Luo Tokosra 12
1 In yac akitkosr ke pacl Jehu el tokosra lun acn Israel, Joash el tokosra lun Judah, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac angngaul. Nina kial pa Zibiah, sie mutan ke siti Beersheba.
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 In moul lal nufon el oru ma LEUM GOD El insewowo kac mweyen mwet tol Jehoiada el lotel.
And Joash did what was right in the eyes of the LORD all the days he was instructed by Jehoiada the priest.
3 Tusruktu tiana kunausyukla nien alu lun mwet pegan, ac mwet uh srakna orek kisa ac akosak mwe keng we.
Nevertheless, the high places were not removed; the people continued sacrificing and burning incense there.
4 Joash el pangoneni mwet tol ac sap elos in liyaung na mani ma orekeni ke pacl in kisa ke Tempul, kewana mani ma pakpuki nu ke kisa, ac mani ma mwet uh sang ke insewowo.
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 Ma kunen kais sie mwet tol in liyaung mani ma orekeni sin mwet el karingin. Mani inge ma ac orekmakinyuk nu ke akwoyeyen acn musalla ke Tempul, ke pacl eneneyuk uh.
Let every priest receive it from his constituency, and let it be used to repair any damage found in the temple.”
6 Tusruktu ke yac aklongoul tolu ke pacl in leum lal Joash, mwet tol ah soenna orala kutu orekma in akwoyela acn musalla ke Tempul.
By the twenty-third year of the reign of Joash, however, the priests had not yet repaired the damage to the temple.
7 Ouinge Joash el pangnol Jehoiada ac mwet tol sayal ac siyuk selos, “Efu ku kowos tiana akwoye acn musalla ke Tempul uh? Ingela, kowos fah tia sifil liyaung mani kowos orani uh. Use in sang akwoyela Tempul.”
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 Mwet tol elos insese in tia sifil sruok mani uh, ac elos insese pac tuh elos ac tia mukuikui ke akwoye Tempul uh.
So the priests agreed that they would not receive money from the people and that they would not repair the temple themselves.
9 Na Jehoiada el eis box se ac orala pat se ke kafa ah, ac likiya pe loang se ma oan ke layen layot ke mwet uh ac utyak nu in Tempul uh. Mwet tol su orekma ke mutunoa uh ac sang mani nukewa ma orekeni sin mwet alu uh nu in box se inge.
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 Pacl nukewa ma ac yohk mani orekeni nu in box sac, na mwet sim lun tokosra ac mwet Tol Fulat ac tuku ac munanla silver uh in kofelik, ac pauniya.
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 Tukun elos simusla lupan mani silver inge, na ac itukyang nu sin mwet ma kol orekma ke Tempul an, ac ma inge ac sang moli kamtu, mwet musa,
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 mwet akmusra, mwet tufahl eot, ac molela sak ac eot ma orekmakinyuk, ac in moli ma nukewa ma eneneyuk saya.
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 Tusruktu mani inge tia orekmakinyuk in sang moli mwet orek cup silver, pol, mwe ukuk, ku kufwa in akwoye lam, ku kutena kain ma orek ke silver ku gold.
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 Orekmakinyukla nufon in moli mwet orekma, ac in moli kufwa nu ke akwoye lohm.
Instead, it was paid to those doing the work, and with it they repaired the house of the LORD.
15 Mwet karingin orekma uh elos arulana suwohs ke orekma lalos, pwanang tia eneneyuk elos in akpwayei ouiyen orekma lalos ke mani.
No accounting was required from the men who received the money to pay the workmen, because they acted with integrity.
16 Mani ma orekeni ke mwe kisa in akfalye ma koluk lukma, ku mwe kisa ke ma koluk, tia wi itukyang nu in box sac, mweyen ma inge ma lun mwet tol.
The money from the guilt offerings and sin offerings was not brought into the house of the LORD; it belonged to the priests.
17 In pacl sac, Tokosra Hazael lun Syria el mweuni siti Gath ac eisla acn we, na el wotela mu el ac mweuni pac acn Jerusalem.
At that time Hazael king of Aram marched up and fought against Gath and captured it. Then he decided to attack Jerusalem.
18 Tokosra Joash lun Judah el orani mani in kisa nukewa ma tuh orekeni ac kisaiyukla nu sin LEUM GOD sel Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, ac Ahaziah, su tokosra meet lukel, ac sang ma inge weang mwe sang lal sifacna wi gold nukewa ma oan in nien fwil mwe kasrup in Tempul ac in lohm sin tokosra, ac supwala nufon ma inge in mwe lung nu sel Tokosra Hazael. Na Hazael el us mwet mweun lal ac som liki acn Jerusalem.
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 Ma nukewa saya ma Tokosra Joash el orala simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Judah].
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 Mwet pwapa lal Joash elos orala pwapa lukma lalos ac unilya ke lohm se ke acn koaneyukla kutulap in Jerusalem ke inkanek soko ma oatula nu Silla.
And the servants of Joash rose up and formed a conspiracy and killed him at Beth-millo, on the road down to Silla.
21 Jozacar wen natul Shimeath, ac Jehozabad wen natul Shomer, pa sringlilya el misa. Joash el pukpuki inkulyuk lun tokosra in Siti sel David, ac Amaziah wen natul, el aolul in tokosra.
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.
