2 Kings 12

1 In the seventh year of Jehu began Jehoash to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.

Naʻe kamata pule ʻa Soasa ʻi hono fitu ʻoe taʻu ʻo Sehu; pea naʻe pule ia ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Sipia mei Peasipa.

2 Jehoash did that which was right in the eyes of YHWH all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.

Pea naʻe fai totonu ʻa Soasa ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē naʻe akonakiʻi ai ia ʻe Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeiki.

3 However the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

Ka naʻe ʻikai ʻave ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga: naʻe kei fai feilaulau mo e tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻe he kakai ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga.

4 Jehoash said to the priests, "All the money of the holy things that is brought into the house of YHWH, in current money, the money of the persons for whom each man is rated, and all the money that it comes into any man's heart to bring into the house of YHWH,

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Soasa ki he kau taulaʻeiki, “Ko e paʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi meʻa tapu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻae paʻanga ʻoe kakai kotoa pē ʻoku lau, ʻae paʻanga ʻoku fakatatau ki ai ʻae tangata taki taha, pea mo e paʻanga ʻoku loto lelei ki ai ʻae tangata ke ne ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihova,

5 let the priests take it to them, every man from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the breaches of the house, wherever any breach shall be found."

Tuku ke maʻu ia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki, ko e taki taha mei hono kāinga: pea tuku ke nau toe langa ʻae ngaahi potu maumau ʻoe fale, ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻilo ai ha maumau.”

6 But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.

Ka ko eni, ʻi hono uofulu ma tolu ʻoe taʻu ʻoe tuʻi ko Soasa naʻe teʻeki ke toe langa ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae ngaahi potu maumau ʻoe fale.

7 Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said to them, "Why do you not repair the breaches of the house? Now therefore take no more money from your treasurers, but deliver it for the breaches of the house."

Pea naʻe toki ui ʻe Soasa ko e tuʻi kia Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeiki, pea mo e kau taulaʻeiki kehe, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou toe langa ʻae ngaahi potu maumau ʻoe fale? Ko ia foki ke ʻoua naʻa mou kei maʻu ha paʻanga mei homou kāinga, ka mou tuku ia ke toe langa ʻae ngaahi potu maumau ʻoe fale.”

8 The priests consented that they should take no more money from the people, neither repair the breaches of the house.

Pea naʻe loto ki ai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ke ʻoua naʻa nau kei maʻu ha paʻanga mei he kakai, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau loto ke toe langa ʻae ngaahi potu maumau ʻoe fale.

9 But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of YHWH: and the priests who kept the threshold put in it all the money that was brought into the house of YHWH.

Ka naʻe ʻave ha ngeʻesi puha ʻe Sihoiata, ko e taulaʻeiki mo ne vili ha ava ʻi hono tāpuni, pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ia ʻi he veʻe feilaulauʻanga, ki he potu fakatoʻomataʻu ʻi heʻene hū ange ha tokotaha ki he fale ʻo Sihova: pea naʻe ʻai ki ai ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki naʻe tauhi ʻae matapā, ʻae paʻanga kotoa pē naʻe ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihova.

10 It was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags and counted the money that was found in the house of YHWH.

Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi heʻenau mamata kuo lahi ʻae paʻanga ʻi he puha, naʻe haʻu ʻae tangata tohi ʻae tuʻi mo e taulaʻeiki lahi, pea naʻa na ʻai ia ki he ngaahi kato, mo lau hake ʻae paʻanga ʻaia naʻe ʻilo ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.

11 They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the house of YHWH: and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders, who worked on the house of YHWH,

Pea naʻa nau foaki ʻae paʻanga, ka kuo ʻosi hono lau, ki he nima ʻokinautolu naʻe fai ʻae ngāue, ʻakinautolu naʻe pule ki he fale ʻo Sihova: pea naʻa nau totongi ʻaki ia ki he kau tufunga mo e kau langa fale ʻaia naʻe ngāue ki he fale ʻo Sihova,

12 and to the masons and the stone cutters, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the breaches of the house of YHWH, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.

Pea ki he kau helehele maka mo e kau tā maka, pea ke fakatauʻaki ʻae ʻakau mo e ngaahi maka kuo tā ke toe langaʻaki ʻae ngaahi potu maumau ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, pea ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻi he fakafoʻou ʻoe fale.

13 But there were not made for the house of YHWH cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of YHWH;

Ka naʻe ʻikai ngaohi maʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻae ngaahi ipu siliva, mo e helekosi maama, mo e ngaahi ipu luoluo, mo e ngaahi meʻalea, pe ha ngaahi teunga koula, pe ha ngaahi teunga siliva, mei he paʻanga naʻe ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihova:

14 for they gave that to those who did the work, and repaired therewith the house of YHWH.

Ka naʻa nau foaki ia ki he kau ngāue, mo nau toe langa ʻaki ia ʻae fale ʻo Sihova.

15 Moreover they did not demand an accounting from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work; for they dealt faithfully.

Pea naʻe ʻikai foki ke nau ʻekeʻi ʻae kau tangata ʻakinautolu naʻe tuku ki honau nima ʻae paʻanga ke totongiʻaki ʻae kau ngāue, he naʻa nau fai angatonu pe.

16 The money for the trespass offerings, and the money for the sin offerings, was not brought into the house of YHWH: it was the priests'.

Naʻe ʻikai ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihova ʻae paʻanga ʻi he fai hala, mo e paʻanga ʻoe angahala: he naʻe ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki ia.

17 Then Hazael king of Aram went up, and fought against Gath, and took it; and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.

Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Hasaeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia, ke fai ʻae tau ki Kati, pea naʻa ne lavaʻi ia: pea naʻe fakahanga hono mata ʻe Hasaeli ke ʻalu hake ki Selūsalema.

18 Jehoash king of Judah took all the holy things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own holy things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of YHWH, and of the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Aram: and he went away from Jerusalem.

Pea naʻe toʻo mai ʻe Soasa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ʻae ngaahi meʻa tapu kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe fakatapui ʻe Sihosafate, mo Siholami, pea mo ʻAhasia, ko ʻene ngaahi tamai, ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea mo ʻene ngaahi meʻa tapu ʻaʻana, pea mo e koula kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻi he ngaahi tukunga koloa ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, pea ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi, mo ne ʻave ia kia Hasaeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia: pea naʻa ne foki atu mei Selūsalema.

19 Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Soasi, pea mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?

20 His servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and struck Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla.

Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, mo nau teuteu ʻae lapa, pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻa Soasi ʻi he fale ʻo Milo, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he hala ʻoku hifo ki Silia.

21 For Jozabad the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the City of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his place.

He naʻe taaʻi ia ʻe Sosaka ko e foha ʻo Simiati, mo Sihosapati ko e foha ʻa Someli, ko ʻene ongo tamaioʻeiki, pea naʻa ne mate; pea naʻa nau tanu ia fakataha mo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe ʻAmasia ko hono foha.
