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, the reign of Joash began; he reigned for forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zibiah, of Beersheba.
2 In moul lal nufon el oru ma LEUM GOD El insewowo kac mweyen mwet tol Jehoiada el lotel.
Joash did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh all the time, because Jehoiada the priest was instructing him.
3 Tusruktu tiana kunausyukla nien alu lun mwet pegan, ac mwet uh srakna orek kisa ac akosak mwe keng we.
But the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
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.
Joash said to the priests, “All the money that is brought in as sacred offerings into the house of Yahweh, that money for which each person is assessed—whether it is the money collected in the census, or the money received from personal vows, or the money brought in by people motivated by Yahweh in their hearts to give—
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.
the priests should receive the money from one of their treasurers and repair whatever damage is 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.
But by the twenty-third year of King Joash, the priests had not repaired anything in 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.”
Then King Joash called for Jehoiada the priest and for the other priests; he said to them, “Why have you not repaired anything in the temple? Now take no more money from your taxpayers, but take what has been collected for repairs of the temple and give it to those who can make the repairs.”
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 consented to take no more money from the people and 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.
Instead, Jehoiada the priest took a chest, bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of Yahweh. The priests who were guarding the temple entrance put into it all the money that was brought to the house of Yahweh.
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 much money in the chest, the king's scribe and the high priest would come and put the money in bags and then count it, the money found in the temple of Yahweh.
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,
They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of men who took care of the temple of Yahweh. They paid it out to the carpenters and the builders who worked on the temple of Yahweh,
12 mwet akmusra, mwet tufahl eot, ac molela sak ac eot ma orekmakinyuk, ac in moli ma nukewa ma eneneyuk saya.
and to the masons and the stonecutters, for buying timber and cutting stone to repair the temple of Yahweh, and for all that was needed to be paid to repair it.
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.
But the money that was brought into the house of Yahweh did not pay to make for it any silver cups, lamp trimmers, basins, trumpets, or any gold or silver furnishing.
14 Orekmakinyukla nufon in moli mwet orekma, ac in moli kufwa nu ke akwoye lohm.
They gave this money to those who did the work of repairing the house of Yahweh.
15 Mwet karingin orekma uh elos arulana suwohs ke orekma lalos, pwanang tia eneneyuk elos in akpwayei ouiyen orekma lalos ke mani.
In addition, they did not require the money paid for repairs to be accounted for by the men who received it and paid it to the workmen, because these men were honest.
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.
But the money for the guilt offerings and the money for the sin offerings was not brought into the temple of Yahweh, because 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.
Then Hazael king of Aram attacked and fought against Gath, and took it. Hazael then turned 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.
Joash king of Judah took all the things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had set apart, and what he had set apart, and all the gold that was found in the storerooms of the houses of Yahweh and of the king and he sent them to Hazael king of Aram. Then Hazael went away from Jerusalem.
19 Ma nukewa saya ma Tokosra Joash el orala simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Judah].
As for the other matters concerning Joash, all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events 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.
His servants arose and plotted together; they attacked Joash in Beth Millo, on the way that goes 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.
Jozabad son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad son of Shomer, his servants, attacked him, and he died. They buried Joash with his ancestors in the city of David, and Amaziah, his son, became king in his place.
