2 Kings 12
1 In the seventh year of Jehu's rule, Jehoash became king; and he was ruling for forty years in Jerusalem; his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.
Jehu kah a kum rhih dongah Jehoash te manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum sawmli manghai. A manu ming tah Beersheba lamkah Zihiah ni.
2 Jehoash did what was right in the eyes of the Lord all his days, because he was guided by the teaching of Jehoiada the priest.
Jehoash loh amah tue khuiah tah khosoih Jehoiada kah a thuinuet bangla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem ni a saii.
3 But the high places were not taken away; the people went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.
Te cakhaw hmuensang te khoe pawh. Hmuensang ah pilnam a nawn tih a phum pueng.
4 And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the holy things, which comes into the house of the Lord, (the amount fixed for every man's payment, ) and all the money given by any man freely from the impulse of his heart,
Jehoash loh khosoih rhoek taengah, “BOEIPA im la a khuen hmuencim tangka boeih khaw, hlang aka pongpa rhoek kah tangka khaw, amah phu dongkah hinglu tangka khaw, hlang lungbuei lamloh BOEIPA im la khuen ham aka cet tangka boeih khaw,
5 Let the priests take, every man from his friends and neighbours, to make good what is damaged in the house, wherever it is to be seen.
khosoih rhoek long khaw amah kah a hmat hlang taeng lamkah te amamih loh doe uh saeh lamtah im a puut cungkuem a hmuh vanbanglaBOEIPAim kah a puut te amih loh biing uh saeh,” a ti nah.
6 But in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash, the priests had not made good the damaged parts of the house.
Tedae manghai Jehoash a kum kul kum thum a lo duela khosoih rhoek loh im puut te biing uh pawh.
7 Then King Jehoash sent for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said to them, Why have you not made good what is damaged in the house? now take no more money from your neighbours, but give it for the building up of the house.
Te dongah manghai Jehoash loh khosoih Jehoiada neh khosoih rhoek te a khue. Te phoeiah amih te, “Balae tih im puut te na biing uh pawh? Te dongah na hmat taeng lamkah tangka te lo uh lamtah im puut dongkah ham tloeng uh laeh boeh,” a ti nah.
8 So the priests made an agreement to take no more money from the people, and not to make good what was damaged in the house.
Khosoih rhoek loh a rhoih uh dongah pilnam taeng lamkah tangka te coi uh voel pawt tih im puut te khaw biing uh pawh.
9 But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and making a hole in the cover of it, put it by the altar, on the right side when one comes into the house of the Lord; and the priests who kept the door put in it regularly all the money which was taken into the house of the Lord.
Khosoih Jehoiada loh thingkawng pakhat te a loh tih a tlaeng dongah a khui a buet. Te te BOEIPA im la aka kun hlang kah bantang, bantang kah hmueihtuk taengah a khueh. Te vaengah BOEIPA im la aka pawk tangka boeih te cingkhaa aka tawt khosoih rhoek loh a khuila a sang uh.
10 And when they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king's scribe and the high priest came and put it in bags, noting the amount of all the money there was in the house of the Lord.
Thingkawng dongkah tangka hlom te a hmuh van neh manghai kah cadaek neh khosoih ham te cet rhoi. Te phoeiah BOEIPA im kah a hmuh tangka te a cun tih a tae.
11 And the money which was measured out they gave regularly to those who were responsible for overseeing the work, and these gave it in payment to the woodworkers and the builders who were working on the house of the Lord,
Tangka te aka soepsoei rhoek loh BOEIPA im bi saii aka saii aka dawn, aka dawn rhoek kah a kut, a kut dongah a tloeng pauh. Te phoeiah thing kutthai taeng neh BOEIPA im kah bi aka saii, im aka sa rhoek taengah a paek.
12 And to the wall-builders and the stone-cutters, and to get wood and cut stone for building up the broken parts of the house of the Lord, and for everything needed to put the house in good order.
Im aka biing rhoek taeng neh lungto aka phaek taengah khaw, thing aka lai taeng neh BOEIPA im puut biing nah ham lungto lungrhaih ham khaw, te boeih te im biing vaengkah ham a paek.
13 But the money was not used for making silver cups or scissors or basins or wind-instruments or any vessels of gold or silver for the house of the Lord;
Tedae BOEIPA im kah a khuen tangka lamloh BOEIPA im kah cakben baeldung, paitaeh, baelcak, olueng, sui hnopai neh cakben hnopai boeih khaw saii pawh.
14 But it was all given to the workmen who were building up the house.
Te te bitat aka saii rhoek taengah a paek uh tih te nen te BOEIPA im a moem uh.
15 And they did not get any statement of accounts from the men to whom the money was given for the workmen, for they made use of it with good faith.
Amih khaw uepomnah neh a saii uh dongah bitat aka saii rhoek taengah paek ham amih kut ah tangka a paek uh hlang rhoek te a tae uh voel moenih.
16 The money of the offerings for error and the sin-offerings was not taken into the house of the Lord; it was the priests'.
Khosoih la a om uh dongah hmaithennah tangka neh boirhaem tangka tah BOEIPA im la khuen pawh.
17 Then Hazael, king of Aram, went up against Gath and took it; and his purpose was to go up to Jerusalem.
Te vaengah Aram manghai Hazael te cet tih Gath a vathoh thil. Te te a loh van neh Jerusalem te paan hamla Hazael loh a maelhmai a hooi.
18 Then Jehoash, king of Judah, took all the holy things which Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah his fathers, the kings of Judah, had given to the Lord, together with the things he himself had given, and all the gold in the Temple store and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael, king of Aram; and he went away from Jerusalem.
Judah manghai Jehoash loh a napa Judah manghai rhoek, Jehoshaphat, Jehoram neh Ahaziah loh a hoep hnocim cungkuem neh amah hnocim khaw, BOEIPA im neh manghai im thakvoh khuikah a hmuh sui boeih te khaw a loh tih Aram manghai Hazael taengla a pat daengah Jerusalem lamloh khoe uh.
19 Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
Joash kah ol noi neh a saii boeih te Judah manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?
20 And his servants made a secret design and put Joash to death at the house of Millo on the way down to Silla.
A sal rhoek te thoo uh tih lairhui neh a hlaengtang uh coeng dongah Silla la aka suntla Joash te Bethmillo ah a ngawn uh.
21 And Jozacar, the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer, his servants, came to him and put him to death; and they put him into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; and Amaziah his son became king in his place.
A sal Shimeath capa Jozakhar neh Shomer capa Jehozabad loh anih te a ngawn tih duek. Te dongah anih te David khopuei kah a napa rhoek taengah a up uh. Te phoeiah a capa Amaziah te anih yueng la manghai.
