< 2 Kings 12 >

1 In the seventh year of Jehu, the reign of Joash began; he reigned for forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zibiah, of Beersheba.
A I ka hiku o ka makahiki o lehu, i lilo ai o Iehoasa i alii, a he kanaha na makahiki o kona alii ana ma Ierusalema; a o Zibia ka inoa o koua makuwahine no Beereseba.
2 Joash did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh all the time, because Jehoiada the priest was instructing him.
A hana pono aku la o Iehoasa imua o Iehova i kona mau la a pau a Iehoiada a ke kahuna i ao mai ai ia ia.
3 But the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
Aka hoi, aole i laweia'ku na heiau: kaumaha aku la na kanaka, a kuni hoi i ka mea ala ma na heiau.
4 Joash said to the priests, “All the money that is brought in as sacred offerings into the house of Yahweh, that money for which each person is assessed—whether it is the money collected in the census, or the money received from personal vows, or the money brought in by people motivated by Yahweh in their hearts to give—
Olelo aku la o Iehoasa i na kahuna, O ke kala a pau o na mea i laa, ka mea i laweia mai iloko o ka hale o Iehova, o ke kala pono o kela kanaka keia kanaka, o ke kala o na kanaka ma ka auhau ana, o ke kala a pau a kela kanaka keia kanaka i manao ai e lawe mai iloko o ka hale o Iehova,
5 the priests should receive the money from one of their treasurers and repair whatever damage is found in the temple.”
E lawe na kahuna, o kela kanaka keia kanaka ia mea no lakou, no kona hoalauna; a e hana hou lakou i kahi naha o ka hale, i na wahi naha a pau i loaa malaila.
6 But by the twenty-third year of King Joash, the priests had not repaired anything in the temple.
A i ka makahiki iwakaluakumamakolu o Iehoasa, aole i hoopaa na kahuna i na wahi naha o ka hale.
7 Then King Joash called for Jehoiada the priest and for the other priests; he said to them, “Why have you not repaired anything in the temple? Now take no more money from your taxpayers, but take what has been collected for repairs of the temple and give it to those who can make the repairs.”
Alaila kahea aku la o Iehoasa ke alii ia Iehoiada ke kahuna a me na kahuna, i aku la ia lakou, No ke aha oukou i hoopaa ole ai i kahi naha o ka hale? Ano hoi, mai lawe hou oukou i ke kala o ko oukou hoalauna, aka, e haawi aku ia mea no kahi naha o ka hale.
8 So the priests consented to take no more money from the people and not repair the temple themselves.
Ae mai la na kahuna, aole e lawe hou lakou i ke kala o na kanaka, aole hoi e hana hou i kahi naha o ka hale.
9 Instead, Jehoiada the priest took a chest, bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of Yahweh. The priests who were guarding the temple entrance put into it all the money that was brought to the house of Yahweh.
Aka, lawe aku la o Iehoiada ke kahuna i kahi pahu, a wili iho la i puka ma kona pani, a waiho iho la ia mea kokoke i ke kuahu ma ka aoso akau i ka hele ana a ka kanaka iloko o ka hale o Iehova; a o na kahuna, nana i malama i ka paepae puka, hahao lakou iloko i ke kala a pau i laweia mai i ka hale o Iehova.
10 Whenever they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king's scribe and the high priest would come and put the money in bags and then count it, the money found in the temple of Yahweh.
A ike lakou, ua nui ke kala iloko o ka pahu, pii mai la ke kakauolelo o ke alii a me ke kahuna nui, a nakii iho la, a helu i ke kala i loaa iloko o ka hale o Iehova.
11 They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of men who took care of the temple of Yahweh. They paid it out to the carpenters and the builders who worked on the temple of Yahweh,
A haawi lakou i ke kala i kaupaonaia ma ka lima o ka poe nana i hana ka hana, i na luna hoi o ka hale o Iehova: a na lakou i lawe ae i na kamana, a i ka poe paahana nana i hana ka hale o Iehova.
12 and to the masons and the stonecutters, for buying timber and cutting stone to repair the temple of Yahweh, and for all that was needed to be paid to repair it.
A i ka poe hahao pohaku a i na kalaipohaku, a no ke kuai i ka laau, a me na pohaku i kalaiia, e hana hou i kahi naha o ka hale o Iehova, a no na mea a pau i lilo aku no ka hale o Iehova i ka hana hou ana.
13 But the money that was brought into the house of Yahweh did not pay to make for it any silver cups, lamp trimmers, basins, trumpets, or any gold or silver furnishing.
Aole nae i hanaia no ka hale o Iehova na kiaha kala, na upakolikukui, na kiaha, na pu, a me kekahi kiaha gula, a me na kiaha kala, no ke kala i laweia mai i ka hale o Iehova.
14 They gave this money to those who did the work of repairing the house of Yahweh.
No ka mea, ua haawi aku lakou ia mea no ka poe paahana, a hana hou aku lakou me ia i ka hale o Iehova.
15 In addition, they did not require the money paid for repairs to be accounted for by the men who received it and paid it to the workmen, because these men were honest.
Aole lakou i hookolokolo me na kanaka, nana i lawe ke kala e haawi aku i ka poe paahana; no ka mea, ma ka pono ka lakou hana ana.
16 But the money for the guilt offerings and the money for the sin offerings was not brought into the temple of Yahweh, because it belonged to the priests.
O ke kala o ka mohai lawehala a me ke kala o ka mohaihala, aole i laweia mai iloko o ka hale o Iehova; na na kahuna no ia.
17 Then Hazael king of Aram attacked and fought against Gath, and took it. Hazael then turned to attack Jerusalem.
A hele mai o Hazaela ke alii o Suria, a kaua mai i Gata, a hoopio iho la ia: a manao iho la o Hazaela e pii i Ierusalema.
18 Joash king of Judah took all the things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had set apart, and what he had set apart, and all the gold that was found in the storerooms of the houses of Yahweh and of the king and he sent them to Hazael king of Aram. Then Hazael went away from Jerusalem.
A lawe aku la o Iehoasa ke alii o ka Iuda i na mea a pau i hoolaaia, a Iehosapata, a me Iehorama, a me Ahazia, a kona mau makua, na'lii o ka Iuda i hoolaa ai, a me kona mau mea i hoolaaia, a me ke gula a pau i loaa maloko o ka waihona kala ma ka hale o Iehova, a me ka hale o ke alii, a hoouna aku la ia Hazaela ke alii o Suria; a hele aku ia mai Ierusalema aku.
19 As for the other matters concerning Joash, all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?
A o na hana i koe a Ioasa, a o na mea a pau ana i hana'i, aole anei i kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iuda.
20 His servants arose and plotted together; they attacked Joash in Beth Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla.
A ku mai la kana mau kauwa, a kipi ae la, a pepehi aku la ia Ioasa ma Betemilo, e iho ana i Sila.
21 Jozabad son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad son of Shomer, his servants, attacked him, and he died. They buried Joash with his ancestors in the city of David, and Amaziah, his son, became king in his place.
No ka mea, o Iozakara ke keiki a Simeata, a o Iehozabada ke keiki a Somera, kana mau kauwa, pepehi aku laua ia ia, a make iho la ia; a kanu lakou ia ia me kona mau kupuna ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida: a noho alii iho la o Amazia kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.
