2 Kroniku 24

1 Hagi Joasi'a 7ni'a kafu hu'neno Juda vahe kini efore hu'neankino, 40'a kafufi Jerusalemi kumatera kinia mani'ne. Hagi nerera agi'a Sibiakino agra Beseba kumateti a' mani'ne.

Joash was seven when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for forty years. His mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.

2 Hagi pristi ne' Jehoiada'ma mani'nea knafina, Joasi'a Ra Anumzamofo avurera fatgo avu'avake hu'ne.

Joash did what was right in the Lord's sight during the lifetime of Jehoiada the priest.

3 Hagi Jehoiada'a tare atre Joasina avre amigeno, ne'mofara kasezmante'ne.

Jehoiada arranged for him to marry two wives, and he had sons and daughters.

4 Hagi ana'ma hutegeno'a, Joasi'a Ra Anumzamofo mono no eri so'e huno kinaku agesa antahi'ne.

Some time later, Joash decided to repair the Lord's Temple.

5 Ana nehuno pristi vahetamine Livae vahetaminena kehu atru huno amanage huno zamasami'ne, Maka Juda mopafima me'nea rankumatmimpi vuta Israeli vahepintira kafune kafunema Ra Anumzamofo mono noma eriso'e huta ki'nuna silva zagoa zogita egahaze. Hagi anagema huteno'a, ame huta viho huno huzmante'ne. Hianagi Livae vahe'mo'za kema hiazana hu'za ame hu'za ovu'naze.

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 E'inama hazageno'a kini ne'mo'a ugota pristi ne' Jehoiadana amanage huno antahige'ne, Nahigenka Livae vahetmina ame hunka huozmantanke'za Juda mopafinti'ene Jerusalemi kumapintira Ra Anumzamofo eri'za vahe Mosese'ma hu'nea kantera ante'za takesi zagone, kasegema ante nomofo zagoa zogiza nomaze?

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 Na'ankure kefo avu'ava'ene a' Atalia mofavre'ramimo'za Anumzamofo mono nona tapage hu'za ufre'za, Ra Anumzamofo zanema hu'za eri ruotge'ma hunte'naza zantamina eri'za, Bali havi anumzamofonte mono hunte zantami ome ante'naze.

(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 Anage nehuno kini ne' Joasi'a ke hige'za mago vogisi tro hu'za Ra Anumzamofo mono kuma kafante ante'naze.

The king ordered a collection chest to be made and placed outside the entrance to the Lord's Temple.

9 Hagi Israeli vahetmima hagege kokampima mani'nazageno Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese'ma hige'zama takisima zogi'za eme ami'nazaza hu'za, Judane Jerusalema nemaniza vahetega takisi zagoa erita eho huno kea atregeno vuno eno hu'ne.

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 Higeno maka kva vahe'mo'zane, maka vahe'mo'zanena muse nehu'za ana vogisifina zagoa eri'za eme nentazageno avite'ne.

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 Hagi Livae vahe'mo'zama ana zago vogisima eri'za kini ne'mofo eri'za vahete'ene, zago'are'ma kegavama nehaza vahetema azage'za, ana vahe'mo'za ana zagoma ante vogisima kazama silva zagomo'ma avi'matenege'za ana zagoa ruherafi nente'za, ete eri'za ana kuma kafante ome antetere hu'naze. Maka kna ana huvava nehu'za tusi silva zago zogi'naze.

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 Hagi kini ne' Joasi'ene Jehoiadakea ana zagoa erike Ra Anumzamofo mono noma eri so'ema hu' vahe zamazampi ante'na'e. Ana nehuke noma ki vahetamine, zamazanteti'ma keonkezama tro hu vahe'ene, ainine bronsinema kreno ke'onkezama trohu vahetaminena zagoa mizasezmantazage'za Ra Anumzamofo mono nona eri so'e hu'za ki'naze.

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 Hagi ana eri'za vahe'mo'za hanaveti'za eri'zana e'nerizageno, eri'zamo'a ome vagarege'za ko'ma hu'nazaza hu'za Anumzamofo mono nona eri hanavetiza eri so'e hu'za ki'naze.

The men doing the repairs worked hard and made good progress. They restored God's Temple to its original condition and strengthened it.

14 Hagi ana eri'zama eri vagamarete'za amnema me'nea zago'a eri atru hu'za eri'za kini ne'ene, Jehoiadakizni eme znamizageke, ana zagoa erike Ra Anumzamofo nompima antesaza golire zantamima silvare zantamine tro hu'na'e. Hagi Jehoiadama pristima mani'nea kna'afina, Ra Anumzamofo mono nompina vahe'mo'za ofa eri'za eme kresramna vu vava hu'naze.

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 Hianagi Jehoiada'a 130'a kafu huteno ozafareno fri'ge'za,

Jehoiada grew old and died at the age of 130, having lived a full life.

16 kini vahetmima asenezmantazafi Deviti rankumapi asente'naze. Na'ankure agra Israeli vahete'ene, Anumzamofonte'ene mono nompine agra nagate'enena knare avu'avaza hu'ne.

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 Hagi Jehoiada'ma fritege'za Juda kumatamimpinti kva vahe'mo'za kini ne' Joasinte eza eme kepri hu'za ra agi nemi'za antahintahia eme amizageno, ana antahintahi zamia amage ante'ne.

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 Ana'ma hige'za kini ne'mo'ene vahetamimo'za Ra Anumzana zamagehe'i Anumzamofo mono nona atre'za, zafare'ma antre'za Asera havi anumzamofo amema'ama tro'ma hunte'naza zante'ene, kaza osu havi anumzantminte monora hunte'naze. E'ina hazageno Juda vahe'ene Jerusalemi vahera Anumzamo'a tusi arimpa ahezmante'ne.

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 Ra Anumzamo'a antahintahi zamima zamazeri rukrahe hanige'za Agritega ehogu'ma, kasnampa vahetmina huzmantege'za kefo avu'ava zana atretma Anumzamofonte eho hu'za ome zmasamizanagi, ana kezmia ontahi'naze.

The Lord sent prophets to bring the people back to him and to warn them; but they refused to listen.

20 Ana hazageno Ra Anumzamofo Avamu'mo'a pristi ne' Jehoiada nemofo Zekaraiante hanavetino egeno, ana vahetmimofo zamavuga otino amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Anumzamo'a amanage hie, Nahigeta Ra Anumzamofo kasegea amagera nontazageno, maka zama hazazamo'a knarera nosie? Na'ankure tamagra Ra Anumzamofona tamagena humizageno, Agranena ana zanke huno amagena tamagrira hurami'ne.

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 Hianagi ahe frinaku kea retro hutazageno, kini ne'mo'a ahe friho hige'za Zekaraiana Ra Anumzamofo mono nonkumapi have knonu ahe fri'naze.

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 Hagi Joasi'a Jehoiada'ma knare'zama hunte'nea zankura agesa ontahi, nemofo Zekaraiana ke'a omne vahera ahe fri'ne. Hagi havenknonu'ma Zekaraiama ahazagenoma nefrino'a amanage hu'ne, Amama haza zana Ra Anumzamo'a negeno, Agra'a nona huzmantesie.

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 Hagi ana kafumo'ma vagamaneregeno kasefa kafuma agafama nehigeno'a, Siria sondia vahe'mo'za Juda vahe'ene Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahe'enena ha' eme huzmante'za, maka ranra kva vahetmina zamahe hana nehu'za, maka fenozmia eri'za Damaskasi kini netega atrazageno vu'ne.

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 Juda vahera rama'a sondia vahe manizageno, Siria sondia vahera osi'a vahe' e'nazanagi, Ra Anumzamo'a Siria sondia vahe zamazampi Juda sondia vahera zamavarentege'za hara huzmagatere'naze. Na'ankure Juda vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzana zamafahe'i Anumzamofo zamagena humi'naze. E'i ana agafare Joasina hazenkea ami'naze.

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 Hagi ha'ma huvagamanere'za, Joasina ahe kuzafa nente'za atre'za vu'naze. Ana'ma hazage'za pristi ne' Jehoiada nemofo Zekaraiama ahe fri'nea zante eri'za vahe'aramimo'za ke hugantugma hu'za tafe'are'ma masenere ahe frite'za, Deviti rankumapi ome asente'nazanagi, kini vahe'ma asezmante matipina aseonte'nazanki, rufi ome asente'naze.

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 Hagi kema hugantugama huke Joasima ahe fri'na'a ne'trena, Amoni a'mo Simeati kasente'nea ne' Zabadi'ene, Moapu a'mo Simireti'ma kasente'nea ne' Jehozabatike ahe fri'na'e.

Those who plotted against him were Zabad, son of Shimeath, an Ammonite woman, and Jehozabad, son of Shimrith, a Moabite woman.

27 Hagi kini vahetmimofo zamagenkema krente'naza avontafepi, Joasi mofavrerami zamagenkene, kasnampa vahe'mo'zama agrikuma kasnampa kema hu'naza nanekea krente'naze. Hagi anama hutegeno'a nemofo Amasia Joasi nona erino kinia mani'ne.

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.
