< 2 Crônicas 29 >
1 Hezekiah começou a reinar aos vinte e cinco anos de idade, e reinou vinte e nove anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era Abias, a 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 Ele fez o que era certo aos olhos de Iavé, de acordo com tudo o que David, seu pai, havia feito.
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 primeiro mês, ele abriu as portas da casa de Yahweh 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 Ele trouxe os sacerdotes e os levitas e os reuniu no amplo lugar do leste,
And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the broad place on the east;
5 e lhes disse: “Escutem-me, levitas! Agora santificai-vos e santificai a casa de Yahweh, o Deus de vossos pais, e levai a sujeira para fora do lugar santo”.
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 Pois nossos pais foram infiéis, e fizeram o que era mau aos olhos de Iavé, nosso Deus, e o abandonaram, e viraram seus rostos para longe da habitação de Iavé, e viraram 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 Também fecharam as portas do alpendre, apagaram as lâmpadas e não queimaram incenso nem ofereceram holocaustos no lugar santo 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 de Javé recaiu sobre Judá e Jerusalém, e ele os entregou para serem jogados para frente e para trás, para ser um espanto e um assobio, como você vê com seus 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 Pois eis que nossos pais caíram pela espada, e nossos filhos, nossas filhas e nossas esposas 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 está em meu coração fazer um pacto com Javé, o Deus de Israel, para que sua raiva feroz se afaste de nós.
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 Meus filhos, não sejam negligentes agora; pois Javé vos escolheu para estar diante dele, para ministrar a ele, e que vós sejais seus ministros e 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 Depois surgiram os Levitas: Mahath, filho de Amasai, e Joel, filho de Azarias, dos filhos dos coatitas; e dos filhos de Merari, Kish, filho de Abdi, e Azarias, filho de Jehallelel; e dos gersonitas, Joah, filho de Zimmah, e Eden, filho de Joah;
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 Elizaphan, Shimri e Jeuel; e dos filhos de Asafe, Zacarias e Mattaniah;
and of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeiel; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;
14 e dos filhos de Heman, Jehuel e Shimei; e dos filhos de Jedutum, Semaías e Uzziel.
and of the sons of Heman, Jehiel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.
15 Eles reuniram seus irmãos, santificaram-se e entraram, de acordo com o mandamento do rei pelas palavras de Javé, para limpar a casa de Javé.
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 Os sacerdotes entraram na parte interna da casa de Iavé para limpá-la, e trouxeram toda a impureza que encontraram no templo de Iavé para a corte da casa de Iavé. Os levitas a levaram de lá para levá-la até o riacho Kidron.
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 Agora eles começaram no primeiro dia do primeiro mês a santificar, e no oitavo dia do mês vieram ao alpendre de Yahweh. Eles santificaram a casa de Yahweh em oito dias, e no décimo sexto dia do primeiro mês eles terminaram.
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 Então eles foram ao rei Ezequias dentro do palácio e disseram: “Limpamos toda a casa de Iavé, incluindo o altar de holocausto com todas as suas vasilhas, e a mesa de mostrar pão com todas as suas vasilhas”.
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 Moreover, preparamos e santificamos todas as vasilhas que o rei Acaz jogou fora em seu reinado quando foi infiel. Eis que estão diante do altar de Yahweh”.
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 Então o rei Ezequias levantou-se cedo, reuniu os príncipes da cidade e foi até a casa de Yahweh.
Then Hezekiah the king arose early, and gathered the princes of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD.
21 Eles trouxeram sete touros, sete carneiros, sete cordeiros e sete bodes, para uma oferta pelo pecado, pelo reino, pelo santuário e por Judá. Ele ordenou aos sacerdotes os filhos de Aarão que os oferecessem no altar de Iavé.
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 Então eles mataram os touros, e os sacerdotes receberam o sangue e o aspergiram sobre o altar. Eles mataram os carneiros e aspergiram o sangue sobre o altar. Eles também mataram os cordeiros e aspergiram 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 Aproximaram-se dos bodes macho para a oferta pelo pecado perante o rei e a assembléia; e colocaram suas mãos sobre eles.
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 Então os sacerdotes os mataram e fizeram uma oferta pelo pecado com seu sangue sobre o altar, para fazer expiação por todo Israel; pois o rei ordenou que a oferta queimada e a oferta pelo pecado fossem feitas por todo Israel.
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 Ele colocou os levitas na casa de Iavé com címbalos, com instrumentos de cordas e com harpas, de acordo com o mandamento de Davi, de Gad, o vidente do rei, e Nathan, o profeta; pois o mandamento era de Iavé por 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 Os levitas estavam com os instrumentos de Davi, e os sacerdotes com as trombetas.
And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
27 Hezekiah ordenou-lhes que oferecessem o holocausto sobre o altar. Quando o holocausto começou, o canto de Javé também começou, junto 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 Toda a assembléia adorou, os cantores cantaram, e os trombeteiros tocaram. Tudo isso continuou até que o holocausto foi terminado.
And all the congregation prostrated themselves, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt-offering was finished.
29 Quando terminaram de oferecer, o rei e todos os que estavam presentes com ele se curvaram 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 Moreover O rei Ezequias e os príncipes ordenaram aos levitas que cantassem louvores a Javé com as palavras de Davi, e de Asafe, o vidente. Eles cantaram louvores com alegria, e inclinaram a cabeça e 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 Então Hezekiah respondeu: “Agora vocês se consagraram a Yahweh”. Aproximai-vos e trazei sacrifícios e agradecimentos na casa de Iavé”. A assembléia trouxe sacrifícios e ofertas de agradecimento, e todos os que tinham um coração disposto trouxeram ofertas queimadas.
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 O número de ofertas queimadas que a assembléia trouxe foi de setenta touros, cem carneiros e duzentos cordeiros. Todos estes foram para uma oferta queimada a Javé.
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 As coisas consagradas eram seiscentas cabeças de gado e três mil ovelhas.
And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
34 Mas os sacerdotes eram muito poucos, de modo que não podiam esfolar todos os holocaustos. Por isso seus irmãos, os levitas os ajudaram até o fim da obra e até que os sacerdotes se santificassem, pois os levitas estavam mais retos de coração para se santificarem do 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 Também as ofertas queimadas estavam em abundância, com a gordura das ofertas de paz e com as ofertas de bebida para cada holocausto. Assim, o serviço da casa de Yahweh foi posto em ordem.
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 Hezekiah e todo o povo se regozijaram por causa daquilo que Deus havia preparado para o povo; pois a coisa foi feita de repente.
And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, because of that which God had prepared for the people; for the thing was done suddenly.
