Ii Regum 12
1 Anno septimo Iehu regnavit Ioas: et quadraginta annis regnavit in Ierusalem. Nomen matris eius Sebia de Bersabee.
In the seventh year of Jehu began Jehoash to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
2 Fecitque Ioas rectum coram Domino cunctis diebus, quibus docuit eum Ioiada sacerdos.
Jehoash did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
3 Verumtamen excelsa non abstulit: adhuc enim populus immolabat, et adolebat in excelsis incensum.
However the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
4 Dixitque Ioas ad sacerdotes: Omnem pecuniam sanctorum, quæ illata fuerit in templum Domini a prætereuntibus, quæ offertur pro pretio animæ, et quam sponte et arbitrio cordis sui inferunt in templum Domini:
Jehoash said to the priests, "All the money of the holy things that is brought into the house of Jehovah, in current money, the money of the persons for whom each man is rated, and all the money that it comes into any man's heart to bring into the house of Jehovah,
5 accipiant illam sacerdotes iuxta ordinem suum, et instaurent sartatecta domus, siquid necessarium viderint instauratione.
let the priests take it to them, every man from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the breaches of the house, wherever any breach shall be found."
6 Igitur usque ad vigesimum tertium annum regis Ioas, non instauraverunt sacerdotes sartatecta templi.
But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.
7 Vocavitque rex Ioas Ioiadam pontificem et sacerdotes, dicens eis: Quare sartatecta non instauratis templi? Nolite ergo amplius accipere pecuniam iuxta ordinem vestrum, sed ad instaurationem templi reddite eam.
Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said to them, "Why do you not repair the breaches of the house? Now therefore take no more money from your treasurers, but deliver it for the breaches of the house."
8 Prohibitique sunt sacerdotes ultra accipere pecuniam a populo, et instaurare sartatecta domus.
The priests consented that they should take no more money from the people, neither repair the breaches of the house.
9 Et tulit Ioiada pontifex gazophylacium unum, aperuitque foramen desuper, et posuit illud iuxta altare ad dexteram ingredientium domum Domini, mittebantque in eo sacerdotes, qui custodiebant ostia, omnem pecuniam, quæ deferebatur ad templum Domini.
But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of Jehovah: and the priests who kept the threshold put in it all the money that was brought into the house of Jehovah.
10 Cumque viderent nimiam pecuniam esse in gazophylacio, ascendebat scriba regis, et pontifex, effundebantque et numerabant pecuniam, quæ inveniebatur in domo Domini:
It was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags and counted the money that was found in the house of Jehovah.
11 et dabant eam iuxta numerum atque mensuram in manu eorum, qui præerant cæmentariis domus Domini: qui impendebant eam in fabris lignorum, et in cæmentariis iis, qui operabantur in domo Domini,
They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the house of Jehovah: and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders, who worked on the house of Jehovah,
12 et sartatecta faciebant: et in iis, qui cædebant saxa, et ut emerent ligna, et lapides, qui excidebantur, ita ut impleretur instauratio domus Domini in universis, quæ indigebant expensa ad muniendam domum.
and to the masons and the stone cutters, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the breaches of the house of Jehovah, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
13 Verumtamen non fiebant ex eadem pecunia hydriæ templi Domini, et fuscinulæ, et thuribula, et tubæ, et omne vas aureum et argenteum de pecunia, quæ inferebatur in templum Domini:
But there were not made for the house of Jehovah cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of Jehovah;
14 iis enim, qui faciebant opus, dabatur ut instauraretur templum Domini:
for they gave that to those who did the work, and repaired therewith the house of Jehovah.
15 et non fiebat ratio iis hominibus, qui accipiebant pecuniam ut distribuerent eam artificibus, sed in fide tractabant eam.
Moreover they did not demand an accounting from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work; for they dealt faithfully.
16 Pecuniam vero pro delicto, et pecuniam pro peccatis non inferebant in templum Domini, quia sacerdotum erat.
The money for the trespass offerings, and the money for the sin offerings, was not brought into the house of Jehovah: it was the priests'.
17 Tunc ascendit Hazael rex Syriæ, et pugnabat contra Geth, cepitque eam: et direxit faciem suam ut ascenderet in Ierusalem.
Then Hazael king of Aram went up, and fought against Gath, and took it; and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
18 Quam ob rem tulit Ioas rex Iuda omnia sanctificata, quæ consecraverant Iosaphat, et Ioram, et Ochozias patres eius reges Iuda, et quæ ipse obtulerat: et universum argentum, quod inveniri potuit in thesauris templi Domini, et in palatio regis: misitque Hazaeli regi Syriæ, et recessit ab Ierusalem.
Jehoash king of Judah took all the holy things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own holy things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and of the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Aram: and he went away from Jerusalem.
19 Reliqua autem sermonum Ioas, et universa quæ fecit, nonne hæc scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Iuda?
Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
20 Surrexerunt autem servi eius, et coniuraverunt inter se, percusseruntque Ioas in Domo Mello in descensu Sella.
His servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and struck Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla.
21 Iosachar namque filius Semaath, et Iozabad filius Somer servi eius, percusserunt eum, et mortuus est: et sepelierunt eum cum patribus suis in Civitate David, regnavitque Amasias filius eius pro eo.
For Jozabad the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the City of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
