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.
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.
2 E fez Joás o que era recto aos olhos do Senhor, todos os dias do sacerdote Joiada.
Joash did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
3 E tomou-lhe Joiada duas mulheres, e gerou filhos e filhas.
Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he became the father of sons and daughters.
4 E succedeu depois d'isto que veiu ao coração de Joás de renovar a casa do Senhor.
It happened after this, that Joash intended to restore 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.
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.
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?
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 the LORD, and of the assembly of Israel, out of Judah and out of Jerusalem, for the tent 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 Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up God's house; and they also gave all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD to the Baals.
8 E deu o rei ordem e fizeram uma arca, e a pozeram fóra, á porta da casa do Senhor.
So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it outside at the gate of the house of the LORD.
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.
They made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for the LORD the tax that Moses the servant of God laid on 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 leaders and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and threw 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,
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.
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.
The king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the LORD; and they hired masons and carpenters to restore the house of the LORD, and also such as worked iron and bronze 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 worked, and the work of repairing went forward in their hands, and they set up God's house in its 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.
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 the LORD, 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 the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.
15 E envelheceu Joiada, e morreu farto de dias: era da edade de cento e trinta annos quando morreu.
But Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died; one hundred thirty years old was he 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.
They buried him in the City of David among the kings, because he had done good 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.
Now after the death of Jehoiada the leaders of Judah came and paid homage to the king. And the king listened to 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.
They forsook the house of the LORD, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherim and the idols: and wrath came on 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.
Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again to the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would 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.
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 the LORD, so that you can't prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, he has also forsaken you.'"
21 E elles conspiraram contra elle, e o apedrejaram com pedras, pelo mandado do rei, no pateo da casa do Senhor.
They conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment 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.
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 the LORD look at it, and repay it."
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.
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.
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.
For the army of the Arameans came with a small company of men; and the LORD delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers. So they executed judgment on Joash.
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.
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.
26 Estes pois foram os que conspiraram contra elle: Zabad, filho de Simeath, a ammonita, e Jozabat, filho de Simreth, a moabita.
These are those who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad 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 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.
