¹In 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,

¹Joas oli kuningaks saades seitse aastat vana.

²and Jehoash doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah all his days in which Jehoiada the priest directed him,

²Jehu seitsmendal aastal sai Joas kuningaks ja ta valitses Jeruusalemmas nelikümmend aastat; ta ema nimi oli Sibja, Beer-Sebast.

³only, the high places have not turned aside, still are the people sacrificing and making perfume in high places.

³Joas tegi kogu oma eluaja, mis õige oli Issanda silmis, sest preester Joojada oli teda õpetanud.

⁴And 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,

⁴Aga ohvrikünkad ei kadunud, vaid rahvas ohverdas ja suitsutas veelgi ohvriküngastel.

⁵do 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.`

⁵Ja Joas ütles preestritele: 'Kõik pühitsetud andide raha, mis tuuakse Issanda kotta, käibel olev raha, hingeraha, mille järgi igaühte on hinnatud, kõik raha, mida keegi südame sunnil toob Issanda kotta,

⁶And it cometh to pass, in the twenty and third year of king Jehoash, the priests have not strengthened the breach of the house,

⁶võtku preestrid enestele, igaüks oma tuttavalt, aga nad peavad kohendama koja lagunenud kohti, kõike, mis seal leitakse olevat lagunenud!'

⁷and 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.`

⁷Aga kuningas Joase kahekümne kolmandal aastal ei olnud preestrid veel kohendanud koja lagunenud kohti.

⁸And the priests consent not to receive money from the people, nor to strengthen the breach of the house,

⁸Siis kuningas Joas kutsus preester Joojada ja teised preestrid ning ütles neile: 'Miks te ei kohenda kojas seda, mis on lagunenud? Aga nüüd ärge võtke raha oma tuttavailt enam enestele, vaid andke see lagunenud koja heaks!'

⁹and 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.

⁹Ja preestrid olid nõus, et nad ei võta rahvalt raha ega kohenda ka ise lagunenud koda.

¹⁰And 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,

¹⁰Siis preester Joojada võttis ühe kirstu, puuris augu kaanesse ja pani selle altari kõrvale, paremale poole, kui minna Issanda kotta; ja preestrid, lävehoidjad, panid sinna kõik raha, mis toodi Issanda kotta.

¹¹and 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,

¹¹Ja kui nad nägid, et kirstus oli palju raha, siis läks kuninga kirjutaja koos ülempreestriga sinna ja nad lugesid ning sidusid kokku raha, mis leidus Issanda kojas.

¹²and 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.

¹²Siis anti vaetud raha tööjuhatajate kätte, kelle hooleks oli antud Issanda koda, ja nemad maksid puuseppadele ja ehitustöölistele, kes töötasid Issanda kojas,

¹³Only, 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;

¹³samuti müürseppadele ja kiviraiujaile ning ostsid puid ja tahutud kive, et kohendada Issanda koja lagunenud kohti, ja maksid kõige eest, mis koja kohendamiseks tarvis läks.

¹⁴for to those doing the work they give it, and they have strengthened with it the house of Jehovah,

¹⁴Aga hõbekausse, tahikääre, piserdusnõusid, pasunaid, mitte ühtegi kuld- ega hõberiista ei tehtud Issanda kojale selle raha eest, mis toodi Issanda kotta,

¹⁵and 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.

¹⁵vaid see anti tööjuhatajaile, et nad selle eest kohendaksid Issanda koda.

¹⁶The 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.

¹⁶Meestega, kelle kätte raha anti, et nad annaksid selle töölistele, ei peetud arvet, sest nad talitasid ausasti.

¹⁷Then go up doth Hazael king of Aram, and fighteth against Gath, and captureth it, and Hazael setteth his face to go up against Jerusalem;

¹⁷Süüohvri raha ja patuohvri raha ei viidud Issanda kojale, see jäi preestritele.

¹⁸and 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.

¹⁸Sel ajal tuli Süüria kuningas Hasael ja sõdis Gati vastu ning vallutas selle. Aga kui Hasael pööras oma palge, et minna üles Jeruusalemma vastu,

¹⁹And 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?

¹⁹siis võttis Juuda kuningas Joas kõik pühad asjad, mis tema eelkäijad, Juuda kuningad Joosafat, Jooram ja Ahasja, olid pühitsenud, ja oma pühad asjad ja kõik kulla, mis leidus Issanda koja ja kuningakoja varanduste hulgas, ja läkitas Süüria kuningale Hasaelile - siis läks too Jeruusalemma alt ära.

²⁰And his servants rise, and make a conspiracy, and smite Joash in the house of Millo, that is going down to Silla:

²⁰Ja mis veel tuleks öelda Joasest ja kõigest, mis ta tegi, eks sellest ole kirjutatud Juuda kuningate Ajaraamatus?

²¹yea, 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.

²¹Ta sulased võtsid kätte ning pidasid vandenõu ja lõid Joase maha kindluse kojas, kust pääseb alla Sillasse.

²²Joosakar, Simeati poeg, ja Joosabad, Soomeri poeg, tema sulased, olid need, kes lõid tema surnuks; ja ta maeti oma vanemate juurde Taaveti linna; ja tema poeg Amasja sai tema asemel kuningaks.
