2 Chronicles 24
1 Joash was seven years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled in Jerusalem for 40 years. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba [city].
Youa: sie da lalelegele, ea ode fesu gidigili, Yuda hina bagade hamoi. E da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade ganodini esala, ode 40 agoanega Yuda fi ouligilalu. Ea ame da Biasiba moilai uda galu, ea dio amo Sibia.
2 Joash did what pleased Yahweh as long as Jehoiada was [the Supreme] Priest.
Yihoida ea esalusu huluane amo ganodini, Youa: sie da Hina Gode hahawane ba: ma: ne hou hamonanusu. Bai gobele salasu dunu Yihoida da hou noga: idafa ema olelei.
3 Jehoiada chose two women to be Joash’s wives. And they bore Joash sons and daughters.
Yihoiada da hina bagade Youa: sie idua aduna ilegei. Elama dunu manolali amola uda manolali da lalelegei.
4 Some years later, Joash decided that the temple should be repaired.
Amogalu fa: no, Youa: sie da Debolo Diasu dodoa: musa: dawa: i.
5 He summoned the priests and other descendants of Levi and said to them, “Go to the towns in Judah and collect from the people the tax money that they are required to pay each year, and use that money to pay for repairing the temple. Do it immediately.” But the descendants of Levi did not do it immediately.
Youa: sie da gobele salasu dunu amola Lifai fi dunu ili ema misa: ne sia: ne, ilia da Yuda moilai huluane amoga asili, muni amo Debolo Diasu dodoa: musa: lama: ne sia: i. E da ilima hedolo masa: ne sia: i. Be ilia hedolo hame asi.
6 So the king summoned Jehoiada and said to him, “Why have you not required the descendants of Levi to bring to Jerusalem from various places in Judah the annual/yearly tax that Moses said that the people of Judah must pay, for taking care of the Sacred Tent?”
Amaiba: le, Youa: sie da ilia ouligisu dunu Yihoida ema misa: ne sia: ne, amola ema amane adole ba: i, “Na da Lifai dunuma, ilia da su lasu (da: gisi) amo Hina Gode ea hawa: hamosu dunu Mousese da Hina Gode Ea Abula Diasu ouligima: ne ilegei, amo Yuda amola Yelusaleme fima lama: ne masa: ne sia: i. Ilia hame lala asiba: le, di da abuliba: le amo hou hame ouligibala: ?”
7 [The temple needed to be repaired] because the sons of that wicked woman Athaliah had entered into the temple [and had wrecked some of the things], and had also used some of the sacred items that were in it for [the worship of] Baal.
(Wadela: idafa uda A: dalaia ea fa: no bobogesu dunu da Debolo Diasu wadela: lesi. Ilia da hadigi liligi mogili amo ogogosu ‘gode’ Ba: ilema nodone sia: ne gadomusa: lai.)
8 So, obeying what the king commanded, the descendants of Levi made a chest and placed it outside the temple, at one of the entrances.
Amalalu, Yihoida da hamoma: ne sia: beba: le, Lifai fi dunu da gagili hamone, Debolo Diasu logo holeiga ligisi.
9 Then the king sent letters everywhere in Judah, requesting everyone to bring their tax money to the temple, like Moses had required the Israeli people to do [when they were] in the desert.
Ilia Yelusaleme amola Yuda fi dunu huluanema, ilia da muni amo da Gode Ea hawa: hamosu dunu Mousese da bisili hafoga: i sogega lidili amola lama: ne ilegei, amo defele Hina Godema iamisa: ne sia: si.
10 All the officials and the other people [agreed, and they] brought their contributions gladly. They put the money into the chest until it was full.
Dunu amola ilia ouligisu dunu da amo hou hahawane ba: i. Ilia da ilia su (‘da: gisi’) muni gaguli misini, gagili nabalesi.
11 Whenever the descendants of Levi brought the chest to the king’s officials, and they saw that there was a lot of money in it, the king’s secretary and the assistant to the [Supreme] Priest would take all the money from the chest, and then put the chest back in its place. They did this frequently, and they collected a huge amount of money.
Eso huluane, Lifai dunu da amo gagili ouligisu dunuma gaguli asi. Ilia da amo gagili ganodini muni bagade ba: loba, hina bagade ea sia: dedesu dunu amola Gobele Salasu Hina dunu ea ilegei dunu, ela da misini, muni lidilalu, gagili ea sogebiga bu ligisisu. Amaiba: le, ilia da muni bagade gagadoi.
12 The king and Jehoiada gave the money to the men who were supervising the work of repairing the temple. Those men hired stoneworkers and carpenters to repair the temple. They also hired men who worked with iron and bronze to repair things in the temple [that were broken].
Amalalu, hina bagade amola Yihoiada da amo muni Debolo Diasu hawa: hamosu ouligisu dunu ilima iasu. Amo dunu ilia da diasu gagusu dunu, gele goudasu dunu amola gele dadamusu dunu, ilima iasu. Amola ilia da ifa gaga: i, amola gele gadelale sa: i, amo bu hahamoma: ne, amola eno hawa: hamoma: ne, amo dabe iasu.
13 The men who did the repair work worked hard, and the work of repairing the temple progressed. They rebuilt the temple so that it was like it was originally, and they even made it stronger.
Ilia huluane gasa fili, hawa: hamone, Debolo Diasu da bu hahamoi dagoi ba: i. Debolo Diasu da ea musa: gasa bagade gagui hou bu ba: i.
14 When they had finished the repair work, they brought to the king and to Jehoiada the money that they had not used for the repairs. That money was used to make things to use for offering the sacrifices that were completely burned [on the altar], and to make bowls and other gold and silver things for the temple. As long as Joash lived, the people continually brought to the temple sacrifices that were to be completely burned on the altar.
Debolo Diasu dodoa: su da hamoi dagoloba, muni dialu ilia da hina bagade amola Yihoiada elama i. Amo muniga ela da silifa ofodo, dalabede, gamali gesosu liligi, amola eno silifa o gouli liligi huluane, amo hahamomusa: ilegei. Yihoiada da esaloba, ilia da Debolo Diasuga gobele salasu hou gebewane hamonanu.
15 Jehoiada lived to become very old. He died when he was 130 years old.
E da da: idafa hamone, ode 130 agoane gidigiloba, e da bogoi.
16 He was buried where the kings had been buried, in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. [He was buried there] because of the good things that he had done in Judah for God and for God’s temple.
E da Isala: ili dunu fi amola Debolo Diasu hou noga: le fidi amola Gode Ea hawa: hamosu noga: le hamoi. Amo dawa: le, ilia da ea da: i hodo amo hina bagade gele gelabo Da: ibidi Moilai bai bagadega, amo ganodini sali.
17 After Jehoiada died, the leaders of Judah went to Joash, bowed in front of him, and persuaded him to do what they wanted.
Be Yihoiada da bogoloba, amogalu Yuda ouligisu dunu da Youa: sie ilia fada: i sia: fa: no bobogemusa: fuligala: i.
18 So they and the other people stopped worshiping at the temple, and they started worshiping the poles dedicated to [the goddess] Asherah and other idols. Because of their doing those sinful things, God was very angry with the people of Jerusalem and [with the people in other places in] Judah.
Amaiba: le, Yuda dunu da Debolo Diasu ganodini, ilia aowalalia Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu hou fisiagale, ogogosu loboga hamoi ‘gode’ amola wadela: i uda ‘gode’ Asila agoai loboga hamoi liligi ilima muni nodone sia: ne gadosu hou hamosu. Ilia da amo wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, Hina Gode Ea ougi hou da Yuda amola Yelusaleme fi ilima doaga: i.
19 Although Yahweh sent prophets to persuade them to return to him, and although the prophets told them about the evil things that they had done, the people would not pay attention.
Hina Gode da ilima balofede dunu, ili Ema sinidigima: ne sisasu ima: ne asunasi. Be ilia da amo sisasu hame nabi.
20 Then God’s Spirit came upon Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the [Supreme] Priest. He stood up front of the people and said, “This is what God says: ‘Why are you disobeying what I, Yahweh, have commanded? You have abandoned me, so I will abandon you.’”
Amalalu, Hina Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa da Segalaia (gobele salasu dunu Yihoiada egefe) amoga aligila sa: i. E da dunu huluane ilia midadi lelu, amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, ‘Dilia abuliba: le Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i hame naba? Dilia da didili hame hamomu. Dilia da Hina Gode fisiagaiba: le, E amola da dili fisiagai dagoi.’”
21 But the people planned to kill Zechariah. And the king joined them in doing it. The people killed Zechariah by throwing stones at him in the temple courtyard.
Hina bagade Youa: sie da eno dunu gilisili, Segalaia fane legemusa: ilegei. Hina bagade da sia: beba: le, Yuda fi dunu da Hina Gode Ea Debolo Diasu gagoi ganodini, Segalaia igiga gala: le, medole legei dagoi.
22 King Joash had forgotten about how Zechariah’s father Jehoiada had been kind to him. That’s why he gave orders for the people to kill Jehoiada’s son Zechariah, who said as he was dying, “I hope that Yahweh will see [what you are doing to me] and punish [you for doing it].”
Youa: sie da Segalaia eda Yihoiada ema mae fisili noga: le hawa: hamoi amo gogolei. Amola ea sia: beba: le, ilia Segalaia medole legei. Segalaia da bogolaloba, e amane wele sia: i, “Hina Gode da dia hamobe ba: ma: mu amola dima se iasu imunu da defea!”
23 Near the end of that year (OR, early in the following year), the army of Syria marched to attack [the army of] Joash. They invaded Judah and attacked Jerusalem and killed all the leaders of the people. They [seized many valuable things and] sent them to their king in Damascus, [their capital city.]
Amo ode dogoa, Silia dadi gagui wa: i da Yuda amola Yelusaleme fi doagala: i. Ilia da ouligisu dunu huluane medole legei amola liligi bagohamedafa susuguli, Dama: sagase moilai bai bagadega gaguli asi.
24 The army of Syria [that came to Judah] was very small, but Yahweh allowed them to defeat the large army of Judah, because he was punishing Joash and the other people of Judah for having abandoned him, the God whom their ancestors worshiped.
Silia dadi gagui wa: i da fonobahadi fawane, be Hina Gode da ili fidibiba: le, ilia da Yuda fi dadi gagui wa: i bagadedafa amo hasali dagoi. Bai Yuda fi dunu da ilia aowalalia Hina Gode fisiagai dagoi. Hina bagade Youa: sie da agoane se iasu lai.
25 Before the battle ended, Joash was severely wounded. Then his officials decided to kill him for murdering Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the [Supreme] Priest. They killed him while he was in his bed. He was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, but they did not bury him in the place where the other kings had been buried.
E da bagade fafa: ginisi ba: i. Amola ha lai dunu da ilia sogega bu ahoanoba, eagene ouligisu dunu aduna da ilegele, ea debea da: iya esala, e medole legei. Ela da gobele salasu dunu Yihoiada ea mano fasu dabe ima: ne e fane legei. Ilia da ea da: i hodo amo Da: ibidi Moilai bai bagadega ulidogone sali. Be hina bagade ilia bogoi gele gelabo ganodini hame sali.
26 Those who conspired to kill him were Zabad the son of Shimeath, who was a woman from the Ammon [people-group], and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith, who was a woman from the Moab [people-group].
(Dunu amo da ilegele e medole legei, elea dio da Sa: iba: de amola Yihosaba: de. Sa: iba: de da A: mone fi uda ea dio amo Simia: de amo egefe galu, amola Yihosaba: de da Moua: be fi uda ea dio amo Similidi amo egefe galu.)
27 An account of the things that were done by the sons of Joash and the many prophecies about Joash and what he did to repair the temple are written in the scroll called ‘the History of the Kings [of Judah and Israel]’. Then after Joash died, Amaziah his son became the king.
Youa: sie egefelalia hou, amola balofede dunu ema gagabosu ba: la: lusu, amola ea Debolo Diasu dodoa: su hou, amo huluane da “Hina bagade buga Dedei ea Bai Olelesu Meloa” amo ganodini dedene legei. Youa: sie egefe A: masaia da e bagia Yuda hina bagade hamoi.
