II Oihanaalii 24
1 E HIKU makahiki o Ioasa i kona wa i alii ai, a noho alii iho la oia i na makahiki hookahi kanaha ma Ierusalema; a o ka inoa o kona makuwahine o Zibia no Beereseba.
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 A hana pololei o Ioasa imua o Iehova i na la a pau o Iehoiada ke kahuna.
Joash did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
3 A haawi aku o Iehoiada i mau wahine elua nana, a hanau mai la nana he mau keikikane a he mau kaikamahine.
Jehoiada took for him two wives, and he became the father of sons and daughters.
4 Mahope iho, komo iho la iloko o ka naau o Ioasa e hoomaikai hou i ka hale o Iehova.
After this, Joash intended to restore the LORD’s house.
5 Hoakoakoa ae la oia i ka poe kahuna, a me na Levi, a olelo aku la ia lakou, E hele oukou i na kulanakauhale o Iuda, a e houluulu i kahi kala a ka Iseraela a pau i mea e hoomaikai hou ai i ka hale o ko oukou Akua, i kela makahiki keia makahiki; e wikiwiki oukou i keia hana. Aka, aole i hana wawe na Levi.
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 did not do it right away.
6 Kahea aku la ke alii ia Iehoiada ka luna, a olelo aku la ia ia, No ke aha la i hoeueu ole aku ai oe i na Levi e lawe mai, mailoko mai o Iuda a me Ierusalema i ka auhau a Mose ke kauwa a Iehova i kau aku ai maluna o ka ahakanaka o ka Iseraela, no ka halelewa o ke kanawai?
The king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, “Why have not 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 No ka mea, o Atalia, ua wahine ino la, a o kana mau keiki kekahi, wawahi iho la lakou i ka hale o ke Akua, a hoolilo lakou i na mea laa a pau o ka bale o Iehova na Baala.
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 Olelo ke alii, a hana lakou i pahu, a waiho iho la ia mea mawaho ma ka puka o ka hale o Iehova.
So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it outside at the gate of the LORD’s house.
9 A kukala aku la lakou ma Iuda, a ma Ierusalema, E lawe mai na Iehova i ka auhau a Mose, ke kauwa a ke Akua i kau aku ai maluna o ka Iseraela ma ka waonahele.
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 A hauoli iho la na kaukaualii a pau a me na kanaka a pau, a lawe mai lakou, a hahao iloko o ka pahu, a hoopau ae la.
All the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had filled it.
11 A i ka wa i laweia mai ai ka pahu imua o na luna o ke alii e na Levi, a ike lakou ua nui ke kala, alaila hele mai ka lunakakau o ke alii, a me ka luna o ke kahuna nui, a hoohuli lakou i ka pahu, a lawe ae ia mea, a hoihoi aku i kona wahi; pela lakou i hana'i i kela la i keia la, a hoiliili lakou i ke kala he nui loa.
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 A o ke alii a me Iehoiada, haawi laua i keia mea i ka poe ia lakou ka hana ma ka hale o Iehova, a hoolimalima lakou i poe kalai pohaku, a i ka poe kamana, e hoomaikai hou i ka hale o Iehova, a i poe kui hao a me ke keleawe, e hoopaa hou i ka hale o Iehova.
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 A hana iho la ka poe paahana, a paa ia hana ia lakou, a kukulu lakou i ka hale o ke Akua, e like me kona ano mamua, hana hoi lakou a paa.
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 A paa ia hana, lawe mai lakou imua o ke alii a me Iehoiada i ke koena o ke kala, a hana lakou i na kiaha no ka hale o Iehova, i na kiaha e lawelawe ai, a e mohai aku ai, a me na puna a me na kiaha gula a me ke kala. A mohai mau aku lakou i na mohai iloko o ka hale o Iehova i na la a pau o Iehoiada.
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 A elemakule iho la o Iehoiada, a nui loa kona mau la, a make iho la ia. Hookahi haneri kona mau makahiki a me kanakolu, i kona make ana.
But Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died. He was one hundred thirty years old when he died.
16 A kanu lakou ia ia iloko o ke kulanakauhale o Davida me na alii, no ka mea, ua hana pono ia iloko o ka Iseraela, i ke Akua kekahi, a i kona hale iho no hoi.
They buried him in David’s city among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house.
17 A mahope o ka make ana o Iehoiada, hele mai na kaukaualii o luda, a kulou imua o ke alii; alaila, hoolohe ke alii ia lakou.
Now after the death of Jehoiada, the princes of Judah came and bowed down to the king. Then the king listened to them.
18 A haalele lakou i ka hale o Iehova, ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna, a hookauwa lakou na Asetarota a me na kii; a hiki mai ka huhu maluna o Iuda, a me Ierusalema no keia hewa o lakou.
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 Hoouna mai no nae oia io lakou la i na kaula e hoohuli ia lakou ia Iehova, a e ao pinepine ia lakou, aka, aole lakou i hoolohe.
Yet he sent prophets to them to bring them again to the LORD, and they testified against them; but they would not listen.
20 Alaila, kau mai la i ka Uhane o ke Akua maluna o Zekaria, ke keiki a Iehoiada, ke kahuna, a ku ae la ia imua o kanaka, olelo mai la ia lakou, Penei i olelo mai ai ke Akua. No ke aha la oukou i malama ole ai i na kanawai o Iehova, i pono ole ai oukou? No ka mea, ua haalele oukou ia Iehova, a ua haalele no hoi kela ia oukou.
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 cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, he has also forsaken you.’”
21 Alaila, hui ku e lakou ia ia, hailuku lakou ia ia i ka pohaku, mamuli o ke kauoha a ke alii ma ka lanai o ka hale o Iehova.
They conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the LORD’s house.
22 Pela i hoomanao ole ai o Ioasa, ke alii, i ka lokomaikai a Iehoiada a kona makuakane i hana mai ai ia in, aka, pepehi ia i kana keiki: a i kona make ana, i mai la ia, E nana mai o Iehova, a e uku mai hoi.
Thus Joash the king did not 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 A i ka pau ana o ka makahiki, pii ku e mai la io na la ko Suria poe koa; a komo lakou iloko o Iuda, a me Ierusalema, a luku mai la lakou i na kaukaualii o na kanaka mailoko mai o ka poe kanaka, a hoouka aku la i ka waiwai pio a pau o lakou i ke alii ma Damaseko.
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 No ka mea, he poe uuku ko Suria poe i hele mai, aka, ua haawi mai o Iehova iloko o ko lakou lima i ka poe nui loa, no ka mea, ua haa. lele lakou nei ia Iehova ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna. Pela lakou i hoopai mai ai ia Ioasa.
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 A i ko lakou hoi ana mai ona aku, (no ka mea, he mai nui kona i ko lakou hanlele ana ia ia, ) hui ku e kana poe kauwa ia ia, no ke koko o na keiki a Iehoiada, ke kahuna, a pepehi lakou ia ia maluna o kona wahi moe, a make iho la ia; a ua kanu lakou ia ia iloko o ke kulanakauhale o Davida, aole nae i kanu lakou ia ia iloko o ka ilina o na'lii.
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 did not bury him in the tombs of the kings.
26 Eia na mea i hui ku e ia ia; o Zabada, ke keiki a Simeata, a kekahi wahine Amona, a o Iehozabada ke keiki a Simerita, a kekahi wahine Moaba.
These are those who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
27 A no kana poe keiki, a me na mea nui i kauia maluna ona, a no ka hoomaikai hou ana i ka hale o ke Akua, aia hoi. ua kakauia ia mau mea ma ka palapala o ka buke no ua'lii. A noho alii iho la o Amazia kana keiki mahope ona.
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.
