2 Tantara 24

1 Fito taona no niainan’ i Joasy, fony izy vao nanjaka, efa efa-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Zibia, avy any Beri-sheba.

Joas was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Sabia of Bersabee.

2 Ary Joasy nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainan’ i Joiada mpisorona.

And Joas did that which right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jodae the priest.

3 Ary nangalan’ i Joiada vady roa Joasy, dia niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.

And Jodae took to himself two wives, and they bore sons and daughters.

4 Ary nony afaka izany, dia mby ao am-pon i Joasy ny hanamboatra ny tranon’ i Jehovah.

And it came to pass afterward that it came into the heart of Joas to repair the house of the Lord.

5 Dia namory ny mpisorona sy ny Levita izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mandehana ho any amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Joda, ka mamoria vola isan-taona amin’ ny Isiraely rehetra hanamboarana ny tranon’ Andriamanitrareo; ary hafainganonareo ny raharaha. Nefa ny Levita tsy nanafaingana izany.

And he gathered the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out into the cities of Juda, and collect money of all Israel to repair the house of the Lord from year to year, and make haste to speak [of it]. But the Levites hasted not.

6 Ary ny mpanjaka dia nampaka an’ i Joiada, lohany tamin’ ireo, ka nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana no tsy nasainao nitondra ny hetra avy tany Joda sy Jerosalema ny Levita, araka ny didin’ i Mosesy, mpanompon’ i Jehovah sy ny fiangonan’ ny Isiraely ho ao amin’ ny tabernakelin’ ny vavolombelona?

And king Joas called Jodae the chief, and said to him, Why hast thou not looked after the Levites, so that they should bring from Juda and Jerusalem that which was prescribed by Moses the man of God, when he assembled Israel at the tabernacle of witness?

7 Fa ny zanak’ i Atalia, ilay vehivavy ratsy fanahy, efa nandrava ny tranon’ Andriamanitra; ary ny zavatra masìna rehetra tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah koa dia efa nateriny ho an’ ireo Bala.

For Gotholia was a transgressor, and her sons tore down the house of God; for they offered the holy things of the house of the Lord to Baalim.

8 Ary nasain’ ny mpanjaka nanao vata anankiray izy, dia napetrany teo ivelan’ ny vavahadin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah izany.

And the king said, Let a box be made, and let it be put at the gate of the house of the Lord without.

9 Ary nandefa teny eran’ i Joda sy Jerosalema izy mba haterina ho an’ i Jehovah ny hetra izay nasain’ i Mosesy, mpanompon’ Andriamanitra, haloan’ ny Isiraely, fony izy tany an-efitra.

And let [men] proclaim in Juda an in Jerusalem, that [the people] should bring to the Lord, as Moses the servant of God spoke concerning Israel in the wilderness.

10 Dia faly ny mpanapaka rehetra sy ny vahoaka rehetra, ka dia nitondra izany ary nandatsaka azy tao amin’ ny vata ambara-pahatapiny.

And all the princes and all the people gave, and brought in, and cast into the box until it was filled.

11 Ary tamin’ izay andro nitondran’ ny Levita ny vata ho any amin’ ny toniany voatendrin’ ny mpanjaka, raha hitany fa be ny vola, dia avy ny mpanoratry ny mpanjaka sy ny toniany voatendrin’ ny mpisoronabe ka nanaisotra izay rehetra tao amin’ ny vata, dia nitondra ny vata niverina ho eo amin’ ny fitoerany indray. Toy izany no nataony mandrakariva, ka nahavory vola betsaka izy.

And it came to pass, when they brought in the box to the officers of the king by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that the money was more than sufficient, then came the king's scribe, and the officer of the high priest, and emptied the box, and restored it to its place. Thus they did day by day, and collected much money.

12 Ary nomen’ ny mpanjaka sy Joiada ho an’ izay nanao ny raharahan’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah ny vola, ka nanakaraman’ ireo mpipai-bato sy mpandrafitra ary mpanefy vy sy varahina mba hanamboatra ny tranon’ i Jehovah.

And the king and Jodae the priest gave it to the workmen employed in the service of the house of the Lord, and they hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the Lord, also smiths and braziers to repair the house of the Lord.

13 Dia nanao ny mpiasa, ka vita tsara ny asa; ary namboariny ho toy ny teo aloha ny tranon’ Andriamanitra ka nataony mafy.

And the workmen wrought, and the works prospered in their hands, and they established the house of the Lord on its foundation, and strengthened [it].

14 Ary nony vitany izany, dia nentiny teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka sy Joiada ny vola sisa ka nanaovany fanaka ho an’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah, dia fanaka ho enti-manao fanompoam-pivavahana sy manatitra fanatitra ary lovia kely sy fanaka volamena sy volafotsy. Ary nanatitra fanatitra dorana tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah mandrakariva izy tamin’ ny andron’ i Joiada rehetra.

And when they had finished [it], they brought to the king and to Jodae the remainder of the money, and they made vessels for the house of the Lord, vessels of service for whole-burnt-offerings, and gold and silver [censers]: and they offered up whole-burnt-offerings in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Jodae.

15 Fa tratrantitra sy ela niainana Joiada vao maty: telo-polo amby zato taona izy vao maty.

And Jodae grew old, being full of days, and he died, being a hundred and thirty years old at his death.

16 Ary nalevina tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida tao amin’ ny mpanjaka izy, satria nanao soa teo amin’ ny Isiraely ary tamin’ Andriamanitra sy ny tranony koa.

And they buried him with the kings in the city of David, because he had dealt well with Israel, and with God and his house.

17 Ary rehefa maty Joiada, dia avy Ireo mpanapaka ny Joda ka niankohoka teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka. Dia nihaino azy ny mpanjaka.

And it came to pass after the death of Jodae, [that] the princes of Juda went in, and did obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened to them.

18 Ary nandao ny tranon’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, ireo ka nanompo ny Aseraha sy ny sampy dia nisy fahatezerana nihatra tamin’ ny Joda sy Jerosalema noho ny fahadisoany.

And they forsook the house of the Lord God of their fathers, and served the Astartes and idols: and there was wrath upon Juda and Jerusalem in that day.

19 Ary naniraka mpaminany tany aminy Izy hampiverina azy amin’ i Jehovah; dia nananatra azy mafy ireo, nefa tsy nety nihaino izy.

yet he sent prophets to them, to turn them to the Lord; but they hearkened not: and he testified to them, but they obeyed not.

20 Ary Zakaria, zanak’ i Joiada mpisorona, notsindrian’ ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra, dia nitsangana teo amin’ ny avoavo teo anatrehan’ ny vahoaka izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ Andriamanitra: Nahoana ianareo no mandika ny didin’ i Jehovah ka tsy mahita fanambinana? Satria efa nahafoy an’ i Jehovah ianareo, dia nahafoy anareo kosa Izy.

And the Spirit of God came upon Azarias the son of Jodae the priest, and he stood up above the people, and said, Thus saith the Lord, Why do ye transgress the commandments of the Lord? so shall ye not prosper; for ye have forsaken the Lord, and he will forsake you.

21 Dia nanao teti-dratsy ireo ka nitora-bato azy teo amin’ ny kianjan’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah araka ny tenin’ ny mpanjaka.

And they conspired against him, and stone him by command of king Joas in the court of the Lord's house.

22 Toy izany no tsy nahatsiarovan’ i Joasy mpanjaka ny soa nataon’ i Joiada rainy taminy, fa namono ny zanany izy. Ary nony efa ho faty Zakaria, dia niteny hoe: Jehovah anie hijery sy hamaly izao.

So Joas remembered not the kindness which his father Jodae had exercised towards him, but slew his son. And as he died, he said, The Lord look upon [it], and judge.

23 Ary nony efa niherina ny taona, dia avy ny miaramilan’ i Syria hiady taminy; ary tonga tany Joda sy Jerosalema izy, ka matiny avokoa ny mpanapaka rehetra tao amin’ ny olona, ary nampitondrainy ho any amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Damaskosy ny babo rehetra.

And it came to pass after the end of the year, [that] the host of Syria went up against him, and came against Juda and Jerusalem: and they slew all the chiefs of the people among the people, and all their spoils they sent to the king of Damascus.

24 Fa vitsy ny miaramilan’ ny Syriana izay tonga teo, nefa Jehovah nanolotra miaramila maro ho eo an-tànany noho ny nahafoizany an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany. Toy izany no nahatanterahan’ ireo ny famaliana an’ i Joasy.

For the army of Syria came with few men, yet God gave into their hands a very large army, because they had forsaken the God of their fathers; and he brought judgments on Joas.

25 Ary nony nilaozany tamin’ ny faharariany mafy izy, ny mpanompony dia niodina taminy noho ny ran’ ny zanak’ i Joiada mpisorona, ka namono azy teo am-pandriany, dia maty izy; ary naleviny tany an-Tanànan’ i Davida ihany izy, nefa tsy tao amin’ ny fasan’ ny mpanjaka.

And after they had departed from him, when they had left him in sore diseases, then his servants conspired against him because of the blood of the son of Jodae the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died, and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchre of the kings.

26 Ary izao no niodina taminy: Zabada, zanak’ i Simata Amonita, sy Jozabada, zanak’ i Simrita Moabita.

And they that conspired against him were Zabed the son of Samaath the Ammanite, and Jozabed the son of Samareth the Moabite.

27 Ary ny amin’ ny zanany sy ny hamafin’ ny faminaniana nilaza ny loza hanjo azy ary ny nanamboarany ny tranon’ Andriamanitra, indro, efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjaka izany. Ary Amazia zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.

And all his sons, and the five came to him: and the other [matters], behold, they are written in the book of the kings. And Amasias his son reigned in his stead.
