Joash was seven years old when he began to reign; he reigned for forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zibiah, of Beersheba.

Joash did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh all the days of Jehoiada, the priest.

He gathered together the priests and the Levites, and he said to them, “Go out every year to the cities of Judah and gather from all Israel money to repair the house of your God. Make sure that you start right away.” The Levites did nothing at first.
6 Hijechun Joash lengpan thempulen Jehoiada chu akouvin adongtan ahi, “Ipi dinga kumseh a houin semphatna dinga Pakai lhachapa Mosen mipiholah a sum dong dinga daan anasem dungjui ja thupeh kanei chu Levi ten Judah leh Jerusalemma agadon louvu ham? atin ahi
So the king called for Jehoiada the high priest and said to him, “Why have you not required the Levites to bring in from Judah and Jerusalem the tax levied by Moses the servant of Yahweh and by the assembly of Israel for the tent of the covenant decrees?”
7 Ajeh chu miphalou numeinu Athaliah chaten houin chu avohsetnuva Pakai houin sunga thil theng hochu Baal doi houna – ana manna asuhboh ahi
For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God and had given all the holy things of the house of Yahweh to the Baals.

It happened that whenever the chest was brought to the king's officials by the hand of the Levites, and whenever they saw that there was much money in it, the king's scribe and the high priest's official would come, empty the chest, and take it and carry it back to its place. They did this day after day, gathering large amounts of money.

The king and Jehoiada gave the money to those who did the work of serving in the house of Yahweh. These men hired stonemasons and carpenters to restore the house of Yahweh, and also those who worked in iron and bronze.

When they finished, they brought the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada. This money was used to make furnishings for the house of Yahweh, utensils with which to serve and make offerings—spoons and utensils of gold and silver. They offered burnt offerings in the house of Yahweh continually for all the days of Jehoiada.
15 Jehoiada chu atehcheh tan kum jakhat le som thum alhingin athitan ahi
Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and then he died; he was 130 years old when he died.

They buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, toward God, and to God's house.
17 Jehoiada thinunghin Juda lamkaite ahungun lengpa komah chibai ahung bohun ahileh lengpan jong amaho thu angaitaan ahi
Now after the death of Jehoiada, the leaders of Judah came and did honor to the king. Then the king listened to them.

They forsook the house of Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, and worshiped the Asherah gods and the idols. God's anger came on Judah and Jerusalem for this wrongdoing of theirs.

The Spirit of God came on Zechariah son of Jehoiada, the priest; Zechariah stood above the people and said to them, “God says this: Why do you transgress the commandments of Yahweh, so that you cannot prosper? Since you have forsaken Yahweh, he has also forsaken you.”
21 Lengpa Joash hin Zechariah dounan mipitoh akihoutohun, hitichun lengpa thupeh dungjuijin mipihon Pakai houin hongcha – a songin aseptaovin ahi
But they plotted against him; at the king's command, they stoned him with stones in the courtyard of the house of Yahweh.

In this manner, Joash, the king, ignored the kindness that Jehoiada, Zechariah's father, had done to him. Instead, he killed Jehoiada's son. When Zechariah was dying, he said, “May Yahweh see this and call you to account.”
23 Hiche kumchun nipi laijin Syria sepaiten Judah leh Jerusalem mite ahindel khummun alamkai hou athat gammun thiltamtah achomdohun Damascus lengpa agah thotnun ahi
It came about at the end of the year, that the army of Aram came up against Joash. They came to Judah and Jerusalem; they killed all the leaders of the people and sent all the plunder from them to the king of Damascus.

Although the army of the Arameans had come with only a few soldiers, Yahweh gave them victory over a very great army, because Judah had forsaken Yahweh, the God of their ancestors. In this way the Arameans brought judgment on Joash.
25 Ama chu nasatah in akisuhkha tan chuleh agalmiten adalhah phat chun asepai lamkai teni akihoutoh lhonin alupna – a agathat lhon taan ahi. Jehoiada thempupa chapa anatha jeh a aphu ana lah lhon ahitai. amachu David khopia anavuijun ahi, ahinlah lengte kivuina mun ana hitapoi
By the time that the Arameans had gone, Joash had been severely wounded. His own servants plotted against him because of the murder of the sons of Jehoiada, the priest. They killed him in his bed, and he died; they buried him in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
26 Ama douna –a ana kihoutoh teni chu Ammon mi Shimeath chapa Zabad leh Moab mi Shimrith chapa Jehozabad ahi lhonne
These were the persons who plotted against him: Zabad son of Shimeath, an Ammonite woman; and Jehozabad son of Shimrith, a Moabite woman.
27 Lengte lekhabu ah Joash chate thusim leh ama douna chung changa themgao thusei dohho chuleh houin ana sahphat thuho thusim ana kijih lut in ahi, ama khellin achapa Amaziah in vai ahin homtaan ahi
Now the accounts about his sons, the important prophecies that were spoken about him, and the rebuilding of the house of God, see, they are written in the commentary on the book of the kings. Amaziah his son became king in his place.
