2 Kingi 12

1 No te whitu o nga tau o Iehu i kingi ai a Iehoaha; a e wha tekau ona tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama: a, ko te ingoa o tona whaea, ko Tipia o Peerehepa.

In the seventh year of Jehu became Jehoash king; and forty years did he reign in Jerusalem; and the name of his mother was Zibyah of Beer-sheba'.

2 A tika tonu nga mahi a Iehoaha ki te titiro a Ihowa i ona ra katoa i akona ai ia e Iehoiara tohunga.

And Jehoash did what is right in the eyes of the Lord all his days, that Yehoyada' the priest instructed him.

3 Ko nga wahi tiketike ia kihai i whakakahoretia; i patu whakahere tonu te iwi, i tahu whakakakara ki runga ki nga wahi tiketike.

Only the high-places were not removed: the people as yet sacrificed and burnt incense on the high-places.

4 Na i mea a Iehoaha ki nga tohunga, Ko te moni katoa o nga mea e whakatapua ana, e kawea ana ki te whare o Ihowa, ko te moni o nga tangata e haere atu ana i te tauanga, ko te moni e whakaritea ai tera, tera, ko nga moni katoa e puta ake i roto i t e ngakau o tetahi kia kawea mai ki roto ki te whare o Ihowa,

And Jehoash said to the priests, all the money of the dedicated things that may be brought into the house of the Lord, the money of every one that passeth the numbering, the money any man is valued at, and all the money that cometh into any man's heart to bring into the house of the Lord,

5 Me tango mai e nga tohunga, e tera, e tera i tana tangata i mohio ai: a ma ratou e hanga nga wahi pakaru o te whare i nga wahi katoa e kitea ai he pakaru.

The priests shall take to themselves, every man from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach may be found.

6 I te rua tekau ma toru ia o nga tau o Kingi Iehoaha kahore ano i hanga nga wahi pakaru o te whare e nga tohunga.

But it happened, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.

7 Katahi ka karanga a Kingi Iehoaha ki a Iehoiara tohunga, ki era atu tohunga hoki, a ka mea ki a ratou, He aha koutou te hanga ai i nga wahi pakaru o te whare? Na kati koutou te tango moni i a koutou tangata i mohio ai, engari me homai mo nga wahi pakaru o te whare.

Then called king Jehoash for Yehoyada' the priest, and the [other] priests, and he said unto them, Wherefore do ye not repair the breaches of the house? and now ye shall take no more money from your acquaintances, but ye shall give it up [at once] for the breaches of the house.

8 Na whakaae ana nga tohunga kia kaua ratou e tango moni mai ano i te iwi, kia kaua hoki e hanga i nga wahi pakaru o te whare.

And the priests consented neither to take any more money from the people, nor to repair the breaches of the house.

9 Otiia i mau a Iehoiara tohunga ki tetahi pouaka, a pokaia ana e ia he kohao ki tona taupoki, whakatakotoria ana ki te taha o te aata, ki te taha ki matau, i te mea ka haere tetahi ki te whare o Ihowa: a tukua iho ana ki roto e nga tohunga tiaki o te tatau nga moni katoa i kawea mai ki te whare o Ihowa.

But Yehoyada' the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in its lid, and he placed it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the Lord: and the priests that kept watch at the threshold put therein all the money, that was brought into the house of the Lord.

10 A, ka kitea kua nui te moni i roto i te pouaka, na ka haere te kaituhituhi a te kingi raua ko te tino tohunga, ka whaowhina ki roto ki nga peeke, a taua ana te moni i kitea i roto i te whare o Ihowa.

And it happened, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high-priest came up, and they put up in bags, after having counted, the money that was found in the house of the Lord.

11 Na hoatu ana e ratou te moni i paunatia ra ki nga ringa o nga kaimahi i te mahi, o nga kaitohutohu i te whare o Ihowa: a na ratou i utu atu ki nga kamura, ki nga kaihanga i mahia ai te whare o Ihowa,

And they gave the money, after it was counted, into the hands of those who overlooked the workmen, that had been appointed as overseers of the house of the Lord: and they laid it out to the carpenters and to the builders, that wrought on the house of the Lord,

12 Ki nga kaimahi kohatu, ki nga kaitarai kohatu; hei hoko ano i nga rakau, i nga kohatu tarai, hei hanga mo nga wahi pakaru o te whare o Ihowa, hei utu hoki mo nga mea katoa i riro hei hanga mo te whare.

And to the masons, and the hewers of stone, and for the purchase of timber and hewn stones to repair the breaches of the house of the Lord, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.

13 Otiia kihai i hanga mo te whare o Ihowa he kapu hiriwa, he kuku, he peihana, he tetere, he oko koura, he oko hiriwa, ki te moni i kawea mai ki te whare o Ihowa:

Nevertheless there were not made for the house of the Lord bowls of silver, knives, basins, trumpets, all kinds of vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, from the money that was brought into the house of the Lord;

14 I hoatu hoki ki nga kaimahi i te mahi, hei hanga i nga wahi pakaru o te whare o Ihowa.

But they gave it to those who overlooked the workmen, and they repaired therewith the house of the Lord.

15 Kihai hoki i uiuia nga meatanga a aua tangata i hoatu nei e ratou te moni ki o ratou ringa kia hoatu ki nga kaimahi i te mahi; he pono hoki ta ratou mahi.

And they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to give it to those who overlooked the workmen; for they acted in good faith.

16 Ko te moni mo te he, me te moni mo te hara, kihai i kawea mai e ratou ki te whare o Ihowa: i nga tohunga tena.

The money for trespass-offerings and the money for sin-offerings was not brought into the house of the Lord: it belonged to the priests.

17 Katahi ka haere a Hataere kingi o Hiria, whawhai ana ki Kata, a horo ana i a ia: na ka anga te kanohi o Hataere, ka mea ki te haere ki runga, ki Hiruharama.

At that time Chazael the king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and captured it: and Chazael directed his face to go up against Jerusalem.

18 Na ka mau a Iehoaha kingi o Hura ki nga mea tapu katoa i whakatapua e ona matua, e Iehohapata, e Iehorama, e Ahatia, e nga kingi o Hura, ki ana mea tapu ano, ki te koura katoa i kitea i roto i nga toa taonga o te whare o Ihowa, o te whare hoki o te kingi, a tukua ana ki a Hataere kingi o Hiria: a haere atu ana ia i Hiruharama.

Then took Jehoash the king of Judah all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and Achazyahu, his fathers, the kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the king's house, and sent it to Chazael the king of Syria: and he withdrew from Jerusalem.

19 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Ioaha me ana mahi katoa, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?

And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.

20 Na ka whakatika ana tangata, a whakatupuria ana e ratou he he mona, a patua iho a Ioaha ki te whare o Miro i te heketanga iho ki Hira.

And his servants arose, and formed a conspiracy, and smote Joash in Beth-millo, which [lieth on the road] that goeth down to Silla.

21 Na ana tangata hoki, na Iotaka tama a Himeata raua ko Iehotapara tama a Homere ia i patu, a mate iho; na tanumia ana ia ki ona matua ki te pa o Rawiri: a ko Amatia, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.

And Yozachar the son of Shim'ath, and Yehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amazyah his son became king in his stead.
