2 Raja-raja 12
1 Pada tahun ketujuh pemerintahan Yehu atas Israel, Yoas menjadi raja Yehuda. Ia memerintah di Yerusalem 40 tahun lamanya. Ibunya bernama Zibya dari kota Bersyeba.
In the seventh year of Jehu became Jehoash king; and forty years did he reign in Jerusalem; and the name of his mother was Zibyah of Beer-sheba'.
2 Berkat didikan Imam Yoyada, Yoas sepanjang hidupnya melakukan yang menyenangkan hati TUHAN.
And Jehoash did what is right in the eyes of the Lord all his days, that Yehoyada' the priest instructed him.
3 Hanya sayang, tempat penyembahan dewa tidak dimusnahkannya, sehingga rakyat masih mempersembahkan kurban dan membakar kemenyan di situ.
Only the high-places were not removed: the people as yet sacrificed and burnt incense on the high-places.
4 Pada suatu hari Yoas memanggil para imam dan menyuruh mereka menyimpan uang yang diperoleh dari persembahan-persembahan di Rumah TUHAN, baik uang pembayaran penyelenggaraan kurban, maupun uang pemberian sukarela.
And Jehoash said to the priests, all the money of the dedicated things that may be brought into the house of the Lord, the money of every one that passeth the numbering, the money any man is valued at, and all the money that cometh into any man's heart to bring into the house of the Lord,
5 Setiap imam harus bertanggung jawab atas uang yang dipersembahkan oleh orang-orang yang dilayaninya. Uang itu akan dipakai untuk memperbaiki kerusakan-kerusakan di Rumah TUHAN.
The priests shall take to themselves, every man from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach may be found.
6 Sampai pada tahun kedua puluh tiga pemerintah Yoas, para imam belum juga memperbaiki kerusakan di Rumah TUHAN.
But it happened, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.
7 Karena itu Yoas memanggil Imam Yoyada bersama imam-imam lainnya, dan berkata, "Mengapa kalian belum juga memperbaiki Rumah TUHAN? Mulai hari ini kalian tidak diizinkan menyimpan uang yang kalian terima. Semuanya harus kalian serahkan untuk memperbaiki Rumah TUHAN."
Then called king Jehoash for Yehoyada' the priest, and the [other] priests, and he said unto them, Wherefore do ye not repair the breaches of the house? and now ye shall take no more money from your acquaintances, but ye shall give it up [at once] for the breaches of the house.
8 Imam-imam setuju untuk tidak mengumpulkan uang dari rakyat, dan tidak pula bertanggung jawab atas perbaikan Rumah TUHAN.
And the priests consented neither to take any more money from the people, nor to repair the breaches of the house.
9 Maka Yoyada mengambil sebuah kotak dan membuat lubang pada tutupnya, lalu meletakkannya dekat mezbah di sebelah kanan pintu masuk Rumah TUHAN. Semua uang yang dipersembahkan di Rumah TUHAN dimasukkan ke dalam kotak itu oleh imam-imam yang bertugas di pintu masuk.
But Yehoyada' the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in its lid, and he placed it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the Lord: and the priests that kept watch at the threshold put therein all the money, that was brought into the house of the Lord.
10 Setiap kali bila uang di dalam kotak itu sudah banyak, sekretaris raja bersama Imam Agung datang dan menghitung uang itu, lalu membungkusnya.
And it happened, 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, after having counted, the money that was found in the house of the Lord.
11 Setelah jumlahnya dicatat, uang itu diserahkan kepada para pengawas pekerjaan perbaikan di Rumah TUHAN. Selanjutnya para pengawas itu membayar para tukang kayu, tukang bangunan,
And they gave the money, after it was counted, into the hands of those who overlooked the workmen, that had been appointed as overseers of the house of the Lord: and they laid it out to the carpenters and to the builders, that wrought on the house of the Lord,
12 tukang batu dan pemahat batu. Para pengawas itu juga yang membeli kayu dan batu, serta mengatur semua pengeluaran untuk perbaikan itu.
And to the masons, and the hewers of stone, and for the purchase of timber and hewn stones to repair the breaches of the house of the Lord, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
13 Tetapi uang itu sedikit pun tidak dipakai untuk pembuatan cangkir-cangkir perak, mangkuk, trompet, alat-alat pelita atau perkakas lainnya dari emas atau perak.
Nevertheless there were not made for the house of the Lord bowls of silver, knives, basins, trumpets, all kinds of vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, from the money that was brought into the house of the Lord;
14 Semuanya dibayarkan kepada tukang-tukang dan dibelikan bahan-bahan bangunan yang diperlukan.
But they gave it to those who overlooked the workmen, and they repaired therewith the house of the Lord.
15 Para pengawas pekerjaan itu jujur sekali, jadi tak perlu diminta laporan keuangan dari mereka.
And they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to give it to those who overlooked the workmen; for they acted in good faith.
16 Uang dari kurban ganti rugi dan dari kurban pengampunan dosa tidak dimasukkan ke dalam kotak itu. Uang itu diberikan kepada imam-imam.
The money for trespass-offerings and the money for sin-offerings was not brought into the house of the Lord: it belonged to the priests.
17 Pada masa itu Hazael raja Siria menyerang dan menduduki kota Gat. Lalu ia berniat menyerang Yerusalem juga.
At that time Chazael the king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and captured it: and Chazael directed his face to go up against Jerusalem.
18 Maka Yoas mengirim kepadanya uang tebusan. Uang itu diperolehnya dari semua persembahan yang dahulu telah diserahkan kepada TUHAN oleh Yoas sendiri, dan oleh Yosafat, Yoram serta Ahazia, yaitu raja-raja yang memerintah sebelum dia. Juga dari semua emas dalam kas Rumah TUHAN dan istana raja. Maka Hazael tidak jadi menyerang Yerusalem.
Then took Jehoash the king of Judah all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and Achazyahu, his fathers, the kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the king's house, and sent it to Chazael the king of Syria: and he withdrew from Jerusalem.
19 Kemudian pegawai-pegawai kerajaan Yehuda berkomplot melawan Raja Yoas. Dua orang dari antara mereka, yaitu Yozakar anak Simeat, dan Yozabad anak Somer, membunuh Yoas di sebuah rumah yang dibangun di atas tanah timbunan sebelah timur Yerusalem, di jalan turun ke Sila. Yoas dikubur di pekuburan raja-raja di Kota Daud. Amazia anaknya menjadi raja menggantikan dia. Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Yoas dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Yehuda.
And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
And his servants arose, and formed a conspiracy, and smote Joash in Beth-millo, which [lieth on the road] that goeth down to Silla.
And Yozachar the son of Shim'ath, and Yehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amazyah his son became king in his stead.
