2 Tarihi 24
1 Yowash yana da shekara goma sha bakwai sa’ad da ya zama sarki, ya kuma yi sarauta a Urushalima shekara arba’in. Sunan mahaifiyarsa Zibiya ce; ita daga Beyersheba.
Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah, of Beersheba.
2 Yowash ya yi abin da yake daidai a gaban Ubangiji duka shekarun Yehohiyada firist.
Joash did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
3 Yehohiyada ya zaɓi mata biyu dominsa, yana kuma da’ya’ya maza da’ya’ya mata.
Jehoiada took for him two wives, and he became the father of sons and daughters.
4 Wani lokaci daga baya Yowash ya yanke shawara yă gyara haikalin Ubangiji.
After this, Joash intended to restore the LORD’s house.
5 Ya tara firistoci da Lawiyawa wuri ɗaya ya ce musu, “Ku je garuruwan Yahuda ku karɓa kuɗin da ya kamata a biya shekara-shekara daga dukan Isra’ila, don gyaran haikalin Allahnku. Ku yi haka yanzu.” Amma Lawiyawa ba su yi haka nan da nan ba.
He gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, “Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather money to repair the house of your God from all Israel from year to year. See that you expedite this matter.” However the Levites didn’t do it right away.
6 Saboda haka sarki ya kira Yehohiyada babban firist ya ce masa, “Me ya sa ba ka bukaci Lawiyawa su kawo harajin da Musa bawan Ubangiji ya ce a biya daga Yahuda da Urushalima da kuma taron Isra’ila domin Tentin Sujada Shaida ba?”
The king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, “Why haven’t you required of the Levites to bring in the tax of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the assembly of Israel, out of Judah and out of Jerusalem, for the Tent of the Testimony?”
7 Yanzu’ya’ya muguwar macen nan Ataliya maza sun fasa zuwa cikin haikalin Allah, suka kuma yi amfani da kayayyaki masu tsarki ma wa Ba’al.
For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up God’s house; and they also gave all the dedicated things of the LORD’s house to the Baals.
8 Bisa ga umarnin sarki, aka yi akwati aka sa a waje, a mashigin haikalin Ubangiji.
So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it outside at the gate of the LORD’s house.
9 Aka yi umarni a Yahuda da Urushalima cewa ya kamata suka kawo wa Ubangiji harajin da Musa bawan Allah ya bukaci daga Isra’ila a hamada.
They made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for the LORD the tax that Moses the servant of God laid on Israel in the wilderness.
10 Dukan hafsoshi da dukan mutane suka kawo nasu kuɗin da aka sa musu da farin ciki, suna zuba su cikin akwatin sai da ya cika.
All the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had filled it.
11 Duk sa’ad da Lawiyawa suka fito da akwatin zuwa ga hafsoshin sarki, suka kuma ga cewa akwatin yana da kuɗi mai yawa, sai magatakardan fada da hafsan babban firist su zo su juya kuɗin daga akwatin su mai da shi wurinsa. Sun riƙa yin haka kullum suka tara kuɗi mai yawa.
Whenever the chest was brought to the king’s officers by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king’s scribe and the chief priest’s officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
12 Sarki da Yehohiyada suka ba da shi ga mutanen da suka yi aikin da ake bukata don haikalin Ubangiji. Suka ɗauki masu gini da kafintoci don su gyara haikalin Ubangiji, da kuma ma’aikatan ƙarafa da tagulla don su gyara haikalin.
The king and Jehoiada gave it to those who did the work of the service of the LORD’s house. They hired masons and carpenters to restore the LORD’s house, and also those who worked iron and bronze to repair the LORD’s house.
13 Mutanen da suke lura da aikin natsattsu ne, kuma gyare-gyaren suka ci gaba a ƙarƙashinsu. Suka sāke gina haikalin Allah bisa ga ainihin fasalinsa suka ƙara masa ƙarfi.
So the workmen worked, and the work of repairing went forward in their hands. They set up God’s house as it was designed, and strengthened it.
14 Da suka gama, suka kawo sauran kuɗin wa sarki da Yehohiyada, da su ne kuwa aka yi kayayyaki domin hidima da kuma domin hadayun ƙonawa, haka kuma kwanoni da sauran kayayyakin zinariya da azurfa. Muddin Yehohiyada yana raye, aka riƙa kawo hadayun ƙonawa a haikalin Ubangiji.
When they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, from which were made vessels for the LORD’s house, even vessels with which to minister and to offer, including spoons and vessels of gold and silver. They offered burnt offerings in the LORD’s house continually all the days of Jehoiada.
15 Yanzu Yehohiyada ya tsufa kuma cike da shekaru, ya kuwa mutu yana da shekara ɗari da talatin.
But Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died. He was one hundred thirty years old when he died.
16 Aka binne shi tare da sarakuna a cikin Birnin Dawuda, saboda kirkin da ya yi a Isra’ila wa Allah da haikalinsa.
They buried him in David’s city among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house.
17 Bayan mutuwar Yehohiyada, hafsoshin Yahuda suka zo suka yi mubaya’a wa sarki, ya kuma saurare su.
Now after the death of Jehoiada, the princes of Judah came and bowed down to the king. Then the king listened to them.
18 Suka yashe haikalin Ubangiji Allah na kakanninsu, suka bauta wa ginshiƙan Ashera da kuma gumaka. Saboda laifinsu, fushin Allah ya sauko a kan Yahuda da Urushalima.
They abandoned the house of the LORD, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherah poles and the idols, so wrath came on Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness.
19 Ko da yake Ubangiji ya aiki annabawa zuwa wurin mutane don su dawo da su gare shi, kuma ko da yake sun ba da shaida a kansu, ba su saurara ba.
Yet he sent prophets to them to bring them again to the LORD, and they testified against them; but they would not listen.
20 Sai Ruhun Allah ya sauko a kan Zakariya ɗan Yehohiyada firist. Ya tsaya a gaban mutane ya ce, “Ga abin da Allah ya ce, ‘Me ya sa ba ku yi biyayya da umarnan Ubangiji ba? Ba za ku yi nasara ba. Domin kun yashe Ubangiji, shi ma ya yashe ku.’”
The Spirit of God came on Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said to them, “God says, ‘Why do you disobey the LORD’s commandments, so that you can’t prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, he has also forsaken you.’”
21 Amma suka yi masa maƙarƙashiya, kuma ta wurin umarnin sarki suka jajjefe shi da duwatsu har ya mutu a filin haikalin Ubangiji.
They conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the LORD’s house.
22 Sarki Yowash bai tuna da alherin da Yehohiyada mahaifin Zakariya ya nuna masa ba, sai ya kashe ɗansa, wanda ya ce yayinda yake mutuwa, “Bari Ubangiji yă dubi wannan yă kuma sāka maka.”
Thus Joash the king didn’t remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. When he died, he said, “May the LORD look at it, and repay it.”
23 Da shekara ta kewaye, mayaƙan Aram suka yi gāba da Yowash suka kai hari wa Yahuda da Urushalima suka kuma kashe dukan shugabannin mutane, suka aika da dukan ganima zuwa ga sarkinsu a Damaskus.
At the end of the year, the army of the Syrians came up against him. They came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all their plunder to the king of Damascus.
24 Ko da yake mayaƙan Arameyawa sun zo da mutane kaɗan kawai, Ubangiji ya sa suka ci nasara a kan sojojin Yahuda mafi yawa, don mutanen Yahuda sun rabu da Ubangiji Allah na kakanninsu, aka kuma hukunta Yowash.
For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men; and the LORD delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers. So they executed judgment on Joash.
25 Sa’ad da Arameyawa suka janye, suka bar Yowash da mummunan rauni. Hafsoshinsa suka haɗa baki a kansa saboda kisan ɗan Yehohiyada firist da ya yi, suka kashe shi a kan gadonsa. Ta haka ya mutu aka kuma binne shi makabartan sarakuna.
When they had departed from him (for they left him seriously wounded), his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed, and he died. They buried him in David’s city, but they didn’t bury him in the tombs of the kings.
26 Waɗanda suka haɗa bakin kuwa su ne Zabad ɗan Shimeyat wata mutuniyar Ammon da Yehozabad ɗan Shimrit wata mutuniyar Mowab.
These are those who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
27 Labarin’ya’yansa maza, annabce-annabce masu yawa game da shi, da tarihin gyaran haikalin Allah suna a rubuce a rubuce-rubuce a littafin sarakuna. Amaziya ɗansa kuwa ya gāje shi a matsayin sarki.
Now concerning his sons, the greatness of the burdens laid on him, and the rebuilding of God’s house, behold, they are written in the commentary of the book of the kings. Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
