¹V siedmom roku Jehu-va začal kraľovať Joas a kraľoval štyridsať rokov v Jeruzaleme. A meno jeho matky bolo Cibia z Bér-šeby.

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

²A Joas robil to, čo je spravedlivé v očiach Hospodinových, po všetky svoje dni, dokiaľ ho vyučoval kňaz Jehojada.

²And Jehoash did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, all the days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him.

³Len že výšiny neboly ustúpily; ľud ešte vždy obetoval a kadil na výšinách.

³Only, the high places were not removed: the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.

⁴A Joas riekol kňazom: Všetky peniaze za posvätné veci, ktoré to peniaze budú donesené do domu Hospodinovho, peniaze toho, ktorý ide ta do počtu, každého, peniaze, od duší, jeho výkupnú cenu, jakékoľvek peniaze, ktoré by prišly na srdce niektorého človeka, aby ich doniesol do domu Hospodinovho,

⁴And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the hallowed things that is brought into the house of Jehovah, the money of every one that passes [the account], the money at which every man is valued, [and] all the money that comes into any man's heart to bring into the house of Jehovah,

⁵nech si vezmú kňazi, každý od svojho známeho, a oni nech opravia trhliny domu, všetko a všade, kde sa najde voľačo potrebné opravy.

⁵let the priests take it, every man of his acquaintance; and let them repair the breaches of the house, wherever any breach is found.

⁶Potom stalo sa v dvadsiatom treťom roku kráľa Joasa, keď ešte neboli opravili kňazi trhlín domu,

⁶And it was [so that] in the twenty-third year of king Jehoash, the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.

⁷že povolal kráľ Joas kňaza Jehojadu aj iných kňazov a povedal im: Prečo neopravujete trhlín domu Božieho? Preto teraz už neberte peňazí od svojich známych, ale ich dávajte na opravu trhlín domu.

⁷Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the priests, and said to them, Why have ye not repaired the breaches of the house? And now receive no money of your acquaintances, but give it for the breaches of the house.

⁸A kňazi pristali na to, aby nebrali peňazí od ľudu ani aby neopravovali trhlín domu.

⁸And the priests consented to receive no money of the people, and that they should only repair the breaches of the house.

⁹Ale kňaz Jehojada vzal jednu truhlicu a predlabal dieru na jej víku a postavil ju vedľa oltára po pravej strane tomu, kto vchádza do domu Hospodinovho, a ta dávali kňazi, ktorí strážili prah, všetky peniaze, ktoré sa donášaly do domu Hospodinovho.

⁹And Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of Jehovah; and the priests that kept the door put into it all the money brought into the house of Jehovah.

¹⁰A bývalo, keď videli, že je už mnoho peňazí v truhlici, že prichádzaval hore kráľov pisár a najvyšší kňaz a poviazali do mieškov a odvážiac spočítali peniaze, ktoré sa našly v dome Hospodinovom.

¹⁰And it came to pass when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they tied up and counted the money that was found in the house of Jehovah.

¹¹A tak dávali peniaze už odvážené do rúk tým, ktorí konali prácu, tým, ktorí boli ustanovení nad prácou v dome Hospodinovom, a oni ich vydávali tesárom a staviteľom, ktorí pracovali na dome Hospodinovom,

¹¹And they gave the money, weighed out into the hands of them that did the work, who were appointed over the house of Jehovah; and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders that wrought upon the house of Jehovah,

¹²a murárom a kameniarom a na zakúpenie dreva a tesaných kameňov, aby opravili trhliny domu Hospodinovho, a na všetko, čo išlo na dom, na jeho opravu.

¹²and to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the breaches of the house of Jehovah, and for all that had to be laid out on the house for repairs.

¹³Avšak nerobily sa pre dom Hospodinov strieborné misy, nože, čaše, trúby, nijaké nádoby zo zlata ani nádoby zo striebra, z peňazí, ktoré sa donášaly do domu Hospodinovho,

¹³However there were not made for the house of Jehovah basons of silver, knives, bowls, trumpets, nor any utensil of gold or utensil of silver, of the money that was brought [into] the house of Jehovah;

¹⁴ale ich dávali tým, ktorí konali prácu a opravovali za ne dom Hospodinov.

¹⁴but they gave that to the workmen, and repaired the house of Jehovah with it.

¹⁵A ani neúčtovali s mužmi, ktorým dávali peniaze do rúk, aby ich vydávali tým, ktorí konali prácu, lebo verne konali.

¹⁵And they did not reckon with the men into whose hand they gave the money to be bestowed on workmen; for they dealt faithfully.

¹⁶Peniaze z obetí za vinu a peniaze z obetí za hriechy neboly vnášané do domu Hospodinovho; boly pre kňazov.

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

¹⁷Vtedy bol vyšiel hore Hazael, sýrsky kráľ, a bojoval proti Gátu a zaujal ho. Potom obrátil Hazael svoju tvár, aby išiel i hore proti Jeruzalemu.

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

¹⁸A Joas, judský kráľ, pobral všetky posvätné veci, ktoré zasvätil Jozafat, Jehorám a Achaziáš, jeho otcovia, judskí kráľovia, i svoje vlastné posvätné veci i všetko zlato, ktoré sa našlo v pokladoch domu Hospodinovho i v dome kráľovom, a poslal Hazaelovi, sýrskemu kráľovi, a tak odišiel od Jeruzalema.

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 found in the treasures of the house of Jehovah and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria; and he went away from Jerusalem.

¹⁹A ostatné deje Joasove a všetko, čo robil, či nie je to napísané v knihe letopisov kráľov Júdových?

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?

²⁰A povstanúc jeho služobníci sprisahali sa a zabili Joasa v dome Millo, kade sa ide dolu do Silla,

²⁰And his servants rose up and made a conspiracy, and smote Joash in the house of Millo, at the descent of Silla.

²¹totiž Jozachar, syn Šimeaty, a Jehozabad, syn Šomerov, jeho služobníci ho zabili, a zomrel. A pochovali ho s jeho otcami v meste Dávidovom, a kraľoval Amaziáš, jeho syn, miesto neho.

²¹And 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.
