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.

Joas was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Sabia of Bersabee.

2 E fez Joás o que era recto aos olhos do Senhor, todos os dias do sacerdote Joiada.

And Joas did that which right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jodae the priest.

3 E tomou-lhe Joiada duas mulheres, e gerou filhos e filhas.

And Jodae took to himself two wives, and they bore sons and daughters.

4 E succedeu depois d'isto que veiu ao coração de Joás de renovar a casa do Senhor.

And it came to pass afterward that it came into the heart of Joas to repair 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.

And he gathered the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out into the cities of Juda, and collect money of all Israel to repair the house of the Lord from year to year, and make haste to speak [of it]. But the Levites hasted not.

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?

And king Joas called Jodae the chief, and said to him, Why have you not looked after the Levites, so that they should bring from Juda and Jerusalem that which was prescribed by Moses the man of God, when he assembled Israel at the tabernacle of witness?

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 Gotholia was a transgressor, and her sons tore down the house of God; for they offered the holy things of the house of the Lord to Baalim.

8 E deu o rei ordem e fizeram uma arca, e a pozeram fóra, á porta da casa do Senhor.

And the king said, Let a box be made, and let it be put at the gate of the house of the Lord without.

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.

And let [men] proclaim in Juda an in Jerusalem, that [the people] should bring to the Lord, as Moses the servant of God spoke concerning 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 princes and all the people gave, and brought in, and cast into the box until it was filled.

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,

And it came to pass, when they brought in the box to the officers of the king by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that the money was more than sufficient, then came the king's scribe, and the officer of the high priest, and emptied the box, and restored it to its place. Thus they did day by day, and collected much money.

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.

And the king and Jodae the priest gave it to the workmen employed in the service of the house of the Lord, and they hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the Lord, also smiths and braziers 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.

And the workmen wrought, and the works prospered in their hands, and they established the house of the Lord on its foundation, 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.

And when they had finished [it], they brought to the king and to Jodae the remainder of the money, and they made vessels for the house of the Lord, vessels of service for whole burnt offerings, and gold and silver [censers]: and they offered up whole burnt offerings in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Jodae.

15 E envelheceu Joiada, e morreu farto de dias: era da edade de cento e trinta annos quando morreu.

And Jodae grew old, being full of days, and he died, being a hundred and thirty years old at his death.

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.

And they buried him with the kings in the city of David, because he had dealt well with Israel, and with 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.

And it came to pass after the death of Jodae, [that] the princes of Juda went in, and did obeisance to the king. Then 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.

And they forsook the house of the Lord God of their fathers, and served the Astartes and idols: and there was wrath upon Juda and Jerusalem in that day.

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 turn them to the Lord; but they listened not: and he testified to them, but they obeyed not.

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.

And the Spirit of God came upon Azarias the son of Jodae the priest, and he stood up above the people, and said, Thus says the Lord, Why do you transgress the commandments of the Lord? so shall you not prosper; for you have forsaken the Lord, and he will forsake you.

21 E elles conspiraram contra elle, e o apedrejaram com pedras, pelo mandado do rei, no pateo da casa do Senhor.

And they conspired against him, and stone him by command of king Joas in the court of the Lord's house.

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.

So Joas remembered not the kindness which his father Jodae had exercised towards him, but killed his son. And as he died, he said, The Lord look upon [it], and judge.

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.

And it came to pass after the end of the year, [that] the host of Syria went up against him, and came against Juda and Jerusalem: and they killed all the chiefs of the people amongst the people, and all their spoils they sent to the king of 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 Syria came with few men, yet God gave into their hands a very large army, because they had forsaken the God of their fathers; and he brought judgements on Joas.

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.

And after they had departed from him, when they had left him in sore diseases, then his servants conspired against him because of the blood of the son of Jodae the priest, and killed him on his bed, and he died, and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchre 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.

And they that conspired against him were Zabed the son of Samaath the Ammanite, and Jozabed the son of Samareth the Moabite.

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.

And all his sons, and the five came to him: and the other [matters], behold, they are written in the book of the kings. And Amasias his son reigned in his stead.
