< 2 Chronicles 24 >

1 Joas was seven years old when he began to reign: and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Sebia of Bersabee.
Fito taona no niainan’ i Joasy, fony izy vao nanjaka, efa efa-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Zibia, avy any Beri-sheba.
2 And he did that which is good before the Lord all the days of Joiada the priest.
Ary Joasy nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainan’ i Joiada mpisorona.
3 And Joiada took for him two wives, by whom he had sons and daughters.
Ary nangalan’ i Joiada vady roa Joasy, dia niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
4 After this Joas had a mind to repair the house of the Lord.
Ary nony afaka izany, dia mby ao am-pon i Joasy ny hanamboatra ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
5 And he assembled the priests, and the Levites, and said to them: Go out to the cities of Juda, and gather of all Israel money to repair the temple of your God, from year to year: and do this with speed: but the Levites were negligent.
Dia namory ny mpisorona sy ny Levita izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mandehana ho any amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Joda, ka mamoria vola isan-taona amin’ ny Isiraely rehetra hanamboarana ny tranon’ Andriamanitrareo; ary hafainganonareo ny raharaha. Nefa ny Levita tsy nanafaingana izany.
6 And the king called Joiada the chief, and said to him: Why hast thou not taken care to oblige the Levites to bring in out of Juda and Jerusalem the money that was appointed by Moses the servant of the Lord for all the multitude of Israel to bring into the tabernacle of the testimony?
Ary ny mpanjaka dia nampaka an’ i Joiada, lohany tamin’ ireo, ka nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana no tsy nasainao nitondra ny hetra avy tany Joda sy Jerosalema ny Levita, araka ny didin’ i Mosesy, mpanompon’ i Jehovah sy ny fiangonan’ ny Isiraely ho ao amin’ ny tabernakelin’ ny vavolombelona?
7 For that wicked woman Athalia, and her children have destroyed the house of God, and adorned the temple of Baal with all the things that had been dedicated in the temple of the Lord.
Fa ny zanak’ i Atalia, ilay vehivavy ratsy fanahy, efa nandrava ny tranon’ Andriamanitra; ary ny zavatra masìna rehetra tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah koa dia efa nateriny ho an’ ireo Bala.
8 And the king commanded, and they made a chest: and set it by the gate of the house of the Lord on the outside.
Ary nasain’ ny mpanjaka nanao vata anankiray izy, dia napetrany teo ivelan’ ny vavahadin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah izany.
9 And they made a proclamation in Juda and Jerusalem, that every man should bring to the Lord the money which Moses the servant of God appointed for all Israel, in the desert.
Ary nandefa teny eran’ i Joda sy Jerosalema izy mba haterina ho an’ i Jehovah ny hetra izay nasain’ i Mosesy, mpanompon’ Andriamanitra, haloan’ ny Isiraely, fony izy tany an-efitra.
10 And all the princes, and all the people rejoiced: and going In they contributed and cast so much into the chest of the Lord, that it was filled.
Dia faly ny mpanapaka rehetra sy ny vahoaka rehetra, ka dia nitondra izany ary nandatsaka azy tao amin’ ny vata ambara-pahatapiny.
11 And when it was time to bring the chest before the king by the hands of the Levites, (for they saw there was much money, ) the king’s scribe, and he whom the high priest had appointed went in: and they poured out the money that was in the chest: and they carried back the chest to its place: and thus they did from day to day, and there was gathered an immense sum of money.
Ary tamin’ izay andro nitondran’ ny Levita ny vata ho any amin’ ny toniany voatendrin’ ny mpanjaka, raha hitany fa be ny vola, dia avy ny mpanoratry ny mpanjaka sy ny toniany voatendrin’ ny mpisoronabe ka nanaisotra izay rehetra tao amin’ ny vata, dia nitondra ny vata niverina ho eo amin’ ny fitoerany indray. Toy izany no nataony mandrakariva, ka nahavory vola betsaka izy.
12 And the king and Joiada gave it to those who were over the works of the house of the Lord: but they hired with it stonecutters, and artificers of every kind of work to repair the house of the Lord: and such as wrought in iron and brass, to uphold what began to be falling.
Ary nomen’ ny mpanjaka sy Joiada ho an’ izay nanao ny raharahan’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah ny vola, ka nanakaraman’ ireo mpipai-bato sy mpandrafitra ary mpanefy vy sy varahina mba hanamboatra ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
13 And the workmen were diligent, and the breach of the walls was closed up by their hands, and they set up the house of the Lord in its former state, and made it stand firm.
Dia nanao ny mpiasa, ka vita tsara ny asa; ary namboariny ho toy ny teo aloha ny tranon’ Andriamanitra ka nataony mafy.
14 And when they had finished all the works, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Joiada: and with it were made vessels for the temple for the ministry, and for holocausts and bowls, and other vessels of gold and silver: and holocausts were offered in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Joiada.
Ary nony vitany izany, dia nentiny teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka sy Joiada ny vola sisa ka nanaovany fanaka ho an’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah, dia fanaka ho enti-manao fanompoam-pivavahana sy manatitra fanatitra ary lovia kely sy fanaka volamena sy volafotsy. Ary nanatitra fanatitra dorana tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah mandrakariva izy tamin’ ny andron’ i Joiada rehetra.
15 But Joiada grew old and was full of days, and died when he was a hundred and thirty years old.
Fa tratrantitra sy ela niainana Joiada vao maty: telo-polo amby zato taona izy vao maty.
16 And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good to Israel, and to his house.
Ary nalevina tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida tao amin’ ny mpanjaka izy, satria nanao soa teo amin’ ny Isiraely ary tamin’ Andriamanitra sy ny tranony koa.
17 And after the death of Joiada, the princes of Juda went in, and worshipped the king: and he was soothed by their services and hearkened to them.
Ary rehefa maty Joiada, dia avy Ireo mpanapaka ny Joda ka niankohoka teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka. Dia nihaino azy ny mpanjaka.
18 And they forsook the temple of the Lord the God of their fathers, and served groves and idols, and wrath came upon Juda and Jerusalem for this sin.
Ary nandao ny tranon’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, ireo ka nanompo ny Aseraha sy ny sampy dia nisy fahatezerana nihatra tamin’ ny Joda sy Jerosalema noho ny fahadisoany.
19 And he sent prophets to them to bring them back to the Lord, and they would not give ear when they testified against them.
Ary naniraka mpaminany tany aminy Izy hampiverina azy amin’ i Jehovah; dia nananatra azy mafy ireo, nefa tsy nety nihaino izy.
20 The spirit of God then came upon Zacharias the son of Joiada the priest, and he stood in the sight of the people, and said to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Why transgress you the commandment of the Lord which will not be for your good, and have forsaken the Lord, to make him forsake you?
Ary Zakaria, zanak’ i Joiada mpisorona, notsindrian’ ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra, dia nitsangana teo amin’ ny avoavo teo anatrehan’ ny vahoaka izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ Andriamanitra: Nahoana ianareo no mandika ny didin’ i Jehovah ka tsy mahita fanambinana? Satria efa nahafoy an’ i Jehovah ianareo, dia nahafoy anareo kosa Izy.
21 And they gathered themselves together against him, and stoned him at the king’s commandment in the court of the house of the Lord.
Dia nanao teti-dratsy ireo ka nitora-bato azy teo amin’ ny kianjan’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah araka ny tenin’ ny mpanjaka.
22 And king Joas did not remember the kindness that Joiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. And when he died, he said: The Lord see, and require it.
Toy izany no tsy nahatsiarovan’ i Joasy mpanjaka ny soa nataon’ i Joiada rainy taminy, fa namono ny zanany izy. Ary nony efa ho faty Zakaria, dia niteny hoe: Jehovah anie hijery sy hamaly izao.
23 And when a year was come about, the army of Syria came up against him: and they came to Juda and Jerusalem, and killed all the princes of the people, and they sent all the spoils to the king of Damascus.
Ary nony efa niherina ny taona, dia avy ny miaramilan’ i Syria hiady taminy; ary tonga tany Joda sy Jerosalema izy, ka matiny avokoa ny mpanapaka rehetra tao amin’ ny olona, ary nampitondrainy ho any amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Damaskosy ny babo rehetra.
24 And whereas there came a very small number of the Syrians, the Lord delivered into their hands an infinite multitude, because they had forsaken the Lord the God of their fathers: and on Joas they executed shameful judgments.
Fa vitsy ny miaramilan’ ny Syriana izay tonga teo, nefa Jehovah nanolotra miaramila maro ho eo an-tànany noho ny nahafoizany an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany. Toy izany no nahatanterahan’ ireo ny famaliana an’ i Joasy.
25 And departing they left him in diseases: and his servants rose up him, for revenge of the blood of the son of Joiada the priest, and they slew him in his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
Ary nony nilaozany tamin’ ny faharariany mafy izy, ny mpanompony dia niodina taminy noho ny ran’ ny zanak’ i Joiada mpisorona, ka namono azy teo am-pandriany, dia maty izy; ary naleviny tany an-Tanànan’ i Davida ihany izy, nefa tsy tao amin’ ny fasan’ ny mpanjaka.
26 Now the men that conspired against him were Zabad the son of Semmaath an Ammonitess, and Jozabad the son of Semarith a Moabitess.
Ary izao no niodina taminy: Zabada, zanak’ i Simata Amonita, sy Jozabada, zanak’ i Simrita Moabita.
27 And concerning his sons, and the sum of money which was gathered under him, and the repairing the house of God; they are written more diligently in the book of kings: and Amasias his son reigned in his stead.
Ary ny amin’ ny zanany sy ny hamafin’ ny faminaniana nilaza ny loza hanjo azy ary ny nanamboarany ny tranon’ Andriamanitra, indro, efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjaka izany. Ary Amazia zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
