2 Mpanjaka 12

1 Ary tamin’ ny taona fahafito nanjakan’ i Jeho no vao nanjaka izy; ary efa-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Zibia, avy any Beri-sheba.

In the seventh year of Jehu's rule, Jehoash became king; and he was ruling for forty years in Jerusalem; his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.

2 Ary Joasy nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny androny rehetra izay nanoloran’ i Joiada mpisorona saina azy.

Jehoash did what was right in the eyes of the Lord all his days, because he was guided by the teaching of Jehoiada the priest.

3 Nefa kosa ny fitoerana avo tsy mba noravana; ary ny olona mbola namono zavatra hatao fanatitra sady nandoro ditin-kazo manitra teo amin’ ny fitoerana avo ihany.

But the high places were not taken away; the people went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.

4 Ary hoy Joasy tamin’ ny mpisorona: Ny vola amin’ ny zava-masìna rehetra izay nampidirina tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah, dia ny volan’ ny olona voaisa sy ny vola rehetra izay azo tamin’ ny tomban’ olona ary ny vola rehetra Izay nentin’ ny isan-olona an-tsitrapo ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah,

And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the holy things, which comes into the house of the Lord, (the amount fixed for every man's payment, ) and all the money given by any man freely from the impulse of his heart,

5 aoka horaisin’ ny mpisorona amin’ ny olom-pantany avy izany ka hanamboarany ny simba amin’ ny trano, na amin’ inona na amin’ inona no hitany misy simba.

Let the priests take, every man from his friends and neighbours, to make good what is damaged in the house, wherever it is to be seen.

6 Kanjo hatramin’ ny fahatelo amby roa-polo taona nanjakan’ i Joasy mpanjaka dia tsy mbola voavoatry ny mpisorona ihany ny simba tamin’ ny trano.

But in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash, the priests had not made good the damaged parts of the house.

7 Ka dia niantso an’ i Joiada mpisorona sy ny mpisorona sasany koa Joasy mpanjaka ka nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana ianareo no tsy nanamboatra ny simba amin’ ny trano? Koa ankehitriny, aza mandray vola amin’ ny olom-pantatrareo intsony ianareo, fa omeo hanamboarana ny simba amin’ ny trano ny vola.

Then King Jehoash sent for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said to them, Why have you not made good what is damaged in the house? now take no more money from your neighbours, but give it for the building up of the house.

8 Ary ny mpisorona nanaiky tsy handray vola amin’ ny olona intsony sady tsy hanamboatra ny simba amin’ ny trano.

So the priests made an agreement to take no more money from the people, and not to make good what was damaged in the house.

9 Fa Joiada mpisorona naka vata anankiray, dia noloahany ny rakony, ary napetrany teo anilan’ ny alitara tamin’ ny sisiny ankavanana eo am-pidirana amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah; dia nalatsaky ny mpisorona, mpiandry varavarana, tao ny vola rehetra izay nampidirina ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah.

But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and making a hole in the cover of it, put it by the altar, on the right side when one comes into the house of the Lord; and the priests who kept the door put in it regularly all the money which was taken into the house of the Lord.

10 Ary rehefa hitany fa be ny vola tao am-bata, dia niakatra ny mpanoratry ny mpanjaka sy ny mpisoronabe, ka nofonosiny ny vola izay hita tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah sady nisainy.

And when they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king's scribe and the high priest came and put it in bags, noting the amount of all the money there was in the house of the Lord.

11 Ary ny vola voalanja dia natolotr’ ireo ho eo an-tanan’ ny mpiraharaha, dia izay voatendry ny amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah; ary ireo kosa namoaka azy ho amin’ ny mpandrafitra sy ny mpanao trano izay nanamboatra ny tranon’ i Jehovah

And the money which was measured out they gave regularly to those who were responsible for overseeing the work, and these gave it in payment to the woodworkers and the builders who were working on the house of the Lord,

12 sy ho amin’ ny mpandatsa-bato sy ny mpipaika, ary hamidy hazo sy vato voapaika hanamboarana ny simba amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah sy holanina amin’ izay rehetra hanamboarana azy.

And to the wall-builders and the stone-cutters, and to get wood and cut stone for building up the broken parts of the house of the Lord, and for everything needed to put the house in good order.

13 Nefa tsy nisy lovia volafotsy, na antsy, na lovia famafazana, na trompetra, na izay fanaka volamena sy volafotsy na inona na inona, natao ho amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny volafotsy nampidirina tao;

But the money was not used for making silver cups or scissors or basins or wind-instruments or any vessels of gold or silver for the house of the Lord;

14 fa nomeny ny mpiasa izany ka nentin’ ireo nanamboatra ny tranon’ i Jehovah.

But it was all given to the workmen who were building up the house.

15 Ary tsy nampamoahiny ny olona izay notolorany ny vola homena ny mpiasa, fa nahatoky ireo.

And they did not get any statement of accounts from the men to whom the money was given for the workmen, for they made use of it with good faith.

16 Fa ny vola natao fanati-panonerana sy fanatitra noho ny ota dia tsy mba nampidirina tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah, fa an’ ny mpisorona kosa izany.

The money of the offerings for error and the sin-offerings was not taken into the house of the Lord; it was the priests'.

17 Ary tamin’ izany dia niakatra Hazaela, mpanjakan’ i Syria, ary namely an’ i Gata ka nahafaka azy; ary nizotra niakatra hamely an’ i Jerosalema koa izy.

Then Hazael, king of Aram, went up against Gath and took it; and his purpose was to go up to Jerusalem.

18 Ary Joasy, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, naka ny zavatra rehetra izay nohamasinin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda razany, dia Josafata sy Jehorama sy Ahazia, mbamin’ ny zavatra nohamasinin’ ny tenany koa sy ny volamena rehetra hita tamin’ ny rakitra, na ny tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah, na ny tao an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka, ary nampitondrainy ho any amin’ i Hazaela, mpanjakan’ i Syria, izany; ka dia niverina tsy nankany Jerosalema Hazaela.

Then Jehoash, king of Judah, took all the holy things which Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah his fathers, the kings of Judah, had given to the Lord, together with the things he himself had given, and all the gold in the Temple store and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael, king of Aram; and he went away from Jerusalem.

19 Ary ny tantaran’ i Joasy sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda va izany?

Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

20 Ary nitsangana ny mpanompon’ i Joasy ka niodina taminy, dia namono azy tao an-trano Milo, ao am-pidinana mankany Sila.

And his servants made a secret design and put Joash to death at the house of Millo on the way down to Silla.

21 Fa Jozakara, zanak’ i Simata, sy Jozabada, zanak’ i Somera mpanompony namely azy ho faty; dia nalevina tao amin’ ny razany tao an-tanànan’ i Davida izy; ary Amazia zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.

And Jozacar, the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer, his servants, came to him and put him to death; and they put him into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; and Amaziah his son became king in his place.
