2 Chronicles 24
1 Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba.
Yooʼaash yeroo mootii taʼetti nama umuriin isaa waggaa torbaa ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa afurtama ni bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Ziibiyaa ture; isheenis nama Bersheebaa turte.
2 And Joash did what was right in the eyes of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
Yooʼaash bara Yehooyaadaa lubichaa hunda keessa waan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti qajeelaa taʼe hojjete.
3 Jehoiada took for himself two wives, and he had sons and daughters.
Yehooyaadaan niitota lama isaaf file; innis ilmaanii fi intallan ni dhalche.
4 Some time later, Joash set his heart on repairing the house of the LORD.
Yeroo xinnoo booddees Yooʼaash mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo haaromsuuf murteesse.
5 So he gathered the priests and Levites and said, “Go out to the cities of Judah and collect the money due annually from all Israel, to repair the house of your God. Do it quickly.” The Levites, however, did not make haste.
Innis lubootaa fi Lewwota walitti waamee, “Gara magaalaawwan Yihuudaa dhaqaatii maallaqa waggaa waggaadhaan mana qulqullummaa Waaqa keessanii haaromsuuf oolu Israaʼeloota hunda irraa walitti qabaa. Kanas ammuma godhaa” isaaniin jedhe. Lewwonni garuu dafanii hin goone.
6 So the king called Jehoiada the high priest and said, “Why have you not required the Levites to bring from Judah and Jerusalem the tax imposed by Moses the servant of the LORD and by the assembly of Israel for the Tent of the Testimony?”
Kanaafuu mootichi Yehooyaadaa lubicha hangafticha waamee, “Ati maaliif akka Lewwonni gibira Museen garbichi Waaqayyoo fi yaaʼiin Israaʼel akka dunkaana dhuga baʼumsaatiif baafamu murteessan sana Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem irraa walitti qaban hin godhin?” jedheen.
7 For the sons of that wicked woman Athaliah had broken into the house of God and had even used the sacred objects of the house of the LORD for the Baals.
Yeroo sana ilmaan Ataaliyaa dubartittii hamtuu sanaa mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa cabsanii seenanii miʼoota qulqulleeffaman illee Baʼaalin tajaajiluuf itti ni fayyadaman.
8 At the king’s command a chest was made and placed outside, at the gate of the house of the LORD.
Kanaafuu mootichi akka isaan sanduuqa maallaqni itti walitti qabamu hojjetanii karaa alaatiin balbala mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo bira kaaʼan ni ajaje.
9 And a proclamation was issued in Judah and Jerusalem that they were to bring to the LORD the tax imposed by Moses the servant of God on Israel in the wilderness.
Akka isaan qaraxa Museen garbichi Waaqaa sun yeroo gammoojjii keessa turanitti Israaʼeloota ajaje sana Waaqayyoof fidaniif Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem keessatti labsiin tokko ni baʼe.
10 All the officers and all the people rejoiced and brought their contributions, and they dropped them in the chest until it was full.
Qondaaltonni hundii fi sabni hundi buusii isaanii gammachuudhaan fidanii hamma inni guututti sanduuqicha keessa ni buusan.
11 Whenever the chest was brought by the Levites to the king’s overseers and they saw that there was a large amount of money, the royal scribe and the officer of the high priest would come and empty the chest and carry it back to its place. They did this daily and gathered the money in abundance.
Yommuu sanduuqichi Lewwotaan gara qondaaltota mootiitti fidamee qondaaltonni sun akka maallaqni baayʼeen isa keessa jiru arganitti barreessaan mootichaa fi ajajaan lubicha hangafaa dhufanii maallaqa sana sanduuqa keessaa garagalchanii sanduuqicha iddoo isaatti deebisu ture. Isaanis guyyuma guyyaan akkas godhanii maallaqa akka malee baayʼee walitti ni qaban.
12 Then the king and Jehoiada would give the money to those who supervised the labor on the house of the LORD to hire stonecutters and carpenters to restore the house of the LORD, as well as workers in iron and bronze to repair the house of the LORD.
Mootichii fi Yehooyaadaanis maallaqa sana warra mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo hojjechiisuuf itti gaafatamummaa fudhatanitti ni kennan. Isaanis mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo haaromsuudhaaf namoota dhagaa cabsanii fi ogeeyyii hojii mukaa, akkasumas mana qulqullummaa haaromsuudhaaf hojjettoota sibiilaa fi naasii ittiin ni qaxaran.
13 So the workmen labored, and in their hands the repair work progressed. They restored the house of God according to its specifications, and they reinforced it.
Hojjettoonni qaxaraman waan jabaatanii hojjetaniif hojiin sun isaaniif ni milkaaʼe. Mana qulqullummaa Waaqaas akkuma duraan turetti deebisanii ni haaromsan; ni jabeessanis.
14 When they were finished, they brought the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada to make with it the articles for the house of the LORD—utensils for the service and for the burnt offerings, dishes, and other objects of gold and silver. Throughout the days of Jehoiada, burnt offerings were presented regularly in the house of the LORD.
Erga fixanii booddees maallaqa hafe fidanii mootichaa fi Yehooyaadaatti ni kennan; maallaqa sanaanis miʼoota mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo jechuunis miʼoota tajaajilaa fi kan aarsaan gubamu ittiin dhiʼeeffamu akkasumas caabiiwwan, miʼoota warqee fi meetii ittiin ni hojjetan. Isaanis bara Yehooyaadaa keessa utuu gargar hin kutin mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti aarsaa gubamu dhiʼeessaa turan.
15 When Jehoiada was old and full of years, he died at the age of 130.
Yehooyaadaanis bara dheeraa jiraatee dulloomee waggaa dhibba tokkoo fi soddomatti ni duʼe.
16 And Jehoiada was buried with the kings in the City of David, because he had done what was good in Israel for God and His temple.
Innis sababii Israaʼel keessatti Waaqaa fi mana qulqullummaa isaatiif waan gaarii hojjeteef Magaalaa Daawit keessatti mootota biratti ni awwaalame.
17 After the death of Jehoiada, however, the officials of Judah came and paid homage to the king, and he listened to them.
Erga Yehooyaadaan duʼee booddee qondaaltonni Yihuudaa dhufanii amanamummaa mootichaaf qaban ni ibsan; innis isaan dhaggeeffate.
18 They abandoned the house of the LORD, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherah poles and idols. So wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this guilt of theirs.
Isaanis mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo Waaqa abbootii isaanii dhiisanii siidaawwan Aasheeraa fi waaqota tolfamoo ni waaqeffatan. Sababii balleessaa isaaniifis dheekkamsi Waaqaa Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalemitti ni dhufe.
19 Nevertheless, the LORD sent prophets to bring the people back to Him and to testify against them; but they would not listen.
Akka isaan gara isaatti saba deebisaniif Waaqayyo raajota isaanitti erge; raajonnis isaanitti rageessan; isaan garuu dhagaʼuu hin barbaanne.
20 Then the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest, who stood up before the people and said to them, “This is what God says: ‘Why do you transgress the commandments of the LORD so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, He has forsaken you.’”
Ergasiis Hafuurri Waaqaa Zakkaariyaas ilma Yehooyaadaa lubichaa irra ni buʼe. Innis kaʼee fuula uummataa dura dhaabatee, “Waaqni akkana jedha: ‘Isin maaliif ajaja Waaqayyoo eeguu diddani? Isin hin milkooftan. Sababii isin Waaqayyoon dhiiftaniif innis isin dhiiseera’” jedheen.
21 But they conspired against Zechariah, and by order of the king, they stoned him in the courtyard of the house of the LORD.
Isaan garuu isatti mariʼatanii ajaja mootichaatiin oobdii mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti dhagaadhaan tumanii isa ni ajjeesan.
22 Thus King Joash failed to remember the kindness that Zechariah’s father Jehoiada had extended to him. Instead, Joash killed Jehoiada’s son. As he lay dying, Zechariah said, “May the LORD see this and call you to account.”
Yooʼaash mootichi arjummaa Yehooyaadaan abbaan Zakkaariyaas isaaf godhe sana hin yaadanne; qooda kanaa inni ilma isaa ni ajjeese; innis yeroo duʼutti, “Waaqayyo waan kana haa argu; haaloos haa baʼu” jedhe.
23 In the spring, the army of Aram went to war against Joash. They entered Judah and Jerusalem and destroyed all the leaders of the people, and they sent all the plunder to their king in Damascus.
Dhuma waggaa sanaattis loltoonni Sooriyaa Yooʼaashitti ni duulan; Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem qabatanii hooggantoota sabaa hunda ni fixan. Isaanis waan boojiʼan hunda gara Damaasqootti mootii isaaniitti ni ergan.
24 Although the Aramean army had come with only a few men, the LORD delivered into their hand a very great army. Because Judah had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers, judgment was executed on Joash.
Loltoonni Sooriyaa namoota xinnoo qabatanii dhufan illee Waaqayyo loltoota akka malee baayʼee harka isaaniitti dabarsee ni kenne. Sababii Yihuudoonni Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaanii dhiisaniif Yooʼaashitti murtiin murame.
25 And when the Arameans had withdrawn, they left Joash severely wounded. His own servants conspired against him for shedding the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and they killed him on his bed. So he died and was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
Warri Sooriyaa yommuu baʼanitti Yooʼaashin akka malee madeessanii ni deeman. Qondaaltonni isaas sababii inni ilma Yehooyaadaa lubichaa ajjeeseef isatti mariʼatanii siree isaa irratti isa ajjeesan. Kanaafuu inni duʼee Magaalaa Daawit keessatti ni awwaalame; garuu iddoo awwaala moototaatti hin awwaalamne.
26 Those who conspired against Joash were Zabad son of Shimeath the Ammonitess and Jehozabad son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
Warri isatti mariʼatanis Zaabaad ilma Shimeʼaati dubartii Amoon sanaa fi Yehoozaabaad ilma Shimriiti dubartii Moʼaab sanaa turan.
27 The accounts of the sons of Joash, as well as the many pronouncements about him and about the restoration of the house of God, are indeed written in the Treatise of the Book of the Kings. And his son Amaziah reigned in his place.
Seenaan ilmaan isaa, raajiiwwan waaʼee isaa dubbataman hedduunii fi seenaan haaromfamuu mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa kitaaba seenaa moototaa keessatti barreeffameera. Amasiyaa ilmi isaa iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
