Ezra 3

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 And now the seventh month had arrived, and the sons of Israel were in their cities. Then, the people were gathered together, like one man, in Jerusalem.	1 Tendo chegado o sétimo mês, e estando os filhos de Israel instalados em suas cidades, todo o povo se reuniu como um só homem em Jerusalém.
2 And Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, rose up with his brothers, the priests. And Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, rose up with his brothers. And they built the altar of the God of Israel, so that they might offer holocausts upon it, just as it was written in the law of Moses, the man of God.	2 Então Josué, filho de Josedec, e seus irmãos sacerdotes, bem como Zorobabel, filho de Salatiel, e seus irmãos principiaram a reconstrução do altar do Deus de Israel e ofereceram holocaustos, como a lei de Moisés, homem de Deus, prescrevia.
3 Now they set the altar of God upon its bases, while keeping the people of all the surrounding lands away from it. And they offered upon it a holocaust to the Lord, morning and evening.	3 Reconstruíram o altar sobre as antigas bases, porque tinham medo dos habitantes vizinhos, e ofereceram holocaustos ao Senhor pela manhã e pela tarde.
4 And they kept the solemnity of tabernacles, just as it was written, and the holocaust of each day in order, according to the precept, the work of each day in its time.	4 Em seguida celebraram a festa dos Tabernáculos, como estava prescrito, e, diariamente, ofereciam holocaustos de acordo com o número prescrito para cada dia.
5 And after these, they offered the continual holocaust, as much on the new moons as on all the solemnities of the Lord that were consecrated, and on all those when a voluntary gift was offered to the Lord.	5 Depois disso, ofereceram o holocausto perpétuo, os das neomênias e de todas as solenidades consagradas ao Senhor, assim como os daqueles que faziam uma oferta ao Senhor.
6 From the first day of the seventh month, they began to offer holocausts to the Lord. But the temple of God had not yet been founded.	6 No primeiro dia do sétimo mês começaram a oferecer holocaustos ao Senhor, mas os fundamentos do templo do Senhor não estavam ainda colocados.
7 And so they gave money to those who cut and laid stones. Similarly, they gave food, and drink, and oil to the Sidonians and the Tyrians, so that they would bring cedar wood, from Lebanon to the sea at Joppa, in accord with what had been commanded of them by Cyrus, the king of the Persians.	7 Foram então contratados canteiros e carpinteiros; deram aos sidônios e tírios víveres, azeite e vinho para que trouxessem por mar a madeira dos cedros desde o Líbano até Jope, segundo a autorização que lhes tinha dado Ciro, rei da Pérsia.
8 Then, in the second year of their advent to the temple of God in Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and the remainder of their brothers, the priests, and the Levites, and all who had arrived from the captivity to Jerusalem, began, and they appointed Levites, from twenty years and over, to hasten the work of the Lord.	8 No segundo ano de sua chegada ao templo de Deus em Jerusalém, no segundo mês, Zorobabel, filho de Salatiel, e Josué, filho de Josedec, tendo consigo seus irmãos, os sacerdotes, os levitas e todos os que haviam voltado do cativeiro para Jerusalém, puseram-se a trabalhar; os levitas de vinte anos para cima foram encarregados da direção dos trabalhos do templo do Senhor;
9 And Jeshua and his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, and the sons of Judah, like one man, stood so that they might have charge over those who did the work in the temple of God: the sons of Henadad, and their sons, and their brothers, the Levites.	9 Josué, com seus filhos e irmãos, Cedmiel, com seus filhos, filhos de Judá, propuseram-se unanimemente a dirigir os que trabalhavam na construção da casa de Deus; o mesmo fizeram os filhos de Henadad com seus filhos e seus irmãos que eram levitas.
10 And when the builders had founded the temple of the Lord, the priests stood in their adornment with trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, stood with cymbals, so that they might praise God by the hand of David, the king of Israel.	10 Logo que os pedreiros lançaram os fundamentos do templo do Senhor, apresentaram-se os sacerdotes ornamentados para assistir à cerimônia, com as trombetas, e os levitas, filhos de Asaf, com os címbalos, para louvarem o Senhor, segundo as ordens de Davi, rei de Israel.
11 And they sung together with hymns and confession to the Lord: “For he is good. For his mercy is over Israel unto eternity.” And likewise, all the people shouted with a great clamor in praise to the Lord, because the temple of the Lord had been founded.	11 Entoaram ao Senhor este refrão de louvor: Porque ele é bom, e porque sua misericórdia com Israel permanece para sempre! E todo o povo soltou aclamações de alegria para celebrar o Senhor, por ocasião do lançamento dos alicerces de sua casa.
12 And many of the priests and the Levites, and the leaders of the fathers and of the elders, who had seen the former temple, when now this temple was founded and was before their eyes, wept with a great voice. And many of them, shouting for joy, lifted up their voice.	12 Mas, enquanto muitos gritavam de alegria e júbilo, muitos sacerdotes, levitas e chefes de família, já idosos, que tinham visto o primeiro templo, choravam em alta voz, enquanto diante deles eram lançados os alicerces do novo edifício.
13 Neither could anyone distinguish between the voice of clamor of joy, and a voice of weeping of the people. For the shouting of the people mixed into a great clamor, and the voice was heard from far away.	13 Era impossível distinguir os gritos de alegria dos clamores daqueles que choravam, pois todo o povo gritava em altos brados, e o eco de suas vozes se podia ouvir de longe.
