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 Joas began to reign: and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Sebia of Bersabee.
2 E fez Joás o que era recto aos olhos do Senhor todos os dias em que o sacerdote Joiada o dirigia.
And Joas did that which was right before the Lord all the days that Joiada the priest taught him.
3 Tão sómente os altos se não tiraram: porque ainda o povo sacrificava e queimava incenso nos altos.
But yet he took not away the high places: for the people still sacrificed and burnt 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 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:
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 take it according to their order, and repair the house, wheresoever they shall see any thing that wanteth repairing.
6 Succedeu porém que, no anno vinte e tres do rei Joás, os sacerdotes ainda não tinham reparado as quebraduras da casa.
Now till the three and twentieth year of king Joas, the priests did not make the repairs 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 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.
8 E consentiram os sacerdotes em não tomarem mais dinheiro do povo, nem em repararem as quebraduras da casa.
And the priests were forbidden to take any more money of the people, and to make the repairs 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 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.
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 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:
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 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,
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 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.
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.
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.
14 Porque o davam aos que faziam a obra, e reparavam com elle a casa do Senhor.
For it was given to them that did the work, 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 reckoned not with the men that received the money to distribute it to the workmen, but they bestowed it faithfully.
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.
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.
17 Então subiu Hazael, rei da Syria, e pelejou contra Gath, e a tomou: depois Hazael fez rosto a marchar contra Jerusalem.
Then Hazael king of Syria went up and fought against Geth, and took it and set his face to go up to 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.
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.
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?
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?
20 E levantaram-se os seus servos, e conspiraram contra elle: e feriram a Joás na casa de Millo, que desce para Silla.
And his servants arose, and conspired among themselves, and slew Joas in the house of Mello in the descent of Sella.
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 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.
