2 Kings 12
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1(12-2) In the seventh year of Jehu began Jehoash to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.
1耶戶 第七年， 約阿施 登基，在 耶路撒冷 作王四十年。他母親名叫 西比亞 ，是 別是巴 人。
2(12-3) And Jehoash did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
2約阿施 在祭司 耶何耶大 教訓他的時候，就行耶和華眼中看為正的事；
3(12-4) Howbeit the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and offered in the high places.
3只是邱壇還沒有廢去，百姓仍在那裏獻祭燒香。
4(12-5) And Jehoash said to the priests: 'All the money of the hallowed things that is brought into the house of the LORD, in current money, the money of the persons for whom each man is rated, all the money that cometh into any man's heart to bring into the house of the LORD,
4約阿施 對眾祭司說：「凡奉到耶和華殿分別為聖之物所值通用的銀子，或各人當納的身價，或樂意奉到耶和華殿的銀子，
5(12-6) let the priests take it to them, every man from him that bestoweth it upon him; and they shall repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach shall be found.'
5你們當從所認識的人收了來，修理殿的一切破壞之處。」
6(12-7) But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.
6無奈到了 約阿施 王二十三年，祭司仍未修理殿的破壞之處。
7(12-8) Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said unto them: 'Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore take no longer money from them that bestow it upon you, but deliver it for the breaches of the house.'
7所以 約阿施 王召了大祭司 耶何耶大 和眾祭司來，對他們說：「你們怎麼不修理殿的破壞之處呢？從今以後，你們不要從所認識的人再收銀子，要將所收的交出來，修理殿的破壞之處。」
8(12-9) And the priests consented that they should take no longer money from the people, neither repair the breaches of the house.
8眾祭司答應不再收百姓的銀子，也不修理殿的破壞之處。
9(12-10) And 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 threshold put therein all the money that was brought into the house of the LORD.
9祭司 耶何耶大 取了一個櫃子，在櫃蓋上鑽了一個窟窿，放於壇旁，在進耶和華殿的右邊；守門的祭司將奉到耶和華殿的一切銀子投在櫃裏。
10(12-11) 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 counted the money that was found in the house of the LORD.
10他們見櫃裏的銀子多了，便叫王的書記和大祭司上來，將耶和華殿裏的銀子數算包起來。
11(12-12) And they gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of the LORD; and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders, that wrought upon the house of the LORD,
11把所平的銀子交給督工的，就是耶和華殿裏辦事的人；他們把銀子轉交修理耶和華殿的木匠和工人，
12(12-13) and to the masons and the hewers of stone, and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
12並瓦匠、石匠，又買木料和鑿成的石頭，修理耶和華殿的破壞之處，以及修理殿的各樣使用。
13(12-14) But there were not made for the house of the LORD cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the LORD;
13但那奉到耶和華殿的銀子，沒有用以做耶和華殿裏的銀杯、蠟剪、碗、號，和別樣的金銀器皿，
14(12-15) for they gave that to them that did the work, and repaired therewith the house of the LORD.
14乃將那銀子交給督工的人修理耶和華的殿；
15(12-16) Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to give to them that did the work; for they dealt faithfully.
15且將銀子交給辦事的人轉交做工的人，不與他們算賬，因為他們辦事誠實。
16(12-17) The forfeit money, and the sin money, was not brought into the house of the LORD; it was the priests.
16惟有贖愆祭、贖罪祭的銀子沒有奉到耶和華的殿，都歸祭司。
17(12-18) Then Hazael king of Aram went up, and fought against Gath, and took it; and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
17那時， 亞蘭 王 哈薛 上來攻打 迦特 ，攻取了，就定意上來攻打 耶路撒冷 。
18(12-19) And Jehoash king 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 of the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Aram; and he went away from Jerusalem.
18猶大 王 約阿施 將他列祖 猶大 王 約沙法 、 約蘭 、 亞哈謝 所分別為聖的物和自己所分別為聖的物，並耶和華殿與王宮府庫裏所有的金子都送給 亞蘭 王 哈薛 ； 哈薛 就不上 耶路撒冷 來了。
19(12-20) Now 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?
19約阿施 其餘的事，凡他所行的都寫在 猶大 列王記上。
20(12-21) And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and smote Joash at Beth-millo, on the way that goeth down to Silla.
20約阿施 的臣僕起來背叛，在下 悉拉 的 米羅 宮那裏將他殺了。
21(12-22) For Jozacar 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.
21殺他的那臣僕就是 示米押 的兒子 約撒甲 和 朔默 的兒子 約薩拔 。眾人將他葬在 大衛城 他列祖的墳地裏。他兒子 亞瑪謝 接續他作王。
