2 Chronicles 24
1 Seven years old was Joash when he became king, and forty years did he reign in Jerusalem: and the name of his mother was Zibyah 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 is right in the eyes of the Lord, all the days of Yehoyada' the priest.
Khosoih Jehoiada kah a tue khuiah tah Joash loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem a saii.
3 And Yehoyada' took for himself two wives, and he begat 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 Yoash had it in his mind to renew the house of the Lord.
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 unto the cities of Judah, and gather from all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and ye shall make haste in this matter. But the Levites made no haste.
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 Then called the king for Yehoyada' the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required from the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the contribution [fixed by] Moses the servant of the Lord, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle 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 sons of the wicked 'Athalyahu have made breaches [in] the house of God; and also the holy things of the house of the Lord have they applied to the Be'alim.
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 at the king's order they made a chest, and placed it at the gate of the house of the Lord on the outside.
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 in to the Lord the contribution [fixed by] Moses the servant of God 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 they brought it in, and cast it into the chest, until it was full.
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 Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, then came the king's scribe and the high-priest's officer and emptied the chest, and took it up, and brought it back to its place. Thus did they 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 Yehoyada' gave it to those who overlooked the service of the house of the Lord, and these hired masons and carpenters to renew the house of the Lord, and also to the workers in iron and copper to repair the house of the Lord.
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 restored through their means, and they replaced the house of God in its [former] 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 completed it, they brought before the king and Yehoyada' the rest of the money, and they made of it vessels for the house of the Lord, the vessels of the service and for the sacrificing, and the spoons, and [other] vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt-offerings in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Yehoyada'.
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 Yehoyada' became old, and was full of days, and died: he was old one hundred and thirty years 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 a good thing in Israel, and toward God, and 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 But after the death of Yehoyada' came the princes of Judah, and bowed themselves down to the king. Then did the king hearken unto 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 the Lord the God of their fathers, and served the Asherim and the idols: and there came wrath over Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness.
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 back again unto the Lord; and they gave them warning; but they did 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 endued Zechariah the son of Yehoyada' the priest, and he stood up above the people, and he said unto them, Thus hath said the [true] God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the Lord? ye cannot prosper so; because [as] ye have forsaken the Lord, he hath also 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 the Lord.
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 did not remember the kindness which Yehoyada' his father had shown to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The Lord will see [this], and require [my blood].
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 expiration of the year, that the army of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and all their spoil they sent off unto the king of 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 Indeed with a small company of men did the army of Syria come; but the Lord delivered into their hand an army exceedingly numerous; because they had forsaken the Lord the God of their fathers. And on Joash they executed punishment.
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 these were gone away from him—for they left him [suffering] with great diseases—his own servants conspired against him because of the blood of the sons of Yehoyada' the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not 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 those that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shim'ath the 'Ammonitess, and Yehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
Anih aka taeng rhoek tah Ammoni Shimeath capa Zabad, Moab Shimrith capa Jehozabad.
27 Now concerning his sons, and the great prophecy concerning him, and the founding of the house of God, behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amazyahu his son became king 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.
