< 2 Siangpahrang 12 >
1 Jehu siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning sarihto naah, Jehoash loe siangpahrang ah oh amtong boeh; anih loe Jerusalem ah saning quipalito thung siangpahrang ah oh. Amno ih ahmin loe Beersheba kami, Zibiah.
In the seventh year of Jehu, Joash became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba.
2 Jehoash loe qaima Jehoiada zaehoihhaih thungah oh naah, Angraeng mikhnukah kamsoem hmuen to sak.
And Joash did what was right in the eyes of the LORD all the days he was instructed by Jehoiada the priest.
3 Toe hmuensangnawk to takhoe ai; to pongah kaminawk mah hmuensang ah angbawnhaih to sak o moe, hmuihoih to thlaek o.
Nevertheless, the high places were not removed; the people continued sacrificing and burning incense there.
4 Jehoash mah qaimanawk khaeah, Angraeng im ah paek ih hmuennawk to zawh moe, hak ih phoisa, milu cazin thungah kaom kaminawk boih khaeah kok ih phoisa, kami maeto mah lokkamhaih hoiah paek ih phoisa, kami boih mah palunghuemhaih hoiah angmah koehah paek ih phoisanawk to Angraeng imthung ah sin oh,
Then Joash said to the priests, “Collect all the money brought as sacred gifts into the house of the LORD—the census money, the money from vows, and the money brought voluntarily into the house of the LORD.
5 qaimanawk boih mah phoisa pakuem kaminawk khae hoiah phoisa to la o nasoe loe, kamro tempul pakhraih hanah patoh o nasoe, tiah a naa.
Let every priest receive it from his constituency, and let it be used to repair any damage found in the temple.”
6 Toe Jehoash siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning pumphae, thumto karoek to, qaimanawk mah kamro tempul to pakhraih o ai.
By the twenty-third year of the reign of Joash, however, the priests had not yet repaired the damage to the temple.
7 To pacoengah Jehoash siangpahrang mah qaima Jehoiada hoi kalah qaimanawk to kawk moe, nihcae khaeah, Kamro tempul hae tipongah na pakhraih o ai loe? Vaihi loe phoisa pakuem kaminawk khae ih phoisa to nangmacae hanah la o hmalai ah; kamro tempul pakhraih hanah paek oh, tiah a naa.
So King Joash called Jehoiada and the other priests and said, “Why have you not repaired the damage to the temple? Now, therefore, take no more money from your constituency, but hand it over for the repair of the temple.”
8 Qaimanawk mah kamro tempul to pakhraih hmah si loe, kaminawk khae ih phoisa doeh la o hmah si, tiah palungdue o.
So the priests agreed that they would not receive money from the people and that they would not repair the temple themselves.
9 Toe qaima Jehoiada mah thingkhong maeto lak moe, akhaw taqawt; to thingkhong to Angraeng im akunhaih bantang bang, hmaicam taengah a suek; Angraeng im ah sinh o ih phoisanawk boih to khongkha toep qaimanawk mah thingkhong thungah pacaeng o.
Then Jehoiada the priest took a chest, bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar on the right side as one enters the house of the LORD. There the priests who guarded the threshold put all the money brought into the house of the LORD.
10 Thingkhong thung ih phoisa pop parai naah, siangpahrang ih ca tarikung hoi kalen koek qaima to angzoh hoi moe, nihnik mah Angraeng tempul thungah sinh o ih phoisa to kroek hoi boih pacoeng ah, pasah thungah pacaeng hoi.
Whenever they saw that there was a large amount of money in the chest, the royal scribe and the high priest would go up, count the money brought into the house of the LORD, and tie it up in bags.
11 Kroek tangcae phoisa to Angraeng im pakhraihaih toksah kaminawk ban ah paek o; phoisa to Angraeng imthung ah toksah kami, thing tok sah kami hoi im sah kaminawk,
Then they would put the counted money into the hands of those who supervised the work on the house of the LORD, who in turn would pay those doing the work—the carpenters, builders,
12 param long sui kop kaminawk, thlung aah kop kaminawk, Angraeng im pakhraih hanah, thingnawk, aah tangcae thlungnawk to qanh moe, Angraeng im pakhraih hanah kangaih kalah hmuennawk qan haih hanah a paek o.
masons, and stonecutters. They also purchased timber and dressed stone to repair the damage to the house of the LORD, and they paid the other expenses of the temple repairs.
13 Toe Angraeng imthung ah patoh ih sum kanglung sabae kathuknawk, taitaehnawk, boengloeng kathuknawk, mongkahnawk, sui hoi sum kanglung laom sabaenawk sak hanah to phoisa to patoh o ai.
However, the money brought into the house of the LORD was not used for making silver basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, trumpets, or any articles of gold or silver for the house of the LORD.
14 To phoisa loe toksah kaminawk, Angraeng im pakhraih kaminawk hanah ni a paek o.
Instead, it was paid to those doing the work, and with it they repaired the house of the LORD.
15 Toksah kaminawk paek hanah phoisa talawk kaminawk loe, oepthok kami ah oh o pongah, phoisa to pakoep o ai boeh.
No accounting was required from the men who received the money to pay the workmen, because they acted with integrity.
16 Sakpazaehaih pongah paek ih phoisa hoi zae pongah paek ih phoisa loe, Angraeng im ah sin o ai; qaimanawk mah lak o.
The money from the guilt offerings and sin offerings was not brought into the house of the LORD; it belonged to the priests.
17 To nathuem ah Syria siangpahrang Hazael loe caeh tahang pacoengah, Gath vangpui to tuk moe, a lak; to pacoengah Jerusalem doeh tuk hanah amsak vop.
At that time Hazael king of Aram marched up and fought against Gath and captured it. Then he decided to attack Jerusalem.
18 Judah siangpahrang Jehoash mah, Judah siangpahrang angmah ih ampa ah kaom; Jehosaphat, Jehoram hoi Ahaziah mah tathlangh ih kaciim hmuennawk, angmah ih kaciim hmuennawk boih, Angraeng im hoi siangpahrang im ih suinawk boih to lak moe, Syria siangpahrang Hazael khaeah tangqum ah pat pae; to pacoengah loe Hazael mah Jerusalem to tuh ai ah caehtaak.
So King Joash of Judah took all the sacred objects dedicated by his fathers—Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and Ahaziah, the kings of Judah—along with his own consecrated items and all the gold found in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he sent them to Hazael king of Aram. So Hazael withdrew from Jerusalem.
19 Joash siangpahrang ah oh nathung kaom hmuennawk hoi a sak ih hmuennawk boih loe Judah siangpahrangnawk ahmin pakuemhaih cabu thungah tarik o na ai maw?
As for the rest of the acts of Joash, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
20 Angmah ih tamnanawk loe angthawk o moe, anih hum hanah pacaeng o; Silla vangpui caeh tathukhaih loklam, Millo ah Joash to hum o.
And the servants of Joash rose up and formed a conspiracy and killed him at Beth-millo, on the road down to Silla.
21 Shimeath capa Jozakar hoi Shomer capa Jehozabad hnik mah anih to hum; anih loe a tamna hnik mah hum moe, a duek. Anih loe ampanawk khaeah David vangpui ah aphum o; anih zuengah a capa Amaziah to siangpahrang ah oh.
His servants Jozabad son of Shimeath and Jehozabad son of Shomer struck him down, and he died. And they buried him with his fathers in the City of David, and his son Amaziah reigned in his place.
