2 Athamaki 12
1 Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mũgwanja wa Jehu, Joashu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki, na agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna. Nyina eetagwo Zibia; na oimĩte Birishiba.
In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and forty years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
2 Joashu nĩekire maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova mĩaka ĩrĩa yothe Jehoiada mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai aamũtaarire.
And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
3 No rĩrĩ, kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gwa kũrutĩra magongona gũtieheririo; andũ mathiire na mbere kũrutĩra magongona na gũcinĩra ũbumba kuo.
But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
4 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.
And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the LORD, even the money of every one that passes the account, the money that every man is set at, and all the money that comes into any man’s heart to bring into the house of the LORD,
5 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.”
Let the priests take it to them, every man of his acquaintance: and let them repair the breaches of the house, wherever any breach shall be found.
6 Na rĩrĩ, o na gũkinyĩria mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtatũ wa Mũthamaki Joashu, athĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩkorwo matiacookereirie hekarũ.
But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.
7 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.”
Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said to them, Why repair you not the breaches of the house? now therefore receive no more money of your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house.
8 Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩtĩkĩra atĩ matikũngania mbeeca ingĩ kuuma kũrĩ andũ, na atĩ o ene tio megũcookereria hekarũ.
And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, neither to repair the breaches of the house.
9 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.
But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of the LORD: and the priests that kept the door put therein all the money that was brought into the house of the LORD.
10 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.
And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags, and told the money that was found in the house of the LORD.
11 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,
And they gave the money, being told, into the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of the LORD: and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders, that worked on the house of the LORD,
12 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.
And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
13 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.
However, there were not made for the house of the LORD bowls of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the LORD:
14 Mbeeca icio ciarĩhaga aruti a wĩra arĩa maarutaga wĩra wa gũcookereria hekarũ.
But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired therewith the house of the LORD.
15 Matioragia mathabu ma mbeeca kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa maanengerete mbeeca marĩhe aruti a wĩra, tondũ andũ acio maarĩ ehokeku biũ.
Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully.
16 Mbeeca cia maruta ma mahĩtia, na maruta ma mehia itiarehagwo hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova, icio ciarĩ cia athĩnjĩri-Ngai.
The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of the LORD: it was the priests’.
17 Ihinda-inĩ o rĩu Hazaeli mũthamaki wa Suriata akĩambata agĩthiĩ agĩtharĩkĩra Gathu na akĩrĩtaha. Ningĩ akĩhũndũka, agĩthiĩ gũtharĩkĩra Jerusalemu.
Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it: and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
18 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.
And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and in the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.
19 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?
And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
20 Nao anene ake makĩmũciirĩrĩra ndundu mamũũkĩrĩre, makĩmũũragĩra Bethi-Milo, njĩra-inĩ ya gũthiĩ Sila.
And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and slew Joash in the house of Millo, which goes down to Silla.
21 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.
For Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
