< 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, Jehoash reigned. And he reigned for forty years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Zebiah 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 Jehoash did what was right in the sight of the Lord, during all the days that Jehoiada, the priest, taught him.
3 Aka hoi, aole i laweia'ku na heiau: kaumaha aku la na kanaka, a kuni hoi i ka mea ala ma na heiau.
Yet still he did not take away the high places. For the people were still immolating, and burning incense, in the high places.
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,
And Jehoash said to the priests: “All of the money for the holy things, which has been brought into the temple of the Lord from those who pass by, which is offered for the price of a soul, and which they bring into the temple of the Lord willingly, from their own free heart:
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 the priests, according to their ranks, take and use it in order to repair the surfaces of the house, wherever they see anything in need of repair.”
6 A i ka makahiki iwakaluakumamakolu o Iehoasa, aole i hoopaa na kahuna i na wahi naha o ka hale.
And yet, even until the twenty-third year of king Jehoash, the priests did not repair the surfaces of 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.
And king Jehoash called the high priest, Jehoiada, and the priests, saying to them: “Why have you not repaired the surfaces of the temple? Therefore, you may no longer accept money according to your ranks. Instead, return it in order that the temple may be repaired.”
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.
And so the priests were prohibited from accepting any more money from the people to repair the surfaces of the house.
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.
And the high priest, Jehoiada, took a certain chest, and he opened a hole in the top, and he placed it beside the altar, to the right of those who were entering the house of the Lord. And the priests who kept the doors put all the money in it which was being brought into the temple 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.
And when they saw that there was a great amount of money in the chest, the scribe of the king and the high priest went up and poured it out. And they counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord.
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.
And they gave it out, by number and measure, to the hands of those who were over the masons of the house of the Lord. And they weighed it out to the carpenters and masons, to those who were working in the house of the Lord
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.
and restoring the surfaces, and to those who were cutting stones, and buying timber and stones to be cut, so that the repairs to the house of the Lord might be finished: for all that was needed toward the expenses in order to strengthen the house.
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.
Yet truly, from the same money, they did not make for the temple of the Lord water pitchers, or small hooks, or censers, or trumpets, or any vessel of gold or silver, from the money that was brought into the temple 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.
For it was given to those who were doing the work, so that the temple of the Lord might be repaired.
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.
And they did not ration the money to the men who received it in order to distribute it to the artisans. Instead, they bestowed it with faith.
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.
Yet truly, the money for offenses and the money for sins, they did not bring into the temple of the Lord, since it was for 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.
Then Hazael, the king of Syria, ascended and fought against Gath, and he captured it. And he directed his face, so that he might ascend against 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.
For this reason, Jehoash, the king of Judah, took all the sanctified things, which Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, the kings of Judah, had consecrated and which he himself had offered, and all the silver that could be found in the treasuries of the temple of the Lord and in the palace of the king, and he sent it to Hazael, the king of Syria. And so he 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.
Now the rest of the words of Jehoash, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days 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.
Then his servants rose up and conspired among themselves. And they struck down Jehoash, at the house of Millo, on the descent of 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.
For Jozacar, the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died. And they buried him with his fathers in the city of David. And Amaziah, his son, reigned in his place.
