2 Kings 22
1 Josiah was eight years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 31 years. His mother was Jedidah and his grandfather was Adaiah from Bozkath [town].
Tinha Josias oito anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e reinou trinta e um anos em Jerusalém: e era o nome de sua mãe, Jedida, filha de Adais, de Boskath.
2 Josiah did things that were pleasing to Yahweh and conducted his life as his ancestor King David had done. He completely obeyed [IDM] all the laws of God.
E fez o que era reto aos olhos do Senhor; e andou em todo o caminho de David, seu pai, e não se apartou dele nem para a direita nem para a esquerda.
3 After Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years, he sent his secretary Shaphan, the son of Azaliah and grandson of Meshullam, to the temple with these instructions:
Sucedeu pois que, no ano décimo oitavo do rei Josias, o rei mandou ao escrivão Saphan, filho de Asalias, filho de Mesullam, à casa do Senhor, dizendo:
4 “Go to Hilkiah, the Supreme Priest, and tell him to give me a report, telling me how much money the men who guard the doors of the temple have collected from the people [as offerings].
Sobe a Hilkias, o sumo sacerdote, para que tome o dinheiro que se trouxe à casa do Senhor, o qual os guardas do umbral da porta ajuntaram do povo,
5 Then tell him to give all that money to the men who are supervising the work of repairing the temple.
E que o dêem na mão dos que tem cargo da obra, e estão encarregados da casa do Senhor; para que o dêem àqueles que fazem a obra que há na casa do Senhor, para repararem as quebraduras da casa
6 They must give that money to the carpenters, the builders, and the masons, and they should also buy the timber and the stones that they will use to repair the temple.
Aos carpinteiros, e aos edificadores, e aos pedreiros: e para comprar madeira e pedras lavradas, para repararem a casa.
7 But the men who supervise the work will not be required to make a report on the money that is given to them, saying what they spent it for, because those men are completely honest.”
Porém com eles se não fez conta do dinheiro que se lhes entregara nas suas mãos, porquanto obravam com fidelidade.
8 [After Shaphan said that to Hilkiah] the king’s secretary, Hilkiah said to Shaphan, “I have found in the temple a scroll on which is written the laws [that God gave to Moses]!” Hilkiah gave the scroll to Shaphan, and he started to read it.
Então disse o sumo sacerdote Hilkias, ao escrivão Saphan: Achei o livro da lei na casa do Senhor. E Hilkias deu o livro a Saphan, e ele o leu.
9 Then Shaphan [took the scroll] to the king and said to him, “Your temple guards have taken the money that was in the temple, and they have given it to the men who will supervise the work of repairing the temple.”
Então o escrivão Saphan veio ao rei, e referiu ao rei a resposta; e disse: Teus servos ajuntaram o dinheiro que se achou na casa, e o entregaram na mão dos que tem cargo da obra, que estão encarregados da casa do Senhor.
10 Then Shaphan said to the king, [“I have brought to you] a scroll that Hilkiah gave to me.” And Shaphan started to read it to the king.
Também Saphan, o escrivão, fez saber ao rei, dizendo: O sacerdote Hilkias me deu um livro. E Saphan o leu diante do rei.
11 When the king heard the laws that were written in the scroll that Shaphan was reading to him, he tore his clothes [because he was very dismayed].
Sucedeu pois que, ouvindo o rei as palavras do livro da lei, rasgou os seus vestidos.
12 Then he gave these instructions to Hilkiah, to Shaphan’s son Ahikam, to Micaiah’s son Achbor, and to Asaiah, the king’s special advisor:
E o rei mandou a Hilkias, o sacerdote, e a Ahikam, filho de Saphan, e a Acbor, filho de Micaias, e a Saphan, o escrivão, e a Asaias, o servo do rei, dizendo:
13 “Go and ask Yahweh for me and for all the people of Judah, about what is written in this scroll that has been found. Because [it is clear that] Yahweh is very angry with us because our ancestors disobeyed what was written on this scroll, things that we [should have done].”
Ide, e consultai ao Senhor por mim, e pelo povo, e por todo o Judá, acerca das palavras deste livro que se achou; porque grande é o furor do Senhor, que se acendeu contra nós; porquanto nossos pais não deram ouvidos às palavras deste livro, para fazerem conforme tudo quanto de nós está escrito.
14 So Hilkiah, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to (consult/talk with) a woman whose name was Huldah, who was a prophetess who lived in the newer/northern part of Jerusalem. Her husband Shallum, son of Tikvah and grandson of Harhas, took care of the robes that were worn [in the temple] (OR, [by the king]). [Those five men told her about the scroll].
Então foi o sacerdote Hilkias, e Ahikam, e Acbor, e Saphan, e Asaias à profetiza Hulda, mulher de Sallum, filho de Tikva, o filho de Harhas, o guarda das vestiduras (e ela habitava em Jerusalém, na segunda parte, ) e lhe falaram.
15 She said to them, “This is what Yahweh the God whom we Israelis [worship] says: ‘Go back and tell the king who sent you
E ela lhes disse: Assim diz o Senhor, o Deus de Israel: Dizei ao homem que vos enviou a mim:
16 that this is what Yahweh says: “Listen to this carefully. I am going to cause all the people who live here in Jerusalem to experience a disaster, which is what was written in the scroll that the king has read.
Assim diz o Senhor: Eis que trarei mal sobre este lugar, e sobre os seus moradores, a saber: todas as palavras do livro que leu o rei de Judá.
17 I will do that because they have abandoned me, and they burn incense to [honor] other gods. They have caused me to become very angry by [worshiping] the idols that they have made (OR, by all the wicked things that they have done), and my anger is like [MET] a fire that will not be put out.”
Porquanto me deixaram, e queimaram incenso a outros deuses, para me provocarem à ira por todas as obras das suas mãos, o meu furor se acendeu contra este lugar, e não se apagará.
18 The king of Judah sent you to inquire what I, Yahweh, wanted you to do, so this is what you should say to him: “Because you have heeded what was written in the scroll,
Porém ao rei de Judá, que vos enviou a consultar ao Senhor, assim lhe direis: Assim diz o Senhor o Deus de Israel acerca das palavras, que ouviste:
19 and you repented and humbled yourself when you heard what I said to warn you [about what would happen to] this city and the people who live here and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, I have heard you. I said that I would cause this city to be abandoned. It will be a city whose name people will use when they curse someone. But I have heard what you prayed,
Porquanto o teu coração se enterneceu, e te humilhaste perante o Senhor, quando ouviste o que falei contra este lugar, e contra os seus moradores, que seria para assolação e para maldição, e que rasgaste os teus vestidos, e choraste perante mim, também eu te ouvi, diz o Senhor.
20 so I will allow you to die [EUP] and be buried peacefully. I will cause the people who live here to experience a terrible disaster, but you will not [be alive to] see it.”’” After the men heard that, they returned to King Josiah and gave him that message.
Pelo que eis que eu te ajuntarei a teus pais, e tu serás ajuntado em paz à tua sepultura, e os teus olhos não verão todo o mal que hei de trazer sobre este lugar. Então tornaram a trazer ao rei a resposta.
