saying:

21 Andai, e consultai ao SENHOR de mim, e dos restantes de Israel e de Judá, acerca das palavras do livro que se achou; porque grande é o furor do SENHOR que há caído sobre nós, porquanto nossos pais não guardaram a palavra do SENHOR, para fazer conforme tudo o que está escrito neste livro.

“Go, and pray to the Lord for me, and for the remnant of Israel and Judah, concerning all the words of this book, which has been found. For the great fury of the Lord has rained down upon us, because our fathers did not keep the words of the Lord, to do all that has been written in this volume.”

22 Então Hilquias e os do rei foram a Hulda profetisa, mulher de Salum, filho de Tocate, filho de Harás, guarda das vestimentas, a qual morava em Jerusalém na segunda parte [da cidade] e disseram-lhe as palavras ditas.

Therefore, Hilkiah, and those who had been sent with him by the king, went to Huldah, the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, the keeper of the vestments. She was living in Jerusalem, in the second part. And they spoke to her the words which we explained above.

23 E ela respondeu: o SENHOR o Deus de Israel disse assim: Dizei ao homem que vos enviou a mim, que assim disse o SENHOR:

And she responded to them: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Tell the man who sent you to me:

24 Eis que eu trago mal sobre este lugar, e sobre os moradores dele, e todas as maldições que estão escritas no livro que leram diante do rei de Judá:

Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will lead in evils over this place, and over its inhabitants, with all the curses that have been written in this book, which they have read before the king of Judah.

25 Por quanto me deixaram, e sacrificaram a deuses alheios, provocando-me à ira em todas as obras de suas mãos; portanto meu furor destilará sobre este lugar, e não se apagará.

For they have abandoned me, and they have sacrificed to foreign gods, so that they provoked me to wrath by all the works of their hands. Therefore, my fury will rain down upon this place, and it will not be extinguished.

26 Mas ao rei de Judá, que vos enviou a consultar ao SENHOR, assim lhe direis: o SENHOR o Deus de Israel disse assim: Porquanto ouviste as palavras do livro,

To the king of Judah, who sent you to petition before the Lord, so shall you speak: Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Since you listened to the words of this volume,

27 E teu coração se enterneceu, e te humilhaste diante de Deus ao ouvir suas palavras sobre este lugar, e sobre seus moradores, e te humilhaste diante de mim, e rasgaste tuas vestes, e choraste em minha presença, eu também te ei ouvido, diz o SENHOR.

and your heart was softened, and you humbled yourself in the sight of God concerning these things which have been said against this place and against the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and since, revering my face, you have torn your garments, and have wept before me: I also have heeded you, says the Lord.

28 Eis que eu te recolherei com teus pais, e serás recolhido em teus sepulcros em paz, e teus olhos não verão todo o mal que eu trago sobre este lugar, e sobre os moradores dele. E eles referiram ao rei a resposta.

For now I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be brought into your sepulcher in peace. Neither shall your eyes see all the evil that I will lead in, over this place and over its inhabitants.” And so they took back to the king all that she had said.

29 Então o rei enviou e juntou todos os anciãos de Judá e de Jerusalém.

And he, calling together all those greater by birth of Judah and Jerusalem,

30 E subiu o rei à casa do SENHOR, e com ele todos os homens de Judá, e os moradores de Jerusalém, e os sacerdotes, e os levitas, e todo o povo desde o maior até o menor; e leu a ouvidos deles todas as palavras do livro do pacto que havia sido achado na casa do SENHOR.

ascended to the house of the Lord, united with all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the priests and the Levites, and all the people, from the least even to the greatest. And in their hearing, in the house of the Lord, the king read all the words of the volume.

31 E estando o rei em pé em seu lugar, fez aliança diante do SENHOR de caminhar após o SENHOR, e de guardar seus mandamentos, seus testemunhos, e seus estatutos, de todo seu coração e de toda sua alma, praticando as palavras do pacto que estavam escritas naquele livro.

And standing up at his tribunal, he struck a covenant before the Lord, so that he would walk after him, and would keep his precepts and testimonies and justifications, with his whole heart and with his whole soul, and so that he would do the things that were written in that volume, which he had read.

32 E fez que se obrigassem a ele todos os que estavam em Jerusalém e em Benjamim: e os moradores de Jerusalém fizeram conforme ao pacto de Deus, do Deus de seus pais.

Also, concerning this, he bound by oath all who had been found in Jerusalem and Benjamin. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem acted in accord with the covenant of the Lord, the God of their fathers.

33 E tirou Josias todas as abominações de todas as terras dos filhos de Israel, e fez a todos os que se acharam em Israel servirem ao SENHOR seu Deus. Não se desviaram de seguir o SENHOR o Deus de seus pais, todo o tempo que ele viveu.

Therefore, Josiah took away all the abominations from all the regions of the sons of Israel. And he caused all who were remaining in Israel to serve the Lord their God. During all his days, they did not withdraw from the Lord, the God of their fathers.
