< 2 Kings 12 >

1 In the seventh year of Jehu reigned hath Jehoash, and forty years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Zibiah of Beer-Sheba,
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mũgwanja wa Jehu, Joashu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki, na agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna. Nyina eetagwo Zibia; na oimĩte Birishiba.
2 and Jehoash doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah all his days in which Jehoiada the priest directed him,
Joashu nĩekire maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova mĩaka ĩrĩa yothe Jehoiada mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai aamũtaarire.
3 only, the high places have not turned aside, still are the people sacrificing and making perfume in high places.
No rĩrĩ, kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gwa kũrutĩra magongona gũtieheririo; andũ mathiire na mbere kũrutĩra magongona na gũcinĩra ũbumba kuo.
4 And Jehoash saith unto the priests, 'All the money of the sanctified things that is brought in to the house of Jehovah, the money of him who is passing over, each the money of his valuation, all the money that it goeth up on the heart of a man to bring in to the house of Jehovah,
Joashu akĩĩra athĩnjĩri-Ngai atĩrĩ, “Cookanĩrĩriai mbeeca iria ciothe irehagwo irĩ cia maruta marĩa maamũre ma hekarũ ya Jehova, na mbeeca iria irutagwo cia gwĩtara, na mbeeca iria ciamũkagĩrwo kuuma mĩĩhĩtwa-inĩ ya andũ o na mbeeca iria irehagwo hekarũ na ũndũ wa kwĩyendera.
5 do the priests take to them, each from his acquaintance, and they strengthen the breach of the house, in all [places] where there is found a breach.'
Ĩtĩkĩriai mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai o wothe aamũkagĩre mbeeca kuuma kũrĩ ũmwe wa aigi a kĩgĩĩna, na mũreke ihũthĩrwo na gũcookereria hekarũ kũrĩa guothe ĩngĩkorwo ĩrĩ tharũku.”
6 And it cometh to pass, in the twenty and third year of king Jehoash, the priests have not strengthened the breach of the house,
Na rĩrĩ, o na gũkinyĩria mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtatũ wa Mũthamaki Joashu, athĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩkorwo matiacookereirie hekarũ.
7 and king Jehoash calleth to Jehoiada the priest, and to the priests, and saith unto them, 'Wherefore are ye not strengthening the breach of the house? and now, receive no money from your acquaintances, but for the breach of the house give it.'
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mũthamaki Joashu agĩĩta Jehoiada ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa angĩ, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ mũtaracookereria hekarũ kũrĩa ĩtharũkĩte? Mũtigeetie mbeeca ingĩ kuuma kũrĩ aigi kĩgĩĩna, no cineanei nĩguo icookererie hekarũ kũrĩa ĩtharũkĩte.”
8 And the priests consent not to receive money from the people, nor to strengthen the breach of the house,
Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩtĩkĩra atĩ matikũngania mbeeca ingĩ kuuma kũrĩ andũ, na atĩ o ene tio megũcookereria hekarũ.
9 and Jehoiada the priest taketh a chest, and pierceth a hole in its lid, and putteth it near the altar, on the right side, as one cometh in to the house of Jehovah, and the priests keeping the threshold have put there all the money that is brought in to the house of Jehovah.
Nake Jehoiada ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai akĩoya ithandũkũ na agĩtũra ngunĩko yarĩo irima. Akĩrĩiga mwena wa ũrĩo wa mũndũ agĩtoonya hekarũ ya Jehova. Athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa maarangagĩra itoonyero magĩĩkĩra mbeeca ciothe ithandũkũ-inĩ iria ciarehagwo hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova.
10 And it cometh to pass, at their seeing that the money [is] abundant in the chest, that there goeth up a scribe of the king, and of the high priest, and they bind [it] up, and count the money that is found [in] the house of Jehovah,
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe moonaga mbeeca nĩciaingĩha ithandũkũ-inĩ, mwandĩki-marũa wa mũthamaki na mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene mookaga, magatara mbeeca iria ciakoragwo irehetwo hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova na magaciĩkĩra mĩhuko.
11 and have given the weighed money into the hands of those doing the work, those inspecting the house of Jehovah, and they bring it out to those working in the wood, and to builders who are working in the house of Jehovah,
Rĩrĩa mũigana wa mbeeca wahinga, makanengera andũ arĩa maathuurĩtwo matuĩke arori a wĩra wa hekarũ. Mbeeca icio ciarĩhaga aruti a wĩra wa hekarũ ya Jehova na andũ a wĩra wa mbaũ, na aaki,
12 and to those [repairing] the wall, and to hewers of stone, and to buy wood and hewn stones to strengthen the breach of the house of Jehovah, and for all that goeth out on the house, to strengthen it.
na arĩa maakaga na mahiga, na aicũhia a mahiga. Maagũraga mbaũ na mahiga maicũhie nĩ ũndũ wa gũcookereria hekarũ ya Jehova kũrĩa yatharũkĩte na makarĩha mahũthĩro mothe ma gũcookereria hekarũ.
13 Only, there is not made for the house of Jehovah basins of silver, snuffers, bowls, trumpets, any vessel of gold, and vessel of silver, out of the money that is brought into the house of Jehovah;
Mbeeca iria ciarehagwo hekarũ-inĩ itiahũthagĩrwo na gũthondeka iraĩ cia betha, kana magathĩ ma gũthima ndaambĩ, kana mbakũri cia kũminjaminja, kana tũrumbeta, kana kĩndũ o gĩothe gĩa thahabu kana gĩa betha nĩ ũndũ wa hekarũ ya Jehova.
14 for to those doing the work they give it, and they have strengthened with it the house of Jehovah,
Mbeeca icio ciarĩhaga aruti a wĩra arĩa maarutaga wĩra wa gũcookereria hekarũ.
15 and they do not reckon with the men into whose hand they give the money to give to those doing the work, for in faithfulness they are dealing.
Matioragia mathabu ma mbeeca kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa maanengerete mbeeca marĩhe aruti a wĩra, tondũ andũ acio maarĩ ehokeku biũ.
16 The money of a trespass-offering, and the money of sin-offerings is not brought in to the house of Jehovah — for the priests it is.
Mbeeca cia maruta ma mahĩtia, na maruta ma mehia itiarehagwo hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova, icio ciarĩ cia athĩnjĩri-Ngai.
17 Then go up doth Hazael king of Aram, and fighteth against Gath, and captureth it, and Hazael setteth his face to go up against Jerusalem;
Ihinda-inĩ o rĩu Hazaeli mũthamaki wa Suriata akĩambata agĩthiĩ agĩtharĩkĩra Gathu na akĩrĩtaha. Ningĩ akĩhũndũka, agĩthiĩ gũtharĩkĩra Jerusalemu.
18 and Jehoash king of Judah taketh all the sanctified things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had sanctified, and his own sanctified things, and all the gold that is found in the treasures of the house of Jehovah and of the house of the king, and sendeth to Hazael king of Aram, and he goeth up from off Jerusalem.
No rĩrĩ, Joashu mũthamaki wa Juda akĩoya indo ciothe iria ciatheretio ikaamũrwo nĩ maithe make, nao nĩ Jehoshafatu, na Jehoramu na Ahazia, athamaki a Juda o na iheo iria we mwene aamũrĩte, o na thahabu iria ciakoretwo kĩgĩĩna-inĩ kĩa hekarũ ya Jehova, o na iria ciarĩ nyũmba ya ũthamaki, agĩcineana itwarĩrwo Hazaeli mũthamaki wa Suriata, nake agĩthiĩ, agĩtiga gũtharĩkĩra Jerusalemu.
19 And the rest of the matters of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Joashu, na ũrĩa wothe eekire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Juda?
20 And his servants rise, and make a conspiracy, and smite Joash in the house of Millo, that is going down to Silla:
Nao anene ake makĩmũciirĩrĩra ndundu mamũũkĩrĩre, makĩmũũragĩra Bethi-Milo, njĩra-inĩ ya gũthiĩ Sila.
21 yea, Jozachar son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad son of Shemer, his servants, have smitten him, and he dieth, and they bury him with his fathers in the city of David, and reign doth Amaziah his son, in his stead.
Nao anene arĩa maamũũragire nĩ Jozakaru mũrũ wa Shimeathu, na Jehozabadu mũrũ wa Shomeru. Joashu agĩkua na agĩthikwo hamwe na maithe make itũũra-inĩ rĩa Daudi. Nake mũriũ Amazia agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
