1في السنة السابعة لياهو ملك يهوآش. ملك اربعين سنة في اورشليم. واسم امه ظبية من بئر سبع.
1In the seventh year of Jehu began Jehoash to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
2وعمل يهوآش ما هو مستقيم في عيني الرب كل ايامه التي فيها علمه يهوياداع الكاهن.
2Jehoash did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
3الا ان المرتفعات لم تنتزع بل كان الشعب لا يزالون يذبحون ويوقدون على المرتفعات.
3However the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
4وقال يهوآش للكهنة. جميع فضة الاقداس التي ادخلت الى بيت الرب الفضة الرائجة فضة كل واحد حسب النفوس المقوّمة كل فضة يخطر ببال انسان ان يدخلها الى بيت الرب
4Jehoash said to the priests, “All the money of the holy things that is brought into the house of Yahweh, in current money, the money of the persons for whom each man is rated, and all the money that it comes into any man’s heart to bring into the house of Yahweh,
5ليأخذها الكهنة لانفسهم كل واحد من عند صاحبه وهم يرمّمون ما تهدم من البيت كل ما وجد فيه متهدما.
5let the priests take it to them, every man from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the breaches of the house, wherever any breach shall be found.”
6وفي السنة الثالثة والعشرين للملك يهوآش لم تكن الكهنة رمّموا ما تهدم من البيت.
6But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.
7فدعا الملك يهوآش يهوياداع الكاهن والكهنة وقال لهم. لماذا لم ترمّموا ما تهدّم من البيت. فالآن لا تأخذوا فضة من عند اصحابكم بل اجعلوها لما تهدّم من البيت.
7Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said to them, “Why don’t you repair the breaches of the house? Now therefore take no more money from your treasurers, but deliver it for the breaches of the house.”
8فوافق الكهنة على ان لا يأخذوا فضة من الشعب ولا يرمّموا ما تهدّم من البيت.
8The priests consented that they should take no more money from the people, neither repair the breaches of the house.
9فاخذ يهوياداع الكاهن صندوقا وثقب ثقبا في غطائه وجعله بجانب المذبح عن اليمين عند دخول الانسان الى بيت الرب. والكهنة حارسو الباب جعلوا فيه كل الفضة المدخلة الى بيت الرب.
9But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of Yahweh: and the priests who kept the threshold put therein all the money that was brought into the house of Yahweh.
10وكان لما رأوا الفضة قد كثرت في الصندوق انه صعد كاتب الملك والكاهن العظيم وصرّوا وحسبوا الفضة الموجودة في بيت الرب.
10It 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 counted the money that was found in the house of Yahweh.
11ودفعوا الفضة المحسوبة الى ايدي عاملي الشغل الموكلين على بيت الرب وانفقوها للنجارين والبنائين العاملين في بيت الرب
11They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the house of Yahweh: and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders, who worked on the house of Yahweh,
12ولبنائي الحيطان ونحّاتي الحجارة ولشراء الاخشاب والحجارة المنحوتة لترميم ما تهدّم من بيت الرب ولكل ما ينفق على البيت لترميمه.
12and to the masons and the stone cutters, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the breaches of the house of Yahweh, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
13الا انه لم يعمل لبيت الرب طسوس فضة ولا مقصات ولا مناضح ولا ابواق كل آنية الذهب وآنية الفضة من الفضة الداخلة الى بيت الرب
13But there were not made for the house of Yahweh cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of Yahweh;
14بل كانوا يدفعونها لعاملي الشغل فكانوا يرمّمون بها بيت الرب.
14for they gave that to those who did the work, and repaired therewith the house of Yahweh.
15ولم يحاسبوا الرجال الذين سلموهم الفضة بايديهم لكي يعطوها لعاملي الشغل لانهم كانوا يعملون بامانة.
15Moreover they didn’t demand an accounting from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work; for they dealt faithfully.
16واما فضة ذبيحة الاثم وفضة ذبيحة الخطية فلم تدخل الى بيت الرب بل كانت للكهنة
16The money for the trespass offerings, and the money for the sin offerings, was not brought into the house of Yahweh: it was the priests’.
17حينئذ صعد حزائيل ملك ارام وحارب جتّ واخذها. ثم حول حزائيل وجهه ليصعد الى اورشليم.
17Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it; and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
18فاخذ يهواش ملك يهوذا جميع الاقداس التي قدسها يهوشافاط ويهورام واخزيا آباؤه ملوك يهوذا واقداسه وكل الذهب الموجود في خزائن بيت الرب وبيت الملك وارسلها الى حزائيل ملك ارام فصعد عن اورشليم.
18Jehoash king of Judah took all the holy things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own holy things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and of the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.
19وبقية امور يوآش وكل ما عمل أما هي مكتوبة في سفر اخبار الايام لملوك يهوذا.
19Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
20وقام عبيده وفتنوا فتنة وقتلوا يوآش في بيت القلعة حيث ينزل الى سّلى.
20His servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and struck Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla.
21لان يوزاكار بن شمعة ويهوزاباد بن شومير عبديه ضرباه فمات فدفنوه مع آبائه في مدينة داود وملك امصيا ابنه عوضا عنه
21For Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
