2 Maũndũ 24
1 Na rĩrĩ, Joashu aarĩ wa mĩaka mũgwanja rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna. Nyina eetagwo Zibia na oimĩte Birishiba.
Ioash was seuen yere olde, when he began to reigne, and he reigned fourty yeere in Ierusalem: and his mothers name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.
2 Joashu nĩekire maũndũ marĩa maagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova mĩaka-inĩ yothe ya Jehoiada ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai.
And Ioash did vprightly in the sight of the Lord, all the dayes of Iehoiada the Priest.
3 Jehoiada akĩmũthuurĩra atumia eerĩ, nake agĩciara aanake na airĩtu.
And Iehoiada tooke him two wiues, and he begate sonnes and daughters.
4 Thuutha ũcio Joashu agĩtua itua rĩa gũcookereria hekarũ ya Jehova.
And afterward it came into Ioash mind, to renew the house of the Lord.
5 Agĩĩta athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii hamwe, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi matũũra-inĩ ma Juda mũnganie mbeeca iria ciagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũrĩhwo o mwaka kuuma Isiraeli cia gũcookereria hekarũ ya Ngai wanyu. Ĩkai ũndũ ũcio o rĩu.” No Alawii matiigana gwĩka ũndũ ũcio narua.
And he assembled the Priests and the Leuites, and said to them, Goe out vnto the cities of Iudah, and gather of all Israel money to repaire the house of your God, from yeere to yeere, and haste the thing: but the Leuites hasted not.
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki agĩĩta Jehoiada mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ kĩgirĩtie wĩre Alawii marehe igooti rĩa kuuma Juda na Jerusalemu rĩrĩa rĩatuanĩirwo nĩ Musa ndungata ya Jehova o na kĩũngano kĩa Isiraeli nĩ ũndũ wa Hema ya Ũira?”
Therefore the King called Iehoiada, the chiefe, and said vnto him, Why hast thou not required of the Leuites to bring in out of Iudah and Ierusalem the taxe of Moses the seruant of the Lord, and of the Congregation of Israel, for the Tabernacle of the testimonie?
7 Na rĩrĩ, ariũ a Athalia, mũtumia ũcio mwaganu, nĩ mabunjĩte hekarũ ya Ngai, o na makahũthĩra indo iria nyamũre na maũndũ ma Baali.
For wicked Athaliah, and her children brake vp the house of God: and all the things that were dedicate for the house of the Lord, did they bestowe vpon Baalim.
8 Mũthamaki nĩathanire, nao andũ magĩthondeka ithandũkũ na makĩrĩiga nja, hau kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa hekarũ ya Jehova.
Therefore the King commanded, and they made a chest, and set it at the gate of the house of the Lord without.
9 Nao nĩmahunjanĩirie kũu Juda na Jerusalemu atĩ nĩmagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũrehe igooti rĩa Jehova rĩrĩa Musa ndungata ya Ngai oigire arĩ werũ-inĩ atĩ rĩrutagwo nĩ Isiraeli.
And they made proclamation thorow Iudah and Ierusalem, to bring vnto the Lord the taxe of Moses the seruant of God, layde vpon Israel in the wildernesse.
10 Anene othe na andũ othe nĩmarehire maruta mao makenete, makĩmekĩra ithandũkũ o nginya rĩkĩiyũra.
And all the princes and all the people reioyced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, vntill they had finished.
11 Rĩrĩa rĩothe ithandũkũ rĩarehagwo kũrĩ anene a mũthamaki nĩ Alawii, na mona atĩ rĩrĩ na mbeeca nyingĩ, mwandĩki wa nyũmba ya ũthamaki na mũnene ũrĩa wathuurĩtwo nĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, mookaga makoonoria ithandũkũ rĩu, na makarĩcookia harĩa rĩaigagwo. Meekaga ũguo o ihinda, kwa ihinda, na makĩũngania mbeeca nyingĩ mũno.
And when it was time, they brought the chest vnto the Kings officer by the hand of the Leuites: and when they saw that there was much siluer, then the Kings Scribe (and one appoynted by the hie Priest) came and emptied the chest, and tooke it, and caried it to his place againe: thus they did day by day, and gathered siluer in abundance.
12 Nao mũthamaki na Jehoiada magĩcinengera andũ arĩa maarutire wĩra ũrĩa wendekanaga nĩ ũndũ wa hekarũ ya Jehova. Makĩandĩka mabundi a mahiga na a mbaũ nĩguo macookererie hekarũ ya Jehova, o na makĩandĩka aruti a wĩra wa igera o na a gĩcango nĩguo macookererie hekarũ.
And the King and Iehoiada gaue it to such as did the labour and worke in the house of the Lord, and hyred masons and carpenters to repayre the house of the Lord: they gaue it also to workers of yron and brasse, to repayre the house of the Lord.
13 Andũ arĩa maarũgamagĩrĩra wĩra maarĩ na kĩyo, naguo wĩra wa gũcookereria hekarũ ũgĩthiĩ na mbere wega ũrũgamĩrĩirwo nĩo. Magĩaka hekarũ ya Ngai rĩngĩ o ta ũrĩa mũhano wayo wa mbere watariĩ, na makĩmĩaka ĩ nũmu mũno.
So the workemen wrought, and the worke amended through their hands: and they restored the house of God to his state, and strengthened it.
14 Rĩrĩa maarĩkirie kũmĩaka, makĩrehera mũthamaki na Jehoiada mbeeca icio ingĩ, nacio igĩtũmĩrwo gũthondeka indo cia hekarũ ya Jehova: indo cia wĩra na cia maruta ma njino, o na magĩthondeka thaani na indo ingĩ cia thahabu na cia betha. Rĩrĩa rĩothe Jehoiada aarĩ muoyo-rĩ, maruta ma njino maarutagwo marũmanĩrĩirio hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova.
And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the siluer before the King and Iehoiada, and he made thereof vessels for the house of the Lord, euen vessels to minister, both morters and incense cuppes, and vessels of golde, and of siluer: and they offred burnt offrings in the house of the Lord continually all the dayes of Iehoiada.
15 Na rĩrĩ, Jehoiada aarĩ mũkũrũ, na akaingĩhia mĩaka, nake agĩkua arĩ wa mĩaka 130.
But Iehoiada waxed olde, and was ful of dayes and dyed. An hundreth and thirtie yeere olde was he when he dyed.
16 Aathikirwo kũrĩa athamaki maathikĩtwo Itũũra-inĩ Inene rĩa Daudi, tondũ wa wega ũrĩa ekĩte Isiraeli nĩ ũndũ wa Ngai na hekarũ yake.
And they buried him in the citie of Dauid with the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house.
17 Thuutha wa gĩkuũ kĩa Jehoiada, anene a Juda magĩũka kũgeithia mũthamaki, nake agĩkĩmathikĩrĩria.
And after the death of Iehoiada, came the princes of Iudah, and did reuerence to the King, and the King hearkened vnto them.
18 Nao magĩtiganĩria hekarũ ya Jehova, Ngai wa maithe mao, na makĩhooya itugĩ cia Ashera na mĩhianano. Tondũ wa wĩhia wao-rĩ, marakara ma Ngai magĩkinyĩra Juda na Jerusalemu.
And they left the house of the Lord God of their fathers, and serued groues and idoles: and wrath came vpon Iudah and Ierusalem, because of this their trespasse.
19 O na gũtuĩka Jehova nĩatũmire anabii kũrĩ andũ nĩguo mamacookie kũrĩ we-rĩ, na o na aakorwo nĩmarutire ũira wa kũmookĩrĩra-rĩ, matiigana kũmaigua.
And God sent Prophets amog the, to bring them againe vnto the Lord: and they made protestation among them, but they would not heare.
20 Ningĩ Roho wa Ngai ũgĩkinyĩrĩra Zekaria mũrũ wa Jehoiada ũrĩa warĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai. Akĩrũgama mbere ya andũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩguo Ngai ekuuga, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mũremere watho wa Jehova? Inyuĩ mũtingĩgaacĩra. Tondũ nĩmũtiganĩirie Jehova, o nake nĩamũtiganĩirie.’”
And the Spirit of God came vpon Zechariah the sonne of Iehoiada the Priest, which stoode aboue the people, and sayde vnto them, Thus sayth God, Why transgresse ye the commandements of the Lord? surely ye shall not prosper: because ye haue forsaken the Lord, he also hath forsaken you.
21 No makĩgĩa ndundu mamũũkĩrĩre, nao maathĩtwo nĩ mũthamaki-rĩ, makĩmũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto, agĩkuĩra o nja-inĩ ya hekarũ ya Jehova.
Then they conspired against him and stoned him with stones at the commandement of the King, in the court of the house of the Lord.
22 Nake Mũthamaki Joashu ndaigana kũririkana ũtaana ũrĩa Jehoiada, ithe wa Zekaria, aamuonetie no nĩ kũũraga ooragire mũrũwe, ũrĩa woigire atĩrĩ agĩkua, “Jehova aroona ũndũ ũyũ na akũrĩhie.”
Thus Ioash the King remembred not the kindnesse which Iehoiada his father had done to him, but slewe his sonne. And when he dyed, he sayd, The Lord looke vpon it, and require it.
23 Mũthia-inĩ wa mwaka, mbũtũ ya ita ya Suriata ĩgĩthiĩ gũtharĩkĩra Joashu; ĩkĩhũũra Juda na Jerusalemu, na ĩkĩũraga atongoria othe a andũ. Magĩtũma indo ciothe iria maatahĩte kũrĩ mũthamaki wao kũu Dameski.
And when the yeere was out, the host of Aram came vp against him, and they came against Iudah and Ierusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoyle of them vnto the King of Damascus.
24 O na gũtuĩka mbũtũ ya ita ya Asuriata yokĩte o na andũ anini, Jehova nĩaneanire mbũtũ nene ya ita moko-inĩ mayo. Tondũ andũ a Juda nĩmatiganĩirie Jehova, Ngai wa maithe mao, Joashu agĩkinyĩrio ituĩro rĩake.
Though the armie of Aram came with a small company of men, yet the Lord deliuered a very great armie into their hand, because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers: and they gaue sentence against Ioash.
25 Rĩrĩa Asuriata meeherire-rĩ, magĩtiga Joashu agurarĩtio mũno. Anene ake makĩgĩa ndundu mamũũkĩrĩre nĩ ũndũ wa kũũraga mũriũ wa Jehoiada ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, nao makĩmũũragĩra gĩtanda-inĩ gĩake. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩkua na agĩthikwo Itũũra-inĩ Inene rĩa Daudi, no ndaathikirwo mbĩrĩra-inĩ cia athamaki.
And when they were departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases) his owne seruants conspired against him for the blood of the children of Iehoiada the Priest, and slewe him on his bed, and he dyed, and they buryed him in the citie of Dauid: but they buryed him not in the sepulchres of the Kings.
26 Arĩa maagĩire ndundu mamũũkĩrĩre maarĩ Zabadi mũrũ wa Shimeathu mũndũ-wa-nja Mũamoni, na Jehozabadu mũrũ wa Shimurithu mũndũ-wa-nja Mũmoabi.
And these are they that conspired against him, Zabad the sonne of Shimrath an Ammonitesse, and Iehozabad the sonne of Shimrith a Moabitesse.
27 Ũhoro wa ariũ ake na morathi maingĩ maamũkoniĩ, na maandĩko makoniĩ gũcookererio kwa hekarũ ya Ngai maandĩkĩtwo thĩinĩ wa ibuku rĩa ũtaũranĩri rĩa athamaki. Nake mũriũ Amazia agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
But his sonnes, and the summe of the taxe gathered by him, and the foundation of the house of God, behold, they are written in the storie of the booke of the Kings. And Amaziah his sonne reigned in his steade.
