2 Kralji 12
1 V sedmem letu Jehúja je Joáš začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval štirideset let. Ime njegove matere je bilo Cibjá iz Beeršébe.
Joash became king in the seventh year of the reign of Jehu, and he reigned in Jerusalem for forty years. His mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
2 Joáš je delal to, kar je bilo pravilno v Gospodovih očeh, vse svoje dni, ko ga je duhovnik Jojadá poučeval.
Joash did what was right in the Lord's sight during the years that Jehoiada the priest advised him.
3 Toda visoki kraji niso bili odstranjeni. Ljudstvo je še vedno žrtvovalo in zažigalo kadilo na visokih krajih.
Even so, the high places were not removed—the people went on sacrificing and presenting burnt offerings at these places.
4 Joáš je rekel duhovnikom: »Ves denar od posvečenih stvari, ki je prinesen v Gospodovo hišo, celó denar vsakega, ki gre na račun, denar, ki je določen vsakemu možu in ves denar, ki pride v srce katerega človeka, da ga prinese v Gospodovo hišo,
Joash told the priests, “Collect together all the money that is brought as holy offerings to the Lord's Temple, whether the census money, the money from individual vows, and the money brought as a voluntary donation to the Lord's Temple.
5 naj ga duhovniki vzamejo k sebi, vsak človek od svojega znanca in naj popravijo vrzeli hiše, kjerkoli bi se našla kakršnakoli vrzel.«
Let each priest receive the money from those who give, and use it to repair whatever damage is discovered in the Temple.”
6 Toda bilo je tako, da v triindvajsetem letu kralja Joáša, duhovniki niso popravili vrzeli hiše.
But by the twenty-third year of the reign of Joash, the priests still had not repaired the damage to the Temple.
7 Potem je dal kralj Joáš poklicati duhovnika Jojadája in druge duhovnike ter jim rekel: »Zakaj ne popravite vrzeli hiše? Sedaj torej ne sprejemajte več denarja od svojega znanca, temveč ga izročite za vrzeli hiše.«
So King Joash called together Jehoiada and the other priests and asked, “Why haven't you repaired the damage in the Temple? Don't use any more money you're given for yourselves, instead hand it over to others to repair the Temple.”
8 Duhovniki so privolili, da od ljudstva ne sprejmejo nič več denarja niti za popravilo hišnih vrzeli.
The priests agreed not to receive any more money from the people, and that they wouldn't carry out the repairs to the Temple themselves.
9 Toda duhovnik Jojadá je vzel zaboj, v njegov pokrov izvrtal luknjo in ga postavil poleg oltarja, na desni strani, ko nekdo prihaja h Gospodovi hiši in duhovniki, ki varujejo vrata, so vanj polagali ves denar, ki je bil prinesen v Gospodovo hišo.
Jehoiada the priest took a large wooden box, cut a hole in its lid, and placed it on the right side of the altar next to the entrance to the Lord's Temple. There the priests who guarded the doorway put all the money brought into the Lord's Temple into the collection box.
10 Bilo je tako, ko so videli, da je bilo v zaboju veliko denarja, sta prišla gor kraljev pisar in véliki duhovnik ter ga spravila v torbe in preštela denar, ki je bil najden v Gospodovi hiši.
Whenever they saw there was a lot of money in the box, the king's secretary and the high priest would come, count the money brought into the Lord's Temple, and put it into bags.
11 Denar sta izročila, kakor jima je bilo rečeno, v roke tistih, ki so opravljali delo, ki so nadzorovali Gospodovo hišo in ga izročila tesarjem in graditeljem, ki so delali na Gospodovi hiši,
Then they weighed out the money and gave it to the supervisors of the work on the Lord's Temple. They paid the ones doing the work—the carpenters, builders,
12 zidarjem in kamnosekom, da kupijo lesa in klesanega kamna, da popravijo vrzeli Gospodove hiše in za vse, kar se je porabilo za hišo, da jo popravijo.
masons, and stonecutters. They also bought the timber and blocks of cut stone needed for the repair of the Lord's Temple, and paid all the other costs of restoring the Temple.
13 Vendar za Gospodovo hišo niso bile izdelane skledice iz srebra, utrinjala, umivalniki, trobente in vsakršne posode iz zlata ali posode iz srebra, od denarja, ki je bil prinesen v Gospodovo hišo,
However, the money collected for the Lord's Temple was not used for making silver basins, lamp trimmers, bowls, trumpets, or any items of gold or silver for the Lord's Temple.
14 temveč so ga dali delavcem in z njim popravljali Gospodovo hišo.
It was used to pay the workers doing the repairs to the Lord's Temple.
15 Poleg tega niso delali obračuna z možmi, v čigar roko so izročili denar, da bi bil podeljen delavcem, kajti postopali so zvesto.
No accounts were demanded from the men who received the money to pay the workers because they did everything honestly.
16 Denar za prekršek in denar za greh ni bil prinesen v Gospodovo hišo. Ta je pripadal duhovnikom.
The money from the guilt offerings and sin offerings was not collected for the Lord's Temple because it belonged to the priests.
17 Potem je sirski kralj Hazaél odšel gor, se boril zoper Gat, ga zavzel in Hazaél je svoj obraz nameril, da gre gor do Jeruzalema.
Around this time Hazael, king of Aram, went and attacked Gath, and captured it. Then he marched to attack Jerusalem.
18 Judov kralj Joáš je vzel vse posvečene stvari, ki so jih Józafat, Jehorám in Ahazjá, njegovi očetje, Judovi kralji, posvetili in svoje lastne posvečene stvari in vse zlato, ki je bilo najdeno v zakladnicah Gospodove hiše in v kraljevi hiši in to poslal sirskemu kralju Hazaélu in ta je odšel proč od Jeruzalema.
So King Joash of Judah took all the holy objects dedicated by his forefathers Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and Ahaziah, the kings of Judah, along with all the items he had dedicated himself, and all the gold found in the treasuries of the Lord's Temple and the royal palace, and he sent everything to Hazael, king of Aram. So Hazael retreated from Jerusalem.
19 Ostala Joaševa dela in vse, kar je storil, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Judovih kraljev?
The rest of what happened in Joash's reign and all that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
20 Njegova služabnika pa sta vstala, skovala zaroto in Joáša usmrtila v Milójevi hiši, ki gre dol do Sila.
His officials plotted against him and murdered him at Beth Millo, on the road that goes down to Silla.
21 Kajti njegova služabnika Šimátin sin Jozakarja in Šomêrjev sin Jozabád sta ga udarila in je umrl. Pokopali so ga z njegovimi očeti v Davidovem mestu in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Amacjá.
The officials who attacked and killed him were Jozacar, son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, son of Shomer. They buried him with his forefathers in the City of David. His son Amaziah succeeded him as king.
