2 Mootota 12
1 Bara mootummaa Yehuu keessa waggaa torbaffaatti Yooʼaash mootii taʼe; inni Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa afurtama bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Saabiyaa ture; isheenis nama Bersheebaa turte.
In the seventh year of Jehu Joas began to reign: and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Sebia of Bersabee.
2 Yooʼaashis bara Yehooyaadaan lubichi isa gorsaa ture hunda waan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti qajeelaa taʼe hojjechaa ture.
And Joas did that which was right before the Lord all the days that Joiada the priest taught him.
3 Taʼus iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa hin diigamne ture; namoonnis ittuma fufanii aarsaa dhiʼeessaa, ixaanas achitti aarsaa turan.
But yet he took not away the high places: for the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
4 Yooʼaashis lubootaan akkana jedhe; “Maallaqa kennaa qulqulluu godhamee mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti fidame hunda jechuunis maallaqa yeroo uummanni lakkaaʼametti walitti qabame, maallaqa wareega namootaa irraa walitti qabamee fi maallaqa namoonni fedhiidhaan mana qulqullummaatti fidan walitti qabaa.
And Joas said to the priests: O All the money of the sanctified things, which is brought into the temple of the Lord by those that pass, which is offered for the price of a soul, and which of their own accord, and of their own free heart they bring into the temple of the Lord:
5 Tokkoon tokkoon lubaa qabduu horii irraa maallaqa haa fuudhu; maallaqni kunis waan mana qulqullummaa keessaa caccabe kam iyyuu deebisanii haaromsuudhaaf hojii irra haa oolu.”
Let the priests take it according to their order, and repair the house, wheresoever they shall see any thing that wanteth repairing.
6 Garuu bara Yooʼaash Mootichaa keessa waggaa digdamii sadaffaatti luboonni sun amma illee mana qulqullummaa sana hin haaromsine ture.
Now till the three and twentieth year of king Joas, the priests did not make the repairs of the temple.
7 Kanaafuu Yooʼaash mootichi Yehooyaadaa lubichaa fi luboota kaan walitti waamee, “Isin maaliif kutaa mana qulqullummaa kan diigamaa jiru sana deebiftanii hin haaromsine? Isin siʼachi maallaqa namoota irraa guurtan of harka hin tursinaa; garuu akka manni qulqullummaa ittiin haaromfamuuf dabarsaa kennaa.”
And king Joas called Joiada the high priest and the priests, saying to them: Why do you not repair the temple? Take you therefore money no more according to your order, but restore it for the repairing of the temple.
8 Luboonni sunis akka lammata maallaqa waldaa irraa walitti hin qabnee fi akka mana qulqullummaa sana illee ofii isaaniitiin hin haaromsine walii galan.
And the priests were forbidden to take any more money of the people, and to make the repairs of the house.
9 Yehooyaadaan lubichi sanduuqa tokko fuudhee qadaada isaa ure. Sanduuqa sanas karra namni ittiin mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo seenuun karaa mirgaatiin iddoo aarsaa bira kaaʼe. Luboonni balbala sana eeganis maallaqa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootiif fidamu hunda sanduuqa sana keessa buusu ture.
And Joiada the high priest took a chest and bored a hole in the top, and set it by the altar at the right hand of them that came into the house of the Lord, and the priests that kept the doors put therein all the money that was brought to the temple of the Lord.
10 Yommuu sanduuqni sun guututtis barreessaan mootiitii fi lubni ol aanaan dhufanii maallaqa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti galfame sana lakkaaʼanii korojootti naqan.
And when they saw that there was very much money in the chest, the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and poured it out, and counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord:
11 Erga baayʼinni maallaqa sanaa beekamee booddee isaan warra hojii mana qulqullummaa sana toʼachuuf filatamanitti kennan. Jarris namoota hojii mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo irratti bobbaʼan jechuunis warra muka soofanii fi warra mana ijaaraniif,
And they gave it out by number and measure into the hands of them that were over the builders of the house of the Lord: and they laid it out to the carpenters, and the masons that wrought in the house of the Lord,
12 warra dhagaadhaan ijaaranii fi warra dhagaa cabsaniif kaffalan. Akkasumas mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo haaromsuudhaaf jedhanii mukaa fi dhagaa soofame bitanii baasii ittiin mana qulqullummaa haaromsan hunda baasan.
And made the repairs: and to them that cut stones, and to buy timber, and stones, to be hewed, that the repairs of the house of the Lord might be completely finished, and wheresoever there was need of expenses to uphold the house.
13 Maallaqni mana qulqullummaatti fidame sun miʼa meetii irraa hojjetame kan akka caabii, waan ittiin ibsaa irraa daaraa dhadhaʼan, waciitii ittiin waa faffacaasan, malakata yookaan miʼa warqee yookaan meetii irraa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootiif hojjetaman biraa kamiin iyyuu tolchuuf hojii irra hin oolle;
But there were not made of the same money for the temple of the Lord, bowls, or fleshhooks, or censers, or trumpets, or any vessel of gold and silver, of the money that was brought into the temple of the Lord.
14 maallaqni sunis namoota mana qulqullummaa sana haaromsaniif baafame.
For it was given to them that did the work, that the temple of the Lord might be repaired.
15 Isaan sababii jarri amanamummaa guutuudhaan waan kana hojjetaniif namoota akka isaan warra mana qulqullummaa haaromsaniif kaffalaniif maallaqni itti kenname sana irraa herrega toʼachuu hin barbaanne.
And they reckoned not with the men that received the money to distribute it to the workmen, but they bestowed it faithfully.
16 Maallaqni aarsaa yakkaatii fi aarsaa cubbuutiif galfame tokko iyyuu mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti hin fidamne; kun qooda lubootaatii.
But the money for trespass, and the money for sins, they brought not into the temple of the Lord, because it was for the priests.
17 Yeruma kana keessa Hazaaʼeel mootiin Sooriyaa Gaatitti ol baʼee lolee ishee qabate. Ergasii immoo Yerusaaleminis loluuf itti gara gale.
Then Hazael king of Syria went up and fought against Geth, and took it and set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
18 Yooʼaash mootichi Yihuudaa garuu miʼoota abbootiin isaa mootonni Yihuudaa Yehooshaafaax, Yehooraamii fi Ahaaziyaan Waaqaaf addaan baasanii fi kan inni mataan isaa Waaqaaf addaan baase, warqee kuusaa qabeenya mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootii fi kan masaraa mootummaa hunda walitti qabee Hazaaʼeel mooticha Sooriyaatiif kenne; Hazaaʼeelis ergasii Yerusaalemii baʼee deeme.
Wherefore Joas king of Juda took all the sanctified things, which Josaphat, and Joram, and Ochozias his fathers the kings of Juda had dedicated to holy uses, and which he himself had offered: and all the silver that could be found in the treasures of the temple of the Lord, and in the king’s palace: and sent it to Hazael king of Syria, and he went off from Jerusalem.
19 Wantoonni bara mootummaa Yooʼaash keessa hojjetaman kanneen biraatii fi wanni inni hojjete hundinuu kitaaba seenaa mootota Yihuudaa keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii?
And the rest of the acts of Joas, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
20 Qondaaltonni isaa isatti malatanii karaa Siilaatti gad buʼu irratti Beet Miilootti isa ajjeesan.
And his servants arose, and conspired among themselves, and slew Joas in the house of Mello in the descent of Sella.
21 Qondaaltonni isa ajjeesanis Yozaakaar ilma Shimeʼaatii fi Yehoozaabaad ilma Shoomeer turan. Innis duʼee abbootii isaa biratti Magaalaa Daawit keessatti awwaalame. Amasiyaa ilmi isaa iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
For Josachar the son of Semaath, and Jozabad the son of Somer his servant struck him, and he died: and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David, and Amasias his son reigned in his stead.
