历代志下 24
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
1约阿施 登基的时候年七岁，在 耶路撒冷 作王四十年。他母亲名叫 西比亚 ，是 别是巴 人。
1Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba.
2祭司 耶何耶大 在世的时候， 约阿施 行耶和华眼中看为正的事。
2And Joash did what was right in the eyes of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
3耶何耶大 为他娶了两个妻，并且生儿养女。
3Jehoiada took for himself two wives, and he had sons and daughters.
4此后， 约阿施 有意重修耶和华的殿，
4Some time later, Joash set his heart on repairing the house of the LORD.
5便召聚众祭司和 利未 人，吩咐他们说：「你们要往 犹大 各城去，使 以色列 众人捐纳银子，每年可以修理你们 神的殿；你们要急速办理这事。」只是 利未 人不急速办理。
5So he gathered the priests and Levites and said, “Go out to the cities of Judah and collect the money due annually from all Israel, to repair the house of your God. Do it quickly.” The Levites, however, did not make haste.
6王召了大祭司 耶何耶大 来，对他说：「从前耶和华的仆人 摩西 ，为法 柜 的帐幕与 以色列 会众所定的捐项，你为何不叫 利未 人 照这例 从 犹大 和 耶路撒冷 带来 作殿的费用呢 ？」（
6So the king called Jehoiada the high priest and said, “Why have you not required the Levites to bring from Judah and Jerusalem the tax imposed by Moses the servant of the LORD and by the assembly of Israel for the Tent of the Testimony?”
7因为那恶妇 亚她利雅 的众子曾拆毁 神的殿，又用耶和华殿中分别为圣的物供奉 巴力 。）
7For the sons of that wicked woman Athaliah had broken into the house of God and had even used the sacred objects of the house of the LORD for the Baals.
8于是王下令，众人做了一柜，放在耶和华殿的门外，
8At the king’s command a chest was made and placed outside, at the gate of the house of the LORD.
9又通告 犹大 和 耶路撒冷 的百姓，要将 神仆人 摩西 在旷野所吩咐 以色列 人的捐项给耶和华送来。
9And a proclamation was issued in Judah and Jerusalem that they were to bring to the LORD the tax imposed by Moses the servant of God on Israel in the wilderness.
10众首领和百姓都欢欢喜喜地将银子送来，投入柜中，直到捐完。
10All the officers and all the people rejoiced and brought their contributions, and they dropped them in the chest until it was full.
11利未 人见银子多了，就把柜抬到王所派的司事面前；王的书记和大祭司的属员来将柜倒空，仍放在原处。日日都是这样，积蓄的银子甚多。
11Whenever the chest was brought by the Levites to the king’s overseers and they saw that there was a large amount of money, the royal scribe and the officer of the high priest would come and empty the chest and carry it back to its place. They did this daily and gathered the money in abundance.
12王与 耶何耶大 将银子交给耶和华殿里办事的人，他们就雇了石匠、木匠重修耶和华的殿，又雇了铁匠、铜匠修理耶和华的殿。
12Then the king and Jehoiada would give the money to those who supervised the labor on the house of the LORD to hire stonecutters and carpenters to restore the house of the LORD, as well as workers in iron and bronze to repair the house of the LORD.
13工人操作，渐渐修成，将 神殿修造得与从前一样，而且甚是坚固。
13So the workmen labored, and in their hands the repair work progressed. They restored the house of God according to its specifications, and they reinforced it.
14工程完了，他们就把其余的银子拿到王与 耶何耶大 面前，用以制造耶和华殿供奉所用的器皿和调羹，并金银的器皿。 耶何耶大 在世的时候，众人常在耶和华殿里献燔祭。
14When they were finished, they brought the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada to make with it the articles for the house of the LORD—utensils for the service and for the burnt offerings, dishes, and other objects of gold and silver. Throughout the days of Jehoiada, burnt offerings were presented regularly in the house of the LORD.
15耶何耶大 年纪老迈，日子满足而死。死的时候年一百三十岁，
15When Jehoiada was old and full of years, he died at the age of 130.
16葬在 大卫城 列王的坟墓里；因为他在 以色列 人中行善，又事奉 神，修理 神的殿。
16And Jehoiada was buried with the kings in the City of David, because he had done what was good in Israel for God and His temple.
17耶何耶大 死后， 犹大 的众首领来朝拜王；王就听从他们。
17After the death of Jehoiada, however, the officials of Judah came and paid homage to the king, and he listened to them.
18他们离弃耶和华—他们列祖 神的殿，去事奉 亚舍拉 和偶像；因他们这罪，就有忿怒临到 犹大 和 耶路撒冷 。
18They abandoned the house of the LORD, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherah poles and idols. So wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this guilt of theirs.
19但 神仍遣先知到他们那里，引导他们归向耶和华。这先知警戒他们，他们却不肯听。
19Nevertheless, the LORD sent prophets to bring the people back to Him and to testify against them; but they would not listen.
20那时， 神的灵感动祭司 耶何耶大 的儿子 撒迦利亚 ，他就站在上面对民说：「 神如此说：你们为何干犯耶和华的诫命，以致不得亨通呢？因为你们离弃耶和华，所以他也离弃你们。」
20Then the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest, who stood up before the people and said to them, “This is what God says: ‘Why do you transgress the commandments of the LORD so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, He has forsaken you.’”
21众民同心谋害 撒迦利亚 ，就照王的吩咐，在耶和华殿的院内用石头打死他。
21But they conspired against Zechariah, and by order of the king, they stoned him in the courtyard of the house of the LORD.
22这样， 约阿施 王不想念 撒迦利亚 的父亲 耶何耶大 向自己所施的恩，杀了他的儿子。 撒迦利亚 临死的时候说：「愿耶和华鉴察伸冤！」
22Thus King Joash failed to remember the kindness that Zechariah’s father Jehoiada had extended to him. Instead, Joash killed Jehoiada’s son. As he lay dying, Zechariah said, “May the LORD see this and call you to account.”
23满了一年， 亚兰 的军兵上来攻击 约阿施 ，来到 犹大 和 耶路撒冷 ，杀了民中的众首领，将所掠的财货送到 大马士革 王那里。
23In the spring, the army of Aram went to war against Joash. They entered Judah and Jerusalem and destroyed all the leaders of the people, and they sent all the plunder to their king in Damascus.
24亚兰 的军兵虽来了一小队，耶和华却将大队的军兵交在他们手里，是因 犹大 人离弃耶和华—他们列祖的 神，所以借 亚兰 人惩罚 约阿施 。
24Although the Aramean army had come with only a few men, the LORD delivered into their hand a very great army. Because Judah had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers, judgment was executed on Joash.
25亚兰 人离开 约阿施 的时候，他患重病；臣仆背叛他，要报祭司 耶何耶大 儿子流血之仇，杀他在床上，葬他在 大卫城 ，只是不葬在列王的坟墓里。
25And when the Arameans had withdrawn, they left Joash severely wounded. His own servants conspired against him for shedding the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and they killed him on his bed. So he died and was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
26背叛他的是 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 。
26Those who conspired against Joash were Zabad son of Shimeath the Ammonitess and Jehozabad son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
27至于他的众子和他所受的警戒，并他重修 神殿的事，都写在列王的传上。他儿子 亚玛谢 接续他作王。
27The accounts of the sons of Joash, as well as the many pronouncements about him and about the restoration of the house of God, are indeed written in the Treatise of the Book of the Kings. And his son Amaziah reigned in his place.
