Joas was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Sabia of Beersabee.

¹

СеDмь лњтъ б^њ і^ѓ^а'съ е^гда` црsтвовати нача`. м~ лTњ, црsтвова` въ і^ерsли'мњ. и^мяy мт~ри е^го савїя эT вирса'вїа.

²

And Joas did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jodae the priest.

²

сътвори' же і^ѓ^а'съ ё^годно преD гм~ъ, вс^я дн~и і^ѓ^даа сщ~енника.

³

And Jodae took to himself two wives, and they bore sons and daughters.

³

и^ пояT же себњ` і^ѓ^да'и жены дв^њ. эT ниXже роди` сн~ы и^ дще'ри”

⁴

And it came to pass afterward that it came into the heart of Joas to repair the house of the Lord.

⁴

И$ посе'мъ възы'иде на срDце і^ѓ^а'сђ да ё^кра'ситъ до'мъ гн~ь.

⁵

And he gathered the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out into the cities of Juda, and collect money of all Israel to repair the house of the Lord from year to year, and make haste to speak of it. But the Levites hasted not.

⁵

и^ собра` сщ~ен#никы и^ левљ=ты, и^ рече и^мъ” Идњте къ гра'доM і^ё'диным#. и^ соберите эT всего` і^и^л~я сребреники къ ѓ^бновленїю цр~кви б~а на'шего, эT лњта до лњта. пот#ща'н#но же т^о сътвори'те. левљ=ти же не потъща'шася”

⁶

And king Joas called Jodae the chief, and said to him, Why hast thou not looked after the Levites, so that they should bring from Juda and Jerusalem that which was prescribed by Moses the man of God, when he assembled Israel at the tabernacle of witness?

⁶

И$ възва' же цр~ь і^ѓ^да'я нача'лника и^ рече е^мђ. почт^о не принђжа'еши левљ=товъ е^же принести эT і^ё'ды и^ эT і^ерsли'ма, и^же поста'влено еs эT мољ=сїа раба` гн~я, ја%ко собра` і^и^л~я въ скљ=нїю свњдњнїя”

⁷

For Gotholia was a transgressor, and her sons tore down the house of God; for they offered the holy things of the house of the Lord to Baalim.

⁷

Гоџолїя б^о б^њ нечести'вая и^ сн~ове е^я` разори'ша до'мъ бж~їи. и^ эT всњхъ и^же сщ~ен#на бы'ша цр~кви бж~їи, ё^краси` и%ми кђми'ра”

⁸

And the king said, Let a box be made, and let it be put at the gate of the house of the Lord without.

⁸

И$ повелњ ё^бо цр~ь да сътворя'тъ ковче'гъ влага'нїе сребра` эT людїи. и^ да поста'вятъ блиZ враT гн~ихъ и^зъ внђ.

⁹

And let men proclaim in Juda and in Jerusalem, that the people should bring to the Lord, as Moses the servant of God spoke concerning Israel in the wilderness.

⁹

и^ да повњ'даютъ въ і^ё^де'и и^ въ і^ерsлимњ. и^ да принесђт# г~ђ чт^о поста'ви мољ=сїи ра'бъ бж~їи, наD всњмъ і^и^л~емъ въ пђсты'ни”

¹⁰

And all the princes and all the people gave, and brought in, and cast into the box until it was filled.

¹⁰

И$ да'ша вс^и нача'лницы, и^ вс^и лю'дїе. и^ вношахђ и^ влага'хђ въ ковчегъ и^же повелњ` цр~ь поста'вити г~ђ, до'н#деже напо'лниша”

¹¹

And it came to pass, when they brought in the box to the officers of the king by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that the money was more than sufficient, then came the king's scribe, and the officer of the high priest, and emptied the box, and restored it to its place. Thus they did day by day, and collected much money.

¹¹

И$ быs е^гда` принесоша ковчегъ, къ повеле'нымъ цр~евымъ рђ'кама левљ=т#скими” И$ ја%ко вњдњхђ и^же напо'лнися сребра` ковчегъ, въхожда'ше пи'саръ цр~евъ и^ поста'вленыи великїи жрецъ, и^ выбирали и^с ковчега сре'бреники” Паки ковчеh въноша'хђ къ мњстђ е^го, та'коже творяхђ эT дн~и до дн~и, и^ собра'ни сTђ беZчи'слены сре'бреники,

¹²

And the king and Jodae the priest gave it to the workmen employed in the service of the house of the Lord, and they hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the Lord, also smiths and braziers to repair the house of the Lord.

¹²

и^ возда'сть я& цр~ь і^ѓ^да'и жрецъ тMњ и^же творя'хђ дњла до'мђ гн~я, и^ наи^ма'хђ каменосњч#ца, и^ дре'водњля, да ё^строя'юT до'мъ гн~ь, и^ ковачи` желњ'зђ и^ мњди да ё^крњпи'тъ до'мъ гн~ь,

¹³

And the workmen wrought, and the works prospered in their hands, and they established the house of the Lord on its foundation, and strengthened it.

¹³

и^ творя'хђ творящїи дњла разђмно” И$ возводяхђся стњны мно'гостїю дњ'ла въ рђкђ и^хъ, и^ стро'иша до'мъ гн~ь въ стоа'нїе пре'жнее е^го, и^ крњп#ча'е т^ђ стоя'ти сътвори'ша”

¹⁴

And when they had finished it, they brought to the king and to Jodae the remainder of the money, and they made vessels for the house of the Lord, vessels of service for whole-burnt-offerings, and gold and silver censers: and they offered up whole-burnt-offerings in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Jodae.

¹⁴

Є$гда же съвръши'ша вс^я дњла, принесо'ша преD цр~я и^ къ і^ѓ^да'ю про'чђю ча'сть сре'бреникъ, эT ни'хже сътворени быша сосђ'ды цр~ковныя, сосђды въ слђженїе вс^есож#женїа, и^ кади'лницы и^ прочая сосђды зла'ты и^ сребряны” И$ приноша'хђся вс^есож#женїя в до'мъ гн~ь без#преста'ни вс^я дн~и и^ѓ^да'я”

¹⁵

And Jodae grew old, being full of days, and he died, being a hundred and thirty years old at his death.

¹⁵

И$ състарњ' же ся и^ѓ^да'и по'лнъ дн~їи, и^ у'мре сы'и, р~л, лњтъ, при сконча'нїю е^го.

¹⁶

And they buried him with the kings in the city of David, because he had dealt well with Israel, and with God and his house.

¹⁶

и^ погребо'ша е^го въ' градњ двд~вњ съ цр~и. того ра'ди чт^о сътвори` бл~го съ і^и^л~емъ и^ съ до'момъ е^го”

¹⁷

And it came to pass after the death of Jodae, that the princes of Juda went in, and did obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened to them.

¹⁷

И$ бы'сть по сконча'нїю и^ѓ^да'я и^до'ша начаlницы і^ё'дины. и^ поклони'шася цр~ю и^ послђжи'ша,

¹⁸

And they forsook the house of the Lord God of their fathers, and served the Astartes and idols: and there was wrath upon Juda and Jerusalem in that day.

¹⁸

и^ ѓ^пђсти'ша цр~ковь г~а б~а эTц~ъ свои^хъ. и^ слђжа'хђ а'ста'р#тђ і^ и^стђка'нным#” И$ бы'сть ја%рость гн~я проти'вђ і^ё'ды і^ерsлима ра'ди того грњха` въ дн~ь то'и,

¹⁹

Yet he sent prophets to them, to turn them to the Lord; but they hearkened not: and he testified to them, but they obeyed not.

¹⁹

и^ посла же къ ни'мъ пррoки да ѓ^братятся къ г~ђ, и^ не послђшаша, и^ засвњдитеlствова'хђ и^мъ, и^ не послђшаша,

²⁰

And the Spirit of God came upon Azarias the son of Jodae the priest, and he stood up above the people, and said, Thus saith the Lord, Why do ye transgress the commandments of the Lord? so shall ye not prosper; for ye have forsaken the Lord, and he will forsake you.

²⁰

и^ дх~ъ бж~їи ѓ^блече а^за'рїю сн~а и^ѓ^да'е^ва сщ~енника, и^ ста` преD людми` и^ реq и^мъ, сїя рече г~ь, почто` престђпа'е^те повеле'нїя гн~я, не бл~гоё^годи'тся, ја%ко ѓ^ста'висте г~а, и^ ѓ^ста'витъ ва'съ,

²¹

And they conspired against him, and stoned him by command of king Joas in the court of the Lord's house.

²¹

и^ събра'вшися сђпроти'вђ е^мђ и^ поби'ша и& ка'менїемъ по повеле'нїю и^ѓ^а'са цр~я” Въ дворњ` до'мђ гн~я,

²²

So Joas remembered not the kindness which his father Jodae had exercised towards him, but slew his son. And as he died, he said, The Lord look upon it, and judge.

²²

и^ не въспомянђ и^ѓ^а'съ цр~ь млрsдїя и^же сътвори и^ѓ^да'и эTц~ъ е^го с нимъ. н^о ё^би` сн~а е^го, и^же е^гда` ё^мира'ше и^ рече, да ви'дитъ и^ сђдиT г~ь”

²³

And it came to pass after the end of the year, that the host of Syria went up against him, and came against Juda and Jerusalem: and they slew all the chiefs of the people among the people, and all their spoils they sent to the king of Damascus.

²³

И$ бы'сть по съверше'нїю лњта. въстаста проти'вђ е^го во'и сљ=рскїи, и^ прїидо'ша въ і^ё^де'ю и^ въ і^ерsлимъ, и^ ё^би'ша вс^я нача'лники людїи въ цр~кви, и^ ве'сь плњ'нъ и^хъ посла'ша цр~ю въ дама'скъ.

²⁴

For the army of Syria came with few men, yet God gave into their hands a very large army, because they had forsaken the God of their fathers; and he brought judgments on Joas.

²⁴

зане` ѕњ'ло ма'ло прїиде число` сљ=рїиско. и^ б~ъ преда'сть в рђ'цњ и^хъ без#чи'сленое мно'жество си'лъ ѕњ'ло. сего ра'ди и^же ѓ^ста'виша г~а б~а эTц~ъ свои^хъ” И$ на и^ѓ^а'са же сътвори сђ'дъ.

²⁵

And after they had departed from him, when they had left him in sore diseases, then his servants conspired against him because of the blood of the son of Jodae the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died, and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchre of the kings.

²⁵

и^ эTи^дђщи ѓ^ста'виша е^го въ бо'лезни вели'цњ. въста'ша же проти'вђ е^мђ раби` е^го на м#ще'нїе кро'ви а^за'рїины сн~а и^ѓ^да'я сщ~енника. и^ ё^би'ша е^го на посте'ли е^го и^ ё'мре, и^ погребо'ша е^го въ градњ двд~вњ, н^о не въ гро'бњхъ цр~ьскихъ”

²⁶

And they that conspired against him were Zabed the son of Samaath the Ammanite, and Jozabed the son of Samareth the Moabite.

²⁶

Съпроти'вльшїи же ся е^мђ заваџъ сн~ъ сема'џа а^мани'тянина. і^ и^ѓ^зава'џъ сн~ъ семариџовъ моа^ви'тянинъ”

²⁷

And all his sons, and the five came to him: and the other matters, behold, they are written in the book of the kings. And Amasias his son reigned in his stead.

²⁷

И$ сн~ове е^го вс^и, и^ пристђпи'ша к немђ, е~, и^ ё^би'ша е^го, и^ про'чая сло'въ е^го с^е напи'сана сђть въ лњтопи'сцђ црsкоM”
