2 Reis 12
1 No anno setimo de Jehu começou a reinar Joás, e quarenta annos reinou em Jerusalem: e era o nome de sua mãe Zibia, de Berseba.
In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash reigned. And he reigned for forty years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Zebiah from Beersheba.
2 E fez Joás o que era recto aos olhos do Senhor todos os dias em que o sacerdote Joiada o dirigia.
And Jehoash did what was right in the sight of the Lord, during all the days that Jehoiada, the priest, taught him.
3 Tão sómente os altos se não tiraram: porque ainda o povo sacrificava e queimava incenso nos altos.
Yet still he did not take away the high places. For the people were still immolating, and burning incense, in the high places.
4 E disse Joás aos sacerdotes: Todo o dinheiro das coisas sanctas que se trouxer á casa do Senhor, a saber, o dinheiro d'aquelle que passa o arrolamento, o dinheiro de cada uma das pessoas, segundo a sua avaliação, e todo o dinheiro que trouxer cada um voluntariamente para a casa do Senhor,
And Jehoash said to the priests: “All of the money for the holy things, which has been brought into the temple of the Lord from those who pass by, which is offered for the price of a soul, and which they bring into the temple of the Lord willingly, from their own free heart:
5 Os sacerdotes o recebam, cada um dos seus conhecidos; e elles reparem as quebraduras da casa, segundo toda a quebradura que se achar n'ella.
let the priests, according to their ranks, take and use it in order to repair the surfaces of the house, wherever they see anything in need of repair.”
6 Succedeu porém que, no anno vinte e tres do rei Joás, os sacerdotes ainda não tinham reparado as quebraduras da casa.
And yet, even until the twenty-third year of king Jehoash, the priests did not repair the surfaces of the temple.
7 Então o rei Joás chamou o sacerdote Joiada e os mais sacerdotes, e lhes disse: Porque não reparaes as quebraduras da casa? Agora, pois, não tomeis mais dinheiro de vossos conhecidos, mas dae-o pelas quebraduras da casa.
And king Jehoash called the high priest, Jehoiada, and the priests, saying to them: “Why have you not repaired the surfaces of the temple? Therefore, you may no longer accept money according to your ranks. Instead, return it in order that the temple may be repaired.”
8 E consentiram os sacerdotes em não tomarem mais dinheiro do povo, nem em repararem as quebraduras da casa.
And so the priests were prohibited from accepting any more money from the people to repair the surfaces of the house.
9 Porem o sacerdote Joiada tomou uma arca, e fez um buraco na tampa; e a poz ao pé do altar, á mão direita dos que entravam na casa do Senhor: e os sacerdotes que guardavam a entrada da porta mettiam ali todo o dinheiro que se trazia á casa do Senhor.
And the high priest, Jehoiada, took a certain chest, and he opened a hole in the top, and he placed it beside the altar, to the right of those who were entering the house of the Lord. And the priests who kept the doors put all the money in it which was being brought into the temple of the Lord.
10 Succedeu pois que, vendo elles que já havia muito dinheiro na arca, o escrivão do rei subia com o summo sacerdote, e contavam e ensacavam o dinheiro que se achava na casa do Senhor.
And when they saw that there was a great amount of money in the chest, the scribe of the king and the high priest went up and poured it out. And they counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord.
11 E o dinheiro, depois de pesado, davam nas mãos dos que faziam a obra, que tinham a seu cargo a casa do Senhor: e elles o distribuiam aos carpinteiros, e aos edificadores que reparavam a casa do Senhor;
And they gave it out, by number and measure, to the hands of those who were over the masons of the house of the Lord. And they weighed it out to the carpenters and masons, to those who were working in the house of the Lord
12 Como tambem aos pedreiros e aos cabouqueiros, e para se comprar madeira e pedras de cantaria para repararem as quebraduras da casa do Senhor, e para tudo quanto para a casa se dava para a repararem.
and restoring the surfaces, and to those who were cutting stones, and buying timber and stones to be cut, so that the repairs to the house of the Lord might be finished: for all that was needed toward the expenses in order to strengthen the house.
13 Todavia, do dinheiro que se trazia á casa do Senhor não se faziam nem taças de prata, nem garfos, nem bacias, nem trombetas, nem nenhum vaso de oiro ou vaso de prata para a casa do Senhor.
Yet truly, from the same money, they did not make for the temple of the Lord water pitchers, or small hooks, or censers, or trumpets, or any vessel of gold or silver, from the money that was brought into the temple of the Lord.
14 Porque o davam aos que faziam a obra, e reparavam com elle a casa do Senhor.
For it was given to those who were doing the work, so that the temple of the Lord might be repaired.
15 Tambem não pediam contas aos homens em cujas mãos entregavam aquelle dinheiro, para o dar aos que faziam a obra, porque obravam com fidelidade.
And they did not ration the money to the men who received it in order to distribute it to the artisans. Instead, they bestowed it with faith.
16 Mas o dinheiro de sacrificio por delictos, e o dinheiro por sacrificio de peccados, se não trazia á casa do Senhor; porém era para os sacerdotes.
Yet truly, the money for offenses and the money for sins, they did not bring into the temple of the Lord, since it was for the priests.
17 Então subiu Hazael, rei da Syria, e pelejou contra Gath, e a tomou: depois Hazael fez rosto a marchar contra Jerusalem.
Then Hazael, the king of Syria, ascended and fought against Gath, and he captured it. And he directed his face, so that he might ascend against Jerusalem.
18 Porém Joás, rei de Judah, tomou todas as coisas sanctas que Josaphat, e Jorão, e Achazias, seus paes, reis de Judah, consagraram, como tambem todo o oiro que se achou nos thesouros da casa do Senhor e na casa do rei: e o mandou a Hazael, rei da Syria; e então se retirou de Jerusalem.
For this reason, Jehoash, the king of Judah, took all the sanctified things, which Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, the kings of Judah, had consecrated and which he himself had offered, and all the silver that could be found in the treasuries of the temple of the Lord and in the palace of the king, and he sent it to Hazael, the king of Syria. And so he withdrew from Jerusalem.
19 Ora o mais dos successos de Joás, e tudo quanto fez mais, porventura não está escripto no livro das chronicas dos reis de Judah?
Now the rest of the words of Jehoash, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
20 E levantaram-se os seus servos, e conspiraram contra elle: e feriram a Joás na casa de Millo, que desce para Silla.
Then his servants rose up and conspired among themselves. And they struck down Jehoash, at the house of Millo, on the descent of Silla.
21 Porque Jozacar, filho de Simeath, e Jozabad, filho de Somer, seus servos, o feriram, e morreu, e o sepultaram com seus paes na cidade de David: e Amasias, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.
For Jozacar, the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died. And they buried him with his fathers in the city of David. And Amaziah, his son, reigned in his place.
