1 A cabado tudo isso, todos os israelitas que ali estavam saíram

Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke the sacred pillars in pieces, cut down the wooden images, and threw down the high places and the altars—from all Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh—until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned to their own cities, every man to his possession.

2 E Ezequias estabeleceu as turmas dos sacerdotes e levitas, turma por turma, cada um segundo o seu serviço, tanto os sacerdotes como os levitas, para os holocaustos e as ofertas pacíficas, para ministrarem, renderem ações de graças e cantarem louvores nas portas do arraial do Senhor.

And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites according to their divisions, each man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and peace offerings, to serve, to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camp of the Lord.

3 A contribuição da fazenda do rei foi designada para os holocaustos: os holocaustos da manhã e da tarde, e os holocaustos dos sábados, das luas novas e das festas fixas, como está escrito na lei do Senhor.

The king also appointed a portion of his possessions for the burnt offerings: for the morning and evening burnt offerings, the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths and the New Moons and the set feasts, as it is written in the Law of the Lord.

4 A lém disso ordenou ao povo que morava em Jerusalém que desse a porção pertencente aos sacerdotes e aos levitas, para que eles se dedicassem ã lei do Senhor.

Moreover he commanded the people who dwelt in Jerusalem to contribute support for the priests and the Levites, that they might devote themselves to the Law of the Lord.

5 L ogo que esta ordem se divulgou, os filhos de Israel trouxeram em abundância as primícias de trigo, mosto, azeite, mel e todo produto do campo; também trouxeram em abundância o dízimo de tudo.

As soon as the commandment was circulated, the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of grain and wine, oil and honey, and of all the produce of the field; and they brought in abundantly the tithe of everything.

6 O s filhos de Israel e de Judá que habitavam nas cidades de Judá também trouxeram o dízimo de bois e de ovelhas, e o dízimo das coisas dedicadas que foram consagradas ao Senhor seu Deus, e depositaram-nos em montões.

And the children of Israel and Judah, who dwelt in the cities of Judah, brought the tithe of oxen and sheep; also the tithe of holy things which were consecrated to the Lord their God they laid in heaps.

7 N o terceiro mês começaram a formar os montões, e no sétimo mês acabaram.

In the third month they began laying them in heaps, and they finished in the seventh month.

8 V indo, pois, Ezequias e os príncipes, e vendo aqueles montões, bendisseram ao Senhor e ao seu povo Israel.

And when Hezekiah and the leaders came and saw the heaps, they blessed the Lord and His people Israel.

9 E ntão perguntou Ezequias aos sacerdotes e aos levitas acerca daqueles montões.

Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.

10 R espondeu-lhe Azarias, o sumo sacerdote, que era da casa de Zadoque, dizendo: Desde que o povo começou a trazer as ofertas para a casa do Senhor, tem havido o que comer e de que se fartar, e ainda nos tem sobejado bastante, porque o Senhor abençoou ao seu povo; e os sobejos constituem esta abastança.

And Azariah the chief priest, from the house of Zadok, answered him and said, “Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the Lord, we have had enough to eat and have plenty left, for the Lord has blessed His people; and what is left is this great abundance.”

11 E ntão ordenou Ezequias que se preparassem câmaras na casa do Senhor; e as prepararam.

Now Hezekiah commanded them to prepare rooms in the house of the Lord, and they prepared them.

12 A li recolheram fielmente as ofertas, os dízimos e as coisas dedicadas; e tinha o cargo disto o levita Conanias, e depois dele Simei, seu irmão.

Then they faithfully brought in the offerings, the tithes, and the dedicated things; Cononiah the Levite had charge of them, and Shimei his brother was the next.

13 E Jeiel, Azazias, Naate, Asael, Jerimote, Jozabade, Eliel, Ismaquias, Maate e Benaías eram superintendentes sob a direção de Conanias e de Simei, seu irmão, por decreto do rei Ezequias e de Azarias, o chefe da casa de Deus.

Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.

14 E o levita Coré, filho de Imná, e guarda da porta oriental, estava encarregado das ofertas voluntárias que se faziam a Deus, para distribuir as ofertas do Senhor e as coisas santíssimas.

Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the East Gate, was over the freewill offerings to God, to distribute the offerings of the Lord and the most holy things.

15 E debaixo das suas ordens estavam Edem, Miniamim, Jesuá, Semaías, Amarias e Secanias, nas cidades dos sacerdotes, para fazerem com fidelidade a distribuição a seus irmãos, segundo as suas turmas, tanto aos pequenos como aos grandes,

And under him were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, his faithful assistants in the cities of the priests, to distribute allotments to their brethren by divisions, to the great as well as the small.

16 e xceto os que estavam contados pelas genealogias, varões da idade de três anos para cima, todos os que entravam na casa do Senhor, para o seu serviço diário nos seus cargos segundo as suas turmas.

Besides those males from three years old and up who were written in the genealogy, they distributed to everyone who entered the house of the Lord his daily portion for the work of his service, by his division,

17 Q uanto ao registro dos sacerdotes, era feito segundo as suas casas paternas; e o dos levitas da idade de vinte anos para cima era feito segundo os seus cargos nas suas turmas.

and to the priests who were written in the genealogy according to their father’s house, and to the Levites from twenty years old and up according to their work, by their divisions,

18 O s sacerdotes eram arrolados com todos os seus pequeninos, suas mulheres, seus filhos e suas filhas, por toda a congregação; porque estes se dedicavam fielmente

and to all who were written in the genealogy—their little ones and their wives, their sons and daughters, the whole company of them—for in their faithfulness they sanctified themselves in holiness.

19 T ambém para os filhos de Arão os sacerdotes que estavam nos campos dos arrabaldes das suas cidades, em cada cidade, havia homens designados por nome para distribuírem porções a todo homem entre os sacerdotes e a todos os arrolados entre os levitas.

Also for the sons of Aaron the priests, who were in the fields of the common-lands of their cities, in every single city, there were men who were designated by name to distribute portions to all the males among the priests and to all who were listed by genealogies among the Levites.

20 A ssim fez Ezequias em todo o Judá; e fez o que era bom, e reto, e fiel perante o Senhor seu Deus.

Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and right and true before the Lord his God.

21 E toda a obra que empreendeu no serviço da casa de Deus, e de acordo com a lei e os mandamentos, para buscar a seu Deus, ele a fez de todo o seu coração e foi bem sucedido.

And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, in the law and in the commandment, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart. So he prospered.
