2 Chronicles 34
1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years.
Tinha Josias oito annos quando começou a reinar, e trinta e um annos reinou em Jerusalem.
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined neither to the right hand, nor to the left.
E fez o que era recto aos olhos do Senhor: e andou nos caminhos de David, seu pae, sem se desviar d'elles nem para a direita nem para a esquerda.
3 For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images.
Porque no oitavo anno do seu reinado, sendo ainda moço, começou a buscar o Deus de David, seu pae; e no duodecimo anno começou a purificar a Judah e a Jerusalem, dos altos, e dos bosques, e das imagens d'esculptura e de fundição.
4 And they broke down the altars of Baalim in his presence; and the images, that were on high above them, he cut down; and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images, he broke in pieces, and made dust of them, and scattered it upon the graves of them that had sacrificed to them.
E derribaram perante elle os altares de Baalim; e cortou as imagens do sol, que estavam acima d'elles: e os bosques, e as imagens d'esculptura e de fundição quebrou e reduziu a pó, e o espargiu sobre as sepulturas dos que lhes tinham sacrificado.
5 And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.
E os ossos dos sacerdotes queimou sobre os seus altares: e purificou a Judah e a Jerusalem.
6 And so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even to Naphtali, with their surrounding ruins.
O mesmo fez nas cidades de Manasseh, e d'Ephraim, e de Simeão, e ainda até Naphtali; em seus logares ao redor, assolados.
7 And when he had broken down the altars and the groves, and had beaten the graven images into powder, and cut down all the idols throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.
E, tendo derribado os altares, e os bosques, e as imagens de esculptura, até reduzil-os a pó, e tendo cortado todas as imagens do sol em toda a terra d'Israel, então voltou para Jerusalem.
8 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land, and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.
E no anno decimo oitavo do seu reinado, havendo já purificado a terra e a casa, enviou a Saphan, filho d'Asalias, e a Maaseias, maioral da cidade, e a Joah, filho de Joachaz, registrador, para repararem a casa do Senhor, seu Deus.
9 And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites that kept the doors had assembled from the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and from all the remnant of Israel, and from all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem.
E vieram a Hilkias, summo sacerdote, e deram o dinheiro que se tinha trazido á casa do Senhor, e que os levitas que guardavam o umbral tinham colligido da mão de Manasseh, e d'Ephraim, e de todo o resto de Israel, como tambem de todo o Judah e Benjamin: e voltaram para Jerusalem.
10 And they put it in the hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of the LORD, and they gave it to the workmen that wrought in the house of the LORD, to repair and restore the house:
E o deram na mão dos que tinham cargo da obra, e superintendiam sobre a casa do Senhor: e estes o deram aos que faziam a obra, e trabalhavam na casa do Senhor, para concertarem e repararem a casa.
11 Even to the craftsmen and builders they gave it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.
E o deram aos mestres da obra, e aos edificadores, para comprarem pedras lavradas, e madeira para as junturas: e para sobradarem as casas que os reis de Judah tinham destruido.
12 And the men did the work faithfully: and the overseers of them were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to oversee it; and others of the Levites, all that had skill in instruments of music.
E estes homens trabalhavam fielmente na obra; e os superintendentes sobre elles eram: Johath e Obadias, levitas, dos filhos de Merari, como tambem Zacharias e Mesullam, dos filhos dos kohathitas, para avançarem a obra: estes levitas todos eram entendidos em instrumentos de musica.
13 Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and were overseers of all that wrought the work in any manner of service: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters.
Estavam tambem sobre os carregadores e os inspectores de todos os que trabalhavam em alguma obra; e d'entre os levitas eram os escrivães, e os officiaes e os porteiros.
14 And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of the LORD given by Moses.
E, tirando elles o dinheiro que se tinha trazido á casa do Senhor, Hilkias, o sacerdote, achou o livro da lei do Senhor, dada pela mão de Moysés.
15 And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan.
E Hilkias respondeu, e disse a Saphan, o escrivão: Achei o livro da lei na casa do Senhor. E Hilkias deu o livro a Saphan.
16 And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought the king word back again, saying, All that was committed to thy servants, they are doing.
E Saphan levou o livro ao rei, e deu conta tambem ao rei, dizendo: Teus servos fazem tudo quanto se lhes encommendou.
17 And they have gathered the money that was found in the house of the LORD, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and to the hand of the workmen.
E ajuntaram o dinheiro que se achou na casa do Senhor, e o deram na mão dos superintendentes e na mão dos que faziam a obra.
18 Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.
De mais d'isto, Saphan, o escrivão, fez saber ao rei, dizendo: O sacerdote Hilkias me deu um livro. E Saphan leu n'elle perante o rei.
19 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he tore his clothes.
Succedeu pois que, ouvindo o rei as palavras da lei, rasgou os seus vestidos.
20 And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king’s, saying,
E o rei mandou a Hilkias, e a Ahikam, filho de Saphan, e a Abdon, filho de Micah, e a Saphan, o escrivão, e a Asaias, ministro do rei, dizendo:
21 Go, enquire of the LORD for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do after all that is written in this book.
Ide, consultae ao Senhor por mim, e pelo que fica de resto em Israel e em Judah, sobre as palavras d'este livro que se achou; porque grande é o furor do Senhor, que se derramou sobre nós; porquanto nossos paes não guardaram a palavra do Senhor, para fazerem conforme a tudo quanto está escripto n'este livro.
22 And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter: ) and they spoke to her to that effect.
Então Hilkias, e os enviados do rei, foram ter com a prophetiza Hulda, mulher de Sallum, filho de Tokhath, filho d'Hasra, guarda dos vestimentos (e habitava ella em Jerusalem na segunda parte); e fallaram-lhe segundo isto,
23 And she answered them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me,
E ella lhes disse: Assim diz o Senhor, Deus d'Israel: Dizei ao homem que vos enviou a mim:
24 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon its inhabitants, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah:
Assim diz o Senhor: Eis que trarei mal sobre este logar, e sobre os seus habitantes, a saber: todas as maldições que estão escriptas no livro que se leu perante o rei de Judah.
25 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched.
Porque me deixaram, e queimaram incenso perante outros deuses, para me provocarem á ira com toda a obra das suas mãos; portanto o meu furor se derramou sobre este logar, e não se apagará.
26 And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to enquire of the LORD, so shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel concerning the words which thou hast heard;
Porém ao rei de Judah, que vos enviou a consultar ao Senhor, assim lhe direis: Assim diz o Senhor, Deus d'Israel, quanto ás palavras que ouviste:
27 Because thy heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou didst hear his words against this place, and against its inhabitants, and didst humble thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith the LORD.
Porquanto o teu coração se enterneceu, e te humilhaste perante Deus, ouvindo as suas palavras contra este logar, e contra os seus habitantes, e te humilhaste perante mim, e rasgaste os teus vestidos, e choraste perante mim, tambem eu te tenho ouvido, diz o Senhor.
28 Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thy eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of the same. So they brought the king word again.
Eis que te ajuntarei a teus paes, e tu serás recolhido ao teu sepulchro em paz, e os teus olhos não verão todo este mal que hei de trazer sobre este logar e sobre os seus habitantes. E tornaram com esta resposta ao rei.
29 Then the king sent and gathered all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
Então enviou o rei, e ajuntou a todos os anciãos de Judah e Jerusalem.
30 And the king went into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, great and small: and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the LORD.
E o rei subiu á casa do Senhor, com todos os homens de Judah, e os habitantes de Jerusalem, e os sacerdotes, e os levitas, e todo o povo, desde o maior até ao mais pequeno: e elle leu aos ouvidos d'elles todas as palavras do livro do concerto, que se tinha achado na casa do Senhor.
31 And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant which are written in this book.
E poz-se o rei em pé em seu logar, e fez concerto perante o Senhor, para andar após o Senhor, e para guardar os seus mandamentos, e os seus testemunhos, e os seus estatutos, com todo o seu coração, e com toda a sua alma, fazendo as palavras do concerto, que estão escriptas n'aquelle livro.
32 And he caused all that were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand to it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
E fez estar em pé a todos quantos se acharam em Jerusalem e em Benjamin: e os habitantes de Jerusalem fizeram conforme ao concerto de Deus, do Deus de seus paes.
33 And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all that were present in Israel to serve, even to serve the LORD their God. And all his days they departed not from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.
E Josias tirou todas as abominações de todas as terras que eram dos filhos d'Israel; e a todos quantos se acharam em Israel obrigou a que com tal culto servissem ao Senhor seu Deus: todos os seus dias não se desviaram d'após o Senhor, Deus de seus paes.
