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.
Jehoash began to reign in the seventh year of Jehu, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
2 Ary Joasy nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny androny rehetra izay nanoloran’ i Joiada mpisorona saina azy.
Jehoash did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
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.
However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense 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,
Jehoash said to the priests, “All the money of the holy things that is brought into Yahweh’s house, in current money, the money of the people for whom each man is evaluated, and all the money that it comes into any man’s heart to bring into Yahweh’s house,
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 it to them, each man from his donor; and they shall repair the damage to the house, wherever any damage is found.”
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 it was so, that in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash the priests had not repaired the damage to 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 called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said to them, “Why aren’t you repairing the damage to the house? Now therefore take no more money from your treasurers, but deliver it for repair of the damage to the house.”
8 Ary ny mpisorona nanaiky tsy handray vola amin’ ny olona intsony sady tsy hanamboatra ny simba amin’ ny trano.
The priests consented that they should take no more money from the people, and not repair the damage to 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 bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into Yahweh’s house; and the priests who kept the threshold put all the money that was brought into Yahweh’s house into it.
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.
When they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and they put it in bags and counted the money that was found in Yahweh’s house.
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
They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of Yahweh’s house; and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders who worked on Yahweh’s house,
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 masons and the stone cutters, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the damage to Yahweh’s house, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
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 there were not made for Yahweh’s house cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into Yahweh’s house;
14 fa nomeny ny mpiasa izany ka nentin’ ireo nanamboatra ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
for they gave that to those who did the work, and repaired Yahweh’s house with it.
15 Ary tsy nampamoahiny ny olona izay notolorany ny vola homena ny mpiasa, fa nahatoky ireo.
Moreover they didn’t demand an accounting from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work; for they dealt faithfully.
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 for the trespass offerings and the money for the sin offerings was not brought into Yahweh’s house. 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 Syria went up and fought against Gath, and took it; and Hazael set his face 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.
Jehoash king of Judah took all the holy things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own holy things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of Yahweh’s house, and of the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria; 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 that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
20 Ary nitsangana ny mpanompon’ i Joasy ka niodina taminy, dia namono azy tao an-trano Milo, ao am-pidinana mankany Sila.
His servants arose and made a conspiracy, and struck Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that goes 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.
For Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in David’s city; and Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
