约阿施做犹大王

12 耶户第七年,约阿施登基,在耶路撒冷做王四十年。他母亲名叫西比亚,是别是巴人。 约阿施在祭司耶何耶大教训他的时候,就行耶和华眼中看为正的事。 只是丘坛还没有废去,百姓仍在那里献祭烧香。

命修葺圣殿

约阿施对众祭司说:“凡奉到耶和华殿分别为圣之物所值通用的银子,或各人当纳的身价,或乐意奉到耶和华殿的银子, 你们当从所认识的人收了来,修理殿的一切破坏之处。” 无奈到了约阿施王二十三年,祭司仍未修理殿的破坏之处。 所以约阿施王召了大祭司耶何耶大和众祭司来,对他们说:“你们怎么不修理殿的破坏之处呢?从今以后,你们不要从所认识的人再收银子,要将所收的交出来,修理殿的破坏之处。” 众祭司答应不再收百姓的银子,也不修理殿的破坏之处。

祭司耶何耶大取了一个柜子,在柜盖上钻了一个窟窿,放于坛旁,在进耶和华殿的右边。守门的祭司将奉到耶和华殿的一切银子投在柜里。 10 他们见柜里的银子多了,便叫王的书记和大祭司上来,将耶和华殿里的银子数算,包起来。 11 把所平的银子交给督工的,就是耶和华殿里办事的人。他们把银子转交修理耶和华殿的木匠和工人, 12 并瓦匠、石匠,又买木料和凿成的石头修理耶和华殿的破坏之处,以及修理殿的各样使用。 13 但那奉到耶和华殿的银子没有用以做耶和华殿里的银杯、蜡剪、碗、号和别样的金银器皿, 14 乃将那银子交给督工的人修理耶和华的殿。 15 且将银子交给办事的人转交做工的人,不与他们算账,因为他们办事诚实。 16 唯有赎愆祭、赎罪祭的银子没有奉到耶和华的殿,都归祭司。

17 那时,亚兰哈薛上来攻打迦特,攻取了,就定意上来攻打耶路撒冷 18 犹大约阿施将他列祖犹大约沙法约兰亚哈谢所分别为圣的物和自己所分别为圣的物,并耶和华殿与王宫府库里所有的金子,都送给亚兰哈薛哈薛就不上耶路撒冷来了。

约阿施被弑

19 约阿施其余的事,凡他所行的,都写在《犹大列王记》上。 20 约阿施的臣仆起来背叛,在下悉拉米罗宫那里将他杀了, 21 杀他的那臣仆就是示米押的儿子约撒甲朔默的儿子约萨拔。众人将他葬在大卫城他列祖的坟地里。他儿子亚玛谢接续他做王。

유다의 8대 왕 요아스

12 이스라엘의 예후왕 7년에 요아스가 유다 왕이 되어 예루살렘에서 40년 을 통치하였다. 그리고 그의 어머니는 브엘세바 사람 시비아였다.

그는 제사장 여호야다의 교훈을 받는 동안 여호와께서 보시기에 옳은 일을 하였으나

산당을 헐지 않았으므로 백성들은 계속 거기서 제사를 지내며 분향하였다.

어느 날 요아스왕은 제사장들을 모아 놓고 이렇게 말하였다. “여러분은 여호와의 성전에 바치는 예물, 곧 정규적으로 거둬들이는 인두세와 서약으로 바치는 예물과 백성들이 자진해서 바치는 모든 돈을 모아

성전을 수리하는 데 사용하도록 하시오.”

그러나 요아스가 나라를 다스린 지 23년이 될 때까지 제사장들은 성전을 수리하지 않았다.

그래서 그는 여호야다와 다른 제사장들을 불러 물었다. “어째서 당신들은 성전을 수리하지 않았소? 이제부터 당신들이 거둬들인 돈을 보관하지 말고 다른 사람에게 넘겨 주어 성전 수리를 하게 하시오.”

그래서 제사장들은 백성들에게 돈을 직접 받지 않고 자기들이 성전을 직접 수리하지 않기로 합의하였다.

그때 제사장 여호야다는 상자 하나를 가져다가 뚜껑에 구멍을 뚫어 성전 정면의 우측 단 곁에 두었다. 그래서 성전 문을 지키는 제사장들은 백성들이 성전에 가져오는 모든 돈을 받아 그 헌금함 속에 넣었다.

10 그리고 헌금함에 돈이 많이 모이면 궁중 서기관과 대제사장이 올라와서 그 돈을 계산하여

11 성전 수리 담당자들에게 넘겨 주었다. 그러면 그들은 그 돈으로 목수와 건축자와

12 채석공의 임금을 주고 성전을 수리하는 데 필요한 목재와 돌을 사고 그 밖의 필요한 곳에 사용하였다.

13 그러나 여호와의 성전에 바친 돈은 은대접이나 불집게나 주발이나 나팔이나 그 밖의 금은 그릇을 만드는 데 쓰지 않고

14 오직 성전을 수리하는 데만 사용하였다.

15 그리고 성전 수리 담당자들이 아주 정직하게 일했기 때문에 회계 보고를 받을 필요가 없었다.

16 그러나 죄와 잘못을 씻는 속건제와 속죄제의 예물은 그 헌금함에 넣지 않고 제사장들에게 주어 쓰게 하였다.

17 그때 시리아의 하사엘왕이 가드를 공격하여 점령한 다음 예루살렘을 치려고 올라오자

18 요아스는 그의 선왕 여호사밧과 여호람과 아하시야가 여호와께 바친 모든 예물과 그리고 자기가 바친 예물까지 포함하여 성전과 왕궁에 있는 모든 금을 거두어 하사엘왕에게 선물로 보냈다. 그래서 하사엘은 자기 군대를 이끌고 예루살렘에서 물러갔다.

19 그 밖에 요아스가 행한 모든 일은 유다 왕들의 역사책에 기록되어 있다.

20-21 그러나 요아스의 두 신하, 시므앗의 아 들 요사갈과 소멜의 아들 여호사밧이 반란을 일으켜 실라로 내려가는 길가의 밀로궁에서 왕을 살해하였다. 그래서 요아스는 다윗성에 있는 그의 조상들의 묘에 장사되었고 그의 아들 아마샤가 왕위를 계승하였다.

约阿施做犹大王

12 以色列王耶户执政第七年,约阿施登基,在耶路撒冷执政四十年。他母亲叫西比亚,是别示巴人。 在耶何耶大祭司的教导下,约阿施一生做耶和华视为正的事。 但他没有拆毁丘坛,人们仍在那里献祭烧香。

约阿施对祭司们说:“你们要收集那些奉献到耶和华殿的圣银,即人口普查时收取的银子、个人还愿的银子和自愿奉献的银子。 每位祭司要从奉献的人手中收取银子,用来修殿。” 可是,直到约阿施执政第二十三年,祭司仍未动工。 约阿施召来耶何耶大祭司及其他祭司,对他们说:“你们为什么还不修殿呢?不要再向奉献的人收银子了,要把所收的银子交出来修殿。” 祭司们答应不再向民众收钱,但也不动工修殿。

耶何耶大祭司在耶和华殿的入口右边的祭坛旁放了一个箱子,箱盖上开了个洞。守门的祭司将奉献到耶和华殿的所有银子放进箱子里。 10 箱子里的银子多了,王的书记和大祭司就把银子点好,装在袋子里。 11 他们将称好的银子交给修耶和华殿的督工。督工把报酬转交给在殿里工作的木匠、建筑工人、 12 泥水匠和石匠,购买修耶和华殿用的木料和凿好的石头,并支付其他的修殿费用。 13 献到耶和华殿里的银子没有用于制造殿里的银碗、蜡剪、盆、号及其他金银器皿, 14 只用于修殿。 15 督工们办事忠诚可靠,不需要跟他们清算账目。 16 赎过祭和赎罪祭的银子没有带到耶和华的殿里,而是归给祭司。

17 那时,亚兰王哈薛攻陷了迦特,准备进攻耶路撒冷。 18 犹大王约阿施把先王约沙法、约兰、亚哈谢和他自己奉献的圣物以及耶和华殿里和王宫库房里的所有金子都送给了亚兰王哈薛,哈薛便从耶路撒冷退兵。

19 约阿施其他的事及其一切作为都记在犹大的列王史上。 20 约阿施的臣仆谋反,在去悉拉途中的米罗宫杀了他。 21 杀他的是示米押的儿子约撒甲和朔默的儿子约萨拔。约阿施葬在大卫城他的祖坟里。他儿子亚玛谢继位。

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.

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.
