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 Beer-sheba.

¹Joas oli kuningaks saades seitse aastat vana.

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

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

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

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

⁴And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the hallowed things that is brought into the house of Jehovah, in current money, the money of the persons for whom each man is rated, and all the money that it cometh into any man's heart to bring into the house of Jehovah,

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

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

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,

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

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

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

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

⁸And the priests consented that they should take no [more] money from the people, neither repair the breaches 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!'

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 Jehovah: and the priests that kept the threshold put therein all the money that was brought into the house of Jehovah.

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

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 counted the money that was 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 they gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of Jehovah: and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders, that wrought upon 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 the masons and the hewers of stone, and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the breaches of the house of Jehovah, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.

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

¹³But there were not made for the house of Jehovah cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was 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 they gave that to them that did the work, and repaired therewith 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,

¹⁵Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to give to them that did the work; for they dealt faithfully.

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

¹⁶The money for the trespass-offerings, and the money for the sin-offerings, was not brought into the house of Jehovah: it was the priests'.

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

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

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

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 Jehovah, and of the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from 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,

¹⁹Now 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?

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 arose, and made a conspiracy, and smote Joash at the house of Millo, [on the way] that goeth down to Silla.

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

²¹For Jozacar 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.

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.
