2 Chronicles 24
1 Joash [is] a son of seven years in his reigning, and he has reigned forty years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Zibiah of Beer-Sheba.
E whitu nga tau o Ioaha i a ia i kingi ai; a e wha tekau nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea, ko Tipia, no Peerehepa.
2 And Joash does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
Na he tika nga mahi a Ioaha ki te titiro a Ihowa i nga ra katoa o te tohunga, o Iehoiara.
3 And Jehoiada takes two wives for him, and he begets sons and daughters.
A i tangohia e Iehoiara he wahine mana, tokorua; a ka whanau ana tama, ana tamahine.
4 And it comes to pass after this, it has been with the heart of Joash to renew the house of YHWH,
I muri i tenei ka whai ngakau a Ioaha ki te whakahou i te whare o Ihowa.
5 and he gathers the priests and the Levites, and says to them, “Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather money from all Israel to strengthen the house of your God sufficiently year by year, and you, hurry to the matter”; and the Levites have not hurried.
A ka oti nga tohunga me nga Riwaiti te huihui e ia, ka mea ia ki a ratou, Haere ki nga pa o Hura, ki te kohikohi moni mai i a Iharaira katoa hei whakahou i te whare o to koutou Atua, i tenei tau, i tenei tau; ma koutou hoki e whakahohoro taua mah i. Heoi kihai i hohoro i nga Riwaiti.
6 And the king calls for Jehoiada the head and says to him, “Why have you not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tribute of Moses, servant of YHWH, and of the assembly of Israel, for the Tent of the Testimony?
Na ka karanga te kingi ki a Iehoiara, ko te upoko hoki ia, a ka mea ki a ia, He aha koe te mea ai ki nga Riwaiti kia mauria mai i a Hura, i Hiruharama, te mea i kohikohia, ta Mohi pononga a Ihowa me ta te whakaminenga o Iharaira mo te tapenakara o te whakaaturanga?
7 For sons of Athaliah, the wicked one, have broken up the house of God, and also, they have prepared all the holy things of the house of YHWH for Ba‘alim.”
Na nga tama hoki a taua wahine kino a Ataria i wahi te whare o te Atua; a ko nga mea tapu katoa o te whare o Ihowa, meinga ana e ratou mo nga Paara.
8 And the king commands, and they make one chest, and put it at the gate of the house of YHWH outside,
Heoi ka korero te kingi, a ka hanga he pouaka e ratou, whakaturia ana ki waho, ki te kuwaha o te whare o Ihowa.
9 and give an intimation in Judah and in Jerusalem to bring to YHWH the tribute of Moses, servant of God, [laid] on Israel in the wilderness.
Na, ka pa te karanga puta noa i a Hura, i Hiruharama, kia kawea mai ki a Ihowa te kohikohi i whakaritea e Mohi, e ta te Atua pononga, ki a Iharaira i te koraha.
10 And all the heads, and all the people rejoice, and they bring in, and cast into the chest, to completion.
Na koa tonu nga rangatira katoa me te iwi katoa, a kawea ana mai e ratou, maka ana ki roto ki te pouaka a rite noa.
11 And it comes to pass, at the time one brings in the chest for the inspection of the king by the hand of the Levites, and at their seeing that the money [is] abundant, that a scribe of the king has come in, and an officer of the head-priest, and they empty the chest, and take it up and turn it back to its place; thus they have done day by day, and gather money in abundance.
A, i nga wa e kawea mai ai e nga Riwaiti te pouaka ki te whare takoha o te kingi, a ka kitea kua rahi te moni, ka haere mai te kaituhituhi a te kingi raua ko te tangata a te tino tohunga, ka ringihia e raua nga mea i roto i te pouaka, na ka tang o raua, ka whakahoki ano ki tona wahi. Pena tonu ratou i ia ra, i ia ra, a nui atu te moni i kohikohia.
12 And the king and Jehoiada give it to the doers of the work of the service of the house of YHWH, and they are hiring hewers and craftsmen to renew the house of YHWH, and also—to craftsmen in iron and bronze to strengthen the house of YHWH.
A hoatu ana e te kingi raua ko Iehoiara ki nga tangata i te mahi o nga mea mo te whare o Ihowa; a na ratou i utu nga kaimahi kohatu, nga kamura, hei whakahou i te whare o Ihowa, nga kaimahi hoki i te rino, i te parahi, hei whakaora mo te whare o Ihowa.
13 And those doing the business work, and there goes up lengthening to the work by their hand, and they establish the house of God by its proper measure, and strengthen it.
Heoi ka mahi nga kaimahi, a ka oti te mahi i a ratou; na kua meinga e ratou kia rite ki to mua ahua te tu o te whare o te Atua, kia kaha hoki.
14 And at their completing [it], they have brought in the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, and they make [with] it vessels for the house of YHWH, vessels of serving, and of offering up, and spoons, even vessels of gold and silver; and they are causing burnt-offerings to ascend in the house of YHWH continually, all the days of Jehoiada.
A, ka oti i a ratou, ka kawea te toenga o te moni ki te aroaro o te kingi raua ko Iehoiara, a ka waiho hei hanga i etahi oko mo te whare o Ihowa, i nga oko minita, i nga mea mo nga patunga tapu, i nga koko, i nga oko koura, hiriwa; a he whakaeke tonu ta ratou i te tahunga tinana i te whare o Ihowa i nga ra katoa o Iehoiara.
15 And Jehoiada is aged and satisfied with days, and dies—a son of one hundred and thirty years in his death,
Otiia kua koroheketia a Iehoiara, kua maha ona ra, a ka mate: kotahi rau e toru tekau ona tau i tona matenga.
16 and they bury him in the City of David with the kings, for he has done good in Israel, and with God and his house.
A tanumia ana ia ki te pa o Rawiri ki te taha o nga kingi; he pai hoki no tana mahi ki a Iharaira, ki te Atua hoki, a ki tona whare.
17 And after the death of Jehoiada, heads of Judah have come in, and bow themselves to the king; then the king has listened to them,
Na i muri i te matenga o Iehoiara ka haere mai nga rangatira o Hura, a ka piko ki te kingi. Na rongo tonu te kingi ki a ratou.
18 and they forsake the house of YHWH, God of their fathers, and serve the Asherim and the idols, and there is wrath on Judah and Jerusalem for this guilt of theirs.
Na whakarerea ake e ratou te whare o Ihowa, o te Atua o o ratou matua, mahi ana ratou ki nga Aherimi, ki nga whakapakoko. Na kua pa he riri ki a Hura, ki Hiruharama, mo tenei he o ratou.
19 And He sends among them prophets, to bring them back to YHWH, and they testify against them, and they have not given ear;
Heoi unga ana e ia nga poropiti ki a ratou hei whakahoki i a ratou ki a Ihowa, a whakawa ana ratou i a ratou: otiia kihai i rongo.
20 and the Spirit of God has clothed Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest, and he stands above the people, and says to them, “Thus said God: Why are you transgressing the commands of YHWH, and do not prosper? Because you have forsaken YHWH, He forsakes you.”
Na kua tau te wairua o te Atua ki te tohunga, ki a Hakaraia tama a Iehoiara; a ka tu ia ki runga ake i te iwi, ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Atua, he aha koutou ka takahi ai i nga whakahau a Ihowa? ma konei hoki ka kore ai koutou e ka ke. Kua whakarerea nei e koutou a Ihowa na kua whakarerea hoki koutou e ia.
21 And they conspire against him, and stone him [with] stone by the command of the king, in the court of the house of YHWH,
Na ka whakatupuria e ratou he he mona, a akina ia ki te kohatu, na te kingi i whakahau, ki te marae o te whare o Ihowa.
22 and Joash the king has not remembered the kindness that his father Jehoiada did with him, and slays his son, and in his death he said, “YHWH sees and requires.”
Heoi kihai a Kingi Ioaha i mahara ki te aroha i whakaputaina e tona papa, e Iehoiara, ki a ia: heoi patua ana e ia tana tama. A i tona matenga, ka mea ia, Ma Ihowa e titiro, e rapu utu.
23 And it comes to pass, at the turn of the year, the force of Aram has come up against him, and they come to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroy all the heads of the people from the people, and they have sent all their spoil to the king of Damascus,
Na taka rawa ake te tau, ka whakaekea ia e te taua o Hiria; a haere ana mai ratou ki a Hura, ki Hiruharama, whakangaromia ana e ratou nga rangatira katoa o te iwi i roto i te iwi, tukua ana e ratou o ratou taonga katoa kia kawea ki te kingi o Ra mahiku.
24 for with few men the force of Aram has come in, and YHWH has given into their hand a mighty force for multitude, because they have forsaken YHWH, God of their fathers; and they have executed judgments with Joash.
He tokoiti hoki nga tangata o te taua o nga Hiriani i haere mai nei; a hoatu ana e Ihowa te ope nui rawa ki o ratou ringa, mo ratou i whakarere i a Ihowa, i te Atua o o ratou matua. Heoi tutuki ana i a ratou he whakawa mo Ioaha.
25 And in their going from him—for they left him with many diseases—his servants themselves have conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slay him on his bed, and he dies; and they bury him in the City of David, and have not buried him in the graves of the kings.
A, no to ratou haerenga atu i a ia, i mahue iho hoki ia i a ratou he nui ona mate, ka whakatupuria e ana tangata he he mona, mo nga toto o nga tama a Iehoiara tohunga, a patua ana ia e ratou, ki runga ki tona moenga, a mate iho: na tanumia ana i a e ratou ki te pa o Rawiri, otiia kahore ki nga tanumanga o nga kingi.
26 And these [are] those conspiring against him: Zabad son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
Na ko nga tangata nana i whakatupu te he mona; ko Tapara, tama a tetahi wahine o Amona, a Himeata, ko Iehotapara, tama a tetahi wahine o Moapa, a Timiriti.
27 As for his sons, and the greatness of the burden on him, and the foundation of the house of God, behold, they are written on the commentary of the scroll of the Kings; and his son Amaziah reigns in his stead.
Na, ko ana tama, me te nui o nga taimaha i utaina ki runga ki a ia, me te hanganga i te whare o te Atua, nana, kei te tuhituhi ena i roto i nga korero o te pukapuka o nga kingi; a ko tana tama, ko Amatia, te kingi i muri i a ia.
