2 Chronicles 29
1 Hezekiah became king when five and twenty years old, and twenty and nine years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Abiyah, the daughter of Zecharyahu.
Tinha Ezequias vinte e cinco anos de idade, quando começou a reinar e reinou vinte e nove anos em Jerusalém: e era o nome de sua mãe Abia, filha de Zacarias.
2 And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that David his father had done.
E fez o que era reto aos olhos do Senhor, conforme a tudo quanto fizera David seu pai.
3 He it was that in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the Lord, and repaired them.
Este, no ano primeiro do seu reinado, no mês primeiro, abriu as portas da casa do Senhor, e as reparou.
4 And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the open place at the east;
E trouxe os sacerdotes, e os levitas, e os ajuntou na praça oriental,
5 And he said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify yourselves now, and sanctity the house of the Lord the God of your fathers, and carry forth the unclean thing out of the sanctuary.
E lhes disse: Ouvi-me, ó levitas, santificai-vos agora, e santificai a casa do Senhor, Deus de vossos pais, e tirai do santuário a imundícia.
6 For our fathers have dealt faithlessly, and have done what is evil in the eyes of the Lord our God, and have forsaken him; and they have turned away their faces from the habitation of the Lord, and turned their backs.
Porque nossos pais transgrediram, e fizeram o que era mal aos olhos do Senhor nosso Deus, e o deixaram; e desviaram os seus rostos do tabernáculo do Senhor, e lhe deram as costas.
7 They had also locked up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and incense have they not burnt, and the burnt-offerings have they not offered in the sanctuary, unto the God of Israel.
Também fecharam as portas do alpendre, e apagaram as lâmpadas, e não queimaram incenso nem ofereceram holocaustos no santuário, ao Deus de Israel.
8 Wherefore the wrath of the Lord is upon Judah and Jerusalem. and he hath rendered them to be a horror, an astonishment, and a hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
Pelo que veio grande ira do Senhor sobre Judá e Jerusalém, e os entregou à perturbação, à assolação, e ao assobio, como vós o estais vendo com os vossos olhos.
9 And, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons, and our daughters, and our wives are in captivity because of this.
Porque eis que nossos pais cairam à espada, e nossos filhos, e nossas filhas, e nossas mulheres por isso estiveram em cativeiro.
10 Now it is in my heart to make a covenant for the Lord the God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us.
Agora me tem vindo ao coração, que façamos um concerto com o Senhor, Deus de Israel; para que se desvie de nós o ardor da sua ira
11 My sons, be not negligent now; for of you hath the Lord made choice to stand before him, to minister unto him, and that ye might be unto him ministers and those that burn incense.
Agora, filhos meus, não sejais negligentes; pois o Senhor vos tem escolhido para estardes diante dele para o servirdes, e para serdes seus ministros e queimadores de incenso.
12 Then arose the Levites, Machath the son of 'Amassai, and Joel the son of 'Azaryahu, of the sons of the Kehathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of 'Abdi, and 'Azaryahu the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershunites, Joach the son of Zimmah, and 'Eden the son of Joach:
Então se levantaram os levitas, Mahath, filho d'Amasai, e Joel filho de Azarias, dos filhos dos kohathitas: e dos filhos de Merari, Kis, filho d'Abdi, e Azarias, filho de Jehalelel: e dos gersonitas, Joah, filho de Zimma, e Éden filho de Joah;
13 And of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri, and Je'iel; and of the sons of Assaph, Zecharyahu and Matthanyahu;
E dentre os filhos de Elisaphan, Simri e Jeiel: dentre os filhos d'Asaph, Zacarias e Matthanias:
14 And of the sons of Heman, Jechiel and Shim'i; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shema'yah and 'Uzziel;
E dentre os filhos d'Heman, Jehiel e Simei: e dentre os filhos de Jeduthun, Semaias e Uziel.
15 And they gathered together their brethren, and they sanctified themselves, and came, according to the command of the king, by the words of the Lord, to cleanse the house of the Lord.
E ajuntaram a seus irmãos, e santificaram-se e vieram conforme ao mandado do rei, pelas palavras do Senhor, para purificarem a casa do Senhor.
16 And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the Lord, to cleanse it; and they brought out every thing unclean which they found in the temple of the Lord into the court of the house of the Lord; and the Levites received it, to carry it out abroad unto the brook Kidron.
E os sacerdotes entraram dentro da casa do Senhor, para a purificar, e tiraram para fora, ao pátio da casa do Senhor, toda a imundícia que acharam no templo do Senhor: e os levitas a tomaram, para a levarem para fora, ao ribeiro de Cedron.
17 And they commenced on the first day of the first month to sanctify; and on the eighth day of the month they came to the porch of the Lord, and they sanctified the house of the Lord in eight days; and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
Começaram pois a santificar ao primeiro do mês primeiro: e ao oitavo dia do mês vieram ao alpendre do Senhor, e santificaram a casa do Senhor em oito dias: e no dia décimo sexto do primeiro mês acabaram.
18 Then went they in the inner part [of the palace] to king Hezekiah, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the Lord, and the altar of burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and the table of shewbread, and all its vessels.
Então entraram para dentro, ao rei Ezequias, e disseram: Já purificamos toda a casa do Senhor, como também o altar do holocausto com todos os seus vasos e a mesa da proposição com todos os seus vasos.
19 Moreover all the vessels, which king Achaz had cast aside during his reign in his faithlessness, have we put in order and sanctified: and, behold, they are before the altar of the Lord.
Também todos os vasos que o rei Achaz no seu reinado lançou fora, na sua transgressão, já preparamos e santificamos: e eis que estão diante do altar do Senhor
20 Then arose king Hezekiah early, and gathered together the princes of the city, and went up to the house of the Lord.
Então o rei Ezequias se levantou de madrugada, e ajuntou os maiorais da cidade, e subiu à casa do Senhor.
21 And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven sheep, and seven he-goats, as a sin-offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he ordered the sons of Aaron the priests to offer [them] on the altar of the Lord.
E trouxeram sete novilhos e sete carneiros, e sete cordeiros, e sete bodes, para sacrifício pelo pecado, pelo reino, e pelo santuário, e por Judá, e disse aos filhos de Aarão, os sacerdotes, que os oferecessem sobre o altar do Senhor.
22 So they slaughtered the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar; and they slaughtered the rams, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar; they also slaughtered the sheep, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar.
E eles mataram os bois, e os sacerdotes tomaram o sangue e o espargiram sobre o altar: também mataram os carneiros, e espargiram o sangue sobre o altar: semelhantemente mataram os cordeiros, e espargiram o sangue sobre o altar.
23 And they brought near the he-goats of the sin-offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them:
Então trouxeram os bodes para sacrifício pelo pecado, perante o rei e a congregação, e lhes impuzeram as suas mãos.
24 And the priests slaughtered them, and they made an expiation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel; because for all the people, said the king, should be the burnt-offering and the sin-offering.
E os sacerdotes os mataram, e com o seu sangue fizeram expiação do pecado sobre o altar, para reconciliar a todo o Israel: porque o rei tinha ordenado que se fizesse aquele holocausto e sacrifício pelo pecado, por todo o Israel.
25 And he stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the command of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: because from the Lord was this commandment by means of his prophets.
E pôs os levitas na casa do Senhor com címbalos, com alaúdes, e com harpas, conforme ao mandado de David e de Gad, o vidente do rei, e do profeta Nathan: porque este mandado veio do Senhor, por mão de seus profetas.
26 And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
Estavam pois os levitas em pé com os instrumentos de David, e os sacerdotes com as trombetas.
27 And Hezekiah ordered to offer the burnt-offering on the altar. And when the burnt-offering began, the song of the Lord began [also] with the trumpets, and with the instruments of David the king of Israel.
E deu ordem Ezequias que oferecessem o holocausto sobre o altar, e ao tempo em que começou o holocausto, começou também o canto do Senhor, com as trombetas e com os instrumentos de David, rei de Israel.
28 And all the assembly prostrated themselves, and the song sounded, and the trumpeters blew; all this [continued] until the burnt-offering was completed.
E toda a congregação se prostrou, quando cantavam o canto, e as trombetas se tocavam: tudo isto até o holocausto se acabar.
29 And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him kneeled down and prostrated themselves.
E acabando de o oferecer, o rei e todos quantos com ele se acharam se prostraram e adoraram.
30 And king Hezekiah and the princes then said to the Levites to sing praises unto the Lord with the words of David, and of Assaph the seer. And they sang praises with great joy, and they bowed their heads and prostrated themselves.
Então disse o rei Ezequias, e os maiorais, aos levitas que louvassem ao Senhor com as palavras de David, e d'Asaph, o vidente. E o louvaram com alegria e se inclinaram e adoraram.
31 Then commenced Hezekiah, and said, Now have ye consecrated yourselves unto the Lord: come near and bring sacrifices and thanksgiving-offerings unto the house of the Lord. And the assembly brought in sacrifices and thanksgiving-offerings, and every one who was liberal of heart, burnt-offerings.
E respondeu Ezequias, e disse: Agora vos consagrastes a vós mesmos ao Senhor; chegai-vos e trazei sacrifícios e ofertas de louvor à casa do Senhor. E a congregação trouxe sacrifícios e ofertas de louvor, e todo o voluntário de coração, holocaustos.
32 And the number of the burnt-offerings, which the assembly brought, was seventy bullocks, one hundred rams, [and] two hundred sheep: as a burnt-offering unto the Lord were all these.
E o número dos holocaustos, que a congregação trouxe, foi de setenta bois, cem carneiros, duzentos cordeiros: tudo isto em holocausto para o Senhor.
33 And the hallowed sacrifices were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
Houve, também de coisas consagradas, seiscentos bois e três mil ovelhas.
34 Only the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt-offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites assisted them, till the work was ended, and until the other priests could sanctify themselves, for the Levites were of upright heart to sanctify themselves more than the priests.
Eram porém os sacerdotes mui poucos, e não podiam esfolar a todos os holocaustos; pelo que seus irmãos os levitas os ajudaram, até a obra se acabar, e até que os outros sacerdotes se santificaram; porque os levitas foram mais retos de coração, para se santificarem, do que os sacerdotes.
35 But there were also burnt-offerings in abundance, with the fat of the peace-offerings, and the drink-offerings for the burnt-offerings. So was [again] established the service of the house of the Lord.
E houve também holocaustos em abundância, com a gordura das ofertas pacíficas, e com as ofertas de licor para os holocaustos. Assim se estabeleceu o ministério da casa do Senhor.
36 And Hezekiah rejoiced, with all the people, over that which God had prepared for the people; because the thing occurred suddenly.
E Ezequias, e todo o povo se alegraram, de que Deus tinha preparado o povo; porque apressuradamente se fez esta obra.
