1 Joás tenía siete años cuando comenzó a reinar y reinó cuarenta años en Jerusalén. Su madre se llamaba Sibia y era de Beerseba.
1 Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah, of Beersheba.
2 Joás hizo lo recto ante el Señor mientras vivió el sacerdote Joiada.
2 Joash did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
3 Joiada le consiguió dos esposas, y Joás tuvo hijos e hijas.
3 Jehoiada took for him two wives, and he became the father of sons and daughters.
4 Después Joás decidió reparar el templo del Señor.
4 After this, Joash intended to restore Yahweh’s house.
5 Reunió a los sacerdotes y levitas, y les dijo: «Recorran cada año las ciudades de Judá y recojan dinero de todo Israel para mantener en buen estado el templo de su Dios. Háganlo sin demora». Sin embargo, los levitas tardaron en hacerlo.
5 He gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, “Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather money to repair the house of your God from all Israel from year to year. See that you expedite this matter.” However the Levites didn’t do it right away.
6 El rey llamó a Joiada, el sumo sacerdote, y le preguntó: «¿Por qué no has ordenado a los levitas recoger de Judá y Jerusalén el impuesto establecido por Moisés, siervo del Señor, y por la asamblea de Israel para la Tienda del testimonio?».
6 The king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, “Why haven’t you required of the Levites to bring in the tax of Moses the servant of Yahweh, and of the assembly of Israel, out of Judah and out of Jerusalem, for the Tent of the Testimony?”
7 Atalía, aquella mujer malvada, y sus hijos habían dañado el templo de Dios y habían entregado a los baales todos sus objetos sagrados.
7 For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up God’s house; and they also gave all the dedicated things of Yahweh’s house to the Baals.
8 Por orden del rey hicieron un cofre y lo pusieron fuera de la entrada del templo del Señor.
8 So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it outside at the gate of Yahweh’s house.
9 Se anunció en todo Judá y Jerusalén que debían entregar al Señor el impuesto que Moisés, siervo de Dios, había establecido para Israel en el desierto.
9 They made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for Yahweh the tax that Moses the servant of God laid on Israel in the wilderness.
10 Todos los jefes y todo el pueblo llevaron con alegría su dinero y lo echaron en el cofre, hasta que todos habían contribuido.
10 All the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had filled it.
11 Los levitas llevaban el cofre a los servidores del rey cuando veían que tenía mucho dinero. El secretario del rey y el ayudante del sumo sacerdote lo vaciaban y lo devolvían a su lugar. Lo hacían día tras día y reunieron mucho dinero.
11 Whenever the chest was brought to the king’s officers by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king’s scribe and the chief priest’s officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
12 El rey y Joiada lo entregaron a los encargados de las obras del templo del Señor. Con ese dinero contrataron albañiles, carpinteros y trabajadores del metal para reparar el templo.
12 The king and Jehoiada gave it to those who did the work of the service of Yahweh’s house. They hired masons and carpenters to restore Yahweh’s house, and also those who worked iron and bronze to repair Yahweh’s house.
13 Los trabajadores repararon lo que estaba dañado y restauraron el templo de Dios, hasta que volvió a ser fuerte y hermoso.
13 So the workmen worked, and the work of repairing went forward in their hands. They set up God’s house as it was designed, and strengthened it.
14 Cuando terminaron las obras, entregaron al rey y a Joiada el dinero que sobraba. Con él hicieron los utensilios del templo del Señor: los necesarios para las ofrendas, las cucharas y los utensilios de oro y plata. Mientras vivió Joiada, se ofrecieron regularmente holocaustos en el templo del Señor.
14 When they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, from which were made vessels for Yahweh’s house, even vessels with which to minister and to offer, including spoons and vessels of gold and silver. They offered burnt offerings in Yahweh’s house continually all the days of Jehoiada.
15 Joiada murió a una edad muy avanzada. Tenía ciento treinta años.
15 But Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died. He was one hundred thirty years old when he died.
16 Lo sepultaron en la Ciudad de David, entre los reyes, porque había hecho bien a Israel, a Dios y a su templo.
16 They buried him in David’s city among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house.
17 Después de la muerte de Joiada, los jefes de Judá fueron a postrarse ante el rey, y él los escuchó.
17 Now after the death of Jehoiada, the princes of Judah came and bowed down to the king. Then the king listened to them.
18 Abandonaron el templo del Señor, Dios de sus antepasados, y adoraron los postes de Asera y los ídolos. Por este pecado la ira de Dios cayó sobre Judá y Jerusalén.
18 They abandoned the house of Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherah poles and the idols, so wrath came on Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness.
19 El Señor les envió profetas para que volvieran a él. Los profetas les advertían, pero ellos no quisieron escuchar.
19 Yet he sent prophets to them to bring them again to Yahweh, and they testified against them; but they would not listen.
20 El Espíritu de Dios vino sobre Zacarías, hijo del sacerdote Joiada. Se puso de pie ante el pueblo y dijo: «Así dice Dios: ¿Por qué desobedecen los mandamientos del Señor y hacen que les vaya mal? Como han abandonado al Señor, él los ha abandonado».
20 The Spirit of God came on Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said to them, “God says, ‘Why do you disobey Yahweh’s commandments, so that you can’t prosper? Because you have forsaken Yahweh, he has also forsaken you.’”
21 Conspiraron contra Zacarías y, por orden del rey, lo mataron a pedradas en el atrio exterior del templo del Señor.
21 They conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of Yahweh’s house.
22 El rey Joás no recordó la bondad que Joiada, padre de Zacarías, le había mostrado, sino que mató a su hijo. Al morir, Zacarías dijo: «¡Que el Señor lo vea y pida cuentas!».
22 Thus Joash the king didn’t remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. When he died, he said, “May Yahweh look at it, and repay it.”
23 En la primavera, el ejército de Aram atacó a Joás. Entró en Judá y Jerusalén, mató a todos los jefes del pueblo y envió todo el botín al rey de Damasco.
23 At the end of the year, the army of the Syrians came up against him. They came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all their plunder to the king of Damascus.
24 Aunque el ejército de Aram era pequeño, el Señor entregó en sus manos un ejército muy grande, porque los de Judá habían abandonado al Señor, Dios de sus antepasados. Así los arameos castigaron a Joás.
24 For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men; and Yahweh delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken Yahweh, the God of their fathers. So they executed judgment on Joash.
25 Cuando se retiraron, Joás quedó muy enfermo. Sus servidores conspiraron contra él para vengar la sangre del hijo del sacerdote Joiada, y lo mataron en su cama. Lo sepultaron en la Ciudad de David, pero no en las tumbas de los reyes.
25 When they had departed from him (for they left him seriously wounded), his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed, and he died. They buried him in David’s city, but they didn’t bury him in the tombs of the kings.
26 Los que conspiraron contra él fueron Zabad, hijo de Simeat, una mujer amonita, y Jozabad, hijo de Simrit, una mujer moabita.
26 These are those who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
27 El relato de sus hijos, las palabras que el profeta anunció contra él y la reparación del templo del Señor están escritos en el relato del libro de los reyes. Su hijo Amasías reinó en su lugar.
27 Now concerning his sons, the greatness of the burdens laid on him, and the rebuilding of God’s house, behold, they are written in the commentary of the book of the kings. Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
