Taariikhdii Labaad 24
1 Yoo'aashna toddoba sannadood buu jiray markuu boqor noqday, oo afartan sannadoodna Yeruusaalem buu boqor ku ahaa, oo hooyadiis magaceeduna wuxuu ahaa Sibyaah tii reer Bi'ir Shebac.
Joash was seven years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled in Jerusalem for 40 years. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba [city].
2 Oo Yoo'aashna wuxuu sameeyey wixii Rabbiga hortiisa ku qummanaa wakhtigii wadaadkii Yehooyaadaac ahaa noolaa oo dhan.
Joash did what pleased Yahweh as long as Jehoiada was [the Supreme] Priest.
3 Oo Yehooyaadaacna wuxuu isagii u guuriyey laba naagood, oo wuxuu dhalay wiilal iyo gabdhoba.
Jehoiada chose two women to be Joash’s wives. And they bore Joash sons and daughters.
4 Oo waxyaalahaas dabadoodna Yoo'aash wuxuu ku fikiray inuu gurigii Rabbiga cusboonaysiiyo.
Some years later, Joash decided that the temple should be repaired.
5 Markaasuu soo wada ururiyey wadaaddadii iyo kuwii reer Laawi, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Baxa oo magaalooyinka dalka Yahuudah taga, oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan waxaad ka soo ururisaan lacag guriga Ilaahiinna lagu cusboonaysiiyo sannad ilaa sannad, oo xaalkaas dhaqso u sameeya. Habase yeeshee kuwii reer Laawi xaalkaas kuma ayan dhaqsan.
He summoned the priests and other descendants of Levi and said to them, “Go to the towns in Judah and collect from the people the tax money that they are required to pay each year, and use that money to pay for repairing the temple. Do it immediately.” But the descendants of Levi did not do it immediately.
6 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu u yeedhay Yehooyaadaac oo madax ahaa, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Maxaad u weyddiin weyday reer Laawi inay dadkii Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalem ka soo ururiyaan cashuurtii Muuse oo ahaa addoonkii Rabbiga iyo tii shirka reer binu Israa'iil teendhadii maragga aawadeed?
So the king summoned Jehoiada and said to him, “Why have you not required the descendants of Levi to bring to Jerusalem from various places in Judah the annual/yearly tax that Moses said that the people of Judah must pay, for taking care of the Sacred Tent?”
7 Waayo, Catalyaah oo ahayd tu shar ah wiilasheedii ayaa gurigii Ilaah burburiyeen, oo weliba alaabtii guriga Rabbiga oo quduuska laga dhigay oo dhan waxay wada siiyeen Bacaliim.
[The temple needed to be repaired] because the sons of that wicked woman Athaliah had entered into the temple [and had wrecked some of the things], and had also used some of the sacred items that were in it for [the worship of] Baal.
8 Sidaas daraaddeed boqorkii wuu amray oo iyana waxay sameeyeen sanduuq, oo waxay ag qotomiyeen guriga Rabbiga iriddiisa dibaddeeda.
So, obeying what the king commanded, the descendants of Levi made a chest and placed it outside the temple, at one of the entrances.
9 Markaasay dalka Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalem oo dhan ku naadiyeen in Rabbiga loo keeno cashuurtii Muuse oo ahaa addoonkii Ilaah uu reer binu Israa'iil kor saaray markay cidlada dhex joogeen.
Then the king sent letters everywhere in Judah, requesting everyone to bring their tax money to the temple, like Moses had required the Israeli people to do [when they were] in the desert.
10 Markaasaa amiirradii iyo dadkii oo dhammu reyreeyeen oo intay wax keeneen ayay ku rideen sanduuqii ilaa ay ka buuxiyeen.
All the officials and the other people [agreed, and they] brought their contributions gladly. They put the money into the chest until it was full.
11 Oo waxay noqotay in markii sanduuqii la geeyey xafiiskii boqorka iyadoo ay reer Laawi sidaan, oo la arkay in lacag badanu ku jirto ayaa waxaa yimid oo sanduuqii ka shubay karraanigii boqorka iyo sirkaalkii wadaadka sare, oo haddana sanduuqii bay qaadeen oo meeshiisii ku celiyeen. Oo saasay maalin kasta yeeli jireen, oo waxay soo ururiyeen lacag faro badan.
Whenever the descendants of Levi brought the chest to the king’s officials, and they saw that there was a lot of money in it, the king’s secretary and the assistant to the [Supreme] Priest would take all the money from the chest, and then put the chest back in its place. They did this frequently, and they collected a huge amount of money.
12 Oo boqorkii iyo Yehooyaadaac waxay lacagtii siin jireen kuwii samayn jiray hawshii adeegidda guriga Rabbiga, oo waxay soo kiraysteen wastaadyo iyo nijaarro si ay u cusboonaysiiyaan gurigii Rabbiga, oo waxay kaloo siin jireen kuwii bir iyo naxaas wax uga samayn jiray si ay gurigii Rabbiga ugu hagaajiyaan.
The king and Jehoiada gave the money to the men who were supervising the work of repairing the temple. Those men hired stoneworkers and carpenters to repair the temple. They also hired men who worked with iron and bronze to repair things in the temple [that were broken].
13 Markaasay shaqaalihii shaqeeyeen, oo shuqulkiina gacantoodii buu ku hagaagay, oo gurigii Ilaahna waxay ka dhigeen siduu ahaan jiray, wayna adkeeyeen.
The men who did the repair work worked hard, and the work of repairing the temple progressed. They rebuilt the temple so that it was like it was originally, and they even made it stronger.
14 Oo markay hawshii dhammeeyeen waxay lacagtii hadhay keeneen boqorkii iyo Yehooyaadaac hortooda, oo taasna waxaa gurigii Rabbiga looga sameeyey weelal, kuwaasoo ahaa weelal lagu adeegi jiray iyo kuwa wax lagu bixin jiray, iyo malgacadihii, iyo weelashii ahaa dahabka iyo lacagta. Oo Yehooyaadaac cimrigiisii oo dhanna guriga Rabbiga waxaa had iyo goor lagu bixin jiray qurbaanno la gubo.
When they had finished the repair work, they brought to the king and to Jehoiada the money that they had not used for the repairs. That money was used to make things to use for offering the sacrifices that were completely burned [on the altar], and to make bowls and other gold and silver things for the temple. As long as Joash lived, the people continually brought to the temple sacrifices that were to be completely burned on the altar.
15 Laakiinse Yehooyaadaac wuu da' weynaa, gabow buuna la dhacay, wuuna dhintay, oo markuu dhintay wuxuu jiray boqol iyo soddon sannadood.
Jehoiada lived to become very old. He died when he was 130 years old.
16 Oo waxaa lagu aasay magaaladii Daa'uud, iyo meel qabuurihii boqorrada dhexdooda ah, maxaa yeelay, wax wanaagsan buu ku dhex sameeyey reer binu Israa'iil, iyo xagga Ilaah iyo xagga gurigiisba.
He was buried where the kings had been buried, in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. [He was buried there] because of the good things that he had done in Judah for God and for God’s temple.
17 Haddaba markii Yehooyaadaac dhintay dabadeed waxaa yimid amiirradii dalkii Yahuudah oo boqorkay u sujuudeen. Markaasaa boqorkii iyagii maqlay.
After Jehoiada died, the leaders of Judah went to Joash, bowed in front of him, and persuaded him to do what they wanted.
18 Oo iyana waxay ka tageen gurigii Rabbiga ah Ilaahii awowayaashood, oo waxay u adeegeen geedihii Asheeraah iyo sanamyadii. Markaasaa dadkii dalka Yahuudah iyo dadkii Yeruusaalem degganaa waxaa ku soo degtay cadho xadgudubkoodan aawadiis.
So they and the other people stopped worshiping at the temple, and they started worshiping the poles dedicated to [the goddess] Asherah and other idols. Because of their doing those sinful things, God was very angry with the people of Jerusalem and [with the people in other places in] Judah.
19 Oo weliba wuxuu u soo diray nebiyo si ay iyaga ugu soo celiyaan Rabbiga xaggiisa, iyana way ku marag fureen iyagii, laakiin ma ay maqlin.
Although Yahweh sent prophets to persuade them to return to him, and although the prophets told them about the evil things that they had done, the people would not pay attention.
20 Markaasaa Ruuxii Ilaah wuxuu ku soo degay Sekaryaah oo uu dhalay wadaadkii Yehooyaadaac ahaa, oo isna intuu meel dadka ka korraysaa istaagay ayuu ku yidhi, Ilaah wuxuu idinku leeyahay, War maxaad ugu xadgudbaysaan Rabbiga amarradiisa? Idinku ma liibaani karaysaan, maxaa yeelay, Rabbiga waad ka tagteen, isna wuu idinka tegey.
Then God’s Spirit came upon Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the [Supreme] Priest. He stood up front of the people and said, “This is what God says: ‘Why are you disobeying what I, Yahweh, have commanded? You have abandoned me, so I will abandon you.’”
21 Oo iyana intay isagii shirqool u dhigeen, ayay iyagoo boqorka amar ka wata isagii ku dhagxiyeen barxadda guriga Rabbiga.
But the people planned to kill Zechariah. And the king joined them in doing it. The people killed Zechariah by throwing stones at him in the temple courtyard.
22 Sidaasuusan Boqor Yoo'aash u xusuusan roonaantii uu Yehooyaadaac oo isaga aabbihiis ahaa u sameeyey, laakiinse wuxuu dilay wiilkiisii. Oo markuu dhimanayay ayuu yidhi, Rabbigu xaalkan ha fiiriyo oo ha idin weyddiiyo.
King Joash had forgotten about how Zechariah’s father Jehoiada had been kind to him. That’s why he gave orders for the people to kill Jehoiada’s son Zechariah, who said as he was dying, “I hope that Yahweh will see [what you are doing to me] and punish [you for doing it].”
23 Oo isla sannaddaas dhammaadkeedii waxaa isagii ku soo kacay ciidankii reer Suuriya, oo intay dalkii Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalem yimaadeen ayay amiirradii dadka oo dhan ka baabbi'iyeen dadka dhexdiisii, oo wixii ay dhaceen oo dhan ayay u direen boqorkii Dimishaq degganaa.
Near the end of that year (OR, early in the following year), the army of Syria marched to attack [the army of] Joash. They invaded Judah and attacked Jerusalem and killed all the leaders of the people. They [seized many valuable things and] sent them to their king in Damascus, [their capital city.]
24 Ciidankii reer Suuriya waxay yimaadeen iyagoo ah guuto yar, markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu gacanta u geliyey ciidan aad u faro badan, maxaa yeelay, waxay ka tageen Rabbigii ahaa Ilaahii awowayaashood. Oo sidaasaa xukun loogu soo dejiyey Yoo'aash.
The army of Syria [that came to Judah] was very small, but Yahweh allowed them to defeat the large army of Judah, because he was punishing Joash and the other people of Judah for having abandoned him, the God whom their ancestors worshiped.
25 Oo markay isagii ka tageen, (waayo, waxay ka tageen isagoo aad iyo aad u buka) ayaa isaga addoommadiisii u sirqooleen dhiiggii uu qabay oo ilma Yehooyaadaac, kii wadaadka ahaa, oo waxay dileen isagoo sariirtiisii ku jiifa, wuuna dhintay. Oo waxaa lagu aasay magaaladii Daa'uud, laakiinse isagii laguma dhex aasin qabuurihii boqorrada.
Before the battle ended, Joash was severely wounded. Then his officials decided to kill him for murdering Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the [Supreme] Priest. They killed him while he was in his bed. He was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, but they did not bury him in the place where the other kings had been buried.
26 Oo kuwii isaga sirqoolka u dhigayna waxay ahaayeen Saabaad oo ay dhashay Shimcaad oo ahayd reer Cammoon, iyo Yehoosaabaad oo ay dhashay Shimriid oo ahayd reer Moo'aab.
Those who conspired to kill him were Zabad the son of Shimeath, who was a woman from the Ammon [people-group], and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith, who was a woman from the Moab [people-group].
27 Haddaba xaalkii wiilashiisa, iyo culaabtii weynayd ee korkiisa saarnayd, iyo siduu gurigii Ilaah mar dambe u dhisayba, bal eeg waxay ku wada qoran yihiin kitaabkii boqorrada. Oo meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii Amasyaah.
An account of the things that were done by the sons of Joash and the many prophecies about Joash and what he did to repair the temple are written in the scroll called ‘the History of the Kings [of Judah and Israel]’. Then after Joash died, Amaziah his son became the king.
