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, Jehoash reigned. And he reigned for forty years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Zebiah from Beersheba.
2 Jehoash loe qaima Jehoiada zaehoihhaih thungah oh naah, Angraeng mikhnukah kamsoem hmuen to sak.
And Jehoash did what was right in the sight of the Lord, during all the days that Jehoiada, the priest, taught him.
3 Toe hmuensangnawk to takhoe ai; to pongah kaminawk mah hmuensang ah angbawnhaih to sak o moe, hmuihoih to thlaek o.
Yet still he did not take away the high places. For the people were still immolating, and burning incense, in the high places.
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,
And Jehoash said to the priests: “All of the money for the holy things, which has been brought into the temple of the Lord from those who pass by, which is offered for the price of a soul, and which they bring into the temple of the Lord willingly, from their own free heart:
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 the priests, according to their ranks, take and use it in order to repair the surfaces of the house, wherever they see anything in need of repair.”
6 Toe Jehoash siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning pumphae, thumto karoek to, qaimanawk mah kamro tempul to pakhraih o ai.
And yet, even until the twenty-third year of king Jehoash, the priests did not repair the surfaces of 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.
And king Jehoash called the high priest, Jehoiada, and the priests, saying to them: “Why have you not repaired the surfaces of the temple? Therefore, you may no longer accept money according to your ranks. Instead, return it in order that the temple may be repaired.”
8 Qaimanawk mah kamro tempul to pakhraih hmah si loe, kaminawk khae ih phoisa doeh la o hmah si, tiah palungdue o.
And so the priests were prohibited from accepting any more money from the people to repair the surfaces of the house.
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.
And the high priest, Jehoiada, took a certain chest, and he opened a hole in the top, and he placed it beside the altar, to the right of those who were entering the house of the Lord. And the priests who kept the doors put all the money in it which was being brought into the temple 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.
And when they saw that there was a great amount of money in the chest, the scribe of the king and the high priest went up and poured it out. And they counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord.
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,
And they gave it out, by number and measure, to the hands of those who were over the masons of the house of the Lord. And they weighed it out to the carpenters and masons, to those who were working in the house of the Lord
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.
and restoring the surfaces, and to those who were cutting stones, and buying timber and stones to be cut, so that the repairs to the house of the Lord might be finished: for all that was needed toward the expenses in order to strengthen the house.
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.
Yet truly, from the same money, they did not make for the temple of the Lord water pitchers, or small hooks, or censers, or trumpets, or any vessel of gold or silver, from the money that was brought into the temple of the Lord.
14 To phoisa loe toksah kaminawk, Angraeng im pakhraih kaminawk hanah ni a paek o.
For it was given to those who were doing the work, so that the temple of the Lord might be repaired.
15 Toksah kaminawk paek hanah phoisa talawk kaminawk loe, oepthok kami ah oh o pongah, phoisa to pakoep o ai boeh.
And they did not ration the money to the men who received it in order to distribute it to the artisans. Instead, they bestowed it with faith.
16 Sakpazaehaih pongah paek ih phoisa hoi zae pongah paek ih phoisa loe, Angraeng im ah sin o ai; qaimanawk mah lak o.
Yet truly, the money for offenses and the money for sins, they did not bring into the temple of the Lord, since it was for 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.
Then Hazael, the king of Syria, ascended and fought against Gath, and he captured it. And he directed his face, so that he might ascend against 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.
For this reason, Jehoash, the king of Judah, took all the sanctified things, which Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, the kings of Judah, had consecrated and which he himself had offered, and all the silver that could be found in the treasuries of the temple of the Lord and in the palace of the king, and he sent it to Hazael, the king of Syria. And so he 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?
Now the rest of the words of Jehoash, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days 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.
Then his servants rose up and conspired among themselves. And they struck down Jehoash, at the house of Millo, on the descent of 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.
For Jozacar, the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died. And they buried him with his fathers in the city of David. And Amaziah, his son, reigned in his place.
