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,

Naʻe kamata pule ʻa Soasa ʻi hono fitu ʻoe taʻu ʻo Sehu; pea naʻe pule ia ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Sipia mei Peasipa.

2 and Jehoash doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah all his days in which Jehoiada the priest directed him,

Pea naʻe fai totonu ʻa Soasa ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē naʻe akonakiʻi ai ia ʻe Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeiki.

3 only, the high places have not turned aside, still are the people sacrificing and making perfume in high places.

Ka naʻe ʻikai ʻave ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga: naʻe kei fai feilaulau mo e tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻe he kakai ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga.

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,

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Soasa ki he kau taulaʻeiki, “Ko e paʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi meʻa tapu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻae paʻanga ʻoe kakai kotoa pē ʻoku lau, ʻae paʻanga ʻoku fakatatau ki ai ʻae tangata taki taha, pea mo e paʻanga ʻoku loto lelei ki ai ʻae tangata ke ne ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihova,

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.'

Tuku ke maʻu ia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki, ko e taki taha mei hono kāinga: pea tuku ke nau toe langa ʻae ngaahi potu maumau ʻoe fale, ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻilo ai ha maumau.”

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,

Ka ko eni, ʻi hono uofulu ma tolu ʻoe taʻu ʻoe tuʻi ko Soasa naʻe teʻeki ke toe langa ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae ngaahi potu maumau ʻoe fale.

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.'

Pea naʻe toki ui ʻe Soasa ko e tuʻi kia Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeiki, pea mo e kau taulaʻeiki kehe, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou toe langa ʻae ngaahi potu maumau ʻoe fale? Ko ia foki ke ʻoua naʻa mou kei maʻu ha paʻanga mei homou kāinga, ka mou tuku ia ke toe langa ʻae ngaahi potu maumau ʻoe fale.”

8 And the priests consent not to receive money from the people, nor to strengthen the breach of the house,

Pea naʻe loto ki ai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ke ʻoua naʻa nau kei maʻu ha paʻanga mei he kakai, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau loto ke toe langa ʻae ngaahi potu maumau ʻoe fale.

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.

Ka naʻe ʻave ha ngeʻesi puha ʻe Sihoiata, ko e taulaʻeiki mo ne vili ha ava ʻi hono tāpuni, pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ia ʻi he veʻe feilaulauʻanga, ki he potu fakatoʻomataʻu ʻi heʻene hū ange ha tokotaha ki he fale ʻo Sihova: pea naʻe ʻai ki ai ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki naʻe tauhi ʻae matapā, ʻae paʻanga kotoa pē naʻe ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihova.

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,

Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi heʻenau mamata kuo lahi ʻae paʻanga ʻi he puha, naʻe haʻu ʻae tangata tohi ʻae tuʻi mo e taulaʻeiki lahi, pea naʻa na ʻai ia ki he ngaahi kato, mo lau hake ʻae paʻanga ʻaia naʻe ʻilo ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.

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,

Pea naʻa nau foaki ʻae paʻanga, ka kuo ʻosi hono lau, ki he nima ʻokinautolu naʻe fai ʻae ngāue, ʻakinautolu naʻe pule ki he fale ʻo Sihova: pea naʻa nau totongi ʻaki ia ki he kau tufunga mo e kau langa fale ʻaia naʻe ngāue ki he fale ʻo Sihova,

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.

Pea ki he kau helehele maka mo e kau tā maka, pea ke fakatauʻaki ʻae ʻakau mo e ngaahi maka kuo tā ke toe langaʻaki ʻae ngaahi potu maumau ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, pea ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻi he fakafoʻou ʻoe fale.

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;

Ka naʻe ʻikai ngaohi maʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻae ngaahi ipu siliva, mo e helekosi maama, mo e ngaahi ipu luoluo, mo e ngaahi meʻalea, pe ha ngaahi teunga koula, pe ha ngaahi teunga siliva, mei he paʻanga naʻe ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihova:

14 for to those doing the work they give it, and they have strengthened with it the house of Jehovah,

Ka naʻa nau foaki ia ki he kau ngāue, mo nau toe langa ʻaki ia ʻae fale ʻo Sihova.

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.

Pea naʻe ʻikai foki ke nau ʻekeʻi ʻae kau tangata ʻakinautolu naʻe tuku ki honau nima ʻae paʻanga ke totongiʻaki ʻae kau ngāue, he naʻa nau fai angatonu pe.

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.

Naʻe ʻikai ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihova ʻae paʻanga ʻi he fai hala, mo e paʻanga ʻoe angahala: he naʻe ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki ia.

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;

Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Hasaeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia, ke fai ʻae tau ki Kati, pea naʻa ne lavaʻi ia: pea naʻe fakahanga hono mata ʻe Hasaeli ke ʻalu hake ki Selūsalema.

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.

Pea naʻe toʻo mai ʻe Soasa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ʻae ngaahi meʻa tapu kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe fakatapui ʻe Sihosafate, mo Siholami, pea mo ʻAhasia, ko ʻene ngaahi tamai, ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea mo ʻene ngaahi meʻa tapu ʻaʻana, pea mo e koula kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻi he ngaahi tukunga koloa ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, pea ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi, mo ne ʻave ia kia Hasaeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia: pea naʻa ne foki atu mei Selūsalema.

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?

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Soasi, pea mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?

20 And his servants rise, and make a conspiracy, and smite Joash in the house of Millo, that is going down to Silla:

Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, mo nau teuteu ʻae lapa, pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻa Soasi ʻi he fale ʻo Milo, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he hala ʻoku hifo ki Silia.

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.

He naʻe taaʻi ia ʻe Sosaka ko e foha ʻo Simiati, mo Sihosapati ko e foha ʻa Someli, ko ʻene ongo tamaioʻeiki, pea naʻa ne mate; pea naʻa nau tanu ia fakataha mo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe ʻAmasia ko hono foha.
