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 [was] seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also [was] Zibiah of Beer-sheba.
2 Yooʼaash bara Yehooyaadaa lubichaa hunda keessa waan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti qajeelaa taʼe hojjete.
And Joash did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
3 Yehooyaadaan niitota lama isaaf file; innis ilmaanii fi intallan ni dhalche.
And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters.
4 Yeroo xinnoo booddees Yooʼaash mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo haaromsuuf murteesse.
And it came to pass after this, [that] Joash was minded to repair the house of the LORD.
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 convened the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather from all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. But the Levites hastened [it] not.
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 called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, [according to the commandment] of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?
7 Yeroo sana ilmaan Ataaliyaa dubartittii hamtuu sanaa mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa cabsanii seenanii miʼoota qulqulleeffaman illee Baʼaalin tajaajiluuf itti ni fayyadaman.
For the sons of Athaliah that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD they bestowed upon Baalim.
8 Kanaafuu mootichi akka isaan sanduuqa maallaqni itti walitti qabamu hojjetanii karaa alaatiin balbala mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo bira kaaʼan ni ajaje.
And at the king's commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD.
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 they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the LORD the collection [that] Moses the servant of God [laid] upon Israel in the wilderness.
10 Qondaaltonni hundii fi sabni hundi buusii isaanii gammachuudhaan fidanii hamma inni guututti sanduuqicha keessa ni buusan.
And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.
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.
Now it came to pass, that at the time the chest was brought to the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that [there was] much money, the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and collected 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 gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the LORD, and also such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the LORD.
13 Hojjettoonni qaxaraman waan jabaatanii hojjetaniif hojiin sun isaaniif ni milkaaʼe. Mana qulqullummaa Waaqaas akkuma duraan turetti deebisanii ni haaromsan; ni jabeessanis.
So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in its state, and strengthened 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 when they had finished [it], they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, of which were made vessels for the house of the LORD, [even] vessels to minister, and to offer [with], and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt-offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.
15 Yehooyaadaanis bara dheeraa jiraatee dulloomee waggaa dhibba tokkoo fi soddomatti ni duʼe.
But Jehoiada grew old, and was full of days when he died; a hundred and thirty years old [was] he when he died.
16 Innis sababii Israaʼel keessatti Waaqaa fi mana qulqullummaa isaatiif waan gaarii hojjeteef Magaalaa Daawit keessatti mootota biratti ni awwaalame.
And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both towards God, and towards his house.
17 Erga Yehooyaadaan duʼee booddee qondaaltonni Yihuudaa dhufanii amanamummaa mootichaaf qaban ni ibsan; innis isaan dhaggeeffate.
Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened 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 left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.
19 Akka isaan gara isaatti saba deebisaniif Waaqayyo raajota isaanitti erge; raajonnis isaanitti rageessan; isaan garuu dhagaʼuu hin barbaanne.
Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again to the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give 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 came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, who stood above the people, and said to them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you.
21 Isaan garuu isatti mariʼatanii ajaja mootichaatiin oobdii mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti dhagaadhaan tumanii isa ni ajjeesan.
And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the LORD.
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.
Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The LORD look upon [it], and require [it].
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 came to pass at the end of the year, [that] the army of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them 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 the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men, and the LORD delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against 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 when they had departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases, ) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchers of the kings.
26 Warri isatti mariʼatanis Zaabaad ilma Shimeʼaati dubartii Amoon sanaa fi Yehoozaabaad ilma Shimriiti dubartii Moʼaab sanaa turan.
And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a 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.
Now [concerning] his sons, and the greatness of the burdens [laid] upon him, and the repairing of the house of God, behold, they [are] written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
