列王纪下 12
1 耶户第七年，约阿施登基，在耶路撒冷作王四十年。他母亲名叫西比亚，是别是巴人。
In the seventh year of Jehu reigned hath Jehoash, and forty years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Zibiah of Beer-Sheba,
2 约阿施在祭司耶何耶大教训他的时候，就行耶和华眼中看为正的事；
and Jehoash doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah all his days in which Jehoiada the priest directed him,
3 只是邱坛还没有废去，百姓仍在那里献祭烧香。
only, the high places have not turned aside, still are the people sacrificing and making perfume in high places.
4 约阿施对众祭司说：“凡奉到耶和华殿分别为圣之物所值通用的银子，或各人当纳的身价，或乐意奉到耶和华殿的银子，
And Jehoash saith unto the priests, 'All the money of the sanctified things that is brought in to the house of Jehovah, the money of him who is passing over, each the money of his valuation, all the money that it goeth up on the heart of a man to bring in to the house of Jehovah,
5 你们当从所认识的人收了来，修理殿的一切破坏之处。”
do the priests take to them, each from his acquaintance, and they strengthen the breach of the house, in all [places] where there is found a breach.'
6 无奈到了约阿施王二十三年，祭司仍未修理殿的破坏之处。
And it cometh to pass, in the twenty and third year of king Jehoash, the priests have not strengthened the breach of the house,
7 所以约阿施王召了大祭司耶何耶大和众祭司来，对他们说：“你们怎么不修理殿的破坏之处呢？从今以后，你们不要从所认识的人再收银子，要将所收的交出来，修理殿的破坏之处。”
and king Jehoash calleth to Jehoiada the priest, and to the priests, and saith unto them, 'Wherefore are ye not strengthening the breach of the house? and now, receive no money from your acquaintances, but for the breach of the house give it.'
8 众祭司答应不再收百姓的银子，也不修理殿的破坏之处。
And the priests consent not to receive money from the people, nor to strengthen the breach of the house,
9 祭司耶何耶大取了一个柜子，在柜盖上钻了一个窟窿，放于坛旁，在进耶和华殿的右边；守门的祭司将奉到耶和华殿的一切银子投在柜里。
and Jehoiada the priest taketh a chest, and pierceth a hole in its lid, and putteth it near the altar, on the right side, as one cometh in to the house of Jehovah, and the priests keeping the threshold have put there all the money that is brought in to the house of Jehovah.
10 他们见柜里的银子多了，便叫王的书记和大祭司上来，将耶和华殿里的银子数算包起来。
And it cometh to pass, at their seeing that the money [is] abundant in the chest, that there goeth up a scribe of the king, and of the high priest, and they bind [it] up, and count the money that is found [in] the house of Jehovah,
11 把所平的银子交给督工的，就是耶和华殿里办事的人；他们把银子转交修理耶和华殿的木匠和工人，
and have given the weighed money into the hands of those doing the work, those inspecting the house of Jehovah, and they bring it out to those working in the wood, and to builders who are working in the house of Jehovah,
12 并瓦匠、石匠，又买木料和凿成的石头，修理耶和华殿的破坏之处，以及修理殿的各样使用。
and to those [repairing] the wall, and to hewers of stone, and to buy wood and hewn stones to strengthen the breach of the house of Jehovah, and for all that goeth out on the house, to strengthen it.
13 但那奉到耶和华殿的银子，没有用以做耶和华殿里的银杯、蜡剪、碗、号，和别样的金银器皿，
Only, there is not made for the house of Jehovah basins of silver, snuffers, bowls, trumpets, any vessel of gold, and vessel of silver, out of the money that is brought into the house of Jehovah;
14 乃将那银子交给督工的人修理耶和华的殿；
for to those doing the work they give it, and they have strengthened with it the house of Jehovah,
15 且将银子交给办事的人转交做工的人，不与他们算账，因为他们办事诚实。
and they do not reckon with the men into whose hand they give the money to give to those doing the work, for in faithfulness they are dealing.
16 惟有赎愆祭、赎罪祭的银子没有奉到耶和华的殿，都归祭司。
The money of a trespass-offering, and the money of sin-offerings is not brought in to the house of Jehovah — for the priests it is.
17 那时，亚兰王哈薛上来攻打迦 特，攻取了，就定意上来攻打耶路撒冷。
Then go up doth Hazael king of Aram, and fighteth against Gath, and captureth it, and Hazael setteth his face to go up against Jerusalem;
18 犹大王约阿施将他列祖犹大王约沙法、约兰、亚哈谢所分别为圣的物和自己所分别为圣的物，并耶和华殿与王宫府库里所有的金子都送给亚兰王哈薛；哈薛就不上耶路撒冷来了。
and Jehoash king of Judah taketh all the sanctified things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had sanctified, and his own sanctified things, and all the gold that is found in the treasures of the house of Jehovah and of the house of the king, and sendeth to Hazael king of Aram, and he goeth up from off Jerusalem.
19 约阿施其余的事，凡他所行的都写在犹大列王记上。
And the rest of the matters of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
20 约阿施的臣仆起来背叛，在下悉拉的米罗宫那里将他杀了。
And his servants rise, and make a conspiracy, and smite Joash in the house of Millo, that is going down to Silla:
21 杀他的那臣仆就是示米押的儿子约撒甲和朔默的儿子约萨拔。众人将他葬在大卫城他列祖的坟地里。他儿子亚玛谢接续他作王。
yea, Jozachar son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad son of Shemer, his servants, have smitten him, and he dieth, and they bury him with his fathers in the city of David, and reign doth Amaziah his son, in his stead.
