Otra Laiku 24
1 Joas bija septiņus gadus vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu, un valdīja četrdesmit gadus Jeruzālemē, un viņa mātei bija vārds Cibea, no Bēršebas.
Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba.
2 Un Joas darīja, kas Tam Kungam labi patika, kamēr priesteris Jojada dzīvoja.
And Joash did what was right in the eyes of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
3 Un Jojada tam ņēma divas sievas, un tās dzemdināja dēlus un meitas.
Jehoiada took for himself two wives, and he had sons and daughters.
4 Pēc tam Joas apņēmās savā sirdī, atjaunot Tā Kunga namu.
Some time later, Joash set his heart on repairing the house of the LORD.
5 Un viņš sapulcināja priesterus un Levitus un uz tiem sacīja: izejiet Jūda pilsētās un sakrājiet naudu no visa Israēla, atkal apkopt sava Dieva namu gadu no gada; un steidzaties ar šo lietu. Bet Leviti nesteidzās.
So he gathered the priests and Levites and said, “Go out to the cities of Judah and collect the money due annually from all Israel, to repair the house of your God. Do it quickly.” The Levites, however, did not make haste.
6 Un ķēniņš aicināja augsto priesteri Jojadu, un uz to sacīja: kāpēc tu neesi raudzījis uz Levitiem, ka tiem no Jūda un Jeruzālemes bija sakrāt to meslu naudu, ko Mozus, Tā Kunga kalps, nospriedis, ka Israēla draudzei jādod priekš saiešanas telts?
So the king called Jehoiada the high priest and said, “Why have you not required the Levites to bring from Judah and Jerusalem the tax imposed by Moses the servant of the LORD and by the assembly of Israel for the Tent of the Testimony?”
7 Jo bezdievīgā Atalija un viņas dēli Dieva namu postījuši, un visas svētās dāvanas no Tā Kunga nama izlietojuši Baāliem.
For the sons of that wicked woman Athaliah had broken into the house of God and had even used the sacred objects of the house of the LORD for the Baals.
8 Tad ķēniņš pavēlēja taisīt šķirstu, un to likt ārā pie Tā Kunga nama vārtiem.
At the king’s command a chest was made and placed outside, at the gate of the house of the LORD.
9 Un Jūdā un Jeruzālemē izsauca, lai Tam Kungam atnes meslu naudu, ko Mozus, tas Dieva kalps, Israēlim tuksnesi bija nospriedis.
And a proclamation was issued in Judah and Jerusalem that they were to bring to the LORD the tax imposed by Moses the servant of God on Israel in the wilderness.
10 Tad visi lielkungi un visi ļaudis priecājās un atnesa un iemeta tai šķirstā, kamēr tas tapa pilns.
All the officers and all the people rejoiced and brought their contributions, and they dropped them in the chest until it was full.
11 Kad nu bija laiks, Levitiem šķirstu atnest pie ķēniņa celtiem uzraugiem, un kad redzēja, ka daudz naudas bija iekšā, tad ķēniņa skrīveris, un augstā priestera uzraugs, nāca un iztukšoja to šķirstu, un to ņēma un atkal nonesa savā vietā; tā tie darīja ikdienas un sakrāja daudz naudas.
Whenever the chest was brought by the Levites to the king’s overseers and they saw that there was a large amount of money, the royal scribe and the officer of the high priest would come and empty the chest and carry it back to its place. They did this daily and gathered the money in abundance.
12 Un ķēniņš un Jojada to deva tiem darba vedējiem pie Tā Kunga nama darba, un tie saderēja akmeņu cirtējus un amatniekus, Tā Kunga namu atjaunot, arī dzelzs un vara kalējus, atkal uzkopt Tā Kunga namu.
Then the king and Jehoiada would give the money to those who supervised the labor on the house of the LORD to hire stonecutters and carpenters to restore the house of the LORD, as well as workers in iron and bronze to repair the house of the LORD.
13 Un tie strādnieki darīja savu darbu un darbs veicās caur viņu roku, un tie Dieva namu atkal iztaisīja pareizi un to uzkopa.
So the workmen labored, and in their hands the repair work progressed. They restored the house of God according to its specifications, and they reinforced it.
14 Kad tie to nu bija pabeiguši, tad tie atnesa atlikušo naudu pie ķēniņa un Jojadas, un par to lika rīkus taisīt Tā Kunga namam, rīkus kalpošanai un upurēšanai un bļodas un zelta un sudraba traukus; un tie upurēja vienmēr dedzināmos upurus Tā Kunga namā, kamēr Jojada dzīvoja.
When they were finished, they brought the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada to make with it the articles for the house of the LORD—utensils for the service and for the burnt offerings, dishes, and other objects of gold and silver. Throughout the days of Jehoiada, burnt offerings were presented regularly in the house of the LORD.
15 Un Jojada palika vecs un bija savu laiku nodzīvojis un nomira; simts un trīsdesmit gadus viņš bija vecs, kad nomira.
When Jehoiada was old and full of years, he died at the age of 130.
16 Un to apraka Dāvida pilī pie ķēniņiem, jo viņš Israēlim bija labu darījis, ir Dievam, ir viņa namam.
And Jehoiada was buried with the kings in the City of David, because he had done what was good in Israel for God and His temple.
17 Bet kad Jojada bija nomiris, tad Jūda lielkungi nāca un metās zemē ķēniņa priekšā; un ķēniņš uz tiem klausījās.
After the death of Jehoiada, however, the officials of Judah came and paid homage to the king, and he listened to them.
18 Un tie atstāja Tā Kunga, savu tēvu Dieva, namu, un kalpoja Ašerām un elkiem. Tad dusmība nāca pār Jūdu un Jeruzālemi šā viņu nozieguma dēļ.
They abandoned the house of the LORD, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherah poles and idols. So wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this guilt of theirs.
19 Un viņš tiem sūtīja praviešus, tos atkal atgriezt pie Tā Kunga, un tie gan deva liecību pret viņiem, bet šie savas ausis neatvēra.
Nevertheless, the LORD sent prophets to bring the people back to Him and to testify against them; but they would not listen.
20 Bet Tā Kunga Gars nāca uz Zahariju, priestera Jojadas dēlu. Tas uzkāpa kādā augstā vietā ļaužu priekšā un uz tiem sacīja: tā Dievs saka: kāpēc jūs pārkāpjat Tā Kunga baušļus? Tas jums nebūs par labu! Jūs To Kungu esat atstājuši, Viņš jūs arīdzan atstās.
Then the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest, who stood up before the people and said to them, “This is what God says: ‘Why do you transgress the commandments of the LORD so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, He has forsaken you.’”
21 Un tie cēlās pret viņu un to nomētāja akmeņiem pēc ķēniņa pavēles Tā Kunga nama pagalmā.
But they conspired against Zechariah, and by order of the king, they stoned him in the courtyard of the house of the LORD.
22 Tā ķēniņš Joas nepieminēja to žēlastību, ko viņa tēvs Jojada tam bija parādījis, bet nokāva viņa dēlu. Un mirdams tas sacīja: Tas Kungs to redzēs un piemeklēs.
Thus King Joash failed to remember the kindness that Zechariah’s father Jehoiada had extended to him. Instead, Joash killed Jehoiada’s son. As he lay dying, Zechariah said, “May the LORD see this and call you to account.”
23 Kad nu gads bija pagājis, tad Sīriešu kara spēks cēlās pret viņu; un tie nāca pret Jūdu un Jeruzālemi un nogalināja no tiem ļaudīm visus ļaužu virsniekus, un sūtīja visu savu laupījumu Damaskus ķēniņam.
In the spring, the army of Aram went to war against Joash. They entered Judah and Jerusalem and destroyed all the leaders of the people, and they sent all the plunder to their king in Damascus.
24 Un jebšu Sīriešu spēks mazā pulkā atnāca, taču Tas Kungs tiem nodeva rokā ļoti lielu kara spēku, tāpēc ka šie bija atstājuši To Kungu, savu tēvu Dievu; un Joasu tie sodīja.
Although the Aramean army had come with only a few men, the LORD delivered into their hand a very great army. Because Judah had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers, judgment was executed on Joash.
25 Un kad šie no viņa atkal aizgāja, (jo šie viņu pameta ļoti ievainotu, ) tad viņa kalpi pret viņu sacēlās priestera Jojadas bērnu asiņu dēļ, un to nokāva viņa gultā, ka tas nomira. Un to apraka Dāvida pilī, bet ķēniņa kapos to neraka.
And when the Arameans had withdrawn, they left Joash severely wounded. His own servants conspired against him for shedding the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and they killed him on his bed. So he died and was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
26 Un šie ir, kas pret viņu bija sacēlušies: Zabads, Amonietes Zimeatas dēls, un Jozabads, Moabietes Zimrites dēls.
Those who conspired against Joash were Zabad son of Shimeath the Ammonitess and Jehozabad son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
27 Bet viņa dēli un viņa meslu-naudas krājums un Dieva nama uzkopšana, redzi, tas viss rakstīts ķēniņu grāmatas rakstos. Un viņa dēls Amacīja palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā.
The accounts of the sons of Joash, as well as the many pronouncements about him and about the restoration of the house of God, are indeed written in the Treatise of the Book of the Kings. And his son Amaziah reigned in his place.
