< 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.
Jehu kah a kum rhih dongah Jehoash te manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum sawmli manghai. A manu ming tah Beersheba lamkah Zihiah ni.
2 And Joas did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all the days that Jodae the priest instructed him.
Jehoash loh amah tue khuiah tah khosoih Jehoiada kah a thuinuet bangla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem ni a saii.
3 Only there were not [any] of the high places removed, and the people still sacrificed there, and burnt incense on the high places.
Te cakhaw hmuensang te khoe pawh. Hmuensang ah pilnam a nawn tih a phum pueng.
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,
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 it to themselves, every man from [the proceeds of] his sale: and they shall repair the breaches of the house in all [places] wherever a breach shall be found.
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 And it came to pass in the twenty-third year of king Joas the priests [had] not repaired the breaches of the house.
Tedae manghai Jehoash a kum kul kum thum a lo duela khosoih rhoek loh im puut te biing uh pawh.
7 And king Joas called Jodae the priest, and the [other] priests, and said to them, Why have you not repaired the breaches of the house? now then receive no [more] money from your sales, for you shall give it to [repair the] breaches 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 And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, and not to repair the breaches of 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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].
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 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:
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 for they were to give it to the workmen, and they repaired therewith the house of the Lord.
Te te bitat aka saii rhoek taengah a paek uh tih te nen te BOEIPA im a moem uh.
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.
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 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.
Khosoih la a om uh dongah hmaithennah tangka neh boirhaem tangka tah BOEIPA im la khuen pawh.
17 Then went up Azael king of Syria, and fought against Geth, and took it: and Azael set his face to go against 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 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.
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 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?
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 rose up and made a conspiracy, and struck Joas in the house of Mallo that is in Sela.
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 Jezirchar the son of Jemuath, and Jezabuth Somer's son, his servants, struck him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amessias his son reigned in his stead.
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.
