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 when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for forty years. 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 what was right in the Lord's sight during the lifetime 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 arranged for him to marry two wives, and 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.
Some time later, Joash decided to repair the Lord's Temple.
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 summoned the priests and Levites and told them, “Go to the towns of Judah and collect the yearly dues from everyone in Israel to repair the Temple of your God. Do it right away.” But the Levites did not go 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?
So the king called for Jehoiada the high priest and asked him, “Why haven't you ordered the Levites to collect from Judah and Jerusalem the tax that Moses, the Lord's servant, and the assembly of Israel imposed to maintain the Tent of the Law?”
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.
(The supporters of that wicked woman Athaliah had broken into God's Temple and had stolen the holy objects of the Lord's Temple and used them to worship 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.
The king ordered a collection chest to be made and placed outside the entrance to the Lord's Temple.
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.
A decree was proclaimed throughout Judea and Jerusalem to bring to the Lord the tax that Moses, the Lord's servant, imposed 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 leaders and all the people were glad to do so and brought their taxes. They dropped them in the chest until it was full.
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.
Every so often the Levites took the chest to the king's officials. When they saw that it contained a large amount of money, the king's secretary and the chief officer of the high priest would come and empty the chest. Then they would carry it back to its place. They did this every day and collected a great deal 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.
Then the king and Jehoiada would allocate the money of those supervising the work on the Lord's Temple to hire stonecutters and carpenters to restore the Lord's Temple and craftsmen in iron and bronze to repair the Lord's Temple.
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.
The men doing the repairs worked hard and made good progress. They restored God's Temple to its original condition 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 finished, they returned the money that was left to the king and Jehoiada, and with it utensils were made for the Lord's Temple, both for the worship services and for the burnt offerings, also bowls for incense and vessels of gold and silver. Burnt offerings were regularly offered in the Lord's Temple regularly throughout Jehoiada's lifetime.
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.
Jehoiada grew old and died at the age of 130, having lived a full life.
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.
He was buried with the kings in the City of David, for all the good he had done in Israel for God and his Temple.
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.
But after the death of Jehoiada, the leaders of Judah came to swear their loyalty to the king, and he listened to their advice.
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 Temple of the Lord, the God of their forefathers, and worshiped Asherah poles and idols. Judah and Jerusalem were punished because of their 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.
The Lord sent prophets to bring the people back to him and to warn them; but they refused to 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.
Then the Spirit of God came to Zechariah, son of Jehoiada the priest. He stood before the people and told them, “This is what God says: ‘Why do you break the Lord's commandments so that you cannot be successful? Since you have abandoned the Lord, he has abandoned 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.
Then the leaders hatched a plot to kill Zechariah, and on the orders of the king they stoned him to death in the courtyard of the Lord's Temple.
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.
King Joash showed he had forgotten all about the loyalty and love shown to him by Jehoiada, Zechariah's father, by killing his son. As he died, Zechariah cried out, “May the Lord see what you've done and pay you back!”
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 Aramean army came to attack Joash. They invaded Judah and Jerusalem and killed all the people's leaders, and sent all their plunder back 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.
Even though the Aramean army had come with only a few men, the Lord gave them the victory over a very large army, because Judah had abandoned the Lord, the God of their forefathers. In this way they punished 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 the Arameans departed, they left Joash badly wounded. But then his own officers plotted against him for murdering the son of Jehoiada the priest, and they killed him in his bed. He was buried in the City of David, but not in the cemetery 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.
Those who plotted against him were Zabad, son of Shimeath, an Ammonite woman, and Jehozabad, son of Shimrith, a Moabite woman.
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.
The story of the sons of Joash, as well as the many prophecies about him and about the restoration of God's Temple, are recorded in the Commentary on the Book of the Kings. His son Amaziah took over as king.
