¹In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and forty years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.

¹約阿施作猶大王（代下24:1~3）耶戶在位第七年，約阿施登基，在耶路撒冷作王四十年。他母親名叫西比亞，是從別是巴來的。（本節在《馬索拉抄本》為12:2）

²And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him.

²在耶何耶大祭司教導他的日子，他就行耶和華看為正的事。

³But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

³只是邱壇沒有廢去，人民仍在邱壇獻祭焚香。

⁴And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the LORD, even the money of every one that passeth the account, the money that every man is set at, and all the money that cometh into any man's heart to bring into the house of the LORD,

⁴下令重修聖殿（代下24:4~14）約阿施對眾祭司說：“所有分別為聖，奉到耶和華殿裡的銀子，或是各被數點之人的贖價，或是各種的贖價，或是各人隨著心意，奉到耶和華殿裡的銀子，

⁵Let the priests take it to them, every man of his acquaintance: and let them repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach shall be found.

⁵各祭司可向自己熟悉的人收取。他們要修理殿內毀壞的地方，就是一切發現有毀壞的地方。”

⁶But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.

⁶可是到了約阿施王在位二十三年的時候，祭司還未修好聖殿毀壞的地方。

⁷Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore receive no more money of your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house.

⁷於是約阿施王召了耶何耶大祭司和眾祭司來，說：“你們為甚麼不修理聖殿毀壞的地方呢？現在不要向你們熟識的人收取銀子，卻要把所收的交出來，修理聖殿毀壞的地方。”

⁸And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, neither to repair the breaches of the house.

⁸眾祭司答應不再從人民收取銀子，也不修理聖殿毀壞的地方。

⁹But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the LORD: and the priests that kept the door put therein all the money that was brought into the house of the LORD.

⁹耶何耶大祭司搬來了一個箱子，在它的頂上鑽了一個孔，把它放在祭壇旁邊，在聖殿入口的右邊。守門的祭司把奉到耶和華殿所有的銀子都投進箱裡。

¹⁰And 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 told the money that was found in the house of the LORD.

¹⁰他們看見箱內的銀子多起來的時候，就叫王的書記和大祭司上來，他們就數點在耶和華殿裡所得的銀子，裝在袋中。

¹¹And they gave the money, being told, into the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of the LORD: and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders, that wrought upon the house of the LORD,

¹¹他們把所稱的銀子交在耶和華殿中管理工匠的監工手裡，然後他們支付給在耶和華殿作工的木匠和建築工人，

¹²And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.

¹²以及泥匠和石匠；又用來購買木材和鑿好的石頭，來修理耶和華殿裡毀壞的地方，以及支付一切修理耶和華殿的開支。

¹³Howbeit there were not made for the house of the LORD bowls of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the LORD:

¹³但耶和華殿裡的銀杯、燭剪、碗、號或任何金銀器皿，都沒有用奉到耶和華殿裡的銀子來做。

¹⁴But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired therewith the house of the LORD.

¹⁴他們只把銀子交給工匠，用來修理耶和華殿裡毀壞的地方。

¹⁵Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully.

¹⁵他們沒有要求經手把銀子轉付工匠的人交代帳目，因為他們辦事誠實。

¹⁶The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of the LORD: it was the priests'.

¹⁶但是贖愆祭和贖罪祭的銀子，他們沒有奉入耶和華的殿，這些銀子是屬於祭司的。

¹⁷Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it: and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.

¹⁷亞蘭軍攻打猶大（代下24:23~24）那時亞蘭王哈薛上來，攻打迦特，把它奪取了。他又決心上來攻打耶路撒冷。

¹⁸And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.

¹⁸猶大王約阿施於是拿出所有的聖物，就是他的祖先猶大王約沙法、約蘭和亞哈謝所獻的聖物，以及他自己所獻的聖物，還有耶和華殿和王宮寶庫裡所有的金子，送給亞蘭王哈薛，哈薛就離開耶路撒冷去了。

¹⁹And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

¹⁹約阿施被殺（代下24:25~27）約阿施其餘的事蹟和他所行的一切，不是都寫在猶大列王的年代誌上嗎？

²⁰And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and slew Joash in the house of Millo, which goeth down to Silla.

²⁰約阿施的臣僕起來背叛，他們在米羅宮內，他下到悉拉的時候，擊殺了他。

²¹For Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.

²¹他的臣僕示米押的兒子約撒甲和朔默的兒子約薩拔擊殺他，他就死了。人把他埋葬在大衛城，和他的祖先在一起。他的兒子亞瑪謝接續他作王。
