2 Reis 23

1 O rei enviou, e eles reuniram a ele todos os anciãos de Judá e de Jerusalém.

And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.

2 O rei subiu à casa de Javé, e com ele todos os homens de Judá e todos os habitantes de Jerusalém - com os sacerdotes, os profetas e todo o povo, tanto pequeno como grande; e leu em suas audiências todas as palavras do livro do pacto que foi encontrado na casa de Javé.

And the king went up to the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great; and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD.

3 O rei ficou ao lado da coluna e fez um pacto perante Iavé para caminhar depois de Iavé e guardar seus mandamentos, seus testemunhos e seus estatutos com todo o seu coração e toda a sua alma, para confirmar as palavras deste pacto que foram escritas neste livro; e todo o povo concordou com o pacto.

And the king stood on the platform, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep His commandments, and 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 stood to the covenant.

4 O rei ordenou a Hilquias, o sumo sacerdote, e aos sacerdotes da segunda ordem, e aos guardas do umbral, que tirassem do templo de Javé todos os vasos que foram feitos para Baal, para o Asherah, e para todo o exército do céu; e ele os queimou fora de Jerusalém nos campos do Cedron, e levou suas cinzas para Betel.

And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of heaven; and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Beth-el.

5 Ele se livrou dos sacerdotes idólatras que os reis de Judá tinham ordenado para queimar incenso nos lugares altos das cidades de Judá e nos lugares ao redor de Jerusalém; aqueles que também queimavam incenso para Baal, para o sol, para a lua, para os planetas, e para todo o exército do céu.

And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to offer in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that offered unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the constellations, and to all the host of heaven.

6 Ele trouxe o Asherah da casa de Iavé, fora de Jerusalém, para o riacho Kidron, e o queimou no riacho Kidron, e o espancou até o pó, e lançou seu pó sobre os túmulos do povo comum.

And he brought out the Asherah from the house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the common people.

7 Ele quebrou as casas das prostitutas do santuário masculino que estavam na casa de Yahweh, onde as mulheres teceram enforcamentos para o Asherah.

And he broke down the houses of the sodomites, that were in the house of the LORD, where the women wove coverings for the Asherah.

8 Ele trouxe todos os sacerdotes para fora das cidades de Judá, e sujou os altos lugares onde os sacerdotes tinham queimado incenso, de Geba a Beersheba; e derrubou os altos lugares dos portões que estavam na entrada do portão de Josué, o governador da cidade, que estavam à esquerda de um homem no portão da cidade.

And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had made offerings, from Geba to Beer-sheba; 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 as he entered the gate of the city.

9 No entanto, os sacerdotes dos altos não subiram ao altar de Javé em Jerusalém, mas comeram pães ázimos entre seus irmãos.

Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they did eat unleavened bread among their brethren.

10 Ele contaminou Topheth, que fica no vale dos filhos de Hinnom, para que nenhum homem pudesse fazer seu filho ou sua filha passar pelo fogo para Molech.

And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.

11 Ele tirou os cavalos que os reis de Judá tinham dedicado ao sol, na entrada da casa de Yahweh, pelo quarto de Nathan Melech, o oficial que estava na corte; e ele queimou as carruagens do sol com fogo.

And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entrance of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nethan-melech the officer, which was in the precincts; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.

12 O rei quebrou os altares que estavam no telhado da sala superior de Ahaz, que os reis de Judá tinham feito, e os altares que Manassés tinha feito nas duas cortes da casa de Yahweh, e os derrubou dali, e jogou seu pó no riacho Kidron.

And the altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king break down, and beat them down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.

13 O rei profanou os lugares altos que estavam diante de Jerusalém, que estavam à direita da montanha da corrupção, que Salomão, rei de Israel, tinha construído para Astoreth a abominação dos sidônios, e para Chemosh a abominação dos moabitas, e para Milcom a abominação dos filhos de Amon.

And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the detestation of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the detestation of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.

14 Ele quebrou em pedaços os pilares, cortou os postes de Asherah e encheu seus lugares com ossos de homens.

And he broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and filled their places with the bones of men.

15 Além disso, o altar que estava em Betel e o lugar alto que Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, que fez Israel pecar, tinha feito, mesmo aquele altar e o lugar alto que ele quebrou; e ele queimou o lugar alto e bateu nele até o pó, e queimou o Asherah.

Moreover the altar that was at Beth-el, 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 stamped it small to powder, and burned the Asherah.

16 Enquanto Josias se transformava, ele espiou os túmulos que estavam lá na montanha; e enviou, e tirou os ossos dos túmulos, e os queimou sobre o altar, e o contaminou, segundo a palavra de Javé que o homem de Deus proclamou, que proclamou estas coisas.

And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount; and he sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.

17 Então ele disse: “Que monumento é esse que eu vejo?”. Os homens da cidade lhe disseram: “É o túmulo do homem de Deus que veio de Judá e proclamou estas coisas que você fez contra o altar de Betel”.

Then he said: 'What monument is that which I see?' And the men of the city told him: 'It is the sepulchre of the man of God, who came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Beth-el.'

18 Ele disse: “Deixe-o estar! Que ninguém lhe mexa os ossos”. Então eles deixaram seus ossos em paz, com os ossos do profeta que saiu de Samaria.

And he said: 'Let him be; let no man move his bones.' So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.

19 Todas as casas também dos lugares altos que estavam nas cidades de Samaria, que os reis de Israel tinham feito para provocar a ira de Iavé, Josias tirou, e fez a eles de acordo com todos os atos que ele tinha feito em Betel.

And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the LORD, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Beth-el.

20 Ele matou todos os sacerdotes dos altos que estavam ali, nos altares, e queimou ossos de homens sobre eles; e retornou a Jerusalém.

And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there, upon the altars, and burned men's bones upon them; and he returned to Jerusalem.

21 O rei ordenou a todo o povo, dizendo: “Guardai a Páscoa para Javé vosso Deus, como está escrito neste livro do convênio”.

And the king commanded all the people, saying: 'Keep the passover unto the LORD your God, as it is written in this book of the covenant.'

22 Certamente não foi celebrada tal Páscoa desde os dias dos juízes que julgavam Israel, nem em todos os dias dos reis de Israel, nem dos reis de Judá;

For there was not kept such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;

23 mas no décimo oitavo ano do rei Josias, esta Páscoa foi celebrada a Iavé em Jerusalém.

but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this passover kept to the LORD in Jerusalem.

24 Além disso, Josias removeu aqueles que tinham espíritos familiares, os feiticeiros e os terafins, e os ídolos, e todas as abominações que foram vistas na terra de Judá e em Jerusalém, para confirmar as palavras da lei que estavam escritas no livro que Hilquias, o sacerdote, encontrou na casa de Yahweh.

Moreover them that divined by a ghost or a familiar spirit, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the detestable things that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.

25 Não houve rei como ele antes dele, que se voltou para Javé com todo o seu coração, com toda a sua alma e com todo o seu poder, de acordo com toda a lei de Moisés; e não houve rei como ele que se levantou depois dele.

And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.

26 Notwithstanding, Javé não se voltou da ferocidade de sua grande ira, com a qual sua ira ardia contra Judá, por causa de toda a provocação com que Manassés o havia provocado.

Notwithstanding the LORD turned not from the fierceness of His great wrath, wherewith His anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations wherewith Manasseh had provoked Him.

27 Javé disse: “Eu também tirarei Judá da minha vista, como tirei Israel; e rejeitarei esta cidade que escolhi, até Jerusalém, e a casa da qual eu disse: 'Meu nome estará lá'”.

And the LORD said: 'I will remove Judah also 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 Agora o resto dos atos de Josias, e tudo o que ele fez, não estão escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?

Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

29 Em seus dias, o Faraó Neco, rei do Egito, subiu contra o rei da Assíria até o rio Eufrates; e o rei Josias foi contra ele, mas o Faraó Neco o matou em Megido quando o viu.

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; and he slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.

30 Seus servos o levaram morto em uma carruagem de Megido, o levaram para Jerusalém e o sepultaram em sua própria tumba. O povo da terra tomou Jeoacaz, filho de Josias, e o ungiram, e o fizeram rei no lugar de seu pai.

And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's stead.

31 Jehoahaz tinha vinte e três anos de idade quando começou a reinar; e reinou três meses em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era Hamutal, filha de Jeremias de Libnah.

Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

32 Ele fez o que era mau aos olhos de Iavé, de acordo com tudo o que seus pais tinham feito.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.

33 O Faraó Neco o pôs em prisão em Ribla, na terra de Hamath, para que ele não reinasse em Jerusalém; e colocou a terra a um tributo de cem talentos de prata e um talento de ouro.

And Pharaoh-necoh put him in bands at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a fine of a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.

34 O Faraó Neco fez de Eliaquim o filho de Josias rei no lugar de seu pai, e mudou seu nome para Jeoiaquim; mas ele levou Jeoiaquim embora, e veio para o Egito e morreu lá.

And Pharaoh-necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim; but he took Jehoahaz away; and he came to Egypt, and died there.

35 Jehoiaquim deu a prata e o ouro ao Faraó; mas ele tributou a terra para dar o dinheiro de acordo com o mandamento do Faraó. Ele exigiu a prata e o ouro do povo da terra, de todos de acordo com sua avaliação, para dá-la ao Faraó Necoh.

And 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, of every one according to his taxation, to give it unto Pharaoh-necoh.

36 Jehoiakim tinha vinte e cinco anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e reinou onze anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era Zebidah, filha de Pedaías de Rumah.

Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Zebudah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.

37 Ele fez o que era mau aos olhos de Iavé, de acordo com tudo o que seus pais haviam feito.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
