2 Ndị Eze 12
1 Nʼafọ nke asaa, nke ọchịchị Jehu nʼIzrel, ka Joash malitere ịbụ eze na Juda. Iri afọ anọ ka ọ chịrị dịka eze na Jerusalem. Aha nne ya bụ Zibịa onye Bịasheba.
In the seventh year of Jehu began Jehoash to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
2 Joash mere ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị ụbọchị niile nke Jehoiada onye nchụaja ziri ya ihe.
Jehoash did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
3 Ma naanị na o wezugaghị ebe ịchụ aja niile dị nʼugwu. Ndị Juda nọgidere na-achụ aja dị iche iche nʼebe ahụ, na-esurekwa ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ.
However the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
4 Joash sịrị ndị nchụaja, “Nakọtaanụ ego niile a na-ewebata dịka onyinye dị nsọ nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, ya bụ, ego a na-anakọta nʼoge ịgụ mmadụ ọnụ, na ego e webatara maka imezu nkwa ndị mmadụ kwere, na ego e webatara nʼụlọnsọ ukwu dịka onyinye afọ ofufe.
Jehoash said to the priests, "All the money of the holy things that is brought into the house of Jehovah, in current money, the money of the persons for whom each man is rated, and all the money that it comes into any man's heart to bring into the house of Jehovah,
5 Ka onye nchụaja ọbụla site nʼaka otu nʼime ndị na-eche ego nara ego, a ga-eji mezie ihe ọbụla a chọpụtara na o mebiri nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.”
let the priests take it to them, every man from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the breaches of the house, wherever any breach shall be found."
6 Ma nʼafọ nke iri abụọ na atọ nke ọchịchị eze Joash, ọ chọpụtara na ndị nchụaja ahụ emezibeghị ihe mebiri nʼụlọnsọ.
But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.
7 Ya mere, eze Joash kpọrọ Jehoiada, onye nchụaja, kpọkwaa ndị nchụaja ndị ọzọ jụọ ha, “Gịnị mere unu emezibeghị ụlọnsọ a? Site ugbu a gaa nʼihu, unu esitekwala nʼaka ndị na-eche ego anara ego ọzọ, kama, nyefeenụ ya maka iji dozie ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.”
Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said to them, "Why do you not repair the breaches of the house? Now therefore take no more money from your treasurers, but deliver it for the breaches of the house."
8 Ndị nchụaja ahụ kwenyere sị, “Anyị agaghị esitekwa nʼaka ndị mmadụ nara ego ọbụla. Otu a kwa, anyị agaghị emezikwa ụlọnsọ ukwu a nʼonwe anyị.”
The priests consented that they should take no more money from the people, neither repair the breaches of the house.
9 Mgbe ahụ, Jehoiada wetara otu igbe mepuo oghere nʼelu ya, debe ya nʼakụkụ ebe ịchụ aja, nʼaka nri dịka mmadụ na-abata nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị. Ndị nchụaja niile na-eche nche nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọnsọ ahụ na-etinye ego niile e webatara nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị nʼime igbe ahụ.
But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of Jehovah: and the priests who kept the threshold put in it all the money that was brought into the house of Jehovah.
10 Mgbe ọbụla ha hụrụ na igbe ego ahụ ejupụtala nʼego, onye ode akwụkwọ ụlọeze na onyeisi nchụaja na-abịa, gụọ ego ahụ e webatara nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, tinye ha nʼakpa.
It was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags and counted the money that was found in the house of Jehovah.
11 Ha na-ewere ego ahụ a gụrụ ọnụ, nyefee nʼaka ndị ikom ahọpụtara maka ilekọta ndị ọrụ na-emezi ụlọ Onyenwe anyị. Ndị ahụ na-eji ya kwụọ ndị ọkwa ǹka osisi na ndị na-ewu ụlọ,
They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the house of Jehovah: and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders, who worked on the house of Jehovah,
12 na ndị na-edo nkume, na ndị na-awa nkume ụgwọ. Ọ bụ sitekwa nʼego ahụ ka a na-azụta osisi na nkume a wara awa iji dozie ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, na ịkwụ ụgwọ ihe ndị ọzọ e ji emezi ihe niile ekwesiri imezi nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
and to the masons and the stone cutters, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the breaches of the house of Jehovah, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
13 E jikwaghị ego ahụ e webatara nʼụlọnsọ kpụta efere ọlaọcha, ihe e ji akpakepụ ọkụ, efere ịkwọsa mmiri, opi maọbụ ihe ndị ọzọ nke e ji ọlaedo maọbụ ọlaọcha kpụọ maka ụlọnsọ ukwu nke Onyenwe anyị.
But there were not made for the house of Jehovah cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of Jehovah;
14 Ọ bụ ndị na-eje ozi, ndị ji ya rụzie ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị ka e nyere ya.
for they gave that to those who did the work, and repaired therewith the house of Jehovah.
15 O nweghị onye a sịrị ka ọ gụzie otu e si jiri ego ahụ rụọ ọrụ, bụ ndị e nyere ego ahụ maka ịkwụ ndị ọrụ ụgwọ, nʼihi na ha bụ ndị kwesiri ntụkwasị obi.
Moreover they did not demand an accounting from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work; for they dealt faithfully.
16 E webataghị ego niile sitere nʼaja ikpe ọmụma nakwa aja mmehie nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwuu Onyenwe anyị. Ọ bụ ndị nchụaja nwe nke ahụ.
The money for the trespass offerings, and the money for the sin offerings, was not brought into the house of Jehovah: it was the priests'.
17 Nʼoge ahụ, Hazael eze Aram, gara buso Gat agha, lụgbuo ya, dọta ya nʼagha. Emesịa, o chere ihu nʼụzọ Jerusalem imegide ya.
Then Hazael king of Aram went up, and fought against Gath, and took it; and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
18 Ma Joash, bụ eze Juda, chịkọtara ihe niile ahụ bụ nke Jehoshafat, Jehoram na Ahazaya nna ya, ndị bụ eze Juda doro nsọ nye Chineke, chịrịkwa onyinye nke ya onwe ya dokwara nsọ, na ọlaedo niile, na akụ niile e nwere ike ịchọta nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, na nke dị nʼụlọeze, zigara Hazael, bụ eze Aram. Nʼihi ihe ndị a, ọ lara, hapụ ibuso Jerusalem agha.
Jehoash king of Judah took all the holy things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own holy things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and of the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Aram: and he went away from Jerusalem.
19 Akụkọ gbasara ọchịchị eze Joash, na ihe niile o mere, e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe ndị eze Juda niile mere nʼoge ha.
Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
20 Ndị ozi ya gbara izu ọjọọ megide Joash, gbukwaa ya na Bet Milo, nʼụzọ e si aga Sila.
His servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and struck Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla.
21 Ndịisi ozi ahụ gburu ya bụ Jozabad nwa Shimeat, na Jehozabad nwa Shomea. Ọ nwụrụ, e lie ya na ndị nna nna ya ha nʼobodo Devid. Amazaya nwa ya, ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
For Jozabad 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.
