2 Kings 23
1 The king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
Então o rei enviou aviso, e juntaram a ele todos os anciãos de Judá e de Jerusalém.
2 The king went up to the LORD’s house, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him—with the priests, the prophets, and all the people, both small and great; and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the LORD’s house.
E subiu o rei à casa do SENHOR com todos os homens de Judá, e com todos os moradores de Jerusalém, com os sacerdotes e profetas e com todo o povo, desde o menor até o maior; e leu, ouvindo-o eles, todas as palavras do livro do pacto que havia sido achado na casa do SENHOR.
3 The king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the LORD to walk after the LORD and to keep his commandments, his testimonies, and his statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book; and all the people agreed to the covenant.
E pondo-se o rei em pé junto à coluna, fez aliança diante do SENHOR, de que seguiriam o SENHOR, e guardariam seus mandamentos, e seus testemunhos, e seus estatutos, com todo o coração e com toda a alma, e que cumpririam as palavras da aliança que estavam escritas naquele livro. E todo o povo confirmou o pacto.
4 The king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out of the LORD’s temple all the vessels that were made for Baal, for the Asherah, and for all the army of the sky; and he burnt them outside of Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel.
Então mandou el rei ao sumo sacerdote Hilquias, e aos sacerdotes de segunda ordem, e aos guardiões da porta, que tirassem do templo do SENHOR todos os vasos que haviam sido feitos para Baal, e para o bosque, e para toda o exército do céu; e queimou-os fora de Jerusalém no campo de Cedrom, e fez levar as cinzas deles a Betel.
5 He got rid of the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah and in the places around Jerusalem; those also who burnt incense to Baal, to the sun, to the moon, to the planets, and to all the army of the sky.
E tirou aos sacerdotes pagãos, que haviam posto os reis de Judá para que queimassem incenso nos altos nas cidades de Judá, e nos arredores de Jerusalém; e também aos que queimavam incenso a Baal, ao sol e à lua, e às constelações, e a todo o exército do céu.
6 He brought out the Asherah from the LORD’s house, outside of Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burnt it at the brook Kidron, and beat it to dust, and cast its dust on the graves of the common people.
Fez também tirar o bosque fora da casa do SENHOR, fora de Jerusalém, ao ribeiro de Cedrom, e queimou-o no ribeiro de Cedrom, e tornou-o em pó, e lançou o pó dele sobre os sepulcros dos filhos do povo.
7 He broke down the houses of the male shrine prostitutes that were in the LORD’s house, where the women wove hangings for the Asherah.
Além disso derrubou as casas dos sodomitas que estavam na casa do SENHOR, nas quais teciam as mulheres tendas para o bosque.
8 He brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burnt incense, from Geba to Beersheba; and he broke down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man’s left hand at the gate of the city.
E fez vir todos os sacerdotes das cidades de Judá, e profanou os altos de onde os sacerdotes queimavam incenso, desde Gibeá até Berseba; e derrubou os altares das portas que estavam à entrada da porta de Josué, governador da cidade, que estavam à esquerda da porta da cidade.
9 Nevertheless the priests of the high places didn’t come up to the LORD’s altar in Jerusalem, but they ate unleavened bread amongst their brothers.
Porém os sacerdotes dos altos não subiam ao altar do SENHOR em Jerusalém, mas comiam pães sem levedura entre seus irmãos.
10 He defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
Também profanou a Tofete, que está no vale do filho de Hinom, porque ninguém passasse seu filho ou sua filha por fogo a Moloque.
11 He took away the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun, at the entrance of the LORD’s house, by the room of Nathan Melech the officer who was in the court; and he burnt the chariots of the sun with fire.
Tirou também os cavalos que os reis de Judá haviam dedicado ao sol à entrada do templo do SENHOR, junto à câmara de Natã-Meleque eunuco, a qual ficava nos recintos; e queimou ao fogo os carros do sol.
12 The king broke down the altars that were on 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 LORD’s house, and beat them down from there, and cast their dust into the brook Kidron.
Derrubou também o rei os altares que estavam sobre o terraço da sala de Acaz, que os reis de Judá haviam feito, e os altares que havia feito Manassés nos dois átrios da casa do SENHOR; e dali correu e lançou o pó no ribeiro de Cedrom.
13 The king defiled the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mountain of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon.
Também profanou o rei os altos que estavam diante de Jerusalém, à direita do monte da destruição, os quais Salomão rei de Israel havia edificado a Astarote, abominação dos sidônios, e a Camos abominação de Moabe, e a Milcom abominação dos filhos de Amom.
14 He broke in pieces the pillars, cut down the Asherah poles, and filled their places with men’s bones.
E quebrou as estátuas, e arrancou os bosques, e encheu o lugar deles de ossos de homens.
15 Moreover the altar that was at Bethel and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he broke down; and he burnt the high place and beat it to dust, and burnt the Asherah.
Igualmente o altar que estava em Betel, e o alto que havia feito Jeroboão filho de Nebate, o que fez pecar a Israel, aquele altar e o alto destruiu; e queimou o alto, e o tornou em pó, e pôs fogo ao bosque.
16 As Josiah turned himself, he spied the tombs that were there in the mountain; and he sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burnt them on the altar, and defiled it, according to the LORD’s word which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.
E voltou-se Josias, e vendo os sepulcros que estavam ali no monte, enviou e tirou os ossos dos sepulcros, e queimou-os sobre o altar para contaminá-lo, conforme à palavra do SENHOR que havia profetizado o homem de Deus, o qual havia anunciado estes negócios.
17 Then he said, “What monument is that which I see?” The men of the city told him, “It is the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things that you have done against the altar of Bethel.”
E depois disse: Que monumento é este que vejo? E os da cidade lhe responderam: Este é o sepulcro do homem de Deus que veio de Judá, e profetizou estas coisas que tu fizeste sobre o altar de Betel.
18 He said, “Let him be! Let no one move his bones.” So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.
E ele disse: Deixai-o; ninguém mova seus ossos: e assim foram preservados seus ossos, e os ossos do profeta que havia vindo de Samaria.
19 All the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the LORD to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
E todas as casas dos altos que estavam nas cidades de Samaria, as quais haviam feito os reis de Israel para provocar a ira, tirou-as também Josias, e fez delas como havia feito em Betel.
20 He killed all the priests of the high places that were there, on the altars, and burnt men’s bones on them; and he returned to Jerusalem.
Também matou sobre os altares a todos os sacerdotes dos altos que ali estavam, e queimou sobre eles ossos de homens, e voltou-se a Jerusalém.
21 The king commanded all the people, saying, “Keep the Passover to the LORD your God, as it is written in this book of the covenant.”
Então mandou o rei a todo o povo, dizendo: Fazei a páscoa ao SENHOR vosso Deus, conforme o que está escrito no livro desta aliança.
22 Surely there was not kept such a Passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
Não foi feita tal páscoa desde os tempos dos juízes que governaram a Israel, nem em todos os tempos dos reis de Israel, e dos reis de Judá.
23 but in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover was kept to the LORD in Jerusalem.
Aos dezoito anos do rei Josias foi feita aquela páscoa ao SENHOR em Jerusalém.
24 Moreover, Josiah removed those who had familiar spirits, the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the LORD’s house.
Também expulsou Josias os necromantes, adivinhos, e ídolos, e todas as abominações que se viam na terra de Judá e em Jerusalém, para cumprir as palavras da lei que estavam escritas no livro que o sacerdote Hilquias havia achado na casa do SENHOR.
25 There was no king like him before him, who turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the Torah of Moses; and there was none like him who arose after him.
Não houve tal rei antes dele que se convertesse ao SENHOR de todo seu coração, e de toda sua alma, e de todas suas forças, conforme a toda a lei de Moisés; nem depois dele nasceu outro tal.
26 Notwithstanding, the LORD didn’t turn from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger burnt against Judah, because of all the provocation with which Manasseh had provoked him.
Contudo isso, o SENHOR não se desviou do ardor de sua grande ira, com que se havia encendido sua ira contra Judá, por todas as provocações com que Manassés lhe havia irritado.
27 The LORD said, “I will also remove Judah out of my sight, as I have removed Israel; and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, ‘My name shall be there.’”
E disse o SENHOR: Também tirarei de minha presença a Judá, como tirei a Israel, e abominarei a esta cidade que havia escolhido, a Jerusalém, e à casa da qual havia eu dito: Meu nome será ali.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Os demais dos feitos de Josias, e todas as coisas que fez, não está tudo escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?
29 In his days Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates; and King Josiah went against him, but Pharaoh Necoh killed him at Megiddo when he saw him.
Em aqueles dias Faraó Neco rei do Egito subiu contra o rei da Assíria ao rio Eufrates, e saiu contra ele o rei Josias; mas aquele assim que lhe viu, o matou em Megido.
30 His servants carried him dead in a chariot from Megiddo, brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. The people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s place.
E seus servos o puseram em um carro, e trouxeram-no morto de Megido a Jerusalém, e sepultaram-no em seu sepulcro. Então o povo da terra tomou a Jeoacaz filho de Josias, e ungiram-lhe e puseram-no por rei em lugar de seu pai.
31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
De vinte e três anos era Jeoacaz quando começou a reinar, e reinou três meses em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe foi Hamutal, filha de Jeremias de Libna.
32 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that his fathers had done.
E ele fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, conforme todas as coisas que seus pais haviam feito.
33 Pharaoh Necoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
E lançou-o preso Faraó Neco em Ribla na província de Hamate, para que ele não reinasse em Jerusalém; e impôs sobre a terra uma multa de cem talentos de prata, e um de ouro.
34 Pharaoh Necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim; but he took Jehoahaz away, and he came to Egypt and died there.
Então Faraó Neco pôs por rei a Eliaquim filho de Josias, em lugar de Josias seu pai, e mudou-lhe o nome no de Jeoaquim; e tomou a Jeoacaz, e levou-o ao Egito, e morreu ali.
35 Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh. He exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, from everyone according to his assessment, to give it to Pharaoh Necoh.
E Jeoaquim pagou a Faraó a prata e o ouro; mas fez tributar a terra para dar o dinheiro conforme ao mandamento de Faraó, tirando a prata e ouro do povo da terra, de cada um segundo a avaliação de sua riqueza, para dar a Faraó Neco.
36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
De vinte e cinco anos era Jeoaquim quando começou a reinar, e onze anos reinou em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe foi Zebida filha de Pedaías, de Ruma.
37 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that his fathers had done.
E fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, conforme todas as coisas que seus pais haviam feito.
