2 Kings 12
1 In the seventh year of Jehu, Joash became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba.
Jehu a bawinae kum 7 navah, Jehoash teh siangpahrang lah ao. Jerusalem vah kum 40 touh a uk, a manu min teh Zibiah Beersheba kho e tami doeh.
2 And Joash did what was right in the eyes of the LORD all the days he was instructed by Jehoiada the priest.
Vaihma, Jehoiada ni Jehoash a pâtu nathung pueng teh BAWIPA mithmu vah, hawinae hah ouk a sak.
3 Nevertheless, the high places were not removed; the people continued sacrificing and burning incense there.
Hatei hmuenrasang lah puen kalawn hoeh. Hmuenrasang dawk tami moikapap ni Cathut thuengnae hmuitui a sawi awh.
4 Then Joash said to the priests, “Collect all the money brought as sacred gifts into the house of the LORD—the census money, the money from vows, and the money brought voluntarily into the house of the LORD.
Jehoash ni vaihmanaw koe BAWIPA im vah kâenkhai e hno kathoung ratangnae, hnopainaw pueng, milu touk tangcoungnaw koe kacetnaw pueng hanelah, khoe lah kaawm e kâratangnae hnonaw hoi bangpatet e tami ni BAWIPA im vah a ceikhai teh a pasoung awh e naw hah,
5 Let every priest receive it from his constituency, and let it be used to repair any damage found in the temple.”
vaihmanaw ni, amamae a uk awh e thungup lat van naseh. Bawkim a rawknae hmuen tangkuem koe rem awh naseh atipouh.
6 By the twenty-third year of the reign of Joash, however, the priests had not yet repaired the damage to the temple.
Hatei siangpahrang Jehoash teh kum 23 touh a bawi nakunghai vaihmanaw ni bawkim ka rawk e naw heh pathoup kalawn awh hoeh.
7 So King Joash called Jehoiada and the other priests and said, “Why have you not repaired the damage to the temple? Now, therefore, take no more money from your constituency, but hand it over for the repair of the temple.”
Hottelah siangpahrang Jehoash ni vaihma Jehoiada hoi vaihma alouknaw hah a kaw teh, ahnimouh koe, bangkongmaw bawkim ka rawk e hmuennaw hah na pathoup awh hoeh. Atu hoi teh, na uknae thung e tami koe e tangka lat awh hanh lawih. Bawkim ka rawk e pathoup nahanlah poe awh lawih telah a ti.
8 So the priests agreed that they would not receive money from the people and that they would not repair the temple themselves.
Vaihmanaw ni hai ayânaw koe tangka toung laipalah, bawkim ka rawk e hai pathoup hoeh hanelah a hnâbo awh.
9 Then Jehoiada the priest took a chest, bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar on the right side as one enters the house of the LORD. There the priests who guarded the threshold put all the money brought into the house of the LORD.
Hot patetlah, vaihma Jehoiada ni thingkongca a la teh, a khuem hah a paawng. BAWIPA im kâennaw aranglah thuengnae khoungroe teng vah a tâ teh a sin awh e tangkanaw pueng hah, takhang ka ring e vaihma ni paloupalou a ta pouh.
10 Whenever they saw that there was a large amount of money in the chest, the royal scribe and the high priest would go up, count the money brought into the house of the LORD, and tie it up in bags.
Hahoi teh hettelah doeh. Thingkong dawk tangka apap toe tie a panue awh toteh, siangpahrang e cakathutkung hoi vaihma kacue ni, a ceikhai teh BAWIPA im vah tangka kaawm e pueng a touk awh.
11 Then they would put the counted money into the hands of those who supervised the work on the house of the LORD, who in turn would pay those doing the work—the carpenters, builders,
A touk awh e tangka teh thaw katawknaw, BAWIPA im kasakkungnaw, imsakkathoumnaw e kut phu, talung kadeinaw hoiyah talung katâcawtsaknaw e kut phu hoi,
12 masons, and stonecutters. They also purchased timber and dressed stone to repair the damage to the house of the LORD, and they paid the other expenses of the temple repairs.
Bawipa e Bawkim ka rawk e naw pathoup nahanlah thing hoi talung kuennae hoi im a rawknae koe, a pankinae hmuen pueng koe a hno awh.
13 However, the money brought into the house of the LORD was not used for making silver basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, trumpets, or any articles of gold or silver for the house of the LORD.
Hatei BAWIPA imthungkhu tangka a sin awh hoi BAWIPA im hanlah, ngun, rahum, hoi hmai paduenae hoi Ailo ka dung hoi mongka hoi suihlaamnaw, ngunhlaamnaw hah hote tangka hoi sak hoeh.
14 Instead, it was paid to those doing the work, and with it they repaired the house of the LORD.
Hatei, thaw katawkkungnaw ouk a poe awh teh BAWIPA e im pathoup nahanlah a hno awh.
15 No accounting was required from the men who received the money to pay the workmen, because they acted with integrity.
Thaw katawkkungnaw, poe hanlah tangka a kuem sak awh e naw hoi kuekluek parei pouh hoeh toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, yuemkamculah a tawk awh.
16 The money from the guilt offerings and sin offerings was not brought into the house of the LORD; it belonged to the priests.
Kâtapoe thuengnae tangka hoi yon thuengnae tangka teh BAWIPA im dawk kâen sak a hoeh. Hot teh vaihmanaw e ham doeh.
17 At that time Hazael king of Aram marched up and fought against Gath and captured it. Then he decided to attack Jerusalem.
Siria siangpahrang Hazael ni, Gath a tuk. Be a la hnukkhu Hazael teh Jerusalem ban hanlah a noe.
18 So King Joash of Judah took all the sacred objects dedicated by his fathers—Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and Ahaziah, the kings of Judah—along with his own consecrated items and all the gold found in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he sent them to Hazael king of Aram. So Hazael withdrew from Jerusalem.
Judah siangpahrang Jehoash ni a na pa hoi Jehoshaphat hoi Jehoram hoi Ahaziah tinaw ni ouk a poe awh e kathounge hnonaw pueng, amamouh ni thoung sak awh e hnonaw hoi BAWIPA im kaawmnaw pueng hoi siangpahrang im vah kaawm, suinaw pueng a la awh teh, Siria siangpahrang Hazael a patawn awh. Hahoi teh Jerusalem a kamlang takhai awh.
19 As for the rest of the acts of Joash, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Hot patetlah, Joash a tawksaknae naw thung dawk e kaawm rae naw, a sakyoe e naw pueng teh Judah siangpahrang setouknae cauk dawkvah koung thut lah ao nahoehmaw.
20 And the servants of Joash rose up and formed a conspiracy and killed him at Beth-millo, on the road down to Silla.
Hahoi a taminaw a thaw awh teh a kâcoun awh. Joash teh Silla lah ceinae lam, Millo im vah, a hem awh teh a thei awh.
21 His servants Jozabad son of Shimeath and Jehozabad son of Shomer struck him down, and he died. And they buried him with his fathers in the City of David, and his son Amaziah reigned in his place.
A san Shimeath capa Jozakhar koevah, Devit khopui dawk a pakawp awh teh a capa Amaziah teh a yueng lah a bawi.
