2 Hou Olelesu 24
1 Youa: sie da lalelegele, ea ode fesu gidigili, Yuda hina bagade hamoi. E da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade ganodini esala, ode 40 agoanega Yuda fi ouligilalu. Ea ame da Biasiba moilai uda galu, ea dio amo Sibia.
Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba.
2 Yihoida ea esalusu huluane amo ganodini, Youa: sie da Hina Gode hahawane ba: ma: ne hou hamonanusu. Bai gobele salasu dunu Yihoida da hou noga: idafa ema olelei.
And Joash did what was right in the eyes of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
3 Yihoiada da hina bagade Youa: sie idua aduna ilegei. Elama dunu manolali amola uda manolali da lalelegei.
Jehoiada took for himself two wives, and he had sons and daughters.
4 Amogalu fa: no, Youa: sie da Debolo Diasu dodoa: musa: dawa: i.
Some time later, Joash set his heart on repairing the house of the LORD.
5 Youa: sie da gobele salasu dunu amola Lifai fi dunu ili ema misa: ne sia: ne, ilia da Yuda moilai huluane amoga asili, muni amo Debolo Diasu dodoa: musa: lama: ne sia: i. E da ilima hedolo masa: ne sia: i. Be ilia hedolo hame asi.
So he gathered the priests and Levites and said, “Go out to the cities of Judah and collect the money due annually from all Israel, to repair the house of your God. Do it quickly.” The Levites, however, did not make haste.
6 Amaiba: le, Youa: sie da ilia ouligisu dunu Yihoida ema misa: ne sia: ne, amola ema amane adole ba: i, “Na da Lifai dunuma, ilia da su lasu (da: gisi) amo Hina Gode ea hawa: hamosu dunu Mousese da Hina Gode Ea Abula Diasu ouligima: ne ilegei, amo Yuda amola Yelusaleme fima lama: ne masa: ne sia: i. Ilia hame lala asiba: le, di da abuliba: le amo hou hame ouligibala: ?”
So the king called Jehoiada the high priest and said, “Why have you not required the Levites to bring from Judah and Jerusalem the tax imposed by Moses the servant of the LORD and by the assembly of Israel for the Tent of the Testimony?”
7 (Wadela: idafa uda A: dalaia ea fa: no bobogesu dunu da Debolo Diasu wadela: lesi. Ilia da hadigi liligi mogili amo ogogosu ‘gode’ Ba: ilema nodone sia: ne gadomusa: lai.)
For the sons of that wicked woman Athaliah had broken into the house of God and had even used the sacred objects of the house of the LORD for the Baals.
8 Amalalu, Yihoida da hamoma: ne sia: beba: le, Lifai fi dunu da gagili hamone, Debolo Diasu logo holeiga ligisi.
At the king’s command a chest was made and placed outside, at the gate of the house of the LORD.
9 Ilia Yelusaleme amola Yuda fi dunu huluanema, ilia da muni amo da Gode Ea hawa: hamosu dunu Mousese da bisili hafoga: i sogega lidili amola lama: ne ilegei, amo defele Hina Godema iamisa: ne sia: si.
And a proclamation was issued in Judah and Jerusalem that they were to bring to the LORD the tax imposed by Moses the servant of God on Israel in the wilderness.
10 Dunu amola ilia ouligisu dunu da amo hou hahawane ba: i. Ilia da ilia su (‘da: gisi’) muni gaguli misini, gagili nabalesi.
All the officers and all the people rejoiced and brought their contributions, and they dropped them in the chest until it was full.
11 Eso huluane, Lifai dunu da amo gagili ouligisu dunuma gaguli asi. Ilia da amo gagili ganodini muni bagade ba: loba, hina bagade ea sia: dedesu dunu amola Gobele Salasu Hina dunu ea ilegei dunu, ela da misini, muni lidilalu, gagili ea sogebiga bu ligisisu. Amaiba: le, ilia da muni bagade gagadoi.
Whenever the chest was brought by the Levites to the king’s overseers and they saw that there was a large amount of money, the royal scribe and the officer of the high priest would come and empty the chest and carry it back to its place. They did this daily and gathered the money in abundance.
12 Amalalu, hina bagade amola Yihoiada da amo muni Debolo Diasu hawa: hamosu ouligisu dunu ilima iasu. Amo dunu ilia da diasu gagusu dunu, gele goudasu dunu amola gele dadamusu dunu, ilima iasu. Amola ilia da ifa gaga: i, amola gele gadelale sa: i, amo bu hahamoma: ne, amola eno hawa: hamoma: ne, amo dabe iasu.
Then the king and Jehoiada would give the money to those who supervised the labor on the house of the LORD to hire stonecutters and carpenters to restore the house of the LORD, as well as workers in iron and bronze to repair the house of the LORD.
13 Ilia huluane gasa fili, hawa: hamone, Debolo Diasu da bu hahamoi dagoi ba: i. Debolo Diasu da ea musa: gasa bagade gagui hou bu ba: i.
So the workmen labored, and in their hands the repair work progressed. They restored the house of God according to its specifications, and they reinforced it.
14 Debolo Diasu dodoa: su da hamoi dagoloba, muni dialu ilia da hina bagade amola Yihoiada elama i. Amo muniga ela da silifa ofodo, dalabede, gamali gesosu liligi, amola eno silifa o gouli liligi huluane, amo hahamomusa: ilegei. Yihoiada da esaloba, ilia da Debolo Diasuga gobele salasu hou gebewane hamonanu.
When they were finished, they brought the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada to make with it the articles for the house of the LORD—utensils for the service and for the burnt offerings, dishes, and other objects of gold and silver. Throughout the days of Jehoiada, burnt offerings were presented regularly in the house of the LORD.
15 E da da: idafa hamone, ode 130 agoane gidigiloba, e da bogoi.
When Jehoiada was old and full of years, he died at the age of 130.
16 E da Isala: ili dunu fi amola Debolo Diasu hou noga: le fidi amola Gode Ea hawa: hamosu noga: le hamoi. Amo dawa: le, ilia da ea da: i hodo amo hina bagade gele gelabo Da: ibidi Moilai bai bagadega, amo ganodini sali.
And Jehoiada was buried with the kings in the City of David, because he had done what was good in Israel for God and His temple.
17 Be Yihoiada da bogoloba, amogalu Yuda ouligisu dunu da Youa: sie ilia fada: i sia: fa: no bobogemusa: fuligala: i.
After the death of Jehoiada, however, the officials of Judah came and paid homage to the king, and he listened to them.
18 Amaiba: le, Yuda dunu da Debolo Diasu ganodini, ilia aowalalia Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu hou fisiagale, ogogosu loboga hamoi ‘gode’ amola wadela: i uda ‘gode’ Asila agoai loboga hamoi liligi ilima muni nodone sia: ne gadosu hou hamosu. Ilia da amo wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, Hina Gode Ea ougi hou da Yuda amola Yelusaleme fi ilima doaga: i.
They abandoned the house of the LORD, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherah poles and idols. So wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this guilt of theirs.
19 Hina Gode da ilima balofede dunu, ili Ema sinidigima: ne sisasu ima: ne asunasi. Be ilia da amo sisasu hame nabi.
Nevertheless, the LORD sent prophets to bring the people back to Him and to testify against them; but they would not listen.
20 Amalalu, Hina Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa da Segalaia (gobele salasu dunu Yihoiada egefe) amoga aligila sa: i. E da dunu huluane ilia midadi lelu, amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, ‘Dilia abuliba: le Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i hame naba? Dilia da didili hame hamomu. Dilia da Hina Gode fisiagaiba: le, E amola da dili fisiagai dagoi.’”
Then the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest, who stood up before the people and said to them, “This is what God says: ‘Why do you transgress the commandments of the LORD so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, He has forsaken you.’”
21 Hina bagade Youa: sie da eno dunu gilisili, Segalaia fane legemusa: ilegei. Hina bagade da sia: beba: le, Yuda fi dunu da Hina Gode Ea Debolo Diasu gagoi ganodini, Segalaia igiga gala: le, medole legei dagoi.
But they conspired against Zechariah, and by order of the king, they stoned him in the courtyard of the house of the LORD.
22 Youa: sie da Segalaia eda Yihoiada ema mae fisili noga: le hawa: hamoi amo gogolei. Amola ea sia: beba: le, ilia Segalaia medole legei. Segalaia da bogolaloba, e amane wele sia: i, “Hina Gode da dia hamobe ba: ma: mu amola dima se iasu imunu da defea!”
Thus King Joash failed to remember the kindness that Zechariah’s father Jehoiada had extended to him. Instead, Joash killed Jehoiada’s son. As he lay dying, Zechariah said, “May the LORD see this and call you to account.”
23 Amo ode dogoa, Silia dadi gagui wa: i da Yuda amola Yelusaleme fi doagala: i. Ilia da ouligisu dunu huluane medole legei amola liligi bagohamedafa susuguli, Dama: sagase moilai bai bagadega gaguli asi.
In the spring, the army of Aram went to war against Joash. They entered Judah and Jerusalem and destroyed all the leaders of the people, and they sent all the plunder to their king in Damascus.
24 Silia dadi gagui wa: i da fonobahadi fawane, be Hina Gode da ili fidibiba: le, ilia da Yuda fi dadi gagui wa: i bagadedafa amo hasali dagoi. Bai Yuda fi dunu da ilia aowalalia Hina Gode fisiagai dagoi. Hina bagade Youa: sie da agoane se iasu lai.
Although the Aramean army had come with only a few men, the LORD delivered into their hand a very great army. Because Judah had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers, judgment was executed on Joash.
25 E da bagade fafa: ginisi ba: i. Amola ha lai dunu da ilia sogega bu ahoanoba, eagene ouligisu dunu aduna da ilegele, ea debea da: iya esala, e medole legei. Ela da gobele salasu dunu Yihoiada ea mano fasu dabe ima: ne e fane legei. Ilia da ea da: i hodo amo Da: ibidi Moilai bai bagadega ulidogone sali. Be hina bagade ilia bogoi gele gelabo ganodini hame sali.
And when the Arameans had withdrawn, they left Joash severely wounded. His own servants conspired against him for shedding the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and they killed him on his bed. So he died and was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
26 (Dunu amo da ilegele e medole legei, elea dio da Sa: iba: de amola Yihosaba: de. Sa: iba: de da A: mone fi uda ea dio amo Simia: de amo egefe galu, amola Yihosaba: de da Moua: be fi uda ea dio amo Similidi amo egefe galu.)
Those who conspired against Joash were Zabad son of Shimeath the Ammonitess and Jehozabad son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
27 Youa: sie egefelalia hou, amola balofede dunu ema gagabosu ba: la: lusu, amola ea Debolo Diasu dodoa: su hou, amo huluane da “Hina bagade buga Dedei ea Bai Olelesu Meloa” amo ganodini dedene legei. Youa: sie egefe A: masaia da e bagia Yuda hina bagade hamoi.
The accounts of the sons of Joash, as well as the many pronouncements about him and about the restoration of the house of God, are indeed written in the Treatise of the Book of the Kings. And his son Amaziah reigned in his place.
