2 Kings 12
1 In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and forty years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
No sétimo ano de Jeú começou a reinar Joás, e reinou quarenta anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe foi Zíbia, de Berseba.
2 And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
E Joás fez o que era coreto aos olhos do SENHOR todo o tempo que o sacerdote Joiada o conduziu.
3 But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
Contudo isso os altos não se tiraram; que ainda sacrificava e queimava o povo incenso nos altos.
4 And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the LORD, even the money of every one that passeth the account, the money of every man’s assessment, and all the money that cometh into any man’s heart to bring into the house of the LORD,
E Joás disse aos sacerdotes: Todo o dinheiro das santificações que se costuma trazer à casa do SENHOR, o dinheiro dos que passam no censo, o dinheiro pelas pessoas, cada qual segundo seu valor, e todo o dinheiro que cada um de sua própria vontade põe na casa do SENHOR.
5 Let the priests take it to them, every man of his acquaintance: and let them repair the breaches of the house, wherever any breach shall be found.
Recebam-no os sacerdotes, cada um de seus familiares, e reparem as fendas do templo de onde quer que se achar abertura.
6 But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.
Porém o ano vinte e três do rei Joás, não haviam ainda reparado os sacerdotes as aberturas do templo.
7 Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said to them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore receive no more money of your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house.
Chamando então o rei Joás ao sacerdote Joiada e aos sacerdotes, disse-lhes: Por que não reparais as aberturas do templo? Agora, pois, não tomeis mais o dinheiro de vossos familiares, mas sim dai-o para reparar as fendas do templo.
8 And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, neither to repair the breaches of the house.
E os sacerdotes consentiram em não tomar mais dinheiro do povo, nem ter cargo de reparar as aberturas do templo.
9 But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the LORD: and the priests that kept the door put in it all the money that was brought into the house of the LORD.
Mas o sacerdote Joiada tomou uma arca, e fez-lhe na tampa um furo, e a pôs junto ao altar, à direita quando se entra no templo do SENHOR; e os sacerdotes que guardavam a porta, punham ali todo o dinheiro que se metia na casa do SENHOR.
10 And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags, and counted the money that was found in the house of the LORD.
E quando viam que havia muito dinheiro no arca, vinha o notário do rei e o grande sacerdote, e contavam o dinheiro que achavam no templo do SENHOR, e guardavam-no.
11 And they gave the money, being counted, into the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of the LORD: and they paid it out to the carpenters and builders, that wrought upon the house of the LORD,
E davam o dinheiro suficiente em mão dos que faziam a obra, e dos que tinham o cargo da casa do SENHOR; e eles o gastavam em pagar os carpinteiros e mestres que reparavam a casa do SENHOR,
12 And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
E os pedreiros e cortadores de pedras; e em comprar a madeira e pedra lavrada para reparar as aberturas da casa do SENHOR; e em tudo o que se gastava na casa para repará-la.
13 Yet there were not made for the house of the LORD bowls of silver, snuffers, basons, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the LORD:
Mas daquele dinheiro que se trazia à casa do SENHOR, não se faziam bacias de prata, nem saltérios, nem bacias, nem trombetas; nem nenhum outro vaso de ouro nem de prata se fazia para o templo do SENHOR:
14 But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired with it the house of the LORD.
Porque o davam aos que faziam a obra, e com ele reparavam a casa do SENHOR.
15 Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully.
E não se tomava em conta aos homens em cujas mãos o dinheiro era entregue, para que eles o dessem aos que faziam a obra: porque o faziam eles fielmente.
16 The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of the LORD: it was the priests’.
O dinheiro pelo delito, e o dinheiro pelos pecados, não se metia na casa do SENHOR; porque era dos sacerdotes.
17 Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it: and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
Então subiu Hazael rei da Síria, e lutou contra Gate, e tomou-a; e Hazael decidiu subir contra Jerusalém;
18 And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasuries of the house of the LORD, and in the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.
Pelo que tomou Joás rei de Judá todas as ofertas que havia dedicado Josafá, e Jorão e Acazias seus pais, reis de Judá, e as que ele havia dedicado, e todo o ouro que se achou nos tesouros da casa do SENHOR, e na casa do rei, e enviou-o a Hazael, rei da Síria; e ele se partiu de Jerusalém.
19 And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Os demais dos feitos de Joás, e todas as coisas que fez, não estão escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?
20 And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and slew Joash in the house of Millo, which goeth down to Silla.
E seus servos se levantaram, fizeram uma conspiração, e mataram a Joás na casa de Milo, quando ele estava descendo a Sila;
21 For Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
Pois Jozacar filho de Simeate, e Jozabade filho de Somer, seus servos, feriram-lhe, e ele morreu. E sepultaram-lhe com seus pais na cidade de Davi, e reinou em seu lugar Amasias seu filho.
