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.
Nʼafọ nke asaa, nke ọchịchị Jehu nʼIzrel, ka Joash malitere ịbụ eze na Juda. Iri afọ anọ ka ọ chịrị dịka eze na Jerusalem. Aha nne ya bụ Zibịa onye Bịasheba.
2 And Iehoash did that which was good in the sight of the Lord all his time that Iehoiada the Priest taught him.
Joash mere ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị ụbọchị niile nke Jehoiada onye nchụaja ziri ya ihe.
3 But the hie places were not taken away: for the people offred yet and burnt incense in the hie places.
Ma naanị na o wezugaghị ebe ịchụ aja niile dị nʼugwu. Ndị Juda nọgidere na-achụ aja dị iche iche nʼebe ahụ, na-esurekwa ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ.
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,
Joash sịrị ndị nchụaja, “Nakọtaanụ ego niile a na-ewebata dịka onyinye dị nsọ nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, ya bụ, ego a na-anakọta nʼoge ịgụ mmadụ ọnụ, na ego e webatara maka imezu nkwa ndị mmadụ kwere, na ego e webatara nʼụlọnsọ ukwu dịka onyinye afọ ofufe.
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.
Ka onye nchụaja ọbụla site nʼaka otu nʼime ndị na-eche ego nara ego, a ga-eji mezie ihe ọbụla a chọpụtara na o mebiri nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.”
6 Yet in the three and twentieth yeere of King Iehoash the Priestes had not mended that which was decayed in the Temple.
Ma nʼafọ nke iri abụọ na atọ nke ọchịchị eze Joash, ọ chọpụtara na ndị nchụaja ahụ emezibeghị ihe mebiri nʼụlọnsọ.
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.
Ya mere, eze Joash kpọrọ Jehoiada, onye nchụaja, kpọkwaa ndị nchụaja ndị ọzọ jụọ ha, “Gịnị mere unu emezibeghị ụlọnsọ a? Site ugbu a gaa nʼihu, unu esitekwala nʼaka ndị na-eche ego anara ego ọzọ, kama, nyefeenụ ya maka iji dozie ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.”
8 So the Priestes consented to receiue no more money of the people, neither to repaire the decayed places of the Temple.
Ndị nchụaja ahụ kwenyere sị, “Anyị agaghị esitekwa nʼaka ndị mmadụ nara ego ọbụla. Otu a kwa, anyị agaghị emezikwa ụlọnsọ ukwu a nʼonwe anyị.”
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Jehoiada wetara otu igbe mepuo oghere nʼelu ya, debe ya nʼakụkụ ebe ịchụ aja, nʼaka nri dịka mmadụ na-abata nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị. Ndị nchụaja niile na-eche nche nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọnsọ ahụ na-etinye ego niile e webatara nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị nʼime igbe ahụ.
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,
Mgbe ọbụla ha hụrụ na igbe ego ahụ ejupụtala nʼego, onye ode akwụkwọ ụlọeze na onyeisi nchụaja na-abịa, gụọ ego ahụ e webatara nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, tinye ha nʼakpa.
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,
Ha na-ewere ego ahụ a gụrụ ọnụ, nyefee nʼaka ndị ikom ahọpụtara maka ilekọta ndị ọrụ na-emezi ụlọ Onyenwe anyị. Ndị ahụ na-eji ya kwụọ ndị ọkwa ǹka osisi na ndị na-ewu ụlọ,
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.
na ndị na-edo nkume, na ndị na-awa nkume ụgwọ. Ọ bụ sitekwa nʼego ahụ ka a na-azụta osisi na nkume a wara awa iji dozie ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, na ịkwụ ụgwọ ihe ndị ọzọ e ji emezi ihe niile ekwesiri imezi nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
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.
E jikwaghị ego ahụ e webatara nʼụlọnsọ kpụta efere ọlaọcha, ihe e ji akpakepụ ọkụ, efere ịkwọsa mmiri, opi maọbụ ihe ndị ọzọ nke e ji ọlaedo maọbụ ọlaọcha kpụọ maka ụlọnsọ ukwu nke Onyenwe anyị.
14 But they gaue it to the workemen, which repayred therewith the house of the Lord.
Ọ bụ ndị na-eje ozi, ndị ji ya rụzie ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị ka e nyere ya.
15 Moreouer, they reckoned not with the men, into whose handes they deliuered that money to be bestowed on workemen: for they dealt faithfully.
O nweghị onye a sịrị ka ọ gụzie otu e si jiri ego ahụ rụọ ọrụ, bụ ndị e nyere ego ahụ maka ịkwụ ndị ọrụ ụgwọ, nʼihi na ha bụ ndị kwesiri ntụkwasị obi.
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.
E webataghị ego niile sitere nʼaja ikpe ọmụma nakwa aja mmehie nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwuu Onyenwe anyị. Ọ bụ ndị nchụaja nwe nke ahụ.
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.
Nʼoge ahụ, Hazael eze Aram, gara buso Gat agha, lụgbuo ya, dọta ya nʼagha. Emesịa, o chere ihu nʼụzọ Jerusalem imegide ya.
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.
Ma Joash, bụ eze Juda, chịkọtara ihe niile ahụ bụ nke Jehoshafat, Jehoram na Ahazaya nna ya, ndị bụ eze Juda doro nsọ nye Chineke, chịrịkwa onyinye nke ya onwe ya dokwara nsọ, na ọlaedo niile, na akụ niile e nwere ike ịchọta nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, na nke dị nʼụlọeze, zigara Hazael, bụ eze Aram. Nʼihi ihe ndị a, ọ lara, hapụ ibuso Jerusalem agha.
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?
Akụkọ gbasara ọchịchị eze Joash, na ihe niile o mere, e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe ndị eze Juda niile mere nʼoge ha.
20 And his seruants arose and wrought treason, and slewe Ioash in the house of Millo, when he came downe to Silla:
Ndị ozi ya gbara izu ọjọọ megide Joash, gbukwaa ya na Bet Milo, nʼụzọ e si aga Sila.
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.
Ndịisi ozi ahụ gburu ya bụ Jozabad nwa Shimeat, na Jehozabad nwa Shomea. Ọ nwụrụ, e lie ya na ndị nna nna ya ha nʼobodo Devid. Amazaya nwa ya, ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
