why [are]_not,you(pl) (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_called the=king Yəhōʼāsh/(Jehoash) (to),Jehoiada the=priest/officer and,(to),priests and=he/it_said to,them why [are]_not,you(pl) repairing DOM damage_of of,the_house and=now not take money from,with acquaintances_of,your(pl) that/for/because/then/when for,the_damage_of of,the_house you(pl),will_give_it )

King Joash is using the question form to express frustration and to rebuke the priests for their failure to repair the temple. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [You have not been successful in strengthening the damage of the house.]
