2 Whakapapa 24

1 E whitu nga tau o Ioaha i a ia i kingi ai; a e wha tekau nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea, ko Tipia, no Peerehepa.

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 Na he tika nga mahi a Ioaha ki te titiro a Ihowa i nga ra katoa o te tohunga, o Iehoiara.

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

3 A i tangohia e Iehoiara he wahine mana, tokorua; a ka whanau ana tama, ana tamahine.

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

4 I muri i tenei ka whai ngakau a Ioaha ki te whakahou i te whare o Ihowa.

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

5 A ka oti nga tohunga me nga Riwaiti te huihui e ia, ka mea ia ki a ratou, Haere ki nga pa o Hura, ki te kohikohi moni mai i a Iharaira katoa hei whakahou i te whare o to koutou Atua, i tenei tau, i tenei tau; ma koutou hoki e whakahohoro taua mah i. Heoi kihai i hohoro i nga Riwaiti.

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 Na ka karanga te kingi ki a Iehoiara, ko te upoko hoki ia, a ka mea ki a ia, He aha koe te mea ai ki nga Riwaiti kia mauria mai i a Hura, i Hiruharama, te mea i kohikohia, ta Mohi pononga a Ihowa me ta te whakaminenga o Iharaira mo te tapenakara o te whakaaturanga?

And king Joas called Jodae the chief, and said to him, Why have you 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 Na nga tama hoki a taua wahine kino a Ataria i wahi te whare o te Atua; a ko nga mea tapu katoa o te whare o Ihowa, meinga ana e ratou mo nga Paara.

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 Heoi ka korero te kingi, a ka hanga he pouaka e ratou, whakaturia ana ki waho, ki te kuwaha o te whare o Ihowa.

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 Na, ka pa te karanga puta noa i a Hura, i Hiruharama, kia kawea mai ki a Ihowa te kohikohi i whakaritea e Mohi, e ta te Atua pononga, ki a Iharaira i te koraha.

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 Na koa tonu nga rangatira katoa me te iwi katoa, a kawea ana mai e ratou, maka ana ki roto ki te pouaka a rite noa.

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

11 A, i nga wa e kawea mai ai e nga Riwaiti te pouaka ki te whare takoha o te kingi, a ka kitea kua rahi te moni, ka haere mai te kaituhituhi a te kingi raua ko te tangata a te tino tohunga, ka ringihia e raua nga mea i roto i te pouaka, na ka tang o raua, ka whakahoki ano ki tona wahi. Pena tonu ratou i ia ra, i ia ra, a nui atu te moni i kohikohia.

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 A hoatu ana e te kingi raua ko Iehoiara ki nga tangata i te mahi o nga mea mo te whare o Ihowa; a na ratou i utu nga kaimahi kohatu, nga kamura, hei whakahou i te whare o Ihowa, nga kaimahi hoki i te rino, i te parahi, hei whakaora mo te whare o Ihowa.

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 Heoi ka mahi nga kaimahi, a ka oti te mahi i a ratou; na kua meinga e ratou kia rite ki to mua ahua te tu o te whare o te Atua, kia kaha hoki.

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 A, ka oti i a ratou, ka kawea te toenga o te moni ki te aroaro o te kingi raua ko Iehoiara, a ka waiho hei hanga i etahi oko mo te whare o Ihowa, i nga oko minita, i nga mea mo nga patunga tapu, i nga koko, i nga oko koura, hiriwa; a he whakaeke tonu ta ratou i te tahunga tinana i te whare o Ihowa i nga ra katoa o Iehoiara.

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 Otiia kua koroheketia a Iehoiara, kua maha ona ra, a ka mate: kotahi rau e toru tekau ona tau i tona matenga.

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

16 A tanumia ana ia ki te pa o Rawiri ki te taha o nga kingi; he pai hoki no tana mahi ki a Iharaira, ki te Atua hoki, a ki tona whare.

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 Na i muri i te matenga o Iehoiara ka haere mai nga rangatira o Hura, a ka piko ki te kingi. Na rongo tonu te kingi ki a ratou.

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 listened to them.

18 Na whakarerea ake e ratou te whare o Ihowa, o te Atua o o ratou matua, mahi ana ratou ki nga Aherimi, ki nga whakapakoko. Na kua pa he riri ki a Hura, ki Hiruharama, mo tenei he o ratou.

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 Heoi unga ana e ia nga poropiti ki a ratou hei whakahoki i a ratou ki a Ihowa, a whakawa ana ratou i a ratou: otiia kihai i rongo.

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

20 Na kua tau te wairua o te Atua ki te tohunga, ki a Hakaraia tama a Iehoiara; a ka tu ia ki runga ake i te iwi, ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Atua, he aha koutou ka takahi ai i nga whakahau a Ihowa? ma konei hoki ka kore ai koutou e ka ke. Kua whakarerea nei e koutou a Ihowa na kua whakarerea hoki koutou e ia.

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

21 Na ka whakatupuria e ratou he he mona, a akina ia ki te kohatu, na te kingi i whakahau, ki te marae o te whare o Ihowa.

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

22 Heoi kihai a Kingi Ioaha i mahara ki te aroha i whakaputaina e tona papa, e Iehoiara, ki a ia: heoi patua ana e ia tana tama. A i tona matenga, ka mea ia, Ma Ihowa e titiro, e rapu utu.

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

23 Na taka rawa ake te tau, ka whakaekea ia e te taua o Hiria; a haere ana mai ratou ki a Hura, ki Hiruharama, whakangaromia ana e ratou nga rangatira katoa o te iwi i roto i te iwi, tukua ana e ratou o ratou taonga katoa kia kawea ki te kingi o Ra mahiku.

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 killed all the chiefs of the people among the people, and all their spoils they sent to the king of Damascus.

24 He tokoiti hoki nga tangata o te taua o nga Hiriani i haere mai nei; a hoatu ana e Ihowa te ope nui rawa ki o ratou ringa, mo ratou i whakarere i a Ihowa, i te Atua o o ratou matua. Heoi tutuki ana i a ratou he whakawa mo Ioaha.

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 A, no to ratou haerenga atu i a ia, i mahue iho hoki ia i a ratou he nui ona mate, ka whakatupuria e ana tangata he he mona, mo nga toto o nga tama a Iehoiara tohunga, a patua ana ia e ratou, ki runga ki tona moenga, a mate iho: na tanumia ana i a e ratou ki te pa o Rawiri, otiia kahore ki nga tanumanga o nga kingi.

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 killed 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 Na ko nga tangata nana i whakatupu te he mona; ko Tapara, tama a tetahi wahine o Amona, a Himeata, ko Iehotapara, tama a tetahi wahine o Moapa, a Timiriti.

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

27 Na, ko ana tama, me te nui o nga taimaha i utaina ki runga ki a ia, me te hanganga i te whare o te Atua, nana, kei te tuhituhi ena i roto i nga korero o te pukapuka o nga kingi; a ko tana tama, ko Amatia, te kingi i muri i a ia.

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.
