2 Chronicles 24
1 [was] a son of Seven years Joash when became king he and forty year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his [was] Zibiah from Beer Sheba.
Joas var syv år gammel da han blev konge, og regjerte firti år i Jerusalem; hans mor hette Sibja og var fra Be'erseba.
2 And he did Joash the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh all [the] days of Jehoiada the priest.
Joas gjorde hvad rett var i Herrens øine, så lenge presten Jojada levde.
3 And he took for him Jehoiada wives two and he fathered sons and daughters.
Jojada lot ham få to hustruer, og han fikk sønner og døtre.
4 And it was after this it was with [the] heart of Joash to renew [the] house of Yahweh.
Siden fikk Joas i sinne å sette Herrens hus i stand.
5 And he assembled the priests and the Levites and he said to them go out to [the] cities of Judah and collect from all Israel money to repair - [the] house of God your as often as a year in a year and you you will do quickly the matter and not they acted quickly the Levites.
Og han samlet prestene og levittene og sa til dem: Dra ut til byene i Juda og samle inn penger fra hele Israel til å utbedre eders Guds hus efter som det trenges fra år til år, og skynd eder med å gjøre dette! Men levittene skyndte sig ikke dermed.
6 And he summoned the king Jehoiada the chief and he said to him why? not have you required on the Levites to bring from Judah and from Jerusalem [the] tax of Moses [the] servant of Yahweh and of the assembly of Israel to [the] tent of the testimony.
Da kalte kongen til sig ypperstepresten Jojada og sa til ham: Hvorfor har du ikke sett efter at levittene kommer med den avgift fra Juda og fra Jerusalem som er pålagt av Herrens tjener Moses, og som Israels menighet skal utrede til vidnesbyrdets telt?
7 For Athaliah the wickedness sons her they had broken into [the] house of God and also all [the] holy things of [the] house of Yahweh they had used for the Baals.
For den ugudelige Ataljas sønner har ødelagt Guds hus, og endog alle de hellige ting i Herrens hus har de brukt til Ba'alene.
8 And he said the king and they made a chest one and they put it at [the] gate of [the] house of Yahweh [the] outside towards.
Så bød kongen at de skulde gjøre en kiste og sette den utenfor porten til Herrens hus.
9 And they made a proclamation in Judah and in Jerusalem to bring to Yahweh [the] tax of Moses [the] servant of God on Israel in the wilderness.
Og det blev kunngjort i Juda og Jerusalem at folk skulde komme til Herren med den avgift som Guds tjener Moses hadde pålagt Israel i ørkenen.
10 And they were glad all the officials and all the people and they brought and they threw to the chest until finished.
Da bar alle høvdingene og alt folket pengene frem med glede og kastet dem i kisten, til alt var kommet inn.
11 And it was at [the] time [when] someone brought the chest to [the] overseer of the king by [the] hand of the Levites and just as saw they that [was] much the money and he came [the] scribe of the king and [the] officer of [the] priest of the head so they may pour out the chest and they took it and they returned it to place its thus they did to a day - in a day and they gathered money to abundance.
Og hver gang kisten av levittene blev båret inn til kongens tilsynsmenn, og de så at det var mange penger i den, da kom kongens skriver og den av ypperstepresten innsatte tilsynsmann og tømte den, og så bar de den tilbake på dens plass. Således gjorde de dag efter dag og samlet en mengde penger.
12 And he gave it the king and Jehoiada to [the] doer of [the] work of [the] service of [the] house of Yahweh and they were hiring stone cutters and craftsmen to renew [the] house of Yahweh and also craftsmen of iron and bronze to repair [the] house of Yahweh.
Så overgav kongen og Jojada dem til dem som forestod arbeidet på Herrens hus, og de leide stenhuggere og tømmermenn til å sette Herrens hus i stand og likeledes jernsmeder og kobbersmeder til å utbedre Herrens hus.
13 And they worked [the] doers of the work and it went up [the] repair for the work by hand their and they erected [the] house of God on measurement its and they strengthened it.
Og arbeidsfolkene arbeidet, og utbedringsarbeidet skred frem under deres hender, og de satte Guds hus i stand igjen efter dets rette mål og gjorde det sterkt.
14 And just as had finished they they brought before the king and Jehoiada [the] remainder of the money and someone made it articles for [the] house of Yahweh articles of service and offering up and pans and articles of gold and silver and they were offering up burnt offerings in [the] house of Yahweh continually all [the] days of Jehoiada.
Og da de var ferdige, bar de resten av pengene til kongen og Jojada, og han lot gjøre redskaper derav til Herrens hus: redskaper til tjenesten og ofringen og skåler og gullkar og sølvkar. Og de ofret stadig brennoffere i Herrens hus, så lenge Jojada levde.
15 And he became old Jehoiada and he was satisfied days and he died a son of one hundred and thirty year[s] at death his.
Men Jojada blev gammel og mett av dager og døde; han var hundre og tretti år gammel da han døde.
16 And people buried him in [the] city of David with the kings for he had done good in Israel and with God and house his.
De begravde ham i Davids stad hos kongene, fordi han hadde gjort vel mot Israel og mot Gud og hans hus.
17 And after [the] death of Jehoiada they came [the] leaders of Judah and they bowed down to the king then he listened the king to them.
Men efter Jojadas død kom Judas høvdinger og kastet sig ned for kongen; da gav kongen efter,
18 And they abandoned [the] house of Yahweh [the] God of ancestors their and they served the Asherah poles and the idols and it was wrath towards Judah and Jerusalem in guilt their this.
og de forlot Herrens, sine fedres Guds hus og dyrket Astartebilledene og de andre avguder; og det kom vrede over Juda og Jerusalem for denne deres brøde.
19 And he sent among them prophets to bring back them to Yahweh and they warned them and not they gave ear.
Og Herren sendte profeter blandt dem for å føre dem tilbake til sig, og de advarte dem, men de hørte ikke på dem.
20 And [the] spirit of God it clothed Zechariah [the] son of Jehoiada the priest and he stood above the people and he said to them thus - he says God why? [are] you transgressing [the] commandments of Yahweh and not you will prosper for you have forsaken Yahweh and he has forsaken you.
Da kom Guds Ånd over Sakarias, presten Jojadas sønn, og han stod frem for folket og sa til dem: Så sier Gud: Hvorfor overtreder I Herrens bud? På den måte kan det ikke gå eder vel. Fordi I har forlatt Herren, forlater han eder.
21 And they conspired on him and they stoned him stone[s] by [the] command of the king in [the] courtyard of [the] house of Yahweh.
Men de sammensvor sig mot ham og stenet ham på kongens befaling i forgården til Herrens hus.
22 And not he remembered Joash the king the loyalty which he had done Jehoiada father his with him and he killed son his and when dying he he said may he see Yahweh and may he require.
Kong Joas kom ikke i hu den kjærlighet som hans far Jojada hadde vist ham - han drepte hans sønn; men i det samme han døde, ropte han: Herren skal se det og hevne det!
23 And it was - to [the] circuit of the year it came up on him [the] army of Aram and they came to Judah and Jerusalem and they destroyed all [the] leaders of the people from [the] people and all booty their they sent to [the] king of Damascus.
Så skjedde det, da året var til ende, at syrernes hær drog op mot ham; de kom til Juda og Jerusalem og utryddet alle høvdingene i folket og sendte alt det hærfang de tok, til kongen i Damaskus.
24 For with smallness of men they came - [the] army of Aram and Yahweh he gave in hand their an army for multitude exceedingly for they had forsaken Yahweh [the] God of ancestors their and with Joash they did judgment.
Syrerhæren som kom, var bare liten; men enda gav Herren en meget tallrik hær i deres hånd, fordi de hadde forlatt Herren, sine fedres Gud. Således fullbyrdet de straffedommen over Joas.
25 And when went they from him for they had left him (with sicknesses *Q(k)*) great they conspired on him own servants his in [the] blood of [the] sons of Jehoiada the priest and they killed him on bed his and he died and they buried him in [the] city of David and not they buried him in [the] graves of the kings.
Og da de drog bort fra ham - for de lot ham tilbake i svære lidelser - sammensvor hans tjenere sig mot ham, fordi han hadde drept presten Jojadas sønner, og de drepte ham på hans leie. Således døde han, og de begravde ham i Davids stad, men ikke i kongegravene.
26 And these [are] the [ones who] conspired on him Zabad [the] son of Shimeath the Ammonite [woman] and Jehozabad [the] son of Shimrith the Moabite [woman].
De som sammensvor sig mot ham, var Sabad, sønn av ammonitterkvinnen Sim'at, og Josabad, sønn av moabitterkvinnen Simrit.
27 And sons his (it will be numerous of *Q(K)*) the oracle on him and [the] founding of [the] house of God there they [are] written on [the] record of [the] scroll of the kings and he became king Amaziah son his in place of him.
Om hans sønner og de mange profetord som blev talt imot ham, og den grundige utbedring av Guds hus, derom er det skrevet i kongenes historiebok; og hans sønn Amasja blev konge i hans sted.
