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, began Jehoash to reign, and, forty years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.
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 eyes of Yahweh all his days, —whereunto, 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.
save only, that, the high places, took they not away, —still were the people sacrificing and burning 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 unto the priests, —All the silver of the hallowed things, that is brought into the house of Yahweh—the silver of one who transgresseth, the silver of [their] persons by the estimate of, each one, —all the silver which it cometh into any man’s heart to bring into the house of Yahweh,
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 to them, every one from his acquaintance, —and let, them, repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever there may be found a breach.
6 Na rĩrĩ, o na gũkinyĩria mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtatũ wa Mũthamaki Joashu, athĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩkorwo matiacookereirie hekarũ.
But it came to pass, that, in the twenty-third 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.”
So King Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said unto them—Why are ye not repairing the breaches of the house? Now, therefore, do not take silver from your acquaintances, for, to [repair] the breaches of the house, ought ye to have given it?
8 Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩtĩkĩra atĩ matikũngania mbeeca ingĩ kuuma kũrĩ andũ, na atĩ o ene tio megũcookereria hekarũ.
The priests therefore consented, not to take silver from the people, and not 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.
Then took Jehoiada a certain chest, and bored a hole in the door thereof, —and set it beside the altar, on the right as one entereth into the house of Yahweh, and the priests that kept the entrance-hall, used to put therein—all the silver that was brought into the house of Yahweh.
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 came to pass, when they saw that there was much silver in the chest, that the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and brought together and counted the silver that was found in the house of Yahweh;
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,
then used they to give the silver that had been weighed out, into the hands of the doers of the work, who had oversight of the house of Yahweh, —and they brought it forth, to the carpenters, and to the builders, who were working upon the house of Yahweh;
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 the masons, and to the hewers of stone, and to buy timber, and hewn stone, for repairing the breaches of the house of Yahweh, —and to every one that went out upon 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.
Howbeit there were not made for the house of Yahweh, bowls of silver, snuffers, dashing basins, trumpets, any vessel of gold, or any vessel of silver, —out of the silver that was brought into the house of Yahweh;
14 Mbeeca icio ciarĩhaga aruti a wĩra arĩa maarutaga wĩra wa gũcookereria hekarũ.
for, to the doers of the work, used they to give it; and so they repaired, therewith, the house of Yahweh.
15 Matioragia mathabu ma mbeeca kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa maanengerete mbeeca marĩhe aruti a wĩra, tondũ andũ acio maarĩ ehokeku biũ.
And they used not to reckon with the men into whose hands they gave the silver, to give it to the doers of the work, because, with faithfulness, were, they, dealing.
16 Mbeeca cia maruta ma mahĩtia, na maruta ma mehia itiarehagwo hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova, icio ciarĩ cia athĩnjĩri-Ngai.
Silver for guilt-offerings and silver for sin-offerings, was not brought into the house of Yahweh, —to the priests, they belonged.
17 Ihinda-inĩ o rĩu Hazaeli mũthamaki wa Suriata akĩambata agĩthiĩ agĩtharĩkĩra Gathu na akĩrĩtaha. Ningĩ akĩhũndũka, agĩthiĩ gũtharĩkĩra Jerusalemu.
Then, came up Hazael, king of Syria, and fought against Gath, and captured it, —so Hazael set his face to go up against 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.
Therefore did Jehoash, king of Judah, take all the hallowed things which Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had hallowed, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasuries of the house of Yahweh and the house of the king, —and sent to Hazael king of Syria, so he went up from against 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?
Now, the rest of the story 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 smote Joash, in the house of Millo which teeth 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.
Yea, Jozabar son of Shimeath and Jehozabad son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, that he died, and he was buried with his fathers, in the city of David, —and, Amaziah his son, reigned in his stead.
