2 Kings 12
1 In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash began to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.
I Jehus syvende Aar blev Joas Konge og regerede fyrretyve Aar i Jerusalem, og hans Moders Navn var Zibja fra Beersaba.
2 And Jehoash did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, all the days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
Og Joas gjorde det, som ret var for Herrens Øjne, alle sine Dage, i hvilke Jojada, Præsten, vejledede ham.
3 Only, the high places were not removed: the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
Dog bleve Højene ikke borttagne; Folket ofrede og gjorde Røgelse endnu paa Højene.
4 And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the hallowed things that is brought into the house of Jehovah, the money of every one that passes [the account], the money at which every man is valued, [and] all the money that comes into any man's heart to bring into the house of Jehovah,
Og Joas sagde til Præsterne: Alle Penge for de Ting, som helliges, som bringes til Herrens Hus, nemlig Penge for hver, som gaar over i Mandtallet, Penge, som de give for Personer, hver efter sin Vurdering, alle Penge, som hver Mand ofrer af et frivilligt Hjerte for at bringe dem til Herrens Hus,
5 let the priests take it, every man of his acquaintance; and let them repair the breaches of the house, wherever any breach is found.
dem skulle Præsterne modtage, hver af sin Kynding, og de skulle istandsætte Husets Brøst, nemlig alt det, som findes der brøstfældigt.
6 And it was [so that] in the twenty-third year of king Jehoash, the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.
Men i Kong Joas's tre og tyvende Aar havde Præsterne endnu ikke istandsat det, som var brøstfældigt i Huset.
7 Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the priests, and said to them, Why have ye not repaired the breaches of the house? And now receive no money of your acquaintances, but give it for the breaches of the house.
Da kaldte Kong Joas ad Jojada, Præsten, og de andre Præster og sagde til dem: Hvi istandsætte I ikke det, som er brøstfældigt i Huset? nu vel, modtager ikke Penge af eders Kyndinger, men afgiver dem til det, som er brøstfældigt i Huset.
8 And the priests consented to receive no money of the people, and that they should only repair the breaches of the house.
Og Præsterne samtykkede deri, saa at de ikke modtoge Penge af Folket og ikke istandsatte det, som var brøstfældigt i Huset.
9 And Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of Jehovah; and the priests that kept the door put into it all the money brought into the house of Jehovah.
Men Jojada, Præsten, tog en Kiste og borede et Hul i Laaget derpaa og satte den ved den højre Side af Alteret, hvor man gaar ind i Herrens Hus, og Præsterne, som toge Vare paa Dørtærskelen, lagde deri alle Penge, som bleve bragte til Herrens Hus.
10 And it came to pass when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they tied up and counted the money that was found in the house of Jehovah.
Og det skete, naar de saa, at der var mange Penge i Kisten, da kom Kongens Skriver og Ypperstepræsten op, og de sammenbandt og talte Pengene, som fandtes i Herrens Hus.
11 And they gave the money, weighed out into the hands of them that did the work, who were appointed over the house of Jehovah; and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders that wrought upon the house of Jehovah,
Og de gave Pengene, som vare aftalte, i deres Hænder, som havde med Gerningen at gøre, og som vare beskikkede over Herrens Hus; og de gave dem ud til Tømmermændene og til Bygningsmændene, som arbejdede paa Herrens Hus,
12 and to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the breaches of the house of Jehovah, and for all that had to be laid out on the house for repairs.
og til Murmestere og Stenhuggere og til at købe Træ og hugne Sten til at istandsætte det, som var brøstfældigt paa Herrens Hus, ja til alt det, som gik med til Husets Istandsættelse.
13 However there were not made for the house of Jehovah basons of silver, knives, bowls, trumpets, nor any utensil of gold or utensil of silver, of the money that was brought [into] the house of Jehovah;
Dog blev der ikke gjort Sølvbækkener, Knive, Skaaler, Basuner eller noget Kar af Guld eller Kar af Sølv til Herrens Hus for de Penge, som bragtes til Herrens Hus.
14 but they gave that to the workmen, and repaired the house of Jehovah with it.
Men de gave dem til dem, som havde med Gerningen at gøre, og de istandsatte Herrens Hus for dem.
15 And they did not reckon with the men into whose hand they gave the money to be bestowed on workmen; for they dealt faithfully.
Og de holdt ikke Regnskab med Mændene, i hvis Haand de overgave Pengene, for at give dem til dem, som gjorde Gerningen; thi de handlede med Troskab.
16 The money of trespass-offerings, and the money of sin-offerings, was not brought into the house of Jehovah: it was for the priests.
Men Pengene for Skyldofferet og Pengene for Syndofferet bleve ikke bragte til Herrens Hus, de hørte Præsterne til.
17 Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it. And Hazael set his face to go up against Jerusalem.
Da drog Hasael, Kongen af Syrien, op og stred imod Gath og indtog den, og Hasael rettede sit Ansigt til at drage op imod Jerusalem.
18 And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold found in the treasures of the house of Jehovah and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria; and he went away from Jerusalem.
Da tog Joas, Judas Konge, alle de hellige Ting, som Josafat og Joram og Ahasia, hans Fædre, Judas Konger, havde helliget, og hvad han selv havde helliget, dertil alt det Guld, som man fandt i Herrens Hus's og i Kongens Hus's Skatkamre, og sendte det til Hasael, Kongen af Syrien; og denne drog da bort fra Jerusalem.
19 And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Men det øvrige af Joas's Handeler, og alt det, som han gjorde, ere de Ting ikke skrevne i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog?
20 And his servants rose up and made a conspiracy, and smote Joash in the house of Millo, at the descent of Silla.
Og hans Tjenere rejste sig og indgik et Forbund, og de ihjelsloge Joas i Millos Hus, hvor man gaar ned til Silla:
21 And Jozachar the son of Shimeath and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
Nemlig Josakar, Simeaths Søn, og Josabad, Somers Søn, hans Tjenere, sloge ham ihjel, og han døde; og de begravede ham hos hans Fædre i Davids Stad, og Amazia, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.
