1耶户第七年，约阿施登基，在耶路撒冷作王四十年。他母亲名叫西比亚，是别是巴人。In the seventh year of Jehu, Joash became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba.
2约阿施在祭司耶何耶大教训他的时候，就行耶和华眼中看为正的事；And Joash did what was right in the eyes of the LORD all the days he was instructed by Jehoiada the priest.
3只是邱坛还没有废去，百姓仍在那里献祭烧香。Nevertheless, the high places were not removed; the people continued sacrificing and burning incense there.
4约阿施对众祭司说：“凡奉到耶和华殿分别为圣之物所值通用的银子，或各人当纳的身价，或乐意奉到耶和华殿的银子，Then Joash said to the priests, “Collect all the money brought as sacred gifts into the house of the LORD—the census money, the money from vows, and the money brought voluntarily into the house of the LORD.
5你们当从收了来，修理殿的一切破坏之处。”Let every priest receive it from his constituency, and let it be used to repair any damage found in the temple.”
6无奈到了约阿施王二十三年，祭司仍未修理殿的破坏之处。By the twenty-third year of the reign of Joash, however, the priests had not yet repaired the damage to the temple.
7所以约阿施王召了大祭司耶何耶大和众祭司来，对他们说：“你们怎么不修理殿的破坏之处呢？从今以后，你们不要从所认识的人再收银子，要将所收的交出来，修理殿的破坏之处。”So King Joash called Jehoiada and the other priests and said, “Why have you not repaired the damage to the temple? Now, therefore, take no more money from your constituency, but hand it over for the repair of the temple.”
8众祭司答应不再收百姓的银子，也不修理殿的破坏之处。So the priests agreed that they would not receive money from the people and that they would not repair the temple themselves.
9祭司耶何耶大取了一个，在柜盖上钻了一个，放于坛旁，在进耶和华殿的右边；守门的祭司将奉到耶和华殿的一切银子投在柜里。Then Jehoiada the priest took a chest, bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar on the right side as one enters the house of the LORD. There the priests who guarded the threshold put all the money brought into the house of the LORD.
10他们见柜里的银子多了，便叫王的书记和大祭司上来，将耶和华殿里的银子数算包起来。Whenever they saw that there was a large amount of money in the chest, the royal scribe and the high priest would go up, count the money brought into the house of the LORD, and tie it up in bags.
11把银子交给督工的，就是耶和华殿里办事的人；他们把银子转交修理耶和华殿的木匠和工人，Then they would put the counted money into the hands of those who supervised the work on the house of the LORD, who in turn would pay those doing the work—the carpenters, builders,
12并瓦匠、石匠，又买木料和凿成的石头，修理耶和华殿的破坏之处，以及修理殿的各样使用。masons, and stonecutters. They also purchased timber and dressed stone to repair the damage to the house of the LORD, and they paid the other expenses of the temple repairs.
13但那奉到耶和华殿的银子，没有用以做耶和华殿里的银杯、、碗、号，和别样的金银器皿，However, the money brought into the house of the LORD was not used for making silver basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, trumpets, or any articles of gold or silver for the house of the LORD.
14乃将那银子交给督工的人修理耶和华的殿；Instead, it was paid to those doing the work, and with it they repaired the house of the LORD.
15且将银子交给办事的人转交做工的人，，因为他们办事诚实。No accounting was required from the men who received the money to pay the workmen, because they acted with integrity.
16惟有的银子没有奉到耶和华的殿，都归祭司。The money from the guilt offerings and sin offerings was not brought into the house of the LORD; it belonged to the priests.
17那时，亚兰王哈薛上来攻打迦特，攻取了，就定意上来攻打耶路撒冷。At that time Hazael king of Aram marched up and fought against Gath and captured it. Then he decided to attack Jerusalem.
18犹大王约阿施将他列祖犹大王约沙法、约兰、亚哈谢所分别为圣的物和自己所分别为圣的物，并耶和华殿与王宫府库里所有的金子都送给亚兰王哈薛；哈薛就不上耶路撒冷来了。So King Joash of Judah took all the sacred objects dedicated by his fathers—Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and Ahaziah, the kings of Judah—along with his own consecrated items and all the gold found in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he sent them to Hazael king of Aram. So Hazael withdrew from Jerusalem.
19约阿施其余的事，凡他所行的都写在犹大列王记上。As for the rest of the acts of Joash, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
20约阿施的臣仆起来背叛，在下悉拉的米罗宫那里将他杀了。And the servants of Joash rose up and formed a conspiracy and killed him at Beth-millo, on the road down to Silla.
21杀他的那臣仆就是示米押的儿子约撒甲和朔默的儿子约萨拔。众人将他葬在大卫城他列祖的坟地里。他儿子亚玛谢接续他作王。His servants Jozabad son of Shimeath and Jehozabad son of Shomer struck him down, and he died. And they buried him with his fathers in the City of David, and his son Amaziah reigned in his place.
