Chronicles II 24
1 Joas was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Sabia of Bersabee.
Yoas berumur tujuh tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja, dan empat puluh tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Zibya, dari Bersyeba.
2 And Joas did that which right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jodae the priest.
Yoas melakukan apa yang benar di mata TUHAN selama hidup imam Yoyada.
3 And Jodae took to himself two wives, and they bore sons and daughters.
Yoyada mengambil dua orang isteri bagi dia; dari mereka ia mendapat anak laki-laki dan anak perempuan.
4 And it came to pass afterward that it came into the heart of Joas to repair the house of the Lord.
Kemudian Yoas bermaksud untuk membaharui rumah TUHAN.
5 And he gathered the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out into the cities of Juda, and collect money of all Israel to repair the house of the Lord from year to year, and make haste to speak [of it]. But the Levites hasted not.
Ia mengumpulkan para imam dan orang Lewi dan berkata kepada mereka: "Pergilah kamu ke kota-kota Yehuda dan kumpulkanlah uang dari seluruh orang Israel untuk memperbaiki rumah Allahmu setiap tahun. Lakukanlah hal itu dengan segera!" Tetapi orang Lewi itu tidak melakukannya dengan segera.
6 And king Joas called Jodae the chief, and said to him, Why have you not looked after the Levites, so that they should bring from Juda and Jerusalem that which was prescribed by Moses the man of God, when he assembled Israel at the tabernacle of witness?
Lalu raja memanggil imam kepala Yoyada dan bertanya kepadanya: "Mengapa engkau tidak menuntut kepada orang-orang Lewi untuk membawa dari Yehuda dan dari Yerusalem pajak yang dikenakan Musa, hamba Allah itu, kepada jemaah Israel untuk Kemah tempat hukum Allah?
7 For Gotholia was a transgressor, and her sons tore down the house of God; for they offered the holy things of the house of the Lord to Baalim.
Sebab anak-anak Atalya, perempuan fasik itu, telah membongkar rumah Allah, bahkan memakai barang-barang kudus rumah TUHAN untuk para Baal."
8 And the king said, Let a box be made, and let it be put at the gate of the house of the Lord without.
Sesudah itu raja memerintahkan supaya dibuat sebuah peti dan ditempatkan di depan pintu gerbang rumah TUHAN,
9 And let [men] proclaim in Juda an in Jerusalem, that [the people] should bring to the Lord, as Moses the servant of God spoke concerning Israel in the wilderness.
lalu menyuruh mengumumkan di Yehuda dan di Yerusalem, bahwa orang harus membawa bagi TUHAN pajak yang dikenakan Musa, hamba Allah itu, kepada orang Israel di padang gurun.
10 And all the princes and all the people gave, and brought in, and cast into the box until it was filled.
Maka bersukacitalah semua pemimpin dan seluruh rakyat; mereka datang membawa pajaknya dan memasukkannya ke dalam peti itu sampai penuh.
11 And it came to pass, when they brought in the box to the officers of the king by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that the money was more than sufficient, then came the king's scribe, and the officer of the high priest, and emptied the box, and restored it to its place. Thus they did day by day, and collected much money.
Setiap kali peti itu dibawa masuk untuk diperiksa oleh orang-orang Lewi atas nama raja, dan apabila mereka melihat bahwa sudah banyak uang di dalamnya, maka datanglah panitera raja dan kuasa usaha imam kepala mengeluarkan isi peti itu; kemudian mereka mengangkat peti itu, lalu menaruhnya pula di tempatnya. Demikianlah mereka lakukan setiap kali, dan banyaklah uang yang dikumpulkan.
12 And the king and Jodae the priest gave it to the workmen employed in the service of the house of the Lord, and they hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the Lord, also smiths and braziers to repair the house of the Lord.
Raja dan Yoyada menyerahkan uang itu kepada mereka yang memanduri pekerjaan pada rumah TUHAN. Mereka ini mengupah tukang-tukang pahat dan tukang-tukang kayu untuk membaharui rumah TUHAN; juga tukang-tukang besi dan tembaga untuk memperbaiki rumah TUHAN.
13 And the workmen wrought, and the works prospered in their hands, and they established the house of the Lord on its foundation, and strengthened [it].
Setelah itu mulailah tukang-tukang itu bekerja; pekerjaan perbaikan maju di bawah tangan mereka. Mereka membangun kembali rumah Allah menurut keadaannya semula dan mengokohkannya.
14 And when they had finished [it], they brought to the king and to Jodae the remainder of the money, and they made vessels for the house of the Lord, vessels of service for whole burnt offerings, and gold and silver [censers]: and they offered up whole burnt offerings in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Jodae.
Setelah mereka selesai, mereka membawa uang yang kelebihan kepada raja dan Yoyada. Uang itu dipakai untuk membuat perkakas-perkakas rumah TUHAN, yakni: perkakas-perkakas untuk penyelenggaraan kebaktian, perkakas-perkakas untuk korban bakaran, juga cawan-cawan dan perkakas-perkakas emas dan perak. Sepanjang umur Yoyada korban bakaran tetap dipersembahkan dalam rumah TUHAN.
15 And Jodae grew old, being full of days, and he died, being a hundred and thirty years old at his death.
Yoyada menjadi tua, dan lanjut umur, lalu matilah ia. Seratus tiga puluh tahun umurnya ketika ia mati.
16 And they buried him with the kings in the city of David, because he had dealt well with Israel, and with God and his house.
Ia dikuburkan di kota Daud di samping raja-raja, karena perbuatan-perbuat yang baik di Israel terhadap Allah dan rumah-Nya.
17 And it came to pass after the death of Jodae, [that] the princes of Juda went in, and did obeisance to the king. Then the king listened to them.
Sesudah Yoyada mati, pemimpin-pemimpin Yehuda datang menyembah kepada raja. Sejak itu raja mendengarkan mereka.
18 And they forsook the house of the Lord God of their fathers, and served the Astartes and idols: and there was wrath upon Juda and Jerusalem in that day.
Mereka meninggalkan rumah TUHAN, Allah nenek moyang mereka, lalu beribadah kepada tiang-tiang berhala dan patung-patung berhala. Oleh karena kesalahan itu Yehuda dan Yerusalem tertimpa murka.
19 yet he sent prophets to them, to turn them to the Lord; but they listened not: and he testified to them, but they obeyed not.
Namun TUHAN mengutus nabi-nabi kepada mereka, supaya mereka berbalik kepada-Nya. Nabi-nabi itu sungguh-sungguh memperingatkan mereka, tetapi mereka tidak mau mendengarkannya.
20 And the Spirit of God came upon Azarias the son of Jodae the priest, and he stood up above the people, and said, Thus says the Lord, Why do you transgress the commandments of the Lord? so shall you not prosper; for you have forsaken the Lord, and he will forsake you.
Lalu Roh Allah menguasai Zakharia, anak imam Yoyada. Ia tampil di depan rakyat, dan berkata kepada mereka: "Beginilah firman Allah: Mengapa kamu melanggar perintah-perintah TUHAN, sehingga kamu tidak beruntung? Oleh karena kamu meninggalkan TUHAN, Iapun meninggalkan kamu!"
21 And they conspired against him, and stone him by command of king Joas in the court of the Lord's house.
Tetapi mereka mengadakan persepakatan terhadap dia, dan atas perintah raja mereka melontari dia dengan batu di pelataran rumah TUHAN.
22 So Joas remembered not the kindness which his father Jodae had exercised towards him, but killed his son. And as he died, he said, The Lord look upon [it], and judge.
Raja Yoas tidak mengingat kesetiaan yang ditunjukkan Yoyada, ayah Zakharia itu, terhadap dirinya. Ia membunuh anak Yoyada itu, yang pada saat kematiannya berseru: "Semoga TUHAN melihatnya dan menuntut balas!"
23 And it came to pass after the end of the year, [that] the host of Syria went up against him, and came against Juda and Jerusalem: and they killed all the chiefs of the people among the people, and all their spoils they sent to the king of Damascus.
Pada pergantian tahun tentara Aram maju menyerang Yoas dan masuk ke Yehuda dan Yerusalem. Dari bangsa itu semua pemimpin habis dibunuh mereka dan segala jarahan dikirim mereka kepada raja negeri Damsyik.
24 For the army of Syria came with few men, yet God gave into their hands a very large army, because they had forsaken the God of their fathers; and he brought judgments on Joas.
Walaupun tentara Aram itu datang dengan sedikit orang, namun TUHAN menyerahkan tentara yang sangat besar kepada mereka, karena orang Yehuda telah meninggalkan TUHAN, Allah nenek moyang mereka. Demikianlah orang Aram melakukan penghukuman kepada Yoas.
25 And after they had departed from him, when they had left him in sore diseases, then his servants conspired against him because of the blood of the son of Jodae the priest, and killed him on his bed, and he died, and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchre of the kings.
Ketika mereka pergi dari padanya, --mereka meninggalkannya dengan luka-luka berat--pegawai-pegawainya mengadakan persepakatan terhadap dia karena darah anak imam Yoyada itu, lalu membunuhnya di atas tempat tidurnya. Ia mati dan dikuburkan di kota Daud, tetapi tidak di pekuburan raja-raja.
26 And they that conspired against him were Zabed the son of Samaath the Ammanite, and Jozabed the son of Samareth the Moabite.
Mereka yang mengadakan persepakatan terhadap dia ialah: Zabad, anak Simeat perempuan Amon, dan Yozabad, anak Simrit perempuan Moab.
27 And all his sons, and the five came to him: and the other [matters], behold, they are written in the book of the kings. And Amasias his son reigned in his stead.
Tentang anak-anaknya dan ucapan-ucapan ilahi yang banyak terhadap dia, serta tentang perbaikan rumah Allah, semua itu tertulis dalam tafsiran kitab raja-raja. Maka Amazia, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
