历代志下 24
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
犹大王约阿施
24 约阿施七岁登基,在耶路撒冷执政四十年。他母亲叫西比亚,是别示巴人。 2 耶何耶大祭司在世之日,约阿施做耶和华视为正的事。 3 耶何耶大为他娶了两个妻子,她们都为他生儿育女。
4 之后,约阿施有意整修耶和华的殿, 5 便召集祭司和利未人,对他们说:“你们到犹大各城去向所有以色列人征收银子,用来作每年整修你们上帝殿的费用。你们要立刻办理这事。”可是,利未人没有立刻办理。 6 王就召来耶何耶大大祭司,问他:“你为什么不吩咐利未人到耶路撒冷和犹大去收税呢?这税是耶和华的仆人摩西和以色列的会众定的,以备圣幕之用。” 7 因为恶妇亚她利雅的爪牙曾闯入耶和华上帝的殿,拿殿里的圣物去供奉巴力。
8 于是,王下令造一个箱子,放在耶和华殿的门外, 9 通告犹大和耶路撒冷的人民要将上帝的仆人摩西在旷野为以色列人定的税带来献给耶和华。 10 全体首领和民众都高高兴兴地把银子带来投进箱子里,直到箱子满了。 11 利未人见箱子满了,就抬到王的官员那里。王的书记和大祭司的属下会把箱子倒空,然后把箱子放回原处。日复一日,他们收了很多银子。 12 王与耶何耶大把银子交给耶和华殿里的办事人员,他们就雇用石匠、木匠、铁匠和铜匠来整修耶和华的殿。 13 工人辛勤整修,工程进展顺利,上帝的殿恢复了原貌,而且非常坚固。 14 完工后,他们把剩余的银子交给王与耶何耶大,这些银子被用来制造耶和华殿里的器具:供奉和献祭用的器皿、碟子和其他金银器皿。耶何耶大在世之日,民众常在耶和华的殿里献燔祭。
耶何耶大的政策被废弃
15 耶何耶大寿终正寝,享年一百三十岁。 16 民众把他葬在大卫城的王陵里,因为他在以色列为上帝和上帝的殿做了美善的事。
17 耶何耶大死后,犹大众首领来朝拜王,王对他们言听计从。 18 他们离弃他们祖先的上帝耶和华的殿,去供奉亚舍拉神像及其他偶像。因他们所犯的罪,上帝的烈怒临到犹大和耶路撒冷。 19 但耶和华仍然派先知到他们中间,引导他们归向祂。先知警告他们,他们却不听。
20 上帝的灵感动了耶何耶大祭司的儿子撒迦利亚,他便站在高处对民众说:“耶和华上帝这样说,‘你们为什么违反耶和华的诫命,以致不得亨通呢?既然你们背弃我,我也必离弃你们。’” 21 他们想谋害撒迦利亚,就照着王的命令,在耶和华殿的院子里用石头打死了他。 22 约阿施王不但不顾念撒迦利亚的父亲耶何耶大对他的恩惠,还杀死了耶何耶大的儿子。撒迦利亚临死的时候说:“愿耶和华鉴察,为我申冤!”
约阿施被杀
23 当年年底,亚兰的军兵前来攻击约阿施,入侵犹大和耶路撒冷,杀了民众的所有首领,把战利品全都送到大马士革王那里。 24 虽然亚兰军只来了一小队,但耶和华把大队的犹大军兵交在他们手中,以惩罚约阿施,因为犹大人背弃了他们祖先的上帝耶和华。
25 亚兰人退兵的时候,约阿施受了重伤,他的臣仆叛变,把他杀死在床上,为耶何耶大祭司的儿子报了血仇。约阿施死后葬在大卫城,但没有葬在王陵里。 26 杀他的是亚扪妇人示米押的儿子撒拔和摩押妇人示米利的儿子约萨拔。 27 至于约阿施的众子、他所受的警告以及他整修上帝殿的事都记在列王史上。他儿子亚玛谢继位。
2 Cronica 24
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ipinaayos ni Joash ang Templo(A)
24 Si Joash ay pitong taong gulang nang maging hari. Sa Jerusalem siya tumira, at naghari siya roon sa loob ng 40 taon. Ang ina niya ay si Zibia na taga-Beersheba. 2 Matuwid ang ginawa ni Joash sa paningin ng Panginoon sa buong buhay ng paring si Jehoyada. 3 Pumili si Jehoyada ng dalawang asawa para sa kanya, at nagkaroon siya ng mga anak na lalaki at babae.
4 Pagkalipas ng ilang panahon, nagpasya si Joash na ipaayos ang templo. 5 Ipinatawag niya ang mga pari at mga Levita, at sinabi, “Pumunta kayo sa mga bayan ng Juda at kolektahin nʼyo ang mga buwis ng Israelita bawat taon, para maipaayos natin ang templo ng ating Dios.” Pero hindi agad sumunod ang mga Levita.
6 Kaya ipinatawag ni Haring Joash si Jehoyada, ang punong pari, at tinanong, “Bakit hindi mo kinolekta sa mga Levita ang buwis ng mga mamamayan ng Juda at ng Jerusalem? Hindi ba nag-utos si Moises sa mamamayan ng Israel na ibigay nila ito para sa Tolda ng Kahon ng Kasunduan?”
7 Ang mga anak ng masamang babaeng si Atalia ay pumasok noon sa templo ng Dios at nanguha ng mga banal na kagamitan para gamitin sa pagsamba kay Baal. 8 Kaya nag-utos si Haring Joash na gumawa ng kahon na paglalagyan ng pera, at ilagay ito sa labas ng pintuan ng templo. 9 Pagkatapos, naglabas siya ng pabalita sa Juda at sa Jerusalem, na kailangang dalhin ng mga tao sa Panginoon ang kanilang buwis ayon sa iniutos ni Moises sa mamamayan ng Israel sa disyerto. 10 Masayang nagbigay ang lahat ng opisyal at tao. Inihulog nila ang kanilang pera sa kahon hanggang mapuno ito.
11 Kapag puno na ang kahon, dinadala ito ng mga Levita sa mga opisyal ng hari. Pagkatapos, binibilang ito ng kalihim ng hari at ang opisyal ng punong pari, at ibinabalik nila ang kahon sa pintuan ng templo. Ginagawa nila ito araw-araw hanggang sa dumami ang koleksyon. 12 Pagkatapos, ibinigay nina Haring Joash at Jehoyada ang pera sa mga tao na namamahala sa pag-aayos ng templo ng Panginoon. At kumuha sila ng mga karpintero at manggagawang mahusay sa bakal at tanso. 13 Napakasipag ng mga itinalaga sa mga trabaho, kaya naging mabilis ang paggawa. Naayos nila ang templo ng Dios ayon sa orihinal na disenyo at mas pinatatag pa ito. 14 Nang matapos ang trabaho, isinauli nila sa hari at kay Jehoyada ang sobrang pera at ginamit ito sa paggawa ng mga kagamitan sa templo ng Panginoon – ang mga ginagamit sa pagsamba, sa pag-aalay ng mga handog na sinusunog, pati na ang mga mangkok at mga sisidlan na ginto at pilak. At habang nabubuhay si Jehoyada, nagpatuloy ang pag-aalay ng mga handog na sinusunog sa templo ng Panginoon.
15 Nabuhay si Jehoyada nang mahabang taon, at namatay siya sa edad na 130. 16 Inilibing siya sa libingan ng mga hari sa Lungsod ni David, dahil sa mabubuting ginawa niya sa Israel para sa Dios at sa kanyang templo.
17 Pero pagkatapos mamatay ni Jehoyada, pumunta ang mga opisyal ng Juda kay Haring Joash at hinimok siyang makinig sa kanila. 18 Nagpasya sila na pabayaan na lang ang templo ng Panginoon, ang Dios ng kanilang mga ninuno, at sumamba sa posteng simbolo ng diosang si Ashera at sa iba pang mga dios-diosan. Dahil sa ginawa nila, nagalit ang Dios sa Juda at sa Jerusalem. 19 Nagpadala ang Panginoon ng mga propeta sa mga tao para pabalikin sila sa kanya, pero hindi sila nakinig.
20 Si Zacarias na anak ni Jehoyada na pari ay pinuspos ng Espiritu ng Dios. Tumayo siya sa harapan ng mga tao at nagsabi, “Ito ang sinabi ng Dios: Bakit hindi nʼyo sinusunod ang mga utos ng Panginoon? Hindi kayo uunlad kailanman. Dahil itinakwil nʼyo ang Panginoon, itatakwil din niya kayo.”
21 Nagplano ang mga opisyal na patayin si Zacarias. At sa utos ng hari, binato nila si Zacarias sa loob ng bakuran ng templo ng Panginoon, at namatay ito. 22 Kinalimutan ni Haring Joash ang kabutihang ipinakita sa kanya ni Jehoyada, na ama ni Zacarias. Sa halip, pinatay niya si Zacarias. Ito ang sinabi ni Zacarias nang naghihingalo na siya, “Sanaʼy pansinin ng Panginoon ang inyong ginawa, at singilin niya kayo.”
23 Nang simula ng bagong taon, nilusob ng mga sundalo ng Aram ang Juda. Natalo nila ang Juda at ang Jerusalem, at pinatay nila ang mga pinuno ng Juda. At dinala nila sa kanilang hari sa Damascus ang lahat ng kanilang nasamsam. 24 Kakaunti lang ang mga sundalo ng Aram na lumusob kung ihahambing sa mga sundalo ng Juda. Pero ipinatalo sa kanila ng Panginoon ang Juda, dahil itinakwil nila ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng kanilang mga ninuno. Kaya dumating ang parusang ito kay Joash.
25 Pag-alis ng mga taga-Aram, malubha ang mga sugat ni Joash. Pero nagplano ang kanyang mga opisyal na patayin siya dahil sa pagpatay niya sa anak ni Jehoyada na pari. Kaya pinatay nila siya sa kanyang higaan. Inilibing siya sa Lungsod ni David, pero hindi sa libingan ng mga hari.
26 Ang mga pumatay sa kanya ay sina Zabad na anak ng isang babaeng Ammonita na si Shimeat, at si Jehozabad na anak ng isang babaeng Moabita na si Shimrit. 27 Ang salaysay tungkol sa mga anak ni Joash, sa mga propesiya tungkol sa kanya, at sa pagpapaayos ng templo ng Dios ay nakasulat sa Aklat ng Kasaysayan ng mga Hari. At ang anak niyang si Amazia ang pumalit sa kanya bilang hari.
2 Chroniques 24
La Bible du Semeur
Les débuts du règne de Joas(A)
24 Joas était âgé de sept ans lorsqu’il devint roi. Il régna quarante ans à Jérusalem. Sa mère se nommait Tsibia, elle était originaire de Beer-Sheva. 2 Joas fit ce que l’Eternel considère comme juste pendant toute la vie du prêtre Yehoyada. 3 Celui-ci lui fit épouser deux femmes qui lui donnèrent des fils et des filles.
La réfection du Temple
4 Plus tard, Joas eut à cœur de restaurer le temple de l’Eternel[a]. 5 Il convoqua les prêtres et les lévites et leur dit : Allez parcourir les villes de Juda, et collectez chaque année dans tout Israël de l’argent pour réparer le temple de votre Dieu ! Menez promptement cette affaire !
Mais les lévites laissèrent traîner les choses. 6 Le roi convoqua le grand-prêtre Yehoyada et lui demanda : Pourquoi n’as-tu pas demandé aux lévites de percevoir des habitants de Juda et de Jérusalem l’impôt fixé par Moïse[b], serviteur de l’Eternel, à l’assemblée d’Israël, pour la tente où se trouvait l’acte de l’alliance ? 7 En effet, la perverse Athalie et ses partisans ont forcé l’entrée du temple de Dieu et ils ont même utilisé pour le culte des Baals tous les objets sacrés du temple de l’Eternel.
8 Sur ordre du roi, on fabriqua un coffre que l’on plaça près de l’entrée du temple de l’Eternel, à l’extérieur. 9 On fit proclamer dans Juda et dans Jérusalem qu’il fallait apporter à l’Eternel la contribution imposée à Israël par Moïse, serviteur de l’Eternel, dans le désert. 10 Tous les dirigeants et tout le peuple s’en réjouirent : ils apportèrent de l’argent et le mirent dans le coffre jusqu’à ce qu’il fût plein. 11 Lorsque venait le moment pour les lévites de l’apporter à l’inspection royale, et que l’on constatait qu’il y avait beaucoup d’argent, le secrétaire du roi et le commissaire du grand-prêtre venaient le vider, puis les lévites le prenaient pour le rapporter à sa place. On fit ainsi chaque jour et l’on collecta beaucoup d’argent. 12 Le roi et Yehoyada le remettaient à l’entrepreneur qui accomplissait les travaux de restauration du temple de l’Eternel, et ils payèrent des tailleurs de pierres et des charpentiers pour restaurer le temple de l’Eternel, ainsi que des artisans travaillant le fer et le bronze, pour faire des réparations dans le temple de l’Eternel. 13 Les entrepreneurs se mirent au travail et les réparations progressèrent par leurs soins. Ils remirent le Temple en état et le consolidèrent. 14 Lorsqu’ils eurent terminé les travaux, ils rapportèrent au roi et à Yehoyada le reste de l’argent. On l’utilisa pour fabriquer des objets pour le service du Temple et divers accessoires pour le culte et pour les holocaustes : coupes et autres ustensiles d’or et d’argent. Pendant toute la vie de Yehoyada, on offrit continuellement des holocaustes dans le temple de l’Eternel.
15 Yehoyada devint vieux et mourut rassasié de jours, à l’âge de cent trente ans. 16 On l’enterra dans la Cité de David avec les rois, parce qu’il avait agi pour le bien en Israël, pour la cause de Dieu et de son temple.
Idolâtrie et meurtre
17 Après la mort de Yehoyada, les dirigeants de Juda vinrent se prosterner devant le roi qui les écouta. 18 Ils délaissèrent le temple de l’Eternel, le Dieu de leurs ancêtres, et ils rendirent un culte aux Ashéras et aux idoles. Par cette conduite coupable, ils provoquèrent la colère de l’Eternel contre Juda et Jérusalem. 19 L’Eternel envoya parmi eux des prophètes pour les faire revenir à lui. Ces prophètes protestèrent contre eux, mais personne ne les écouta. 20 Alors l’Esprit de Dieu se saisit de Zacharie, fils du prêtre Yehoyada, il se présenta devant le peuple et dit : Voici ce que Dieu vous déclare : « Pourquoi enfreignez-vous les commandements de l’Eternel ? Vous ne réussirez rien ! Puisque vous avez abandonné l’Eternel, il vous a abandonnés. »
21 Alors les gens complotèrent contre lui et on le lapida sur ordre du roi dans le parvis du temple de l’Eternel[c].
22 Ainsi le roi Joas oublia toute la bienveillance dont Yehoyada, le père de Zacharie, avait fait preuve envers lui, et il fit tuer son fils. Zacharie dit en mourant : Que l’Eternel voie et qu’il fasse rendre compte !
Le châtiment et la fin de Joas(B)
23 A la fin de l’année, l’armée syrienne vint attaquer Joas. Les Syriens envahirent Juda et Jérusalem. Ils massacrèrent tous les dirigeants du peuple et envoyèrent tout le butin au roi de Damas. 24 Les Syriens étaient venus avec un petit nombre d’hommes, et cependant, l’Eternel leur donna la victoire sur une armée considérable de Judéens, parce que ceux-ci avaient abandonné l’Eternel, le Dieu de leurs ancêtres. Ainsi les Syriens furent les instruments du jugement contre Joas. 25 A peine se furent-ils retirés de chez lui, en le laissant dans de grandes souffrances, que ses ministres conspirèrent contre lui, à cause du meurtre des fils[d] du prêtre Yehoyada ; ils l’assassinèrent dans son lit. Une fois mort, on l’enterra dans la Cité de David, mais pas dans les tombeaux des rois[e]. 26 Les auteurs du complot contre lui étaient Zabad, fils d’une femme ammonite nommée Shimeath, et Yehozabad, fils de Shimrith, une femme moabite. 27 La liste des fils de Joas, le texte des nombreux oracles prononcés contre lui et le récit de la restauration du Temple, tout cela est consigné dans les commentaires du livre des rois. Son fils Amatsia, lui succéda sur le trône.

2 Chronicles 24
King James Version
24 Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Zibiah of Beersheba.
2 And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
3 And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters.
4 And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to repair the house of the Lord.
5 And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it not.
6 And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the Lord, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?
7 For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house of the Lord did they bestow upon Baalim.
8 And at the king's commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the Lord.
9 And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the Lord the collection that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel in the wilderness.
10 And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.
11 Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
12 And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the Lord, and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the Lord, and also such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the Lord.
13 So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it.
14 And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of the Lord, even vessels to minister, and to offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Jehoiada.
15 But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.
16 And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and toward his house.
17 Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them.
18 And they left the house of the Lord God of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.
19 Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the Lord; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.
20 And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the Lord, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the Lord, he hath also forsaken you.
21 And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the Lord.
22 Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The Lord look upon it, and require it.
23 And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the host of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus.
24 For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men, and the Lord delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash.
25 And when they were departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases,) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings.
26 And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess.
27 Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens laid upon him, and the repairing of the house of God, behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
