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.
Jehoash began to reign in the seventh year of Jehu, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
2 E fez Joás o que era recto aos olhos do Senhor todos os dias em que o sacerdote Joiada o dirigia.
Jehoash did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
3 Tão sómente os altos se não tiraram: porque ainda o povo sacrificava e queimava incenso nos altos.
However, the high places were not taken away. 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,
Jehoash said to the priests, “All the money of the holy things that is brought into the LORD’s house, in current money, the money of the people for whom each man is evaluated, and all the money that it comes into any man’s heart to bring into the LORD’s house,
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 to them, each man from his donor; and they shall repair the damage to the house, wherever any damage is found.”
6 Succedeu porém que, no anno vinte e tres do rei Joás, os sacerdotes ainda não tinham reparado as quebraduras da casa.
But it was so, that in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash the priests had not repaired the damage to the house.
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.
Then King Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said to them, “Why aren’t you repairing the damage to the house? Now therefore take no more money from your treasurers, but deliver it for repair of the damage to the house.”
8 E consentiram os sacerdotes em não tomarem mais dinheiro do povo, nem em repararem as quebraduras da casa.
The priests consented that they should take no more money from the people, and not repair the damage to 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.
But Jehoiada the priest took a chest and bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the LORD’s house; and the priests who kept the threshold put all the money that was brought into the LORD’s house into it.
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.
When they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and they put it in bags and counted the money that was found in the LORD’s house.
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;
They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the LORD’s house; and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders who worked on the LORD’s house,
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 to the masons and the stone cutters, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the damage to the LORD’s house, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
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 for the LORD’s house cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the LORD’s house;
14 Porque o davam aos que faziam a obra, e reparavam com elle a casa do Senhor.
for they gave that to those who did the work, and repaired the LORD’s house with it.
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.
Moreover they didn’t demand an accounting from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work; for they dealt 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.
The money for the trespass offerings and the money for the sin offerings was not brought into the LORD’s house. It was 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 Gath, and took it; and Hazael 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.
Jehoash king of Judah took all the holy things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own holy things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the LORD’s house, and of the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria; and he went away 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 acts of Joash, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles 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.
His servants arose and made a conspiracy, and struck Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that goes down to 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 David’s city; and Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
