1 E ntão o rei deu ordem, e todos os anciãos de Judá e de Jerusalém se ajuntaram a ele.

¶ And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.

2 S ubiu o rei ã casa do Senhor, e com ele todos os homens de Judá, todos os habitantes de Jerusalém, os sacerdotes, os profetas, e todo o povo, desde o menor até o maior; e leu aos ouvidos deles todas as palavras do livro do pacto, que fora encontrado na casa do Senhor.

And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests and the prophets and all the people, from the smallest to the greatest; and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which had been found in the house of the LORD.

3 E ntão o rei, pondo-se em pé junto ã coluna, fez um pacto perante o Senhor, de andar com o Senhor, e guardar os seus mandamentos, os seus testemunhos e os seus estatutos, de todo o coração e de toda a alma, confirmando as palavras deste pacto, que estavam escritas naquele livro; e todo o povo esteve por este pacto.

And the king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the LORD, that they would walk after the LORD and keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in that book. And all the people confirmed the covenant.

4 T ambém o rei mandou ao sumo sacerdote Hilquias, e aos sacerdotes da segunda ordem, e aos guardas da entrada, que tirassem do templo do Senhor todos os vasos que tinham sido feitos para Baal, e para a Asera, e para todo o exército do céu; e os queimou fora de Jerusalém, nos campos de Cedrom, e levou as cinzas deles para Betel.

¶ And the king commanded Hilkiah, the high priest, and the priests of the second order and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that had been made for Baal and for the grove and for all the host of heaven; and he burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron and caused their dust to be carried unto Bethel.

5 D estituiu os sacerdotes idólatras que os reis de Judá haviam constituído para queimarem incenso sobre os altos nas cidades de Judá, e ao redor de Jerusalém, como também os que queimavam incenso a Baal, ao sol, ã lua, aos planetas, e a todo o exército do céu.

And he put down the religious persons whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah and in the places round about Jerusalem; likewise, those that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.

6 T irou da casa do Senhor a Asera e, levando-a para fora de Jerusalém até o ribeiro de Cedrom, ali a queimou e a reduziu a pó, e lançou o pó sobre as sepulturas dos filhos do povo.

And he brought out the graven image of the grove from the house of the LORD outside Jerusalem unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron and stamped it small to powder and cast the powder of it upon the graves of the sons of the people.

7 D errubou as casas dos sodomitas que estavam na casa do Senhor, em que as mulheres teciam cortinas para a Asera.

He likewise broke down the houses of the male cult prostitutes that were by the house of the LORD where the women wove hangings for the grove.

8 T irou das cidades de Judá todos os sacerdotes, e profanou os altos em que os sacerdotes queimavam incenso desde Geba até Berseba; e derrubou os altos que estavam

And 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 broke down the high places of the gates that were in the entering in 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 T odavia os sacerdotes dos altos não sacrificavam sobre o altar do Senhor em Jerusalém, porém comiam pães ázimos no meio de seus irmãos.

Nevertheless, the priests of the high places did not come up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they did eat of the unleavened bread among their brethren.

10 P rofanou a Tofete, que está no vale dos filhos de Hinom, para que ninguém fosse passar seu filho ou sua filha pelo fogo a Moloque.

And he defiled Tophet, which is in the valley of the sons of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.

11 T irou os cavalos que os reis de Judá tinham consagrado ao sol, ã entrada da casa do Senhor, perto da câmara do camareiro Natã-Meleque, a qual estava no recinto; e os carros do sol queimou a fogo.

And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun, at the entrance of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathanmelech, the chamberlain who was in charge of the Parbar, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire.

12 T ambém o rei derrubou os altares que estavam sobre o terraço do cenáculo de Acaz, os quais os reis de Judá tinham feito, como também os altares que Manassés fizera nos dois átrios da casa do Senhor; e, tendo-os esmigalhado, os tirou dali e lançou o pó deles no ribeiro de Cedrom.

And the king cast down the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD and made haste and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.

13 O rei profanou também os altos que estavam ao oriente de Jerusalém, ã direita do Monte de Corrupção, os quais Salomão, rei de Israel, edificara a Astarote, abominação dos sidônios, a Quemós, abominação dos moabitas, e a Milcom, abominação dos filhos de Amom.

Likewise, the king defiled the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon, the king of Israel, had built unto Ashtoreth, the abomination of the Zidonians, and unto Chemosh, the abomination of the Moabites, and unto Milcom, the abomination of the sons of Ammon.

14 S emelhantemente quebrou as colunas, e cortou os aserins, e encheu os seus lugares de ossos de homens.

And he broke the images in pieces and cut down the groves and filled their places with the bones of men.

15 I gualmente o altar que estava em Betel, e o alto feito por Jeroboão, filho de Nebate, que fizera Israel pecar, esse altar e o alto ele os derrubou; queimando o alto, reduziu-o a pó, e queimou a Asera.

Likewise, the altar that was at Bethel and the high place which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, had made: both that altar and the high place he broke down and burned the high place and stamped it small to powder and burned the grove.

16 E , virando-se Josias, viu as sepulturas que estavam ali no monte, e mandou tirar os ossos das sepulturas e os queimou sobre aquele altar, e assim o profanou, conforme a palavra do Senhor proclamada pelo homem de Deus que predissera estas coisas.

And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount and sent and took the bones out of the sepulchres and burned them upon the altar and polluted it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who had proclaimed these words.

17 E ntão perguntou: Que monumento é este que vejo? Responderam- lhe os homens da cidade: É a sepultura do homem de Deus que veio de Judá e predisse estas coisas que acabas de fazer contra este altar de Betel.

Then he said, What title is this that I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, who came from Judah and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Bethel.

18 A o que disse Josias: Deixai-o estar; ninguém mexa nos seus ossos. Deixaram estar, pois, os seus ossos juntamente com os do profeta que viera de Samária.

And he said, Let him alone; let no one move his bones. So his bones were saved along with the bones of the prophet that had come out of Samaria.

19 J osias tirou também todas as casas dos altos que havia nas cidades de Samária, e que os reis de Israel tinham feito para provocarem o Senhor ã ira, e lhes fez conforme tudo o que havia feito em Betel.

And 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 a todos os sacerdotes dos altos que encontrou ali, ele os matou sobre os respectivos altares, onde também queimou ossos de homens; depois voltou a Jerusalém.

And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there upon the altars and burned men’s bones upon them and returned to Jerusalem.

21 E ntão o rei deu ordem a todo o povo dizendo: Celebrai a páscoa ao Senhor vosso Deus, como está escrito neste livro do pacto.

Then the king commanded all the people, saying, Make the passover unto the LORD your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.

22 P ois não se celebrara tal páscoa desde os dias dos juízes que julgaram a Israel, nem em todos os dias dos reis de Israel, nem tampouco nos dias dos reis de Judá.

Such a passover had not been made since the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah.

23 F oi no décimo oitavo ano do rei Josias que esta páscoa foi celebrada ao Senhor em Jerusalém.

In the year eighteen of King Josiah, this passover was made unto the LORD in Jerusalem.

24 A lém disso, os adivinhos, os feiticeiros, os terafins, os ídolos e todas abominações que se viam na terra de Judá e em Jerusalém, Josias os extirpou, para confirmar as palavras da lei, que estavam escritas no livro que o sacerdote Hilquias achara na casa do Senhor.

In the same manner Josiah burned the spiritists, the diviners, the teraphim, the idols, and all the abominations that were spied 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 had found in the house of the LORD.

25 O ra, antes dele não houve rei que lhe fosse semelhante, que se convertesse ao Senhor de todo o seu coração, e de toda a sua alma, e de todas as suas forças, conforme toda a lei de Moisés; e depois dele nunca se levantou outro semelhante.

¶ There was no king before him that converted like this to the LORD with all his heart and all his soul and all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither did any like him arise after him.

26 T odavia o Senhor não se demoveu do ardor da sua grande ira, com que ardia contra Judá por causa de todas as provocações com que Manassés o provocara.

Even with all this the LORD did not turn from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked him to wrath.

27 E disse o Senhor: Também a Judá hei de remover de diante da minha face, como removi a Israel, e rejeitarei esta cidade de Jerusalém que elegi, como também a casa da qual eu disse: Estará ali o meu nome.

And the LORD said, I must also remove Judah out of my sight as I have removed Israel, and I must reject this city Jerusalem which I had chosen and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.

28 O ra, o restante dos atos de Josias, e tudo quanto fez, por ventura não estão escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?

Now the rest of the acts of Josiah and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

29 N os seus dias subiu Faraó-Neco, rei do Egito, contra o rei da Assíria, ao rio Eufrates. E o rei Josias lhe foi ao encontro; e Faraó-Neco o matou em Megido, logo que o viu.

In his days Pharaohnechoh, king of Egypt, went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates; and King Josiah went against him; but as soon as he saw him, he slew him at Megiddo.

30 D e Megido os seus servos o levaram morto num carro, e o trouxeram a Jerusalém, onde o sepultaram no seu sepulcro. E o povo da terra tomou a Jeoacaz, filho de Josias, ungiram-no, e o fizeram rei em lugar de seu pai.

And his slaves carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo and brought him to Jerusalem and buried him in his own sepulchre. Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah, and anointed him and made him king in his father’s stead.

31 J eoacaz tinha vinte e três anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou três meses em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era 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 le fez o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor, conforme tudo o que seus pais haviam feito.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.

33 O ra, Faraó-Neco mandou prendê-lo em Ribla, na terra de Hamate, para que não reinasse em Jerusalém; e ã terra impôs o tributo de cem talentos de prata e um talento de ouro.

And Pharaohnechoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, as he was reigning in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

34 T ambém Faraó-Neco constituiu rei a Eliaquim, filho de Josias, em lugar de Josias, seu pai, e lhe mudou o nome em Jeoiaquim; porém levou consigo a Jeoacaz, que conduzido ao Egito, ali morreu.

Then Pharaohnechoh made Eliakim, the son of Josiah, king in the place of Josiah his father and changed his name to Jehoiakim and took Jehoahaz and carried him to Egypt, and he died there.

35 E Jeoiaquim deu a Faraó a prata e o ouro; porém impôs ã terra uma taxa, para fornecer esse dinheiro conforme o mandado de Faraó. Exigiu do povo da terra, de cada um segundo a sua avaliação, prata e ouro, para o dar a Faraó-Neco.

And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh, but he caused the land to be valued to give this money according to the commandment of Pharaoh; he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of each one according to the estimation of his worth, to give it unto Pharaohnechoh.

36 J eoiaquim tinha vinte e cinco ano quando começou a reinar, e reinou onze anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era Zebida, filha de Pedaías, 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 Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.

37 E le fez o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor, conforme tudo o que seus pais haviam feito.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
