2 Kva 12

1 Hanki Jehu'ma 7ni'a kafuma Israeli vahe kinima nemanigeno'a Joasi'a Juda vahe kinia efore huno, Jerusalemi kumatera 40'a kafufi kinia mani'ne. Joasi nerera'a Besiba kumateti akino agi'a Zibia'e.

When Jehu had been ruling Israel for almost seven years, Joash became the king of Judah. He ruled in Jerusalem for 40 years. His mother was Zibiah, from Beersheba [city].

2 Hagi Joasi'ma kinima efore huno mania knafina maka zupa Ra Anumzamofo avurera fatgo avu'avazanke tro hu'ne. Na'ankure pristi ne' Jehoiada'a antahintahi amino azeri fatgo higeno, anara hu'ne.

All his life, he did what pleased Yahweh, because Jehoiada the priest instructed/taught him.

3 Hianagi mono'ma hunentaza agona kumatmina Joasi'a eri havizana osu'ne. Ana hige'za vahetmimoza ana kumatmintega vu'za Ra Anumzamofontera ofa ome nehu'za, mnanentake zanena kremna vu'naze.

But the places where the people worshiped [Yahweh] on the tops of hills were not destroyed, and they continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense at those places, [instead of at the place that God had chosen for them in Jerusalem].

4 Hanki mago zupa Joasi'a pristi vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne, monote'ma ne-eza eri'za esaza ofane, huvempama hu'nenare'ma aminaku'ma eri'za esaza ofane, zamavesite'ma ami ofama veamo'zama eri'za ra mono nompima e'naza zagoa eritru hiho.

Joash said to the priests, “You must take all the money which the people contribute, both the money they are required to give and the money that they themselves decide to give, as sacred offerings to buy things for the temple.

5 Hagi kenkeno'ma Ra Anumzamofo mono nomo'ma havizama haniana, zagoma kegavama hu'naza vaheteti pristi vahe'mo'za mago'a zagoa eri'za ana mono nona eri fatgo hiho.

Each priest must take the money from people who know him (OR, from one of the treasurers), and he must use that money to repair the temple whenever he sees that there is something that needs to be repaired.”

6 Hianagi pristi vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo mono noma havizama hiana eri fatgo osu'za mani'nageno eno Joasi'ma kinima manino egeno 23ma hia kafure ehanati'ne.

But after Joash had been ruling for almost twenty-three years, the priests still had not repaired anything in the temple.

7 E'ina hu'negu pristi ne' Jehoiadane, mago'a pristi vahera kini ne' Joasi'a kehige'za azageno amanage huno zamasami'ne, Nahigeta Ra Anumzamofo mono noma havizama hu'neana eriso'ea osu'naze? Hagi ana zagoa erinteteta omanita, noma negi'za vahe'mokizmi eri'zaminke'za ra mono nona eri fatgo hiho.

So Joash summoned Jehoiada and the other priests and said to them, “(Why are you not repairing things in the temple?/You should have been repairing things in the temple!) [RHQ] From now on, you must not keep the money that you receive from people who know you (OR, the treasurers). You must give it to the people who will be repairing things in the temple!”

8 Hige'za pristi naga'mo'za, Joasi'ma hiankere ana hugahune hu'za mago zamarimpa hute'za, mono nomo'ma havizama hanigeta eri so'ema hanuna zagoa mago'ene vahepintira zo-ogigahune. Ana nehuta mono noma havizama haniana tagra'a eri fatgoa osugahune hu'naze.

The priests agreed to do that, and they also agreed that they themselves would not do the repair work.

9 Hanki anante pristi ne' Jehoiada'a mago vogisi erino avaza'arera mago ka hagenteteno, ana vogisia kre sramnavu itamofo tva'onte, tamaga kaziga vahe'ma unefrare ante'ne. Hanki Ra Anumzamofo nompima vahe'mo'zama zagoma ome netrageno'a, kahama ufrete'ma kvama hu'nea pristi ne'mo anama ome atraza zagoa erino vogisifina atre'ne.

Then Jehoiada took a chest and bored a hole in the lid. He placed it alongside the altar [for burning incense/sacrifices] that was on the right as anyone enters the temple. The priests who guarded the entrance to the temple put in the box the money that was brought to the temple.

10 Hanki kazageno'ma ana vogisifima zagomo'ma avimatege'za, vugota pristi ne'ene kinimofo eri'za vahe'mo'za e'za ana zagoa Ra Anumzamofo mono nompintira eme hampari'za kupina eriri'naze.

Whenever they saw that there was a lot of money in the chest, the king’s secretary and the Supreme Priest would come and count the money. Then they would put it in bags and tie the bags shut.

11 Anama hute'za ra mono noma havizama hunenige'za eriso'ema hanaza vahe'mokizmi kva nemofo azampi, ana zagoa antegahaze. Hagi Ra Anumzamofo noma eri fatgoma hanaza kamunta vahe'ene noma kisaza vahe'ene,

Then, after they weighed it, they would give the money to the men who supervised the work in the temple. Then the supervisors would use that money to pay the carpenters and builders who did the repair work in the temple,

12 havereti'ma noma negi'za vahe'ene, noma negi'za vahe'ene, asopa noma kiza vahe'enena ana zagoreti mizana sezamante'naze. Hanki mago'a zagoretira, zafa mizanese'za havea mizanese'za, mago'a zanena mizase'za Ra Anumzamofo mono noma havizama hu'neana maka eri fatgo hu'naze.

and the masons and the stone cutters. Also with some of that money they bought timber and stones that had been cut to be used in the repair work, and to pay all the other expenses for the repair work.

13 Hanki anama eri'za e'naza zagoretira, Ra Anumzamofo mono noma eri fatgohu eri'zanteke atre'naze. Ana nehu'za silvareti trohu zuomparamine, tavi'ma erisuhu zotaramine, tima runi runimahu zuomparamine, uferamine, mago'a goliretiro silvareti'ma tro'ma hu'naza zantamina Ra Anumzamofo mono nompima eri'zama eri zantaminena ana zagofintira mizana ose'naze.

But they did not use any of that money [to pay men] to make silver cups or wick trimmers or bowls or trumpets or any other items made of silver or gold to be used in the temple.

14 Hianagi anama Ra Anumzamofo mono nompima eri'za aza zagoa, mono noma eri fatgo haza vahe miza huzmante'naze.

All that money was given to the men who were doing the work of repairing the temple.

15 Hanki zamagra eri'zama kvama hu'ne'za, eri'za vahe'ma zagoma mizama senezmantaza vahe'mo'za fatgo zamavu'zmava hu'za zagoa erihava osu'naze. E'ina hazage'za ugagota kva vahe'mo'za ana zagogura zamantahia onke'naze.

The men who supervised the work always did things honestly, so the king’s secretary and the Supreme Priest never required that the supervisors report what they had spent the money for.

16 Hianagi hazenke'ma eri fatgohu ofane, kumi ofama hunaku'ma eri'za aza zagoa, Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi zagoma nentafina ome onte'nazanki, eri'za pristi vahe ome zami'naze.

But the money that people gave to pay for the wrong things that they had done and the money they gave to purify themselves because of the sins that they had committed was not put in the chest. That money belonged to the priests.

17 Hanki ana knafina Siria kini ne' Hazaeli'a, Gati rankumara hara huzamagatereno eri'ne. Anama huteno'a rukrahe huno Jerusalemi kuma ha' hunteku ke'ne.

At that time, Hazael, the king of Syria, went [with his army] and attacked Gath [city] and conquered it. Then he decided that they would attack Jerusalem.

18 Hagi anama huteno'a Jerusalema ehanatigeno'a, korapa Jehosafati'ma, Jehoramu'ma, Ahazia'ma hu'za Ra Anumzamofoma ami'naza maka zantamine, Joasi'ma ante'nea zantamine, ra mono nompine, kinimofo nompima ante'naza golia ana maka Joasi'a eritru huno Siria kini ne' Hazaelina muse'za ami'ne. Ana musezama Hazaelia enerino'a, Jerusalemi kumara hara huonteno atreno vu'ne.

So Joash, the king of Judah, took all the money that the previous kings, Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, had dedicated to Yahweh. He added some of his own money, and all the gold that was in the rooms in the temple where valuable things were kept/stored, and the gold in his palace, and sent it all to King Hazael, [to (appease him/persuade him to not attack Jerusalem)]. So King Hazael [took his army] away from Jerusalem.

19 Hanki Joasi'ma kinima mani'nea knafima tro'ma hu'nea zamofo, agigenkene, mago'a zama hu'neazamofo agenkea, Juda kini vahe'mokizmi zamagenkema krenentaza avontafepi krente'naze.

[If you want to read more of] what Joash did, [it] is all written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.

20 Hanki mago zupa Joasina agri eri'za vahe'mo'za ahenaku oti'za kea retro hute'za, Sailo kumategama urami'nea kantega Bet-Milo kumate ome ahe fri'naze.

Joash’s officials plotted against him, and two of them killed Joash on the road that goes down to [the] Silla [district]. The two men who did that were Jozabad, the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer. Joash was buried in the place where his ancestors were buried, [in the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then Joash’s son Amaziah became the king of Judah.

21 Hanki Joasi eri'za netrena Simiati ne'mofo Jozabadi'ene, Soma ne'mofo Jehozabatikea Joasina ahe frikeno frige'za, Deviti rankumapi agehe'ima asezmante'nazafi ome asente'naze. Ana hazageno Joasi nemofo Amasia nefa nona erino kinia mani'ne.
