Then the Spirit of God came over Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, and he stood above the people and said to them, “This is what God has said: ‘Why do you transgress the commandments of the Lord so that you cannot prosper? Because you have abandoned (turned away from) the Lord, He has also abandoned (turned away from) you.’”
And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the Lord, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the Lord, he hath also forsaken you.
Then the Spirit of God moved Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest to speak up: “God’s word: Why have you deliberately walked away from God’s commandments? You can’t live this way! If you walk out on God, he’ll walk out on you.” 21-22 But they worked out a plot against Zechariah, and with the complicity of the king—he actually gave the order!—they murdered him, pelting him with rocks, right in the court of The Temple of God. That’s the thanks King Joash showed the loyal Jehoiada, the priest who had made him king. He murdered Jehoiada’s son. Zechariah’s last words were, “Look, God! Make them pay for this!” 23-24 A year or so later Aramean troops attacked Joash. They invaded Judah and Jerusalem, massacred the leaders, and shipped all their plunder back to the king in Damascus. The Aramean army was quite small, but God used them to wipe out Joash’s large army—their punishment for deserting God, the God of their ancestors. Arameans implemented God’s judgment against Joash. 25-27 They left Joash badly wounded and his own servants finished him off—it was a palace conspiracy, avenging the murder of the son of Jehoiada the priest. They killed him in his bed. Afterward they buried him in the City of David, but he was not honored with a grave in the royal cemetery. The temple conspirators were Zabad, whose mother was Shimeath from Ammon, and Jehozabad, whose mother was Shimrith from Moab. The story of his sons, the many sermons preached to Joash, and the account of his repairs on The Temple of God can be found contained in the commentary on the royal history.Amaziah, Joash’s son, was the next king.
Then the Spirit of God [l]came on Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people and said to them, “Thus God has said, ‘Why do you transgress the commandments of the Lord and do not prosper? Because you have forsaken the Lord, He has also forsaken you.’”
Then the Spirit of God came on Zechariah the priest. He was the son of Jehoiada. Zechariah stood in front of the people. He told them, “God says, ‘Why do you refuse to obey my commands? You will not have success. You have deserted me. So I have deserted you.’ ”
Then the Spirit of God came on Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest. He stood before the people and said, “This is what God says: ‘Why do you disobey the Lord’s commands? You will not prosper. Because you have forsaken the Lord, he has forsaken you.’”

فَحَلَّ رُوحُ اللهِ عَلَى زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ يَهُويَادَاعَ الْكَاهِنِ، فَوَقَفَ أَمَامَ الشَّعْبِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ اللهُ: لِمَاذَا تَتَعَدَّوْنَ أَوَامِرَ الرَّبِّ فَلا تُفْلِحُوا؟ لَقَدْ نَبَذْتُمُ الرَّبَّ فَنَبَذَكُمُ الرَّبُّ».

Así fue como el rey Joás no tomó en cuenta la bondad de Joyadá y mató a Zacarías, quien al morir dijo: «¡Que el Señor vea esto y te juzgue!»

그때 하나님의 성령께서 제사장 여호야다의 아들 스가랴를 감동시키시자 그는 백성들이 볼 수 있는 높은 곳에 서서 이렇게 외쳤다. “여호와께서는 왜 여러분이 그의 명령에 불순종하고 스스로 불행을 초래하는지 묻고 계십니다. 여러분이 여호와를 버렸으므로 여호와께서도 여러분을 버리셨습니다!”
