2 Kings 12

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash reigned. And he reigned for forty years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Zebiah from Beersheba.	1 Começou a reinar no sétimo ano de Jeú e reinou durante quarenta anos em Jerusalém. Sua mãe chamava-se Sébia, e era natural de Bersabéia.
2 And Jehoash did what was right in the sight of the Lord, during all the days that Jehoiada, the priest, taught him.	2 Joás fez o que era bom aos olhos do Senhor, durante todo o tempo em que esteve sob a direção do sacerdote Jojada.
3 Yet still he did not take away the high places. For the people were still immolating, and burning incense, in the high places.	3 Todavia, não destruiu os lugares altos, e ali o povo continuava sacrificando e queimando incenso.
4 And Jehoash said to the priests: “All of the money for the holy things, which has been brought into the temple of the Lord from those who pass by, which is offered for the price of a soul, and which they bring into the temple of the Lord willingly, from their own free heart:	4 Joás disse aos sacerdotes: Todo o dinheiro consagrado, que for trazido ao templo do Senhor, assim como o dinheiro que for entregue por todo israelita recenseado, e o que provir do resgate das pessoas, após avaliação, como também os dons espontâneos oferecidos ao templo do Senhor,
5 let the priests, according to their ranks, take and use it in order to repair the surfaces of the house, wherever they see anything in need of repair.”	5 recebam-no os sacerdotes, cada um receba-o dos seus clientes, e empreguem-no na reparação do edifício, onde quer que se encontre qualquer estrago.
6 And yet, even until the twenty-third year of king Jehoash, the priests did not repair the surfaces of the temple.	6 Ora, no vigésimo terceiro ano do reinado de Joás, os sacerdotes não tinham ainda feito restauração alguma no templo.
7 And king Jehoash called the high priest, Jehoiada, and the priests, saying to them: “Why have you not repaired the surfaces of the temple? Therefore, you may no longer accept money according to your ranks. Instead, return it in order that the temple may be repaired.”	7 O rei chamou o sacerdote Jojada e os outros sacerdotes, e disse-lhes: Por que não fazeis vós a reparação do templo? Doravante não recebereis mais o dinheiro de vossos clientes, mas o entregareis para os reparos do templo.
8 And so the priests were prohibited from accepting any more money from the people to repair the surfaces of the house.	8 Os sacerdotes consentiram em não mais receber o dinheiro do povo, e declinaram do cargo das reparações do edifício.
9 And the high priest, Jehoiada, took a certain chest, and he opened a hole in the top, and he placed it beside the altar, to the right of those who were entering the house of the Lord. And the priests who kept the doors put all the money in it which was being brought into the temple of the Lord.	9 O sacerdote Jojada tomou um cofre, fez-lhe um buraco na tampa e colocou-o junto do altar, à direita da entrada do templo do Senhor. Os sacerdotes que guardavam a entrada do templo ali depositavam todo o dinheiro que era levado ao templo do Senhor.
10 And when they saw that there was a great amount of money in the chest, the scribe of the king and the high priest went up and poured it out. And they counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord.	10 Quando viam que havia muito dinheiro no cofre, vinha um escriba do rei com o sumo sacerdote, que recolhia e contava todo o dinheiro que se encontrava no templo do Senhor.
11 And they gave it out, by number and measure, to the hands of those who were over the masons of the house of the Lord. And they weighed it out to the carpenters and masons, to those who were working in the house of the Lord	11 E uma vez pesado o dinheiro, era o mesmo entregue nas mãos dos que presidiam as obras do templo do Senhor. Estes empregavam-no pagando os carpinteiros e operários que trabalhavam nas reparações,
12 and restoring the surfaces, and to those who were cutting stones, and buying timber and stones to be cut, so that the repairs to the house of the Lord might be finished: for all that was needed toward the expenses in order to strengthen the house.	12 os pedreiros e canteiros, comprando a madeira e as pedras de cantaria necessárias às reparações, e cobrindo todas as despesas decorrentes dos trabalhos.
13 Yet truly, from the same money, they did not make for the temple of the Lord water pitchers, or small hooks, or censers, or trumpets, or any vessel of gold or silver, from the money that was brought into the temple of the Lord.	13 Não se faziam, porém, com esse dinheiro que era trazido ao templo do Senhor, taças, nem facas, nem bacias, nem trombetas, nem utensílio algum de ouro ou de prata;
14 For it was given to those who were doing the work, so that the temple of the Lord might be repaired.	14 mas era dado aos empreiteiros, que o empregavam nas reparações do templo do Senhor.
15 And they did not ration the money to the men who received it in order to distribute it to the artisans. Instead, they bestowed it with faith.	15 Não se pediam contas àqueles que recebiam o dinheiro destinado à paga dos operários, porque eram homens honestos.
16 Yet truly, the money for offenses and the money for sins, they did not bring into the temple of the Lord, since it was for the priests.	16 Quanto ao dinheiro dos sacrifícios pelos delitos ou pelos pecados, não era levado à casa do Senhor, mas era dos sacerdotes.
17 Then Hazael, the king of Syria, ascended and fought against Gath, and he captured it. And he directed his face, so that he might ascend against Jerusalem.	17 Naquele tempo, Hazael, rei da Síria, sitiou Get e apoderou-se dela. Depois foi atacar Jerusalém.
18 For this reason, Jehoash, the king of Judah, took all the sanctified things, which Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, the kings of Judah, had consecrated and which he himself had offered, and all the silver that could be found in the treasuries of the temple of the Lord and in the palace of the king, and he sent it to Hazael, the king of Syria. And so he withdrew from Jerusalem.	18 Joás, porém, rei de Judá, tomando os objetos sagrados oferecidos pelos seus pais, Josafá, Jorão e Ocozias, reis de Judá, e os que ele mesmo tinha oferecido, assim como todo o ouro que se achava nas reservas do templo do Senhor e do palácio real, mandou tudo isso a Hazael, rei da Síria, o qual desistiu de sua campanha contra Jerusalém.
19 Now the rest of the words of Jehoash, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?	19 O resto da história de Joás, seus atos e seus grandes feitos, tudo se acha consignado no livro das Crônicas dos reis de Judá.
20 Then his servants rose up and conspired among themselves. And they struck down Jehoash, at the house of Millo, on the descent of Silla.	20 Seus servos levantaram-se, fizeram uma conspiração e assassinaram o rei em Bet-Milo, no declive de Sela.
21 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 the city of David. And Amaziah, his son, reigned in his place.	21 Josacar, filho de Semaat, e Josabad, filho de Somer, seus criados, feriram-no, e ele morreu. Joás foi sepultado com seus pais na cidade de Davi. Seu filho Amasias sucedeu-lhe no trono.
