2 Reis 22

1 Quando Josias começou a reinar era de oito anos, e reinou em Jerusalém trinta e um anos. O nome de sua mãe foi Jedida filha de Adaías de Bozcate.

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 E fez o que era correto aos olhos do SENHOR, e andou em todo o caminho de Davi seu pai, sem desviar-se à direita nem à 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 E aos dezoito anos do rei Josias, foi que enviou o rei a Safã filho de Azalias, filho de Mesulão, escriba, à casa do SENHOR, 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 Vai a Hilquias, sumo sacerdote: dize-lhe que recolha o dinheiro que se pôs na casa do SENHOR, que juntaram do povo os guardiões da porta,

“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 E que o ponham em mãos dos que fazem a obra, que têm cargo da casa do SENHOR, e que o entreguem aos que fazem a obra da casa do SENHOR, para reparar as fendas da 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 mestres e pedreiros, para comprar madeira e pedra lavrada 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 E que não se lhes conte o dinheiro cujo manejo se lhes confiar, porque eles procedem com fidelidade.

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 Então disse o sumo sacerdote Hilquias a Safã escriba: Achei o livro da lei na casa do SENHOR. E Hilquias deu o livro a Safã, e leu-o.

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 Vindo logo Safã escriba ao rei, deu ao rei a resposta, e disse: Teus servos juntaram o dinheiro que se achou no templo, e o entregaram em poder dos que fazem a obra, que têm cargo da casa do SENHOR.

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 Também Safã escriba declarou ao rei, dizendo: Hilquias o sacerdote me deu um livro. E leu-o Safã 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 E 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 Logo mandou o rei a Hilquias o sacerdote, e a Aicã filho de Safã, e a Acbor filho de Micaías, e a Safã escriba, e a Asaías 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 Ide, e perguntai ao SENHOR por mim, e pelo povo, e por todo Judá, acerca das palavras deste livro que se achou: porque grande ira do SENHOR é a que foi acesa contra nós, porquanto nossos pais não escutaram as palavras deste livro, para fazer conforme tudo o que nos foi escrito.

“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 foi Hilquias o sacerdote, e Aicã e Acbor e Safã e Asaías, a Hulda profetisa, mulher de Salum filho de Ticvá filho de Harás, guarda das vestiduras, a qual morava em Jerusalém na segunda parte da cidade, e falaram 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 E ela lhes disse: Assim disse o SENHOR o Deus de Israel: 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 Assim disse o SENHOR: Eis que eu trago mal sobre este lugar, e sobre os que nele moram, a saber, todas as palavras do livro que leu o rei de Judá:

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 Porquanto me deixaram, e queimaram incenso a deuses alheios, provocando-me à ira em toda obra de suas mãos; e meu furor se acendeu 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 vos enviou para que perguntásseis ao SENHOR, direis assim: Assim disse o SENHOR o Deus de Israel: Porquanto ouviste as palavras do livro,

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 E teu coração se enterneceu, e te humilhaste diante do SENHOR, quando ouviste o que eu pronunciei contra este lugar e contra seus moradores, que viriam a ser assolados e malditos, e rasgaste tuas vestes, e choraste em minha presença, também eu te ouvi, diz o SENHOR.

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 eu te recolherei com teus pais, e tu serás recolhido a teu sepulcro em paz, e não verão teus olhos todo o mal que eu trago sobre este lugar. E eles deram ao rei a resposta.

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.”
