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.
E higa mar abiriyo mar loch Jehu, Joash nobedo ruoth kendo nobedo e loch Jerusalem kuom higni piero angʼwen. Min mare ne iluongo ni Zibia; mane aa Bersheba.
2 And Joash did what was right in the eyes of the LORD all the days he was instructed by Jehoiada the priest.
Joash notimo gima ber e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye e higni duto mane Jehoyada jadolo ne ngʼadone rieko.
3 Nevertheless, the high places were not removed; the people continued sacrificing and burning incense there.
Kata kamano kuonde motingʼore gi malo mag wangʼo misengini ne ok omuki kendo ji nodhi nyime mana gi chiwo misengini kod wangʼo ubani mangʼwe ngʼar kanyo.
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.
Joash nowachone jodolo niya, “Chokuru pesa duto mokel kaka chiwo mag pwodhruok e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye; pesa moyudi e kwano ji, pesa moyudi e singruok mar ngʼato e ngimane kod pesa ma ngʼato ochiwo kuom hero mare owuon.
5 Let every priest receive it from his constituency, and let it be used to repair any damage found in the temple.”
Weuru jadolo ka jadolo oyud pesa koa kuom achiel kuom jokan pesa; pesano onego olosgo kamoro amora ma okethore ei hekalu.”
6 By the twenty-third year of the reign of Joash, however, the priests had not yet repaired the damage to the temple.
Bangʼ higni piero ariyo gadek ka ruoth Joash osebedo e loch; jodolo ne pok oloso kuonde momukore ei hekalu.
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.”
Kuom mano ruoth Joash noluongo Jehoyada jadolo kod jonabi mamoko, mopenjogi niya, “Angʼo momiyo ok ulos kuonde mane okethore e hekalu? Kik uchak ukaw pesa ir jokenou, to utergi ne joma onego olos kuonde momukore e hekalu.”
8 So the priests agreed that they would not receive money from the people and that they would not repair the temple themselves.
Jodolo noyie ni ok gibi choko pesa kendo kuom ji kendo gin giwegi bende ok gibi loso kuonde mokethore mag hekalu.
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.
Jehoyada jadolo nokawo sanduku moro, motucho raumne kendo nokete e bat korachwich mar kendo mar misango kama ochomore gi dhood hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Pesa duto mane donjo e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, jodolo ma jorit dhoot ne ketogi e sandukuno.
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.
Kinde duto mane gineno ka pesa opongʼo sanduku, jagoro maka ruoth kod jadolo maduongʼ ne biro kwano pesa mane okel e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo ketogi e mifuke.
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,
Ka pesago ne osengʼe kwan-gi, ne gimiyogi nyipeche mane ochungʼ ne tich loso hekalu. Kanyo bende ema ne gigoloe pesa ma ichulo joma tiyo ei hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye ma gin jogo randa, jogedo kod jopa kite.
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.
Negingʼiewo bepe kendo gipayo kite mondo olosgo kuonde mokethore e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, kendo chulo gik moko duto mane dwarore mondo hekalu oduog kare.
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.
Pesa mane okel e hekalu ne ok otigo kuom loso tewni mag fedha gi gik mingʼadogo otambi mar teyni, kod tewni, kod bakunde mag kiro remo, kaachiel gi turumbete kod gik moko duto mag dhahabu gi fedha mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye,
14 Instead, it was paid to those doing the work, and with it they repaired the house of the LORD.
to pesano notigo kuom chulo jotich mane loso kuonde mane omukore e hekalu.
15 No accounting was required from the men who received the money to pay the workmen, because they acted with integrity.
Ne ok gidwar ni mondo olernegi kaka pesa otiyo e lwet joma ne omi mondo ochul jotich, nimar ne gin joma ogen.
16 The money from the guilt offerings and sin offerings was not brought into the house of the LORD; it belonged to the priests.
To pesa mane ogol kuom misango mar pwodhruok e ketho gi mag chiwo migolo kuom richo motim ok ne kel ei hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, mago ne iwene jodolo.
17 At that time Hazael king of Aram marched up and fought against Gath and captured it. Then he decided to attack Jerusalem.
E ndalono ema Hazael ruodh Aram ne odhi momonjo Gath mi omake. Eka ne odhi mondo omonj Jerusalem bende.
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.
To Joash ruodh Juda nokawo gik moko duto mowal mane kwerene kaka Jehoshafat, Jehoram kod Ahazia mane gin ruodhi mag Juda osechiwo ne Jehova Nyasaye. Gigo duto Joash noorone Hazael ruodh Aram, kaachiel gi gik moko duto mane en owuon osechiwo ne Jehova Nyasaye; kaachiel gi dhahabu duto mane ni e kar keno mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kod kar keno mar od ruoth kendo Hazael ne ok omonjo Jerusalem.
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?
To kuom weche moko mondiki e ndalo loch Joash gi gik moko duto mane otimo donge gin e kitabu mondikie weche mag ndalo mag ruodhi Juda?
20 And the servants of Joash rose up and formed a conspiracy and killed him at Beth-millo, on the road down to Silla.
Jodonge nowinjore mondo ondhoge mi onege e Beth Milo, e yo madhi mwalo Sila.
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.
Jodonge mane onege ne gin Jozabad wuod Shimeath kod Jehozabad wuod Shomer. Notho moike kod kwerene e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi kendo Amazia wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
