2 Crônicas 24
1 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.
Seven years old was Joash when he became king, and forty years did he reign in Jerusalem: and the name of his mother was Zibyah of Beer-sheba'.
2 E fez Joás o que era recto aos olhos do Senhor, todos os dias do sacerdote Joiada.
And Joash did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, all the days of Yehoyada' the priest.
3 E tomou-lhe Joiada duas mulheres, e gerou filhos e filhas.
And Yehoyada' took for himself two wives, and he begat sons and daughters.
4 E succedeu depois d'isto que veiu ao coração de Joás de renovar a casa do Senhor.
And it came to pass after this, that Yoash had it in his mind to renew the house of the Lord.
5 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.
And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather from all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and ye shall make haste in this matter. But the Levites made no haste.
6 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?
Then called the king for Yehoyada' the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required from the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the contribution [fixed by] Moses the servant of the Lord, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of the testimony?
7 Porque, sendo Athalia impia, seus filhos arruinaram a casa de Deus, e até todas as coisas sagradas da casa do Senhor empregaram em Baalin.
For the sons of the wicked 'Athalyahu have made breaches [in] the house of God; and also the holy things of the house of the Lord have they applied to the Be'alim.
8 E deu o rei ordem e fizeram uma arca, e a pozeram fóra, á porta da casa do Senhor.
And at the king's order they made a chest, and placed it at the gate of the house of the Lord on the outside.
9 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.
And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the Lord the contribution [fixed by] Moses the servant of God upon Israel in the wilderness.
10 Então todos os principes, e todo o povo se alegraram, e a trouxeram e a lançaram na arca, até que a acabaram de lançar.
And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and they brought it in, and cast it into the chest, until it was full.
11 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,
Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, then came the king's scribe and the high-priest's officer and emptied the chest, and took it up, and brought it back to its place. Thus did they day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
12 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.
And the king and Yehoyada' gave it to those who overlooked the service of the house of the Lord, and these hired masons and carpenters to renew the house of the Lord, and also to the workers in iron and copper to repair the house of the Lord.
13 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.
So the workmen wrought, and the work was restored through their means, and they replaced the house of God in its [former] state, and strengthened it.
14 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.
And when they had completed it, they brought before the king and Yehoyada' the rest of the money, and they made of it vessels for the house of the Lord, the vessels of the service and for the sacrificing, and the spoons, and [other] vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt-offerings in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Yehoyada'.
15 E envelheceu Joiada, e morreu farto de dias: era da edade de cento e trinta annos quando morreu.
And Yehoyada' became old, and was full of days, and died: he was old one hundred and thirty years when he died.
16 E o sepultaram na cidade de David com os reis; porque tinha feito bem em Israel, e para com Deus e a sua casa.
And they buried him in the city of David among the kings; because he had done a good thing in Israel, and toward God, and his house.
17 Porém depois da morte de Joiada vieram os principes de Judah e prostraram-se perante o rei: e o rei os ouviu.
But after the death of Yehoyada' came the princes of Judah, and bowed themselves down to the king. Then did the king hearken unto them.
18 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.
And they forsook the house of the Lord the God of their fathers, and served the Asherim and the idols: and there came wrath over Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness.
19 Porém enviou prophetas entre elles, para os fazer tornar ao Senhor, os quaes protestaram contra elles; mas elles não deram ouvidos.
And he sent prophets among them, to bring them back again unto the Lord; and they gave them warning; but they did not give ear.
20 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.
And the spirit of God endued Zechariah the son of Yehoyada' the priest, and he stood up above the people, and he said unto them, Thus hath said the [true] God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the Lord? ye cannot prosper so; because [as] ye have forsaken the Lord, he hath also forsaken you.
21 E elles conspiraram contra elle, e o apedrejaram com pedras, pelo mandado do rei, no pateo da casa do Senhor.
And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the command of the king in the court of the house of the Lord.
22 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.
And king Joash did not remember the kindness which Yehoyada' his father had shown to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The Lord will see [this], and require [my blood].
23 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.
And it came to pass at the expiration of the year, that the army of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and all their spoil they sent off unto the king of Damascus.
24 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.
Indeed with a small company of men did the army of Syria come; but the Lord delivered into their hand an army exceedingly numerous; because they had forsaken the Lord the God of their fathers. And on Joash they executed punishment.
25 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.
And when these were gone away from him—for they left him [suffering] with great diseases—his own servants conspired against him because of the blood of the sons of Yehoyada' the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings.
26 Estes pois foram os que conspiraram contra elle: Zabad, filho de Simeath, a ammonita, e Jozabat, filho de Simreth, a moabita.
And these are those that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shim'ath the 'Ammonitess, and Yehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
27 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.
Now concerning his sons, and the great prophecy concerning him, and the founding of the house of God, behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amazyahu his son became king in his stead.
