2 Kings 12
1 When Jehu had been ruling Israel for almost seven years, Joash became the king of Judah. He ruled in Jerusalem for 40 years. His mother was Zibiah, from Beersheba [city].
Jeūs septītā gadā Joas palika par ķēniņu un valdīja četrdesmit gadus Jeruzālemē. Un viņa mātei bija vārds Cibea no Bēršebas.
2 All his life, he did what pleased Yahweh, because Jehoiada the priest instructed/taught him.
Un Joas darīja, kas Tam Kungam labi patika, visu savu mūžu, kamēr priesteris Jojada viņu mācīja.
3 But the places where the people worshiped [Yahweh] on the tops of hills were not destroyed, and they continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense at those places, [instead of at the place that God had chosen for them in Jerusalem].
Tikai kalnu altāri netapa nopostīti; jo tie ļaudis upurēja un kvēpināja vēl uz tiem kalnu altāriem.
4 Joash said to the priests, “You must take all the money which the people contribute, both the money they are required to give and the money that they themselves decide to give, as sacred offerings to buy things for the temple.
Un Joas sacīja uz tiem priesteriem: visu naudu, kas top dota Dievam par godu un nāk Tā Kunga namā, naudu, kas iet uz galvām, visu naudu, ko spriež par dvēseli, un visu naudu, ko dod no labprātības Tā Kunga namā,
5 Each priest must take the money from people who know him (OR, from one of the treasurers), and he must use that money to repair the temple whenever he sees that there is something that needs to be repaired.”
To priesteriem būs ņemt, ikkatram no sava pazīstama, un tiem būs izlabot tā nama plīsumus visur, kur tie plīsumus atrod.
6 But after Joash had been ruling for almost twenty-three years, the priests still had not repaired anything in the temple.
Un notikās ķēniņa Joasa divdesmit un trešā gadā, ka tie priesteri nebija labojuši tā nama plīsumus,
7 So Joash summoned Jehoiada and the other priests and said to them, “(Why are you not repairing things in the temple?/You should have been repairing things in the temple!) [RHQ] From now on, you must not keep the money that you receive from people who know you (OR, the treasurers). You must give it to the people who will be repairing things in the temple!”
Tad ķēniņš Joas aicināja priesteri Jojadu un tos citus priesterus un uz tiem sacīja: kāpēc jūs nelabojiet tā nama plīsumus. Un nu jums vairs nebūs ņemt naudu no saviem pazīstamiem, bet to dot priekš tā nama plīsumiem.
8 The priests agreed to do that, and they also agreed that they themselves would not do the repair work.
Tad tie priesteri bija mierā, naudas no ļaudīm vairs neņemt, nedz nama plīsumus izlabot.
9 Then Jehoiada took a chest and bored a hole in the lid. He placed it alongside the altar [for burning incense/sacrifices] that was on the right as anyone enters the temple. The priests who guarded the entrance to the temple put in the box the money that was brought to the temple.
Un priesteris Jojada ņēma šķirstu un ieurba tā vākā caurumu, un to lika sānis altārim pa labo roku; kad kāds nāca Tā Kunga namā, tad tie priesteri, kas slieksni sargāja, tur ielika to naudu, ko ienesa Tā Kunga namā.
10 Whenever they saw that there was a lot of money in the chest, the king’s secretary and the Supreme Priest would come and count the money. Then they would put it in bags and tie the bags shut.
Kad nu redzēja daudz naudas šķirstā esam, tad ķēniņa skrīveris un augstais priesteris nāca un sasēja un skaitīja to naudu, ko atrada Tā Kunga namā.
11 Then, after they weighed it, they would give the money to the men who supervised the work in the temple. Then the supervisors would use that money to pay the carpenters and builders who did the repair work in the temple,
Un tie to naudu ieskaitīja rokā darba uzraugiem, kas bija iecelti pār Tā Kunga namu. Un tie to izdeva amatniekiem un nama būvētājiem, kas pie Tā Kunga nama strādāja,
12 and the masons and the stone cutters. Also with some of that money they bought timber and stones that had been cut to be used in the repair work, and to pay all the other expenses for the repair work.
Un mūrniekiem un akmeņu cirtējiem, pirkt kokus un cirstus akmeņus, izlabot Tā Kunga nama plīsumus un izdot par visu, kas bija vajadzīgs, izlabot Tā Kunga namu.
13 But they did not use any of that money [to pay men] to make silver cups or wick trimmers or bowls or trumpets or any other items made of silver or gold to be used in the temple.
Bet sudraba kausus, nažus, bļodas, trumetes un visādas zelta un sudraba lietas priekš Tā Kunga nama netaisīja no tās naudas, ko sanesa Tā Kunga namā,
14 All that money was given to the men who were doing the work of repairing the temple.
Bet tie to deva strādniekiem, izlabot ar to Tā Kunga namu.
15 The men who supervised the work always did things honestly, so the king’s secretary and the Supreme Priest never required that the supervisors report what they had spent the money for.
Un atbildēšanu neprasīja no tiem vīriem, kam tā nauda bija dota, to dot strādniekiem, bet tie to darīja uz ticību.
16 But the money that people gave to pay for the wrong things that they had done and the money they gave to purify themselves because of the sins that they had committed was not put in the chest. That money belonged to the priests.
Nauda no noziegumu upuriem un nauda no grēku upuriem netapa nesta Tā Kunga namā, tā nācās priesteriem.
17 At that time, Hazael, the king of Syria, went [with his army] and attacked Gath [city] and conquered it. Then he decided that they would attack Jerusalem.
To brīdi Azaēls, Sīriešu ķēniņš, cēlās un karoja pret Gatu un to uzņēma. Un Azaēls griezās iet pret Jeruzālemi.
18 So Joash, the king of Judah, took all the money that the previous kings, Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, had dedicated to Yahweh. He added some of his own money, and all the gold that was in the rooms in the temple where valuable things were kept/stored, and the gold in his palace, and sent it all to King Hazael, [to (appease him/persuade him to not attack Jerusalem)]. So King Hazael [took his army] away from Jerusalem.
Tad Joas, Jūda ķēniņš, ņēma visas svētās dāvanas, ko viņa tēvi Jehošafats un Jehorams un Ahazija, Jūda ķēniņi, Dievam bija dāvinājuši, ir tās dāvanas, ko viņš pats bija devis, un visu zeltu, kas atradās Tā Kunga namā un pie ķēniņa nama mantām, un to sūtīja Azaēlim, Sīriešu ķēniņam. Tad šis aizgāja no Jeruzālemes.
19 [If you want to read more of] what Joash did, [it] is all written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Un kas vēl par Joasu stāstāms, un viss, ko viņš darījis, tas ir rakstīts Jūda ķēniņu laiku grāmatā.
20 Joash’s officials plotted against him, and two of them killed Joash on the road that goes down to [the] Silla [district]. The two men who did that were Jozabad, the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer. Joash was buried in the place where his ancestors were buried, [in the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then Joash’s son Amaziah became the king of Judah.
Un viņa kalpi cēlās un derēja derību un nokāva Joasu Millus namā, kur iet uz Sillu.
Jo Jozakars, Šimeata dēls, un Jozabats, Šomera dēls, viņa kalpi, to nokāva, ka tas nomira; un viņu apraka pie viņa tēviem Dāvida pilī. Un viņa dēls Amacīja palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā.
