2 Crônicas 24
1 De sete anos era Joás quando começou a reinar, e quarenta anos reinou em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe foi Zíbia, de Berseba.
Joas was seven years old when he 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 correto aos olhos do SENHOR todos os dias de Joiada o sacerdote.
And he did that which is good before the Lord all the days of Joiada the priest.
3 E tomou para ele Joiada duas mulheres; e gerou filhos e filhas.
And Joiada took for him two wives, by whom he had sons and daughters.
4 Depois disto aconteceu que Joás teve vontade de reparar a casa do SENHOR.
After this Joas had a mind to repair the house of the Lord.
5 E juntou os sacerdotes e os levitas, e disse-lhes: Saí pelas cidades de Judá, e juntai dinheiro de todo Israel, para que cada ano seja reparada a casa de vosso Deus; e vós ponde diligência no negócio. Mas os levitas não puseram diligência.
And he assembled the priests, and the Levites, and said to them: Go out to the cities of Juda, and gather of all Israel money to repair the temple of your God, from year to year: and do this with speed: but the Levites were negligent.
6 Por isso o rei chamou a Joiada o principal, e disse-lhe: Por que não procuraste que os levitas tragam de Judá e de Jerusalém ao tabernáculo do testemunho, a oferta que impôs Moisés servo do SENHOR, e da congregação de Israel?
And the king called Joiada the chief, and said to him: Why hast thou not taken care to oblige the Levites to bring in out of Juda and Jerusalem the money that was appointed by Moses the servant of the Lord for all the multitude of Israel to bring into the tabernacle of the testimony?
7 Porque a ímpia Atalia e seus filhos haviam destruído a casa de Deus, e ademais haviam gastado nos ídolos todas as coisas consagradas à casa do SENHOR.
For that wicked woman Athalia, and her children have destroyed the house of God, and adorned the temple of Baal with all the things that had been dedicated in the temple of the Lord.
8 Mandou, pois, o rei que fizessem uma arca, a qual puseram fora à porta da casa do SENHOR;
And the king commanded, and they made a chest: and set it by the gate of the house of the Lord on the outside.
9 E fizeram apregoar em Judá e em Jerusalém, que trouxessem ao SENHOR a oferta que Moisés servo de Deus havia imposto a Israel no deserto.
And they made a proclamation in Juda and Jerusalem, that every man should bring to the Lord the money which Moses the servant of God appointed for all Israel, in the desert.
10 E todos os príncipes e todo o povo se alegraram: e traziam, e lançavam no arca até enchê-la.
And all the princes, and all the people rejoiced: and going In they contributed and cast so much into the chest of the Lord, that it was filled.
11 E quando vinha o tempo para levar a arca ao magistrado do rei por mão dos levitas, quando viam que havia muito dinheiro, vinha o escriba do rei, e o que estava posto pelo sumo sacerdote, e levavam a arca, e esvaziavam-na, e traziam-na de volta a seu lugar; e assim o faziam a cada dia, e recolhiam muito dinheiro.
And when it was time to bring the chest before the king by the hands of the Levites, (for they saw there was much money, ) the king’s scribe, and he whom the high priest had appointed went in: and they poured out the money that was in the chest: and they carried back the chest to its place: and thus they did from day to day, and there was gathered an immense sum of money.
12 O qual dava o rei e Joiada aos que faziam a obra do serviço da casa do SENHOR, e tomavam pedreiros e oficiais que reparassem a casa do SENHOR, e ferreiros e artesãos de metal para compor a casa do SENHOR.
And the king and Joiada gave it to those who were over the works of the house of the Lord: but they hired with it stonecutters, and artificers of every kind of work to repair the house of the Lord: and such as wrought in iron and brass, to uphold what began to be falling.
13 Faziam, pois, os oficiais a obra, e por suas mãos foi a obra restaurada, e restituíram a casa de Deus a sua condição, e a consolidaram.
And the workmen were diligent, and the breach of the walls was closed up by their hands, and they set up the house of the Lord in its former state, and made it stand firm.
14 E quando houveram acabado, trouxeram o que restava do dinheiro ao rei e a Joiada, e fizeram dele vasos para a casa do SENHOR, vasos para o serviço, utensílios para os sacrifícios, colheres, vasos de ouro e de prata. E sacrificavam holocaustos continuamente na casa do SENHOR todos os dias de Joiada.
And when they had finished all the works, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Joiada: and with it were made vessels for the temple for the ministry, and for holocausts and bowls, and other vessels of gold and silver: and holocausts were offered in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Joiada.
15 Mas Joiada envelheceu, e morreu farto de dias: de cento e trinta anos era quando morreu.
But Joiada grew old and was full of days, and died when he was a hundred and thirty years old.
16 E sepultaram-no na cidade de Davi com os reis, porquanto havia feito bem com Israel, e para com Deus, e com sua casa.
And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good to Israel, and to his house.
17 Depois de Joiada ter morrido, vieram os príncipes de Judá, e fizeram reverência ao rei; e o rei os ouviu.
And after the death of Joiada, the princes of Juda went in, and worshipped the king: and he was soothed by their services and hearkened to them.
18 E abandonaram a casa do SENHOR o Deus de seus pais, e serviram aos bosques e às imagens esculpidas; e a ira veio sobre Judá e Jerusalém por este seu pecado.
And they forsook the temple of the Lord the God of their fathers, and served groves and idols, and wrath came upon Juda and Jerusalem for this sin.
19 E enviou-lhes profetas, para que os reconduzissem ao SENHOR, os quais lhes protestaram: mas eles não os escutaram.
And he sent prophets to them to bring them back to the Lord, and they would not give ear when they testified against them.
20 E o espírito de Deus investiu a Zacarias, filho de Joiada o sacerdote, o qual estando sobre o povo, lhes disse: Assim disse Deus: Por que quebrantais os mandamentos do SENHOR? Não vos virá bem disso; porque por haver deixado ao SENHOR, ele também vos deixará.
The spirit of God then came upon Zacharias the son of Joiada the priest, and he stood in the sight of the people, and said to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Why transgress you the commandment of the Lord which will not be for your good, and have forsaken the Lord, to make him forsake you?
21 Mas eles fizeram conspiração contra ele, e cobriram-lhe de pedras por mandado do rei, no pátio da casa do SENHOR.
And they gathered themselves together against him, and stoned him at the king’s commandment in the court of the house of the Lord.
22 Não teve, pois, memória o rei Joás da misericórdia que seu pai Joiada havia feito com ele, antes matou-lhe seu filho; o qual disse ao morrer: o SENHOR o veja, e o exija.
And king Joas did not remember the kindness that Joiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. And when he died, he said: The Lord see, and require it.
23 À volta do ano subiu contra ele o exército da Síria; e vieram a Judá e a Jerusalém, e destruíram no povo a todos os principais dele, e enviaram todos seus despojos ao rei a Damasco.
And when a year was come about, the army of Syria came up against him: and they came to Juda and Jerusalem, and killed all the princes of the people, and they sent all the spoils to the king of Damascus.
24 Porque ainda que o exército da Síria houvesse vindo com pouca gente, o SENHOR lhes entregou em suas mãos um exército muito numeroso; porquanto haviam deixado ao SENHOR o Deus de seus pais. E com Joás fizeram juízos.
And whereas there came a very small number of the Syrians, the Lord delivered into their hands an infinite multitude, because they had forsaken the Lord the God of their fathers: and on Joas they executed shameful judgments.
25 E indo-se dele os sírios, deixaram-no em muitas enfermidades; e conspiraram contra ele seus servos a causa dos sangues dos filhos de Joiada o sacerdote, e feriram-lhe em sua cama, e morreu: e sepultaram-lhe na cidade de Davi, mas não o sepultaram nos sepulcros dos reis.
And departing they left him in diseases: and his servants rose up him, for revenge of the blood of the son of Joiada the priest, and they slew him in his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
26 Os que conspiraram contra ele foram Zabade, filho de Simeate amonita, e Jozabade, filho de Sin moabita.
Now the men that conspired against him were Zabad the son of Semmaath an Ammonitess, and Jozabad the son of Semarith a Moabitess.
27 De seus filhos, e da multiplicação que fez das rendas, e da restauração da casa do SENHOR, eis que está escrito na história do livro dos reis. E reinou em seu lugar Amazias seu filho.
And concerning his sons, and the sum of money which was gathered under him, and the repairing the house of God; they are written more diligently in the book of kings: and Amasias his son reigned in his stead.
