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.
Jehoash began to reign in the seventh year of Jehu, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
2 Yooʼaashis bara Yehooyaadaan lubichi isa gorsaa ture hunda waan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti qajeelaa taʼe hojjechaa ture.
Jehoash did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
3 Taʼus iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa hin diigamne ture; namoonnis ittuma fufanii aarsaa dhiʼeessaa, ixaanas achitti aarsaa turan.
However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned 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.
Jehoash said to the priests, “All the money of the holy things that is brought into Yahweh’s house, in current money, the money of the people for whom each man is evaluated, and all the money that it comes into any man’s heart to bring into Yahweh’s house,
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 to them, each man from his donor; and they shall repair the damage to the house, wherever any damage is found.”
6 Garuu bara Yooʼaash Mootichaa keessa waggaa digdamii sadaffaatti luboonni sun amma illee mana qulqullummaa sana hin haaromsine ture.
But it was so, that in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash the priests had not repaired the damage to 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.”
Then King Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said to them, “Why aren’t you repairing the damage to the house? Now therefore take no more money from your treasurers, but deliver it for repair of the damage to 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.
The priests consented that they should take no more money from the people, and not repair the damage to 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.
But Jehoiada the priest took a chest and bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into Yahweh’s house; and the priests who kept the threshold put all the money that was brought into Yahweh’s house into it.
10 Yommuu sanduuqni sun guututtis barreessaan mootiitii fi lubni ol aanaan dhufanii maallaqa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti galfame sana lakkaaʼanii korojootti naqan.
When they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and they put it in bags and counted the money that was found in Yahweh’s house.
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,
They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of Yahweh’s house; and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders who worked on Yahweh’s house,
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 the masons and the stone cutters, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the damage to Yahweh’s house, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair 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;
But there were not made for Yahweh’s house cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into Yahweh’s house;
14 maallaqni sunis namoota mana qulqullummaa sana haaromsaniif baafame.
for they gave that to those who did the work, and repaired Yahweh’s house 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.
Moreover they didn’t demand an accounting from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work; for they dealt faithfully.
16 Maallaqni aarsaa yakkaatii fi aarsaa cubbuutiif galfame tokko iyyuu mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti hin fidamne; kun qooda lubootaatii.
The money for the trespass offerings and the money for the sin offerings was not brought into Yahweh’s house. It was 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 Gath, and took it; and Hazael 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.
Jehoash king of Judah took all the holy things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own holy things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of Yahweh’s house, and of the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria; and he went away from Jerusalem.
19 Wantoonni bara mootummaa Yooʼaash keessa hojjetaman kanneen biraatii fi wanni inni hojjete hundinuu kitaaba seenaa mootota Yihuudaa keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii?
Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
20 Qondaaltonni isaa isatti malatanii karaa Siilaatti gad buʼu irratti Beet Miilootti isa ajjeesan.
His servants arose and made a conspiracy, and struck Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that goes 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.
For Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in David’s city; and Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
