2 Crônicas 29

1 E Ezequias começou a reinar sendo de vinte e cinco anos, e reinou vinte e nove anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe foi Abia, filha de Zacarias.

Hezekiah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old; he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abijah; she was the daughter of Zechariah.

2 E fez o que era correto aos olhos do SENHOR, conforme a todas as coisas que havia feito Davi seu pai.

He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, just as David his father had done.

3 No primeiro ano de seu reinado, no mês primeiro, abriu as portas da casa do SENHOR, e as reparou.

In the first year of his reign, in the first month, Hezekiah opened the doors of the house of Yahweh and repaired them.

4 E fez vir os sacerdotes e levitas, e juntou-os na praça oriental.

He brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the courtyard on the east side.

5 E disse-lhes: Ouvi-me, levitas, e santificai-vos agora, e santificareis a casa do SENHOR o Deus de vossos pais, e tirareis do santuário a imundícia.

He said to them, “Listen to me, you Levites! Consecrate yourselves, and consecrate the house of Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, and carry away the filthiness from the holy place.

6 Porque nossos pais se rebelaram, e fizeram o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR nosso Deus; que lhe deixaram, e apartaram seus olhos do tabernáculo do SENHOR, e lhe voltaram as costas.

For our ancestors trespassed and did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh our God; they forsook him, turned away their faces from the place where Yahweh lives, and turned their backs on it.

7 E ainda fecharam as portas do pórtico, e apagaram as lâmpadas; não queimaram incenso, nem sacrificaram holocausto no santuário ao Deus de Israel.

Also they shut up the doors of the porch and put out the lamps; they did not burn incense or offer burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel.

8 Portanto a ira do SENHOR veio sobre Judá e Jerusalém, e os entregou à aflição, ao espanto, e ao escárnio, como vedes vós com vossos olhos.

Therefore the wrath of Yahweh had fallen on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has made them to be an object of terror, of horror, and of scorn, as you can see with your own eyes.

9 E eis que nossos pais caíram à espada, nossos filhos e nossas filhas e nossas mulheres estão em cativeiro por isso.

This is why our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons, our daughters, and our wives are in captivity for this.

10 Agora, pois, eu determinei fazer aliança com o SENHOR o Deus de Israel, para que afaste de nós a ira de seu furor.

Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Yahweh, the God of Israel, so that his fierce anger may turn away from us.

11 Filhos meus, não vos enganeis agora, porque o SENHOR vos escolheu para que estejais diante dele, e lhe sirvais, e sejais seus ministros, e lhe queimeis incenso.

My sons, do not be lazy now, for Yahweh has chosen you to stand before him, to worship him, and that you should be his servants and burn incense.”

12 Então os levitas se levantaram, Maate filho de Amasai, e Joel filho de Azarias, dos filhos de Coate; e dos filhos de Merari, Quis filho de Abdi, e Azarias filho de Jealelel; e dos filhos de Gérson, Joá filho de Zima, e Éden filho de Joá;

Then the Levites arose: Mahath son of Amasai, and Joel son of Azariah, of the people of the Kohathites; and of the people of Merari, Kish son of Abdi, and Azariah son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah son of Zimmah, and Eden son of Joah;

13 E dos filhos de Elisafã, Sinri e Jeuel; e dos filhos de Asafe, Zacarias e Matanias;

of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;

14 E dos filhos de Hemã, Jeiel e Simei; e dos filhos de Jedutum, Semaías e Uziel.

of the sons of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.

15 Estes juntaram a seus irmãos, e santificaram-se, e entraram, conforme ao mandamento do rei e as palavras do SENHOR, para limpar a casa do SENHOR.

They gathered their brothers, they consecrated themselves, and they went in, as the king commanded, following the words of Yahweh, to cleanse the house of Yahweh.

16 E entrando os sacerdotes dentro da casa do SENHOR para limpá-la, tiraram toda a imundícia que acharam no templo do SENHOR, ao átrio da casa do SENHOR; a qual tomaram os levitas, para tirá-la fora ao ribeiro de Cedrom.

The priests went in to the inner part of the house of Yahweh to cleanse it; they brought out all the filth that they found in the temple of Yahweh into the courtyard of the house. The Levites took it to carry it out to the brook Kidron.

17 E começaram a santificar o primeiro do mês primeiro, e aos oito do mesmo mês vieram ao pórtico do SENHOR: e santificaram a casa do SENHOR em oito dias, e no dezesseis do mês primeiro acabaram.

Now they began the consecration on the first day of the first month. By the eighth day of the month they reached the porch of Yahweh. Then for eight more days they consecrated the house of Yahweh. On the sixteenth day of the first month they finished.

18 Logo passaram ao rei Ezequias e disseram-lhe: Já limpamos toda a casa do SENHOR, o altar do holocausto, e todos seus instrumentos, e a mesa da proposição com todos seus utensílios.

Then they went to Hezekiah, the king, inside the palace and said, “We have cleansed all the house of Yahweh, the altar for burnt offerings with all its implements, and the table of the bread of the presence, with all its implements.

19 Assim preparamos e santificamos todos os vasos que em sua transgressão havia descartado o rei Acaz, quando reinava: e eis que estão diante do altar do SENHOR.

So we have prepared and we have consecrated all the items that King Ahaz removed when he acted unfaithfully during his reign. See, they are in front of the altar of Yahweh.”

20 E levantando-se de manhã o rei Ezequias reuniu os principais da cidade, e subiu à casa do SENHOR.

Then Hezekiah the king rose early in the morning and gathered the leaders of the city; he went up to the house of Yahweh.

21 E apresentaram sete novilhos, sete carneiros, sete cordeiros, e sete bodes, para expiação pelo reino, pelo santuário e por Judá. E disse aos sacerdotes filhos de Arão, que os oferecessem sobre o altar do SENHOR.

They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats as 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 altar of Yahweh.

22 Mataram, pois, os bois, e os sacerdotes tomaram a sangue, e espargiram-na sobre o altar; mataram logo os carneiros, e espargiram o sangue sobre o altar; também mataram os cordeiros, e espargiram o sangue sobre o altar.

So they killed the bulls, and the priests received the blood and sprinkled it on the altar. Then they killed the rams and sprinkled their blood on the altar; and they also killed the lambs and sprinkled their blood on the altar.

23 Fizeram depois chegar os bodes da expiação diante do rei e da multidão, e puseram sobre eles suas mãos:

They brought the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly; they laid their hands on them.

24 E os sacerdotes os mataram, e expiando espargiram o sangue deles sobre o altar, para reconciliar a todo Israel: porque por todo Israel mandou o rei fazer o holocausto e a expiação.

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 had commanded that a burnt offering and a sin offering should be made for all Israel.

25 Pôs também levitas na casa do SENHOR com címbalos, e saltérios, e harpas, conforme ao mandamento de Davi, e de Gade vidente do rei, e de Natã profeta: porque aquele mandamento foi por mão do SENHOR, por meio de seus profetas.

Hezekiah placed the Levites in the house of Yahweh with cymbals, harps, and lyres, arranging them by the command of David, Gad, the king's seer, and Nathan, the prophet, for the command was from Yahweh by means of his prophets.

26 E os levitas estavam com os instrumentos de Davi, e os sacerdotes com trombetas.

The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

27 Então mandou Ezequias sacrificar o holocausto no altar; e ao tempo que começou o holocausto, começou também o cântico do SENHOR, 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 song of Yahweh began also, with the trumpets, together with the instruments of David, king of Israel.

28 E toda a multidão adorava, e os cantores cantavam, e os trombetas soavam as trombetas; tudo até acabar-se o holocausto.

All the assembly worshiped, the singers sang, and the trumpeters played; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.

29 E quando acabaram de oferecer, inclinou-se o rei, e todos os que com ele estavam, e adoraram.

When they had finished the offerings, the king and all who were present with him bowed and worshiped.

30 Então o rei Ezequias e os príncipes disseram aos levitas que louvassem ao SENHOR pelas palavras de Davi e de Asafe vidente: e eles louvaram com grande alegria, e inclinando-se adoraram.

Moreover, Hezekiah, the king, and the leaders commanded the Levites to sing praises to Yahweh with the words of David and of Asaph, the seer. They sang praises with gladness, and they bowed down and worshiped.

31 E respondendo Ezequias disse: Vós vos haveis consagrado agora ao SENHOR; achegai-vos pois, e apresentai sacrifícios e louvores na casa do SENHOR. E a multidão apresentou sacrifícios e louvores; e todo generoso de coração, holocaustos.

Then Hezekiah said, “Now you have consecrated yourselves to Yahweh. Come here and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of Yahweh.” The assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings, and all who had a willing heart brought burnt offerings.

32 E foi o número dos holocaustos que trouxe a congregação, setenta bois, cem carneiros, duzentos cordeiros; tudo para o holocausto do SENHOR.

The number of the burnt offerings that the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred male lambs. All these were for a burnt offering to Yahweh.

33 E as ofertas foram seiscentos bois, e três mil ovelhas.

The consecrated offerings were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.

34 Mas os sacerdotes eram poucos, e não podiam o suficiente a tirar o couro dos holocaustos; e assim seus irmãos os levitas lhes ajudaram até que acabaram a obra, e até que os sacerdotes se santificaram: porque os levitas tiveram maior prontidão de coração para se santificarem que os sacerdotes.

But the priests were too few to skin all the burnt offerings, so their brothers, the Levites, helped them until the work was done, and until the priests could consecrate themselves, for the Levites had been more careful to consecrate themselves than the priests.

35 Assim, pois, havia grande abundância de holocaustos, com gorduras de ofertas pacíficas, e libações de cada holocausto. E ficou ordenado o serviço da casa do SENHOR.

In addition, there were very many burnt offerings; they were performed with the fat of the fellowship offerings, and there were drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of Yahweh was set in order.

36 E alegrou-se Ezequias, e todo o povo, de que Deus houvesse preparado o povo; porque a coisa foi prontamente feita.

Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people also, because of what God had prepared for the people, for the work had been done quickly.
