2 Chronicles 31
1 Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake in pieces the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim, and brake down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.
E acabando tudo isto, todos os israelitas que ali se acharam sairam ás cidades de Judah e quebraram as estatuas cortaram os bosques, e derribaram os altos e altares por toda Judah e Benjamin, como tambem em Ephraim e Manasseh, até que tudo destruiram: então tornaram todos os filhos de Israel, cada um para sua possessão, para as cidades d'elles.
2 And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camp of the LORD.
E estabeleceu Ezequias as turmas dos sacerdotes e levitas, segundo as suas turmas, a cada um segundo o seu ministerio; aos sacerdotes e levitas para o holocausto e para as offertas pacificas; para ministrarem, e louvarem, e cantarem, ás portas dos arraiaes do Senhor.
3 [He appointed] also the king’s portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, [to wit], for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of the LORD.
Tambem estabeleceu a parte da fazenda do rei para os holocaustos; para os holocaustos da manhã e da tarde, e para os holocaustos dos sabbados, e das luas novas, e das solemnidades: como está escripto na lei do Senhor.
4 Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the law of the LORD.
E ordenou ao povo, aos moradores de Jerusalem, que dessem a parte dos sacerdotes e levitas; para que se podessem esforçar na lei do Senhor.
5 And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel gave in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly.
E, depois que este dito se divulgou, os filhos de Israel trouxeram muitas primicias de trigo, mosto, e azeite, e mel, e de toda a novidade do campo: tambem os dizimos de tudo trouxeram em abundancia.
6 And the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of dedicated things which were consecrated unto the LORD their God, and laid them by heaps.
E aos filhos de Israel e de Judah, que habitavam na cidade de Judah tambem trouxeram dizimos das vaccas e das ovelhas, e dizimos das coisas sagradas que foram consagradas ao Senhor seu Deus: e fizeram muitos montões.
7 In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
No terceiro mez começaram a fazer os primeiros montões: e no setimo mez acabaram.
8 And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD, and his people Israel.
Vindo pois Ezequias e os principes, e vendo aquelles montões, bemdisseram ao Senhor e ao seu povo Israel.
9 Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
E perguntou Ezequias aos sacerdotes e aos levitas ácerca d'aquelles montões.
10 And Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, Since [the people] began to bring the oblations into the house of the LORD, we have eaten and had enough, and have left plenty: for the LORD hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.
E Azarias, o summo sacerdote da casa de Zadok, lhe fallou, dizendo: Desde que esta offerta se começou a trazer á casa do Senhor, houve que comer e de que se fartar, e ainda sobejo em abundancia; porque o Senhor bemdisse ao seu povo, e sobejou esta abastança.
11 Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the LORD; and they prepared them.
Então disse Ezequias que se preparassem camaras na casa do Senhor, e as prepararam.
12 And they brought in the oblations and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: and over them Conaniah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was second.
Ali metteram fielmente as offertas, e os dizimos, e as coisas consagradas: e tinha cargo d'isto Conanias, o levita maioral, e Simei, seu irmão, o segundo.
13 And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.
E Jehiel, e Azarias, e Nahath, e Asahel, e Jerimoth, e Jozabad, e Eliel, e Ismachias, e Mahath, e Benaias, eram superintendentes debaixo da mão de Conanias e Simei seu irmão, por mandado do rei Ezequias, e de Azarias, maioral da casa de Deus.
14 And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter at the east [gate], was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of the LORD, and the most holy things.
E Kore filho de Jimna, o levita, porteiro da banda do oriente, tinha cargo das offertas voluntarias de Deus, para distribuir as offertas alçadas do Senhor e as coisas sanctissimas.
15 And under him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their set office, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small:
E debaixo das suas ordens estavam Eden, e Miniamin, e Jesua, e Semaias, Amorias, e Sechanias nas cidades dos sacerdotes, para distribuirem com fidelidade a seus irmãos, segundo as suas turmas, tanto aos pequenos como aos grandes;
16 beside them that were reckoned by genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even every one that entered into the house of the LORD, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their charges according to their courses;
Além dos que estavam contados pelas genealogias dos machos, da edade de tres annos e d'ahi para cima; a todos os que entravam na casa do Senhor, para a obra de cada dia no seu dia, pelo seu ministerio nas suas guardas, segundo as suas turmas.
17 and them that were reckoned by genealogy of the priests by their fathers’ houses, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses;
E os que estavam contados pelas genealogias dos sacerdotes, segundo a casa de seus paes; como tambem os levitas, da edade de vinte annos e d'ahi para cima, nas suas guardas, segundo as suas turmas:
18 and them that were reckoned by genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation: for in their set office they sanctified themselves in holiness:
Como tambem conforme ás genealogias, com todas as suas creanças, suas mulheres, e seus filhos, e suas filhas, por toda a congregação: porque com fidelidade estes se sanctificavam nas coisas consagradas.
19 Also for the sons of Aaron the priests, which were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city; there were men that were expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogy among the Levites.
Tambem d'entre os filhos d'Aarão havia sacerdotes nos campos dos arrabaldes das suas cidades, em cada cidade, homens que foram contados pelos seus nomes para distribuirem as porções a todo o macho entre os sacerdotes e a todos os que estavam contados pelas genealogias entre os levitas.
20 And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah; and he wrought that which was good and right and faithful before the LORD his God.
E assim fez Ezequias em todo o Judah: e fez o que era bom, e recto, e verdadeiro, perante o Senhor seu Deus.
21 And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
E em toda a obra que começou no serviço da casa de Deus, e na lei, e nos mandamentos, para buscar a seu Deus, com todo o seu coração o fez, e prosperou.
