Boqorradii Labaad 12
1 Oo Yehoo'aash wuxuu boqor noqday sannaddii toddobaad oo Yeehuu; oo afartan sannadood ayuu Yeruusaalem boqor ku ahaa; oo hooyadiis magaceeduna wuxuu ahaa Sibyaah tii reer Bi'ir Shebac.
When Jehu had been ruling Israel for almost seven years, Joash became the king of Judah. He ruled in Jerusalem for 40 years. His mother was Zibiah, from Beersheba [city].
2 Oo Yehoo'aashna wuxuu sameeyey wixii Rabbiga hortiisa ku qummanaa wakhtigii uu wadaadkii Yehooyaadaac isaga baray oo dhan.
All his life, he did what pleased Yahweh, because Jehoiada the priest instructed/taught him.
3 Habase yeeshee meelihii sarsare lama baabbi'in; oo dadkuna meelihii sarsare weli way ku allabaryi jireen, fooxna way ku shidi jireen.
But the places where the people worshiped [Yahweh] on the tops of hills were not destroyed, and they continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense at those places, [instead of at the place that God had chosen for them in Jerusalem].
4 Oo Yehoo'aash wuxuu ku yidhi wadaaddadii, Alaabta quduuska laga dhigay ee guriga Rabbiga la keenay lacagteeda oo dhan, taas oo ah lacagta nin waluba bixiyey markuu u gudbay kuwa la tiriyo, iyo lacagta kuwii lagu qiimeeyey, iyo lacagta nin kastaba qalbigiisa ka damcay inuu guriga Rabbiga keeno,
Joash said to the priests, “You must take all the money which the people contribute, both the money they are required to give and the money that they themselves decide to give, as sacred offerings to buy things for the temple.
5 wadaaddada nin waluba ha ka qaado kii uu yaqaan, oo ha ku dhiso meelaha guriga ka jajaban meel kasta oo meel jaban laga heloba.
Each priest must take the money from people who know him (OR, from one of the treasurers), and he must use that money to repair the temple whenever he sees that there is something that needs to be repaired.”
6 Laakiinse sannaddii saddex iyo labaatanaad oo Yehoo'aash wadaaddadii weli ma ay dhisin guriga meelihiisii jajabnaa.
But after Joash had been ruling for almost twenty-three years, the priests still had not repaired anything in the temple.
7 Markaasaa Boqor Yehoo'aash wuxuu u yeedhay wadaadkii Yehooyaadaac ahaa, iyo wadaaddadii kaleba, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War maxaad guriga meelihiisa jajaban u dhisi weydeen? Haddaba lacag dambe ha ka qaadanina dadka aad taqaaniin, laakiinse meelaha jajaban ee guriga aawadood ku bixiya.
So Joash summoned Jehoiada and the other priests and said to them, “(Why are you not repairing things in the temple?/You should have been repairing things in the temple!) [RHQ] From now on, you must not keep the money that you receive from people who know you (OR, the treasurers). You must give it to the people who will be repairing things in the temple!”
8 Oo wadaaddadiina waxay oggolaadeen inayan dadka lacag dambe ka qaadin, oo guriga meelihiisa jajabanna ayan dhisin.
The priests agreed to do that, and they also agreed that they themselves would not do the repair work.
9 Laakiinse wadaadkii Yehooyaadaac ahaa ayaa intuu sanduuq qaaday daboolka ka dalooliyey oo wuxuu ag qotomiyey meeshii allabariga xagga midigta markii guriga Rabbiga la soo gelayo; oo wadaaddadii albaabka dhawri jiray ayaa ku riday lacagtii guriga Rabbiga la keenay oo dhan.
Then Jehoiada took a chest and bored a hole in the lid. He placed it alongside the altar [for burning incense/sacrifices] that was on the right as anyone enters the temple. The priests who guarded the entrance to the temple put in the box the money that was brought to the temple.
10 Oo markay arkeen in lacag badanu sanduuqii ku jirto ayaa waxaa yimid karraanigii boqorka iyo wadaadkii sare, oo kiishash bay ku gureen markay tiriyeen lacagtii laga helay gurigii Rabbiga.
Whenever they saw that there was a lot of money in the chest, the king’s secretary and the Supreme Priest would come and count the money. Then they would put it in bags and tie the bags shut.
11 Oo lacagtii la miisaamay ayay u dhiibeen kuwii shuqulka sameeyey, kuwaas oo guriga Rabbiga u talin jiray; oo waxay siiyeen nijaarradii iyo waxdhisayaashii ka shaqeeyey gurigii Rabbiga,
Then, after they weighed it, they would give the money to the men who supervised the work in the temple. Then the supervisors would use that money to pay the carpenters and builders who did the repair work in the temple,
12 iyo wastaadyadii, iyo kuwii dhagaxyada qori jiray, waxayna u bixiyeen in lagu iibiyo alwaax iyo dhagaxyo la qoray si loogu dhiso meelihii guriga Rabbiga ka jajabnaa, iyo wax kasta oo loo bixiyey in guriga lagu dhiso.
and the masons and the stone cutters. Also with some of that money they bought timber and stones that had been cut to be used in the repair work, and to pay all the other expenses for the repair work.
13 Laakiinse lacagtii guriga Rabbiga la soo geliyey guriga Rabbiga looguma samayn koobab lacag ah, iyo alaab laambado lagu safeeyo, iyo maddiibado, iyo turumbooyin, iyo innaba weelal dahab ah amase weelal lacag ah,
But they did not use any of that money [to pay men] to make silver cups or wick trimmers or bowls or trumpets or any other items made of silver or gold to be used in the temple.
14 waayo, waxay lacagtii siiyeen kuwii shuqulka sameeyey, oo waxay ku dhiseen gurigii Rabbiga.
All that money was given to the men who were doing the work of repairing the temple.
15 Oo weliba lama ay xisaabtamin raggii ay lacagta u dhiibeen inay iyagu siiyaan nimankii shuqulka sameeyey, maxaa yeelay, waxay ku shaqeeyeen aaminnimo.
The men who supervised the work always did things honestly, so the king’s secretary and the Supreme Priest never required that the supervisors report what they had spent the money for.
16 Oo lacagtii qurbaannada xadgudubka iyo lacagtii qurbaannada dembiga toona lama soo gelin gurigii Rabbiga; oo waxaa iska lahaa wadaaddada.
But the money that people gave to pay for the wrong things that they had done and the money they gave to purify themselves because of the sins that they had committed was not put in the chest. That money belonged to the priests.
17 Markaasaa Xasaa'eel oo ahaa boqorkii Suuriya kacay oo wuxuu la diriray Gad, wuuna qabsaday. Kolkaasaa Xasaa'eel wuxuu u jeestay oo u kacay Yeruusaalem.
At that time, Hazael, the king of Syria, went [with his army] and attacked Gath [city] and conquered it. Then he decided that they would attack Jerusalem.
18 Markaasaa Yehoo'aash oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah wada qaaday alaabtii quduuska ahayd oo dhan, taasoo ay boqorradii dalka Yahuudah quduus ka dhigeen, iyagoo ahaa awowayaashiis Yehooshaafaad, iyo Yehooraam, iyo Axasyaah, iyo weliba isaga alaabtiisii quduuska ahayd, iyo kulli dahabkii laga helay khasnadihii guriga Rabbiga iyo gurigii boqorkaba, oo wuxuu u diray boqorkii Suuriya oo Xasaa'eel ahaa; oo isna Yeruusaalem wuu ka tegey.
So Joash, the king of Judah, took all the money that the previous kings, Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, had dedicated to Yahweh. He added some of his own money, and all the gold that was in the rooms in the temple where valuable things were kept/stored, and the gold in his palace, and sent it all to King Hazael, [to (appease him/persuade him to not attack Jerusalem)]. So King Hazael [took his army] away from Jerusalem.
19 Haddaba Yoo'aash falimihiisii kale iyo wixii uu sameeyey oo dhammu sow kuma qorna kitaabkii taariikhda boqorradii dalka Yahuudah?
[If you want to read more of] what Joash did, [it] is all written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
20 Oo addoommadiisii intay ku kaceen ayay sirqooleen, oo waxay Yoo'aash ku dileen guriga Millo agtiisa oo ku ag yiil jidka u kaca xagga Sillaa.
Joash’s officials plotted against him, and two of them killed Joash on the road that goes down to [the] Silla [district]. The two men who did that were Jozabad, the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer. Joash was buried in the place where his ancestors were buried, [in the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then Joash’s son Amaziah became the king of Judah.
21 Oo kuwii isagii dilay waxay ahaayeen addoommadiisii oo ahaa Yooskar oo ay Shimcaad dhashay iyo Yehoosaabaad oo ay Shomeer dhashay; wuuna dhintay, oo waxaa awowayaashiis lagula aasay magaaladii Daa'uud; oo meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii Amasyaah.
