2 Crônicas 34

1De oito anos era Josias quando começou a reinar, e trinta e um anos reinou em Jerusalém.

1Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years.

2Este fez o que era correto aos olhos do SENHOR, e andou nos caminhos de Davi seu pai, sem desviar-se à direita nem à esquerda.

2And 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.

3A os oito anos de seu reinado, sendo ainda jovem, começou a buscar ao Deus de Davi seu pai; e aos doze anos começou a limpar a Judá e a Jerusalém dos altos, bosques, esculturas, e imagens de fundição.

3For 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.

4E derrubaram diante dele os altares dos baalins, e fez pedaços as imagens do sol, que estavam postas encima; despedaçou também os bosques, e as esculturas e estátuas de fundição, e esmigalhou-as, e dispersou o pó sobre os sepulcros dos que a elas haviam sacrificado.

4And they brake 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 brake in pieces, and made dust of them, and strowed it upon the graves of them that had sacrificed unto them.

5Queimou ademais os ossos dos sacerdotes sobre seus altares, e limpou a Judá e a Jerusalém.

5And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.

6O mesmo fez nas cidades de Manassés, Efraim, e Simeão, até em Naftali, com seus lugares assolados ao redor.

6And so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their mattocks round about.

7E quando havia derrubado os altares e os bosques, e quebrado e esmigalhado as esculturas, e destruído todos os ídolos por toda a terra de Israel, voltou-se a Jerusalém.

7And 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.

8Aos dezoito anos de seu reinado, depois de haver limpado a terra, e a casa, enviou a Safã filho de Azalias, e a Maaseias governador da cidade, e a Joá filho de Jeoacaz, chanceler, para que reparassem a casa do SENHOR seu Deus.

8Now 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.

9Os quais vieram a Hilquias, grande sacerdote, e deram o dinheiro que havia sido posto na casa do SENHOR, que os levitas que guardavam a porta haviam recolhido da mão de Manassés e de Efraim e de todas as restantes de Israel, e de todo Judá e Benjamim, havendo depois voltado a Jerusalém.

9And 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 gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem.

10E entregaram-no em mão dos que faziam a obra, que eram capatazes na casa do SENHOR; os quais o davam aos que faziam a obra e trabalhavam na casa do SENHOR, para reparar e restaurar o templo.

10And 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 amend the house:

11Davam também aos oficiais e pedreiros para que comprassem pedra lavrada, e madeira para as juntas, e para cobertura das casas, as quais haviam destruído os reis de Judá.

11Even to the artificers and builders gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.

12E estes homens procediam com fidelidade na obra: e eram seus governadores Jaate e Obadias, levitas dos filhos de Merari; e Zacarias e Mesulão dos filhos de Coate, para que ativassem a obra; e dos levitas, todos os entendidos em instrumentos musicais.

12And 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 set it forward; and other of the Levites, all that could skill of instruments of musick.

13Também supervisionavam sobre os operários, e eram capatazes dos que se ocupavam em qualquer classe de obra; e dos levitas havia escribas, governadores, e porteiros.

13Also 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.

14E ao tirar o dinheiro que havia sido posto na casa do SENHOR, Hilquias o sacerdote achou o livro da lei do SENHOR dada por meio de Moisés.

14And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found a book of the law of the LORD given by Moses.

15E dando conta Hilquias, disse a Safã escriba: Eu ei achado o livro da lei na casa do SENHOR. E deu Hilquias o livro a Safã.

15And 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.

16E Safã o levou ao rei, e contou-lhe o negócio, dizendo: Teus servos cumpriram tudo o que lhes foi encarregado.

16And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought the king word back again, saying, All that was committed to thy servants, they do it.

17Reuniram o dinheiro que se achou na casa do SENHOR, e o entregaram em mão dos comissionados, e em mão dos que fazem a obra.

17And they have gathered together 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.

18A mais disto, declarou Safã escriba ao rei, dizendo: O sacerdote Hilquias me deu um livro. E leu Safã nele diante do rei.

18Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.

19E logo que o rei ouviu as palavras da lei, rasgou suas vestes;

19And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes.

20E mandou a Hilquias e a Aicã filho de Safã, e a Abdom filho de Mica, e a Safã escriba, e a Asaías servo do rei, dizendo:

20And 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,

21Andai, e consultai ao SENHOR de mim, e dos restantes de Israel e de Judá, acerca das palavras do livro que se achou; porque grande é o furor do SENHOR que há caído sobre nós, porquanto nossos pais não guardaram a palavra do SENHOR, para fazer conforme tudo o que está escrito neste livro.

21Go, 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.

22Então Hilquias e os do rei foram a Hulda profetisa, mulher de Salum, filho de Tocate, filho de Harás, guarda das vestimentas, a qual morava em Jerusalém na segunda parte da cidade e disseram-lhe as palavras ditas.

22And 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 college:) and they spake to her to that effect.

23E ela respondeu: o SENHOR o Deus de Israel disse assim: Dizei ao homem que vos enviou a mim, que assim disse o SENHOR:

23And she answered them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me,

24Eis que eu trago mal sobre este lugar, e sobre os moradores dele, e todas as maldições que estão escritas no livro que leram diante do rei de Judá:

24Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah:

25Por quanto me deixaram, e sacrificaram a deuses alheios, provocando-me à ira em todas as obras de suas mãos; portanto meu furor destilará sobre este lugar, e não se apagará.

25Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto 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.

26Mas ao rei de Judá, que vos enviou a consultar ao SENHOR, assim lhe direis: o SENHOR o Deus de Israel disse assim: Porquanto ouviste as palavras do livro,

26And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to enquire of the LORD, so shall ye say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel concerning the words which thou hast heard;

27E teu coração se enterneceu, e te humilhaste diante de Deus ao ouvir suas palavras sobre este lugar, e sobre seus moradores, e te humilhaste diante de mim, e rasgaste tuas vestes, e choraste em minha presença, eu também te ei ouvido, diz o SENHOR.

27Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith the LORD.

28Eis que eu te recolherei com teus pais, e serás recolhido em teus sepulcros em paz, e teus olhos não verão todo o mal que eu trago sobre este lugar, e sobre os moradores dele. E eles referiram ao rei a resposta.

28Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine 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.

29Então o rei enviou e juntou todos os anciãos de Judá e de Jerusalém.

29Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.

30E subiu o rei à casa do SENHOR, e com ele todos os homens de Judá, e os moradores de Jerusalém, e os sacerdotes, e os levitas, e todo o povo desde o maior até o menor; e leu a ouvidos deles todas as palavras do livro do pacto que havia sido achado na casa do SENHOR.

30And the king went up 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 ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the LORD.

31E estando o rei em pé em seu lugar, fez aliança diante do SENHOR de caminhar após o SENHOR, e de guardar seus mandamentos, seus testemunhos, e seus estatutos, de todo seu coração e de toda sua alma, praticando as palavras do pacto que estavam escritas naquele livro.

31And 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.

32E fez que se obrigassem a ele todos os que estavam em Jerusalém e em Benjamim: e os moradores de Jerusalém fizeram conforme ao pacto de Deus, do Deus de seus pais.

32And 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.

33E tirou Josias todas as abominações de todas as terras dos filhos de Israel, e fez a todos os que se acharam em Israel servirem ao SENHOR seu Deus. Não se desviaram de seguir o SENHOR o Deus de seus pais, todo o tempo que ele viveu.

33And 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.
