2 Setouknae 24
1 Joash teh kum sari touh a pha navah, siangpahrang a tawk. Jerusalem vah kum 40 touh a bawi. A manu e min teh Beersheba tami Zibiah doeh.
Seven years old was Joash when he became king, and forty years did he reign in Jerusalem: and the name of his mother was Zibyah of Beer-sheba'.
2 Vaihma Jehoiada a hring nah thung, Joash teh BAWIPA mithmu hnokahawi a sak.
And Joash did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, all the days of Yehoyada' the priest.
3 Jehoiada ni a yu kahni touh a la pouh teh, ca tongpanaw hoi napuinaw a sak.
And Yehoyada' took for himself two wives, and he begat sons and daughters.
4 Hathnukkhu BAWIPA im pathoup hanelah, Joash ni a kâcai.
And it came to pass after this, that Yoash had it in his mind to renew the house of the Lord.
5 Vaihmanaw hoi Levihnaw a kaw teh, Judah ram e khonaw koe cet awh nateh, kum tangkuem Cathut im pathoup nahanelah, Isarelnaw koe tangka cawng awh. Karanglah tang kâroe awh, telah atipouh. Hatei, Levihnaw ni karanglah kâroe pouh hoeh.
And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather from all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and ye shall make haste in this matter. But the Levites made no haste.
6 Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang ni vaihma bawi e Jehoiada a kaw teh ahni koe, bangkongmaw Levihnaw hah BAWIPA e san Mosi hoi Isarel rangpuinaw lawkpanuesaknae lukkareiim hanelah cawng e tamuk hah Judahnaw hoi Jerusalem e taminaw koe na dei pouh hoeh vaw.
Then called the king for Yehoyada' the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required from the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the contribution [fixed by] Moses the servant of the Lord, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of the testimony?
7 Napui kathout Athaliah e capanaw ni, Cathut im koung a raphoe awh toe. Hahoi BAWIPA im dawk e hnopai pueng hai Baal koevah a poe awh toe, telah atipouh.
For the sons of the wicked 'Athalyahu have made breaches [in] the house of God; and also the holy things of the house of the Lord have they applied to the Be'alim.
8 Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang kâpoelawk patetlah thingkong buet touh a sak awh teh, BAWIPA im alawilah longkha teng a hruek awh.
And at the king's order they made a chest, and placed it at the gate of the house of the Lord on the outside.
9 Hahoi kahrawngum vah Cathut e san Mosi ni, Isarelnaw tamuk cawng hanelah a dei e hah, BAWIPA hanelah koung a thokhai nahan, Judah ram pueng hoi Jerusalem vah a pathang awh.
And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the Lord the contribution [fixed by] Moses the servant of God upon Israel in the wilderness.
10 Hat navah, ukkungnaw hoi taminaw pueng teh a lunghawi awh teh, tangka teh a thokhai awh. Koung a cawng awh hoehnahlan vah, thingkong dawk ka paphnawn lah a pâseng awh toe.
And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and they brought it in, and cast it into the chest, until it was full.
11 Levihnaw ni siangpahrang kabawmkungnaw koe thingkong a thokhai awh teh, tangka moikapap ao tie a panue awh torei teh, siangpahrang e ca kathutkungnaw hoi vaihma bawi kabawmkungnaw ni, thingkong dawk e tangka a la awh hnukkhu, thingkong teh amae hmuen koe bout a hruek awh. Hottelah hnintangkuem a sak awh teh, tangka moikapap a pâtung awh.
Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, then came the king's scribe and the high-priest's officer and emptied the chest, and took it up, and brought it back to its place. Thus did they day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
12 Hahoi siangpahrang Jehoiada ni BAWIPA e im dawk thaw katawkkungnaw kut dawk a poe awh. BAWIPA e im pathoup nahanelah, talung kadeinaw hoi kutsakkathoumnaw a hlai awh teh, BAWIPA e im pathoup nahanelah, sum hoi rahum kahlunthainaw hai a hlai awh.
And the king and Yehoyada' gave it to those who overlooked the service of the house of the Lord, and these hired masons and carpenters to renew the house of the Lord, and also to the workers in iron and copper to repair the house of the Lord.
13 Hottelah thaw katawkkungnaw ni thapatho lahoi na tawk awh dawkvah, Cathut im teh apasueke boiboe lah a pathoup awh teh a caksak awh.
So the workmen wrought, and the work was restored through their means, and they replaced the house of God in its [former] state, and strengthened it.
14 A cum awh torei teh kacawie tangkanaw pueng teh, siangpahrang hoi Jehoiada koe a thokhai awh. Hote tangka hoi BAWIPA e im dawk thaw tawk nahanelah, hnopai, thueng nahanelah hnopai hoi pacen, sui hoi ngun manang naw lah a sak awh. Hottelah Jehoiada a hringyung thung teh BAWIPA im dawk hmaisawi thuengnae pout laipalah pou a sak awh.
And when they had completed it, they brought before the king and Yehoyada' the rest of the money, and they made of it vessels for the house of the Lord, the vessels of the service and for the sacrificing, and the spoons, and [other] vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt-offerings in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Yehoyada'.
15 Hatei Jehoiada teh a matawng poung toung dawkvah a due. A due navah a kum 130 touh a pha.
And Yehoyada' became old, and was full of days, and died: he was old one hundred and thirty years when he died.
16 Isarelnaw thung dawk Cathut hoi a im dawk hawinae a sak kecu dawk Devit khopui dawk siangpahrangnaw koe a pakawp awh.
And they buried him in the city of David among the kings; because he had done a good thing in Israel, and toward God, and his house.
17 Jehoiada a due hnukkhu, Judah kahrawikungnaw a tho awh teh, siangpahrang koe a tabo awh. Hahoi siangpahrang ni ahnimae lawk a tarawi pouh.
But after the death of Yehoyada' came the princes of Judah, and bowed themselves down to the king. Then did the king hearken unto them.
18 Hottelah mintoenaw e Cathut im a hnamthun takhai awh teh, thingmeikaphawk hoi meikaphawk a bawk awh. Hahoi a yon awh dawkvah, Judahnaw hoi Jerusalem lathueng lungkhueknae a pha.
And they forsook the house of the Lord the God of their fathers, and served the Asherim and the idols: and there came wrath over Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness.
19 Hatei, BAWIPA koe bout bankhai hanelah, profetnaw a patoun teh a yonae a panue sak ei, ngai awh hoeh.
And he sent prophets among them, to bring them back again unto the Lord; and they gave them warning; but they did not give ear.
20 Hahoi vaihma Jehoiada e capa Zekhariah koe Cathut e Muitha teh a pha. Ahni ni rangpuinaw koe a kangdue teh ahnimouh koe, Cathut ni hettelah a dei, bangkongmaw hawinae na hmu awh hoeh hanelah BAWIPA e kâpoelawknaw na tapoe awh. BAWIPA na pahnawt awh dawkvah, ahni ni hai nangmouh na pahnawt awh telah atipouh.
And the spirit of God endued Zechariah the son of Yehoyada' the priest, and he stood up above the people, and he said unto them, Thus hath said the [true] God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the Lord? ye cannot prosper so; because [as] ye have forsaken the Lord, he hath also forsaken you.
21 Hatdawkvah, ahni a taran awh teh, siangpahrang ni kâpoe e patetlah BAWIPA im kalupnae thung talung hoi koung kadout lah a dei awh.
And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the command of the king in the court of the house of the Lord.
22 Hottelah, siangpahrang Joash ni a na pa Jehoiada e lungpatawnae pouk laipalah, a capa a thei pouh. A due han toteh, BAWIPA ni a pouk vaiteh moi a pathung han doeh telah a ti.
And king Joash did not remember the kindness which Yehoyada' his father had shown to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The Lord will see [this], and require [my blood].
23 Hote kum abaw navah, Siria ransanaw ni a tuk awh. Judah ram hoi Jerusalem a kâen awh teh, kahrawikungnaw pueng koung a thei awh teh, Damaskas siangpahrang koevah, lawphno pueng koung a patawn awh.
And it came to pass at the expiration of the year, that the army of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and all their spoil they sent off unto the king of Damascus.
24 Judahnaw ni mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut a pahnawt kecu dawk tami moiapap eiteh, kayounca e Siria ransanaw e kut dawk BAWIPA ni a poe teh, Sirianaw ni Joash koe runae a pha sak.
Indeed with a small company of men did the army of Syria come; but the Lord delivered into their hand an army exceedingly numerous; because they had forsaken the Lord the God of their fathers. And on Joash they executed punishment.
25 Hahoi puenghoi a pataw lahunnah a ban takhai hnukkhu, amamouh letlang ni vaihma Jehoiada e thipaling kecu dawk a sannaw ni a kâcoun awh teh, ikhun dawk a i lahun nah a thei awh. Hatdawkvah, ahni teh a due. Devit khopui dawk a pakawp awh. Hatei, siangpahrangnaw e phuen koe pakawm awh hoeh.
And when these were gone away from him—for they left him [suffering] with great diseases—his own servants conspired against him because of the blood of the sons of Yehoyada' the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings.
26 Ahni ka thet e tami teh Ammon napui Shimeath capa Zabad hoi Moab napui Shimrith capa Jehozabad doeh.
And these are those that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shim'ath the 'Ammonitess, and Yehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
27 Hottelah a capanaw e kong hoi amae kong dei e naw hoi Cathut im kahawicalah bout pathoupnae kong naw teh, khenhaw! siangpahrangnaw e kong caisaknae cauk dawk thut lah ao nahoehmaw. Hahoi, a yueng lah a capa Amaziah ni a bawi.
Now concerning his sons, and the great prophecy concerning him, and the founding of the house of God, behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amazyahu his son became king in his stead.
