2 Kings 12
1 In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash reigned. And he reigned for forty years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Zebiah from Beersheba.
Jeūs septītā gadā Joas palika par ķēniņu un valdīja četrdesmit gadus Jeruzālemē. Un viņa mātei bija vārds Cibea no Bēršebas.
2 And Jehoash did what was right in the sight of the Lord, during all the days that Jehoiada, the priest, taught him.
Un Joas darīja, kas Tam Kungam labi patika, visu savu mūžu, kamēr priesteris Jojada viņu mācīja.
3 Yet still he did not take away the high places. For the people were still immolating, and burning incense, in the high places.
Tikai kalnu altāri netapa nopostīti; jo tie ļaudis upurēja un kvēpināja vēl uz tiem kalnu altāriem.
4 And Jehoash said to the priests: “All of the money for the holy things, which has been brought into the temple of the Lord from those who pass by, which is offered for the price of a soul, and which they bring into the temple of the Lord willingly, from their own free heart:
Un Joas sacīja uz tiem priesteriem: visu naudu, kas top dota Dievam par godu un nāk Tā Kunga namā, naudu, kas iet uz galvām, visu naudu, ko spriež par dvēseli, un visu naudu, ko dod no labprātības Tā Kunga namā,
5 let the priests, according to their ranks, take and use it in order to repair the surfaces of the house, wherever they see anything in need of repair.”
To priesteriem būs ņemt, ikkatram no sava pazīstama, un tiem būs izlabot tā nama plīsumus visur, kur tie plīsumus atrod.
6 And yet, even until the twenty-third year of king Jehoash, the priests did not repair the surfaces of the temple.
Un notikās ķēniņa Joasa divdesmit un trešā gadā, ka tie priesteri nebija labojuši tā nama plīsumus,
7 And king Jehoash called the high priest, Jehoiada, and the priests, saying to them: “Why have you not repaired the surfaces of the temple? Therefore, you may no longer accept money according to your ranks. Instead, return it in order that the temple may be repaired.”
Tad ķēniņš Joas aicināja priesteri Jojadu un tos citus priesterus un uz tiem sacīja: kāpēc jūs nelabojiet tā nama plīsumus. Un nu jums vairs nebūs ņemt naudu no saviem pazīstamiem, bet to dot priekš tā nama plīsumiem.
8 And so the priests were prohibited from accepting any more money from the people to repair the surfaces of the house.
Tad tie priesteri bija mierā, naudas no ļaudīm vairs neņemt, nedz nama plīsumus izlabot.
9 And the high priest, Jehoiada, took a certain chest, and he opened a hole in the top, and he placed it beside the altar, to the right of those who were entering the house of the Lord. And the priests who kept the doors put all the money in it which was being brought into the temple of the Lord.
Un priesteris Jojada ņēma šķirstu un ieurba tā vākā caurumu, un to lika sānis altārim pa labo roku; kad kāds nāca Tā Kunga namā, tad tie priesteri, kas slieksni sargāja, tur ielika to naudu, ko ienesa Tā Kunga namā.
10 And when they saw that there was a great amount of money in the chest, the scribe of the king and the high priest went up and poured it out. And they counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord.
Kad nu redzēja daudz naudas šķirstā esam, tad ķēniņa skrīveris un augstais priesteris nāca un sasēja un skaitīja to naudu, ko atrada Tā Kunga namā.
11 And they gave it out, by number and measure, to the hands of those who were over the masons of the house of the Lord. And they weighed it out to the carpenters and masons, to those who were working in the house of the Lord
Un tie to naudu ieskaitīja rokā darba uzraugiem, kas bija iecelti pār Tā Kunga namu. Un tie to izdeva amatniekiem un nama būvētājiem, kas pie Tā Kunga nama strādāja,
12 and restoring the surfaces, and to those who were cutting stones, and buying timber and stones to be cut, so that the repairs to the house of the Lord might be finished: for all that was needed toward the expenses in order to strengthen the house.
Un mūrniekiem un akmeņu cirtējiem, pirkt kokus un cirstus akmeņus, izlabot Tā Kunga nama plīsumus un izdot par visu, kas bija vajadzīgs, izlabot Tā Kunga namu.
13 Yet truly, from the same money, they did not make for the temple of the Lord water pitchers, or small hooks, or censers, or trumpets, or any vessel of gold or silver, from the money that was brought into the temple of the Lord.
Bet sudraba kausus, nažus, bļodas, trumetes un visādas zelta un sudraba lietas priekš Tā Kunga nama netaisīja no tās naudas, ko sanesa Tā Kunga namā,
14 For it was given to those who were doing the work, so that the temple of the Lord might be repaired.
Bet tie to deva strādniekiem, izlabot ar to Tā Kunga namu.
15 And they did not ration the money to the men who received it in order to distribute it to the artisans. Instead, they bestowed it with faith.
Un atbildēšanu neprasīja no tiem vīriem, kam tā nauda bija dota, to dot strādniekiem, bet tie to darīja uz ticību.
16 Yet truly, the money for offenses and the money for sins, they did not bring into the temple of the Lord, since it was for the priests.
Nauda no noziegumu upuriem un nauda no grēku upuriem netapa nesta Tā Kunga namā, tā nācās priesteriem.
17 Then Hazael, the king of Syria, ascended and fought against Gath, and he captured it. And he directed his face, so that he might ascend against Jerusalem.
To brīdi Azaēls, Sīriešu ķēniņš, cēlās un karoja pret Gatu un to uzņēma. Un Azaēls griezās iet pret Jeruzālemi.
18 For this reason, Jehoash, the king of Judah, took all the sanctified things, which Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, the kings of Judah, had consecrated and which he himself had offered, and all the silver that could be found in the treasuries of the temple of the Lord and in the palace of the king, and he sent it to Hazael, the king of Syria. And so he withdrew from Jerusalem.
Tad Joas, Jūda ķēniņš, ņēma visas svētās dāvanas, ko viņa tēvi Jehošafats un Jehorams un Ahazija, Jūda ķēniņi, Dievam bija dāvinājuši, ir tās dāvanas, ko viņš pats bija devis, un visu zeltu, kas atradās Tā Kunga namā un pie ķēniņa nama mantām, un to sūtīja Azaēlim, Sīriešu ķēniņam. Tad šis aizgāja no Jeruzālemes.
19 Now the rest of the words of Jehoash, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
Un kas vēl par Joasu stāstāms, un viss, ko viņš darījis, tas ir rakstīts Jūda ķēniņu laiku grāmatā.
20 Then his servants rose up and conspired among themselves. And they struck down Jehoash, at the house of Millo, on the descent of Silla.
Un viņa kalpi cēlās un derēja derību un nokāva Joasu Millus namā, kur iet uz Sillu.
21 For Jozacar, the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died. And they buried him with his fathers in the city of David. And Amaziah, his son, reigned in his place.
Jo Jozakars, Šimeata dēls, un Jozabats, Šomera dēls, viņa kalpi, to nokāva, ka tas nomira; un viņu apraka pie viņa tēviem Dāvida pilī. Un viņa dēls Amacīja palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā.
