2 Chronicles 24
1 Joash was seven years old when he began to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.
Joash te kum rhih a lo ca vaengah manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum sawmli manghai. A manu ming tah Beersheba lamkah Zihiah ni.
2 And Joash did what was right in the sight of Jehovah all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
Khosoih Jehoiada kah a tue khuiah tah Joash loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem a saii.
3 And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begot sons and daughters.
Anih ham te Jehoiada loh yuu panit a paek tih canu capa a sak.
4 And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to renew the house of Jehovah.
Te dongah a hnuk lamtah BOEIPA im te tlaih ham Joash kah lungbuei ah a om pah.
5 And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out to the cities of Judah and collect of all Israel money for the repair of the house of your God from year to year, and ye shall hasten the matter. But the Levites hastened it not.
Te phoeiah khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek te a coi tih amih te, “Judah khopuei rhoek la cet uh. Na Pathen im duel hamla kum khat, kum khat a rhoeh la Israel pum taengkah tangka coi uh. Nangmih te a ol bangla na tokthuet uh mai akhaw Levi rhoek tah tok boel saeh,” a ti nah.
6 And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tribute of Moses the servant of Jehovah [laid upon] the congregation of Israel, for the tent of the testimony?
Manghai loh boeilu Jehoiada te a khue tih a taengah, “Olphong dap dongkah hamla BOEIPA kah sal Moses neh Israel hlangping kah buham te, Judah lamkah neh Jerusalem lamloh khuen ham te balae tih Levi taengah na toem pawh?
7 For the wicked Athaliah [and] her sons had devastated the house of God; and also all the hallowed things of the house of Jehovah had they employed for the Baals.
Halangnu Athaliah kah a ca rhoek loh Pathen im te a muk uh coeng. BOEIPA im kah hnocim boeih khaw Baal hamla a saii uh,” a ti nah.
8 And the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it at the gate of the house of Jehovah without,
Te dongah manghai loh a ti bangla thingkawng pakhat a saii uh tih BOEIPA im poeng ben vongka ah a khueh uh.
9 and they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring to Jehovah the tribute of Moses the servant of God [laid upon] Israel in the wilderness.
Te phoeiah ah tah khosoek kah Israel taeng lamloh Pathen kah sal Moses buham te BOEIPA taengla khuen ham te Judah ah khaw Jerusalem ah ol a paek uh.
10 And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in and cast into the chest, until they had finished.
Te vaengah mangpa boeih neh pilnam boeih khaw a kohoe uh. Te dongah a khuen uh tih a thingkawng dongah a bae la a sang uh.
11 And it came to pass at the time the chest was brought for the king's control by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and high priest's officer came, and they emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
A tue a pha vaengah tah thingkawng te Levi kut lamloh manghai kah cawhkung taengla a khuen. Amih loh tangka muep a hmuh vaengah tah manghai kah cadaek neh khosoih boeilu kah hlangtawt te ha pawk. Te vaengah thingkawng te a kong uh tih a khuen uh. Amah a hmuen la a mael puei uh tih a hnin, hnin ah te tlam te a saii uh dongah tangka khaw a cung la a tung uh.
12 And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, and they hired masons and carpenters to renew the house of Jehovah, and also such as wrought in iron and bronze, to repair the house of Jehovah.
Te te manghai neh Jehoiada loh BOEIPA im kah thothuengnah bitat aka saii taengah a paek tih BOEIPA im a tlaih vaengkah lungto aka dae neh kutthai rhoek, BOEIPA im a duel vaengkah thi neh rhohum kutthai rhoek ham khaw a paang nah la om.
13 So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in its state, and strengthened it.
Aka saii rhoek loh bitat a saii uh van dongah amih kut dongkah bitat tah sading la cet. Pathen im te a lan a tang bangla a thoh uh tih a duel uh.
14 And when they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada; and they made of it vessels for the house of Jehovah, utensils to minister, and with which to offer up, and cups, and utensils of gold and silver. And they offered up burnt-offerings in the house of Jehovah continually all the days of Jehoiada.
A khah uh phoeiah tah tangka coih te manghai neh Jehoiada mikhmuh la a khuen uh. Te te BOEIPA im kah hnopai la, thohtatnah hnopai la a saii tih yakbu, sui neh cak hnopai khaw a khuen. Te dongah Jehoiada tue khuiah tah BOEIPA im ah hmueihhlutnah aka khuen khaw phueih om.
15 And Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died; he was a hundred and thirty years old when he died.
Jehoiada te patong tih a khohnin khaw cup coeng. A dueknah te khaw kum ya sawmthum a lo ca vaengah duek.
16 And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God and toward his house.
Anih tah Israel khuiah khaw Pathen ham neh a im ham a then a saii dongah David khopuei ah manghai rhoek taengah a up uh.
17 And after the death of Jehoiada the princes of Judah came and made obeisance to the king; then the king hearkened to them.
Tedae Jehoiada a dueknah hnukah tah Judah mangpa rhoek te cet uh tih manghai taengah bakop uh. Te vaengah manghai loh amih taengkah te a hnatun.
18 And they forsook the house of Jehovah the God of their fathers, and served the Asherahs and idols; and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.
A napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA im te a hnoo uh tih Asherah neh muei taengah tho a thueng uh. Amih kah dumlai kongah Judah neh Jerusalem soah thinhulnah om coeng.
19 And he sent prophets among them to bring them again to Jehovah, and they testified against them; but they would not give ear.
Amih te BOEIPA taengla mael puei ham amih taengah tonghma rhoek a tueih tih amih te a rhalrhing sak uh akhaw hnatun uh pawh.
20 And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood up above the people and said unto them, Thus saith God: Wherefore do ye transgress the commandments of Jehovah? And ye cannot prosper; for ye have forsaken Jehovah, and he hath forsaken you.
Te vaengah Pathen kah Mueihla loh khosoih Jehoiada capa Zekhariah te a thing. Te dongah pilnam te a taengah a pai thil tih amih te, “Pathen loh he ni a thui. Balae tih BOEIPA kah olpaek te na poe. Te dongah na thaihtak uh mahpawh. BOEIPA te na hnoo uh dongah nangmih khaw n'hnoo van coeng,” a ti nah.
21 And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the command of the king in the court of the house of Jehovah.
Te dongah anih te a taeng uh tih manghai olpaek bangla BOEIPA im kah vongup ah lungto neh a dae uh.
22 And king Joash remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, Jehovah see and require [it]!
Zekhariah napa Jehoiada loh Joash taengah a tueng sak sitlohnah te manghai Joash loh a poek moenih. Tedae a capa te a ngawn pah tih a duek thuk vaengah tah, “BOEIPA loh hmu saeh lamtah toem nawn saeh,” a ti.
23 And it came to pass at the end of the year [that] the army of Syria came up against him; and they entered into Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them to the king at Damascus.
Kum te a thoknah a pha vaengah tah Aram caem loh anih taengla cet. Judah neh Jerusalem te a kun thiluh. Te vaengah pilnam lamkah pilnam mangpa boeih te a phae uh tih amih kah kutbuem boeih te Damasku manghai taengla a pat uh.
24 Truly with a small company of men came the army of the Syrians, but Jehovah delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken Jehovah the God of their fathers; and they executed judgment upon Joash.
Aram caem te hlang a yol neh cet dae, tatthai cungkuem aka yet bangla BOEIPA loh amih kut ah a paek. A napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA te a toeng uh dongah Joash soah tholhphu a suk.
25 And when they had departed from him (for they left him in great diseases), his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died; and they buried him in the city of David, but they did not bury him in the sepulchres of the kings.
Anih taeng lamloh a khoe uh vaengah anih te boengha boengha hoeng la hnoo uh. Khosoih Jehoiada koca rhoek kah thii kongah anih te a sal rhoek loh a taeng uh tih a baiphaih dongah amah la a ngawn uh. A duek vaengah anih te David khopuei ah a up uh. Tedae manghai phuel ah a up moenih.
26 And these are they that conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess.
Anih aka taeng rhoek tah Ammoni Shimeath capa Zabad, Moab Shimrith capa Jehozabad.
27 And as to his sons, and the greatness of the burdens [laid] upon him, and the building of the house of God, behold, they are written in the treatise of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
Anih koca rhoek neh a cungkuem dongah anih kah laipuei olrhuh khaw, Pathen im a phueng te khaw, manghai rhoek kah cil neh cabu khuiah a daek uh ne. Te phoeiah a capa Amaziah te anih yueng la manghai.
