2 Seenaa 24
1 Yooʼaash yeroo mootii taʼetti nama umuriin isaa waggaa torbaa ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa afurtama ni bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Ziibiyaa ture; isheenis nama Bersheebaa turte.
Joash [is] a son of seven years in his reigning, and he has reigned forty years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Zibiah of Beer-Sheba.
2 Yooʼaash bara Yehooyaadaa lubichaa hunda keessa waan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti qajeelaa taʼe hojjete.
And Joash does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
3 Yehooyaadaan niitota lama isaaf file; innis ilmaanii fi intallan ni dhalche.
And Jehoiada takes two wives for him, and he begets sons and daughters.
4 Yeroo xinnoo booddees Yooʼaash mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo haaromsuuf murteesse.
And it comes to pass after this, it has been with the heart of Joash to renew the house of YHWH,
5 Innis lubootaa fi Lewwota walitti waamee, “Gara magaalaawwan Yihuudaa dhaqaatii maallaqa waggaa waggaadhaan mana qulqullummaa Waaqa keessanii haaromsuuf oolu Israaʼeloota hunda irraa walitti qabaa. Kanas ammuma godhaa” isaaniin jedhe. Lewwonni garuu dafanii hin goone.
and he gathers the priests and the Levites, and says to them, “Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather money from all Israel to strengthen the house of your God sufficiently year by year, and you, hurry to the matter”; and the Levites have not hurried.
6 Kanaafuu mootichi Yehooyaadaa lubicha hangafticha waamee, “Ati maaliif akka Lewwonni gibira Museen garbichi Waaqayyoo fi yaaʼiin Israaʼel akka dunkaana dhuga baʼumsaatiif baafamu murteessan sana Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem irraa walitti qaban hin godhin?” jedheen.
And the king calls for Jehoiada the head and says to him, “Why have you not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tribute of Moses, servant of YHWH, and of the assembly of Israel, for the Tent of the Testimony?
7 Yeroo sana ilmaan Ataaliyaa dubartittii hamtuu sanaa mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa cabsanii seenanii miʼoota qulqulleeffaman illee Baʼaalin tajaajiluuf itti ni fayyadaman.
For sons of Athaliah, the wicked one, have broken up the house of God, and also, they have prepared all the holy things of the house of YHWH for Ba‘alim.”
8 Kanaafuu mootichi akka isaan sanduuqa maallaqni itti walitti qabamu hojjetanii karaa alaatiin balbala mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo bira kaaʼan ni ajaje.
And the king commands, and they make one chest, and put it at the gate of the house of YHWH outside,
9 Akka isaan qaraxa Museen garbichi Waaqaa sun yeroo gammoojjii keessa turanitti Israaʼeloota ajaje sana Waaqayyoof fidaniif Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem keessatti labsiin tokko ni baʼe.
and give an intimation in Judah and in Jerusalem to bring to YHWH the tribute of Moses, servant of God, [laid] on Israel in the wilderness.
10 Qondaaltonni hundii fi sabni hundi buusii isaanii gammachuudhaan fidanii hamma inni guututti sanduuqicha keessa ni buusan.
And all the heads, and all the people rejoice, and they bring in, and cast into the chest, to completion.
11 Yommuu sanduuqichi Lewwotaan gara qondaaltota mootiitti fidamee qondaaltonni sun akka maallaqni baayʼeen isa keessa jiru arganitti barreessaan mootichaa fi ajajaan lubicha hangafaa dhufanii maallaqa sana sanduuqa keessaa garagalchanii sanduuqicha iddoo isaatti deebisu ture. Isaanis guyyuma guyyaan akkas godhanii maallaqa akka malee baayʼee walitti ni qaban.
And it comes to pass, at the time one brings in the chest for the inspection of the king by the hand of the Levites, and at their seeing that the money [is] abundant, that a scribe of the king has come in, and an officer of the head-priest, and they empty the chest, and take it up and turn it back to its place; thus they have done day by day, and gather money in abundance.
12 Mootichii fi Yehooyaadaanis maallaqa sana warra mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo hojjechiisuuf itti gaafatamummaa fudhatanitti ni kennan. Isaanis mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo haaromsuudhaaf namoota dhagaa cabsanii fi ogeeyyii hojii mukaa, akkasumas mana qulqullummaa haaromsuudhaaf hojjettoota sibiilaa fi naasii ittiin ni qaxaran.
And the king and Jehoiada give it to the doers of the work of the service of the house of YHWH, and they are hiring hewers and craftsmen to renew the house of YHWH, and also—to craftsmen in iron and bronze to strengthen the house of YHWH.
13 Hojjettoonni qaxaraman waan jabaatanii hojjetaniif hojiin sun isaaniif ni milkaaʼe. Mana qulqullummaa Waaqaas akkuma duraan turetti deebisanii ni haaromsan; ni jabeessanis.
And those doing the business work, and there goes up lengthening to the work by their hand, and they establish the house of God by its proper measure, and strengthen it.
14 Erga fixanii booddees maallaqa hafe fidanii mootichaa fi Yehooyaadaatti ni kennan; maallaqa sanaanis miʼoota mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo jechuunis miʼoota tajaajilaa fi kan aarsaan gubamu ittiin dhiʼeeffamu akkasumas caabiiwwan, miʼoota warqee fi meetii ittiin ni hojjetan. Isaanis bara Yehooyaadaa keessa utuu gargar hin kutin mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti aarsaa gubamu dhiʼeessaa turan.
And at their completing [it], they have brought in the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, and they make [with] it vessels for the house of YHWH, vessels of serving, and of offering up, and spoons, even vessels of gold and silver; and they are causing burnt-offerings to ascend in the house of YHWH continually, all the days of Jehoiada.
15 Yehooyaadaanis bara dheeraa jiraatee dulloomee waggaa dhibba tokkoo fi soddomatti ni duʼe.
And Jehoiada is aged and satisfied with days, and dies—a son of one hundred and thirty years in his death,
16 Innis sababii Israaʼel keessatti Waaqaa fi mana qulqullummaa isaatiif waan gaarii hojjeteef Magaalaa Daawit keessatti mootota biratti ni awwaalame.
and they bury him in the City of David with the kings, for he has done good in Israel, and with God and his house.
17 Erga Yehooyaadaan duʼee booddee qondaaltonni Yihuudaa dhufanii amanamummaa mootichaaf qaban ni ibsan; innis isaan dhaggeeffate.
And after the death of Jehoiada, heads of Judah have come in, and bow themselves to the king; then the king has listened to them,
18 Isaanis mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo Waaqa abbootii isaanii dhiisanii siidaawwan Aasheeraa fi waaqota tolfamoo ni waaqeffatan. Sababii balleessaa isaaniifis dheekkamsi Waaqaa Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalemitti ni dhufe.
and they forsake the house of YHWH, God of their fathers, and serve the Asherim and the idols, and there is wrath on Judah and Jerusalem for this guilt of theirs.
19 Akka isaan gara isaatti saba deebisaniif Waaqayyo raajota isaanitti erge; raajonnis isaanitti rageessan; isaan garuu dhagaʼuu hin barbaanne.
And He sends among them prophets, to bring them back to YHWH, and they testify against them, and they have not given ear;
20 Ergasiis Hafuurri Waaqaa Zakkaariyaas ilma Yehooyaadaa lubichaa irra ni buʼe. Innis kaʼee fuula uummataa dura dhaabatee, “Waaqni akkana jedha: ‘Isin maaliif ajaja Waaqayyoo eeguu diddani? Isin hin milkooftan. Sababii isin Waaqayyoon dhiiftaniif innis isin dhiiseera’” jedheen.
and the Spirit of God has clothed Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest, and he stands above the people, and says to them, “Thus said God: Why are you transgressing the commands of YHWH, and do not prosper? Because you have forsaken YHWH, He forsakes you.”
21 Isaan garuu isatti mariʼatanii ajaja mootichaatiin oobdii mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti dhagaadhaan tumanii isa ni ajjeesan.
And they conspire against him, and stone him [with] stone by the command of the king, in the court of the house of YHWH,
22 Yooʼaash mootichi arjummaa Yehooyaadaan abbaan Zakkaariyaas isaaf godhe sana hin yaadanne; qooda kanaa inni ilma isaa ni ajjeese; innis yeroo duʼutti, “Waaqayyo waan kana haa argu; haaloos haa baʼu” jedhe.
and Joash the king has not remembered the kindness that his father Jehoiada did with him, and slays his son, and in his death he said, “YHWH sees and requires.”
23 Dhuma waggaa sanaattis loltoonni Sooriyaa Yooʼaashitti ni duulan; Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem qabatanii hooggantoota sabaa hunda ni fixan. Isaanis waan boojiʼan hunda gara Damaasqootti mootii isaaniitti ni ergan.
And it comes to pass, at the turn of the year, the force of Aram has come up against him, and they come to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroy all the heads of the people from the people, and they have sent all their spoil to the king of Damascus,
24 Loltoonni Sooriyaa namoota xinnoo qabatanii dhufan illee Waaqayyo loltoota akka malee baayʼee harka isaaniitti dabarsee ni kenne. Sababii Yihuudoonni Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaanii dhiisaniif Yooʼaashitti murtiin murame.
for with few men the force of Aram has come in, and YHWH has given into their hand a mighty force for multitude, because they have forsaken YHWH, God of their fathers; and they have executed judgments with Joash.
25 Warri Sooriyaa yommuu baʼanitti Yooʼaashin akka malee madeessanii ni deeman. Qondaaltonni isaas sababii inni ilma Yehooyaadaa lubichaa ajjeeseef isatti mariʼatanii siree isaa irratti isa ajjeesan. Kanaafuu inni duʼee Magaalaa Daawit keessatti ni awwaalame; garuu iddoo awwaala moototaatti hin awwaalamne.
And in their going from him—for they left him with many diseases—his servants themselves have conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slay him on his bed, and he dies; and they bury him in the City of David, and have not buried him in the graves of the kings.
26 Warri isatti mariʼatanis Zaabaad ilma Shimeʼaati dubartii Amoon sanaa fi Yehoozaabaad ilma Shimriiti dubartii Moʼaab sanaa turan.
And these [are] those conspiring against him: Zabad son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
27 Seenaan ilmaan isaa, raajiiwwan waaʼee isaa dubbataman hedduunii fi seenaan haaromfamuu mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa kitaaba seenaa moototaa keessatti barreeffameera. Amasiyaa ilmi isaa iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
As for his sons, and the greatness of the burden on him, and the foundation of the house of God, behold, they are written on the commentary of the scroll of the Kings; and his son Amaziah reigns in his stead.
