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, Jehoash has reigned, and he has reigned forty years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Zibiah of Beer-Sheba,
2 Yooʼaashis bara Yehooyaadaan lubichi isa gorsaa ture hunda waan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti qajeelaa taʼe hojjechaa ture.
and Jehoash does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH all his days in which Jehoiada the priest directed him,
3 Taʼus iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa hin diigamne ture; namoonnis ittuma fufanii aarsaa dhiʼeessaa, ixaanas achitti aarsaa turan.
only, the high places have not been removed—the people are still sacrificing and making incense in 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 Jehoash says to the priests, “All the money of the sanctified things that is brought into the house of YHWH, the money of him who is passing over, the money of each of the souls—his valuation, all the money that goes up on the heart of a man to bring into the house of YHWH,
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.”
the priests take to themselves, each from his acquaintance, and they strengthen the breach of the house in all [places] there where a breach is found.”
6 Garuu bara Yooʼaash Mootichaa keessa waggaa digdamii sadaffaatti luboonni sun amma illee mana qulqullummaa sana hin haaromsine ture.
And it comes to pass, in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash, the priests have not strengthened the breach of the house,
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 Jehoash calls to Jehoiada the priest, and to the priests, and says to them, “Why are you not strengthening the breach of the house? And now, receive no money from your acquaintances, but give it for the breach of the house.”
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 do not consent to receive money from the people, nor to strengthen the breach 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 Jehoiada the priest takes a chest, and pierces a hole in its lid, and puts it near the altar, on the right side, as one comes into the house of YHWH, and the priests keeping the threshold have put all the money there that is brought into the house of YHWH.
10 Yommuu sanduuqni sun guututtis barreessaan mootiitii fi lubni ol aanaan dhufanii maallaqa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti galfame sana lakkaaʼanii korojootti naqan.
And it comes to pass, at their seeing that the money [is] abundant in the chest, that there goes up a scribe of the king, and of the high priest, and they bind [it] up, and count the money that is found [in] the house of YHWH,
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 have given the weighed money into the hands of those doing the work, those inspecting the house of YHWH, and they bring it out to those working in the wood, and to builders who are working in the house of YHWH,
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 to those [repairing] the wall, and to hewers of stone, and to buy wood and hewn stones to strengthen the breach of the house of YHWH, and for all that goes out on the house, to strengthen it.
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;
Only, there is not made for the house of YHWH basins of silver, snuffers, bowls, trumpets, any vessel of gold, and vessel of silver, out of the money that is brought into the house of YHWH;
14 maallaqni sunis namoota mana qulqullummaa sana haaromsaniif baafame.
for they give it to those doing the work, and they have strengthened the house of YHWH with it,
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 do not reckon with the men into whose hand they give the money to give to those doing the work, for they are dealing in faithfulness.
16 Maallaqni aarsaa yakkaatii fi aarsaa cubbuutiif galfame tokko iyyuu mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti hin fidamne; kun qooda lubootaatii.
The money of a trespass-offering and the money of sin-offerings is not brought into the house of YHWH—it is 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 Aram goes up and fights against Gath, and captures it, and Hazael sets his face to go up against 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.
and Jehoash king of Judah takes all the sanctified things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had sanctified, and his own sanctified things, and all the gold that is found in the treasures of the house of YHWH and of the house of the king, and sends [them] to Hazael king of Aram, and he goes up from off 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 matters of Joash and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
20 Qondaaltonni isaa isatti malatanii karaa Siilaatti gad buʼu irratti Beet Miilootti isa ajjeesan.
And his servants rise, and make a conspiracy, and strike Joash in the house of Millo, that is going down to Silla.
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.
Indeed, Jozachar son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad son of Shemer, his servants, have struck him, and he dies, and they bury him with his fathers in the City of David, and his son Amaziah reigns in his stead.
