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.
Seven years old, was Joash when he began to reign, and, forty years, reigned he, in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Zibiah, of Beersheba.
2 Joaṣi ṣe ohun tí ó dára ní ojú Olúwa ní gbogbo àkókò Jehoiada àlùfáà.
And Joash did that which was right, in the eyes of Yahweh, -all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
3 Jehoiada yan ìyàwó méjì fún un, ó sì ní àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti àwọn ọmọbìnrin.
And Jehoiada took for him two wives, —and he begat sons and daughters.
4 Ní àkókò kan, Joaṣi pinnu láti tún ilé Olúwa ṣe.
And it came to pass, after this, that it was near the heart of Joash to renew the house of Yahweh.
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.
So he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said unto them—Go ye out unto the cities of Judah, and gather out of all Israel silver to repair the house of your God, year by year, and, ye, shall hasten the matter, —but the Levites hastened it not.
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?”
Then the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Wherefore hast thou not required of the Levites, to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tribute of Moses the servant of Yahweh, and of the convocation of Israel, —for the tent of 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, as for Athaliah the Lawless, her sons, brake up the House of God, —moreover, all the hallowed things of the house of Yahweh, offered they unto the Baalim.
8 Nípasẹ̀ ọba, wọn ṣe àpótí wọ́n sì gbé e sí ìta, ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà ilé Olúwa.
So the king bade [them], and they made a certain chest, —and set it in the gate of the house of Yahweh, 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 made a proclamation, throughout Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in unto Yahweh the tribute of Moses the servant of God, laid upon Israel in the desert.
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 rulers and all the people rejoiced, —and brought in and cast into the chest, until they had finished.
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 it came to pass, what time the chest was brought into the office of the king by the hand of the Levites, and when they had seen that abundant was the silver, that the scribe of the king came in, and the officer of the chief priest, and they emptied the chest, and bare it, and put it back in its place, —thus, they did, day by day, and collected silver, in abundance;
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 unto such as were doing the work of labouring upon the house of Yahweh, and they were hiring masons and carpenters, to renew the house of Yahweh, —moreover also, such as were fashioners of iron and bronze, to repair the house of Yahweh.
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.
So the doers of the work wrought, and the work of restoration went forward, in their hand, —and they caused the house of God to stand forth according to its due proportions, and made it strong.
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 finished, they brought in before the king and Jehoiada the rest of the silver, and he made it into utensils for the house of Yahweh, utensils of attendance, and bowls and spoons, even utensils of gold and silver. Then were they offering ascending-sacrifices in the house of Yahweh, continually, 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 waxed old and became satisfied with days, and died, —a hundred and thirty years old, when he died.
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 in Israel, both toward God and his house.
17 Lẹ́yìn ikú Jehoiada, àwọn oníṣẹ́ Juda wá láti fi ìforíbalẹ̀ wọn hàn sí ọba. Ó sì fèsì sí wọn.
Now, after the death of Jehoiada, came the rulers of Judah, and bowed themselves down unto the king, —then, hearkened the king unto 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 forsook the house of Yahweh, God of their fathers, and served the Sacred Stems, and the images, —so there was wrath against Judah and Jerusalem, for this their guilt.
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 among them prophets, to bring them back unto Yahweh, —and they testified against them, but they would not give ear.
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, the spirit of God, clothed Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest, and he took his stand above the people, —and said unto them, Thus, saith God, Wherefore are, ye, transgressing the commandments of Yahweh, so that ye cannot prosper, because ye have forsaken Yahweh, therefore hath he forsaken you.
21 Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n dìtẹ̀ sí i, àti nípa àṣẹ ọba, wọ́n sọ ọ́ lókùúta pa nínú àgbàlá ààfin ilé Olúwa.
So they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones, by the commandment of the king, —in the court of the house of Yahweh.
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.”
Thus Joash the king, remembered not, the lovingkindness which Jehoiada his father had done for him, but slew his son, —and, as he died, he said, Yahweh see and require!
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 it came to pass, when the year had gone round, that the force of Syria came up against him, and they entered Judah, and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the rulers of the people, from among the people, —and, all the spoil of them, sent they unto 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.
Although, with a comparatively few men, came the force of Syria, yet, Yahweh, delivered into their hand an exceeding large force, —because they had forsaken Yahweh, the God of their fathers, —and, upon Joash, executed they 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, when they had departed from him, for they left him with sore diseases, his own servants conspired against him, for the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him upon his bed, and he died, —and, though they buried him in the city of David, yet did they not bury him in the sepulchres of the kings.
26 Àwọn tí ó dìtẹ̀ sì jẹ́ Sabadi, ọmọ Ṣimeati arábìnrin Ammoni àti Jehosabadi ọmọ Ṣimiriti arábìnrin Moabu.
Now, these, are they that conspired against him, —Zabad son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
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, as for his sons, and the greatness of the oracle on him, and the foundation of the house of God, lo! there they are written, in the commentary of the Book of Kings, —and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
