2 Crónicas 30
Nova Bíblia Viva
1Depois disso, Ezequias enviou uma mensagem por todo o Israel e Judá, incluindo as tribos de Efraim e Manassés, convidando todos para virem ao templo do Senhor em Jerusalém para a celebração da festa anual da Páscoa dedicada ao Senhor, o Deus de Israel.
2O rei, seus oficiais e toda a assembleia de Jerusalém tinham decidido celebrar a Páscoa no segundo mês,
3dessa vez não na ocasião normal na data prescrita, porque não havia sacerdotes santificados em número suficiente na primeira data, e não havia tempo hábil para mandar o povo vir a Jerusalém.
4O rei e toda a assembleia estavam de pleno acordo nessa questão.
5Por isso eles resolveram fazer uma proclamação a respeito da Páscoa para todo o Israel, desde Dã até Berseba, convocando o povo a Jerusalém para celebrar a Páscoa do Senhor, o Deus de Israel, com grande número de pessoas, conforme estava ordenado, pois muitos não a celebravam da maneira correta.
6Por ordem do rei, mensageiros percorreram Israel e Judá com cartas assinadas pelo rei e pelos seus oficiais. A mensagem dizia o seguinte: “Israelitas, voltem-se para o Senhor, o Deus de Abraão, de Isaque e de Israel, a fim de que ele se volte para vocês que restaram e escaparam do poder dos reis da Assíria.
7Não sejam como seus pais e irmãos que foram infiéis ao Senhor, o Deus dos seus antepassados, e sofreram os horrores como vocês estão vendo.
8Não sejam teimosos, como eles foram. Submetam-se ao Senhor e venham ao templo que ele consagrou para sempre, e adorem o Senhor, o seu Deus, para que se desvie de vocês o fogo da sua ira.
9Pois se vocês se voltarem de novo para o Senhor, seus irmãos e seus filhos serão tratados com bondade por aqueles que os capturaram, e eles poderão voltar a esta terra, porque o Senhor, o seu Deus, é cheio de graça e misericórdia e ele não vai rejeitá-los, se vocês se voltarem para ele”.
10Assim os mensageiros foram de cidade em cidade, passando pelas terras de Efraim e de Manassés, e chegaram até Zebulom. Mas a maioria das pessoas recebeu esses mensageiros com zombaria e os expôs ao ridículo!
11Todavia, alguns das tribos de Aser, de Manassés e de Zebulom se humilharam diante de Deus e vieram a Jerusalém.
12Mas em Judá toda a nação sentiu um forte desejo de unidade, vindo da parte de Deus, de obedecer às instruções do Senhor, conforme foram ordenadas pelo rei e seus oficiais.
13E foi assim que uma imensa multidão se reuniu em Jerusalém no segundo mês, para festejar a festa dos pães sem fermento.
14Eles destruíram os altares dos deuses falsos em Jerusalém e derrubaram todos os altares de incenso e os jogaram no vale de Cedrom.
15No décimo quarto dia do segundo mês, o povo abateu o cordeiro da Páscoa. Então os sacerdotes e levitas ficaram com vergonha por não estarem tomando parte nas cerimônias como deviam tomar. Por isso eles se santificaram e trouxeram ofertas queimadas ao templo do Senhor.
16Eles ficaram nos seus postos, conforme mandava a Lei de Moisés, o homem de Deus. E os sacerdotes aspergiram o sangue recebido dos levitas.
17Visto que muitas das pessoas da multidão não se haviam consagrado, os levitas precisaram matar os cordeiros da Páscoa para todos os que não estavam cerimonialmente puros e que por causa disso não podiam consagrar seus cordeiros ao Senhor.
18Embora essas pessoas que chegaram de Efraim, de Manassés, de Issacar e de Zebulom não tivessem se purificado, de acordo com a lei das cerimônias na assembleia, os levitas mataram seus cordeiros da Páscoa a fim de santificar essas pessoas. Depois o rei Ezequias orou em favor delas para comerem a Páscoa, muito embora isso fosse contrário às regras de Deus. Ezequias orou por eles, dizendo: “Que o Senhor, que é bondoso, perdoe todos
19os que buscam de coração seguir o Senhor, o Deus dos seus antepassados, ainda que tal pessoa não esteja devidamente santificada de acordo com as leis do templo”.
20E o Senhor atendeu a oração de Ezequias e sarou a alma do povo.
21Assim o povo de Israel celebrou a festa dos pães sem fermento em Jerusalém durante sete dias, com grande alegria, e os levitas e os sacerdotes louvaram o Senhor com instrumentos musicais fortemente ressonantes, dia após dia.
22O rei Ezequias elogiou todos os levitas pela disposição para o serviço do Senhor. Assim, durante sete dias continuaram as comemorações. Foram sacrificadas ofertas de paz e todos louvavam o Senhor, o Deus dos seus antepassados.
23O entusiasmo continuou. Por isso todos concordaram em prolongar as comemorações por mais sete dias.
24O rei Ezequias, rei de Judá, ofereceu ao povo mil novilhos para as ofertas, e sete mil ovelhas e bodes, e os líderes deram mil novilhos e dez mil ovelhas. E muitos sacerdotes se santificaram.
25Então a assembleia de Judá, junto com os sacerdotes, os levitas, os estrangeiros que moravam no país e os visitantes vindos de Israel e de Judá, encheram-se de grande alegria.
26Houve grande alegria em Jerusalém, pois não se tinha visto uma comemoração como essa desde os dias de Salomão, filho do rei Davi.
27Depois os sacerdotes e os levitas se levantaram e abençoaram o povo, e Deus os ouviu; do seu santo templo no céu, o Senhor ouviu as orações deles.
Reina-Valera 1909
1ENVIÓ también Ezechîas por todo Israel y Judá, y escribió letras á Ephraim y Manasés, que viniesen á Jerusalem á la casa de Jehová, para celebrar la pascua á Jehová Dios de Israel.
2Y había el rey tomado consejo con sus príncipes, y con toda la congregación en Jerusalem, para celebrar la pascua en el mes segundo:
3Porque entonces no la podían celebrar, por cuanto no había suficientes sacerdotes santificados, ni el pueblo estaba junto en Jerusalem.
4Esto agradó al rey y á toda la multitud.
5Y determinaron hacer pasar pregón por todo Israel, desde Beer-seba hasta Dan, para que viniesen á celebrar la pascua á Jehová Dios de Israel, en Jerusalem: porque en mucho tiempo no la habían celebrado al modo que está escrito.
6Fueron pues correos con letras de mano del rey y de sus príncipes por todo Israel y Judá, como el rey lo había mandado, y decían: Hijos de Israel, volveos á Jehová el Dios de Abraham, de Isaac, y de Israel, y él se volverá á las reliquias que os han quedado de la mano de los reyes de Asiria.
7No seáis como vuestros padres y como vuestros hermanos, que se rebelaron contra Jehová el Dios de sus padres, y él los entregó á desolación, como vosotros veis.
8No endurezcáis pues ahora vuestra cerviz como vuestros padres: dad la mano á Jehová, y venid á su santuario, el cual él ha santificado para siempre; y servid á Jehová vuestro Dios, y la ira de su furor se apartará de vosotros.
9Porque si os volviereis á Jehová, vuestros hermanos y vuestros hijos hallarán misericordia delante de los que los tienen cautivos, y volverán á esta tierra: porque Jehová vuestro Dios es clemente y misericordioso, y no volverá de vosotros su rostro, si vosotros os volviereis á él.
10Pasaron pues los correos de ciudad en ciudad por la tierra de Ephraim y Manasés, hasta Zabulón: mas se reían y burlaban de ellos.
11Con todo eso, algunos hombres de Aser, de Manasés, y de Zabulón, se humillaron, y vinieron á Jerusalem.
12En Judá también fué la mano de Dios para darles un corazón para cumplir el mensaje del rey y de los príncipes, conforme á la palabra de Jehová.
13Y juntóse en Jerusalem mucha gente para celebrar la solemnidad de los ázimos en el mes segundo; una vasta reunión.
14Y levantándose, quitaron los altares que había en Jerusalem; quitaron también todos los altares de perfumes, y echáronlos en el torrente de Cedrón.
15Entonces sacrificaron la pascua, á los catorce del mes segundo; y los sacerdotes y los Levitas se santificaron con vergüenza, y trajeron los holocaustos á la casa de Jehová.
16Y pusiéronse en su orden conforme á su costumbre, conforme á la ley de Moisés varón de Dios; los sacerdotes esparcían la sangre que recibían de manos de los Levitas:
17Porque había muchos en la congregación que no estaban santificados, y por eso los Levitas sacrificaban la pascua por todos los que no se habían limpiado, para santificarlos á Jehová.
18Porque una gran multitud del pueblo de Ephraim y Manasés, y de Issachâr y Zabulón, no se habían purificado, y comieron la pascua no conforme á lo que está escrito. Mas Ezechîas oró por ellos, diciendo: Jehová, que es bueno, sea propicio á todo aquel que ha apercibido su corazón para buscar á Dios,
19A Jehová el Dios de sus padres, aunque no esté purificado según la purificación del santuario.
20Y oyó Jehová á Ezechîas, y sanó al pueblo.
21Así celebraron los hijos de Israel que se hallaron en Jerusalem, la solemnidad de los panes sin levadura por siete días con grande gozo: y alababan á Jehová todos los días los Levitas y los sacerdotes, cantando con instrumentos de fortaleza á Jehová.
22Y habló Ezechîas al corazón de todos los Levitas que tenían buena inteligencia en el servicio de Jehová. Y comieron de lo sacrificado en la solemnidad por siete días, ofreciendo sacrificios pacíficos, y dando gracias á Jehová el Dios de sus padres.
23Y toda aquella multitud determinó que celebrasen otros siete días; y celebraron otros siete días con alegría.
24Porque Ezechîas rey de Judá había dado á la multitud mil novillos y siete mil ovejas; y también los príncipes dieron al pueblo mil novillos y diez mil ovejas: y muchos sacerdotes se santificaron.
25Alegróse pues toda la congregación de Judá, como también los sacerdotes y Levitas, y toda la multitud que había venido de Israel; asimismo los extranjeros que habían venido de la tierra de Israel, y los que habitaban en Judá.
26E hiciéronse grandes alegrías en Jerusalem: porque desde los días de Salomón hijo de David rey de Israel, no había habido cosa tal en Jerusalem.
27Levantándose después los sacerdotes y Levitas, bendijeron al pueblo: y la voz de ellos fué oída, y su oración llegó á la habitación de su santuario, al cielo.
King James Version
1And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel.
2For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.
3For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
4And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.
5So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written.
6So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
7And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.
8Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.
9For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.
10So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
11Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
12Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD.
13And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
14And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.
15Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the LORD.
16And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites.
17For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the LORD.
18For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one
19That prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.
20And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
21And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the LORD.
22And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers.
23And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other seven days with gladness.
24For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
25And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.
26So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.
27Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place, even unto heaven.
World English Bible
1Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the LORD’s house at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to the LORD, the God of Israel.
2For the king had taken counsel with his princes and all the assembly in Jerusalem to keep the Passover in the second month.
3For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, and the people had not gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
4The thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly.
5So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the Passover to the LORD, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem, for they had not kept it in great numbers in the way it is written.
6So the couriers went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, according to the commandment of the king, saying, “You children of Israel, turn again to the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may return to the remnant of you that have escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
7Don’t be like your fathers and like your brothers, who trespassed against the LORD, the God of their fathers, so that he gave them up to desolation, as you see.
8Now don’t be stiff-necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified forever, and serve the LORD your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you.
9For if you turn again to the LORD, your brothers and your children will find compassion with those who led them captive, and will come again into this land, because the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you if you return to him.”
10So the couriers passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even to Zebulun, but people ridiculed them and mocked them.
11Nevertheless some men of Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
12Also the hand of God came on Judah to give them one heart, to do the commandment of the king and of the princes by the LORD’s word.
13Many people assembled at Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great assembly.
14They arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and they took away all the altars for incense and threw them into the brook Kidron.
15Then they killed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the second month. The priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought burnt offerings into the LORD’s house.
16They stood in their place after their order, according to the law of Moses the man of God. The priests sprinkled the blood which they received of the hand of the Levites.
17For there were many in the assembly who had not sanctified themselves; therefore the Levites were in charge of killing the Passovers for everyone who was not clean, to sanctify them to the LORD.
18For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the Passover other than the way it is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, “May the good LORD pardon everyone
19who sets his heart to seek God, the LORD, the God of his fathers, even if they aren’t clean according to the purification of the sanctuary.”
20The LORD listened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
21The children of Israel who were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness. The Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments to the LORD.
22Hezekiah spoke encouragingly to all the Levites who had good understanding in the service of the LORD. So they ate throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace offerings and making confession to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
23The whole assembly took counsel to keep another seven days, and they kept another seven days with gladness.
24For Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the assembly for offerings one thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep; and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
25All the assembly of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the assembly who came out of Israel, and the foreigners who came out of the land of Israel and who lived in Judah, rejoiced.
26So there was great joy in Jerusalem; for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was nothing like this in Jerusalem.
27Then the Levitical priests arose and blessed the people. Their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy habitation, even to heaven.
