< 2 Chronicles 24 >
1 Joash was seven years old when he began to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.
Joas bija septiņus gadus vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu, un valdīja četrdesmit gadus Jeruzālemē, un viņa mātei bija vārds Cibea, no Bēršebas.
2 And Joash did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
Un Joas darīja, kas Tam Kungam labi patika, kamēr priesteris Jojada dzīvoja.
3 And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters.
Un Jojada tam ņēma divas sievas, un tās dzemdināja dēlus un meitas.
4 And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to restore the house of the LORD.
Pēc tam Joas apņēmās savā sirdī, atjaunot Tā Kunga namu.
5 And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it not.
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 And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tax of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tent of the testimony?
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 For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD did they bestow upon the Baalim.
Jo bezdievīgā Atalija un viņas dēli Dieva namu postījuši, un visas svētās dāvanas no Tā Kunga nama izlietojuši Baāliem.
8 So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD.
Tad ķēniņš pavēlēja taisīt šķirstu, un to likt ārā pie Tā Kunga nama vārtiem.
9 And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for the LORD the tax that Moses the servant of God laid upon 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 And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.
Tad visi lielkungi un visi ļaudis priecājās un atnesa un iemeta tai šķirstā, kamēr tas tapa pilns.
11 And it was so, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king’s office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king’s scribe and the chief priest’s officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
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 And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the LORD; and they hired masons and carpenters to restore the house of the LORD, and also such as wrought iron and brass to repair the house of the LORD.
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 So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set up the house of God in its state, 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 And when they had made an end, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of the LORD, even vessels to minister, and to offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.
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 But Jehoiada waxed old and was full of days, and he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.
Un Jojada palika vecs un bija savu laiku nodzīvojis un nomira; simts un trīsdesmit gadus viņš bija vecs, kad nomira.
16 And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house.
Un to apraka Dāvida pilī pie ķēniņiem, jo viņš Israēlim bija labu darījis, ir Dievam, ir viņa namam.
17 Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them.
Bet kad Jojada bija nomiris, tad Jūda lielkungi nāca un metās zemē ķēniņa priekšā; un ķēniņš uz tiem klausījās.
18 And they forsook the house of the LORD, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherim and the idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness.
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 Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.
Un viņš tiem sūtīja praviešus, tos atkal atgriezt pie Tā Kunga, un tie gan deva liecību pret viņiem, bet šie savas ausis neatvēra.
20 And the spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken 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 And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the LORD.
Un tie cēlās pret viņu un to nomētāja akmeņiem pēc ķēniņa pavēles Tā Kunga nama pagalmā.
22 Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The LORD look upon it, and require it.
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 And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the army of the Syrians came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto 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 For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men; and the LORD delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers. So they executed judgment upon 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 And when they were departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases, ) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres 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 And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
Un šie ir, kas pret viņu bija sacēlušies: Zabads, Amonietes Zimeatas dēls, un Jozabads, Moabietes Zimrites dēls.
27 Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens [laid] upon him, and the rebuilding of the house of God, behold, they are written in the commentary of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
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.
