2 Књига о царевима 12
1 Седме године Јујеве поче царовати Јоас, и царова четрдесет година у Јерусалиму. Матери му беше име Сивија из Вирсавеје.
In the seventh year of Jehu's rule, Jehoash became king; and he was ruling for forty years in Jerusalem; his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.
2 И чињаше Јоас што је право пред Господом докле га год учаше свештеник Јодај.
Jehoash did what was right in the eyes of the Lord all his days, because he was guided by the teaching of Jehoiada the priest.
3 Али висине не бише оборене; народ још приношаше жртве и кађаше на висинама.
But the high places were not taken away; the people went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.
4 И Јоас рече свештеницима: Сав новац посвећени, што се доноси у дом Господњи, новац оних који иду у бој, и новац од уцене свачије, и сав новац што ко доноси од своје воље у дом Господњи.
And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the holy things, which comes into the house of the Lord, (the amount fixed for every man's payment, ) and all the money given by any man freely from the impulse of his heart,
5 Нека свештеници узимају, сваки од свог познаника, и они нека оправљају што је трошно у дому где се год нађе да треба оправити.
Let the priests take, every man from his friends and neighbours, to make good what is damaged in the house, wherever it is to be seen.
6 Али до године двадесет треће царовања Јоасовог свештеници још не оправише шта беше трошно у дому.
But in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash, the priests had not made good the damaged parts of the house.
7 Тада цар Јоас дозва Јодаја свештеника и остале свештенике, и рече им: Зашто не оправљате што је трошно у дому? Одселе не узимајте новац од својих познаника, јер треба да вратите да се оправи што је трошно у дому.
Then King Jehoash sent for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said to them, Why have you not made good what is damaged in the house? now take no more money from your neighbours, but give it for the building up of the house.
8 И свештеници присташе да не узимају новац од народа и да не оправљају (они) што је трошно у дому.
So the priests made an agreement to take no more money from the people, and not to make good what was damaged in the house.
9 Тада свештеник Јодај узе један ковчег, и прореза рупу на заклопцу, и метну га код олтара с десне стране како се улази у дом Господњи; и свештеници који чуваху врата меташе у њ све новце који се доношаху у дом Господњи.
But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and making a hole in the cover of it, put it by the altar, on the right side when one comes into the house of the Lord; and the priests who kept the door put in it regularly all the money which was taken into the house of the Lord.
10 А кад виђаху да има много новаца у ковчегу, тада долажаше писар царев с поглаваром свештеничким, и избројавши свезиваху новце који би се нашли у дому Господњем.
And when they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king's scribe and the high priest came and put it in bags, noting the amount of all the money there was in the house of the Lord.
11 Потом даваху готове новце онима који управљаху послом и стараху се за дом Господњи, а они их издаваху дрводељама и посленицима који оправљаху дом Господњи,
And the money which was measured out they gave regularly to those who were responsible for overseeing the work, and these gave it in payment to the woodworkers and the builders who were working on the house of the Lord,
12 И зидарима и каменарима, и да се добавља дрво и тесано камење, да се оправи шта беше трошно у дому Господњем, и да се добави све што требаше да се оправи дом.
And to the wall-builders and the stone-cutters, and to get wood and cut stone for building up the broken parts of the house of the Lord, and for everything needed to put the house in good order.
13 Али новцима који доношаху у дом Господњи не грађаху чаша сребрних за дом Господњи, ни виљушака, ни котлића, ни труба, нити каквих судова златних ни сребрних;
But the money was not used for making silver cups or scissors or basins or wind-instruments or any vessels of gold or silver for the house of the Lord;
14 Него их даваху онима који беху над послом да се оправи за њих дом Господњи.
But it was all given to the workmen who were building up the house.
15 И не тражаху рачуна од људи којима предаваху новце да издају посленицима, јер верно рађаху.
And they did not get any statement of accounts from the men to whom the money was given for the workmen, for they made use of it with good faith.
16 Новци за преступ и новци за грехе не доношаху се у дом Господњи; припадаху свештеницима.
The money of the offerings for error and the sin-offerings was not taken into the house of the Lord; it was the priests'.
17 Тада изађе Азаило, цар сирски, и удари на Гат и узе га; потом се окрете Азаило да иде на Јерусалим.
Then Hazael, king of Aram, went up against Gath and took it; and his purpose was to go up to Jerusalem.
18 А Јоас, цар Јудин узе све посвећене ствари, што Јосафат и Јорам и Охозија, оци његови цареви Јудини, беху посветили, и све што сам беше посветио, и све злато што се нађе у ризницама дома Господњег и дома царевог, и посла Азаилу цару сирском; и тако отиде од Јерусалима.
Then Jehoash, king of Judah, took all the holy things which Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah his fathers, the kings of Judah, had given to the Lord, together with the things he himself had given, and all the gold in the Temple store and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael, king of Aram; and he went away from Jerusalem.
19 А остала дела Јоасова и све што је чинио, није ли то записано у дневнику царева Јудиних?
Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
20 А слуге његове подигоше се и побунише се, и убише Јоаса у дому Милону, куда се иде у Силу.
And his servants made a secret design and put Joash to death at the house of Millo on the way down to Silla.
21 Јоазахар, син Симеатов и Јозавад син Сомиров, слуге његове, убише га, те умре; и погребоше га код отаца његових у граду Давидовом; а на његово место зацари се Амасија, син његов.
And Jozacar, the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer, his servants, came to him and put him to death; and they put him into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; and Amaziah his son became king in his place.
