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.
Jehoash began to reign in the seventh year of Jehu, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. 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.
Jehoash did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes all his days in which 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.
However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned 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.
Jehoash said to the priests, “All the money of the holy things that is brought into the LORD’s house, in current money, the money of the people for whom each man is evaluated, and all the money that it comes into any man’s heart to bring into the LORD’s house,
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, each man from his donor; and they shall repair the damage to the house, wherever any damage is 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 twenty-third year of King Jehoash the priests had not repaired the damage to 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 for the other priests, and said to them, “Why aren’t you repairing the damage to the house? Now therefore take no more money from your treasurers, but deliver it for repair of the damage to the house.”
8 Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩtĩkĩra atĩ matikũngania mbeeca ingĩ kuuma kũrĩ andũ, na atĩ o ene tio megũcookereria hekarũ.
The priests consented that they should take no more money from the people, and not repair the damage to 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 its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the LORD’s house; and the priests who kept the threshold put all the money that was brought into the LORD’s house into it.
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.
When they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and they put it in bags and counted the money that was found in the LORD’s house.
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,
They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the LORD’s house; and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders who worked on the LORD’s house,
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 the stone cutters, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the damage to the LORD’s house, 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.
But there were not made for the LORD’s house cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the LORD’s house;
14 Mbeeca icio ciarĩhaga aruti a wĩra arĩa maarutaga wĩra wa gũcookereria hekarũ.
for they gave that to those who did the work, and repaired the LORD’s house with it.
15 Matioragia mathabu ma mbeeca kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa maanengerete mbeeca marĩhe aruti a wĩra, tondũ andũ acio maarĩ ehokeku biũ.
Moreover they didn’t demand an accounting from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work; 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 money for the trespass offerings and the money for the sin offerings was not brought into the LORD’s house. 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.
Jehoash king of Judah took all the holy things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own holy things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the LORD’s house, and of 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?
Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, aren’t they 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.
His servants arose and made a conspiracy, and struck Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that 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 Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in David’s city; and Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
