1イエフの第七年にエホアシュがユダの王となり、エルサレムで四十年間治めた。母の名はベエルシェバ出身のツィビヤであった。
1In the seventh year of Jehu Joas began to reign: and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Sebia of Bersabee.
2エホアシュは、祭司エホヤダが教え導いていた間、主の目にかなうことを行った。
2And Joas did that which was right before the Lord all the days that Joiada the priest taught him.
3しかし高き所は取り除かれず、民はまだ高き所でいけにえをささげ、香をたいていた。
3But yet he took not away the high places: for the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
4エホアシュは祭司たちに言った。「主の家に持ち込まれる聖なる銀、すなわち通用する銀、各人に課された評価額の銀 、また人が進んで主の家に持って来るすべての銀を、
4And Joas said to the priests: O All the money of the sanctified things, which is brought into the temple of the Lord by those that pass, which is offered for the price of a soul, and which of their own accord, and of their own free heart they bring into the temple of the Lord:
5祭司たちはそれぞれ寄進者から受け取り、神殿の破損が見つかったところはどこでも修理させよ。」
5Let the priests take it according to their order, and repair the house, wheresoever they shall see any thing that wanteth repairing.
6しかし、エホアシュ王の第二十三年になっても、祭司たちは家の破れを修理していなかった。
6Now till the three and twentieth year of king Joas, the priests did not make the repairs of the temple.
7そこでエホアシュ王は祭司エホヤダと他の祭司たちを呼び、「なぜ神殿の破損を修理しないのか。これからは寄進者から銀を受け取らず、修理のために引き渡せ」と命じた。
7And king Joas called Joiada the high priest and the priests, saying to them: Why do you not repair the temple? Take you therefore money no more according to your order, but restore it for the repairing of the temple.
8祭司たちは、民からこれ以上銀を受け取らず、神殿修理の責任も負わないことに同意した。
8And the priests were forbidden to take any more money of the people, and to make the repairs of the house.
9しかし祭司エホヤダは一つの箱を取り、その蓋に穴を開け、主の家に入って来る者の右側、祭壇のそばにそれを置いた。門を守る祭司たちは、主の家に持ち込まれたすべての銀をその中に入れた。
9And Joiada the high priest took a chest and bored a hole in the top, and set it by the altar at the right hand of them that came into the house of the Lord, and the priests that kept the doors put therein all the money that was brought to the temple of the Lord.
10箱に銀が多くたまると、王の書記官と大祭司が来て、主の家に集まった銀を袋に入れて数えた。
10And when they saw that there was very much money in the chest, the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and poured it out, and counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord:
11彼らは量られた銀を、仕事をする者たち、すなわち主の家を監督する者たちの手に渡し、彼らはそれを主の家で働く大工や建築者たち、
11And they gave it out by number and measure into the hands of them that were over the builders of the house of the Lord: and they laid it out to the carpenters, and the masons that wrought in the house of the Lord,
12石工、石を切り出す者たちに支払い、また主の家の破れを修理するための木材と切り石を買うため、そして家を修理するために費やされるすべてのために支払った。
12And made the repairs: and to them that cut stones, and to buy timber, and stones, to be hewed, that the repairs of the house of the Lord might be completely finished, and wheresoever there was need of expenses to uphold the house.
13しかし、主の家に持ち込まれた銀から、主の家のための銀の杯、芯切りばさみ、鉢、ラッパ、金の器や銀の器は何も造られなかった。
13But there were not made of the same money for the temple of the Lord, bowls, or fleshhooks, or censers, or trumpets, or any vessel of gold and silver, of the money that was brought into the temple of the Lord.
14彼らはそれを仕事をする者たちに与え、それで主の家を修理したからである。
14For it was given to them that did the work, that the temple of the Lord might be repaired.
15また、工事をする者たちに支払う銀を託された人々には、会計報告を求めなかった。彼らが誠実に働いていたからである。
15And they reckoned not with the men that received the money to distribute it to the workmen, but they bestowed it faithfully.
16咎のささげ物の銀と罪のささげ物の銀は、主の家には持ち込まれなかった。それは祭司たちのものであった。
16But the money for trespass, and the money for sins, they brought not into the temple of the Lord, because it was for the priests.
17そのころ、アラムの王ハザエルはガテに攻め上ってこれを奪い、さらにエルサレムへ攻め上る決意をした。
17Then Hazael king of Syria went up and fought against Geth, and took it and set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
18ユダの王エホアシュは、彼の先祖であるユダの王たち、ヨシャファテ、エホラム、アハズヤが聖別したすべての聖なるもの、彼自身の聖なるもの、および主の家の宝物庫と王の家で見つかったすべての金を取り、それをアラムの王ハザエルに送った。すると彼はエルサレムから去って行った。
18Wherefore Joas king of Juda took all the sanctified things, which Josaphat, and Joram, and Ochozias his fathers the kings of Juda had dedicated to holy uses, and which he himself had offered: and all the silver that could be found in the treasures of the temple of the Lord, and in the king’s palace: and sent it to Hazael king of Syria, and he went off from Jerusalem.
19ヨアシュのその他の事績と、彼が行ったすべてのことは、ユダの王たちの年代記の書に記されているではないか。
19And the rest of the acts of Joas, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
20彼のしもべたちは立ち上がって陰謀を企て、シラへ下るミロの家でヨアシュを打ち殺した。
20And his servants arose, and conspired among themselves, and slew Joas in the house of Mello in the descent of Sella.
21シメアテの息子ヨザカルと、ショメルの息子エホザバド、すなわち彼のしもべたちが彼を打ったので、彼は死んだ。そして彼らは彼をダビデの町で先祖とともに葬り、その息子アマツヤが代わって王となった。
21For Josachar the son of Semaath, and Jozabad the son of Somer his servant struck him, and he died: and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David, and Amasias his son reigned in his stead.
