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.
Joas was seven years old when he began to reign: and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Sebia of Bersabee.
2 A hana pololei o Ioasa imua o Iehova i na la a pau o Iehoiada ke kahuna.
And he did that which is good before the Lord all the days of Joiada 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.
And Joiada took for him two wives, by whom he had 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 Joas had a mind to repair the house of the Lord.
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.
And he assembled the priests, and the Levites, and said to them: Go out to the cities of Juda, and gather of all Israel money to repair the temple of your God, from year to year: and do this with speed: but the Levites were negligent.
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?
And the king called Joiada the chief, and said to him: Why hast thou not taken care to oblige the Levites to bring in out of Juda and Jerusalem the money that was appointed by Moses the servant of the Lord for all the multitude of Israel to bring into the tabernacle 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 that wicked woman Athalia, and her children have destroyed the house of God, and adorned the temple of Baal with all the things that had been dedicated in the temple of the Lord.
8 Olelo ke alii, a hana lakou i pahu, a waiho iho la ia mea mawaho ma ka puka o ka hale o Iehova.
And the king commanded, and they made a chest: and set it by the gate of the house of the Lord on the outside.
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.
And they made a proclamation in Juda and Jerusalem, that every man should bring to the Lord the money which Moses the servant of God appointed for all Israel, in the desert.
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.
And all the princes, and all the people rejoiced: and going In they contributed and cast so much into the chest of the Lord, that it was filled.
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.
And when it was time to bring the chest before the king by the hands of the Levites, (for they saw there was much money, ) the king’s scribe, and he whom the high priest had appointed went in: and they poured out the money that was in the chest: and they carried back the chest to its place: and thus they did from day to day, and there was gathered an immense sum of money.
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.
And the king and Joiada gave it to those who were over the works of the house of the Lord: but they hired with it stonecutters, and artificers of every kind of work to repair the house of the Lord: and such as wrought in iron and brass, to uphold what began to be falling.
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.
And the workmen were diligent, and the breach of the walls was closed up by their hands, and they set up the house of the Lord in its former state, and made it stand firm.
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.
And when they had finished all the works, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Joiada: and with it were made vessels for the temple for the ministry, and for holocausts and bowls, and other vessels of gold and silver: and holocausts were offered in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Joiada.
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 Joiada grew old and was full of days, and died when he was a hundred and thirty years old.
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.
And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good to Israel, and to 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.
And after the death of Joiada, the princes of Juda went in, and worshipped the king: and he was soothed by their services and hearkened 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.
And they forsook the temple of the Lord the God of their fathers, and served groves and idols, and wrath came upon Juda and Jerusalem for this sin.
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.
And he sent prophets to them to bring them back to the Lord, and they would not give ear when they testified against them.
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 then came upon Zacharias the son of Joiada the priest, and he stood in the sight of the people, and said to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Why transgress you the commandment of the Lord which will not be for your good, and have forsaken the Lord, to make him forsake 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.
And they gathered themselves together against him, and stoned him at the king’s commandment in the court of the house of the Lord.
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.
And king Joas did not remember the kindness that Joiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. And when he died, he said: The Lord see, and require 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.
And when a year was come about, the army of Syria came up against him: and they came to Juda and Jerusalem, and killed all the princes of the people, and they sent all the spoils 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.
And whereas there came a very small number of the Syrians, the Lord delivered into their hands an infinite multitude, because they had forsaken the Lord the God of their fathers: and on Joas they executed shameful judgments.
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.
And departing they left him in diseases: and his servants rose up him, for revenge of the blood of the son of Joiada the priest, and they slew him in his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres 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.
Now the men that conspired against him were Zabad the son of Semmaath an Ammonitess, and Jozabad the son of Semarith a 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.
And concerning his sons, and the sum of money which was gathered under him, and the repairing the house of God; they are written more diligently in the book of kings: and Amasias his son reigned in his stead.
