2 Makoronike 24
1 Joashi akanga ane makore manomwe paakava mambo, uye akatonga muJerusarema kwamakore makumi mana. Mai vake vainzi Zibhia uye vaibva kuBheerishebha.
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 Joashi akaita zvakanga zvakanaka pamberi paJehovha pamazuva ose aJehoyadha muprista.
And Joash does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
3 Jehoyadha akamusarudzira vakadzi vaviri uye akava navanakomana navanasikana.
And Jehoiada takes two wives for him, and he begets sons and daughters.
4 Kwapera kanguva Joashi akafunga kuti avandudze temberi yaJehovha.
And it comes to pass after this, it has been with the heart of Joash to renew the house of YHWH,
5 Akaunganidza vaprista navaRevhi akati kwavari, “Endai kumaguta eJudha mundotora mari inofanira kupiwa gore negore kubva kuIsraeri, yokugadziridza nayo temberi yaMwari wenyu. Zviitei iye zvino.” Asi vaRevhi havana kubva vazviita ipapo.
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 Naizvozvo mambo akadaidza Jehoyadha muprista mukuru akati kwaari, “Sei usina kutuma vaRevhi kuti vauyise kubva kuJudha neJerusarema mutero wakarayirwa naMozisi muranda waJehovha neungano yeIsraeri weTende reChipupuriro?”
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 Zvino vanakomana vaAtaria mukadzi uya akaipa vakanga vamanikidzira kupinda mutemberi yaMwari uye vakanga vashandisa kunyange midziyo yayo inoera mukunamata Bhaari.
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 Mambo akati arayira, bhokisi rakagadzirwa rikaiswa pasuo retemberi yaJehovha.
And the king commands, and they make one chest, and put it at the gate of the house of YHWH outside,
9 Shoko rakatumwa muJudha neJerusarema kuti vaifanira kuuyisa kuna Jehovha mutero wakanga warayirwa naMozisi muranda waMwari kuti vaIsraeri vape murenje.
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 Machinda ose navanhu vose vakauyisa zvipo zvavo nomufaro, vakazvikanda mubhokisi kusvikira razara.
And all the heads, and all the people rejoice, and they bring in, and cast into the chest, to completion.
11 Pose paitakurwa bhokisi richipinzwa mukati navaRevhi kumachinda amambo, uye pavaiona kuti maiva nemari yakawanda, munyori wamambo nomubati womuprista mukuru vaiuya vodurura mari kubva mubhokisi riya voridzorera panzvimbo yaro. Vakaita izvi nguva nenguva uye vakaunganidza mari yakawanda.
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 Mambo naJehoyadha akaipa kuvanhu vaizoita basa raidiwa patemberi yaJehovha. Vakaripira vavezi vamatombo navavezi vamatanda kuti vamise pakare temberi yaJehovha, uyewo vapfuri vesimbi nendarira kuti vagadziridze temberi.
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 Varume vaibata basa iri vaiva nounyanzvi uye kugadziridza kwose kwakaenderera mberi mumaoko avo. Vakavakazve temberi yaMwari sezvayakanga yakaita pakutanga, vakaisimbisa.
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 Pavakapedza vakauyisa imwe mari yose yakanga yasara kuna mambo naJehoyadha, uye yakagadziriswa midziyo yomutemberi yaJehovha: midziyo yokushandisa neyezvipiriso zvinopiswa namadhishi nezvimwe zvegoridhe nesirivha. Jehoyadha paakanga achiri mupenyu, zvipiriso zvinopiswa zvaitopiwa nguva nenguva mutemberi yaJehovha.
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 Zvino Jehoyadha akanga akura ava namakore mazhinji, uye akafa ava namakore zana namakumi matatu.
And Jehoiada is aged and satisfied with days, and dies—a son of one hundred and thirty years in his death,
16 Akavigwa namadzimambo muGuta raDhavhidhi, nokuda kwezvakanaka zvaakanga aitira Mwari muIsraeri nomutemberi yake.
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 Mushure mokufa kwaJehoyadha, vakuru veJudha vakauya kuzopa rukudzo kuna mambo, uye akateerera kwavari.
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 Vakasiya temberi yaJehovha, Mwari wamadzibaba avo, vakanamata matanda aAshera nezvifananidzo. Nokuda kwokutadza kwavo, kutsamwa kwaMwari kwakauya pamusoro peJudha neJerusarema.
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 Kunyange zvazvo Jehovha akatumira vaprofita kuvanhu kuti vavadzosere kwaari, uye kunyange vaipupura zvakaipa nezvavo, havana kuteerera.
And He sends among them prophets, to bring them back to YHWH, and they testify against them, and they have not given ear;
20 Ipapo mweya waJehovha wakauya pana Zekaria, mwanakomana waJehoyadha muprista. Akamira pamberi pavanhu akati, “Zvanzi naMwari, ‘Sei musingateereri mirayiro yaJehovha? Hamusi kuzobudirira. Nokuti makasiya Jehovha, iye akusiyaiwo.’”
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 Asi ivo vakamupandukira uye nokurayira kwaMambo vakamutaka namabwe kusvikira afa, muchivanze chetemberi yaJehovha.
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 Mambo Joashi haana kurangarira tsitsi dzaJehoyadha baba vaZekaria dzavakanga vamuratidza, asi akauraya mwanakomana wake, uye iye paakanga ava kufa akati, “Jehovha ngaazvione izvi uye aite kuti muzvidavirire.”
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 Pakupera kwegore hondo yeAramu yakauya kuzorwisa Joashi; yakapamba Judha neJerusarema uye ikauraya vatungamiri vose vavanhu. Vakatumira zvavakanga vapamba zvose kuna mambo wavo kuDhamasiko.
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 Kunyange zvazvo hondo yavaAramu yakanga ine varume vashoma shoma, Jehovha akaisa hondo huru kwazvo mumaoko avo. Nokuti Judha yakanga yarasa Jehovha, Mwari wamadzibaba avo, kutongwa kwakaiswa pamusoro paJoashi.
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 VaAramu pavakazodzokera shure vakasiya Joashi akuvara zvakanyanya. Machinda ake akarangana akamupa mhosva yokuuraya mwanakomana waJehoyadha muprista, vakamuuraya akarara panhoo yake. Saka akafa akavigwa muGuta raDhavhidhi, asi kwete mumakuva amadzimambo.
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 Avo vakarangana pamusoro pake vaiti Zabhadhi mwanakomana waShimeati, mudzimai wechiAmoni, naJehozabhadhi, mwanakomana waShimiriti muMoabhu.
And these [are] those conspiring against him: Zabad son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
27 Nhoroondo dzavanakomana vake, nezvakaprofitwa pamusoro pake nezvakanyorwa pamusoro pokuvandudzwa kwetemberi yaMwari zvakanyorwa mubhuku renhoroondo dzamadzimambo. Uye Amazia mwanakomana wake akamutevera paumambo.
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.
