2 Kings 12
1 In the seuenth yere of Iehu Iehoash began to reigne, and reigned fourty yeres in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.
Le Yehu ƒe fiaɖuɖu le Israel ƒe ƒe adrelia me la, Yoas zu Yuda fia. Eɖu fia le Yerusalem ƒe blaene. Dadae nye Zibia tso Beerseba.
2 And Iehoash did that which was good in the sight of the Lord all his time that Iehoiada the Priest taught him.
Ewɔ nu dzɔdzɔe le eƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me elabena nunɔlagã Yehoiada fia afɔɖoƒee.
3 But the hie places were not taken away: for the people offred yet and burnt incense in the hie places.
Gake, megbã nuxeƒewo le toawo dzi o, ale ameawo gasaa vɔ eye wogadoa dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ le afi ma kokoko.
4 And Iehoash sayde to the Priestes, All the siluer of dedicate things that bee brought to the house of the Lord, that is, the money of them that are vnder the count, the money that euery man is set at, and all the money that one offereth willingly, and bringeth into the house of the Lord,
Yoas gblɔ na nunɔlawo be, “Miƒo ƒu ga siwo katã wotsɔ vɛ na Yehowa abe nunana kɔkɔewo ene, ga si miekpɔ le amexexlẽ la me, ga si ka mia si, si nye amewo ƒe adzɔgbeɖeɖewo kple lɔlɔ̃nununana si amewo tsɔ va gbedoxɔ la me.
5 Let the Priestes take it to them, euery man of his acquaintance: and they shall repaire the broken places of the house, wheresoeuer any decay is founde.
Mina nunɔla ɖe sia ɖe naxɔ ga la tso gadzikpɔla ɖeka si eye miawɔ eŋu dɔ adzra nu sia nu si miekpɔ be egblẽ le gbedoxɔa me la ɖo.”
6 Yet in the three and twentieth yeere of King Iehoash the Priestes had not mended that which was decayed in the Temple.
Ke le eƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃lia me la, nunɔlawo medzra gbedoxɔ la ɖo o.
7 Then King Iehoash called for Iehoiada the Priest, and the other Priestes, and sayd vnto them, Why repaire yee not the ruines of the Temple? nowe therefore receiue no more money of your acquaintance, except yee deliuer it to repaire the ruines of the Temple.
Ale Yoas yɔ Yehoiada kple nunɔla bubuawo eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Nu ka ta miewɔ naneke tso gbedoxɔ la ŋu kpɔ o? Azɔ la, migawɔ ga aɖeke ŋu dɔ na miawo ŋutɔ ƒe nuhiahiãwo o. Tso azɔ dzi yina la, ele be miawɔ ga ɖe sia ɖe ŋu dɔ hena gbedoxɔ la dzadzraɖo.”
8 So the Priestes consented to receiue no more money of the people, neither to repaire the decayed places of the Temple.
Ale nunɔlawo ɖo be yewoaɖo ga tɔxɛ aɖe da ɖi si mato yewoƒe asi me o, ale be yewomawɔ eŋu dɔ na yewo ŋutɔ ƒe nuhiahiãwo o.
9 Then Iehoiada the Priest tooke a chest and bored an hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side, as euery man commeth into the Temple of the Lord. And the Priestes that kept the doore, put therein all the money that was brought into the house of the Lord.
Nunɔla Yehoiada ɖe do gã aɖe ɖe tsitrenuɖaka gã aɖe tame eye wòtsɔe da ɖe vɔsamlekpui si le gbedoxɔ la ƒe mɔnu la ƒe ɖusime. Ʋɔtrua ŋu dzɔlawo tsɔa ga siwo ameawo tsɔna vɛ la dea eme.
10 And when they sawe there was much money in the chest, the Kinges Secretarie came vp and the hie Priest, and put it vp after that they had tolde the money that was found in the house of the Lord,
Ne tsitrenuɖaka la yɔ la, fia ƒe gaŋutinyaŋlɔla kple nunɔlagã la xlẽa ga la, denɛ kotokuwo me
11 And they gaue the money made readie into the handes of them, that vndertooke the worke, and that had the ouersight of the house of the Lord; and they payed it out to the carpenters and builders that wrought vpon the house of the Lord,
Esi woɖo kpe ga homea dzi la, wotsɔe na ame siwo wotia be woakpɔ dɔa dzi le gbedoxɔ la ŋuti. Wotsɔ ga sia xe fe na ame siwo wɔ dɔ le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la ŋu, atikpalawo kple xɔtulawo,
12 And to the masons and hewers of stone, and to bye timber and hewed stone, to repayre that was decayed in the house of the Lord, and for all that which was layed out for the reparation of the Temple.
gliɖolawo kple kpekpalawo. Woƒle ati kple kpe kpakpawo hena Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la dzadzra ɖo eye woxe fe bubu ɖe sia ɖe si ku ɖe gbedoxɔ la dzadzraɖo ŋu.
13 Howbeit there was not made for the house of the Lord bowles of siluer, instruments of musicke, basons, trumpets, nor any vessels of golde, or vessels of siluer of the money that was brought into the house of the Lord.
Womewɔ ga si wotsɔ va gbedoxɔ la me la ŋu dɔ na klosalogbawo, akaɖimeɖovulãnuwo, ʋutrewo, kpẽwo alo nu bubu ɖe sia ɖe si wowɔ kple sika alo klosalo la ƒeƒle na Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ o.
14 But they gaue it to the workemen, which repayred therewith the house of the Lord.
Wotsɔe xe fee na dɔwɔlawo, ame siwo dzra gbedoxɔ la ɖo.
15 Moreouer, they reckoned not with the men, into whose handes they deliuered that money to be bestowed on workemen: for they dealt faithfully.
Womebia tso dɔdzikpɔlawo si be woawɔ akɔnta na ame aɖeke o elabena wonye nuteƒewɔlawo.
16 The money of the trespasse offring and the money of ye sinne offrings was not brought into the house of the Lord: for it was the Priests.
Ke wotsɔa ga siwo amewo nana abe fɔɖivɔsa kple nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa ene la ya naa nunɔlawo hena wo ŋu dɔ wɔwɔ. Ga siawo ya megena ɖe tsitrenuɖaka la me o.
17 Then came vp Hazael King of Aram, and fought against Gath and tooke it, and Hazael set his face to goe vp to Ierusalem.
Fia Hazael, Siria fia ho aʋa ɖe Gat ŋu le ɣeyiɣi sia me, ɖu edzi eye wòɖe zɔ ɖe Yerusalem hã dzi.
18 And Iehoash King of Iudah tooke all the halowed thinges that Iehoshaphat, and Iehoram, and Ahaziah his fathers Kings of Iudah had dedicated, and that he himselfe had dedicated, and all the golde that was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord and in the Kings house, and sent it to Hazael King of Aram, and he departed from Ierusalem.
Fia Yoas tsɔ nu siwo ŋu fofoawo, Yuda fiawo abe Yehosafat, Yehoram kple Ahazia ene kɔ kple nu siwo eya ŋutɔ hã wɔ kple sika si nɔ gbedoxɔ la kple fiasã la ƒe nudzraɖoƒewo me la ɖo ɖe Aram fia Hazael. Ale Hazael megaho aʋa ɖe Yerusalem ŋu o.
19 Concerning the rest of the acts of Ioash and all that he did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
Woŋlɔ Yoas ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa ɖe, Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
20 And his seruants arose and wrought treason, and slewe Ioash in the house of Millo, when he came downe to Silla:
Eŋumewo ɖo nugbe ɖe eŋu eye wowui le fiasã la me le Bet Milo, le Sila mɔ dzi.
21 Euen Iozachar the sonne of Shimeath, and Iehozabad the sonne of Shomer his seruants smote him, and he dyed: and they buried him with his fathers in the citie of Dauid. And Amaziah his sonne reigned in his stead.
Ame siwo wui la woe nye: Yozakad, Simeat ƒe vi kple Yehozabad, Somer ƒe vi. Ame eve siawo nye fia la ƒe dɔla nuteƒewɔlawo hafi! Woɖii ɖe fiawo ƒe ameɖibɔ me le Yerusalem eye via Amazia ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
