2 Chronicles 24

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	VULGATA
1 Joash was seven years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for forty years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Zibiah, from Beersheba.	1 Septem annorum erat Joas cum regnare cœpisset, et quadraginta annis regnavit in Jerusalem : nomen matris ejus Sebia de Bersabee.
2 And he did what is good before the Lord during all the days of Jehoiada, the priest.	2 Fecitque quod bonum est coram Domino cunctis diebus Jojadæ sacerdotis.
3 Now Jehoiada gave to him two wives, from whom he conceived sons and daughters.	3 Accepit autem ei Jojada uxores duas, e quibus genuit filios et filias.
4 After these things, it pleased Joash to repair the house of the Lord.	4 Post quæ placuit Joas ut instauraret domum Domini.
5 And he gathered together the priests and Levites, and he said to them: “Go out to the cities of Judah, and collect from all of Israel money to repair the surfaces of the temple of your God, throughout each year. And do this promptly.” But the Levites acted negligently.	5 Congregavitque sacerdotes et Levitas, et dixit eis : Egredimini ad civitates Juda, et colligite de universo Israël pecuniam ad sartatecta templi Dei vestri per singulos annos, festinatoque hoc facite. Porro Levitæ egere negligentius.
6 And the king summoned Jehoiada, the leader, and he said to him: “Why was there no concern with you, so that you would compel the Levites to bring, from Judah and from Jerusalem, the money that was appointed by Moses, the servant of the Lord, so as to bring it, from the entire multitude of Israel, to the tabernacle of the testimony?	6 Vocavitque rex Jojadam principem, et dixit ei : Quare tibi non fuit curæ, ut cogeres Levitas inferre de Juda et de Jerusalem pecuniam quæ constituta est a Moyse servo Domini, ut inferret eam omnis multitudo Israël in tabernaculum testimonii ?
7 For that very impious woman Athaliah and her sons have destroyed the house of God, and they have adorned the shrine of Baal from all the things that had been sanctified in the temple of the Lord.”	7 Athalia enim impiissima, et filii ejus, destruxerunt domum Dei, et de universis quæ sanctificata fuerant in templo Domini, ornaverunt fanum Baalim.
8 Therefore, the king instructed, and they made an ark. And they placed it beside the gate of the house of the Lord, on the outside.	8 Præcepit ergo rex, et fecerunt arcam : posueruntque eam juxta portam domus Domini forinsecus.
9 And they proclaimed, in Judah and Jerusalem, that each one should bring to the Lord the money that Moses, the servant of God, appointed in the desert, concerning all of Israel.	9 Et prædicatum est in Juda et Jerusalem ut deferrent singuli pretium Domino, quod constituit Moyses servus Dei super omnem Israël in deserto.
10 And all the leaders and all the people rejoiced. And upon entering, they together took and placed so much into the ark of the Lord that it was filled.	10 Lætatique sunt cuncti principes, et omnis populus, et ingressi contulerunt in arcam Domini, atque miserunt ita ut impleretur.
11 And when it was time for them to bring the ark before the king by the hands of the Levites, for they saw that there was much money, the scribe of the king, and the one whom the high priest had appointed, entered. And they poured out the money that was in the ark. Then they carried the ark back to its place. And they did this on each day. And an immense sum of money was gathered.	11 Cumque tempus esset ut deferrent arcam coram rege per manus Levitarum (videbant enim multam pecuniam), ingrediebatur scriba regis, et quem primus sacerdos constituerat, effundebantque pecuniam quæ erat in arca, porro arcam reportabant ad locum suum : sicque faciebant per singulos dies. Et congregata est infinita pecunia,
12 And the king and Jehoiada gave it to those who were in charge of the works of the house of the Lord. Then with it they hired hewers of stone, and artisans of every kind, so that they might repair the house of the Lord, and also so that the works of iron and of brass, which had begun to fall, would be reinforced.	12 quam dederunt rex et Jojada his qui præerant operibus domus Domini : at illi conducebant ex ea cæsores lapidum, et artifices operum singulorum ut instaurarent domum Domini : fabros quoque ferri et æris, ut quod cadere cœperat, fulciretur.
13 And those who were hired were working industriously. And the breach in the walls was healed by their hands. And they returned the house of the Lord to a pristine state. And they caused it stand firm.	13 Egeruntque hi qui operabantur industrie, et obducebatur parietum cicatrix per manus eorum, ac suscitaverunt domum Domini in statum pristinum, et firmiter eam stare fecerunt.
14 And when they had completed all the works, they brought the remaining part of the money before the king and Jehoiada. And from it, the vessels of the temple were made, for the ministry and for the holocausts, including bowls and other vessels of gold and silver. And holocausts were being offered in the house of the Lord continually, during all the days of Jehoiada.	14 Cumque complessent omnia opera, detulerunt coram rege et Jojada reliquam partem pecuniæ : de qua facta sunt vasa templi in ministerium, et ad holocausta, phialæ quoque, et cetera vasa aurea et argentea : offerebantur holocausta in domo Domini jugiter cunctis diebus Jojadæ.
15 But Jehoiada was old and full of days. And he died when he was one hundred thirty years old.	15 Senuit autem Jojada plenus dierum, et mortuus est cum esset centum triginta annorum :
16 And they buried him in the City of David, with the kings, because he had done good to Israel and to his house.	16 sepelieruntque eum in civitate David cum regibus, eo quod fecisset bonum cum Israël, et cum domo ejus.
17 Then, after Jehoiada passed away, the leaders of Judah entered and reverenced the king. And he was enticed by their obsequiousness, and so he acquiesced to them.	17 Postquam autem obiit Jojada, ingressi sunt principes Juda, et adoraverunt regem : qui delinitus obsequiis eorum, acquievit eis.
18 And they abandoned the temple of the Lord, the God of their fathers, and they served sacred groves and graven images. And wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem because of this sin.	18 Et dereliquerunt templum Domini Dei patrum suorum, servieruntque lucis et sculptilibus : et facta est ira contra Judam et Jerusalem propter hoc peccatum.
19 And he sent prophets to them, so that they might return to the Lord. And though they were offering testimony, they were not willing to listen to them.	19 Mittebatque eis prophetas ut reverterentur ad Dominum, quos protestantes illi audire nolebant.
20 And so the Spirit of God clothed Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the priest. And he stood in the sight of the people, and he said to them: “Thus says the Lord God: Why have you transgressed the precept of the Lord, though it was not to your benefit, and why have you abandoned the Lord, so that he would then abandon you?”	20 Spiritus itaque Dei induit Zachariam filium Jojadæ sacerdotem, et stetit in conspectu populi, et dixit eis : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Quare transgredimini præceptum Domini, quod vobis non proderit, et dereliquistis Dominum ut derelinqueret vos ?
21 And gathering together against him, they stoned him, beside the place of the king, in the atrium of the house of the Lord.	21 Qui congregati adversus eum, miserunt lapides juxta regis imperium in atrio domus Domini.
22 And king Joash did not remember the mercy with which Jehoiada, his father, had treated him; instead he put to death his son. And as he was dying, he said: “May the Lord see and take account.”	22 Et non est recordatus Joas rex misericordiæ quam fecerat Jojada pater illius secum, sed interfecit filium ejus. Qui cum moreretur, ait : Videat Dominus, et requirat.
23 And when a year had turned, the army of Syria ascended against him. And they went to Judah and Jerusalem. And they put to death all the leaders of the people. And they sent all the spoils to the king of Damascus.	23 Cumque evolutus esset annus, ascendit contra eum exercitus Syriæ : venitque in Judam et Jerusalem, et interfecit cunctos principes populi, atque universam prædam miserunt regi in Damascum.
24 And although certainly there had arrived a very small number of Syrians, the Lord delivered into their hands an immense multitude. For they had forsaken the Lord, the God of their fathers. Also, against Joash they executed disgraceful judgments.	24 Et certe cum permodicus venisset numerus Syrorum, tradidit Dominus in manibus eorum infinitam multitudinem, eo quod dereliquissent Dominum Deum patrum suorum : in Joas quoque ignominiosa exercuere judicia.
25 And upon departing, they left him greatly debilitated. Then his servants rose up against him, in vengeance for the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest. And they killed him on his bed, and he died. And they buried him in the City of David, but not in the sepulchers of the kings.	25 Et abeuntes dimiserunt eum in languoribus magnis : surrexerunt autem contra eum servi sui in ultionem sanguinis filii Jojadæ sacerdotis, et occiderunt eum in lectulo suo, et mortuus est : sepelieruntque eum in civitate David, sed non in sepulchris regum.
26 Truly, those who ambushed him were Zabad, the son of an Ammonite woman named Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of a Moabite woman named Shimrith.	26 Insidiati vero sunt ei Zabad filius Semaath Ammanitidis, et Jozabad filius Semmarith Moabitidis.
27 But concerning his sons, and the sum of money that had been amassed under him, and the repairing of the house of God, these things have been written more diligently in the book of kings. Then his son, Amaziah, reigned in his place.	27 Porro filii ejus, ac summa pecuniæ quæ adunata fuerat sub eo, et instauratio domus Dei, scripta sunt diligentius in libro regum : regnavit autem Amasias filius ejus pro eo.
