Secondo libro dei Re 12

NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Septemque annorum erat Ioas, cum regnare coepisset.	1 In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash reigned. And he reigned for forty years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Zebiah from Beersheba.
2 Anno septimo Iehu regnavit Ioas; quadraginta annis regnavit in Ierusalem. Nomen matris eius Sebia de Bersabee.	2 And Jehoash did what was right in the sight of the Lord, during all the days that Jehoiada, the priest, taught him.
3 Fecitque Ioas rectum coram Domino cunctis diebus, quibus docuit eum Ioiada sacerdos.	3 Yet still he did not take away the high places. For the people were still immolating, and burning incense, in the high places.
4 Verumtamen excelsa non abstulit; adhuc populus immolabat et adolebat in excelsis.	4 And Jehoash said to the priests: “All of the money for the holy things, which has been brought into the temple of the Lord from those who pass by, which is offered for the price of a soul, and which they bring into the temple of the Lord willingly, from their own free heart:
5 Dixitque Ioas ad sacerdotes: “ Omnem pecuniam sanctorum, quae illata fuerit in templum Domini a praetereuntibus, quae offertur pro pretio animae, et quam sponte et arbitrio cordis sui inferunt in templum Domini,	5 let the priests, according to their ranks, take and use it in order to repair the surfaces of the house, wherever they see anything in need of repair.”
6 accipiant illam singuli sacerdotes a notis suis et instaurent sartatecta domus, si quid necessarium viderint instauratione ”.	6 And yet, even until the twenty-third year of king Jehoash, the priests did not repair the surfaces of the temple.
7 Igitur usque ad vicesimum tertium annum regis Ioas non instauraverunt sacerdotes sartatecta templi.	7 And king Jehoash called the high priest, Jehoiada, and the priests, saying to them: “Why have you not repaired the surfaces of the temple? Therefore, you may no longer accept money according to your ranks. Instead, return it in order that the temple may be repaired.”
8 Vocavitque rex Ioas Ioiada pontificem et sacerdotes dicens eis: “ Quare sartatecta non instauratis templi? Nolite ergo amplius accipere pecuniam a notis vestris, sed ad instaurationem templi reddite eam ”.	8 And so the priests were prohibited from accepting any more money from the people to repair the surfaces of the house.
9 Acquieveruntque sacerdotes ultra non accipere pecuniam a populo nec instaurare sartatecta domus.	9 And the high priest, Jehoiada, took a certain chest, and he opened a hole in the top, and he placed it beside the altar, to the right of those who were entering the house of the Lord. And the priests who kept the doors put all the money in it which was being brought into the temple of the Lord.
10 Et tulit Ioiada pontifex gazophylacium unum aperuitque foramen desuper et posuit illud iuxta altare ad dexteram ingredientium domum Domini; mittebantque in eo sacerdotes, qui custodiebant ostia, omnem pecuniam, quae deferebatur ad templum Domini.	10 And when they saw that there was a great amount of money in the chest, the scribe of the king and the high priest went up and poured it out. And they counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord.
11 Cumque viderent multam pecuniam esse in gazophylacio, ascendebat scriba regis et pontifex, colligebantque et numerabant pecuniam, quae inveniebatur in domo Domini,	11 And they gave it out, by number and measure, to the hands of those who were over the masons of the house of the Lord. And they weighed it out to the carpenters and masons, to those who were working in the house of the Lord
12 et dabant eam iuxta numerum atque mensuram in manu opificum, qui operibus praepositi erant in domo Domini; ipsique impendebant eam in fabris lignorum et in structoribus, qui operabantur in domo Domini,	12 and restoring the surfaces, and to those who were cutting stones, and buying timber and stones to be cut, so that the repairs to the house of the Lord might be finished: for all that was needed toward the expenses in order to strengthen the house.
13 et in caementariis et in his, qui caedebant saxa, et ut emerent ligna et lapides de lapicidinis, ut instaurarentur sartatecta domus Domini, et pro universis, quae indigebant expensa ad muniendam domum.	13 Yet truly, from the same money, they did not make for the temple of the Lord water pitchers, or small hooks, or censers, or trumpets, or any vessel of gold or silver, from the money that was brought into the temple of the Lord.
14 Verumtamen non fiebant pelves argenteae templi Domini et cultri et paterae et tubae, omne vas aureum et argenteum, de pecunia, quae inferebatur in templum Domini;	14 For it was given to those who were doing the work, so that the temple of the Lord might be repaired.
15 opificibus enim dabatur, ut instauraretur templum Domini.	15 And they did not ration the money to the men who received it in order to distribute it to the artisans. Instead, they bestowed it with faith.
16 Et non fiebat ratio his hominibus, qui accipiebant pecuniam, ut distribuerent eam operariis; illi enim in fide agebant.	16 Yet truly, the money for offenses and the money for sins, they did not bring into the temple of the Lord, since it was for the priests.
17 Pecuniam vero pro delicto et pecuniam pro peccatis non inferebatur in templum Domini, quia sacerdotum erat.	17 Then Hazael, the king of Syria, ascended and fought against Gath, and he captured it. And he directed his face, so that he might ascend against Jerusalem.
18 Tunc ascendit Hazael rex Syriae et pugnabat contra Geth; cepitque eam et direxit faciem suam, ut ascenderet in Ierusalem.	18 For this reason, Jehoash, the king of Judah, took all the sanctified things, which Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, the kings of Judah, had consecrated and which he himself had offered, and all the silver that could be found in the treasuries of the temple of the Lord and in the palace of the king, and he sent it to Hazael, the king of Syria. And so he withdrew from Jerusalem.
19 Quam ob rem tulit Ioas rex Iudae omnia sanctificata, quae consecraverant Iosaphat et Ioram et Ochozias patres eius reges Iudae, et quae ipse obtulerat, et universum aurum, quod inveniri potuit in thesauris templi Domini et in palatio regis, misitque Hazaeli regi Syriae; et recessit ab Ierusalem.	19 Now the rest of the words of Jehoash, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
20 Reliqua autem gestorum Ioas et universa, quae fecit, nonne haec scripta sunt in libro annalium regum Iudae?	20 Then his servants rose up and conspired among themselves. And they struck down Jehoash, at the house of Millo, on the descent of Silla.
21 Surrexerunt autem servi eius et coniuraverunt inter se percusseruntque Ioas in domo Mello in descensu Sella.	21 For 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 the city of David. And Amaziah, his son, reigned in his place.
22 Iozachar namque filius Semath et Iozabad filius Somer servi eius percusserunt eum, et mortuus est; et sepelierunt eum cum patribus suis in civitate David. Regnavitque Amasias filius eius pro eo.
