1Jehoash began to reign in the seventh year of Jehu, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
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。
2Jehoash did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
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。
3However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.
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。
4Jehoash said to the priests, “All the money of the holy things that is brought into the LORD’s house, in current money, the money of the people for whom each man is evaluated, and all the money that it comes into any man’s heart to bring into the LORD’s house,
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、
5let the priests take it to them, each man from his donor; and they shall repair the damage to the house, wherever any damage is found.”
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。」
6But it was so, that in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash the priests had not repaired the damage to the house.
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。
7Then King Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said to them, “Why aren’t you repairing the damage to the house? Now therefore take no more money from your treasurers, but deliver it for repair of the damage to the house.”
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。
8The priests consented that they should take no more money from the people, and not repair the damage to the house.
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。
9But Jehoiada the priest took a chest and bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the LORD’s house; and the priests who kept the threshold put all the money that was brought into the LORD’s house into it.
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。
10When they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and they put it in bags and counted the money that was found in the LORD’s house.
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。
11They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the LORD’s house; and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders who worked on the LORD’s house,
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、
12and to the masons and the stone cutters, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the damage to the LORD’s house, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
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。
13But there were not made for the LORD’s house cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the LORD’s 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。
14for they gave that to those who did the work, and repaired the LORD’s house with it.
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。
15Moreover they didn’t demand an accounting from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work; for they dealt faithfully.
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。
16The money for the trespass offerings and the money for the sin offerings was not brought into the LORD’s house. It was the priests’.
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。
17Then Hazael king of Syria went up and fought against Gath, and took it; and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
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。
18Jehoash king of Judah took all the holy things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own holy things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the LORD’s house, and of the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria; and he went away from 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。
19Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
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。
20His servants arose and made a conspiracy, and struck Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla.
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。
21For Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in David’s city; and Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
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。
