1 In year seven of Jehu he became king Jehoash and forty year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his [was] Zibiah from 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 he did Jehoash the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh all days his which he instructed him Jehoiada the priest.
Joash mere ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị ụbọchị niile nke Jehoiada onye nchụaja ziri ya ihe.
3 Only the high places not they were removed still the people [were] sacrificing and [were] making smoke at the high 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 he said Jehoash to the priests all [the] money of the holy gifts which it will be brought [the] house of Yahweh money passing along everyone [the] money of persons of valuation his all [the] money which it will come up on [the] heart of a person to bring [the] house of Yahweh.
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 them take themselves the priests each from with acquaintance his and they they will repair [the] damage of the house to every where it will be found there damage.
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 And it was in year twenty and three year of the king Jehoash not they had repaired the priests [the] damage of the house.
Ma nʼafọ nke iri abụọ na atọ nke ọchịchị eze Joash, ọ chọpụtara na ndị nchụaja ahụ emezibeghị ihe mebiri nʼụlọnsọ.
7 And he summoned the king Jehoash Jehoiada the priest and the priests and he said to them why? [are] not you repairing [the] damage of the house and now may not you take money from with acquaintances your for for [the] damage of the house you will give it.
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 And they agreed the priests to not to take money from with the people and to not to repair [the] damage of the house.
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 And he took Jehoiada the priest a chest one and he bored a hole in lid its and he put it beside the altar (from [the] right [side] *Q(K)*) when comes anyone [the] house of Yahweh and they put there the priests [who] kept of the threshold all the money which was brought [the] house of Yahweh.
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 it was when saw they that much the money [was] in the chest and he came up [the] scribe of the king and the priest great and they tied up and they counted the money which was found [the] house of Yahweh.
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 put the money weighed out on ([the] hands of *Q(K)*) [the] doers of the work (who were appointed *Q(K)*) [the] house of Yahweh and they brought out it to [the] craftsmen of wood and to the builders who were working on [the] house of Yahweh.
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 to [the] cutters of stone and to acquire wood and stones of hewing to repair [the] damage of [the] house of Yahweh and for all that it went out on the house to repair [it].
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 Only not it was made [the] house of Yahweh basins of silver snuffers bowls trumpets any article of gold and article of silver from the money which was brought [the] house of Yahweh.
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 For to [the] doers of the work they gave it and they repaired with it [the] house of Yahweh.
Ọ bụ ndị na-eje ozi, ndị ji ya rụzie ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị ka e nyere ya.
15 And not they settled accounts with the men whom they put the money on hand their to give to [the] doers of the work for in faithfulness they [were] working.
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.

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 he went up Hazael [the] king of Aram and he fought on Gath and he captured it and he set Hazael face his to go up on Jerusalem.
Nʼoge ahụ, Hazael eze Aram, gara buso Gat agha, lụgbuo ya, dọta ya nʼagha. Emesịa, o chere ihu nʼụzọ Jerusalem imegide ya.
18 And he took Jehoash [the] king of Judah all the holy things which they had consecrated Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah ancestors his [the] kings of Judah and own holy things his and all the gold which was found in [the] treasuries of [the] house of Yahweh and [the] house of the king and he sent [them] to Hazael [the] king of Aram and he went up from on Jerusalem.

Akụkọ gbasara ọchịchị eze Joash, na ihe niile o mere, e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe ndị eze Juda niile mere nʼoge ha.
