Вторая книга Паралипоменон 24
1 Седми лет бе Иоас, егда царствовати нача, и четыредесять лет царствова во Иерусалиме. Имя же матери его Савиа от Вирсавеи.
Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah, of Beersheba.
2 Сотвори же Иоас угодное пред Господем во вся дни Иодаа священника.
Joash did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
3 И поят ему Иодай жены две, и родиша сыны и дщери.
Jehoiada took for him two wives, and he became the father of sons and daughters.
4 И бысть по сих, и взыде на сердце Иоасу, да возновит дом Господень.
After this, Joash intended to restore the LORD’s house.
5 И собра священники и левиты и рече им: идите во грады Иудины, и соберите от всего Израиля сребро ко обновлению храма Господня от лета до лета, и поспешно сотворите. Левити же не потщашася.
He gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, “Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather money to repair the house of your God from all Israel from year to year. See that you expedite this matter.” However the Levites didn’t do it right away.
6 И призва царь Иоас Иодаа началника и рече ему: почто не надсматрял еси левитов, еже принести от Иуды и от Иерусалима, еже уставлено есть от Моисеа человека Божия, егда собра Израиля в скинию свидения?
The king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, “Why haven’t you required of the Levites to bring in the tax of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the assembly of Israel, out of Judah and out of Jerusalem, for the Tent of the Testimony?”
7 Гофолиа бо бе нечестива, и сынове ея разориша дом Божий, яко святая дому Господня сотвориша Ваалиму.
For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up God’s house; and they also gave all the dedicated things of the LORD’s house to the Baals.
8 И повеле царь, да сотворят ковчежец и поставят при вратех Господних извне,
So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it outside at the gate of the LORD’s house.
9 и да проповедят во Иудеи и во Иерусалиме, приносити Господу, якоже устави Моисей раб Божий над Израилем в пустыни.
They made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for the LORD the tax that Moses the servant of God laid on Israel in the wilderness.
10 И даша вси началницы и вси людие, и вношаху и влагаху в ковчежец, дондеже наполнися.
All the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had filled it.
11 И бысть егда приношаху ковчежец к настоятелем царевым руками левитскими, и егда увидеша, яко умножися сребро, и прихождаше писарь царев и настоятель великаго жерца, и выбираху из ковчежца, и (паки) поставляху на место его: тако творяху от дне до дне, и собраша сребра много.
Whenever the chest was brought to the king’s officers by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king’s scribe and the chief priest’s officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
12 И вдаде е царь и Иодай жрец творящым дела на дело дому Господня: и наимаху каменосечцы и древодели, да устрояют дом Господень, и ковачы железу и меди, да укрепят дом Господень.
The king and Jehoiada gave it to those who did the work of the service of the LORD’s house. They hired masons and carpenters to restore the LORD’s house, and also those who worked iron and bronze to repair the LORD’s house.
13 И творяху творящии дела, и взыде долгота дел руками их, и возставиша дом Господень в состояние (прежнее) его, и укрепиша.
So the workmen worked, and the work of repairing went forward in their hands. They set up God’s house as it was designed, and strengthened it.
14 Егда же совершиша, принесоша ко царю и ко Иодаю останок сребра, из негоже сотвориша сосуды в дом Господень, сосуды в служение всесожжений, и кадилницы златыя и сребряныя, и приношаху всесожжения в дому Господни непрестанно, во вся дни Иодаевы.
When they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, from which were made vessels for the LORD’s house, even vessels with which to minister and to offer, including spoons and vessels of gold and silver. They offered burnt offerings in the LORD’s house continually all the days of Jehoiada.
15 И состареся Иодай исполнен дний, и умре сый ста тридесяти лет внегда скончатися ему:
But Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died. He was one hundred and thirty years old when he died.
16 и погребоша его во граде Давидове со царми, понеже сотвори благое со Израилем и с Богом и с домом Его.
They buried him in David’s city amongst the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and towards God and his house.
17 И бысть по скончании Иодаеве, внидоша началницы Иудины и поклонишася царю: тогда послуша их царь.
Now after the death of Jehoiada, the princes of Judah came and bowed down to the king. Then the king listened to them.
18 И оставиша церковь Господа Бога отец своих и служаху Астарте и истуканным: и бысть гнев (Господень) на Иуду и Иерусалим в день той.
They abandoned the house of the LORD, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherah poles and the idols, so wrath came on Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness.
19 И посла к ним пророки, да обратятся ко Господу, и не послушаша: и засвидетелствова им, и не покоришася.
Yet he sent prophets to them to bring them again to the LORD, and they testified against them; but they would not listen.
20 И Дух Божий облече Азарию священника сына Иодаева, и ста пред людьми и рече им: сия глаголет Господь: почто преступаете повеления Господня? Не поспешится вам, яко остависте Господа, и оставит вас.
The Spirit of God came on Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said to them, “God says, ‘Why do you disobey the LORD’s commandments, so that you can’t prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, he has also forsaken you.’”
21 И нападоша на него и побиша и камением по повелению Иоаса царя, во дворе дому Господня.
They conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the LORD’s house.
22 И не воспомяну Иоас царь милосердия, еже сотвори Иодай отец его с ним, но уби сына его: иже, егда умираше, рече: да видит и судит Господь.
Thus Joash the king didn’t remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. When he died, he said, “May the LORD look at it, and repay it.”
23 И бысть по скончании лета, воста на него сила Сирская, и прииде на Иуду и на Иерусалим, и убиша вся началники в людех в церкви, и весь плен их послаша ко царю в Дамаск:
At the end of the year, the army of the Syrians came up against him. They came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from amongst the people, and sent all their plunder to the king of Damascus.
24 зане в малых мужех прииде сила Сирская, и Бог предаде в руце их силу многу зело, зане оставиша Господа Бога отец своих: и на Иоаса сотвори суд.
For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men; and the LORD delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers. So they executed judgement on Joash.
25 И по отшествии их от него, оставлену ему сущу в болезнех великих, и нападоша на него раби его за кровь священника сына Иодаева, и убиша его на постели его, и умре: и погребоша его во граде Давидове, но не погребоша его во гробех царских.
When they had departed from him (for they left him seriously wounded), his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed, and he died. They buried him in David’s city, but they didn’t bury him in the tombs of the kings.
26 Нападшии же на него, Завед сын Семаафов Амманитянин и Иозавед сын Самарифов Моавитянин,
These are those who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
27 и сынове его вси, и приступиша к нему пять. И прочая словес его, се, написана в летописце царстем. И воцарися Амасиа сын его вместо его.
Now concerning his sons, the greatness of the burdens laid on him, and the rebuilding of God’s house, behold, they are written in the commentary of the book of the kings. Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
