2 Kings 12
1 When Jehu had been ruling Israel for almost seven years, Joash became the king of Judah. He ruled in Jerusalem for 40 years. His mother was Zibiah, from Beersheba [city].
Isala: ili hina bagade Yihiu da Isala: ili soge ode fesuale ouligilalu, Youa: se da muni Yuda hina bagade hamoi. E da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade ganodini esala, ode 40agoanega Yuda fi ouligilalu. Ea ame da Biasiba moilai uda galu, ea dio amo Sibia.
2 All his life, he did what pleased Yahweh, because Jehoiada the priest instructed/taught him.
Youa: se ea esalusu huluane amoga, Hina Gode hahawane ba: ma: ne hou hamonanusu. Bai gobele salasu dunu Yihoida da hou noga: idafa ema olelei.
3 But the places where the people worshiped [Yahweh] on the tops of hills were not destroyed, and they continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense at those places, [instead of at the place that God had chosen for them in Jerusalem].
Be e da Gode Ea hou hame lalegagui dunu ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ma nodone sia: ne gadosu sogebi, amo hame wadela: lesi, amola amogawi Yuda fi dunu mogili da ohe amola gabusiga: manoma gobele sasalilalu.
4 Joash said to the priests, “You must take all the money which the people contribute, both the money they are required to give and the money that they themselves decide to give, as sacred offerings to buy things for the temple.
Youa: se da gobele salasu dunu ili ema misa: ne sia: ne, ilia da muni amo da Debolo diasuga gobele salimusa: lai, amola hahawane udigili iasu muni, amo huluane momagele lelegema: ne sia: i.
5 Each priest must take the money from people who know him (OR, from one of the treasurers), and he must use that money to repair the temple whenever he sees that there is something that needs to be repaired.”
Gobele salasu dunu afae afae ilia da muni ouligisu dunu ilia muni ilima i amoga lale, ilia da Debolo liligi wadela: lesi amo ba: sea, bu hahamoma: ne, Youa: se ea sia: i.
6 But after Joash had been ruling for almost twenty-three years, the priests still had not repaired anything in the temple.
Be Youa: se ea ouligibi ode23 agoane da doaga: loba, gobele salasu dunu ilia da bu hame hahamobeba: le, Debolo Diasu da hame hahamoi dialebe ba: i.
7 So Joash summoned Jehoiada and the other priests and said to them, “(Why are you not repairing things in the temple?/You should have been repairing things in the temple!) [RHQ] From now on, you must not keep the money that you receive from people who know you (OR, the treasurers). You must give it to the people who will be repairing things in the temple!”
Amaiba: le, Youa: se da Yihoida amola gobele salasu dunu huluane ema misa: ne sia: ne, amola ilima amane adole ba: i, “Dilia da abuliba: le Debolo Diasu bu hame hahamosala: ? Wali weganini, dilia muni lai amo mae modalegema! Dilia amo muni noga: le ouligima: ne, ouligisu dunuma ima.”
8 The priests agreed to do that, and they also agreed that they themselves would not do the repair work.
Gobele salasu dunu ilia da amane hamoma: ne sia: i, amola ilila: da Debolo Diasu bu hame hahamomu sia: i.
9 Then Jehoiada took a chest and bored a hole in the lid. He placed it alongside the altar [for burning incense/sacrifices] that was on the right as anyone enters the temple. The priests who guarded the entrance to the temple put in the box the money that was brought to the temple.
Amalalu, Yihoida da gagili lale, ga: lu da: iya gelabo doasili, gagili oloda bega: ligisi. Amo gagili da Debolo Diasu ea logo holei heda: su lobodafadini dialebe ba: i. Debolo Diasu logo holeiga gobele salasu hawa: hamosu dunu da, dunu amo da nodone sia: ne gadomusa: misi, ilia muni lale, gagili ganodini salasu.
10 Whenever they saw that there was a lot of money in the chest, the king’s secretary and the Supreme Priest would come and count the money. Then they would put it in bags and tie the bags shut.
Ilia da amo gagili ganodini muni bagade ba: loba, hina bagade ea sia: dedesu dunu amola Gobele Salasu Hina dunu ela da misini, silifa fage lai amo idili, amola ea dioi defei ba: su.
11 Then, after they weighed it, they would give the money to the men who supervised the work in the temple. Then the supervisors would use that money to pay the carpenters and builders who did the repair work in the temple,
12 and the masons and the stone cutters. Also with some of that money they bought timber and stones that had been cut to be used in the repair work, and to pay all the other expenses for the repair work.
Ilia da amo muni ea idi defele dedene, ilia 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 gadelalesa: i, amo bu hahamoma: ne, amola eno hawa: hamoma: ne, amo dabe iasu.
13 But they did not use any of that money [to pay men] to make silver cups or wick trimmers or bowls or trumpets or any other items made of silver or gold to be used in the temple.
Be amo muniga ilia da silifa faigelei, ofodo, dalabede, gamali gesosu liligi, amola eno silifa o gouli liligi huluane, amo hahamobe dunu iligili muni hame iasu.
14 All that money was given to the men who were doing the work of repairing the temple.
Muni huluanedafa da Debolo Diasu wadela: i buga: le hawa: hamosu dunu, iligili bidi imunusa: amola amo gagumu liligi fawane amo muniga lidisu.
15 The men who supervised the work always did things honestly, so the king’s secretary and the Supreme Priest never required that the supervisors report what they had spent the money for.
Amo hawa: hamosu dunu ilia da moloidafa dunu. Amaiba: le, ilia da amo muni ea asi hou dedene legele hogomu hamedei ba: i.
16 But the money that people gave to pay for the wrong things that they had done and the money they gave to purify themselves because of the sins that they had committed was not put in the chest. That money belonged to the priests.
Be muni amo Yuda dunu da wadela: i hou dabe gobele salasu iasu hamoma: ne i, amo da gagili ganodini hame salasu. Bai amo muni da gobele salasu dunu ilia: galu.
17 At that time, Hazael, the king of Syria, went [with his army] and attacked Gath [city] and conquered it. Then he decided that they would attack Jerusalem.
Amogalu, Silia hina bagade Ha: sa: iele da Ga: de moilai bai bagade doagala: le, hasali. Amalu, e da Yelusaleme doagala: musa: ilegei.
18 So Joash, the king of Judah, took all the money that the previous kings, Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, had dedicated to Yahweh. He added some of his own money, and all the gold that was in the rooms in the temple where valuable things were kept/stored, and the gold in his palace, and sent it all to King Hazael, [to (appease him/persuade him to not attack Jerusalem)]. So King Hazael [took his army] away from Jerusalem.
Yuda hina bagade Youa: se da iasu liligi huluane amo e bisili hina bagade Yihosiafa: de amola Yihoula: me amola A: ihasaia ilia Hina Godema imunusa: ilegei, amola hisu iasu, amola gouli huluane Debolo Diasu amola hina bagade diasu ganodini dialu, amo huluane lale, hina bagade Ha: sa: iele ema iasi. Amalalu, Ha: sa: iele da ea dadi gagui wa: i, amo Yelusaleme fisili, masa: ne sia: i.
19 [If you want to read more of] what Joash did, [it] is all written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Hina bagade Youa: se ea hamoi eno huluane da “Yuda hina bagade Ilia Hamonanu Meloa” amo ganodini dedene legei.
20 Joash’s officials plotted against him, and two of them killed Joash on the road that goes down to [the] Silla [district]. The two men who did that were Jozabad, the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer. Joash was buried in the place where his ancestors were buried, [in the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then Joash’s son Amaziah became the king of Judah.
Hina bagade Youa: se ea eagene ouligisu dunu ilia da e medomusa: wamo sia: hahamoi. Ouligisu dunu aduna, amo Yosaga (Simia: de egefe) amola Yihosaba: de (Siouma egefe) ela da Sila sogega ahoasu logoa, diasu amo da osobo gasa: le lelegela heda: i Yelusaleme gusudili dialu, amo diasua Youa: se fane legei. Ilia da Youa: se amo hina bagade uli dogosu sogebi, Da: ibidi Moilai Bai Bagade ganodini, uli dogone sali. Youa: se egefe A: masaia da e bagia hina bagade hamoi.
