2 Weche Mag Ndalo 24

1 Joash ne ja-higni abiriyo kane odoko ruoth kendo norito piny kuom higni piero angʼwen kodak Jerusalem. Min mare ne nyinge Zibia mane nyar Bersheba.

Joash was seven years old when he began to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.

2 Joash notimo gima kare e nyim wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye e ndalo duto mane Jehoyada jadolo.

And Joash did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.

3 Jehoyada nogamone mon ariyo manonywologo yawuowi kod nyiri.

And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters.

4 Bangʼ ndalo manok Joash noparo mondo olos hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.

And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to restore the house of the LORD.

5 Nochoko jonabi kod jo-Lawi kanyakla achiel kowachonegi niya, Dhiuru e miech Juda kendo usol pesa ma jo-Israel owinjore ogol higa ka higa mondo walosgo hekalu mar Nyasachu. Neuru ni utimo mano mapiyo. To jo-Lawi ne ok otimo mapiyo.

And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it not.

6 Omiyo ruoth noluongo Jehoyada jadolo maduongʼ mopenje niya, “Angʼo mosemoni oro jo-Lawi mondo osol osuru manoket gi Musa jatich Jehova Nyasaye kod jodong Israel kuom jo-Juda gi jo-Jerusalem mondo olosgo Hemb Romo?”

And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tax of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tent of the testimony?

7 Koro yawuot Athalia dhako marachno noseketho hekalu mar Nyasaye kendo negitiyo ni Baal gi gik mopwodhi mag Nyasaye.

For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD did they bestow upon the Baalim.

8 Bangʼe ruoth nogolo chik mondo olos sanduku, kendo okete e dhoranga hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.

So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD.

9 Noor wach mondo oland ne jo-Juda gi jo-Jerusalem ni mondo gikelne Jehova Nyasaye osuru mane Musa jatich Nyasaye ochiko jo-Israel e thim.

And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for the LORD the tax that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel in the wilderness.

10 Jotelo kod ji duto nokelo pokgi gi mor ka giketogi e sandugno nyaka nopongʼ thich.

And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.

11 E kinde ka kinde kane jo-Lawi okelo sanduku ne jotend ruoth kendo kane gineno ni pesa ne nitiere mangʼeny, to jagoro mar joka ruoth kod jatelo margi kod jatij jadolo maduongʼ ne jobiro mondo okaw sanduku kendo kane giseloko gik manie sanduku negidwoke kare. Kamano e kaka negitimo pile ka pile kendo negichoko pesa mangʼeny mokalo.

And it was so, 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, the king’s scribe and the chief priest’s officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.

12 Ruoth kod Jehoyada nochiwo pesa ne jogo mane timo tich mane dwarore mar loso hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Negindiko jogedo kod jopa bao kaachiel gi joma olony e tich nyinyo kod mula mondo olos hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.

And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the LORD; and they hired masons and carpenters to restore the house of the LORD, and also such as wrought iron and brass to repair the house of the LORD.

13 Jogo mane rito tich ne ngʼiyo tich maber kendo tich nodhi maber e lwetgi. Negiloso hekalu mar Nyasaye kaluwore gi kaka nogere chon kendo negimedo sire mondo omed bedo motegno.

So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set up the house of God in its state, and strengthened it.

14 Kane gisetieko, negikelo pesa mane odongʼ ne ruoth kod Jehoyada mi negiloso gik moko mitiyogo e lemo ei hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kaka: gik mitiyogo e misango miwangʼo pep kaachiel gi dise to gi gik mamoko molos gi dhahabu kod fedha. Negitimo misengini miwangʼo pep mapile pile e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kinde duto ka Jehoyada pod ngima.

And when they had made an end, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of the LORD, even vessels to minister, and to offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.

15 Jehoyada koro noti kendo hike noniangʼ mine otho ka en ja-higni mia achiel gi piero adek.

But Jehoiada waxed old and was full of days, and he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.

16 Ne oike e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi gi ruodhi nikech gigo mabeyo mane osetimo ni Nyasaye kod hekalu e Israel.

And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house.

17 Bangʼ tho Jehoyada, jotend jo-Juda nobiro mondo olim ruoth mi nowinjogi.

Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them.

18 Negijwangʼo hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kweregi kendo negilamo sirni milamo mag Ashera kod nyiseche manono. Mirima nomako Nyasaye gi jo-Juda gi jo-Jerusalem nikech richogi.

And they forsook the house of the LORD, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherim and the idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness.

19 Kata obedo ni Jehova Nyasaye nooronegi jonabi mondo odwokgi ire kendo osiemgi malit, to ne gidagi winjo.

Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.

20 Eka Roho mar Nyasaye nolor kuom Zekaria wuod Jehoyada jadolo. Nochungʼ e nyim ji kowacho niya, “Nyasaye wacho kama: ‘Angʼo momiyo ok urito chike Jehova Nyasaye? Omiyo ok unuyud hawi nikech useweyo Jehova Nyasaye omiyo en bende oseweyou.’”

And the spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you.

21 To ne giriwore ka gikwedo Zekaria mi negichiele kod kite e laru mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kaka ne ruoth omiyogi chik; mi notho.

And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the LORD.

22 Ruoth Joash ne ok oparo ngʼwono mane Jehoyada wuon Zekaria notimone, to nonego wuode mane otho kaywak niya, “Mad Jehova Nyasaye ne gima itimona kendo ochulni kuor.”

Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The LORD look upon it, and require it.

23 Kar chak higa, jolweny mag Aram nobiro monjo Joash, negimonjo Juda kod Jerusalem kendo neginego jotendgi duto kendo mwandu mane giyako ne giorone ruodhgi Damaski.

And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the army of the Syrians came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus.

24 Kata obedo ni jolweny mag Aram ne nok moloyo, Jehova Nyasaye nochiwo jo-Juda e lwetgi mana ka gima ne gin jolweny mangʼeny. Nikech Juda noweyo luwo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kweregi kendo nongʼadne Joash bura.

For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men; and the LORD delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers. So they executed judgment upon Joash.

25 Kane jo-Aram osea ne giweyo ka gihinyo Joash malit. Eka jodonge noriworene nikech nek mane onegogo wuod Jehoyada jadolo mi neginege e kitandane. Omiyo notho kendo ne giike e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi to ok kar yiko ruodhi.

And when they were departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases, ) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada 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 Jogo mane oriworene ne gin Zabad wuod Shimeath nyar Amon kod Jehozabad wuod Shimrith nyar Moab.

And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.

27 Weche mane ondiki kuom yawuote gi weche mane jonabi okoro kuome kaachiel gi kaka noloso hekalu mar Nyasaye ondiki e kitap weche mag ndalo mar ruodhi. Kendo Amazia wuode nobedo ruoth kare.

Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens [laid] upon him, and the rebuilding of the house of God, behold, they are written in the commentary of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
