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, the reign of Joash began; he reigned for forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zibiah, of Beersheba.
2 A tika tonu nga mahi a Iehoaha ki te titiro a Ihowa i ona ra katoa i akona ai ia e Iehoiara tohunga.
Joash did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh all the time, because Jehoiada the priest was instructing 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.
But the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned 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,
Joash said to the priests, “All the money that is brought in as sacred offerings into the house of Yahweh, that money for which each person is assessed—whether it is the money collected in the census, or the money received from personal vows, or the money brought in by people motivated by Yahweh in their hearts to give—
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 should receive the money from one of their treasurers and repair whatever damage is found in the temple.”
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 by the twenty-third year of King Joash, the priests had not repaired anything in the temple.
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 King Joash called for Jehoiada the priest and for the other priests; he said to them, “Why have you not repaired anything in the temple? Now take no more money from your taxpayers, but take what has been collected for repairs of the temple and give it to those who can make the repairs.”
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.
So the priests consented to take no more money from the people and not repair the temple themselves.
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.
Instead, Jehoiada the priest took a chest, bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of Yahweh. The priests who were guarding the temple entrance put into it all the money that was brought to the house of Yahweh.
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.
Whenever they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king's scribe and the high priest would come and put the money in bags and then count it, the money found in the temple of Yahweh.
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,
They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of men who took care of the temple of Yahweh. They paid it out to the carpenters and the builders who worked on the temple of Yahweh,
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 stonecutters, for buying timber and cutting stone to repair the temple of Yahweh, and for all that was needed to be paid 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:
But the money that was brought into the house of Yahweh did not pay to make for it any silver cups, lamp trimmers, basins, trumpets, or any gold or silver furnishing.
14 I hoatu hoki ki nga kaimahi i te mahi, hei hanga i nga wahi pakaru o te whare o Ihowa.
They gave this money to those who did the work of repairing the house of Yahweh.
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.
In addition, they did not require the money paid for repairs to be accounted for by the men who received it and paid it to the workmen, because these men were honest.
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.
But the money for the guilt offerings and the money for the sin offerings was not brought into the temple of Yahweh, because 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.
Then Hazael king of Aram attacked and fought against Gath, and took it. Hazael then turned to attack 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.
Joash king of Judah took all the things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had set apart, and what he had set apart, and all the gold that was found in the storerooms of the houses of Yahweh and of the king and he sent them to Hazael king of Aram. Then Hazael went away 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?
As for the other matters concerning Joash, all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events 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.
His servants arose and plotted together; they attacked Joash in Beth Millo, on the way that goes 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.
Jozabad son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad son of Shomer, his servants, attacked him, and he died. They buried Joash with his ancestors in the city of David, and Amaziah, his son, became king in his place.
