2 Reis 23
1 Então o rei enviou aviso, e juntaram a ele todos os anciãos de Judá e de Jerusalém.
The king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of 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.
The king went up to Yahweh’s house, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him—with the priests, the prophets, and all the people, both small and great; and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in Yahweh’s house.
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.
The king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before Yahweh to walk after Yahweh and to keep his commandments, his testimonies, and his statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book; and all the people agreed to 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.
The king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out of Yahweh’s temple all the vessels that were made for Baal, for the Asherah, and for all the army of the sky; and he burned them outside of Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried their ashes 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.
He got rid of the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah and in the places around Jerusalem; those also who burned incense to Baal, to the sun, to the moon, to the planets, and to all the army of the sky.
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.
He brought out the Asherah from Yahweh’s house, outside of Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and beat it to dust, and cast its dust on the graves of the common people.
7 Além disso derrubou as casas dos sodomitas que estavam na casa do SENHOR, nas quais teciam as mulheres tendas para o bosque.
He broke down the houses of the male shrine prostitutes that were in Yahweh’s house, where the women wove hangings for the Asherah.
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.
He brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba; and he broke 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 a man’s left hand at 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.
Nevertheless the priests of the high places didn’t come up to Yahweh’s altar in Jerusalem, but they ate unleavened bread among their brothers.
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.
He defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to 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.
He took away the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun, at the entrance of Yahweh’s house, by the room of Nathan Melech the officer who was in the court; and he burned the chariots of the sun 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.
The king broke down the altars that were on the roof of the upper room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of Yahweh’s house, and beat them down from there, and cast their dust into the brook Kidron.
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.
The king defiled the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mountain of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon.
14 E quebrou as estátuas, e arrancou os bosques, e encheu o lugar deles de ossos de homens.
He broke in pieces the pillars, cut down the Asherah poles, and filled their places with men’s 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 the altar that was at Bethel and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he broke down; and he burned the high place and beat it to dust, and burned the Asherah.
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.
As Josiah turned himself, he spied the tombs that were there in the mountain; and he sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burned them on the altar, and defiled it, according to Yahweh’s word 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 he said, “What monument is that which I see?” The men of the city told him, “It is the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things that you have done against 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.
He said, “Let him be! Let no one move his bones.” So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet who came 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.
All the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke Yahweh to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that 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.
He killed all the priests of the high places that were there, on the altars, and burned men’s bones on them; and he 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.
The king commanded all the people, saying, “Keep the Passover to Yahweh your God, as it 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 was not kept such a Passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
23 Aos dezoito anos do rei Josias foi feita aquela páscoa ao SENHOR em Jerusalém.
but in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover was kept to 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, Josiah removed those who had familiar spirits, the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in Yahweh’s house.
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.
There was no king like him before him, who turned to Yahweh with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; and there was none like him who arose after 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.
Notwithstanding, Yahweh didn’t turn from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocation with which 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.
Yahweh said, “I will also remove Judah out of my sight, as I have removed Israel; and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I 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 acts of Josiah, and all that he did, aren’t they 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 Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates; and King Josiah went against him, but Pharaoh Necoh killed him at Megiddo when 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.
His servants carried him dead in a chariot from Megiddo, brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. The people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s place.
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.
Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the 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.
He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, 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.
Pharaoh Necoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of one 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.
Pharaoh Necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim; but he took Jehoahaz away, and he came to 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.
Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh. He exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, from everyone according to his assessment, to 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.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zebidah the 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.
He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, according to all that his fathers had done.
