2 Chronicles 24
1 Joaṣi jẹ́ ọmọ ọdún méje nígbà tí ó jẹ ọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ogójì ọdún. Orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ ni Sibia ti Beerṣeba.
Joash was seven years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for forty years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Zibiah, from Beersheba.
2 Joaṣi ṣe ohun tí ó dára ní ojú Olúwa ní gbogbo àkókò Jehoiada àlùfáà.
And he did what is good before the Lord during all the days of Jehoiada, the priest.
3 Jehoiada yan ìyàwó méjì fún un, ó sì ní àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti àwọn ọmọbìnrin.
Now Jehoiada gave to him two wives, from whom he conceived sons and daughters.
4 Ní àkókò kan, Joaṣi pinnu láti tún ilé Olúwa ṣe.
After these things, it pleased Joash to repair the house of the Lord.
5 Ó pe àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ará Lefi jọ, ó wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ lọ sí àwọn ìlú Juda, kí ẹ sì gba owó ìtọ́sí láti ọwọ́ gbogbo Israẹli láti fi tún ilé Ọlọ́run yín ṣe.” Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ará Lefi kò ṣe é lẹ́ẹ̀kan náà.
And he gathered together the priests and Levites, and he said to them: “Go out to the cities of Judah, and collect from all of Israel money to repair the surfaces of the temple of your God, throughout each year. And do this promptly.” But the Levites acted negligently.
6 Nítorí náà ọba pa á láṣẹ fún Jehoiada olórí àlùfáà ó sì wí fún un pé, “Kí ni ó dé tí o kò béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn ará Lefi láti mú wá láti Juda àti Jerusalẹmu, owó orí tí Mose ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa ti fi lélẹ̀ àti nípasẹ̀ àpéjọ gbogbo Israẹli fún àgọ́ ẹ̀rí?”
And the king summoned Jehoiada, the leader, and he said to him: “Why was there no concern with you, so that you would compel the Levites to bring, from Judah and from Jerusalem, the money that was appointed by Moses, the servant of the Lord, so as to bring it, from the entire multitude of Israel, to the tabernacle of the testimony?
7 Nísinsin yìí, àwọn ọmọkùnrin obìnrin búburú ni Ataliah ti fọ́ ilé Ọlọ́run, ó sì ti lo àwọn nǹkan ìyàsọ́tọ̀ fún àwọn Baali.
For that very impious woman Athaliah and her sons have destroyed the house of God, and they have adorned the shrine of Baal from all the things that had been sanctified in the temple of the Lord.”
8 Nípasẹ̀ ọba, wọn ṣe àpótí wọ́n sì gbé e sí ìta, ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà ilé Olúwa.
Therefore, the king instructed, and they made an ark. And they placed it beside the gate of the house of the Lord, on the outside.
9 A ṣe ìkéde ní Juda àti Jerusalẹmu wí pé wọ́n gbọdọ̀ mú wá fún Olúwa, owó orí tí Mose ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa ti béèrè lọ́wọ́ Israẹli ní aginjù.
And they proclaimed, in Judah and Jerusalem, that each one should bring to the Lord the money that Moses, the servant of God, appointed in the desert, concerning all of Israel.
10 Gbogbo àwọn ìjòyè àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn sì yọ̀, wọ́n sì mú un wá, wọ́n ń jù ú sínú àpótí títí tí ó fi kún.
And all the leaders and all the people rejoiced. And upon entering, they together took and placed so much into the ark of the Lord that it was filled.
11 Nígbàkígbà tí a bá gbé àpótí wọlé láti ọwọ́ àwọn ará Lefi sí ọwọ́ àwọn ìjòyè ọba, tí wọ́n bá sì rí wí pe owó ńlá wà níbẹ̀ àwọn akọ̀wé ọba àti ìjòyè olórí àlùfáà yóò wá láti kó owó rẹ̀ kúrò, wọn yóò sì dá a padà sí ààyè rẹ̀. Wọ́n ṣe èyí déédé, wọ́n sì kó iye owó ńlá.
And when it was time for them to bring the ark before the king by the hands of the Levites, for they saw that there was much money, the scribe of the king, and the one whom the high priest had appointed, entered. And they poured out the money that was in the ark. Then they carried the ark back to its place. And they did this on each day. And an immense sum of money was gathered.
12 Ọba àti Jehoiada fi fún àwọn ọkùnrin náà tí ó sì ń ṣiṣẹ́ nínú ilé Olúwa. Wọ́n fi owó gba ẹni tí ń fi òkúta mọ ilé àti àwọn gbẹ́nàgbẹ́nà láti kọ́ ilé Olúwa padà, àti àwọn òṣìṣẹ́ pẹ̀lú irin àti idẹ láti tún ilé Olúwa ṣe.
And the king and Jehoiada gave it to those who were in charge of the works of the house of the Lord. Then with it they hired hewers of stone, and artisans of every kind, so that they might repair the house of the Lord, and also so that the works of iron and of brass, which had begun to fall, would be reinforced.
13 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn tí ó ń ṣiṣẹ́ náà, sì lọ síwájú àti síwájú ní ọwọ́ wọn, wọ́n sì tún mú ilé Ọlọ́run dúró sí ipò rẹ̀, wọ́n mú un le.
And those who were hired were working industriously. And the breach in the walls was healed by their hands. And they returned the house of the Lord to a pristine state. And they caused it stand firm.
14 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì parí rẹ̀ tán, wọ́n mú owó ìyókù wá sí iwájú ọba àti Jehoiada, a sì fi ohun èlò fún ilé Olúwa, àní ohun èlò fún ìsìn àti fún ẹbọ pẹ̀lú ọpọ́n, àní ohun èlò wúrà àti fàdákà. Wọ́n sì ń rú ẹbọ sísun ní ilé Olúwa nígbà gbogbo ní gbogbo ọjọ́ Jehoiada.
And when they had completed all the works, they brought the remaining part of the money before the king and Jehoiada. And from it, the vessels of the temple were made, for the ministry and for the holocausts, including bowls and other vessels of gold and silver. And holocausts were being offered in the house of the Lord continually, during all the days of Jehoiada.
15 Ṣùgbọ́n Jehoiada di arúgbó, ó sì kún fún ọjọ́, ó sì kú, ẹni àádóje ọdún ni nígbà tí ó kú.
But Jehoiada was old and full of days. And he died when he was one hundred thirty years old.
16 Wọ́n sì sin ín ní ìlú Dafidi pẹ̀lú àwọn ọba, nítorí tí ó ṣe rere ní Israẹli, àti sí Ọlọ́run àti sí ilé rẹ̀.
And they buried him in the City of David, with the kings, because he had done good to Israel and to his house.
17 Lẹ́yìn ikú Jehoiada, àwọn oníṣẹ́ Juda wá láti fi ìforíbalẹ̀ wọn hàn sí ọba. Ó sì fèsì sí wọn.
Then, after Jehoiada passed away, the leaders of Judah entered and reverenced the king. And he was enticed by their obsequiousness, and so he acquiesced to them.
18 Wọ́n pa ilé Olúwa tì, Ọlọ́run baba a wọn. Wọ́n sì ń sin àwọn ère Aṣerah àti àwọn òrìṣà. Nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn yìí, ìbínú Ọlọ́run dé sórí Juda àti Jerusalẹmu.
And they abandoned the temple of the Lord, the God of their fathers, and they served sacred groves and graven images. And wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem because of this sin.
19 Bí ó ti wù kí ó rí, Olúwa rán àwọn wòlíì sí àwọn ènìyàn láti mú wọn padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀. Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ wí pé, wọ́n jẹ́rìí nípa wọn, wọn kì yóò gbọ́.
And he sent prophets to them, so that they might return to the Lord. And though they were offering testimony, they were not willing to listen to them.
20 Nígbà náà, Ẹ̀mí Ọlọ́run wá sórí Sekariah ọmọ Jehoiada wòlíì, ó dúró níwájú àwọn ènìyàn ó sì wí pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: ‘Kí ni ó dé tí ẹ̀yin kò fi tẹ̀lé àṣẹ Olúwa? Ìwọ kì yóò ṣe rere. Nítorí tí ìwọ ti kọ Olúwa sílẹ̀, òun pẹ̀lú ti kọ̀ yín sílẹ̀.’”
And so the Spirit of God clothed Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the priest. And he stood in the sight of the people, and he said to them: “Thus says the Lord God: Why have you transgressed the precept of the Lord, though it was not to your benefit, and why have you abandoned the Lord, so that he would then abandon you?”
21 Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n dìtẹ̀ sí i, àti nípa àṣẹ ọba, wọ́n sọ ọ́ lókùúta pa nínú àgbàlá ààfin ilé Olúwa.
And gathering together against him, they stoned him, beside the place of the king, in the atrium of the house of the Lord.
22 Ọba Joaṣi kò rántí inú rere tí Jehoiada baba Sakariah ti fihàn án ṣùgbọ́n, ó pa ọmọ rẹ̀, tí ó wí bí ó ti ń kú lọ pé, “Kí Olúwa kí ó rí èyí kí ó sì pè ọ́ sí ìṣirò.”
And king Joash did not remember the mercy with which Jehoiada, his father, had treated him; instead he put to death his son. And as he was dying, he said: “May the Lord see and take account.”
23 Ní òpin ọdún, àwọn ọmọ-ogun Aramu yàn láti dojúkọ Joaṣi; wọ́n gbógun ti Juda àti Jerusalẹmu, wọ́n sì pa gbogbo àwọn aṣáájú àwọn ènìyàn. Wọ́n rán gbogbo àwọn ìkógun sí ọba wọn ní Damasku.
And when a year had turned, the army of Syria ascended against him. And they went to Judah and Jerusalem. And they put to death all the leaders of the people. And they sent all the spoils to the king of Damascus.
24 Bí ó ti wù kí ó rí, àwọn ọmọ-ogun Aramu ti wá pẹ̀lú àwọn ọkùnrin díẹ̀ Olúwa sì fi ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn ọmọ-ogun lé wọn lọ́wọ́, nítorí tí Juda ti kọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn baba wọn sílẹ̀. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì ṣe ìdájọ́ Joaṣi.
And although certainly there had arrived a very small number of Syrians, the Lord delivered into their hands an immense multitude. For they had forsaken the Lord, the God of their fathers. Also, against Joash they executed disgraceful judgments.
25 Nígbà tí àwọn ará Aramu kúrò, wọ́n fi Joaṣi sílẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ọ̀pọ̀ ọgbẹ́. Àwọn oníṣẹ́ rẹ̀ dìtẹ̀ si fún pípa ọmọ Jehoiada àlùfáà, wọ́n sì pa á ní orí ibùsùn rẹ̀. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ó sì kú, a sì sin ín sínú ìlú ńlá ti Dafidi, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe nínú àwọn ibojì àwọn ọba.
And upon departing, they left him greatly debilitated. Then his servants rose up against him, in vengeance for the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest. And they killed him on his bed, and he died. And they buried him in the City of David, but not in the sepulchers of the kings.
26 Àwọn tí ó dìtẹ̀ sì jẹ́ Sabadi, ọmọ Ṣimeati arábìnrin Ammoni àti Jehosabadi ọmọ Ṣimiriti arábìnrin Moabu.
Truly, those who ambushed him were Zabad, the son of an Ammonite woman named Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of a Moabite woman named Shimrith.
27 Àkọsílẹ̀ àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, àwọn ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ nípa rẹ̀, àti àkọsílẹ̀ ti ìmúpadà sípò ilé Ọlọ́run ní a kọ sínú ìwé ìtumọ̀ ti àwọn ọba. Amasiah ọmọ rẹ̀ sì rọ́pò rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba.
But concerning his sons, and the sum of money that had been amassed under him, and the repairing of the house of God, these things have been written more diligently in the book of kings. Then his son, Amaziah, reigned in his place.
