2 Sarakuna 12
1 A shekara ta bakwai ta Yehu, Yowash ya zama sarki, ya kuma yi mulki a Urushalima na tsawon shekaru arba’in. Sunan mahaifiyarsa Zibiya ce; daga Beyersheba.
Joas began to reign in the seventh year of Ju, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Sabia of Bersabee.
2 Yowash ya aikata abin da yake daidai a idon Ubangiji domin Yehohiyada firist ya koya masa.
And Joas did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all the days that Jodae the priest instructed him.
3 Amma fa ba a kawar da masujadan kan tuddai ba; mutane suka ci gaba da miƙa hadayu da kuma ƙona turare a kan tuddai.
Only there were not [any] of the high places removed, and the people still sacrificed there, and burned incense on the high places.
4 Yowash ya ce wa firistoci, “Ku tattara dukan kuɗin da ake kawo a matsayin hadayu masu tsarki na haikalin Ubangiji, kuɗin da aka tattara a ƙidaya, kuɗin da aka tattara daga wa’adin da mutum ya yi, da kuma kuɗin da aka kawo na yardan rai a haikali.
And Joas said to the priests, [As for] all the money of the holy things that is brought into the house of the Lord, the money of valuation, [as] each man brings the money of valuation, all the money which any man may feel disposed to bring into the house of the Lord,
5 Bari kowane firist yă karɓi kuɗi daga masu ajiya, sa’an nan a yi amfani da su a gyara duk wani abin da ya lalace a haikali.”
let the priests take it to themselves, every man from [the proceeds of] his sale: and they shall repair the breaches of the house in all [places] wherever a breach shall be found.
6 Amma har zuwa shekara ta ashirin da uku ta mulkin Yowash, firistocin ba su yi gyara haikalin ba.
And it came to pass in the twenty-third year of king Joas the priests [had] not repaired the breaches of the house.
7 Saboda haka Sarki Yowash ya kira Yehohiyada firist da sauran firistoci ya tambaye su ya ce, “Me ya sa ba kwa gyaran abubuwan da suka lalace a haikali? Kada ku sāke karɓan kuɗi daga masu ajiya, amma a miƙa su domin gyaran haikali.”
And king Joas called Jodae the priest, and the [other] priests, and said to them, Why have you not repaired the breaches of the house? now then receive no [more] money from your sales, for you shall give it to [repair the] breaches of the house.
8 Firistoci suka yarda cewa ba za su sāke karɓan kuɗi daga mutane ba, kuma ba za su yi gyaran haikalin da kansu ba.
And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, and not to repair the breaches of the house.
9 Yehohiyada firist ya ɗauki akwatin ya huda rami a murfinsa. Ya ajiye shi kusa da bagade a hannun dama na haikalin Ubangiji. Firistocin da suke tsaron ƙofar suka zuba dukan kuɗin da aka kawo a haikalin Ubangiji a cikin akwatin.
And Jodae the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it by the altar in the house of a man [belonging to] the house of the Lord, and the priests that kept the door put [therein] all the money that was found in the house of the Lord.
10 Duk sa’ad da suka ga kuɗin sun ƙaru a akwatin, sai marubucin fada da babban firist, su ƙirga kuɗin da aka kawo a haikalin Ubangiji su sa a jakankuna.
And it came to pass, when they saw that [there was] much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest went up, and they tied up and counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord.
11 Sa’ad da suka ga kuɗin ya yi yawa, sai su ba wa waɗanda aka zaɓa su lura da aikin haikalin. Da shi suka biya waɗanda suka yi aiki a haikalin Ubangiji, su kafintoci, da magina,
And they gave the money that had been collected into the hands of them that wrought the works, the overseers of the house of the Lord; and they gave it out to the carpenters and to the builders that wrought in the house of the Lord.
12 masu gini, da masu fasa duwatsu. Suka sayi katakai da sassaƙaƙƙun duwatsu domin gyaran haikalin Ubangiji, suka kuma biya duk waɗansu kuɗin gyaran haikalin.
And to the masons, and to the hewers of stone, to purchase timber and hewn stone to repair the breaches of the house of the Lord, for all that was spent on the house of the Lord to repair [it].
13 Ba a yi amfani da kuɗin da aka kawo a haikali don yin manyan kwanonin azurfa, lagwani, abin yayyafa ruwa, kakaki ko wani abu na zinariya, ko na azurfa domin haikalin Ubangiji ba;
Only there were not to be made for the house of the Lord silver plates, studs, bowls, or trumpets, any vessel of gold or vessel of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the Lord:
14 an ba ma’aikatan da suka gyara haikalin ne.
for they were to give it to the workmen, and they repaired therewith the house of the Lord.
15 Ba su bukaci wani bayani daga waɗanda aka ba wa kuɗin don su biya ma’aikatan ba, domin sun yi aikinsu da aminci.
Also they took no account of the men into whose hands they gave the money to give to the workmen, for they acted faithfully.
16 Ba a kawo kuɗi daga hadayun laifi da na hadayun zunubi a haikalin Ubangiji ba, waɗannan na firistoci ne.
Money for a sin-offering, and money for a trespass-offering, whatever happened to be brought into the house of the Lord, went to the priests.
17 A wannan lokaci, Hazayel sarkin Aram ya haura, ya kai wa Gat hari, ya kuma ci ta da yaƙi. Sa’an nan ya juya don yă yaƙi Urushalima.
Then went up Azael king of Syria, and fought against Geth, and took it: and Azael set his face to go against Jerusalem.
18 Amma Yowash sarkin Yahuda ya kwashe tsarkakan kayan da kakanninsa, Yehoshafat, Yehoram da Ahaziya, sarakunan Yahuda suka keɓe, da kyautai da shi kansa ya keɓe, da kuma dukan azurfan da aka samu a ɗakunan ajiya haikalin Ubangiji da na fada, ya aika da su wa Hazayel sarkin Aram, shi kuma ya janye daga Urushalima.
And Joas king of Juda took all the holy things which Josaphat, and Joram, Ochozias, his fathers, and kings of Juda [had] consecrated, and what he had himself dedicated, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the Lord's house and the king's house, and he sent [them] to Azael king of Syria; and he went up from Jerusalem.
19 Game da sauran ayyukan mulkin Yowash da duk abin da ya yi, duk a rubuce suke a cikin littafin tarihin sarakunan Yahuda.
And the rest of the acts of Joas, and all that he did, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
20 Hafsoshinsa suka yi masa maƙarƙashiya suka kashe shi a Bet Millo, a kan hanyar da ta gangara zuwa Silla.
And his servants rose up and made a conspiracy, and struck Joas in the house of Mallo that is in Sela.
21 Hafsoshin da suka kashe shi kuwa su ne Yozabad ɗan Shimeyat da Yehozabad ɗan Shomer. Ya mutu, aka kuma binne shi tare da kakanninsa a Birnin Dawuda. Sai Amaziya ɗansa ya gāje shi a matsayin sarki.
And Jezirchar the son of Jemuath, and Jezabuth Somer's son, his servants, struck him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amessias his son reigned in his stead.
