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].
В седьмой год Ииуя воцарился Иоас и сорок лет царствовал в Иерусалиме. Имя матери его Цивья, из Вирсавии.
2 All his life, he did what pleased Yahweh, because Jehoiada the priest instructed/taught him.
И делал Иоас угодное в очах Господних во все дни свои, доколе наставлял его священник Иодай;
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].
только высоты не были отменены; народ еще приносил жертвы и курения на высотах.
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.
И сказал Иоас священникам: все серебро посвящаемое, которое приносят в дом Господень, серебро от приходящих, серебро, вносимое за каждую душу по оценке, все серебро, сколько кому приходит на сердце принести в дом Господень,
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.”
пусть берут священники себе, каждый от своего знакомого, и пусть исправляют они поврежденное в храме, везде, где найдется повреждение.
6 But after Joash had been ruling for almost twenty-three years, the priests still had not repaired anything in the temple.
Но как до двадцать третьего года царя Иоаса священники не исправляли повреждений в храме,
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!”
то царь Иоас позвал священника Иодая и священников и сказал им: почему вы не исправляете повреждений в храме? Не берите же отныне серебра у знакомых своих, а на починку повреждений в храме отдайте его.
8 The priests agreed to do that, and they also agreed that they themselves would not do the repair work.
И согласились священники не брать серебра у народа на исправление повреждений в храме.
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.
И взял священник Иодай один ящик, и сделал отверстие сверху его, и поставил его подле жертвенника на правой стороне, где входили в дом Господень. И полагали туда священники, стоящие на страже у порога, все серебро, приносимое в дом Господень.
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.
И когда видели, что много серебра в ящике, приходили писец царский и первосвященник, и завязывали в мешки, и пересчитывали серебро, найденное в доме Господнем;
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,
и отдавали сосчитанное серебро в руки производителям работ, приставленным к дому Господню, а сии издерживали его на плотников и строителей, работавших в доме Господнем,
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.
и на делателей стен и на каменотесов, также на покупку дерев и тесаных камней, для починки повреждений в доме Господнем, и на все, что расходовалось для поддержания храма.
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.
Но не сделано было для дома Господня серебряных блюд, ножей, чаш для окропления, труб, всяких сосудов золотых и сосудов серебряных из серебра, приносимого в дом Господень,
14 All that money was given to the men who were doing the work of repairing the temple.
а производителям работ отдавали его, и починивали им дом Господень.
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.
И не требовали отчета от тех людей, которым поручали серебро для раздачи производителям работ, ибо они действовали честно.
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.
Серебро за жертву о преступлении и серебро за жертву о грехе не вносилось в дом Господень: священникам оно принадлежало.
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.
Тогда выступил в поход Азаил, царь Сирийский, и пошел войною на Геф, и взял его; и вознамерился Азаил идти на Иерусалим.
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.
Но Иоас, царь Иудейский, взял все пожертвованное, что пожертвовали храму Иосафат, и Иорам и Охозия, отцы его, цари Иудейские, и что он сам пожертвовал, и все золото, найденное в сокровищницах дома Господня и дома царского, и послал Азаилу, царю Сирийскому; и он отступил от Иерусалима.
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’.
Прочее об Иоасе и обо всем, что он сделал, написано в летописи царей Иудейских.
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.
И восстали слуги его, и составили заговор, и убили Иоаса в доме Милло, на дороге к Силле.
Его убили слуги его: Иозакар, сын Шимеаты, и Иегозавад, сын Шомеры; и он умер, и похоронили его с отцами его в городе Давидовом. И воцарился Амасия, сын его, вместо него.
