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 twenty-five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. 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.
He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, 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.
In the first year of his reign, in the first month, he opened the doors of the LORD’s house and repaired them.
4 Ele trouxe os sacerdotes e os levitas e os reuniu no amplo lugar do leste,
He brought in the priests and the Levites and gathered them together into the wide 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 to them, “Listen to me, you Levites! Now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD, the God of your fathers, and carry 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 were unfaithful, and have done that which was evil in the LORD our God’s sight, 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 burnt incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place to 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.
Therefore the LORD’s wrath was on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has delivered them to be tossed back and forth, to be an astonishment and a hissing, as you 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 behold, 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, don’t be negligent now; for the LORD has chosen you to stand before him, to minister to him, and that you should be his ministers and burn incense.”
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 Jeuel; 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, Jehuel 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.
They gathered their brothers, sanctified themselves, and went in, according to the commandment of the king by the LORD’s words, to cleanse the LORD’s house.
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.
The priests went into the inner part of the LORD’s house to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the LORD’s temple into the court of the LORD’s house. The Levites took it from there to carry it out 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 they came to the LORD’s porch. They sanctified the LORD’s house in eight days, and on the sixteenth day of the first month they finished.
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 LORD’s house, including the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, and the table of show bread with all its vessels.
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, we have prepared and sanctified all the vessels which King Ahaz threw away in his reign when he was unfaithful. Behold, they are before the LORD’s altar.”
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, gathered the princes of the city, and went up to the LORD’s house.
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.
They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. He commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the LORD’s altar.
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 bulls, and the priests received the blood and sprinkled it on the altar. They killed the rams and sprinkled the blood on the altar. They also killed the lambs and sprinkled the blood on 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.
They brought near the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly; and they laid their hands on 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.
Then the priests killed them, and they made a sin offering with their blood on 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.
He set the Levites in the LORD’s house with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, of Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was from the LORD by his prophets.
26 Os levitas estavam com os instrumentos de Davi, e os sacerdotes com as trombetas.
The Levites stood with David’s instruments, 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.
Hezekiah commanded them to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the LORD’s song also began, along with the trumpets and 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.
All the assembly worshipped, 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.
When they had finished offering, the king and all who were present with him bowed themselves and worshipped.
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 to the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. They sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.
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, “Now you have consecrated yourselves to the LORD. Come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the LORD’s house.” The assembly 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.
The number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one 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.
The consecrated things were six hundred head of cattle 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 skin all the burnt offerings. Therefore their brothers the Levites helped them until 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.
Also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings and with the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the LORD’s house was set in order.
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.
Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced because of that which God had prepared for the people; for the thing was done suddenly.
