2 Chronicles 24
1 Joash was seven years old when he began to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zibiah, of Beersheba.
Tinha Joás sete annos d'edade quando começou a reinar, e quarenta annos reinou em Jerusalem: e era o nome de sua mãe Zibia, de Berseba.
2 Joash did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
E fez Joás o que era recto aos olhos do Senhor, todos os dias do sacerdote Joiada.
3 Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he became the father of sons and daughters.
E tomou-lhe Joiada duas mulheres, e gerou filhos e filhas.
4 It happened after this, that Joash intended to restore the house of Jehovah.
E succedeu depois d'isto que veiu ao coração de Joás de renovar a casa do Senhor.
5 He gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, "Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather money to repair the house of your God from all Israel from year to year. See that you expedite this matter." However the Levites did not do it right away.
Ajuntou pois os sacerdotes e os levitas, e disse-lhes: Sahi pelas cidades de Judah, e ajuntae o dinheiro de todo o Israel para reparar a casa do vosso Deus de anno em anno; e vós apressae este negocio. Porém os levitas não se apressaram.
6 The king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, "Why haven't you required of the Levites to bring in the tax of Moses the servant of Jehovah, and of the assembly of Israel, out of Judah and out of Jerusalem, for the tent of the testimony?"
E o rei chamou a Joiada, o chefe, e disse-lhe: Porque não fizeste inquirição entre os levitas: para que trouxessem de Judah e de Jerusalem a offerta de Moysés, servo do Senhor, e da congregação d'Israel, á tenda do testemunho?
7 For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up God's house; and they also gave all the dedicated things of the house of Jehovah to the Baals.
Porque, sendo Athalia impia, seus filhos arruinaram a casa de Deus, e até todas as coisas sagradas da casa do Senhor empregaram em Baalin.
8 So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it outside at the gate of the house of Jehovah.
E deu o rei ordem e fizeram uma arca, e a pozeram fóra, á porta da casa do Senhor.
9 They made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for Jehovah the tax that Moses the servant of God laid on Israel in the wilderness.
E publicou-se em Judah e em Jerusalem que trouxessem ao Senhor a offerta de Moysés, o servo do Senhor, imposta a Israel no deserto.
10 And all the leaders and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and threw it into the chest, until it was full.
Então todos os principes, e todo o povo se alegraram, e a trouxeram e a lançaram na arca, até que a acabaram de lançar.
11 It was so, that whenever the chest was brought to the king's officers by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the chief priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
E succedeu que, ao tempo que traziam a arca pelas mãos dos levitas, segundo o mandado do rei, e vendo que já havia muito dinheiro, vinha o escrivão do rei, e o deputado do summo sacerdote, e esvaziavam a arca, e a tomavam, e a tornavam ao seu logar: assim faziam de dia em dia, e ajuntaram dinheiro em abundancia,
12 The king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of Jehovah; and they hired masons and carpenters to restore the house of Jehovah, and also such as worked iron and bronze to repair the house of Jehovah.
O qual o rei e Joiada davam aos que tinham cargo da obra do serviço da casa do Senhor; e alugaram pedreiros e carpinteiros, para renovarem a casa do Senhor; como tambem ferreiros e serralheiros, para repararem a casa do Senhor.
13 So the workmen worked, and the work of repairing went forward in their hands, and they set up God's house in its state, and strengthened it.
E os que tinham cargo da obra faziam que a reparação da obra fosse crescendo pela sua mão: e restauraram a casa de Deus no seu estado, e a fortaleceram.
14 When they had made an end, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, of which were made vessels for the house of Jehovah, even vessels with which to minister and to offer, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. They offered burnt offerings in the house of Jehovah continually all the days of Jehoiada.
E, depois de acabarem, trouxeram o resto do dinheiro para diante do rei e de Joiada, e d'elle fez vasos para a casa do Senhor, vasos para ministrar, e offerecer, e perfumadores e vasos d'oiro e de prata. E continuamente sacrificaram holocaustos na casa do Senhor, todos os dias de Joiada.
15 But Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died; one hundred thirty years old was he when he died.
E envelheceu Joiada, e morreu farto de dias: era da edade de cento e trinta annos quando morreu.
16 They buried him in the City of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house.
E o sepultaram na cidade de David com os reis; porque tinha feito bem em Israel, e para com Deus e a sua casa.
17 Now after the death of Jehoiada the leaders of Judah came and paid homage to the king. And the king listened to them.
Porém depois da morte de Joiada vieram os principes de Judah e prostraram-se perante o rei: e o rei os ouviu.
18 They forsook the house of Jehovah, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherim and the idols: and wrath came on Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness.
E deixaram a casa do Senhor, Deus de seus paes, e serviram as imagens do bosque e os idolos: então veiu grande ira sobre Judah e Jerusalem por causa d'esta sua culpa.
19 Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again to Jehovah; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.
Porém enviou prophetas entre elles, para os fazer tornar ao Senhor, os quaes protestaram contra elles; mas elles não deram ouvidos.
20 The Spirit of God came on Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said to them, "Thus says God, 'Why do you disobey the commandments of Jehovah, so that you can't prosper? Because you have forsaken Jehovah, he has also forsaken you.'"
E o Espirito de Deus revestiu a Zacharias, filho do sacerdote Joiada, o qual se poz em pé acima do povo, e lhes disse: Assim diz Deus: Porque transgredis os mandamentos do Senhor? portanto não prosperareis; porque deixastes ao Senhor, tambem elle vos deixará.
21 They conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of Jehovah.
E elles conspiraram contra elle, e o apedrejaram com pedras, pelo mandado do rei, no pateo da casa do Senhor.
22 Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. When he died, he said, "May Jehovah look at it, and repay it."
Assim o rei Joás não se lembrou da beneficencia que seu pae Joiada lhe fizera, porém matou-lhe o filho, o qual, morrendo, disse: O Senhor o verá, e o requererá.
23 It happened at the end of the year, that the army of the Arameans came up against him. And they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the leaders of the people from among the people, and sent all their spoil to the king in Damascus.
E succedeu, no decurso de um anno, que o exercito da Syria subiu contra elle, e vieram a Judah e a Jerusalem, e destruiram d'entre o povo a todos os principes do povo; e todo o seu despojo enviaram ao rei de Damasco.
24 For the army of the Arameans came with a small company of men; and Jehovah delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken Jehovah, the God of their fathers. So they executed judgment on Joash.
Porque, ainda que o exercito dos syros viera com poucos homens, comtudo o Senhor deu na sua mão um exercito de grande multidão, porquanto deixaram ao Senhor, Deus de seus paes. Assim executaram os juizos contra Joás.
25 When they were departed for him (for they left him very sick), his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed, and he died; and they buried him in the City of David, but they did not bury him in the tombs of the kings.
E, retirando-se d'elle (porque em grandes enfermidades o deixaram) seus servos conspiraram contra elle por causa do sangue do filho do sacerdote Joiada, e o mataram na sua cama, e morreu: e o sepultaram na cidade de David, porém não o sepultaram nos sepulchros dos reis.
26 These are those who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
Estes pois foram os que conspiraram contra elle: Zabad, filho de Simeath, a ammonita, e Jozabat, filho de Simreth, a moabita.
27 Now concerning his sons, and the many oracles against him, and the rebuilding of God's house, look, they are written in the commentary of the book of the kings. Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
E, quanto a seus filhos, e á grandeza do cargo que se lhe impôz, e ao estabelecimento da casa de Deus, eis que está escripto na historia do livro dos reis: e Amasias, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.
