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.
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mũgwanja wa Jehu, Joashu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki, na agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna. Nyina eetagwo Zibia; na oimĩte Birishiba.
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.
Joashu nĩekire maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova mĩaka ĩrĩa yothe Jehoiada mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai aamũtaarire.
3 But the high places were not taken away; the people went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.
No rĩrĩ, kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gwa kũrutĩra magongona gũtieheririo; andũ mathiire na mbere kũrutĩra magongona na gũcinĩra ũbumba kuo.
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,
Joashu akĩĩra athĩnjĩri-Ngai atĩrĩ, “Cookanĩrĩriai mbeeca iria ciothe irehagwo irĩ cia maruta marĩa maamũre ma hekarũ ya Jehova, na mbeeca iria irutagwo cia gwĩtara, na mbeeca iria ciamũkagĩrwo kuuma mĩĩhĩtwa-inĩ ya andũ o na mbeeca iria irehagwo hekarũ na ũndũ wa kwĩyendera.
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.
Ĩtĩkĩriai mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai o wothe aamũkagĩre mbeeca kuuma kũrĩ ũmwe wa aigi a kĩgĩĩna, na mũreke ihũthĩrwo na gũcookereria hekarũ kũrĩa guothe ĩngĩkorwo ĩrĩ tharũku.”
6 But in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash, the priests had not made good the damaged parts of the house.
Na rĩrĩ, o na gũkinyĩria mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtatũ wa Mũthamaki Joashu, athĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩkorwo matiacookereirie hekarũ.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mũthamaki Joashu agĩĩta Jehoiada ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa angĩ, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ mũtaracookereria hekarũ kũrĩa ĩtharũkĩte? Mũtigeetie mbeeca ingĩ kuuma kũrĩ aigi kĩgĩĩna, no cineanei nĩguo icookererie hekarũ kũrĩa ĩtharũkĩte.”
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.
Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩtĩkĩra atĩ matikũngania mbeeca ingĩ kuuma kũrĩ andũ, na atĩ o ene tio megũcookereria hekarũ.
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.
Nake Jehoiada ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai akĩoya ithandũkũ na agĩtũra ngunĩko yarĩo irima. Akĩrĩiga mwena wa ũrĩo wa mũndũ agĩtoonya hekarũ ya Jehova. Athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa maarangagĩra itoonyero magĩĩkĩra mbeeca ciothe ithandũkũ-inĩ iria ciarehagwo hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova.
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.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe moonaga mbeeca nĩciaingĩha ithandũkũ-inĩ, mwandĩki-marũa wa mũthamaki na mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene mookaga, magatara mbeeca iria ciakoragwo irehetwo hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova na magaciĩkĩra mĩhuko.
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,
Rĩrĩa mũigana wa mbeeca wahinga, makanengera andũ arĩa maathuurĩtwo matuĩke arori a wĩra wa hekarũ. Mbeeca icio ciarĩhaga aruti a wĩra wa hekarũ ya Jehova na andũ a wĩra wa mbaũ, na aaki,
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.
na arĩa maakaga na mahiga, na aicũhia a mahiga. Maagũraga mbaũ na mahiga maicũhie nĩ ũndũ wa gũcookereria hekarũ ya Jehova kũrĩa yatharũkĩte na makarĩha mahũthĩro mothe ma gũcookereria hekarũ.
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;
Mbeeca iria ciarehagwo hekarũ-inĩ itiahũthagĩrwo na gũthondeka iraĩ cia betha, kana magathĩ ma gũthima ndaambĩ, kana mbakũri cia kũminjaminja, kana tũrumbeta, kana kĩndũ o gĩothe gĩa thahabu kana gĩa betha nĩ ũndũ wa hekarũ ya Jehova.
14 But it was all given to the workmen who were building up the house.
Mbeeca icio ciarĩhaga aruti a wĩra arĩa maarutaga wĩra wa gũcookereria hekarũ.
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.
Matioragia mathabu ma mbeeca kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa maanengerete mbeeca marĩhe aruti a wĩra, tondũ andũ acio maarĩ ehokeku biũ.
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'.
Mbeeca cia maruta ma mahĩtia, na maruta ma mehia itiarehagwo hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova, icio ciarĩ cia athĩnjĩri-Ngai.
17 Then Hazael, king of Aram, went up against Gath and took it; and his purpose was to go up to Jerusalem.
Ihinda-inĩ o rĩu Hazaeli mũthamaki wa Suriata akĩambata agĩthiĩ agĩtharĩkĩra Gathu na akĩrĩtaha. Ningĩ akĩhũndũka, agĩthiĩ gũtharĩkĩra Jerusalemu.
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.
No rĩrĩ, Joashu mũthamaki wa Juda akĩoya indo ciothe iria ciatheretio ikaamũrwo nĩ maithe make, nao nĩ Jehoshafatu, na Jehoramu na Ahazia, athamaki a Juda o na iheo iria we mwene aamũrĩte, o na thahabu iria ciakoretwo kĩgĩĩna-inĩ kĩa hekarũ ya Jehova, o na iria ciarĩ nyũmba ya ũthamaki, agĩcineana itwarĩrwo Hazaeli mũthamaki wa Suriata, nake agĩthiĩ, agĩtiga gũtharĩkĩra Jerusalemu.
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?
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Joashu, na ũrĩa wothe eekire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Juda?
20 And his servants made a secret design and put Joash to death at the house of Millo on the way down to Silla.
Nao anene ake makĩmũciirĩrĩra ndundu mamũũkĩrĩre, makĩmũũragĩra Bethi-Milo, njĩra-inĩ ya gũthiĩ Sila.
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.
Nao anene arĩa maamũũragire nĩ Jozakaru mũrũ wa Shimeathu, na Jehozabadu mũrũ wa Shomeru. Joashu agĩkua na agĩthikwo hamwe na maithe make itũũra-inĩ rĩa Daudi. Nake mũriũ Amazia agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
