2 Reis 22
1 Josias tinha oito anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e reinou trinta e um anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era Jedidah, filha de Adaías de Bozkath.
Josiah was eight years old when he had begun to reign. He reigned for thirty-one years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah, from Bozkath.
2 Ele fez o que era certo aos olhos de Iavé, e caminhou por todo o caminho de Davi, seu pai, e não se virou para a mão direita ou para a esquerda.
And he did what was pleasing before the Lord, and he walked in all the ways of his father David. He did not turn aside to the right, or to the left.
3 No décimo oitavo ano do rei Josias, o rei enviou Shaphan, filho de Azalias, filho de Meshullam, o escriba, à casa de Iavé, dizendo:
Then, in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe of the temple of the Lord, saying to him:
4 “Vá até Hilkiah, o sumo sacerdote, para que ele possa contar o dinheiro que é trazido para a casa de Iavé, que os guardas do limiar reuniram do povo.
“Go to Hilkiah, the high priest, so that the money may be put together which has been brought into the temple of the Lord, which the doorkeepers of the temple have collected from the people.
5 Que o entreguem na mão dos trabalhadores que têm a supervisão da casa de Iavé; e que o entreguem aos trabalhadores que estão na casa de Iavé, para reparar os danos à casa,
And let it be given, by those in charge of the house of the Lord, to the workers. And let them distribute it to those who are working in the temple of the Lord in order to repair the surfaces of the temple,
6 aos carpinteiros, aos construtores, e aos pedreiros, e para comprar madeira e pedra cortada para reparar a casa.
specifically, to carpenters and masons, and to those who mend gaps, and so that wood may be purchased, and stones from the quarries, in order to repair the temple of the Lord.
7 No entanto, não lhes será pedida nenhuma contabilidade pelo dinheiro entregue em suas mãos, pois eles negociam fielmente”.
Yet truly, let no account be given by them of the money that they receive. Instead, let them have it within their power and trust.”
8 Hilkiah, o sumo sacerdote, disse a Shaphan, o escriba: “Encontrei o livro da lei na casa de Yahweh”. Hilkiah entregou o livro a Shaphan, e ele o leu.
Then Hilkiah, the high priest, said to Shaphan, the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord.” And Hilkiah gave the volume to Shaphan, and he read it.
9 Shaphan, o escriba, veio ao rei e trouxe a palavra ao rei novamente, e disse: “Seus servos esvaziaram o dinheiro que foi encontrado na casa, e o entregaram nas mãos dos trabalhadores que têm a supervisão da casa de Yahweh”.
Also, Shaphan, the scribe, went to the king, and reported to him what he had instructed. And he said: “Your servants have brought together the money which was found in the house of the Lord. And they have given it so that it would be distributed to the workers by the overseers of the works of the temple of the Lord.”
10 Shaphan o escriba disse ao rei, dizendo: “Hilkiah, o sacerdote, entregou-me um livro”. Então Shaphan leu-o diante do rei.
Also, Shaphan, the scribe, explained to the king, saying, “Hilkiah, the priest, gave the book to me.” And when Shaphan had read it before the king,
11 Quando o rei ouviu as palavras do livro da lei, rasgou suas roupas.
and the king had heard the words of the book of the law of the Lord, he tore his garments.
12 O rei ordenou a Hilquias o sacerdote, Ahikam o filho de Shaphan, Achbor o filho de Micaías, Shaphan o escriba, e Asaías o servo do rei, dizendo:
And he instructed Hilkiah, the priest, and Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Achbor, the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan, the scribe, and Asaiah, the servant of the king, saying:
13 “Vá perguntar a Javé por mim, e pelo povo, e por todo Judá, a respeito das palavras deste livro que se encontra; pois grande é a ira de Iavé que se acendeu contra nós, porque nossos pais não escutaram as palavras deste livro, para fazer de acordo com tudo o que está escrito a nosso respeito.”
“Go and consult the Lord concerning me, and the people, and all of Judah, about the words of this volume which has been found. For the great wrath of the Lord has been kindled against us because our fathers did not listen to the words of this book, so that they would do all that has been written for us.”
14 Então Hilkiah o sacerdote, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan e Asaiah foram ter com Huldah a profetisa, a esposa de Shallum o filho de Tikvah, o filho de Harhas, guarda do guarda-roupa (agora ela morava em Jerusalém no segundo trimestre); e conversaram com ela.
Therefore, Hilkiah, the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah, went to Huldah, the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, the keeper of the vestments, who was living in Jerusalem, in the second part. And they spoke with her.
15 Ela lhes disse: “Javé, o Deus de Israel, diz: 'Dizei ao homem que vos enviou a mim,
And she responded to them: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Tell the man who sent you to me:
16 “; Javé diz: 'Eis que trarei mal sobre este lugar e sobre seus habitantes, até mesmo todas as palavras do livro que o rei de Judá leu.
Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will lead evils over this place, and over its inhabitants, all the words of the law that the king of Judah has read.
17 Porque me abandonaram e queimaram incenso para outros deuses, para que me provoquem à ira com todo o trabalho de suas mãos, portanto minha ira se acenderá contra este lugar, e não se apagará””.
For they have abandoned me, and they have sacrificed to foreign gods, provoking me by all the works of their hands. And so my indignation will be kindled against this place. And it will not be extinguished.
18 Mas ao rei de Judá, que te enviou para perguntar a Javé, diz-lhe: “Javé, o Deus de Israel, diz: 'Quanto às palavras que ouviste,
But to the king of Judah, who sent you so that you would consult the Lord, so shall you say: Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: In so far as you have heard the words of the volume,
19 porque teu coração era terno, e te humilhaste diante de Javé quando ouviste o que falei contra este lugar e contra seus habitantes, para que se tornassem uma desolação e uma maldição, e tenham rasgado tuas roupas e chorado diante de mim, eu também te ouvi', diz Javé.
and your heart was terrified, and you humbled yourself before the Lord, listening to the words against this place and its inhabitants, specifically, that they would become an astonishment and a curse, and because you have torn your garments, and have wept before me: I also have heard you, says the Lord.
20 'Portanto, eis que vos reunirei a vossos pais, e sereis reunidos em paz em vosso túmulo. Seus olhos não verão todo o mal que eu trarei sobre este lugar'””. Assim, eles trouxeram esta mensagem de volta ao rei.
For this reason, I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your sepulcher in peace, so that your eyes may not see all the evils that I will bring over this place.”
