2 Kings 12
1 In the seventh year of Jehu Joas began to reign: and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Sebia of Bersabee.
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 And Joas did that which was right before the Lord all the days that Joiada the priest taught him.
E Joás fez o que era coreto aos olhos do SENHOR todo o tempo que o sacerdote Joiada o conduziu.
3 But yet he took not away the high places: for the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
Contudo isso os altos não se tiraram; que ainda sacrificava e queimava o povo incenso nos altos.
4 And Joas said to the priests: O All the money of the sanctified things, which is brought into the temple of the Lord by those that pass, which is offered for the price of a soul, and which of their own accord, and of their own free heart they bring into the temple of the Lord:
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 it according to their order, and repair the house, wheresoever they shall see any thing that wanteth repairing.
Recebam-no os sacerdotes, cada um de seus familiares, e reparem as fendas do templo de onde quer que se achar abertura.
6 Now till the three and twentieth year of king Joas, the priests did not make the repairs of the temple.
Porém o ano vinte e três do rei Joás, não haviam ainda reparado os sacerdotes as aberturas do templo.
7 And king Joas called Joiada the high priest and the priests, saying to them: Why do you not repair the temple? Take you therefore money no more according to your order, but restore it for the repairing of the temple.
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 And the priests were forbidden to take any more money of the people, and to make the repairs of the house.
E os sacerdotes consentiram em não tomar mais dinheiro do povo, nem ter cargo de reparar as aberturas do templo.
9 And Joiada the high priest took a chest and bored a hole in the top, and set it by the altar at the right hand of them that came into the house of the Lord, and the priests that kept the doors put therein all the money that was brought to the temple 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 very much money in the chest, the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and poured it out, and counted the money that was found 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 they gave it out by number and measure into the hands of them that were over the builders of the house of the Lord: and they laid it out to the carpenters, and the masons that wrought in 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 made the repairs: and to them that cut stones, and to buy timber, and stones, to be hewed, that the repairs of the house of the Lord might be completely finished, and wheresoever there was need of expenses to uphold the house.
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 there were not made of the same money for the temple of the Lord, bowls, or fleshhooks, or censers, or trumpets, or any vessel of gold and silver, of the money that was brought into the temple 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 For it was given to them that did the work, that the temple of the Lord might be repaired.
Porque o davam aos que faziam a obra, e com ele reparavam a casa do SENHOR.
15 And they reckoned not with the men that received the money to distribute it to the workmen, but they bestowed it faithfully.
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 But the money for trespass, and the money for sins, they brought not into the temple of the Lord, because it was for 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 Syria went up and fought against Geth, and took it and set his face 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 Wherefore Joas king of Juda took all the sanctified things, which Josaphat, and Joram, and Ochozias his fathers the kings of Juda had dedicated to holy uses, and which he himself had offered: and all the silver that could be found in the treasures of the temple of the Lord, and in the king’s palace: and sent it to Hazael king of Syria, and he went off 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 And the rest of the acts of Joas, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
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 arose, and conspired among themselves, and slew Joas in the house of Mello in the descent of Sella.
E seus servos se levantaram, fizeram uma conspiração, e mataram a Joás na casa de Milo, quando ele estava descendo a Sila;
21 For Josachar the son of Semaath, and Jozabad the son of Somer his servant struck him, and he died: and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David, and Amasias his son reigned in his stead.
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.
