< Kings IV 12 >

1 Joas began to reign in the seventh year of Ju, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Sabia of Bersabee.
Mugore rechinomwe raJehu, Joashi akava mambo, uye akatonga muJerusarema kwamakore makumi mana. Zita ramai vake rainzi Zibhia; vaibva kuBheerishebha.
2 And Joas did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all the days that Jodae the priest instructed him.
Joashi akaita zvakanaka pamberi paJehovha pamakore ose aakadzidziswa naJehoyadha muprista.
3 Only there were not [any] of the high places removed, and the people still sacrificed there, and burned incense on the high places.
Kunyange zvakadaro, matunhu akakwirira haana kubviswa; vanhu vakaramba vachibayira zvibayiro uye vachipisira zvinonhuhwira ikoko.
4 And Joas said to the priests, [As for] all the money of the holy things that is brought into the house of the Lord, the money of valuation, [as] each man brings the money of valuation, all the money which any man may feel disposed to bring into the house of the Lord,
Joashi akati kuvaprista, “Unganidzai mari yose inouyiswa sezvipiriso zvakatsaurwa kutemberi yaJehovha, mari inounganidzwa, pakuverengwa kwavanhu, mari inogamuchirwa iri yemhiko, nemari inouyiswa kutemberi vanhu vachida havo.
5 let the priests take it to themselves, every man from [the proceeds of] his sale: and they shall repair the breaches of the house in all [places] wheresoever a breach shall be found.
Vaprista vose ngavagamuchire mari kubva kuno mumwe wavachengeti vehomwe yemari, uye ngaishandiswe kugadzira pose pavanowana pakaputsika mutemberi.”
6 And it came to pass in the twenty-third year of king Joas the priests [had] not repaired the breaches of the house.
Asi mugore ramakumi maviri namatatu raMambo Joashi vaprista vakanga vachigere kugadzira temberi.
7 And king Joas called Jodae the priest, and the [other] priests, and said to them, Why have ye not repaired the breaches of the house? now then receive no [more] money from your sales, for ye shall give it to [repair the] breaches of the house.
Naizvozvo Mambo Joashi akadana muprista Jehoyadha navamwe vaprista akavabvunza akati, “Seiko musingagadziri pakaputsika mutemberi? Chiregai kutora imwe mari zvakare kubva kuvabati vehomwe, asi muibudise kuti iite basa rokugadzira temberi.”
8 And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, and not to repair the breaches of the house.
Vaprista vakabvuma kuti havaizounganidzazve mari kubva kuvanhu uye kuti havaizogadzira temberi ivo pachavo.
9 And Jodae the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it by the altar in the house of a man [belonging to] the house of the Lord, and the priests that kept the door put [therein] all the money that was found in the house of the Lord.
Muprista Jehoyadha akatora bhokisi akaboora buri pachidzivo charo. Akarigadzika parutivi pearitari, kurudyi kana munhu achipinda mutemberi yaJehovha. Vaprista vairinda mukova vakaisa mubhokisi mari yose yakauyiswa kutemberi yaJehovha.
10 And it came to pass, when they saw that [there was] much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest went up, and they tied up and counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord.
Pose pavaiona kuti mari yakanga yawanda mubhokisi, munyori wamambo nomuprista mukuru, vaiverenga mari yainge yauyiswa mutemberi yaJehovha voiisa muzvihomwe.
11 And they gave the money that had been collected into the hands of them that wrought the works, the overseers of the house of the Lord; and they gave it out to the carpenters and to the builders that wrought in the house of the Lord.
Vaiti kana vaona kuti yava marii, vaizoipa kuvarume vakanga vagadzwa kuti vave vatariri vebasa retemberi. Mari iyi yaizoripira vakanga vachishanda patemberi yaJehovha, vavezi navavaki,
12 And to the masons, and to the hewers of stone, to purchase timber and hewn stone to repair the breaches of the house of the Lord, for all that was spent on the house of the Lord to repair [it].
navaironga uye navavezi vamatombo. Vakatenga matanda namatombo akavezwa okugadzirisa temberi yaJehovha, uye vakaripira zvose zvaidiwa pakugadziridza temberi.
13 Only there were not to be made for the house of the Lord silver plates, studs, bowls, or trumpets, any vessel of gold or vessel of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the Lord:
Mari yaiuyiswa mutemberi haina kushandiswa pakugadzira madhishi esirivha, mbato dzemwenje, nemikombe, nehwamanda kana zvimwe zvipi zvazvo zvegoridhe kana sirivha zvetemberi yaJehovha.
14 for they were to give it to the workmen, and they repaired therewith the house of the Lord.
Yakaripirwa kuvarume vaishanda, ivo vakaishandisa kugadzira temberi.
15 Also they took no account of the men into whose hands they gave the money to give to the workmen, for they acted faithfully.
Havana kubvunza mashandisirwo ayo kuna avo vavakapa mari kuti varipire vashandi, nokuti vakashanda vakatendeka zvakakwana.
16 Money for a sin-offering, and money for a trespass-offering, whatever happened to be brought into the house of the Lord, went to the priests.
Mari yaibva kuzvipiriso zvemhosva nezvipiriso zvechivi haina kuuyiswa mutemberi yaJehovha; yakanga iri yavaprista.
17 Then went up Azael king of Syria, and fought against Geth, and took it: and Azael set his face to go against Jerusalem.
Panguva yakaita saiyoyi Hazaeri mambo weAramu akaenda akandorwisa Gati akaripamba. Ipapo akadzokera kundorwisa Jerusarema.
18 And Joas king of Juda took all the holy things which Josaphat, and Joram, Ochozias, his fathers, and kings of Juda [had] consecrated, and what he had himself dedicated, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the Lord's house and the king's house, and he sent [them] to Azael king of Syria; and he went up from Jerusalem.
Asi Joashi mambo weJudha akatora zvinhu zvose zvitsvene zvakatsaurwa zvakanga zvakumikidzwa namadzibaba ake, Jehoshafati, naJehoramu naAhazia madzimambo eJudha, zvipo zvaakanga akumikidza iye negoridhe rose rakawanikwa mumatura etemberi yaJehovha nomumuzinda wamambo, akazvitumira kuna Hazaeri mambo weAramu, iye akabva muJerusarema.
19 And the rest of the acts of Joas, and all that he did, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
Zvimwe zvakaitwa pakutonga kwaJoashi, nezvose zvaakaita, hazvina kunyorwa here mubhuku renhoroondo dzamadzimambo eJudha?
20 And his servants rose up and made a conspiracy, and smote Joas in the house of Mallo that is in Sela.
Vabati vake vakaita rangano yokumumukira vakamuuraya paBheti Miro, panzira yaienda kuSira.
21 And Jezirchar the son of Jemuath, and Jezabuth Somer's son, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amessias his son reigned in his stead.
Vabati vakamuuraya vakanga vari vanaJozabhadhi mwanakomana waShimeati naJehozabhadhi mwanakomana waShomeri. Akafa akavigwa pamwe chete namadzibaba ake muGuta raDhavhidhi. Uye Amazia mwanakomana wake akamutevera paumambo.
