Yoo'aash Oo Macbudkii Dib U Hagaajiyey

12 Oo Yehoo'aash wuxuu boqor noqday sannaddii toddobaad oo Yeehuu; oo afartan sannadood ayuu Yeruusaalem boqor ku ahaa; oo hooyadiis magaceeduna wuxuu ahaa Sibyaah tii reer Bi'ir Shebac. Oo Yehoo'aashna wuxuu sameeyey wixii Rabbiga hortiisa ku qummanaa wakhtigii uu wadaadkii Yehooyaadaac isaga baray oo dhan. Habase yeeshee meelihii sarsare lama baabbi'in; oo dadkuna meelihii sarsare weli way ku allabaryi jireen, fooxna way ku shidi jireen. Oo Yehoo'aash wuxuu ku yidhi wadaaddadii, Alaabta quduuska laga dhigay ee guriga Rabbiga la keenay lacagteeda oo dhan, taas oo ah lacagta nin waluba bixiyey markuu u gudbay kuwa la tiriyo, iyo lacagta kuwii lagu qiimeeyey, iyo lacagta nin kastaba qalbigiisa ka damcay inuu guriga Rabbiga keeno, wadaaddada nin waluba ha ka qaado kii uu yaqaan, oo ha ku dhiso meelaha guriga ka jajaban meel kasta oo meel jaban laga heloba. Laakiinse sannaddii saddex iyo labaatanaad oo Yehoo'aash wadaaddadii weli ma ay dhisin guriga meelihiisii jajabnaa. Markaasaa Boqor Yehoo'aash wuxuu u yeedhay wadaadkii Yehooyaadaac ahaa, iyo wadaaddadii kaleba, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War maxaad guriga meelihiisa jajaban u dhisi weydeen? Haddaba lacag dambe ha ka qaadanina dadka aad taqaaniin, laakiinse meelaha jajaban ee guriga aawadood ku bixiya. Oo wadaaddadiina waxay oggolaadeen inayan dadka lacag dambe ka qaadin, oo guriga meelihiisa jajabanna ayan dhisin. Laakiinse wadaadkii Yehooyaadaac ahaa ayaa intuu sanduuq qaaday daboolka ka dalooliyey oo wuxuu ag qotomiyey meeshii allabariga xagga midigta markii guriga Rabbiga la soo gelayo; oo wadaaddadii albaabka dhawri jiray ayaa ku riday lacagtii guriga Rabbiga la keenay oo dhan. 10 Oo markay arkeen in lacag badanu sanduuqii ku jirto ayaa waxaa yimid karraanigii boqorka iyo wadaadkii sare, oo kiishash bay ku gureen markay tiriyeen lacagtii laga helay gurigii Rabbiga. 11 Oo lacagtii la miisaamay ayay u dhiibeen kuwii shuqulka sameeyey, kuwaas oo guriga Rabbiga u talin jiray; oo waxay siiyeen nijaarradii iyo waxdhisayaashii ka shaqeeyey gurigii Rabbiga, 12 iyo wastaadyadii, iyo kuwii dhagaxyada qori jiray, waxayna u bixiyeen in lagu iibiyo alwaax iyo dhagaxyo la qoray si loogu dhiso meelihii guriga Rabbiga ka jajabnaa, iyo wax kasta oo loo bixiyey in guriga lagu dhiso. 13 Laakiinse lacagtii guriga Rabbiga la soo geliyey guriga Rabbiga looguma samayn koobab lacag ah, iyo alaab laambado lagu safeeyo, iyo maddiibado, iyo turumbooyin, iyo innaba weelal dahab ah amase weelal lacag ah, 14 waayo, waxay lacagtii siiyeen kuwii shuqulka sameeyey, oo waxay ku dhiseen gurigii Rabbiga. 15 Oo weliba lama ay xisaabtamin raggii ay lacagta u dhiibeen inay iyagu siiyaan nimankii shuqulka sameeyey, maxaa yeelay, waxay ku shaqeeyeen aaminnimo. 16 Oo lacagtii qurbaannada xadgudubka iyo lacagtii qurbaannada dembiga toona lama soo gelin gurigii Rabbiga; oo waxaa iska lahaa wadaaddada. 17 Markaasaa Xasaa'eel oo ahaa boqorkii Suuriya kacay oo wuxuu la diriray Gad, wuuna qabsaday. Kolkaasaa Xasaa'eel wuxuu u jeestay oo u kacay Yeruusaalem. 18 Markaasaa Yehoo'aash oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah wada qaaday alaabtii quduuska ahayd oo dhan, taasoo ay boqorradii dalka Yahuudah quduus ka dhigeen, iyagoo ahaa awowayaashiis Yehooshaafaad, iyo Yehooraam, iyo Axasyaah, iyo weliba isaga alaabtiisii quduuska ahayd, iyo kulli dahabkii laga helay khasnadihii guriga Rabbiga iyo gurigii boqorkaba, oo wuxuu u diray boqorkii Suuriya oo Xasaa'eel ahaa; oo isna Yeruusaalem wuu ka tegey. 19 Haddaba Yoo'aash falimihiisii kale iyo wixii uu sameeyey oo dhammu sow kuma qorna kitaabkii taariikhda boqorradii dalka Yahuudah? 20 Oo addoommadiisii intay ku kaceen ayay sirqooleen, oo waxay Yoo'aash ku dileen guriga Millo agtiisa oo ku ag yiil jidka u kaca xagga Sillaa. 21 Oo kuwii isagii dilay waxay ahaayeen addoommadiisii oo ahaa Yooskar oo ay Shimcaad dhashay iyo Yehoosaabaad oo ay Shomeer dhashay; wuuna dhintay, oo waxaa awowayaashiis lagula aasay magaaladii Daa'uud; oo meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii Amasyaah.

Joash Repairs the Temple(A)

12 [a]In the seventh year of Jehu, Joash[b](B) became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba. Joash did what was right(C) in the eyes of the Lord all the years Jehoiada the priest instructed him. The high places,(D) however, were not removed; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.

Joash said to the priests, “Collect(E) all the money that is brought as sacred offerings(F) to the temple of the Lord—the money collected in the census,(G) the money received from personal vows and the money brought voluntarily(H) to the temple. Let every priest receive the money from one of the treasurers, then use it to repair(I) whatever damage is found in the temple.”

But by the twenty-third year of King Joash the priests still had not repaired the temple. Therefore King Joash summoned Jehoiada the priest and the other priests and asked them, “Why aren’t you repairing the damage done to the temple? Take no more money from your treasurers, but hand it over for repairing the temple.” The priests agreed that they would not collect any more money from the people and that they would not repair the temple themselves.

Jehoiada the priest took a chest and bored a hole in its lid. He placed it beside the altar, on the right side as one enters the temple of the Lord. The priests who guarded the entrance(J) put into the chest all the money(K) that was brought to the temple of the Lord. 10 Whenever they saw that there was a large amount of money in the chest, the royal secretary(L) and the high priest came, counted the money that had been brought into the temple of the Lord and put it into bags. 11 When the amount had been determined, they gave the money to the men appointed to supervise the work on the temple. With it they paid those who worked on the temple of the Lord—the carpenters and builders, 12 the masons and stonecutters.(M) They purchased timber and blocks of dressed stone for the repair of the temple of the Lord, and met all the other expenses of restoring the temple.

13 The money brought into the temple was not spent for making silver basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, trumpets or any other articles of gold(N) or silver for the temple of the Lord; 14 it was paid to the workers, who used it to repair the temple. 15 They did not require an accounting from those to whom they gave the money to pay the workers, because they acted with complete honesty.(O) 16 The money from the guilt offerings(P) and sin offerings[c](Q) was not brought into the temple of the Lord; it belonged(R) to the priests.

17 About this time Hazael(S) king of Aram went up and attacked Gath and captured it. Then he turned to attack Jerusalem. 18 But Joash king of Judah took all the sacred objects dedicated by his predecessors—Jehoshaphat, Jehoram and Ahaziah, the kings of Judah—and the gifts he himself had dedicated and all the gold found in the treasuries of the temple of the Lord and of the royal palace, and he sent(T) them to Hazael king of Aram, who then withdrew(U) from Jerusalem.

19 As for the other events of the reign of Joash, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 20 His officials(V) conspired against him and assassinated(W) him at Beth Millo,(X) on the road down to Silla. 21 The officials who murdered him were Jozabad son of Shimeath and Jehozabad son of Shomer. He died and was buried with his ancestors in the City of David. And Amaziah his son succeeded him as king.

12 In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and forty years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.

And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him.

But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the Lord, even the money of every one that passeth the account, the money that every man is set at, and all the money that cometh into any man's heart to bring into the house of the Lord,

Let the priests take it to them, every man of his acquaintance: and let them repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach shall be found.

But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.

Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore receive no more money of your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house.

And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, neither to repair the breaches of the house.

But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the Lord: and the priests that kept the door put therein all the money that was brought into the house of the Lord.

10 And it was so, 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, and told the money that was found in the house of the Lord.

11 And they gave the money, being told, into the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of the Lord: and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders, that wrought upon the house of the Lord,

12 And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the Lord, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.

13 Howbeit there were not made for the house of the Lord bowls of silver, snuffers, basons, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the Lord:

14 But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired therewith the house of the Lord.

15 Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully.

16 The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of the Lord: it was the priests'.

17 Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it: and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.

18 And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, 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 Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.

19 And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

20 And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and slew Joash in the house of Millo, which goeth down to Silla.

21 For Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
