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.
A shekara ta bakwai ta Yehu, Yowash ya zama sarki, ya kuma yi mulki a Urushalima na tsawon shekaru arba’in. Sunan mahaifiyarsa Zibiya ce; daga Beyersheba.
2 And Joash did what was right in the eyes of the LORD all the days he was instructed by Jehoiada the priest.
Yowash ya aikata abin da yake daidai a idon Ubangiji domin Yehohiyada firist ya koya masa.
3 Nevertheless, the high places were not removed; the people continued sacrificing and burning incense there.
Amma fa ba a kawar da masujadan kan tuddai ba; mutane suka ci gaba da miƙa hadayu da kuma ƙona turare a kan tuddai.
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.
Yowash ya ce wa firistoci, “Ku tattara dukan kuɗin da ake kawo a matsayin hadayu masu tsarki na haikalin Ubangiji, kuɗin da aka tattara a ƙidaya, kuɗin da aka tattara daga wa’adin da mutum ya yi, da kuma kuɗin da aka kawo na yardan rai a haikali.
5 Let every priest receive it from his constituency, and let it be used to repair any damage found in the temple.”
Bari kowane firist yă karɓi kuɗi daga masu ajiya, sa’an nan a yi amfani da su a gyara duk wani abin da ya lalace a haikali.”
6 By the twenty-third year of the reign of Joash, however, the priests had not yet repaired the damage to the temple.
Amma har zuwa shekara ta ashirin da uku ta mulkin Yowash, firistocin ba su yi gyara haikalin ba.
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.”
Saboda haka Sarki Yowash ya kira Yehohiyada firist da sauran firistoci ya tambaye su ya ce, “Me ya sa ba kwa gyaran abubuwan da suka lalace a haikali? Kada ku sāke karɓan kuɗi daga masu ajiya, amma a miƙa su domin gyaran haikali.”
8 So the priests agreed that they would not receive money from the people and that they would not repair the temple themselves.
Firistoci suka yarda cewa ba za su sāke karɓan kuɗi daga mutane ba, kuma ba za su yi gyaran haikalin da kansu ba.
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.
Yehohiyada firist ya ɗauki akwatin ya huda rami a murfinsa. Ya ajiye shi kusa da bagade a hannun dama na haikalin Ubangiji. Firistocin da suke tsaron ƙofar suka zuba dukan kuɗin da aka kawo a haikalin Ubangiji a cikin akwatin.
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.
Duk sa’ad da suka ga kuɗin sun ƙaru a akwatin, sai marubucin fada da babban firist, su ƙirga kuɗin da aka kawo a haikalin Ubangiji su sa a jakankuna.
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,
Sa’ad da suka ga kuɗin ya yi yawa, sai su ba wa waɗanda aka zaɓa su lura da aikin haikalin. Da shi suka biya waɗanda suka yi aiki a haikalin Ubangiji, su kafintoci, da magina,
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.
masu gini, da masu fasa duwatsu. Suka sayi katakai da sassaƙaƙƙun duwatsu domin gyaran haikalin Ubangiji, suka kuma biya duk waɗansu kuɗin gyaran haikalin.
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.
Ba a yi amfani da kuɗin da aka kawo a haikali don yin manyan kwanonin azurfa, lagwani, abin yayyafa ruwa, kakaki ko wani abu na zinariya, ko na azurfa domin haikalin Ubangiji ba;
14 Instead, it was paid to those doing the work, and with it they repaired the house of the LORD.
an ba ma’aikatan da suka gyara haikalin ne.
15 No accounting was required from the men who received the money to pay the workmen, because they acted with integrity.
Ba su bukaci wani bayani daga waɗanda aka ba wa kuɗin don su biya ma’aikatan ba, domin sun yi aikinsu da aminci.
16 The money from the guilt offerings and sin offerings was not brought into the house of the LORD; it belonged to the priests.
Ba a kawo kuɗi daga hadayun laifi da na hadayun zunubi a haikalin Ubangiji ba, waɗannan na firistoci ne.
17 At that time Hazael king of Aram marched up and fought against Gath and captured it. Then he decided to attack Jerusalem.
A wannan lokaci, Hazayel sarkin Aram ya haura, ya kai wa Gat hari, ya kuma ci ta da yaƙi. Sa’an nan ya juya don yă yaƙi Urushalima.
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.
Amma Yowash sarkin Yahuda ya kwashe tsarkakan kayan da kakanninsa, Yehoshafat, Yehoram da Ahaziya, sarakunan Yahuda suka keɓe, da kyautai da shi kansa ya keɓe, da kuma dukan azurfan da aka samu a ɗakunan ajiya haikalin Ubangiji da na fada, ya aika da su wa Hazayel sarkin Aram, shi kuma ya janye daga Urushalima.
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?
Game da sauran ayyukan mulkin Yowash da duk abin da ya yi, duk a rubuce suke a cikin littafin tarihin sarakunan Yahuda.
20 And the servants of Joash rose up and formed a conspiracy and killed him at Beth-millo, on the road down to Silla.
Hafsoshinsa suka yi masa maƙarƙashiya suka kashe shi a Bet Millo, a kan hanyar da ta gangara zuwa Silla.
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.
Hafsoshin da suka kashe shi kuwa su ne Yozabad ɗan Shimeyat da Yehozabad ɗan Shomer. Ya mutu, aka kuma binne shi tare da kakanninsa a Birnin Dawuda. Sai Amaziya ɗansa ya gāje shi a matsayin sarki.
