2 Manghai 12
1 Jehu kah a kum rhih dongah Jehoash te manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum sawmli manghai. A manu ming tah Beersheba lamkah Zihiah ni.
In the seventh year of Jehu, the reign of Joash began; he reigned for forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zibiah, of Beersheba.
2 Jehoash loh amah tue khuiah tah khosoih Jehoiada kah a thuinuet bangla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem ni a saii.
Joash did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh all the time, because Jehoiada the priest was instructing him.
3 Te cakhaw hmuensang te khoe pawh. Hmuensang ah pilnam a nawn tih a phum pueng.
But the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
4 Jehoash loh khosoih rhoek taengah, “BOEIPA im la a khuen hmuencim tangka boeih khaw, hlang aka pongpa rhoek kah tangka khaw, amah phu dongkah hinglu tangka khaw, hlang lungbuei lamloh BOEIPA im la khuen ham aka cet tangka boeih khaw,
Joash said to the priests, “All the money that is brought in as sacred offerings into the house of Yahweh, that money for which each person is assessed—whether it is the money collected in the census, or the money received from personal vows, or the money brought in by people motivated by Yahweh in their hearts to give—
5 khosoih rhoek long khaw amah kah a hmat hlang taeng lamkah te amamih loh doe uh saeh lamtah im a puut cungkuem a hmuh vanbanglaBOEIPAim kah a puut te amih loh biing uh saeh,” a ti nah.
the priests should receive the money from one of their treasurers and repair whatever damage is found in the temple.”
6 Tedae manghai Jehoash a kum kul kum thum a lo duela khosoih rhoek loh im puut te biing uh pawh.
But by the twenty-third year of King Joash, the priests had not repaired anything in the temple.
7 Te dongah manghai Jehoash loh khosoih Jehoiada neh khosoih rhoek te a khue. Te phoeiah amih te, “Balae tih im puut te na biing uh pawh? Te dongah na hmat taeng lamkah tangka te lo uh lamtah im puut dongkah ham tloeng uh laeh boeh,” a ti nah.
Then King Joash called for Jehoiada the priest and for the other priests; he said to them, “Why have you not repaired anything in the temple? Now take no more money from your taxpayers, but take what has been collected for repairs of the temple and give it to those who can make the repairs.”
8 Khosoih rhoek loh a rhoih uh dongah pilnam taeng lamkah tangka te coi uh voel pawt tih im puut te khaw biing uh pawh.
So the priests consented to take no more money from the people and not repair the temple themselves.
9 Khosoih Jehoiada loh thingkawng pakhat te a loh tih a tlaeng dongah a khui a buet. Te te BOEIPA im la aka kun hlang kah bantang, bantang kah hmueihtuk taengah a khueh. Te vaengah BOEIPA im la aka pawk tangka boeih te cingkhaa aka tawt khosoih rhoek loh a khuila a sang uh.
Instead, Jehoiada the priest took a chest, bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of Yahweh. The priests who were guarding the temple entrance put into it all the money that was brought to the house of Yahweh.
10 Thingkawng dongkah tangka hlom te a hmuh van neh manghai kah cadaek neh khosoih ham te cet rhoi. Te phoeiah BOEIPA im kah a hmuh tangka te a cun tih a tae.
Whenever they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king's scribe and the high priest would come and put the money in bags and then count it, the money found in the temple of Yahweh.
11 Tangka te aka soepsoei rhoek loh BOEIPA im bi saii aka saii aka dawn, aka dawn rhoek kah a kut, a kut dongah a tloeng pauh. Te phoeiah thing kutthai taeng neh BOEIPA im kah bi aka saii, im aka sa rhoek taengah a paek.
They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of men who took care of the temple of Yahweh. They paid it out to the carpenters and the builders who worked on the temple of Yahweh,
12 Im aka biing rhoek taeng neh lungto aka phaek taengah khaw, thing aka lai taeng neh BOEIPA im puut biing nah ham lungto lungrhaih ham khaw, te boeih te im biing vaengkah ham a paek.
and to the masons and the stonecutters, for buying timber and cutting stone to repair the temple of Yahweh, and for all that was needed to be paid to repair it.
13 Tedae BOEIPA im kah a khuen tangka lamloh BOEIPA im kah cakben baeldung, paitaeh, baelcak, olueng, sui hnopai neh cakben hnopai boeih khaw saii pawh.
But the money that was brought into the house of Yahweh did not pay to make for it any silver cups, lamp trimmers, basins, trumpets, or any gold or silver furnishing.
14 Te te bitat aka saii rhoek taengah a paek uh tih te nen te BOEIPA im a moem uh.
They gave this money to those who did the work of repairing the house of Yahweh.
15 Amih khaw uepomnah neh a saii uh dongah bitat aka saii rhoek taengah paek ham amih kut ah tangka a paek uh hlang rhoek te a tae uh voel moenih.
In addition, they did not require the money paid for repairs to be accounted for by the men who received it and paid it to the workmen, because these men were honest.
16 Khosoih la a om uh dongah hmaithennah tangka neh boirhaem tangka tah BOEIPA im la khuen pawh.
But the money for the guilt offerings and the money for the sin offerings was not brought into the temple of Yahweh, because it belonged to the priests.
17 Te vaengah Aram manghai Hazael te cet tih Gath a vathoh thil. Te te a loh van neh Jerusalem te paan hamla Hazael loh a maelhmai a hooi.
Then Hazael king of Aram attacked and fought against Gath, and took it. Hazael then turned to attack Jerusalem.
18 Judah manghai Jehoash loh a napa Judah manghai rhoek, Jehoshaphat, Jehoram neh Ahaziah loh a hoep hnocim cungkuem neh amah hnocim khaw, BOEIPA im neh manghai im thakvoh khuikah a hmuh sui boeih te khaw a loh tih Aram manghai Hazael taengla a pat daengah Jerusalem lamloh khoe uh.
Joash king of Judah took all the things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had set apart, and what he had set apart, and all the gold that was found in the storerooms of the houses of Yahweh and of the king and he sent them to Hazael king of Aram. Then Hazael went away from Jerusalem.
19 Joash kah ol noi neh a saii boeih te Judah manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?
As for the other matters concerning Joash, all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?
20 A sal rhoek te thoo uh tih lairhui neh a hlaengtang uh coeng dongah Silla la aka suntla Joash te Bethmillo ah a ngawn uh.
His servants arose and plotted together; they attacked Joash in Beth Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla.
21 A sal Shimeath capa Jozakhar neh Shomer capa Jehozabad loh anih te a ngawn tih duek. Te dongah anih te David khopuei kah a napa rhoek taengah a up uh. Te phoeiah a capa Amaziah te anih yueng la manghai.
Jozabad son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad son of Shomer, his servants, attacked him, and he died. They buried Joash with his ancestors in the city of David, and Amaziah, his son, became king in his place.
