2 Kings 23
1 And they reported to the king what she had said. And he sent, and all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem were gathered to him.
Então o rei enviou, e todos os anciãos de Judah e de Jerusalem se ajuntaram a elle.
2 And the king ascended to the temple of the Lord. And with him were all the men of Judah and all who were living in Jerusalem: the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, from the small to the great. And in the hearing of everyone, he read all the words of the book of the covenant, which was found in the house of the Lord.
E o rei subiu á casa do Senhor, e com elle todos os homens de Judah, e todos o moradores de Jerusalem, e os sacerdotes, e os prophetas, e todo o povo, desde o mais pequeno até ao maior: e leu aos ouvidos d'elles todas as palavras do livro do concerto, que se achou na casa do Senhor.
3 And the king stood upon the step. And he struck a covenant before the Lord, so that they would walk after the Lord, and keep his precepts and testimonies and ceremonies, with all their heart and with all their soul, and so that they would carry out the words of this covenant, which had been written in that book. And the people agreed to the covenant.
E o rei se poz em pé junto á columna, e fez o concerto perante o Senhor, para andarem atraz do Senhor, e guardarem os seus mandamentos, e os seus testemunhos, e os seus estatutos, com todo o coração, e com toda a alma, confirmando as palavras d'este concerto, que estavam escriptas n'aquelle livro; e todo o povo esteve por este concerto.
4 And the king instructed Hilkiah, the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers, so that they would cast out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels which had been made for Baal, and for the sacred grove, and for the entire army of heaven. And he burned them outside of Jerusalem, in the steep valley of Kidron. And he carried their dust into Bethel.
E o rei mandou ao summo sacerdote Hilkias, e aos sacerdotes da segunda ordem, e aos guardas do umbral da porta, que se tirassem do templo do Senhor todos os vasos que se tinham feito para Baal, e para o bosque, e para todo o exercito dos céus: e os queimou fóra de Jerusalem, nos campos de Cedron, e levou o pó d'elles a Bethel.
5 And he destroyed the soothsayers, whom the kings of Judah had appointed to sacrifice in the high places throughout the cities of Judah, and all around Jerusalem, along with those who were burning incense to Baal, and to the Sun, and to the Moon, and to the twelve signs, and to the entire army of heaven.
Tambem abrogou os sacerdotes que os reis de Judah estabeleceram para incensarem sobre os altos nas cidades de Judah, e ao redor de Jerusalem, como tambem os que incensavam a Baal, ao sol, e á lua, e aos mais planetas, e a todo o exercito dos céus.
6 And he caused the sacred grove to be carried away from the house of the Lord, outside of Jerusalem, to the steep valley of Kidron. And he burned it there, and reduced it to dust. And he cast the dust over the graves of the common people.
Tambem tirou da casa do Senhor o bosque para fóra de Jerusalem até ao ribeiro de Cedron, e o queimou junto ao ribeiro de Cedron, e o desfez em pó, e lançou o seu pó sobre as sepulturas dos filhos do povo
7 Also, he destroyed the small places of the effeminate, which were in the house of the Lord, for which the women were weaving something like little houses in the sacred grove.
Tambem derribou as casas dos rapazes escandalosos que estavam na casa do Senhor, em que as mulheres teciam casinhas para o bosque.
8 And he gathered together all the priests from the cities of Judah. And he defiled the high places, where the priests were sacrificing, from Geba as far as Beersheba. And he tore down the altars of the gates at the entrance to the gate of Joshua, the leader of the city, which was to the left of the gate of the city.
E a todos os sacerdotes trouxe das cidades de Judah, e profanou os altos em que os sacerdotes incensavam, desde Geba até Berseba: e derribou os altos das portas, o que estava á entrada da porta de Josué, o chefe da cidade, que estava á mão esquerda d'aquelle que entrava pela porta da cidade.
9 Yet truly, the priests of the high places did not ascend to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem. For they would only eat from the unleavened bread in the midst of their brothers.
Mas os sacerdotes dos altos não sacrificavam sobre o altar do Senhor em Jerusalem; porém comiam pães asmos no meio de seus irmãos.
10 Also, he defiled Topheth, which is in the steep valley of the son of Hinnom, so that no one would consecrate his son or his daughter, through fire, to Molech.
Tambem profanou a Topheth, que está no valle dos filhos de Hinnom; para que ninguem fizesse passar a seu filho, ou sua filha, pelo fogo a Molech.
11 Also, he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the Sun, at the entrance to the temple of the Lord, beside the hallway of Nathan-melech, the eunuch, who was in Pharurim. And he burned the chariots of the Sun with fire.
Tambem tirou os cavallos que os reis de Judah tinham ordenado para o sol, á entrada da casa do Senhor, perto da camara de Nathan-melech, o eunucho, que estava no precinto: e os carros do sol queimou a fogo.
12 Also, the altars which were upon the roof of the upper room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the temple of the Lord, the king destroyed. And he hurried from there, and he scattered their ashes into the torrent Kidron.
Tambem o rei derribou os altares que estavam sobre o terraço do cenaculo de Achaz, os quaes fizeram os reis de Judah, como tambem o rei derribou os altares que fizera Manasseh nos dois atrios da casa do Senhor: e esmiuçados os tirou d'ali, e lançou o pó d'elles no ribeiro de Cedron.
13 Also, the high places which were in Jerusalem, to the right side of the Mount of Offense, which Solomon, the king of Israel, had built to Ashtoreth, the idol of the Sidonians, and to Chemosh, the offense of Moab, and to Milcom, the abomination of the sons of Ammon, the king defiled.
O rei profanou tambem os altos que estavam defronte de Jerusalem, á mão direita do monte de Mashith, os quaes edificara Salomão, rei d'Israel, a Astoreth, a abominação dos sidonios, e a Camos, a abominação dos moabitas, e a Milcom, a abominação dos filhos d'Ammon.
14 And he crushed the statues, and he cut down the sacred groves. And he filled their places with the bones of the dead.
Similhantemente quebrou as estatuas, e cortou os bosques, e encheu o seu logar com ossos de homens.
15 Then too, the altar which was in Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, had made: both that altar and the high place he tore down, and burned, and reduced to dust. And then he also set fire to the sacred grove.
E tambem o altar que estava em Bethel, e o alto que fez Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, que tinha feito peccar a Israel, juntamente com aquelle altar tambem o alto derribou; queimando o alto, em pó o esmiuçou, e queimou o bosque.
16 And in that place Josiah, turning, saw the sepulchers which were on the mount. And he sent and took the bones from the sepulchers. And he burned them upon the altar, and he defiled it in accord with the word of the Lord, which was spoken by the man of God, who had predicted these events.
E, virando-se Josias, viu as sepulturas que estavam ali no monte, e enviou, e tomou os ossos das sepulturas, e os queimou sobre aquelle altar, e assim o profanou, conforme palavra do Senhor, que apregoara o homem de Deus, quando apregoou estas palavras.
17 And he said, “What is that monument that I see?” And the citizens of that city responded to him: “It is the sepulcher of the man of God, who came from Judah, and who predicted these events, which you have carried out concerning the altar of Bethel.”
Então disse: Que é este monumento que vejo? E o homens da cidade lhe disseram: É a sepultura do homem de Deus que veiu de Judah, e apregoou estas coisas que fizeste contra este altar de Bethel.
18 And he said: “Permit him. Let no one move his bones.” And his bones have remained untouched, with the bones of the prophet who had arrived from Samaria.
E disse: Deixae-o estar; ninguem mexa nos seus ossos. Assim deixaram estar os seus ossos com os ossos do propheta que viera de Samaria.
19 Then too, all the shrines of the high places, which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord, Josiah took away. And he acted toward them according to all the works that he had done in Bethel.
De mais d'isto tambem Josias tirou todas as casas dos altos que havia nas cidades de Samaria, e que os reis d'Israel tinham feito para provocarem á ira; e lhes fez conforme todos os feitos que tinha feito em Bethel.
20 And all the priests of the high places, who were in that place, he killed upon the altars. And he burned the bones of the men upon them. And he returned to Jerusalem.
E sacrificou todos os sacerdotes dos altos, que havia ali, sobre os altares, e queimou ossos de homens sobre elles: depois voltou a Jerusalem.
21 And he instructed all the people, saying: “Keep the Passover to the Lord your God, according to what has been written in the book of this covenant.”
E o rei deu ordem a todo o povo, dizendo: Celebrae a paschoa ao Senhor vosso Deus, como está escripto no livro do concerto.
22 Now no similar Passover was kept, from the days of the judges, who judged Israel, and from all the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah,
Porque nunca se celebrou tal paschoa como esta desde os dias dos juizes que julgaram a Israel, nem em todos os dias dos reis d'Israel, nem tão pouco dos reis de Judah.
23 as this Passover, which was kept to the Lord in Jerusalem, in the eighteenth year of king Josiah.
Porém no anno decimo oitavo do rei Josias esta paschoa se celebrou ao Senhor em Jerusalem.
24 Then too, Josiah took away those who divined by spirits, and the soothsayers, and the images of the idols, and the defilements, and the abominations, which had been in the land of Judah and Jerusalem, so that he might establish the words of the law, which were written in the book, which Hilkiah, the priest, found in the temple of the Lord.
E tambem os adivinhos, e os feiticeiros, e os terafins, e os idolos, e todas as abominações que se viam na terra de Judah e em Jerusalem, os extirpou Josias, para confirmar as palavras da lei, que estavam escriptas no livro que o sacerdote Hilkias achara na casa do Senhor.
25 There was no king before him similar to him, who returned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his strength, in accord with the entire law of Moses. And after him, there rose up no one similar to him.
E antes d'elle não houve rei similhante, que se convertesse ao Senhor com todo o seu coração, e com toda a sua alma, e com todas as suas forças, conforme toda a lei de Moysés: e depois d'elle nunca se levantou outro tal.
26 Yet truly, the Lord did not turn away from the wrath of his great fury, his fury which was enraged against Judah because of the provocations by which Manasseh had provoked him.
Todavia o Senhor se não tornou do ardor da sua grande ira, com que ardia a sua ira contra Judah, por todas as provocações com que Manasseh o tinha provocado.
27 And so the Lord said: “And now I will remove Judah from my face, just as I removed Israel. And I will cast aside this city, Jerusalem, which I have chosen, and the house, about which I said: My name shall be there.”
E disse o Senhor: Tambem a Judah hei de tirar de diante da minha face, como tirei a Israel, e rejeitarei esta cidade de Jerusalem que elegi, como tambem a casa de que disse: Estará ali o meu nome.
28 Now the rest of the words of Josiah, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
Ora o mais dos successos de Josias, e tudo quanto fez, porventura não está escripto no livro das chronicas dos reis de Judah?
29 During his days, Pharaoh Neco, the king of Egypt, ascended against the king of the Assyrians to the river Euphrates. And king Josiah went out to meet him. And when he had seen him, he was killed at Megiddo.
Nos seus dias subiu Pharaó Neco, rei do Egypto, contra o rei d'Assyria, ao rio Euphrates: e o rei Josias lhe foi ao encontro; e, vendo-o elle, o matou em Megiddo.
30 And his servants carried him dead from Megiddo. And they took him to Jerusalem, and they buried him in his own sepulcher. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah. And they anointed him, and made him king in place of his father.
E seus servos o levaram morto de Megiddo, e o trouxeram a Jerusalem, e o sepultaram na sua sepultura: e o povo da terra tomou a Joachaz, filho de Josias, e o ungiram, e o fizeram rei em logar de seu pae.
31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah, from Libnah.
Tinha Joachaz vinte e tres annos de edade quando começou a reinar, e tres mezes reinou em Jerusalem: e era o nome de sua mãe Hamutal, filha de Jeremias, de Libna.
32 And he did evil before the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
E fez o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor, conforme tudo o que fizeram seus paes.
33 And Pharaoh Neco bound him at Riblah, which is in the land of Hamath, so that he would not reign in Jerusalem. And he imposed a penalty on the land: one hundred talents of silver, and one talent of gold.
Porém Pharaó Neco o mandou prender em Ribla, em terra de Hamath, para que não reinasse em Jerusalem: e á terra impoz pena de cem talentos de prata e um talento de oiro.
34 And Pharaoh Neco appointed Eliakim, the son of Josiah, as king in place of Josiah his father. And he changed his name to Jehoiakim. Then he took Jehoahaz away, and he brought him into Egypt, and there he died.
Tambem Pharaó Neco estabeleceu rei a Eliakim, filho de Josias, em logar de seu pae Josias, e lhe mudou o nome em Joaquim: porém a Joachaz tomou comsigo, e veiu ao Egypto e morreu ali.
35 Now Jehoiakim gave silver and gold to Pharaoh, when he had taxed the land, according to each one who would contribute by the command of Pharaoh. And he exacted both silver and gold from the people of the land, from each one according to his ability, so that he would give to Pharaoh Neco.
E Joaquim deu aquella prata e aquelle oiro a Pharaó; porém fintou a terra, para dar esse dinheiro conforme o mandado de Pharaó: a cada um segundo a sua avaliação demandou a prata e o oiro do povo da terra, para o dar a Pharaó Neco.
36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Zebidah, the daughter of Pedaiah, from Rumah.
Tinha Joaquim vinte e cinco annos de edade quando começou a reinar, e reinou onze annos em Jerusalem: e era o nome de sua mãe Zebuda, filha de Pedaia, de Ruma.
37 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that his fathers had done.
E fez o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor, conforme tudo quanto fizeram seus paes.
