< 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 reigned hath Jehoash, and forty years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Zibiah of Beer-Sheba,
2 Fecitque Ioas rectum coram Domino cunctis diebus, quibus docuit eum Ioiada sacerdos.
and Jehoash doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah all his days in which Jehoiada the priest directed him,
3 Verumtamen excelsa non abstulit: adhuc enim populus immolabat, et adolebat in excelsis incensum.
only, the high places have not turned aside, still are the people sacrificing and making perfume in 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:
And Jehoash saith unto the priests, 'All the money of the sanctified things that is brought in to the house of Jehovah, the money of him who is passing over, each the money of his valuation, all the money that it goeth up on the heart of a man to bring in to the house of Jehovah,
5 accipiant illam sacerdotes iuxta ordinem suum, et instaurent sartatecta domus, siquid necessarium viderint instauratione.
do the priests take to them, each from his acquaintance, and they strengthen the breach of the house, in all [places] where there is found a breach.'
6 Igitur usque ad vigesimum tertium annum regis Ioas, non instauraverunt sacerdotes sartatecta templi.
And it cometh to pass, in the twenty and third year of king Jehoash, the priests have not strengthened the breach 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.
and king Jehoash calleth to Jehoiada the priest, and to the priests, and saith unto them, 'Wherefore are ye not strengthening the breach of the house? and now, receive no money from your acquaintances, but for the breach of the house give it.'
8 Prohibitique sunt sacerdotes ultra accipere pecuniam a populo, et instaurare sartatecta domus.
And the priests consent not to receive money from the people, nor to strengthen the breach 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.
and Jehoiada the priest taketh a chest, and pierceth a hole in its lid, and putteth it near the altar, on the right side, as one cometh in to the house of Jehovah, and the priests keeping the threshold have put there all the money that is brought in to 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:
And it cometh to pass, at their seeing that the money [is] abundant in the chest, that there goeth up a scribe of the king, and of the high priest, and they bind [it] up, and count the money that is 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,
and have given the weighed money into the hands of those doing the work, those inspecting the house of Jehovah, and they bring it out to those working in the wood, and to builders who are working in 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 those [repairing] the wall, and to hewers of stone, and to buy wood and hewn stones to strengthen the breach of the house of Jehovah, and for all that goeth out on the house, to strengthen 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.
Only, there is not made for the house of Jehovah basins of silver, snuffers, bowls, trumpets, any vessel of gold, and vessel of silver, out of the money that is brought into the house of Jehovah;
14 iis enim, qui faciebant opus, dabatur ut instauraretur templum Domini:
for to those doing the work they give it, and they have strengthened with it the house of Jehovah,
15 et non fiebat ratio iis hominibus, qui accipiebant pecuniam ut distribuerent eam artificibus, sed in fide tractabant eam.
and they do not reckon with the men into whose hand they give the money to give to those doing the work, for in faithfulness they are dealing.
16 Pecuniam vero pro delicto, et pecuniam pro peccatis non inferebant in templum Domini, quia sacerdotum erat.
The money of a trespass-offering, and the money of sin-offerings is not brought in to the house of Jehovah — for the priests it is.
17 Tunc ascendit Hazael rex Syriæ, et pugnabat contra Geth, cepitque eam: et direxit faciem suam ut ascenderet in Ierusalem.
Then go up doth Hazael king of Aram, and fighteth against Gath, and captureth it, and Hazael setteth his face to go up against 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.
and Jehoash king of Judah taketh all the sanctified things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had sanctified, and his own sanctified things, and all the gold that is found in the treasures of the house of Jehovah and of the house of the king, and sendeth to Hazael king of Aram, and he goeth up from off Jerusalem.
19 Reliqua autem sermonum Ioas, et universa quæ fecit, nonne hæc scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum regum Iuda?
And the rest of the matters of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written on 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.
And his servants rise, and make a conspiracy, and smite Joash in the house of Millo, that is going 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.
yea, Jozachar son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad son of Shemer, his servants, have smitten him, and he dieth, and they bury him with his fathers in the city of David, and reign doth Amaziah his son, in his stead.
