2 Kings 12
1 In the seventh year of Jehu's rule, Jehoash became king; and he was ruling for forty years in Jerusalem; his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.
No sétimo ano de Jeú começou a reinar Joás, e reinou quarenta anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe foi Zíbia, de Berseba.
2 Jehoash did what was right in the eyes of the Lord all his days, because he was guided by the teaching of Jehoiada the priest.
E Joás fez o que era coreto aos olhos do SENHOR todo o tempo que o sacerdote Joiada o conduziu.
3 But the high places were not taken away; the people went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.
Contudo isso os altos não se tiraram; que ainda sacrificava e queimava o povo incenso nos altos.
4 And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the holy things, which comes into the house of the Lord, (the amount fixed for every man's payment, ) and all the money given by any man freely from the impulse of his heart,
E Joás disse aos sacerdotes: Todo o dinheiro das santificações que se costuma trazer à casa do SENHOR, o dinheiro dos que passam no censo, o dinheiro pelas pessoas, cada qual segundo seu valor, e todo o dinheiro que cada um de sua própria vontade põe na casa do SENHOR.
5 Let the priests take, every man from his friends and neighbours, to make good what is damaged in the house, wherever it is to be seen.
Recebam-no os sacerdotes, cada um de seus familiares, e reparem as fendas do templo de onde quer que se achar abertura.
6 But in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash, the priests had not made good the damaged parts of the house.
Porém o ano vinte e três do rei Joás, não haviam ainda reparado os sacerdotes as aberturas do templo.
7 Then King Jehoash sent for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said to them, Why have you not made good what is damaged in the house? now take no more money from your neighbours, but give it for the building up of the house.
Chamando então o rei Joás ao sacerdote Joiada e aos sacerdotes, disse-lhes: Por que não reparais as aberturas do templo? Agora, pois, não tomeis mais o dinheiro de vossos familiares, mas sim dai-o para reparar as fendas do templo.
8 So the priests made an agreement to take no more money from the people, and not to make good what was damaged in the house.
E os sacerdotes consentiram em não tomar mais dinheiro do povo, nem ter cargo de reparar as aberturas do templo.
9 But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and making a hole in the cover of it, put it by the altar, on the right side when one comes into the house of the Lord; and the priests who kept the door put in it regularly all the money which was taken into the house of the Lord.
Mas o sacerdote Joiada tomou uma arca, e fez-lhe na tampa um furo, e a pôs junto ao altar, à direita quando se entra no templo do SENHOR; e os sacerdotes que guardavam a porta, punham ali todo o dinheiro que se metia na casa do SENHOR.
10 And when they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king's scribe and the high priest came and put it in bags, noting the amount of all the money there was in the house of the Lord.
E quando viam que havia muito dinheiro no arca, vinha o notário do rei e o grande sacerdote, e contavam o dinheiro que achavam no templo do SENHOR, e guardavam-no.
11 And the money which was measured out they gave regularly to those who were responsible for overseeing the work, and these gave it in payment to the woodworkers and the builders who were working on the house of the Lord,
E davam o dinheiro suficiente em mão dos que faziam a obra, e dos que tinham o cargo da casa do SENHOR; e eles o gastavam em pagar os carpinteiros e mestres que reparavam a casa do SENHOR,
12 And to the wall-builders and the stone-cutters, and to get wood and cut stone for building up the broken parts of the house of the Lord, and for everything needed to put the house in good order.
E os pedreiros e cortadores de pedras; e em comprar a madeira e pedra lavrada para reparar as aberturas da casa do SENHOR; e em tudo o que se gastava na casa para repará-la.
13 But the money was not used for making silver cups or scissors or basins or wind-instruments or any vessels of gold or silver for the house of the Lord;
Mas daquele dinheiro que se trazia à casa do SENHOR, não se faziam bacias de prata, nem saltérios, nem bacias, nem trombetas; nem nenhum outro vaso de ouro nem de prata se fazia para o templo do SENHOR:
14 But it was all given to the workmen who were building up the house.
Porque o davam aos que faziam a obra, e com ele reparavam a casa do SENHOR.
15 And they did not get any statement of accounts from the men to whom the money was given for the workmen, for they made use of it with good faith.
E não se tomava em conta aos homens em cujas mãos o dinheiro era entregue, para que eles o dessem aos que faziam a obra: porque o faziam eles fielmente.
16 The money of the offerings for error and the sin-offerings was not taken into the house of the Lord; it was the priests'.
O dinheiro pelo delito, e o dinheiro pelos pecados, não se metia na casa do SENHOR; porque era dos sacerdotes.
17 Then Hazael, king of Aram, went up against Gath and took it; and his purpose was to go up to Jerusalem.
Então subiu Hazael rei da Síria, e lutou contra Gate, e tomou-a; e Hazael decidiu subir contra Jerusalém;
18 Then Jehoash, king of Judah, took all the holy things which Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah his fathers, the kings of Judah, had given to the Lord, together with the things he himself had given, and all the gold in the Temple store and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael, king of Aram; and he went away from Jerusalem.
Pelo que tomou Joás rei de Judá todas as ofertas que havia dedicado Josafá, e Jorão e Acazias seus pais, reis de Judá, e as que ele havia dedicado, e todo o ouro que se achou nos tesouros da casa do SENHOR, e na casa do rei, e enviou-o a Hazael, rei da Síria; e ele se partiu de Jerusalém.
19 Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
Os demais dos feitos de Joás, e todas as coisas que fez, não estão escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?
20 And his servants made a secret design and put Joash to death at the house of Millo on the way down to Silla.
E seus servos se levantaram, fizeram uma conspiração, e mataram a Joás na casa de Milo, quando ele estava descendo a Sila;
21 And Jozacar, the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer, his servants, came to him and put him to death; and they put him into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; and Amaziah his son became king in his place.
Pois Jozacar filho de Simeate, e Jozabade filho de Somer, seus servos, feriram-lhe, e ele morreu. E sepultaram-lhe com seus pais na cidade de Davi, e reinou em seu lugar Amasias seu filho.
