Anden Kongebog 12
1 I Jehus syvende Regeringsår blev Joas Konge, og han herskede fyrretyveÅr i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Zibja og var fra Be'ersjeba.
In the seventh year of Jehu, began Jehoash to reign, and, forty years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.
2 Joas gjorde hele sit Liv, hvad der var ret i HERRENs Øjne, idet Præsten Jojada vejledede ham.
And Jehoash did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh all his days, —whereunto, Jehoiada the priest, instructed him:
3 Hun forsvandt Offerhøjene ikke, men Folket blev ved med at ofre og tænde Offerild på Højene.
save only, that, the high places, took they not away, —still were the people sacrificing and burning incense in the high places.
4 Joas sagde til Præsterne: "Alle Penge, der indkommer i HERRENs Hus som Helliggaver, de Penge, det pålægges at udrede efter Vurdering - de Penge, Personer vurderes til - og alle Penge, man efter Hjertets Tilskyndelse bringer til HERRENs Hus,
And Jehoash said unto the priests, —All the silver of the hallowed things, that is brought into the house of Yahweh—the silver of one who transgresseth, the silver of [their] persons by the estimate of, each one, —all the silver which it cometh into any man’s heart to bring into the house of Yahweh,
5 skal Præsterne tage imod, hver af sine Kendinge, og for dem skal de istandsætte de brøstfældige Steder på Templet, alle brøstfældige Steder, som findes."
let the priests take to them, every one from his acquaintance, —and let, them, repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever there may be found a breach.
6 Men i Kong Joas's tre og tyvende Regeringsår havde Præsterne endnu ikke istandsat de brøstfældige Steder på Templet.
But it came to pass, that, in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash, the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.
7 Da lod Kong Joas Præsten Jojada og de andre Præster kalde og sagde til dem: "Hvorfor istandsætter I ikke de brøstfældige Steder på Templet? Nu må I ikke mere tage mod Penge af eders Kendinge, men I skal afgive Pengene til Istandsættelse af de brøstfældige Steder på Templet!"
So King Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said unto them—Why are ye not repairing the breaches of the house? Now, therefore, do not take silver from your acquaintances, for, to [repair] the breaches of the house, ought ye to have given it?
8 Og Præsterne gik ind på ikke mere at modtage Penge af Folket, mod at de blev fri for at istandsætte de brøstfældige Steder på Templet.
The priests therefore consented, not to take silver from the people, and not to repair the breaches of the house.
9 Præsten Jojada tog så en Kiste, borede Hul i Låget og satte den ved Stenstøtten til højre for Indgangen til HERRENs Hus, og der lagde Præsterne, der holdt Vagt ved Dørtærskelen, alle de Penge, der indkom i HERRENs Hus.
Then took Jehoiada a certain chest, and bored a hole in the door thereof, —and set it beside the altar, on the right as one entereth into the house of Yahweh, and the priests that kept the entrance-hall, used to put therein—all the silver that was brought into the house of Yahweh.
10 Og når de så, at der var mange Penge i Kisten, kom Kongens Skriver og Ypperstepræsten op og bandt Pengene, som fandtes i HERRENs Hus, sammen og talte dem.
And it came to pass, when they saw that there was much silver in the chest, that the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and brought together and counted the silver that was found in the house of Yahweh;
11 Derpå gav man de afvejede Penge til dem, der stod for Arbejdet, dem, der havde Tilsyn med HERRENs Hus, og de udbetalte dem til Tømrerne og Bygningsmændene, der arbejdede på HERRENs Hus,
then used they to give the silver that had been weighed out, into the hands of the doers of the work, who had oversight of the house of Yahweh, —and they brought it forth, to the carpenters, and to the builders, who were working upon the house of Yahweh;
12 til Murerne og Stenhuggerne, eller brugte dem til Indkøb af Træ og tilhugne Sten til Istandsættelse af de brøstfældige Steder på HERRENs Hus og til at dække alle Udgifter ved Templets Istandsættelse.
and to the masons, and to the hewers of stone, and to buy timber, and hewn stone, for repairing the breaches of the house of Yahweh, —and to every one that went out upon the house, to repair it.
13 Derimod blev der for de Penge, der indkom i HERRENs Hus, hverken lavet Sølvfade eller Knive, Skåle, Trompeter eller nogen som helst anden Ting af Sølv eller Guld til HERRENs Hus;
Howbeit there were not made for the house of Yahweh, bowls of silver, snuffers, dashing basins, trumpets, any vessel of gold, or any vessel of silver, —out of the silver that was brought into the house of Yahweh;
14 men Pengene blev givet til dem, der stod for Arbejdet, og de brugte dem til Istandsættelsen af HERRENs Hus.
for, to the doers of the work, used they to give it; and so they repaired, therewith, the house of Yahweh.
15 Og man holdt ikke Regnskab med de Mænd, hvem Pengene overlodes til Udbetaling til Arbejderne, men de handlede på Tro og Love.
And they used not to reckon with the men into whose hands they gave the silver, to give it to the doers of the work, because, with faithfulness, were, they, dealing.
16 Men Skyldoffer- og Syndofferpengene blev ikke bragt til HERRENs Hus; de tilfaldt Præsterne.
Silver for guilt-offerings and silver for sin-offerings, was not brought into the house of Yahweh, —to the priests, they belonged.
17 På den Tid drog Kong Hazael af Aram op og belejrede og indtog Gat. Da han truede med at drage mod Jerusalem,
Then, came up Hazael, king of Syria, and fought against Gath, and captured it, —so Hazael set his face to go up against Jerusalem.
18 tog Kong Joas af Juda alle de Helliggaver, som hans Fædre, Judas Konger Josafat, Joram og Ahazja havde helliget, sine egne Helliggaver og alt det Guld, der fandtes i Skatkamrene i HERRENs Hus og Kongens Palads, og sendte det til Kong Hazael af Aram. Så opgav han Angrebet på Jerusalem og drog bort.
Therefore did Jehoash, king of Judah, take all the hallowed things which Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had hallowed, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasuries of the house of Yahweh and the house of the king, —and sent to Hazael king of Syria, so he went up from against Jerusalem.
19 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Joas, alt, hvad han udførte, står optegnet i Judas Kongers Krønike.
Now, the rest of the story of Joash, and all that he did, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
20 Men Joas's Hoffolk rejste sig og stiftede en Sammensværgelse og dræbte ham, engang han gik ned til Millos Hus.
And his servants arose and made a conspiracy, and smote Joash, in the house of Millo which teeth down to Silla.
21 Det var hans Hoffolk Jozakar, Sjimats Søn, og Jozabad, Sjomers Søn, der slog ham ibjel. Og man jordede ham hos hans Fædre i Davidsbyen; og hans Søn Amazjablev Konge i hans Sted.
Yea, Jozabar son of Shimeath and Jehozabad son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, that he died, and he was buried with his fathers, in the city of David, —and, Amaziah his son, reigned in his stead.
