2 Crônicas 24

1 Tinha Joás sete anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e quarenta anos reinou em Jerusalém: e era o nome de sua mãe Zibia, de Berseba.

Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Zibiah of Beersheba.

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

And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.

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

And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters.

4 E sucedeu depois disto que veio ao coração de Joás de renovar a casa do Senhor.

And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to repair the house of the LORD.

5 Ajuntou pois os sacerdotes e os levitas, e disse-lhes: saí pelas cidades de Judá, e ajuntai o dinheiro de todo o Israel para reparar a casa do vosso Deus de ano em ano; e vós apressai este negócio. Porém os levitas não se apressaram.

And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that you hasten the matter. However, the Levites hastened it not.

6 E o rei chamou a Joiada, o chefe, e disse-lhe: Porque não fizeste inquirição entre os levitas: para que trouxessem de Judá e de Jerusalém a oferta de Moisés, servo do Senhor, e da congregação de Israel, à tenda do testemunho?

And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, Why have you not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?

7 Porque, sendo Athalia ímpia, seus filhos arruinaram a casa de Deus, e até todas as coisas sagradas da casa do Senhor empregaram em Baalin.

For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD did they bestow on Baalim.

8 E deu o rei ordem e fizeram uma arca, e a puseram fora, à porta da casa do Senhor.

And at the king’s commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD.

9 E publicou-se em Judá e em Jerusalém que trouxessem ao Senhor a oferta de Moisés, o servo do Senhor, imposta a Israel no deserto.

And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the LORD the collection that Moses the servant of God laid on Israel in the wilderness.

10 Então todos os príncipes, 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 rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.

11 E sucedeu 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 sumo sacerdote, e esvaziavam a arca, e a tomavam, e a tornavam ao seu lugar: assim faziam de dia em dia, e ajuntaram dinheiro em abundância,

Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought to the king’s office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king’s scribe and the high priest’s officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.

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 também ferreiros e serralheiros, para repararem a casa do Senhor.

And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the LORD, and also such as worked iron and brass to mend 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.

So the workmen worked, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it.

14 E, depois de acabarem, trouxeram o resto do dinheiro para diante do rei e de Joiada, e dele fez vasos para a casa do Senhor, vasos para ministrar, e oferecer, e perfumadores e vasos de ouro e de prata. E continuamente sacrificaram holocaustos na casa do Senhor, todos os dias de Joiada.

And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of the LORD, even vessels to minister, and to offer with, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.

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

But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.

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 in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and toward his house.

17 Porém depois da morte de Joiada vieram os príncipes de Judá e prostraram-se perante o rei: e o rei os ouviu.

Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king listened to them.

18 E deixaram a casa do Senhor, Deus de seus pais, e serviram as imagens do bosque e os ídolos: então veio grande ira sobre Judá e Jerusalém por causa desta sua culpa.

And they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came on Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.

19 Porém enviou profetas entre eles, para os fazer tornar ao Senhor, os quais protestaram contra eles; mas eles não deram ouvidos.

Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again to the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.

20 E o espírito de Deus revestiu a Zacarias, filho do sacerdote Joiada, o qual se pôs em pé acima do povo, e lhes disse: Assim diz Deus: Porque transgredis os mandamentos do Senhor? portanto não prosperareis; porque deixastes ao Senhor, também ele vos deixará.

And the Spirit of God came on Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said to them, Thus says God, Why transgress you the commandments of the LORD, that you cannot prosper? because you have forsaken the LORD, he has also forsaken you.

21 E eles conspiraram contra ele, e o apedrejaram com pedras, pelo mandado do rei, no pátio da casa do Senhor.

And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the LORD.

22 Assim o rei Joás não se lembrou da beneficência que seu pai Joiada lhe fizera, porém matou-lhe o filho, o qual, morrendo, disse: O Senhor o verá, e o requererá.

Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The LORD look on it, and require it.

23 E sucedeu, no decurso de um ano, que o exército da Síria subiu contra ele, e vieram a Judá e a Jerusalém, e destruiram dentre o povo a todos os príncipes do povo; e todo o seu despojo enviaram ao rei de Damasco.

And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the host of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them to the king of Damascus.

24 Porque, ainda que o exército dos siros viera com poucos homens, contudo o Senhor deu na sua mão um exército de grande multidão, porquanto deixaram ao Senhor, Deus de seus pais. Assim executaram os juízos contra Joás.

For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men, and the LORD delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash.

25 E, retirando-se dele (porque em grandes enfermidades o deixaram) seus servos conspiraram contra ele 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 sepulcros dos reis.

And when they were departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases, ) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchers of the kings.

26 Estes pois foram os que conspiraram contra ele: Zabad, filho de Simeath, a amonita, e Jozabat, filho de Simreth, a moabita.

And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess.

27 E, quanto a seus filhos, e à grandeza do cargo que se lhe impôz, e ao estabelecimento da casa de Deus, eis que está escrito na história do livro dos reis: e Amasias, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.

Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens laid on him, and the repairing of the house of God, behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
