24 — 2 Paralipomenon

1Joas was seven years old when he began to reign: and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Sebia of Bersabee.Gioas avea sette anni quando cominciò a regnare: e quarant'anni regnò in Gerusalemme: sua madre avea nome Sebia di Bersabee.SEVEN yeares old was Ioas when he began to reigne: and he reigned fourty yeares in Ierusalem, the name of his mother was Sebia of Bersabee.Septem annorum erat Joas cum regnare cœpisset, et quadraginta annis regnavit in Jerusalem: nomen matris ejus Sebia de Bersabee. 2And he did that which is good before the Lord all the days of Joiada the priest.Ed egli fece quello, che era giusto nel cospetto del Signore per tutto il tempo, che visse Joiada Sacerdote.And he did that which is good before our Lord al the dayes of Ioiada the Priest.Fecitque quod bonum est coram Domino cunctis diebus Jojadæ sacerdotis. 3And Joiada took for him two wives, by whom he had sons and daughters.E Joiada gli fece prendere due mogli, dalle quali egli ebbe de' figliuoli, o delle figlie.And Ioiada tooke for him two wiues, of whom he begat sonnes & daughters.Accepit autem ei Jojada uxores duas, e quibus genuit filios et filias. 4After this Joas had a mind to repair the house of the Lord.Indi venne desiderio a Gioas di restaurare la casa del Signore.After which thinges it pleased Ioas to repayre the house of our Lord.Post quæ placuit Joas ut instauraret domum Domini. 5And he assembled the priests, and the Levites, and said to them: Go out to the cities of Juda, and gather of all Israel money to repair the temple of your God, from year to year: and do this with speed: but the Levites were negligent.E convocò i sacerdoti, e i Leviti e disse loro: Andate attorno per le città di Giuda a raccorre da tutto Israele il denaro per le riparazioni da farsi anno per anno al tempio del vostro Dio, e ciò fate con sollecitudine: ma i Leviti usarono poca diligenza.And he assembled the Priestes, and the Leuites, and sayd to them: Goe ye forth to the cities of Iuda, and gather of al Israel money for the reparation of the temple of your God, yeare by yeare, and doe this in hast: moreouer the Leuites did negligently.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. 6And the king called Joiada the chief, and said to him: Why hast thou not taken care to oblige the Levites to bring in out of Juda and Jerusalem the money that was appointed by Moses the servant of the Lord for all the multitude of Israel to bring into the tabernacle of the testimony?E il re chiamò Joiada Pontefice, e gli disse: Perchè non hai tu procurato d'indurre i Leviti a portare il denaro di Giuda, e di Gerusalemme secondo che fu stabilito da Mosè servo del Signore, che dovesse tutta la moltitudine d'Israele offerirlo per la erezione del tabernacolo dell'alleanza?And the king called Ioiada the prince, and sayd to him: why hast thou had no care to constrayne the Leuites to bring in out of Iuda and Ierusalem the money, that was appointed of Moyses the seruant of our Lord, that al the multitude of Israel should bring it in into the tabernacle of testimonie?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 ?

7For that wicked woman Athalia, and her children have destroyed the house of God, and adorned the temple of Baal with all the things that had been dedicated in the temple of the Lord.Imperocché la empia Athalia, e i suoi figliuoli hanno ruinata la casa di Dio, e di tutte le cose consagrate al tempio del Signore hanno ornato il tempio di Baalim.For the most impious Athalia, and her children haue destroyed the house of God, and of al thinges that had bene sanctified in the temple of our Lord, they adorned the temple of Baalim.Athalia enim impiissima, et filii ejus, destruxerunt domum Dei, et de universis quæ sanctificata fuerant in templo Domini, ornaverunt fanum Baalim. 8And the king commanded, and they made a chest: and set it by the gate of the house of the Lord on the outside.Il re adunque comandò, che si facesse una cassa: e la collocarono al di fuori vicino alla porta della casa del Signore.The king therfore commanded and they made a chest: and set it by the gate of our Lord on the out side.Præcepit ergo rex, et fecerunt arcam: posueruntque eam juxta portam domus Domini forinsecus. 9And they made a proclamation in Juda and Jerusalem, that every man should bring to the Lord the money which Moses the servant of God appointed for all Israel, in the desert.E fu intimato per tutto Giuda, e in Gerusalemme, che ciascheduno portasse al Signore il tributo imposto da Mosè servo di Dio sopra tutto Israele nel deserto.And it was proclaymed in Iuda and Ierusalem, that euery man should bring the price to our Lord, which Moyses the seruant of God appoynted ouer al Israel, in the desert.Et prædicatum est in Juda et Jerusalem ut deferrent singuli pretium Domino, quod constituit Moyses servus Dei super omnem Israël in deserto. 10And all the princes, and all the people rejoiced: and going in they contributed and cast so much into the chest of the Lord, that it was filled.E tutti i principi, e il popol tutto ne ebbero piacere: e andarono, e gettarono nell'arca il denaro, a segno che la empierono.And al the princes reioysed, and al the people: and going in they contributed into the chest of our Lord, and cast in so that it was filled.Lætatique sunt cuncti principes, et omnis populus, et ingressi contulerunt in arcam Domini, atque miserunt ita ut impleretur. 11And when it was time to bring the chest before the king by the hands of the Levites, (for they saw there was much money,) the king’s scribe, and he whom the high priest had appointed went in: and they poured out the money that was in the chest: and they carried back the chest to its place: and thus they did from day to day, and there was gathered an immense sum of money.E quando era tempo, che l'arca fosse portata per mano de' Leviti dinanzi al re (perocché vedevano, che il denaro era in gran quantità), veniva il segretario del re con un deputato eletto dal sommo Sacerdote, e mettevan fuori il denaro, che era nell'arca: e l'arca la riportavano al suo luogo: e così facevano tutti i giorni, e si raccolse infinito denaro.And when it was time that they should bring the chest before the king by the handes of Leuites (for they saw much money) the kinges Scribe went in, and he whom the high priest had appoynted: & they powred out the money that was in the chest, & recaried it to his place: and so did they from day to day, and there was gathered infinite money.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,

12And the king and Joiada gave it to those who were over the works of the house of the Lord: but they hired with it stonecutters, and artificers of every kind of work to repair the house of the Lord: and such as wrought in iron and brass, to uphold what began to be falling.Il quale fu dal re, e da Joiada dato a quelli, che aveano la soprintendenza ai lavori della casa del Signore: e questi con esso pagavano la mercede degli scarpellini, e degli artefici d'ogni specie per ristorare la casa del Signore: e similmente i lavoratori di ferro, e di bronzo, i quali racconciassero le cose, che avean principiato a patire.Which the king and Ioiada gaue to them, that ouersaw the workes of the house of our Lord: but they hired with it hewers of stones, and artificers of al workes, to repayre the house of our Lord: smithes also of yron and brasse, that that which began to fal, might be vpholden.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. 13And the workmen were diligent, and the breach of the walls was closed up by their hands, and they set up the house of the Lord in its former state, and made it stand firm.E gli operaj lavorarono con tutta diligenza, e per le mani loro furono chiusi i peli, che facevan le mura, e ritornarono la casa del Signore nel suo antico stato e la rendettero stabile, e salda.And they that wrought did industriously, and the breach of the walles was closed by their handes, and they raysed the house of our Lord into the old state, and made it stand firmely.Egeruntque hi qui operabantur industrie, et obducebatur parietum cicatrix per manus eorum, ac suscitaverunt domum Domini in statum pristinum, et firmiter eam stare fecerunt. 14And when they had finished all the works, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Joiada: and with it were made vessels for the temple for the ministry, and for holocausts and bowls, and other vessels of gold and silver: and holocausts were offered in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Joiada.E finiti che furono tutti i lavori portarono al re, e a Joiada il denaro che era avanzato: e con esso furon fatti de' vasi pel servigio del tempio, e pegli olocausti, e delle coppe, e altri vasi di oro, e di argento: e si offersero gli olocausti continuamente nella casa del Signore per tutto il tempo, che visse Joiada.And when they had accomplished al the workes, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Ioiada: of the which were made vessels of the temple to the ministerie, and for holocaustes, phials also, and other vessels of gold and siluer: and holocaustes were offered in the house of our Lord continually al the daies of Ioiada.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. 15But Joiada grew old and was full of days, and died when he was a hundred and thirty years old.Ma Joiada vecchio, e pieno di giorni morì in età di cento trent'anni.But Ioiada became old being ful of dayes, and died when he was an hundred and thirtie yeares old.Senuit autem Jojada plenus dierum, et mortuus est cum esset centum triginta annorum:

16And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good to Israel, and to his house.E fu sepolto nella città di David insieme coi re, perchè egli avea fatto del bene ad Israele, e alla casa di lui.And they buried him in the citie of Dauid with the kinges, because he had done good with Israel, and with his house.sepelieruntque eum in civitate David cum regibus, eo quod fecisset bonum cum Israël, et cum domo ejus. 17And after the death of Joiada, the princes of Juda went in, and worshipped the king: and he was soothed by their services and hearkened to them.Ma dopo la morte di Joiada i principi di Giuda andarono a inchinarsi al re; ed egli ammollito dai loro ossequi fece a modo loro.And after that Ioiada was dead, the princes of Iuda went in, and adored the king, who being altered by their seruiceablenesse, agreed to them.Postquam autem obiit Jojada, ingressi sunt principes Juda, et adoraverunt regem: qui delinitus obsequiis eorum, acquievit eis. 18And they forsook the temple of the Lord the God of their fathers, and served groves and idols, and wrath came upon Juda and Jerusalem for this sin.È abbandonarono il tempio del Signore Dio de' padri loro, e rendetter culto ai simolacri, ed ai boschetti: e questo peccato trasse l'ira sopra Giuda, e Gerusalemme.And they forsooke the temple of our Lord the God of their fathers, and serued groues, and sculptilles, and there came wrath agaynst Iuda, and Ierusalem for this sinne.Et dereliquerunt templum Domini Dei patrum suorum, servieruntque lucis et sculptilibus: et facta est ira contra Judam et Jerusalem propter hoc peccatum. 19And he sent prophets to them to bring them back to the Lord, and they would not give ear when they testified against them.E (Dio) mandava loro de' profeti, affinchè tornassero al Signore; ma quelli non volevano ascoltare le loro intimazioni.And he sent them prophetes, that they should returne to our Lord, whom protesting they would not heare.Mittebatque eis prophetas ut reverterentur ad Dominum, quos protestantes illi audire nolebant. 20The spirit of God then came upon Zacharias the son of Joiada the priest, and he stood in the sight of the people, and said to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Why transgress you the commandment of the Lord which will not be for your good, and have forsaken the Lord, to make him forsake you?Ma lo Spirito del Signore investì Zacharia figliuolo di Joiada, sacerdote; ed egli si presentò al cospetto del popolo, e disse loro: Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Per qual motivo trasgredite voi i comandamenti del Signore, lo che non tornerà in bene vostro, e avete abbandonato il Signore, perchè egli ancor vi abbandoni?The spirit of God therfore inuested Zacharias the sonne of Ioiada the Priest, & he stood in the sight of the people, and sayd to them: Thus sayth our Lord God: Why transgresse you the precept of our Lord, which thing shal not profit you, & haue forsaken our Lord, that he should forsake you?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 ?

21And they gathered themselves together against him, and stoned him at the king’s commandment in the court of the house of the Lord.E quelli ristrettisi insieme contro di lui lo lapidarono secondo l'ordine del re nell'atrio della casa del Signore.Who being gathered agaynst him, they threw stones according to the kinges commandement, in the court of the house of our Lord.Qui congregati adversus eum, miserunt lapides juxta regis imperium in atrio domus Domini. 22And king Joas did not remember the kindness that Joiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. And when he died, he said: The Lord see, and require it.E il re Gioas non si ricordò dei benefizj fatti a lui da Joiada, ma uccise il suo figliuolo, il quale in morendo disse: Il Signore vegga, e faccia vendetta.And Ioas the king did not remember the mercie, that Ioiada his father had done with him, but he killed his sonne. Who when he died, sayd: Our Lord see, and require it.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. 23And when a year was come about, the army of Syria came up against him: and they came to Juda and Jerusalem, and killed all the princes of the people, and they sent all the spoils to the king of Damascus.E compito il corso di un anno, l'esercito della Siria si mosse contro Gioas: ed entrò nel paese di Giuda, e in Gerusalemme, e fecero morire tutti i capi del popolo se mandaron tutto il bottino al loro re in Damasco.And when a yeare was come about, the armie of Syria came vp against him: & it came into Iuda & Ierusalem, & slewe al the princes of the people, and al the pray they sent to the king into Damascus.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. 24And whereas there came a very small number of the Syrians, the Lord delivered into their hands an infinite multitude, because they had forsaken the Lord the God of their fathers: and on Joas they executed shameful judgments.E veramente essendo venuti i Siri in mediocrissimo numero, il Signore diede nelle mani loro una infinita moltitudine, perchè aveano abbandonato il Signore Dio de' padre loro. E anche Gioas fu strapazzato da quelli obbrobriosamente.And wheras there was come a very smal number of the Syrians, our Lord deliuered into their handes an infinit multitude, for that they had forsaken our Lord the God of their fathers: on Ioas also they exercised ignomious iudgementes.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.

25And departing they left him in great diseases: and his servants rose up against him, for revenge of the blood of the son of Joiada the priest, and they slew him in his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.E partendosi lo lasciarono in gravi malori e i suoi servi se gli levaron contro per vendicare il sangue del figliuolo di Joiada, sacerdote; e lo ammazzarono nel suo letto, ed ei morì: e fu sepolto nella città di David, ma non ne' sepolcri dei re.And departing they left him in great diseases: and his seruantes rose agaynst him, for reuenge of the bloud of the sonne of Ioiada the priest, & they slewe him in his bed, & he dyed: and they buried him in the Citie of Dauid, but not in the kinges sepulchres.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. 26Now the men that conspired against him were Zabad the son of Semmaath an Ammonitess, and Jozabad the son of Semarith a Moabitess.E quelli, che lo tradirono, furono Zabad figliuolo di Semmaath donna ammonita, e Jozabad figliuolo di Semarith donna Moabite.And there conspired against him Zabad the sonne of Semmaath an Ammonitesse, & Iozabad the sonne of Semarith a Moabitesse.Insidiati vero sunt ei Zabad filius Semaath Ammanitidis, et Jozabad filius Semmarith Moabitidis. 27And concerning his sons, and the sum of money which was gathered under him, and the repairing the house of God, they are written more diligently in the book of kings: and Amasias his son reigned in his stead.Quanto ai figliuoli, ch'egli ebbe, e alla somma del denaro messa insieme sotto di lui, e al modo, onde fu ristorata la casa di Dio, queste cose sono scritte più minutamente nel libro dei re. Or a lui succedette nel regno Amasia suo figliuolo.Moreouer his children, and the summe of money, which was gathered vnder him, & the repayring of the house of God are writen more diligently in the Booke of kinges: and Amasias his sonne reigned for him.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.
