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.
Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.
2 Ary Joasy nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainan’ i Joiada mpisorona.
And Joash did that which was right in the sight of YHWH all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
3 Ary nangalan’ i Joiada vady roa Joasy, dia niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy izy.
And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat 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 after this, that Joash was minded to repair the house of YHWH.
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 together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your Elohim from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it 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 the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of YHWH, and of the congregation of Israel, for 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 the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of Elohim; and also all the dedicated things of the house of YHWH did they bestow upon Baalim.
8 Ary nasain’ ny mpanjaka nanao vata anankiray izy, dia napetrany teo ivelan’ ny vavahadin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah izany.
And at the king's commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of YHWH.
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 they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to YHWH the collection that Moses the servant of Elohim laid upon 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 rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.
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.
Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
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 Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of YHWH, and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of YHWH, and also such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of YHWH.
13 Dia nanao ny mpiasa, ka vita tsara ny asa; ary namboariny ho toy ny teo aloha ny tranon’ Andriamanitra ka nataony mafy.
So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of Elohim in his state, 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 the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of YHWH, even vessels to minister, and to offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of YHWH continually all the days of Jehoiada.
15 Fa tratrantitra sy ela niainana Joiada vao maty: telo-polo amby zato taona izy vao maty.
But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.
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 in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward Elohim, and toward his house.
17 Ary rehefa maty Joiada, dia avy Ireo mpanapaka ny Joda ka niankohoka teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka. Dia nihaino azy ny mpanjaka.
Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto 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 left the house of YHWH Elohim of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.
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 bring them again unto YHWH; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.
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 Elohim came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith Elohim, Why transgress ye the commandments of YHWH, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken YHWH, he hath also forsaken 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 stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of YHWH.
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.
Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, YHWH look upon it, and require it.
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 at the end of the year, that the host of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto 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 the Syrians came with a small company of men, and YHWH delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken YHWH Elohim of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash.
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 when they were departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases, ) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada 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 sepulchres of the kings.
26 Ary izao no niodina taminy: Zabada, zanak’ i Simata Amonita, sy Jozabada, zanak’ i Simrita Moabita.
And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess.
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.
Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens laid upon him, and the repairing of the house of Elohim, behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
