2 Crônicas 31
1 Now quando tudo isso terminou, todo Israel que estava presente foi para as cidades de Judá e quebrou os pilares, cortou os postes de Asherah e derrubou os altos e altares de todo Judá e Benjamim, também em Efraim e Manassés, até destruí-los a todos. Então todos os filhos de Israel voltaram, cada homem em sua posse, para suas próprias cidades.
Now when all this was finished, all the people of Israel who were there went out to the cities of Judah and broke to pieces the stone pillars and they cut down the Asherah poles, and they broke down the high places and the altars in all of Judah and Benjamin, and in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the people of Israel returned, every one to his own possession and his own city.
2 Hezekiah nomeou as divisões dos sacerdotes e levitas após suas divisões, cada homem de acordo com seu serviço, tanto os sacerdotes como os levitas, para as ofertas queimadas e para as ofertas de paz, para ministrar, agradecer e elogiar nos portões do acampamento de Yahweh.
Hezekiah assigned the divisions of the priests and the Levites organized by their divisions, each man assigned to his work, both the priests and the Levites. He assigned them to make the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, to serve, to give thanks, and to praise at the gates of Yahweh's temple.
3 Ele também designou a porção do rei de seus bens para os holocaustos: para os holocaustos da manhã e da noite, e os holocaustos para os sábados, para as luas novas, e para as festas fixas, como está escrito na lei de Yahweh.
He also assigned the king's portion for the burnt offerings from his own possessions, that is, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the Sabbath days, the new moons, and the fixed festivals, as it was written in the law of Yahweh.
4 Moreover ele ordenou ao povo que vivia em Jerusalém que desse a porção dos sacerdotes e dos levitas, para que eles se entregassem à lei de Iavé.
Moreover, he commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion for the priests and the Levites, so that they might concentrate on obeying the law of Yahweh.
5 Assim que o mandamento saiu, os filhos de Israel deram em abundância as primeiras frutas de grãos, vinho novo, azeite, mel e de todo o aumento do campo; e trouxeram o dízimo de todas as coisas em abundância.
As soon as the command was sent out, the people of Israel generously gave the firstfruits of grain, new wine, oil, honey, and from all their harvest of the field. They brought in a tithe of everything, which was a great quantity.
6 Os filhos de Israel e Judá, que viviam nas cidades de Judá, também trouxeram o dízimo de gado bovino e ovino, e o dízimo de coisas dedicadas que foram consagradas a Javé seu Deus, e os colocaram em montões.
The people of Israel and Judah who lived in the cities of Judah also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep, and the tithe of the holy things that were set apart to Yahweh their God, and they piled them up in heaps.
7 No terceiro mês, eles começaram a lançar os alicerces das pilhas, e as terminaram no sétimo mês.
It was in the third month when they began piling up their contribution in heaps, and they finished in the seventh month.
8 Quando Ezequias e os príncipes vieram e viram os montões, abençoaram Yahweh e seu povo Israel.
When Hezekiah and the leaders came and saw the heaps, they blessed Yahweh and his people Israel.
9 Então Ezequias interrogou os sacerdotes e os levitas sobre os montões.
Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites about the heaps.
10 Azarias, o sacerdote principal, da casa de Zadoque, respondeu-lhe e disse: “Desde que o povo começou a trazer as ofertas para a casa de Iavé, nós comemos e comemos o suficiente e sobrou muito, pois Iavé abençoou seu povo; e o que sobrou é esta grande loja”.
Azariah, the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, “Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of Yahweh, we have eaten and had enough, and have plenty left over, for Yahweh has blessed his people. What was left over is this large amount here.”
11 Então Hezekiah ordenou-lhes que preparassem quartos na casa de Yahweh, e eles os prepararam.
Then Hezekiah commanded storerooms to be prepared in the house of Yahweh, and they prepared them.
12 Eles trouxeram as ofertas, os dízimos e as coisas dedicadas fielmente. Conaniah, o levita, era o governante sobre eles, e Shimei, seu irmão, era o segundo.
Then they faithfully brought in the offerings, the tithes and the things that belonged to Yahweh. Konaniah the Levite was the manager in charge of them, and his brother Shimei was second to him.
13 Jeiel, Azazias, Naate, Asael, Jerimote, Jozabade, Eliel, Ismaquias, Mahath e Benaia foram supervisores sob a mão de Conanias e Shimei, seu irmão, por nomeação de Ezequias, o rei, e Azarias, o governante da casa de Deus.
Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismakiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were managers under the hand of Konaniah and Shimei his brother, by appointment of Hezekiah, the king, and Azariah, the official over the house of God.
14 Kore, o filho de Imnah, o levita, o porteiro no portão leste, estava sobre as ofertas de livre vontade de Deus, para distribuir as ofertas de Javé e as coisas mais sagradas.
Kore son of Imnah the Levite, the porter at the east gate, was over the free will offerings of God, in charge of distributing the offerings to Yahweh and the most holy offerings.
15 Sob ele estavam Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah e Shecaniah, nas cidades dos sacerdotes, em seu escritório de confiança, para dar a seus irmãos por divisões, tanto aos grandes como aos pequenos;
Under him were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests. They filled offices of trust, in order to give these offerings to their brothers division by division, to both the important and the unimportant.
16 além daqueles que foram listados por genealogia dos homens, a partir dos três anos de idade, até mesmo todos que entraram na casa de Iavé, como o dever de cada dia exigido, para seu serviço em seus escritórios de acordo com suas divisões;
They also gave to those males three years old and up, who were listed in the records of their ancestors who entered the house of Yahweh, as required by the daily schedule, to do the work in their offices and their divisions.
17 e aqueles que foram listados por genealogia dos sacerdotes pelas casas de seus pais, e os Levitas a partir dos vinte anos, em seus escritórios pelas divisões;
They distributed to the priests according to the records of their ancestors, and the same to the Levites twenty years old and more, according to their offices and their divisions.
18 e aqueles que foram listados por genealogia de todos os seus pequenos, suas esposas, seus filhos e suas filhas, através de toda a congregação; pois em seu escritório de confiança eles se santificaram em santidade.
They included all their little ones, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, through the whole community, for they were faithful in keeping themselves holy.
19 Também para os filhos de Aarão, os sacerdotes, que estavam nos campos das pastagens de suas cidades, em cada cidade, havia homens que foram mencionados pelo nome para dar porções a todos os homens entre os sacerdotes e a todos que foram listados por genealogia entre os levitas.
For the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who were in the fields of the villages belonging to their cities, or in every city, there were men assigned by name to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all who were listed in the records of their ancestors as being among the Levites.
20 Hezekiah o fez em todo o Judá; e fez o que era bom, correto e fiel diante de Javé seu Deus.
Hezekiah did this throughout all Judah. He accomplished what was good, right, and faithful before Yahweh, his God.
21 Em cada obra que ele começou no serviço da casa de Deus, na lei e nos mandamentos, para buscar seu Deus, ele o fez com todo o seu coração e prosperou.
In every project that he began in the service of the house of God, the law, and the commandments, to seek his God, he performed it with all his heart, and he succeeded.
