2 Chronicles 24
1 Joash was seven when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for forty years. His mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
Joas bija septiņus gadus vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu, un valdīja četrdesmit gadus Jeruzālemē, un viņa mātei bija vārds Cibea, no Bēršebas.
2 Joash did what was right in the Lord's sight during the lifetime of Jehoiada the priest.
Un Joas darīja, kas Tam Kungam labi patika, kamēr priesteris Jojada dzīvoja.
3 Jehoiada arranged for him to marry two wives, and he had sons and daughters.
Un Jojada tam ņēma divas sievas, un tās dzemdināja dēlus un meitas.
4 Some time later, Joash decided to repair the Lord's Temple.
Pēc tam Joas apņēmās savā sirdī, atjaunot Tā Kunga namu.
5 He summoned the priests and Levites and told them, “Go to the towns of Judah and collect the yearly dues from everyone in Israel to repair the Temple of your God. Do it right away.” But the Levites did not go right away.
Un viņš sapulcināja priesterus un Levitus un uz tiem sacīja: izejiet Jūda pilsētās un sakrājiet naudu no visa Israēla, atkal apkopt sava Dieva namu gadu no gada; un steidzaties ar šo lietu. Bet Leviti nesteidzās.
6 So the king called for Jehoiada the high priest and asked him, “Why haven't you ordered the Levites to collect from Judah and Jerusalem the tax that Moses, the Lord's servant, and the assembly of Israel imposed to maintain the Tent of the Law?”
Un ķēniņš aicināja augsto priesteri Jojadu, un uz to sacīja: kāpēc tu neesi raudzījis uz Levitiem, ka tiem no Jūda un Jeruzālemes bija sakrāt to meslu naudu, ko Mozus, Tā Kunga kalps, nospriedis, ka Israēla draudzei jādod priekš saiešanas telts?
7 (The supporters of that wicked woman Athaliah had broken into God's Temple and had stolen the holy objects of the Lord's Temple and used them to worship the Baals.)
Jo bezdievīgā Atalija un viņas dēli Dieva namu postījuši, un visas svētās dāvanas no Tā Kunga nama izlietojuši Baāliem.
8 The king ordered a collection chest to be made and placed outside the entrance to the Lord's Temple.
Tad ķēniņš pavēlēja taisīt šķirstu, un to likt ārā pie Tā Kunga nama vārtiem.
9 A decree was proclaimed throughout Judea and Jerusalem to bring to the Lord the tax that Moses, the Lord's servant, imposed on Israel in the wilderness.
Un Jūdā un Jeruzālemē izsauca, lai Tam Kungam atnes meslu naudu, ko Mozus, tas Dieva kalps, Israēlim tuksnesi bija nospriedis.
10 All the leaders and all the people were glad to do so and brought their taxes. They dropped them in the chest until it was full.
Tad visi lielkungi un visi ļaudis priecājās un atnesa un iemeta tai šķirstā, kamēr tas tapa pilns.
11 Every so often the Levites took the chest to the king's officials. When they saw that it contained a large amount of money, the king's secretary and the chief officer of the high priest would come and empty the chest. Then they would carry it back to its place. They did this every day and collected a great deal of money.
Kad nu bija laiks, Levitiem šķirstu atnest pie ķēniņa celtiem uzraugiem, un kad redzēja, ka daudz naudas bija iekšā, tad ķēniņa skrīveris, un augstā priestera uzraugs, nāca un iztukšoja to šķirstu, un to ņēma un atkal nonesa savā vietā; tā tie darīja ikdienas un sakrāja daudz naudas.
12 Then the king and Jehoiada would allocate the money of those supervising the work on the Lord's Temple to hire stonecutters and carpenters to restore the Lord's Temple and craftsmen in iron and bronze to repair the Lord's Temple.
Un ķēniņš un Jojada to deva tiem darba vedējiem pie Tā Kunga nama darba, un tie saderēja akmeņu cirtējus un amatniekus, Tā Kunga namu atjaunot, arī dzelzs un vara kalējus, atkal uzkopt Tā Kunga namu.
13 The men doing the repairs worked hard and made good progress. They restored God's Temple to its original condition and strengthened it.
Un tie strādnieki darīja savu darbu un darbs veicās caur viņu roku, un tie Dieva namu atkal iztaisīja pareizi un to uzkopa.
14 When they finished, they returned the money that was left to the king and Jehoiada, and with it utensils were made for the Lord's Temple, both for the worship services and for the burnt offerings, also bowls for incense and vessels of gold and silver. Burnt offerings were regularly offered in the Lord's Temple regularly throughout Jehoiada's lifetime.
Kad tie to nu bija pabeiguši, tad tie atnesa atlikušo naudu pie ķēniņa un Jojadas, un par to lika rīkus taisīt Tā Kunga namam, rīkus kalpošanai un upurēšanai un bļodas un zelta un sudraba traukus; un tie upurēja vienmēr dedzināmos upurus Tā Kunga namā, kamēr Jojada dzīvoja.
15 Jehoiada grew old and died at the age of 130, having lived a full life.
Un Jojada palika vecs un bija savu laiku nodzīvojis un nomira; simts un trīsdesmit gadus viņš bija vecs, kad nomira.
16 He was buried with the kings in the City of David, for all the good he had done in Israel for God and his Temple.
Un to apraka Dāvida pilī pie ķēniņiem, jo viņš Israēlim bija labu darījis, ir Dievam, ir viņa namam.
17 But after the death of Jehoiada, the leaders of Judah came to swear their loyalty to the king, and he listened to their advice.
Bet kad Jojada bija nomiris, tad Jūda lielkungi nāca un metās zemē ķēniņa priekšā; un ķēniņš uz tiem klausījās.
18 They abandoned the Temple of the Lord, the God of their forefathers, and worshiped Asherah poles and idols. Judah and Jerusalem were punished because of their sin.
Un tie atstāja Tā Kunga, savu tēvu Dieva, namu, un kalpoja Ašerām un elkiem. Tad dusmība nāca pār Jūdu un Jeruzālemi šā viņu nozieguma dēļ.
19 The Lord sent prophets to bring the people back to him and to warn them; but they refused to listen.
Un viņš tiem sūtīja praviešus, tos atkal atgriezt pie Tā Kunga, un tie gan deva liecību pret viņiem, bet šie savas ausis neatvēra.
20 Then the Spirit of God came to Zechariah, son of Jehoiada the priest. He stood before the people and told them, “This is what God says: ‘Why do you break the Lord's commandments so that you cannot be successful? Since you have abandoned the Lord, he has abandoned you.’”
Bet Tā Kunga Gars nāca uz Zahariju, priestera Jojadas dēlu. Tas uzkāpa kādā augstā vietā ļaužu priekšā un uz tiem sacīja: tā Dievs saka: kāpēc jūs pārkāpjat Tā Kunga baušļus? Tas jums nebūs par labu! Jūs To Kungu esat atstājuši, Viņš jūs arīdzan atstās.
21 Then the leaders hatched a plot to kill Zechariah, and on the orders of the king they stoned him to death in the courtyard of the Lord's Temple.
Un tie cēlās pret viņu un to nomētāja akmeņiem pēc ķēniņa pavēles Tā Kunga nama pagalmā.
22 King Joash showed he had forgotten all about the loyalty and love shown to him by Jehoiada, Zechariah's father, by killing his son. As he died, Zechariah cried out, “May the Lord see what you've done and pay you back!”
Tā ķēniņš Joas nepieminēja to žēlastību, ko viņa tēvs Jojada tam bija parādījis, bet nokāva viņa dēlu. Un mirdams tas sacīja: Tas Kungs to redzēs un piemeklēs.
23 At the end of the year, the Aramean army came to attack Joash. They invaded Judah and Jerusalem and killed all the people's leaders, and sent all their plunder back to the king of Damascus.
Kad nu gads bija pagājis, tad Sīriešu kara spēks cēlās pret viņu; un tie nāca pret Jūdu un Jeruzālemi un nogalināja no tiem ļaudīm visus ļaužu virsniekus, un sūtīja visu savu laupījumu Damaskus ķēniņam.
24 Even though the Aramean army had come with only a few men, the Lord gave them the victory over a very large army, because Judah had abandoned the Lord, the God of their forefathers. In this way they punished Joash.
Un jebšu Sīriešu spēks mazā pulkā atnāca, taču Tas Kungs tiem nodeva rokā ļoti lielu kara spēku, tāpēc ka šie bija atstājuši To Kungu, savu tēvu Dievu; un Joasu tie sodīja.
25 When the Arameans departed, they left Joash badly wounded. But then his own officers plotted against him for murdering the son of Jehoiada the priest, and they killed him in his bed. He was buried in the City of David, but not in the cemetery of the kings.
Un kad šie no viņa atkal aizgāja, (jo šie viņu pameta ļoti ievainotu, ) tad viņa kalpi pret viņu sacēlās priestera Jojadas bērnu asiņu dēļ, un to nokāva viņa gultā, ka tas nomira. Un to apraka Dāvida pilī, bet ķēniņa kapos to neraka.
26 Those who plotted against him were Zabad, son of Shimeath, an Ammonite woman, and Jehozabad, son of Shimrith, a Moabite woman.
Un šie ir, kas pret viņu bija sacēlušies: Zabads, Amonietes Zimeatas dēls, un Jozabads, Moabietes Zimrites dēls.
27 The story of the sons of Joash, as well as the many prophecies about him and about the restoration of God's Temple, are recorded in the Commentary on the Book of the Kings. His son Amaziah took over as king.
Bet viņa dēli un viņa meslu-naudas krājums un Dieva nama uzkopšana, redzi, tas viss rakstīts ķēniņu grāmatas rakstos. Un viņa dēls Amacīja palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā.
