2 Amakhosi 12
1 Ngomnyaka wesikhombisa kaJehu, uJowashi waba yinkosi, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka engamatshumi amane. Ibizo likanina kunguZibiya; yena wayevela eBherishebha.
Le Yehu ƒe fiaɖuɖu le Israel ƒe ƒe adrelia me la, Yoas zu Yuda fia. Eɖu fia le Yerusalem ƒe blaene. Dadae nye Zibia tso Beerseba.
2 UJowashi wenza ukulunga phambi kukaThixo ngayo yonke leyominyaka elaywa nguJehoyada umphristi.
Ewɔ nu dzɔdzɔe le eƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me elabena nunɔlagã Yehoiada fia afɔɖoƒee.
3 Kodwa indawo eziphakemeyo zokukhonzela azidilizwanga, ngakho abantu baqhubeka benikela imihlatshelo yabo khona, njalo betshisa impepha khona.
Gake, megbã nuxeƒewo le toawo dzi o, ale ameawo gasaa vɔ eye wogadoa dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ le afi ma kokoko.
4 UJowashi wathi kubaphristi, “Qoqani yonke imali elethwa ethempelini likaThixo kuyiminikelo engcwele, imali eqoqwe ekubalweni kwabantu, lemali eyamukelwe ngokuzifungela komuntu lemali elethwe ngokuzithandela ethempelini.
Yoas gblɔ na nunɔlawo be, “Miƒo ƒu ga siwo katã wotsɔ vɛ na Yehowa abe nunana kɔkɔewo ene, ga si miekpɔ le amexexlẽ la me, ga si ka mia si, si nye amewo ƒe adzɔgbeɖeɖewo kple lɔlɔ̃nununana si amewo tsɔ va gbedoxɔ la me.
5 Akuthi ngamunye umphristi amukele imali evela kumgcinisikhwama, leyomali izasetshenziswa ukulungisa lapho okonakala khona ethempelini.”
Mina nunɔla ɖe sia ɖe naxɔ ga la tso gadzikpɔla ɖeka si eye miawɔ eŋu dɔ adzra nu sia nu si miekpɔ be egblẽ le gbedoxɔa me la ɖo.”
6 Kodwa kwaze kwaba ngumnyaka wamatshumi amabili lemithathu wokubusa kwenkosi uJowashi, abaphristi babelokhu bengalilungisanga ithempeli.
Ke le eƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃lia me la, nunɔlawo medzra gbedoxɔ la ɖo o.
7 Ngakho inkosi uJowashi yabiza uJehoyada umphristi kanye labanye abaphristi yababuza yathi, “Kungani lingalungisi lapho okwadilika khona ethempelini? Lingabe lisathatha enye imali kumgcinisikhwama, kodwa liyilethe ukuze kulungiswe ethempelini.”
Ale Yoas yɔ Yehoiada kple nunɔla bubuawo eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Nu ka ta miewɔ naneke tso gbedoxɔ la ŋu kpɔ o? Azɔ la, migawɔ ga aɖeke ŋu dɔ na miawo ŋutɔ ƒe nuhiahiãwo o. Tso azɔ dzi yina la, ele be miawɔ ga ɖe sia ɖe ŋu dɔ hena gbedoxɔ la dzadzraɖo.”
8 Abaphristi bavuma ukuthi abasayikuthatha enye imali ebantwini njalo abasayikulungisa ithempeli bona ngokwabo.
Ale nunɔlawo ɖo be yewoaɖo ga tɔxɛ aɖe da ɖi si mato yewoƒe asi me o, ale be yewomawɔ eŋu dɔ na yewo ŋutɔ ƒe nuhiahiãwo o.
9 UJehoyada umphristi wasethatha ibhokisi, wabhoboza isikhala esivalweni salo, waselibeka eceleni kwe-alithari, ngakwesokudla nxa umuntu engena ethempelini likaThixo. Abaphristi bokulinda emnyango basebefaka ebhokisini yonke imali eyayilethwa ethempelini likaThixo.
Nunɔla Yehoiada ɖe do gã aɖe ɖe tsitrenuɖaka gã aɖe tame eye wòtsɔe da ɖe vɔsamlekpui si le gbedoxɔ la ƒe mɔnu la ƒe ɖusime. Ʋɔtrua ŋu dzɔlawo tsɔa ga siwo ameawo tsɔna vɛ la dea eme.
10 Besithi bangabona isinengi ebhokisini, babize unobhala wesigodlweni kanye lomphristi omkhulu, bafike bayibale yonke engenileyo ethempelini likaThixo babesebeyigqiba emigodleni.
Ne tsitrenuɖaka la yɔ la, fia ƒe gaŋutinyaŋlɔla kple nunɔlagã la xlẽa ga la, denɛ kotokuwo me
11 Kwakusithi imali isibaliwe kukhitshwe eyokubhadala ababekhethelwe ukukhangela umsebenzi ethempelini. Ngaleyomali babhadala labo ababesebenza ethempelini likaThixo, ababazi kanye labakhi

13 Imali eyalethwa ethempelini likaThixo kayisetshenziswanga ukwenza imiganu yesiliva, lezindlawu, lemiganu yokuchela, lamacilongo loba ezinye izinto zegolide lezesiliva;

15 Akudingakalanga ukuthi bacele imvumo kulabo ababanika imali yokubhadala ababesebenza, ngoba babesebenza beyiphatha ngokuthembeka okupheleleyo.
Womebia tso dɔdzikpɔlawo si be woawɔ akɔnta na ame aɖeke o elabena wonye nuteƒewɔlawo.
16 Imali yeminikelo yecala leminikelo yesono kayilethwanga ethempelini likaThixo ngoba yayingeyabaphristi.

17 Ngalesosikhathi uHazayeli inkosi yase-Aramu wayahlasela iGathi, wayithumba, wasezimisela ukuthumba iJerusalema,
Fia Hazael, Siria fia ho aʋa ɖe Gat ŋu le ɣeyiɣi sia me, ɖu edzi eye wòɖe zɔ ɖe Yerusalem hã dzi.
18 kodwa uJowashi inkosi yakoJuda wathatha zonke impahla ezingcwele ezazinikelwe ngokhokho bakhe uJehoshafathi loJehoramu lo-Ahaziya, amakhosi akoJuda lalezozipho ezazinikelwe nguye ngokwakhe, legolide lonke elatholakala ethempelini likaThixo lasesigodlweni, wazithumela kuHazayeli inkosi yase-Aramu. UHazayeli wasesuka eJerusalema.
