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.
Pada tahun ketujuh pemerintahan Yehu atas Israel, Yoas menjadi raja Yehuda. Ia memerintah di Yerusalem 40 tahun lamanya. Ibunya bernama Zibya dari kota Bersyeba.
2 And Jehoash did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, all the days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
Berkat didikan Imam Yoyada, Yoas sepanjang hidupnya melakukan yang menyenangkan hati TUHAN.
3 Only, the high places were not removed: the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
Hanya sayang, tempat penyembahan dewa tidak dimusnahkannya, sehingga rakyat masih mempersembahkan kurban dan membakar kemenyan di situ.
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,
Pada suatu hari Yoas memanggil para imam dan menyuruh mereka menyimpan uang yang diperoleh dari persembahan-persembahan di Rumah TUHAN, baik uang pembayaran penyelenggaraan kurban, maupun uang pemberian sukarela.
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.
Setiap imam harus bertanggung jawab atas uang yang dipersembahkan oleh orang-orang yang dilayaninya. Uang itu akan dipakai untuk memperbaiki kerusakan-kerusakan di Rumah TUHAN.
6 And it was [so that] in the twenty-third year of king Jehoash, the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.
Sampai pada tahun kedua puluh tiga pemerintah Yoas, para imam belum juga memperbaiki kerusakan di Rumah TUHAN.
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.
Karena itu Yoas memanggil Imam Yoyada bersama imam-imam lainnya, dan berkata, "Mengapa kalian belum juga memperbaiki Rumah TUHAN? Mulai hari ini kalian tidak diizinkan menyimpan uang yang kalian terima. Semuanya harus kalian serahkan untuk memperbaiki Rumah TUHAN."
8 And the priests consented to receive no money of the people, and that they should only repair the breaches of the house.
Imam-imam setuju untuk tidak mengumpulkan uang dari rakyat, dan tidak pula bertanggung jawab atas perbaikan Rumah TUHAN.
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.
Maka Yoyada mengambil sebuah kotak dan membuat lubang pada tutupnya, lalu meletakkannya dekat mezbah di sebelah kanan pintu masuk Rumah TUHAN. Semua uang yang dipersembahkan di Rumah TUHAN dimasukkan ke dalam kotak itu oleh imam-imam yang bertugas di pintu masuk.
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.
Setiap kali bila uang di dalam kotak itu sudah banyak, sekretaris raja bersama Imam Agung datang dan menghitung uang itu, lalu membungkusnya.
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,
Setelah jumlahnya dicatat, uang itu diserahkan kepada para pengawas pekerjaan perbaikan di Rumah TUHAN. Selanjutnya para pengawas itu membayar para tukang kayu, tukang bangunan,
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.
tukang batu dan pemahat batu. Para pengawas itu juga yang membeli kayu dan batu, serta mengatur semua pengeluaran untuk perbaikan itu.
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;
Tetapi uang itu sedikit pun tidak dipakai untuk pembuatan cangkir-cangkir perak, mangkuk, trompet, alat-alat pelita atau perkakas lainnya dari emas atau perak.
14 but they gave that to the workmen, and repaired the house of Jehovah with it.
Semuanya dibayarkan kepada tukang-tukang dan dibelikan bahan-bahan bangunan yang diperlukan.
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.
Para pengawas pekerjaan itu jujur sekali, jadi tak perlu diminta laporan keuangan dari mereka.
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.
Uang dari kurban ganti rugi dan dari kurban pengampunan dosa tidak dimasukkan ke dalam kotak itu. Uang itu diberikan kepada imam-imam.
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.
Pada masa itu Hazael raja Siria menyerang dan menduduki kota Gat. Lalu ia berniat menyerang Yerusalem juga.
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.
Maka Yoas mengirim kepadanya uang tebusan. Uang itu diperolehnya dari semua persembahan yang dahulu telah diserahkan kepada TUHAN oleh Yoas sendiri, dan oleh Yosafat, Yoram serta Ahazia, yaitu raja-raja yang memerintah sebelum dia. Juga dari semua emas dalam kas Rumah TUHAN dan istana raja. Maka Hazael tidak jadi menyerang Yerusalem.
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?
Kemudian pegawai-pegawai kerajaan Yehuda berkomplot melawan Raja Yoas. Dua orang dari antara mereka, yaitu Yozakar anak Simeat, dan Yozabad anak Somer, membunuh Yoas di sebuah rumah yang dibangun di atas tanah timbunan sebelah timur Yerusalem, di jalan turun ke Sila. Yoas dikubur di pekuburan raja-raja di Kota Daud. Amazia anaknya menjadi raja menggantikan dia. Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Yoas dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Yehuda.
20 And his servants rose up and made a conspiracy, and smote Joash in the house of Millo, at the descent of 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.
