II Na Lii 12
1 A I ka hiku o ka makahiki o lehu, i lilo ai o Iehoasa i alii, a he kanaha na makahiki o kona alii ana ma Ierusalema; a o Zibia ka inoa o koua makuwahine no Beereseba.
In the seventh year of Jehu, Joash became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba.
2 A hana pono aku la o Iehoasa imua o Iehova i kona mau la a pau a Iehoiada a ke kahuna i ao mai ai ia ia.
And Joash did what was right in the eyes of the LORD all the days he was instructed by Jehoiada the priest.
3 Aka hoi, aole i laweia'ku na heiau: kaumaha aku la na kanaka, a kuni hoi i ka mea ala ma na heiau.
Nevertheless, the high places were not removed; the people continued sacrificing and burning incense there.
4 Olelo aku la o Iehoasa i na kahuna, O ke kala a pau o na mea i laa, ka mea i laweia mai iloko o ka hale o Iehova, o ke kala pono o kela kanaka keia kanaka, o ke kala o na kanaka ma ka auhau ana, o ke kala a pau a kela kanaka keia kanaka i manao ai e lawe mai iloko o ka hale o Iehova,
Then Joash said to the priests, “Collect all the money brought as sacred gifts into the house of the LORD—the census money, the money from vows, and the money brought voluntarily into the house of the LORD.
5 E lawe na kahuna, o kela kanaka keia kanaka ia mea no lakou, no kona hoalauna; a e hana hou lakou i kahi naha o ka hale, i na wahi naha a pau i loaa malaila.
Let every priest receive it from his constituency, and let it be used to repair any damage found in the temple.”
6 A i ka makahiki iwakaluakumamakolu o Iehoasa, aole i hoopaa na kahuna i na wahi naha o ka hale.
By the twenty-third year of the reign of Joash, however, the priests had not yet repaired the damage to the temple.
7 Alaila kahea aku la o Iehoasa ke alii ia Iehoiada ke kahuna a me na kahuna, i aku la ia lakou, No ke aha oukou i hoopaa ole ai i kahi naha o ka hale? Ano hoi, mai lawe hou oukou i ke kala o ko oukou hoalauna, aka, e haawi aku ia mea no kahi naha o ka hale.
So King Joash called Jehoiada and the other priests and said, “Why have you not repaired the damage to the temple? Now, therefore, take no more money from your constituency, but hand it over for the repair of the temple.”
8 Ae mai la na kahuna, aole e lawe hou lakou i ke kala o na kanaka, aole hoi e hana hou i kahi naha o ka hale.
So the priests agreed that they would not receive money from the people and that they would not repair the temple themselves.
9 Aka, lawe aku la o Iehoiada ke kahuna i kahi pahu, a wili iho la i puka ma kona pani, a waiho iho la ia mea kokoke i ke kuahu ma ka aoso akau i ka hele ana a ka kanaka iloko o ka hale o Iehova; a o na kahuna, nana i malama i ka paepae puka, hahao lakou iloko i ke kala a pau i laweia mai i ka hale o Iehova.
Then Jehoiada the priest took a chest, bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar on the right side as one enters the house of the LORD. There the priests who guarded the threshold put all the money brought into the house of the LORD.
10 A ike lakou, ua nui ke kala iloko o ka pahu, pii mai la ke kakauolelo o ke alii a me ke kahuna nui, a nakii iho la, a helu i ke kala i loaa iloko o ka hale o Iehova.
Whenever they saw that there was a large amount of money in the chest, the royal scribe and the high priest would go up, count the money brought into the house of the LORD, and tie it up in bags.
11 A haawi lakou i ke kala i kaupaonaia ma ka lima o ka poe nana i hana ka hana, i na luna hoi o ka hale o Iehova: a na lakou i lawe ae i na kamana, a i ka poe paahana nana i hana ka hale o Iehova.
Then they would put the counted money into the hands of those who supervised the work on the house of the LORD, who in turn would pay those doing the work—the carpenters, builders,
12 A i ka poe hahao pohaku a i na kalaipohaku, a no ke kuai i ka laau, a me na pohaku i kalaiia, e hana hou i kahi naha o ka hale o Iehova, a no na mea a pau i lilo aku no ka hale o Iehova i ka hana hou ana.
masons, and stonecutters. They also purchased timber and dressed stone to repair the damage to the house of the LORD, and they paid the other expenses of the temple repairs.
13 Aole nae i hanaia no ka hale o Iehova na kiaha kala, na upakolikukui, na kiaha, na pu, a me kekahi kiaha gula, a me na kiaha kala, no ke kala i laweia mai i ka hale o Iehova.
However, the money brought into the house of the LORD was not used for making silver basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, trumpets, or any articles of gold or silver for the house of the LORD.
14 No ka mea, ua haawi aku lakou ia mea no ka poe paahana, a hana hou aku lakou me ia i ka hale o Iehova.
Instead, it was paid to those doing the work, and with it they repaired the house of the LORD.
15 Aole lakou i hookolokolo me na kanaka, nana i lawe ke kala e haawi aku i ka poe paahana; no ka mea, ma ka pono ka lakou hana ana.
No accounting was required from the men who received the money to pay the workmen, because they acted with integrity.
16 O ke kala o ka mohai lawehala a me ke kala o ka mohaihala, aole i laweia mai iloko o ka hale o Iehova; na na kahuna no ia.
The money from the guilt offerings and sin offerings was not brought into the house of the LORD; it belonged to the priests.
17 A hele mai o Hazaela ke alii o Suria, a kaua mai i Gata, a hoopio iho la ia: a manao iho la o Hazaela e pii i Ierusalema.
At that time Hazael king of Aram marched up and fought against Gath and captured it. Then he decided to attack Jerusalem.
18 A lawe aku la o Iehoasa ke alii o ka Iuda i na mea a pau i hoolaaia, a Iehosapata, a me Iehorama, a me Ahazia, a kona mau makua, na'lii o ka Iuda i hoolaa ai, a me kona mau mea i hoolaaia, a me ke gula a pau i loaa maloko o ka waihona kala ma ka hale o Iehova, a me ka hale o ke alii, a hoouna aku la ia Hazaela ke alii o Suria; a hele aku ia mai Ierusalema aku.
So King Joash of Judah took all the sacred objects dedicated by his fathers—Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and Ahaziah, the kings of Judah—along with his own consecrated items and all the gold found in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he sent them to Hazael king of Aram. So Hazael withdrew from Jerusalem.
19 A o na hana i koe a Ioasa, a o na mea a pau ana i hana'i, aole anei i kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iuda.
As for the rest of the acts of Joash, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
20 A ku mai la kana mau kauwa, a kipi ae la, a pepehi aku la ia Ioasa ma Betemilo, e iho ana i Sila.
And the servants of Joash rose up and formed a conspiracy and killed him at Beth-millo, on the road down to Silla.
21 No ka mea, o Iozakara ke keiki a Simeata, a o Iehozabada ke keiki a Somera, kana mau kauwa, pepehi aku laua ia ia, a make iho la ia; a kanu lakou ia ia me kona mau kupuna ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida: a noho alii iho la o Amazia kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.
His servants Jozabad son of Shimeath and Jehozabad son of Shomer struck him down, and he died. And they buried him with his fathers in the City of David, and his son Amaziah reigned in his place.
