2 Chronicles 24
1 Joash was seven when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for forty years. His mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
Joash teh kum sari touh a pha navah, siangpahrang a tawk. Jerusalem vah kum 40 touh a bawi. A manu e min teh Beersheba tami Zibiah doeh.
2 Joash did what was right in the Lord's sight during the lifetime of Jehoiada the priest.
Vaihma Jehoiada a hring nah thung, Joash teh BAWIPA mithmu hnokahawi a sak.
3 Jehoiada arranged for him to marry two wives, and he had sons and daughters.
Jehoiada ni a yu kahni touh a la pouh teh, ca tongpanaw hoi napuinaw a sak.
4 Some time later, Joash decided to repair the Lord's Temple.
Hathnukkhu BAWIPA im pathoup hanelah, Joash ni a kâcai.
5 He summoned the priests and Levites and told them, “Go to the towns of Judah and collect the yearly dues from everyone in Israel to repair the Temple of your God. Do it right away.” But the Levites did not go right away.
Vaihmanaw hoi Levihnaw a kaw teh, Judah ram e khonaw koe cet awh nateh, kum tangkuem Cathut im pathoup nahanelah, Isarelnaw koe tangka cawng awh. Karanglah tang kâroe awh, telah atipouh. Hatei, Levihnaw ni karanglah kâroe pouh hoeh.
6 So the king called for Jehoiada the high priest and asked him, “Why haven't you ordered the Levites to collect from Judah and Jerusalem the tax that Moses, the Lord's servant, and the assembly of Israel imposed to maintain the Tent of the Law?”
Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang ni vaihma bawi e Jehoiada a kaw teh ahni koe, bangkongmaw Levihnaw hah BAWIPA e san Mosi hoi Isarel rangpuinaw lawkpanuesaknae lukkareiim hanelah cawng e tamuk hah Judahnaw hoi Jerusalem e taminaw koe na dei pouh hoeh vaw.
7 (The supporters of that wicked woman Athaliah had broken into God's Temple and had stolen the holy objects of the Lord's Temple and used them to worship the Baals.)
Napui kathout Athaliah e capanaw ni, Cathut im koung a raphoe awh toe. Hahoi BAWIPA im dawk e hnopai pueng hai Baal koevah a poe awh toe, telah atipouh.
8 The king ordered a collection chest to be made and placed outside the entrance to the Lord's Temple.
Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang kâpoelawk patetlah thingkong buet touh a sak awh teh, BAWIPA im alawilah longkha teng a hruek awh.
9 A decree was proclaimed throughout Judea and Jerusalem to bring to the Lord the tax that Moses, the Lord's servant, imposed on Israel in the wilderness.
Hahoi kahrawngum vah Cathut e san Mosi ni, Isarelnaw tamuk cawng hanelah a dei e hah, BAWIPA hanelah koung a thokhai nahan, Judah ram pueng hoi Jerusalem vah a pathang awh.
10 All the leaders and all the people were glad to do so and brought their taxes. They dropped them in the chest until it was full.
Hat navah, ukkungnaw hoi taminaw pueng teh a lunghawi awh teh, tangka teh a thokhai awh. Koung a cawng awh hoehnahlan vah, thingkong dawk ka paphnawn lah a pâseng awh toe.
11 Every so often the Levites took the chest to the king's officials. When they saw that it contained a large amount of money, the king's secretary and the chief officer of the high priest would come and empty the chest. Then they would carry it back to its place. They did this every day and collected a great deal of money.
Levihnaw ni siangpahrang kabawmkungnaw koe thingkong a thokhai awh teh, tangka moikapap ao tie a panue awh torei teh, siangpahrang e ca kathutkungnaw hoi vaihma bawi kabawmkungnaw ni, thingkong dawk e tangka a la awh hnukkhu, thingkong teh amae hmuen koe bout a hruek awh. Hottelah hnintangkuem a sak awh teh, tangka moikapap a pâtung awh.
12 Then the king and Jehoiada would allocate the money of those supervising the work on the Lord's Temple to hire stonecutters and carpenters to restore the Lord's Temple and craftsmen in iron and bronze to repair the Lord's Temple.
Hahoi siangpahrang Jehoiada ni BAWIPA e im dawk thaw katawkkungnaw kut dawk a poe awh. BAWIPA e im pathoup nahanelah, talung kadeinaw hoi kutsakkathoumnaw a hlai awh teh, BAWIPA e im pathoup nahanelah, sum hoi rahum kahlunthainaw hai a hlai awh.
13 The men doing the repairs worked hard and made good progress. They restored God's Temple to its original condition and strengthened it.
Hottelah thaw katawkkungnaw ni thapatho lahoi na tawk awh dawkvah, Cathut im teh apasueke boiboe lah a pathoup awh teh a caksak awh.
14 When they finished, they returned the money that was left to the king and Jehoiada, and with it utensils were made for the Lord's Temple, both for the worship services and for the burnt offerings, also bowls for incense and vessels of gold and silver. Burnt offerings were regularly offered in the Lord's Temple regularly throughout Jehoiada's lifetime.
A cum awh torei teh kacawie tangkanaw pueng teh, siangpahrang hoi Jehoiada koe a thokhai awh. Hote tangka hoi BAWIPA e im dawk thaw tawk nahanelah, hnopai, thueng nahanelah hnopai hoi pacen, sui hoi ngun manang naw lah a sak awh. Hottelah Jehoiada a hringyung thung teh BAWIPA im dawk hmaisawi thuengnae pout laipalah pou a sak awh.
15 Jehoiada grew old and died at the age of 130, having lived a full life.
Hatei Jehoiada teh a matawng poung toung dawkvah a due. A due navah a kum 130 touh a pha.
16 He was buried with the kings in the City of David, for all the good he had done in Israel for God and his Temple.
Isarelnaw thung dawk Cathut hoi a im dawk hawinae a sak kecu dawk Devit khopui dawk siangpahrangnaw koe a pakawp awh.
17 But after the death of Jehoiada, the leaders of Judah came to swear their loyalty to the king, and he listened to their advice.
Jehoiada a due hnukkhu, Judah kahrawikungnaw a tho awh teh, siangpahrang koe a tabo awh. Hahoi siangpahrang ni ahnimae lawk a tarawi pouh.
18 They abandoned the Temple of the Lord, the God of their forefathers, and worshiped Asherah poles and idols. Judah and Jerusalem were punished because of their sin.
Hottelah mintoenaw e Cathut im a hnamthun takhai awh teh, thingmeikaphawk hoi meikaphawk a bawk awh. Hahoi a yon awh dawkvah, Judahnaw hoi Jerusalem lathueng lungkhueknae a pha.
19 The Lord sent prophets to bring the people back to him and to warn them; but they refused to listen.
Hatei, BAWIPA koe bout bankhai hanelah, profetnaw a patoun teh a yonae a panue sak ei, ngai awh hoeh.
20 Then the Spirit of God came to Zechariah, son of Jehoiada the priest. He stood before the people and told them, “This is what God says: ‘Why do you break the Lord's commandments so that you cannot be successful? Since you have abandoned the Lord, he has abandoned you.’”
Hahoi vaihma Jehoiada e capa Zekhariah koe Cathut e Muitha teh a pha. Ahni ni rangpuinaw koe a kangdue teh ahnimouh koe, Cathut ni hettelah a dei, bangkongmaw hawinae na hmu awh hoeh hanelah BAWIPA e kâpoelawknaw na tapoe awh. BAWIPA na pahnawt awh dawkvah, ahni ni hai nangmouh na pahnawt awh telah atipouh.
21 Then the leaders hatched a plot to kill Zechariah, and on the orders of the king they stoned him to death in the courtyard of the Lord's Temple.
Hatdawkvah, ahni a taran awh teh, siangpahrang ni kâpoe e patetlah BAWIPA im kalupnae thung talung hoi koung kadout lah a dei awh.
22 King Joash showed he had forgotten all about the loyalty and love shown to him by Jehoiada, Zechariah's father, by killing his son. As he died, Zechariah cried out, “May the Lord see what you've done and pay you back!”
Hottelah, siangpahrang Joash ni a na pa Jehoiada e lungpatawnae pouk laipalah, a capa a thei pouh. A due han toteh, BAWIPA ni a pouk vaiteh moi a pathung han doeh telah a ti.
23 At the end of the year, the Aramean army came to attack Joash. They invaded Judah and Jerusalem and killed all the people's leaders, and sent all their plunder back to the king of Damascus.
Hote kum abaw navah, Siria ransanaw ni a tuk awh. Judah ram hoi Jerusalem a kâen awh teh, kahrawikungnaw pueng koung a thei awh teh, Damaskas siangpahrang koevah, lawphno pueng koung a patawn awh.
24 Even though the Aramean army had come with only a few men, the Lord gave them the victory over a very large army, because Judah had abandoned the Lord, the God of their forefathers. In this way they punished Joash.
Judahnaw ni mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut a pahnawt kecu dawk tami moiapap eiteh, kayounca e Siria ransanaw e kut dawk BAWIPA ni a poe teh, Sirianaw ni Joash koe runae a pha sak.
25 When the Arameans departed, they left Joash badly wounded. But then his own officers plotted against him for murdering the son of Jehoiada the priest, and they killed him in his bed. He was buried in the City of David, but not in the cemetery of the kings.
Hahoi puenghoi a pataw lahunnah a ban takhai hnukkhu, amamouh letlang ni vaihma Jehoiada e thipaling kecu dawk a sannaw ni a kâcoun awh teh, ikhun dawk a i lahun nah a thei awh. Hatdawkvah, ahni teh a due. Devit khopui dawk a pakawp awh. Hatei, siangpahrangnaw e phuen koe pakawm awh hoeh.
26 Those who plotted against him were Zabad, son of Shimeath, an Ammonite woman, and Jehozabad, son of Shimrith, a Moabite woman.
Ahni ka thet e tami teh Ammon napui Shimeath capa Zabad hoi Moab napui Shimrith capa Jehozabad doeh.
27 The story of the sons of Joash, as well as the many prophecies about him and about the restoration of God's Temple, are recorded in the Commentary on the Book of the Kings. His son Amaziah took over as king.
Hottelah a capanaw e kong hoi amae kong dei e naw hoi Cathut im kahawicalah bout pathoupnae kong naw teh, khenhaw! siangpahrangnaw e kong caisaknae cauk dawk thut lah ao nahoehmaw. Hahoi, a yueng lah a capa Amaziah ni a bawi.
