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.
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 Yowash ya aikata abin da yake daidai a idon Ubangiji domin Yehohiyada firist ya koya masa.
And Jehoash did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh all his days, —whereunto, Jehoiada 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.
save only, that, the high places, took they not away, —still were the people sacrificing and burning incense in 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 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 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 to them, every one from his acquaintance, —and let, them, repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever there may be found a breach.
6 Amma har zuwa shekara ta ashirin da uku ta mulkin Yowash, firistocin ba su yi gyara haikalin ba.
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 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.”
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 Firistoci suka yarda cewa ba za su sāke karɓan kuɗi daga mutane ba, kuma ba za su yi gyaran haikalin da kansu ba.
The priests therefore consented, not to take silver from 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.
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 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 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 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,
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 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, 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 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;
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 an ba ma’aikatan da suka gyara haikalin ne.
for, to the doers of the work, used they to give it; and so they repaired, therewith, the house of Yahweh.
15 Ba su bukaci wani bayani daga waɗanda aka ba wa kuɗin don su biya ma’aikatan ba, domin sun yi aikinsu da aminci.
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 Ba a kawo kuɗi daga hadayun laifi da na hadayun zunubi a haikalin Ubangiji ba, waɗannan na firistoci ne.
Silver for guilt-offerings and silver for sin-offerings, was not brought into the house of Yahweh, —to the priests, they belonged.
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, came up Hazael, king of Syria, and fought against Gath, and captured it, —so Hazael set his face to go up 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.
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 Game da sauran ayyukan mulkin Yowash da duk abin da ya yi, duk a rubuce suke a cikin littafin tarihin sarakunan Yahuda.
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 Hafsoshinsa suka yi masa maƙarƙashiya suka kashe shi a Bet Millo, a kan hanyar da ta gangara zuwa Silla.
And his servants arose and made a conspiracy, and smote Joash, in the house of Millo which teeth down to Silla.
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.
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.
