2 Chronicles 24
1 Joash was seven years old when he began to reign; he reigned for forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zibiah, of Beersheba.
Siangpahrang ah oh nathuem ah Joash loe saning sarihto oh boeh; anih mah Jerusalem to saning quipalito thung uk. Anih ih amno loe Beersheba ih kami Zibiah.
2 Joash did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh all the days of Jehoiada, the priest.
Jehoiada qaima ah oh nathung, Joash loe Angraeng mikhnukah hmuen kahoih to sak.
3 Jehoiada took for him two wives, and he became the father of sons and daughters.
Jehoiada loe zu hnetto bok moe, capa hoi canunawk to sak.
4 It came about after this, that Joash decided to restore the house of Yahweh.
Saning nazetto maw oh pacoengah, Joash loe Angraeng ih im pathoep hanah poekhaih a tawnh.
5 He gathered together the priests and the Levites, and he said to them, “Go out every year to the cities of Judah and gather from all Israel money to repair the house of your God. Make sure that you start right away.” The Levites did nothing at first.
Anih mah qaima hoi Levi acaengnawk to nawnto pakhueng moe, na Sithaw ih im pakhraih hanah, Judah vangpuinawk boih ah caeh oh loe, Israel acaengnawk mah saning kruek paek han koi tamut to cong oh, hae hmuen hae vaihiah sah o roep ah, tiah a naa. Toe Levi acaengnawk mah sah o roep ai.
6 So the king called for Jehoiada the high priest and said to him, “Why have you not required the Levites to bring in from Judah and Jerusalem the tax levied by Moses the servant of Yahweh and by the assembly of Israel for the tent of the covenant decrees?”
Siangpahrang mah qaima Jehoiada to kawk moe, Hnukung Kahni im hanah, Angraeng ih tamna Mosi hoi Israel kaminawk mah sak ih baktih toengah, Tipongah tamut cong hanah Levi acaengnawk to Jerusalem vangpui hoi Judah prae boih ah na caehsak ai loe?
7 For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God and had given all the holy things of the house of Yahweh to the Baals.
Nongpata kasae Athaliah ih capanawk mah Sithaw ih im to muk o moe, im ah tathlangh o ih kaciim hmuennawk to Baal hanah paek o pongah, im to pakhraih han angai boeh, tiah a naa.
8 So the king commanded, and they made a chest and placed it outside at the entrance to the house of Yahweh.
Siangpahrang lokpaekhaih baktih toengah, nihcae mah thingkhong maeto sak o moe, Angraeng ih im khongkha tasa bangah suek o.
9 Then they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, for the people to bring in for Yahweh the tax that Moses the servant of God levied on Israel in the wilderness.
Sithaw ih tamna Mosi mah praezaek ah, Israel kaminawk khaeah hmuenmae to cong o baktih toengah, Angraeng khaeah tamut to sin oh, tiah Judah hoi Jerusalem kaminawk khaeah a thuih pae.
10 All the leaders and all the people rejoiced and brought money in and put it into the chest until they finished filling it.
Angraengnawk hoi kaminawk boih anghoe o, phoisa to sin o moe, boeng ai karoek to thingkhong thungah pacaeng o.
11 It happened that whenever the chest was brought to the king's officials by the hand of the Levites, and whenever they saw that there was much money in it, the king's scribe and the high priest's official would come, empty the chest, and take it and carry it back to its place. They did this day after day, gathering large amounts of money.
Levi acaengnawk mah to phoisa to hmuenmae patunghaih ahmuen ah suek o; phoisa loe paroeai pop pongah, siangpahrang toksah angraeng hoi qaima ih toksah angraengnawk to angzoh o; nihcae mah phoisa to lak o, thingkhong to loe angmah ahmuen ah suek o let. Ni thokkruek to tiah a sak o pongah, phoisa paroeai hak o.
12 The king and Jehoiada gave the money to those who did the work of serving in the house of Yahweh. These men hired stonemasons and carpenters to restore the house of Yahweh, and also those who worked in iron and bronze.
Siangpahrang hoi Jehoiada mah to phoisa to Angraeng im thungah toksah kaminawk khaeah paek hoi moe, Angraeng ih im pathoep hanah, param long sah kop kami, thing aat thaih kaminawk to thlai o; sum hoi sumkamling sui thaih kaminawk doeh Angraeng ih im sak hanah thlai o.
13 So the workmen labored, and the work of repairing went forward in their hands; they set up the house of God in its original design and strengthened it.
Toksah kaminawk loe katoengah toksak o pongah, Angraeng ih im loe tangsuek nathuem ih baktiah pathoep o moe, cak o sak let.
14 When they finished, they brought the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada. This money was used to make furnishings for the house of Yahweh, utensils with which to serve and make offerings—spoons and utensils of gold and silver. They offered burnt offerings in the house of Yahweh continually for all the days of Jehoiada.
Toksak boeng pacoengah loe kamtlai tangka to siangpahrang hoi Jehoiada khaeah paek o let; kamtlai to ih phoisa hoiah Angraeng ih im thungah toksak naah patoh koi sui, sumkanglung, laom sabaenawk, angbawnhaih laom sabaenawk, kathlahnawk, laom sabaenawk to a sak o; Jehoiada hing thung, Angraeng ih im thungah boeng thai ai hmai angbawnhaih to a sak o.
15 Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and then he died; he was 130 years old when he died.
Jehoiada loe mitong parai moe, saning cumvai, quithumto phak naah duek.
16 They buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, toward God, and to God's house.
Anih loe Israel prae thungah Sithaw hoi Angraeng ih im hanah hmuen kahoih to sak pongah, David vangpui thungah, siangpahrang salakah aphum o.
17 Now after the death of Jehoiada, the leaders of Judah came and did honor to the king. Then the king listened to them.
Jehoiada duek pacoengah, Judah angraengnawk loe siangpahrang bok hanah angzoh o. To naah siangpahrang mah nihcae ih lok to tahngaih pae.
18 They forsook the house of Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, and worshiped the Asherah gods and the idols. God's anger came on Judah and Jerusalem for this wrongdoing of theirs.
Nihcae loe ampanawk ih Angraeng Sithaw im to caeh o taak moe, Asherah thing tlim ih krangnawk to bok o; to tiah zaehaih to a sak o pongah, Sithaw palungphuihaih Judah hoi Israel nuiah phak.
19 Yet he sent prophets to them to bring them again to himself, Yahweh; the prophets testified against the people, but they refused to listen.
Angraeng angmah khaeah kawk let hanah, nihcae khaeah tahmaanawk to patoeh, tahmaanawk mah thuih pae o, toe tahngai o ai.
20 The Spirit of God came on Zechariah son of Jehoiada, the priest; Zechariah stood above the people and said to them, “God says this: Why do you transgress the commandments of Yahweh, so that you cannot prosper? Since you have forsaken Yahweh, he has also forsaken you.”
To naah Sithaw ih Muithla loe qaima Jehoiada capa Zekariah nuiah phak; anih loe kaminawk hmaa ah angdoet moe, Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; Khosak hoihaih oh han ai ah, tipongah Angraeng lokpaekhaih to na aek o loe? Angraeng na caeh o taak boeh pongah, Angraeng mah doeh na caeh o taak tih boeh, tiah a naa.
21 But they plotted against him; at the king's command, they stoned him with stones in the courtyard of the house of Yahweh.
Toe nihcae mah anih to hum hanah pacaeng o lat; siangpahrang lokpaekhaih rang hoiah anih to Angraeng ih im longhmaa ah thlung hoiah vah o mat.
22 In this manner, Joash, the king, ignored the kindness that Jehoiada, Zechariah's father, had done to him. Instead, he killed Jehoiada's son. When Zechariah was dying, he said, “May Yahweh see this and call you to account.”
Zekariah ampa Jehoiada mah anih nuiah tawnh ih tahmenhaih to Joash siangpahrang mah panoek pae ai, a capa to hum pae ving. Anih mah duek tom naah, Angraeng mah hnu nasoe loe, na nuiah lokcaek nasoe, tiah a naa.
23 It came about at the end of the year, that the army of Aram came up against Joash. They came to Judah and Jerusalem; they killed all the leaders of the people and sent all the plunder from them to the king of Damascus.
Saning boenghaih bangah loe, Joash tuk hanah Syria misatuh kaminawk Judah hoiah Jerusalem ah angzoh o moe, zaehoikung kacoehtanawk to hum o boih; a lak o ih hmuennawk to angmacae ih Damasaka siangpahrang khaeah pat o boih.
24 Although the army of the Arameans had come with only a few soldiers, Yahweh gave them victory over a very great army, because Judah had forsaken Yahweh, the God of their ancestors. In this way the Arameans brought judgment on Joash.
Syria misatuh kaminawk loe kami zetta ni angzoh o; Judahnawk loe ampanawk ih Angraeg Sithaw to pahnawt o ving pongah, Angraeng mah pop parai misatuh kaminawk to nihcae ban ah paek; to pongah Syria kaminawk mah Joash to danpaek o.
25 By the time that the Arameans had gone, Joash had been severely wounded. His own servants plotted against him because of the murder of the sons of Jehoiada, the priest. They killed him in his bed, and he died; they buried him in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
Misanawk anih khae hoi amlaem pacoengah, Joash loe paroeai patangkhang; qaima Jehoiada capa to a hum pongah, angmah ih tamnanawk mah anih to hum hanah pacaeng o; anih loe angmah ih iihkhun nuiah hum o moe, duek; anih loe David vangpui thungah aphum o; toe siangpahrangnawk ih taprong ah aphum o ai.
26 These were the persons who plotted against him: Zabad son of Shimeath, an Ammonite woman; and Jehozabad son of Shimrith, a Moabite woman.
Anih hum kami hnik loe, Amon acaeng Shimeath capa Zabad hoi Moab acaeng Shimrith capa Jehozabad.
27 Now the accounts about his sons, the important prophecies that were spoken about him, and the rebuilding of the house of God, see, they are written in the commentary on the book of the kings. Amaziah his son became king in his place.
Anih capanawk ih kawng, hmuen kazit phawhhaih kawng, Sithaw ih im pathoephaih kawngnawk loe siangpahrang toksakhaih ruici cabu thungah tarik o. Anih zuengah a capa Amaziah mah prae to uk.
