Vidas dos Profetas 22

1Zacarias, filho de Joiada

1Zechariah son of Jehoiada

2Ele era de Jerusalém, filho do sacerdote Joiada, o profeta que Joás, rei de Judá, matou junto ao altar, cujo sangue a casa de Davi derramou dentro do santuário, no átrio. Os sacerdotes o enterraram ao lado de seu pai.

2He was of Jerusalem, the son of Jehoiada the priest, the prophet whom Joash king of Judah slew beside the altar, whose blood the house of David shed within the sanctuary, in the court. The priests buried him beside his father.

3Daquele momento em diante houve aparições portentosas no templo, e os sacerdotes não podiam ter visão de anjos de Deus, nem proferir oráculos do santuário interno; nem puderam consultar o éfode, nem responder ao povo por meio do Urim e do Tumim, como antigamente.

3From that time on there were portentous appearances in the temple, and the priests could see no vision of angels of God, nor give forth oracles from the inner sanctuary; nor were they able to inquire with the ephod, nor to give answer to the people by Urim and Thummim, as in former time.
