列王紀下 12
1 他在耶胡第七年即位為王，在耶路撒冷作王凡四十年。他的母親名叫漆彼雅，是貝耳舍巴人。
In year seven of Jehu he became king Jehoash and forty year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his [was] Zibiah from Beer Sheba.
2 約阿士在司祭約雅達教導他期間，行了上主視為正義的事，
And he did Jehoash the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh all days his which he instructed him Jehoiada the priest.
3 只是沒有廢除高丘，人民仍在高丘上焚香獻祭。
Only the high places not they were removed still the people [were] sacrificing and [were] making smoke at the high places.
4 約阿士對司祭說：「凡人向上主的殿繳納作獻儀錢，不論是人丁贖金，或樂意捐獻於上主殿中的錢，
And he said Jehoash to the priests all [the] money of the holy gifts which it will be brought [the] house of Yahweh money passing along everyone [the] money of persons of valuation his all [the] money which it will come up on [the] heart of a person to bring [the] house of Yahweh.
5 司祭們都可以接收，每人也可向相識的人去勸捐；但司祭們應該修理聖殿需要修理的破壞之處。」
Let them take themselves the priests each from with acquaintance his and they they will repair [the] damage of the house to every where it will be found there damage.
6 但是，直到約阿士王第二十三年，司祭尚未修理聖殿的破壞之處。
And it was in year twenty and three year of the king Jehoash not they had repaired the priests [the] damage of the house.
7 於是約阿士王將約雅達大司祭和其他司祭召來，問他們說：「你們為什麼不修理聖殿破壞之處﹖現在你們不要再向相識的人收錢了；應把所有的錢交出，用來修理聖殿的破壞之處。」
And he summoned the king Jehoash Jehoiada the priest and the priests and he said to them why? [are] not you repairing [the] damage of the house and now may not you take money from with acquaintances your for for [the] damage of the house you will give it.
8 司祭們就同意不再向人民收錢，也不再負責修理聖殿的破壞之處。
And they agreed the priests to not to take money from with the people and to not to repair [the] damage of the house.
9 司祭約雅達於是拿來一個箱子，箱子上面開了一個口，安放在祭壇旁邊，即在上主聖殿入口的右邊，守門的司祭將所有獻於上主聖殿的銀錢，放入箱內。
And he took Jehoiada the priest a chest one and he bored a hole in lid its and he put it beside the altar (from [the] right [side] *Q(K)*) when comes anyone [the] house of Yahweh and they put there the priests [who] kept of the threshold all the money which was brought [the] house of Yahweh.
10 幾時看見箱內的錢夠多了，君王的秘書和大司祭就上來，把錢倒出，數點上主殿內所有的銀錢。
And it was when saw they that much the money [was] in the chest and he came up [the] scribe of the king and the priest great and they tied up and they counted the money which was found [the] house of Yahweh.
11 他們將秤好了的錢，交給上主殿內間監工的管理員，由他們發給在上主殿內工作的木匠和建築工人，
And they put the money weighed out on ([the] hands of *Q(K)*) [the] doers of the work (who were appointed *Q(K)*) [the] house of Yahweh and they brought out it to [the] craftsmen of wood and to the builders who were working on [the] house of Yahweh.
12 泥水匠和石匠，或購買木料和鑿刻好的石頭，用來修補上主殿內的破壞之處；總之，用來作為修理聖殿的費用。
And to the masons and to [the] cutters of stone and to acquire wood and stones of hewing to repair [the] damage of [the] house of Yahweh and for all that it went out on the house to repair [it].
13 進獻於上主聖殿的銀錢，並沒有用來製造上主殿內的銀盆、燭剪、盤子、號筒，或任何金銀器皿，
Only not it was made [the] house of Yahweh basins of silver snuffers bowls trumpets any article of gold and article of silver from the money which was brought [the] house of Yahweh.
14 只是將銀錢交給工作人員，用來修理上主的殿。
For to [the] doers of the work they gave it and they repaired with it [the] house of Yahweh.
15 也並不需要向那些經手收錢付給工人的人算賬，因為他們做事忠信可靠。
And not they settled accounts with the men whom they put the money on hand their to give to [the] doers of the work for in faithfulness they [were] working.
16 至於獻作贖過祭和贖罪祭的錢，不歸於上主的殿，全歸於司祭。
Money of guilt offering and money of sin offerings not it was brought [the] house of Yahweh to the priests they belonged.
17 那時，阿蘭王哈匝耳上來攻打加特，也攻下了，準備進攻耶路撒冷。
Then he went up Hazael [the] king of Aram and he fought on Gath and he captured it and he set Hazael face his to go up on Jerusalem.
18 猶大王約阿士就將他祖先猶大王約沙法特、約蘭和阿哈齊雅所奉獻的聖物，同他自己奉獻的聖物，以及上主聖殿和王宮的府庫內儲藏的金子，全部取出來，送給了阿蘭王哈匝耳；哈匝耳就離開了耶路撒冷。
And he took Jehoash [the] king of Judah all the holy things which they had consecrated Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah ancestors his [the] kings of Judah and own holy things his and all the gold which was found in [the] treasuries of [the] house of Yahweh and [the] house of the king and he sent [them] to Hazael [the] king of Aram and he went up from on Jerusalem.
19 約阿士其餘的事蹟，他行的一切，都記載在猶大列王實錄上。
And [the] rest of [the] matters of Joash and all that he did ¿ not [are] they written on [the] scroll of [the] matters of the days of [the] kings of Judah.
20 約阿士的臣僕起來結黨謀反，在約阿士下到米羅宮時，將他殺死；
And they arose servants his and they conspired a conspiracy and they struck down Joash Beth-Millo which goes down Silla.
21 殺他的是他的臣僕史默阿特的兒子約匝加爾和芍默爾的兒子約匝巴得。他死後，人將他葬在達味城，與祖先埋在一起；他的兒子阿瑪責雅繼位為王。
And Jozabad [the] son of Shimeath and Jehozabad [the] son of Shomer - servants his they struck down him and he died and people buried him with ancestors his in [the] city of David and he became king Amaziah son his in place of him.
