2 Reis 23
1 Então o rei enviou, e todos os anciãos de Judá e de Jerusalém se ajuntaram a ele.
The king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
2 E o rei subiu à casa do Senhor, e com ele todos os homens de Judá, e todos o moradores de Jerusalém, e os sacerdotes, e os profetas, e todo o povo, desde o mais pequeno até ao maior: e leu aos ouvidos deles todas as palavras do livro do concerto, que se achou na casa do Senhor.
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.
3 E o rei se pôs em pé junto à coluna, e fez o concerto perante o Senhor, para andarem atráz do Senhor, e guardarem os seus mandamentos, e os seus testemunhos, e os seus estatutos, com todo o coração, e com toda a alma, confirmando as palavras deste concerto, que estavam escritas naquele livro; e todo o povo esteve por este concerto.
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.
4 E o rei mandou ao sumo sacerdote Hilkias, e aos sacerdotes da segunda ordem, e aos guardas do umbral da porta, que se tirassem do templo do Senhor todos os vasos que se tinham feito para Baal, e para o bosque, e para todo o exército dos céus: e os queimou fora de Jerusalém, nos campos de Cedron, e levou o pó deles a Bethel.
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 burned them outside of Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel.
5 Também abrogou os sacerdotes que os reis de Judá estabeleceram para incensarem sobre os altos nas cidades de Judá, e ao redor de Jerusalém, como também os que incensavam a Baal, ao sol, e à lua, e aos mais planetas, e a todo o exército dos céus.
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 burned incense to Baal, to the sun, to the moon, to the planets, and to all the army of the sky.
6 Também tirou da casa do Senhor o bosque para fora de Jerusalém até ao ribeiro de Cedron, e o queimou junto ao ribeiro de Cedron, e o desfez em pó, e lançou o seu pó sobre as sepulturas dos filhos do povo
He brought out the Asherah from the LORD’s house, outside of Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and beat it to dust, and cast its dust on the graves of the common people.
7 Também derribou as casas dos rapazes escandalosos que estavam na casa do Senhor, em que as mulheres teciam casinhas para o bosque.
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.
8 E a todos os sacerdotes trouxe das cidades de Judá, e profanou os altos em que os sacerdotes incensavam, desde Geba até Berseba: e derribou os altos das portas, o que estava à entrada da porta de Josué, o chefe da cidade, que estava à mão esquerda daquele que entrava pela porta da cidade.
He brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned 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.
9 Mas os sacerdotes dos altos não sacrificavam sobre o altar do Senhor em Jerusalém; porém comiam pães asmos no meio de seus irmãos.
Nevertheless the priests of the high places didn’t come up to the LORD’s altar in Jerusalem, but they ate unleavened bread among their brothers.
10 Também profanou a Topheth, que está no vale dos filhos de Hinnom; para que ninguém fizesse passar a seu filho, ou sua filha, pelo fogo a Molech.
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.
11 Também tirou os cavalos que os reis de Judá tinham ordenado para o sol, à entrada da casa do Senhor, perto da câmara de Nathan-melech, o eunuco, que estava no precinto: e os carros do sol queimou a fogo.
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 burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
12 Também o rei derribou os altares que estavam sobre o terraço do cenáculo de Achaz, os quais fizeram os reis de Judá, como também o rei derribou os altares que fizera Manasseh nos dois átrios da casa do Senhor: e esmiuçados os tirou dali, e lançou o pó deles no ribeiro de Cedron.
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.
13 O rei profanou também os altos que estavam defronte de Jerusalém, à mão direita do monte de Mashith, os quais edificara Salomão, rei de Israel, a Astoreth, a abominação dos sidônios, e a Camos, a abominação dos moabitas, e a Milcom, a abominação dos filhos de Ammon.
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.
14 Semelhantemente quebrou as estátuas, e cortou os bosques, e encheu o seu lugar com ossos de homens.
He broke in pieces the pillars, cut down the Asherah poles, and filled their places with men’s bones.
15 E também o altar que estava em Bethel, e o alto que fez Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, que tinha feito pecar a Israel, juntamente com aquele altar também o alto derribou; queimando o alto, em pó o esmiuçou, e queimou o bosque.
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 burned the high place and beat it to dust, and burned the Asherah.
16 E, virando-se Josias, viu as sepulturas que estavam ali no monte, e enviou, e tomou os ossos das sepulturas, e os queimou sobre aquele altar, e assim o profanou, conforme palavra do Senhor, que apregoara o homem de Deus, quando apregoou estas palavras.
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 burned them on the altar, and defiled it, according to the LORD’s word which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.
17 Então disse: Que é este monumento que vejo? E o homens da cidade lhe disseram: É a sepultura do homem de Deus que veio de Judá, e apregoou estas coisas que fizeste contra este altar de Bethel.
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.”
18 E disse: deixai-o estar; ninguém mexa nos seus ossos. Assim deixaram estar os seus ossos com os ossos do profeta que viera de Samaria.
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.
19 De mais disto também Josias tirou todas as casas dos altos que havia nas cidades de Samaria, e que os reis de Israel tinham feito para provocarem à ira; e lhes fez conforme todos os feitos que tinha feito em Bethel.
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.
20 E sacrificou todos os sacerdotes dos altos, que havia ali, sobre os altares, e queimou ossos de homens sobre eles: depois voltou a Jerusalém.
He killed all the priests of the high places that were there, on the altars, and burned men’s bones on them; and he returned to Jerusalem.
21 E o rei deu ordem a todo o povo, dizendo: celebrai a pascoa ao Senhor vosso Deus, como está escrito no livro do concerto.
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.”
22 Porque nunca se celebrou tal pascoa como esta desde os dias dos juízes que julgaram a Israel, nem em todos os dias dos reis de Israel, nem tão pouco dos reis de Judá.
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;
23 Porém no ano décimo oitavo do rei Josias esta pascoa se celebrou ao Senhor em Jerusalém.
but in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover was kept to the LORD in Jerusalem.
24 E também os adivinhos, e os feiticeiros, e os terafins, e os ídolos, e todas as abominações que se viam na terra de Judá e em Jerusalém, os extirpou Josias, para confirmar as palavras da lei, que estavam escritas no livro que o sacerdote Hilkias achara na casa do Senhor.
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.
25 E antes dele não houve rei semelhante, que se convertesse ao Senhor com todo o seu coração, e com toda a sua alma, e com todas as suas forças, conforme toda a lei de Moisés: e depois dele nunca se levantou outro tal.
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 law of Moses; and there was none like him who arose after him.
26 Todavia o Senhor se não tornou do ardor da sua grande ira, com que ardia a sua ira contra Judá, por todas as provocações com que Manasseh o tinha provocado.
Notwithstanding, the LORD didn’t turn from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocation with which Manasseh had provoked him.
27 E disse o Senhor: também a Judá hei de tirar de diante da minha face, como tirei a Israel, e rejeitarei esta cidade de Jerusalém que elegi, como também a casa de que disse: Estará ali o meu nome.
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.’”
28 Ora o mais dos sucessos de Josias, e tudo quanto fez, porventura não está escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?
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?
29 Nos seus dias subiu faraó Neco, rei do Egito, contra o rei d'Assyria, ao rio Euphrates: e o rei Josias lhe foi ao encontro; e, vendo-o ele, o matou em Megiddo.
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.
30 E seus servos o levaram morto de Megiddo, e o trouxeram a Jerusalém, e o sepultaram na sua sepultura: e o povo da terra tomou a Joachaz, filho de Josias, e o ungiram, e o fizeram rei em lugar de seu pai.
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.
31 Tinha Joachaz vinte e três anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e três meses reinou em Jerusalém: e era o nome de sua mãe Hamutal, filha de Jeremias, de Libna.
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.
32 E fez o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor, conforme tudo o que fizeram seus pais.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that his fathers had done.
33 Porém faraó Neco o mandou prender em Ribla, em terra de Hamath, para que não reinasse em Jerusalém: e à terra impoz pena de cem talentos de prata e um talento de ouro.
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.
34 Também faraó Neco estabeleceu rei a Eliakim, filho de Josias, em lugar de seu pai Josias, e lhe mudou o nome em Joaquim: porém a Joachaz tomou consigo, e veio ao Egito e morreu ali.
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.
35 E Joaquim deu aquela prata e aquele ouro a faraó; porém fintou a terra, para dar esse dinheiro conforme o mandado de faraó: a cada um segundo a sua avaliação demandou a prata e o ouro do povo da terra, para o dar a faraó Neco.
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.
36 Tinha Joaquim vinte e cinco anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e reinou onze anos em Jerusalém: e era o nome de sua mãe Zebuda, filha de Pedaia, de Ruma.
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.
37 E fez o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor, conforme tudo quanto fizeram seus pais.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that his fathers had done.
