2 Reis 23

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

Then the king sent, —and there were gathered unto him, all the elders of Judah, and Jerusalem;

2 E subiu o rei à casa do SENHOR com todos os homens de Judá, e com todos os moradores de Jerusalém, com os sacerdotes e profetas e com todo o povo, desde o menor até o maior; e leu, ouvindo-o eles, todas as palavras do livro do pacto que havia sido achado na casa do SENHOR.

and the king went up to the house of Yahweh, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great, —and he read in their ears, all the words of the book of the covenant, which had been found in the house of Yahweh.

3 E pondo-se o rei em pé junto à coluna, fez aliança diante do SENHOR, de que seguiriam o SENHOR, e guardariam seus mandamentos, e seus testemunhos, e seus estatutos, com todo o coração e com toda a alma, e que cumpririam as palavras da aliança que estavam escritas naquele livro. E todo o povo confirmou o pacto.

And the king took his stand by the pillar, and solemnised a covenant before Yahweh—to follow Yahweh, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes, with all [their] heart and with all [their] soul, to confirm the words of this covenant, written in this book. And all the people took their stand in the covenant.

4 Então mandou el rei ao sumo sacerdote Hilquias, e aos sacerdotes de segunda ordem, e aos guardiões da porta, que tirassem do templo do SENHOR todos os vasos que haviam sido feitos para Baal, e para o bosque, e para toda o exército do céu; e queimou-os fora de Jerusalém no campo de Cedrom, e fez levar as cinzas deles a Betel.

Then the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the entrance-hall, to bring forth, out of the temple of Yahweh, all the vessels that had been made for Baal and for the Sacred Stem, and for all the army of the heavens, —and he burned them up outside Jerusalem, in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them to Bethel;

5 E tirou aos sacerdotes pagãos, que haviam posto os reis de Judá para que queimassem incenso nos altos nas cidades de Judá, e nos arredores de Jerusalém; e também aos que queimavam incenso a Baal, ao sol e à lua, e às constelações, e a todo o exército do céu.

and he put down the idol-priests, whom the kings of Judah had appointed, so that incense might be burned in the high places, in the cities of Judah, and round about Jerusalem, —them also that burned incense to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the constellations, and to all the army of the heavens;

6 Fez também tirar o bosque fora da casa do SENHOR, fora de Jerusalém, ao ribeiro de Cedrom, e queimou-o no ribeiro de Cedrom, e tornou-o em pó, e lançou o pó dele sobre os sepulcros dos filhos do povo.

and he brought forth the Sacred Stem out of the house of Yahweh, outside Jerusalem, into the Kidron ravine, and burned it in the Kidron ravine, and crushed it to powder, —and cast the powder upon the graves of the sons of the people;

7 Além disso derrubou as casas dos sodomitas que estavam na casa do SENHOR, nas quais teciam as mulheres tendas para o bosque.

and he brake down the houses of the male devotees, which were in the house of Yahweh, —where the women did weave houses to the Sacred Stem;

8 E fez vir todos os sacerdotes das cidades de Judá, e profanou os altos de onde os sacerdotes queimavam incenso, desde Gibeá até Berseba; e derrubou os altares das portas que estavam à entrada da porta de Josué, governador da cidade, que estavam à esquerda da porta da cidade.

and be brought in all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where, the priests, had burned incense, from Geba unto Beer-sheba, —and brake down the high places of the gates, that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua, the governor of the city, which were on one’s left hand, in the gate of the city;

9 Porém os sacerdotes dos altos não subiam ao altar do SENHOR em Jerusalém, mas comiam pães sem levedura entre seus irmãos.

howbeit, the priests of the high places came not up unto the altar of Yahweh, in Jerusalem, save only that they did eat unleavened bread in the midst of their brethren;

10 Também profanou a Tofete, que está no vale do filho de Hinom, porque ninguém passasse seu filho ou sua filha por fogo a Moloque.

and he defiled Topheth, which was in the valley of the son of Hinnom, —so that no man might cause his son or his daughter to pass through the fire unto Molech;

11 Tirou também os cavalos que os reis de Judá haviam dedicado ao sol à entrada do templo do SENHOR, junto à câmara de Natã-Meleque eunuco, a qual ficava nos recintos; e queimou ao fogo os carros do sol.

and he did away with the horses, which the kings of Judah had devoted to the sun, at the entrance of the house of Yahweh, near the chamber of Nathan-melech the courtier, which was in the suburbs, also, the chariots of the sun, burned he with fire;

12 Derrubou também o rei os altares que estavam sobre o terraço da sala de Acaz, que os reis de Judá haviam feito, e os altares que havia feito Manassés nos dois átrios da casa do SENHOR; e dali correu e lançou o pó no ribeiro de Cedrom.

and, the altars which were on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, also the altars which Manasseh had made, in the two courts of the house of Yahweh, did the king break down, —and hurried away from thence, and cast out the powder of them into the Kidron ravine;

13 Também profanou o rei os altos que estavam diante de Jerusalém, à direita do monte da destruição, os quais Salomão rei de Israel havia edificado a Astarote, abominação dos sidônios, e a Camos abominação de Moabe, e a Milcom abominação dos filhos de Amom.

and, the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of destruction, which Solomon king of Israel had built unto Ashtoreth—the abomination of the Zidonians, and unto Chemosh—the abomination of the Moabites, and unto Milcom—the disgusting thing of the sons of Ammon, did the king defile;

14 E quebrou as estátuas, e arrancou os bosques, e encheu o lugar deles de ossos de homens.

and he brake in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Sacred Stems, —and filled their place with human bones:

15 Igualmente o altar que estava em Betel, e o alto que havia feito Jeroboão filho de Nebate, o que fez pecar a Israel, aquele altar e o alto destruiu; e queimou o alto, e o tornou em pó, e pôs fogo ao bosque.

moreover also, the altar that was in Bethel, the high place which Jeroboam son of Nebat made, wherewith he caused, Israel, to sin, —even that altar, and the high place, brake he down, —and burned the high place, crushing it to powder, and burned a Sacred Stem.

16 E voltou-se Josias, e vendo os sepulcros que estavam ali no monte, enviou e tirou os ossos dos sepulcros, e queimou-os sobre o altar para contaminá-lo, conforme à palavra do SENHOR que havia profetizado o homem de Deus, o qual havia anunciado estes negócios.

And, when Josiah turned, and saw the graves which were there, in the mount, he sent and took the bones out of the graves, and burned upon the altar, and defiled it, —according to the word of Yahweh, which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.

17 E depois disse: Que monumento é este que vejo? E os da cidade lhe responderam: Este é o sepulcro do homem de Deus que veio de Judá, e profetizou estas coisas que tu fizeste sobre o altar de Betel.

Then said he—What is yonder erection, which I do see? And the men of the city said unto him—The grave of the man of God, who came in out of Judah, and proclaimed these things, which thou hast done, concerning the altar of Bethel.

18 E ele disse: Deixai-o; ninguém mova seus ossos: e assim foram preservados seus ossos, e os ossos do profeta que havia vindo de Samaria.

And he said—Let him rest, let, no man, disturb his bones. So they let his bones rest, with the bones of the prophet who came in out of Samaria.

19 E todas as casas dos altos que estavam nas cidades de Samaria, as quais haviam feito os reis de Israel para provocar a ira, tirou-as também Josias, e fez delas como havia feito em Betel.

Moreover also, all the houses of the high places which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made, so as to provoke Yahweh to anger, did Josiah remove, —and he did to them according to all the doings which he had done in Bethel;

20 Também matou sobre os altares a todos os sacerdotes dos altos que ali estavam, e queimou sobre eles ossos de homens, e voltou-se a Jerusalém.

and he sacrificed all the priests of the high places, who were there, by the altars, and burned human bones thereupon, —and returned to Jerusalem.

21 Então mandou o rei a todo o povo, dizendo: Fazei a páscoa ao SENHOR vosso Deus, conforme o que está escrito no livro desta aliança.

Then did the king command all the people, saying, Keep ye a passover unto Yahweh, your God, —such as is written in this book of the covenant.

22 Não foi feita tal páscoa desde os tempos dos juízes que governaram a Israel, nem em todos os tempos dos reis de Israel, e dos reis de Judá.

Surely there had not been held such a passover as this, from the days of the Judges who judged Israel, —nor all the days of the kings of Israel, and the kings of Judah;

23 Aos dezoito anos do rei Josias foi feita aquela páscoa ao SENHOR em Jerusalém.

save only, in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, when this passover was held unto Yahweh, in Jerusalem.

24 Também expulsou Josias os necromantes, adivinhos, e ídolos, e todas as abominações que se viam na terra de Judá e em Jerusalém, para cumprir as palavras da lei que estavam escritas no livro que o sacerdote Hilquias havia achado na casa do SENHOR.

Moreover also, them who had familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the household gods, and the manufactured gods, and the abominations which were to be seen in the land of Judah, and in Jerusalem, did Josiah consume, —that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest had found in the house of Yahweh.

25 Não houve tal rei antes dele que se convertesse ao SENHOR de todo seu coração, e de toda sua alma, e de todas suas forças, conforme a toda a lei de Moisés; nem depois dele nasceu outro tal.

And, like him, was no king, before him, who turned unto Yahweh with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses, —neither, after him, arose one, like him.

26 Contudo isso, o SENHOR não se desviou do ardor de sua grande ira, com que se havia encendido sua ira contra Judá, por todas as provocações com que Manassés lhe havia irritado.

Howbeit, Yahweh turned not away from the glow of his great anger, wherewith his anger glowed against Judah—because of all the provocations wherewith, Manasseh, had provoked him.

27 E disse o SENHOR: Também tirarei de minha presença a Judá, como tirei a Israel, e abominarei a esta cidade que havia escolhido, a Jerusalém, e à casa da qual havia eu dito: Meu nome será ali.

So Yahweh said: Even Judah, will I remove from my presence, as I have removed Israel, —and will reject this city, which I had chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house as to which I had said, My Name, shall be, there.

28 Os demais dos feitos de Josias, e todas as coisas que fez, não está tudo escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?

Now, the rest of the story of Josiah, and all that he did, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

29 Em aqueles dias Faraó Neco rei do Egito subiu contra o rei da Assíria ao rio Eufrates, e saiu contra ele o rei Josias; mas aquele assim que lhe viu, o matou em Megido.

In his days, came up Pharaoh-necoh king of Egypt, against the king of Assyria, unto the river Euphrates, —and, when King Josiah went against him, he slew him at Megiddo, as soon as he saw him.

30 E seus servos o puseram em um carro, e trouxeram-no morto de Megido a Jerusalém, e sepultaram-no em seu sepulcro. Então o povo da terra tomou a Jeoacaz filho de Josias, e ungiram-lhe e puseram-no por rei em lugar de seu pai.

And his servants conveyed him in a chariot, dead, from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre, —and the people of the land took Jehoahaz, son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made, him, king, in his father’s stead.

31 De vinte e três anos era Jeoacaz quando começou a reinar, e reinou três meses em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe foi Hamutal, filha de Jeremias de Libna.

Twenty-three years old, was Jehoahaz when he began to reign, and, three months, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah, of Libnah.

32 E ele fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, conforme todas as coisas que seus pais haviam feito.

And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that his, fathers, had done.

33 E lançou-o preso Faraó Neco em Ribla na província de Hamate, para que ele não reinasse em Jerusalém; e impôs sobre a terra uma multa de cem talentos de prata, e um de ouro.

And Pharaoh-necoh put him in bonds at Riblah, in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem, —and he laid a fine upon the land, a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.

34 Então Faraó Neco pôs por rei a Eliaquim filho de Josias, em lugar de Josias seu pai, e mudou-lhe o nome no de Jeoaquim; e tomou a Jeoacaz, e levou-o ao Egito, e morreu ali.

And Pharaoh-necoh made Eliakim son of Josiah king, instead of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, —and, Jehoahaz, took he away, so he entered Egypt, and died there.

35 E Jeoaquim pagou a Faraó a prata e o ouro; mas fez tributar a terra para dar o dinheiro conforme ao mandamento de Faraó, tirando a prata e ouro do povo da terra, de cada um segundo a avaliação de sua riqueza, para dar a Faraó Neco.

And, the silver and the gold, did Jehoiakim give unto Pharaoh, howbeit he assessed the land, that he might give the silver at the bidding of Pharaoh, —every man, according to his assessment, exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, that he might give it to Pharaoh-necoh.

36 De vinte e cinco anos era Jeoaquim quando começou a reinar, e onze anos reinou em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe foi Zebida filha de Pedaías, de Ruma.

Twenty-five years old, was Jehoiakim when he began to reign, and, eleven years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Zebudah daughter of Pedaiah, of Rumah.

37 E fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, conforme todas as coisas que seus pais haviam feito.

And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that, his fathers, had done.
