Otra Laiku 24

1 Joas bija septiņus gadus vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu, un valdīja četrdesmit gadus Jeruzālemē, un viņa mātei bija vārds Cibea, no Bēršebas.

Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he was ruling for forty years in Jerusalem: his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.

2 Un Joas darīja, kas Tam Kungam labi patika, kamēr priesteris Jojada dzīvoja.

And Joash did what was right in the eyes of the Lord as long as Jehoiada the priest was living.

3 Un Jojada tam ņēma divas sievas, un tās dzemdināja dēlus un meitas.

And Jehoiada took two wives for him, and he became the father of sons and daughters.

4 Pēc tam Joas apņēmās savā sirdī, atjaunot Tā Kunga namu.

Now after this Joash had a desire to put the house of the Lord into good order again;

5 Un viņš sapulcināja priesterus un Levitus un uz tiem sacīja: izejiet Jūda pilsētās un sakrājiet naudu no visa Israēla, atkal apkopt sava Dieva namu gadu no gada; un steidzaties ar šo lietu. Bet Leviti nesteidzās.

And getting together the priests and Levites, he said to them, Go out into the towns of Judah year by year, and get from all Israel money to keep the house of your God in good condition; and see that this is done without loss of time. The Levites, however, were slow in doing so.

6 Un ķēniņš aicināja augsto priesteri Jojadu, un uz to sacīja: kāpēc tu neesi raudzījis uz Levitiem, ka tiem no Jūda un Jeruzālemes bija sakrāt to meslu naudu, ko Mozus, Tā Kunga kalps, nospriedis, ka Israēla draudzei jādod priekš saiešanas telts?

Then the king sent for Jehoiada, the chief priest, and said to him, Why have you not given the Levites orders that the tax fixed by Moses, the servant of the Lord, and by the meeting of Israel, for the Tent of witness, is to be got in from Judah and Jerusalem and handed over?

7 Jo bezdievīgā Atalija un viņas dēli Dieva namu postījuši, un visas svētās dāvanas no Tā Kunga nama izlietojuši Baāliem.

For the house of the Lord had been broken up by Athaliah, that evil woman, and her sons; and all its holy things they had given to the Baals.

8 Tad ķēniņš pavēlēja taisīt šķirstu, un to likt ārā pie Tā Kunga nama vārtiem.

So at the king's order they made a chest and put it outside the doorway of the house of the Lord.

9 Un Jūdā un Jeruzālemē izsauca, lai Tam Kungam atnes meslu naudu, ko Mozus, tas Dieva kalps, Israēlim tuksnesi bija nospriedis.

And an order was sent out through all Judah and Jerusalem that payment was to be made to the Lord of the tax which Moses, the servant of God, had put on Israel in the waste land.

10 Tad visi lielkungi un visi ļaudis priecājās un atnesa un iemeta tai šķirstā, kamēr tas tapa pilns.

And all the chiefs and all the people came gladly and put their money into the chest, till they had all given.

11 Kad nu bija laiks, Levitiem šķirstu atnest pie ķēniņa celtiem uzraugiem, un kad redzēja, ka daudz naudas bija iekšā, tad ķēniņa skrīveris, un augstā priestera uzraugs, nāca un iztukšoja to šķirstu, un to ņēma un atkal nonesa savā vietā; tā tie darīja ikdienas un sakrāja daudz naudas.

So when the chest was taken to the king's servants by the Levites, and they saw that there was much money in it, the king's scribe and the chief priest's servant took the money out, and put the chest back in its place. They did this day by day, and got together a great amount of money.

12 Un ķēniņš un Jojada to deva tiem darba vedējiem pie Tā Kunga nama darba, un tie saderēja akmeņu cirtējus un amatniekus, Tā Kunga namu atjaunot, arī dzelzs un vara kalējus, atkal uzkopt Tā Kunga namu.

Then the king and Jehoiada gave it to those who were responsible for getting the work done on the Lord's house, and with it they got wall-builders and woodworkers and metal-workers to put the house of the Lord in good order again.

13 Un tie strādnieki darīja savu darbu un darbs veicās caur viņu roku, un tie Dieva namu atkal iztaisīja pareizi un to uzkopa.

So the workmen did their work, making good what was damaged and building up the house of God till it was strong and beautiful again.

14 Kad tie to nu bija pabeiguši, tad tie atnesa atlikušo naudu pie ķēniņa un Jojadas, un par to lika rīkus taisīt Tā Kunga namam, rīkus kalpošanai un upurēšanai un bļodas un zelta un sudraba traukus; un tie upurēja vienmēr dedzināmos upurus Tā Kunga namā, kamēr Jojada dzīvoja.

And when the work was done, they took the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada, and it was used for making the vessels for the house of the Lord, all the vessels needed for the offerings, the spoons and the vessels of gold and silver. And as long as Jehoiada was living, the regular burned offerings were offered in the house of the Lord.

15 Un Jojada palika vecs un bija savu laiku nodzīvojis un nomira; simts un trīsdesmit gadus viņš bija vecs, kad nomira.

But Jehoiada became old and full of days, and he came to his end; he was a hundred and thirty years old at the time of his death.

16 Un to apraka Dāvida pilī pie ķēniņiem, jo viņš Israēlim bija labu darījis, ir Dievam, ir viņa namam.

And they put him into his last resting-place in the town of David, among the kings, because he had done good in Israel for God and for his house.

17 Bet kad Jojada bija nomiris, tad Jūda lielkungi nāca un metās zemē ķēniņa priekšā; un ķēniņš uz tiem klausījās.

Now after the death of Jehoiada, the chiefs of Judah came and went down on their faces before the king. Then the king gave ear to them.

18 Un tie atstāja Tā Kunga, savu tēvu Dieva, namu, un kalpoja Ašerām un elkiem. Tad dusmība nāca pār Jūdu un Jeruzālemi šā viņu nozieguma dēļ.

And they gave up the house of the Lord God of their fathers, and became worshippers of pillars of wood and of the images; and because of this sin of theirs, wrath came on Judah and Jerusalem.

19 Un viņš tiem sūtīja praviešus, tos atkal atgriezt pie Tā Kunga, un tie gan deva liecību pret viņiem, bet šie savas ausis neatvēra.

And the Lord sent them prophets to make them come back to him; and they gave witness against them, but they would not give ear.

20 Bet Tā Kunga Gars nāca uz Zahariju, priestera Jojadas dēlu. Tas uzkāpa kādā augstā vietā ļaužu priekšā un uz tiem sacīja: tā Dievs saka: kāpēc jūs pārkāpjat Tā Kunga baušļus? Tas jums nebūs par labu! Jūs To Kungu esat atstājuši, Viņš jūs arīdzan atstās.

Then the spirit of God came on Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the priest, and, getting up before the people, he said to them, God has said, Why do you go against the orders of the Lord, so that everything goes badly for you? because you have given up the Lord, he has given you up.

21 Un tie cēlās pret viņu un to nomētāja akmeņiem pēc ķēniņa pavēles Tā Kunga nama pagalmā.

But when they had made a secret design against him, he was stoned with stones, by the king's order, in the outer square of the Lord's house.

22 Tā ķēniņš Joas nepieminēja to žēlastību, ko viņa tēvs Jojada tam bija parādījis, bet nokāva viņa dēlu. Un mirdams tas sacīja: Tas Kungs to redzēs un piemeklēs.

So King Joash did not keep in mind how good Jehoiada his father had been to him, but put his son to death. And in the hour of his death he said, May the Lord see it and take payment!

23 Kad nu gads bija pagājis, tad Sīriešu kara spēks cēlās pret viņu; un tie nāca pret Jūdu un Jeruzālemi un nogalināja no tiem ļaudīm visus ļaužu virsniekus, un sūtīja visu savu laupījumu Damaskus ķēniņam.

Now in the spring, the army of the Aramaeans came up against him; they came against Judah and Jerusalem, putting to death all the great men of the people and sending all the goods they took from them to the king of Damascus.

24 Un jebšu Sīriešu spēks mazā pulkā atnāca, taču Tas Kungs tiem nodeva rokā ļoti lielu kara spēku, tāpēc ka šie bija atstājuši To Kungu, savu tēvu Dievu; un Joasu tie sodīja.

For though the army of Aram was only a small one, the Lord gave a very great army into their hands, because they had given up the Lord, the God of their fathers. So they put into effect the punishment of Joash.

25 Un kad šie no viņa atkal aizgāja, (jo šie viņu pameta ļoti ievainotu, ) tad viņa kalpi pret viņu sacēlās priestera Jojadas bērnu asiņu dēļ, un to nokāva viņa gultā, ka tas nomira. Un to apraka Dāvida pilī, bet ķēniņa kapos to neraka.

And when they had gone away from him, (for he was broken with disease, ) his servants made a secret design against him because of the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and they put him to death on his bed; and they put his body into the earth in the town of David, but not in the resting-place of the kings.

26 Un šie ir, kas pret viņu bija sacēlušies: Zabads, Amonietes Zimeatas dēls, un Jozabads, Moabietes Zimrites dēls.

Those who made designs against him were Zabad, the son of Shimeath, an Ammonite woman, and Jehozabad, the son of Shimrith, a Moabite woman.

27 Bet viņa dēli un viņa meslu-naudas krājums un Dieva nama uzkopšana, redzi, tas viss rakstīts ķēniņu grāmatas rakstos. Un viņa dēls Amacīja palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā.

Now the story of his sons, and all the words said by the prophet against him, and the building up again of the Lord's house, are recorded in the account in the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son became king in his place.
