Четвертая книга Царств 12

1 В лето седмое Ииуа воцарися Иоас, и четыредесять лет царствова во Иерусалиме. Имя же матере его Савиа от Вирсавеи.

In the seventh year of Jehu, the reign of Joash began; he reigned for forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zibiah, of Beersheba.

2 И сотвори Иоас правое пред Господем во вся дни, в няже просвети его Иодай иерей:

Joash did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh all the time, because Jehoiada the priest was instructing him.

3 обаче высоких не преставиша, и тамо еще людие жряху и кадяху на высоких.

But the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.

4 И рече Иоас к жерцем: все сребро святых вносимое в дом Господень, сребро оценения, муж сребро взявый оценения, все сребро, еже аще взыдет на сердце мужа внести в дом Господень,

Joash said to the priests, “All the money that is brought in as sacred offerings into the house of Yahweh, that money for which each person is assessed—whether it is the money collected in the census, or the money received from personal vows, or the money brought in by people motivated by Yahweh in their hearts to give—

5 да возмут себе жерцы, муж от продания своего, и тии да укрепят ведек дому во всех, идеже аще обрящется ведек.

the priests should receive the money from one of their treasurers and repair whatever damage is found in the temple.”

6 И бысть в двадесять третие лето царя Иоаса, не укрепиша жерцы ведека храма:

But by the twenty-third year of King Joash, the priests had not repaired anything in the temple.

7 и призва царь Иоас Иодая жерца и жерцы, и рече к ним: что яко не укреписте ведека храма? И ныне не приимайте сребра от продажей ваших, яко на ведек храма дасте е.

Then King Joash called for Jehoiada the priest and for the other priests; he said to them, “Why have you not repaired anything in the temple? Now take no more money from your taxpayers, but take what has been collected for repairs of the temple and give it to those who can make the repairs.”

8 И совещашася жерцы не приимати сребра от людий и не укрепляти ведека храма.

So the priests consented to take no more money from the people and not repair the temple themselves.

9 И взя Иодай жрец кивот един, и сотвори в нем скважню, и положи его при олтари одесную входящих мужей в дом Господень: и влагаху тамо жерцы хранящии дверь все сребро приносимое в дом Господень.

Instead, Jehoiada the priest took a chest, bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of Yahweh. The priests who were guarding the temple entrance put into it all the money that was brought to the house of Yahweh.

10 И бысть егда увидеша, яко много сребра в ковчезе, и взыде писчий царев, и жрец великий, и сребросечцы и открыша, и сочтоша сребро обретшееся в дому Господни:

Whenever they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king's scribe and the high priest would come and put the money in bags and then count it, the money found in the temple of Yahweh.

11 и даша сребро уготованное в руце творящих дела на сосуды дому Господня: и раздаша древоделем и делателем зиждущым в дому Господни,

They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of men who took care of the temple of Yahweh. They paid it out to the carpenters and the builders who worked on the temple of Yahweh,

12 и стеноделателем, и художником, и секущым камения на купление древес, и камения тесанаго на строение ведека дому Господня, на вся елика иждивена быша на утверждение храма.

and to the masons and the stonecutters, for buying timber and cutting stone to repair the temple of Yahweh, and for all that was needed to be paid to repair it.

13 Обаче не творишася храму Господню двери сребряны, гвоздие, фиалы и трубы, ни вси сосуды златы, и сосуды сребряны от сребра принесеннаго в дом Господень:

But the money that was brought into the house of Yahweh did not pay to make for it any silver cups, lamp trimmers, basins, trumpets, or any gold or silver furnishing.

14 понеже творящым дела дадеся сие, и утвердиша тем дом Господень.

They gave this money to those who did the work of repairing the house of Yahweh.

15 И не сочитаху мужей, имже даяху сребро в руки, даяти творящым дела, зане верно творяху.

In addition, they did not require the money paid for repairs to be accounted for by the men who received it and paid it to the workmen, because these men were honest.

16 Сребро за грехи и сребро за преступление, елико внесено бысть в дом Господень, жерцем бысть.

But the money for the guilt offerings and the money for the sin offerings was not brought into the temple of Yahweh, because it belonged to the priests.

17 Тогда взыде Азаил царь Сирский и воева на Геф, и взя его Азаил и разби его: и обрати Азаил лице свое взыти на Иерусалим.

Then Hazael king of Aram attacked and fought against Gath, and took it. Hazael then turned to attack Jerusalem.

18 И взя Иоас царь Иудин вся святая, елика освяти Иосафат и Иорам и Охозиа, отцы его и царие Иудины, и святая его, и все злато обретшееся в сокровищих дому Господня и дому царева, и посла Азаилу царю Сирску, и отиде от Иерусалима.

Joash king of Judah took all the things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had set apart, and what he had set apart, and all the gold that was found in the storerooms of the houses of Yahweh and of the king and he sent them to Hazael king of Aram. Then Hazael went away from Jerusalem.

19 И прочая словес Иоасовых, и вся елика сотвори, не се ли, сия писана в книзе словес дний царей Иудиных?

As for the other matters concerning Joash, all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?

20 И восташа отроцы его, и совещаша всяк совет, и убиша Иоаса в доме Маллони, иже в Саале.

His servants arose and plotted together; they attacked Joash in Beth Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla.

21 И Иезехар сын Иемуафов, и Иезевуф сын Сомиров, раби его убиша его, и умре, и погребоша его со отцы его во граде Давидове. И воцарися Амессиа сын его вместо его.

Jozabad son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad son of Shomer, his servants, attacked him, and he died. They buried Joash with his ancestors in the city of David, and Amaziah, his son, became king in his place.
