LXXDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 ων επτα ετων ιωας εν τω βασιλευσαι αυτον και τεσσαρακοντα ετη εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ και ονομα τη μητρι αυτου σαβια εκ βηρσαβεε1 Joas was seven years old when he began to reign: and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem : the name of his mother was Sebia of Bersabee.
2 και εποιησεν ιωας το ευθες ενωπιον κυριου πασας τας ημερας ιωδαε του ιερεως2 And he did that which is good before the Lord all the days of Joiada the priest.
3 και ελαβεν αυτω ιωδαε γυναικας δυο και εγεννησεν υιους και θυγατερας3 And Joiada took for him two wives, by whom he had sons and daughters.
4 και εγενετο μετα ταυτα και εγενετο επι καρδιαν ιωας επισκευασαι τον οικον κυριου4 After this Joas had a mind to repair the house of the Lord.
5 και συνηγαγεν τους ιερεις και τους λευιτας και ειπεν αυτοις εξελθατε εις τας πολεις ιουδα και συναγαγετε απο παντος ισραηλ αργυριον κατισχυσαι τον οικον κυριου ενιαυτον κατ' ενιαυτον και σπευσατε λαλησαι και ουκ εσπευσαν οι λευιται5 And he assembled the priests, and the Levites, and said to them: Go out to the cities of Juda, and gather of all Israel money to repair the temple of your God, from year to year: and do this with speed: but the Levites were negligent.
6 και εκαλεσεν ο βασιλευς ιωας τον ιωδαε τον αρχοντα και ειπεν αυτω δια τι ουκ επεσκεψω περι των λευιτων του εισενεγκαι απο ιουδα και ιερουσαλημ το κεκριμενον υπο μωυση ανθρωπου του θεου οτε εξεκκλησιασεν τον ισραηλ εις την σκηνην του μαρτυριου6 And the king called Joiada the chief, and said to him: Why hast thou not taken care to oblige the Levites to bring in out of Juda and Jerusalem the money that was appointed by Moses the servant of the Lord for all the multitude of Israel to bring into the tabernacle of the testimony?
7 οτι γοθολια ην η ανομος και οι υιοι αυτης κατεσπασαν τον οικον του θεου και γαρ τα αγια οικου κυριου εποιησαν ταις βααλιμ7 For that wicked woman Athalia, and her children have destroyed the house of God, and adorned the temple of Baal with all the things that had been dedicated in the temple of the Lord.
8 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς γενηθητω γλωσσοκομον και τεθητω εν πυλη οικου κυριου εξω8 And the king commanded, and they made a chest: and set it by the gate of the house of the Lord on the outside.
9 και κηρυξατωσαν εν ιουδα και εν ιερουσαλημ εισενεγκαι κυριω καθως ειπεν μωυσης παις του θεου επι τον ισραηλ εν τη ερημω9 And they made a proclamation in Juda and Jerusalem, that every man should bring to the Lord the money which Moses the servant of God appointed for all Israel, in the desert.
10 και εδωκαν παντες αρχοντες και πας ο λαος και εισεφερον και ενεβαλλον εις το γλωσσοκομον εως ου επληρωθη10 And all the princes, and all the people rejoiced: and going In they contributed and cast so much into the chest of the Lord, that it was filled.
11 και εγενετο ως εισεφερον το γλωσσοκομον προς τους προστατας του βασιλεως δια χειρος των λευιτων και ως ειδον οτι επλεονασεν το αργυριον και ηλθεν ο γραμματευς του βασιλεως και ο προστατης του ιερεως του μεγαλου και εξεκενωσαν το γλωσσοκομον και κατεστησαν εις τον τοπον αυτου ουτως εποιουν ημεραν εξ ημερας και συνηγαγον αργυριον πολυ11 And when it was time to bring the chest before the king by the hands of the Levites, (for they saw there was much money,) the king's scribe, and he whom the high priest had appointed went in: and they poured out the money that was in the chest: and they carried back the chest to its place: and thus they did from day to day, and there was gathered an immense sum of money.
12 και εδωκεν αυτο ο βασιλευς και ιωδαε ο ιερευς τοις ποιουσιν τα εργα εις την εργασιαν οικου κυριου και εμισθουντο λατομους και τεκτονας επισκευασαι τον οικον κυριου και χαλκεις σιδηρου και χαλκου επισκευασαι τον οικον κυριου12 And the king and Joiada gave it to those who were over the works of the house of the Lord: but they hired with it stonecutters, and artificers of every kind of work to repair the house of the Lord: and such as wrought in iron and brass, to uphold what began to be falling.
13 και εποιουν οι ποιουντες τα εργα και ανεβη μηκος των εργων εν χερσιν αυτων και ανεστησαν τον οικον κυριου επι την στασιν αυτου και ενισχυσαν13 And the workmen were diligent, and the breach of the walls was closed up by their hands, and they set up the house of the Lord in its former state, and made it stand firm.
14 και ως συνετελεσαν ηνεγκαν προς τον βασιλεα και προς ιωδαε το καταλοιπον του αργυριου και εποιησαν σκευη εις οικον κυριου σκευη λειτουργικα ολοκαυτωματων και θυισκας χρυσας και αργυρας και ανηνεγκαν ολοκαυτωσεις εν οικω κυριου δια παντος πασας τας ημερας ιωδαε14 And when they had finished all the works, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Joiada: and with it were made vessels for the temple for the ministry, and for holocausts and bowls, and other vessels of gold and silver : and holocausts were offered in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Joiada.
15 και εγηρασεν ιωδαε πληρης ημερων και ετελευτησεν ων εκατον και τριακοντα ετων εν τω τελευταν αυτον15 But Joiada grew old and was full of days, and died when he was a hundred and thirty years old.
16 και εθαψαν αυτον εν πολει δαυιδ μετα των βασιλεων οτι εποιησεν αγαθωσυνην μετα ισραηλ και μετα του θεου και του οικου αυτου16 And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good to Israel, and to his house.
17 και εγενετο μετα την τελευτην ιωδαε εισηλθον οι αρχοντες ιουδα και προσεκυνησαν τον βασιλεα τοτε επηκουσεν αυτοις ο βασιλευς17 And after the death of Joiada, the princes of Juda went in, and worshipped the king: and he was soothed by their services and hearkened to them.
18 και εγκατελιπον τον κυριον θεον των πατερων αυτων και εδουλευον ταις ασταρταις και τοις ειδωλοις και εγενετο οργη επι ιουδαν και επι ιερουσαλημ εν τη ημερα ταυτη18 And they forsook the temple of the Lord the God of their fathers, and served groves and idols, and wrath came upon Juda and Jerusalem for this sin.
19 και απεστειλεν προς αυτους προφητας επιστρεψαι προς κυριον και ουκ ηκουσαν και διεμαρτυραντο αυτοις και ουκ ηκουσαν19 And he sent prophets to them to bring them back to the Lord, and they would not give ear when they testified against them.
20 και πνευμα θεου ενεδυσεν τον αζαριαν τον του ιωδαε τον ιερεα και ανεστη επανω του λαου και ειπεν ταδε λεγει κυριος τι παραπορευεσθε τας εντολας κυριου και ουκ ευοδωθησεσθε οτι εγκατελιπετε τον κυριον και εγκαταλειψει υμας20 The spirit of God then came upon Zacharias the son of Joiada the priest, and he stood in the sight of the people, and said to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Why transgress you the commandment of the Lord which will not be for your good, and have forsaken the Lord, to make him forsake you?
21 και επεθεντο αυτω και ελιθοβολησαν αυτον δι' εντολης ιωας του βασιλεως εν αυλη οικου κυριου21 And they gathered themselves together against him, and stoned him at the king's commandment in the court of the house of the Lord.
22 και ουκ εμνησθη ιωας του ελεους ου εποιησεν μετ' αυτου ιωδαε ο πατηρ αυτου και εθανατωσεν τον υιον αυτου και ως απεθνησκεν ειπεν ιδοι κυριος και κρινατω22 And king Joas did not remember the kindness that Joiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. And when he died, he said: The Lord see, and require it.
23 και εγενετο μετα την συντελειαν του ενιαυτου ανεβη επ' αυτον δυναμις συριας και ηλθεν επι ιουδαν και επι ιερουσαλημ και κατεφθειραν παντας τους αρχοντας του λαου εν τω λαω και παντα τα σκυλα αυτων απεστειλαν τω βασιλει δαμασκου23 And when a year was come about, the army of Syria came up against him: and they came to Juda and Jerusalem, end killed all the princes of the people, and they sent all the spoils to the king of Damascus.
24 οτι εν ολιγοις ανδρασιν παρεγενετο δυναμις συριας και ο θεος παρεδωκεν εις τας χειρας αυτων δυναμιν πολλην σφοδρα οτι εγκατελιπον κυριον θεον των πατερων αυτων και μετα ιωας εποιησεν κριματα24 And whereas there came a very small number of the Syrians, the Lord delivered into their hands an infinite multitude, because they had forsaken the Lord the God of their fathers: and on Joas they executed shameful judgments.
25 και μετα το απελθειν αυτους απ' αυτου εν τω εγκαταλιπειν αυτον εν μαλακιαις μεγαλαις και επεθεντο αυτω οι παιδες αυτου εν αιμασιν υιου ιωδαε του ιερεως και εθανατωσαν αυτον επι της κλινης αυτου και απεθανεν και εθαψαν αυτον εν πολει δαυιδ και ουκ εθαψαν αυτον εν τω ταφω των βασιλεων25 And departing they left him in diseases: and his servants rose up him, for revenge of the blood of the son of Joiada the priest, and they slew him in his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
26 και οι επιθεμενοι επ' αυτον ζαβεδ ο του σαμαθ ο αμμανιτης και ιωζαβεδ ο του σομαρωθ ο μωαβιτης26 Now the men that conspired against him were Zabad the son of Semmaath an Ammonitess, and Jozabad the son of Semarith a Moabitess.
27 και οι υιοι αυτου παντες και προσηλθον αυτω οι πεντε και τα λοιπα ιδου γεγραμμενα επι την γραφην των βασιλεων και εβασιλευσεν αμασιας υιος αυτου αντ' αυτου27 And concerning his sons, and the sum of money which was gathered under him, and the repairing the house of God; they are written more diligently in the book of kings: and Amasias his son reigned in his stead.
