2 Weche Mag Ndalo 24

1 Joash ne ja-higni abiriyo kane odoko ruoth kendo norito piny kuom higni piero angʼwen kodak Jerusalem. Min mare ne nyinge Zibia mane nyar Bersheba.

Joas was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Sabia of Bersabee.

2 Joash notimo gima kare e nyim wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye e ndalo duto mane Jehoyada jadolo.

And Joas did that which right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jodae the priest.

3 Jehoyada nogamone mon ariyo manonywologo yawuowi kod nyiri.

And Jodae took to himself two wives, and they bore sons and daughters.

4 Bangʼ ndalo manok Joash noparo mondo olos hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.

And it came to pass afterward that it came into the heart of Joas to repair the house of the Lord.

5 Nochoko jonabi kod jo-Lawi kanyakla achiel kowachonegi niya, Dhiuru e miech Juda kendo usol pesa ma jo-Israel owinjore ogol higa ka higa mondo walosgo hekalu mar Nyasachu. Neuru ni utimo mano mapiyo. To jo-Lawi ne ok otimo mapiyo.

And he gathered the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out into the cities of Juda, and collect money of all Israel to repair the house of the Lord from year to year, and make haste to speak [of it]. But the Levites hasted not.

6 Omiyo ruoth noluongo Jehoyada jadolo maduongʼ mopenje niya, “Angʼo mosemoni oro jo-Lawi mondo osol osuru manoket gi Musa jatich Jehova Nyasaye kod jodong Israel kuom jo-Juda gi jo-Jerusalem mondo olosgo Hemb Romo?”

And king Joas called Jodae the chief, and said to him, Why have you not looked after the Levites, so that they should bring from Juda and Jerusalem that which was prescribed by Moses the man of God, when he assembled Israel at the tabernacle of witness?

7 Koro yawuot Athalia dhako marachno noseketho hekalu mar Nyasaye kendo negitiyo ni Baal gi gik mopwodhi mag Nyasaye.

For Gotholia was a transgressor, and her sons tore down the house of God; for they offered the holy things of the house of the Lord to Baalim.

8 Bangʼe ruoth nogolo chik mondo olos sanduku, kendo okete e dhoranga hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.

And the king said, Let a box be made, and let it be put at the gate of the house of the Lord without.

9 Noor wach mondo oland ne jo-Juda gi jo-Jerusalem ni mondo gikelne Jehova Nyasaye osuru mane Musa jatich Nyasaye ochiko jo-Israel e thim.

And let [men] proclaim in Juda an in Jerusalem, that [the people] should bring to the Lord, as Moses the servant of God spoke concerning Israel in the wilderness.

10 Jotelo kod ji duto nokelo pokgi gi mor ka giketogi e sandugno nyaka nopongʼ thich.

And all the princes and all the people gave, and brought in, and cast into the box until it was filled.

11 E kinde ka kinde kane jo-Lawi okelo sanduku ne jotend ruoth kendo kane gineno ni pesa ne nitiere mangʼeny, to jagoro mar joka ruoth kod jatelo margi kod jatij jadolo maduongʼ ne jobiro mondo okaw sanduku kendo kane giseloko gik manie sanduku negidwoke kare. Kamano e kaka negitimo pile ka pile kendo negichoko pesa mangʼeny mokalo.

And it came to pass, when they brought in the box to the officers of the king by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that the money was more than sufficient, then came the king's scribe, and the officer of the high priest, and emptied the box, and restored it to its place. Thus they did day by day, and collected much money.

12 Ruoth kod Jehoyada nochiwo pesa ne jogo mane timo tich mane dwarore mar loso hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Negindiko jogedo kod jopa bao kaachiel gi joma olony e tich nyinyo kod mula mondo olos hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.

And the king and Jodae the priest gave it to the workmen employed in the service of the house of the Lord, and they hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the Lord, also smiths and braziers to repair the house of the Lord.

13 Jogo mane rito tich ne ngʼiyo tich maber kendo tich nodhi maber e lwetgi. Negiloso hekalu mar Nyasaye kaluwore gi kaka nogere chon kendo negimedo sire mondo omed bedo motegno.

And the workmen wrought, and the works prospered in their hands, and they established the house of the Lord on its foundation, and strengthened [it].

14 Kane gisetieko, negikelo pesa mane odongʼ ne ruoth kod Jehoyada mi negiloso gik moko mitiyogo e lemo ei hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kaka: gik mitiyogo e misango miwangʼo pep kaachiel gi dise to gi gik mamoko molos gi dhahabu kod fedha. Negitimo misengini miwangʼo pep mapile pile e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kinde duto ka Jehoyada pod ngima.

And when they had finished [it], they brought to the king and to Jodae the remainder of the money, and they made vessels for the house of the Lord, vessels of service for whole burnt offerings, and gold and silver [censers]: and they offered up whole burnt offerings in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Jodae.

15 Jehoyada koro noti kendo hike noniangʼ mine otho ka en ja-higni mia achiel gi piero adek.

And Jodae grew old, being full of days, and he died, being a hundred and thirty years old at his death.

16 Ne oike e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi gi ruodhi nikech gigo mabeyo mane osetimo ni Nyasaye kod hekalu e Israel.

And they buried him with the kings in the city of David, because he had dealt well with Israel, and with God and his house.

17 Bangʼ tho Jehoyada, jotend jo-Juda nobiro mondo olim ruoth mi nowinjogi.

And it came to pass after the death of Jodae, [that] the princes of Juda went in, and did obeisance to the king. Then the king listened to them.

18 Negijwangʼo hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kweregi kendo negilamo sirni milamo mag Ashera kod nyiseche manono. Mirima nomako Nyasaye gi jo-Juda gi jo-Jerusalem nikech richogi.

And they forsook the house of the Lord God of their fathers, and served the Astartes and idols: and there was wrath upon Juda and Jerusalem in that day.

19 Kata obedo ni Jehova Nyasaye nooronegi jonabi mondo odwokgi ire kendo osiemgi malit, to ne gidagi winjo.

yet he sent prophets to them, to turn them to the Lord; but they listened not: and he testified to them, but they obeyed not.

20 Eka Roho mar Nyasaye nolor kuom Zekaria wuod Jehoyada jadolo. Nochungʼ e nyim ji kowacho niya, “Nyasaye wacho kama: ‘Angʼo momiyo ok urito chike Jehova Nyasaye? Omiyo ok unuyud hawi nikech useweyo Jehova Nyasaye omiyo en bende oseweyou.’”

And the Spirit of God came upon Azarias the son of Jodae the priest, and he stood up above the people, and said, Thus says the Lord, Why do you transgress the commandments of the Lord? so shall you not prosper; for you have forsaken the Lord, and he will forsake you.

21 To ne giriwore ka gikwedo Zekaria mi negichiele kod kite e laru mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kaka ne ruoth omiyogi chik; mi notho.

And they conspired against him, and stone him by command of king Joas in the court of the Lord's house.

22 Ruoth Joash ne ok oparo ngʼwono mane Jehoyada wuon Zekaria notimone, to nonego wuode mane otho kaywak niya, “Mad Jehova Nyasaye ne gima itimona kendo ochulni kuor.”

So Joas remembered not the kindness which his father Jodae had exercised towards him, but killed his son. And as he died, he said, The Lord look upon [it], and judge.

23 Kar chak higa, jolweny mag Aram nobiro monjo Joash, negimonjo Juda kod Jerusalem kendo neginego jotendgi duto kendo mwandu mane giyako ne giorone ruodhgi Damaski.

And it came to pass after the end of the year, [that] the host of Syria went up against him, and came against Juda and Jerusalem: and they killed all the chiefs of the people amongst the people, and all their spoils they sent to the king of Damascus.

24 Kata obedo ni jolweny mag Aram ne nok moloyo, Jehova Nyasaye nochiwo jo-Juda e lwetgi mana ka gima ne gin jolweny mangʼeny. Nikech Juda noweyo luwo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kweregi kendo nongʼadne Joash bura.

For the army of Syria came with few men, yet God gave into their hands a very large army, because they had forsaken the God of their fathers; and he brought judgements on Joas.

25 Kane jo-Aram osea ne giweyo ka gihinyo Joash malit. Eka jodonge noriworene nikech nek mane onegogo wuod Jehoyada jadolo mi neginege e kitandane. Omiyo notho kendo ne giike e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi to ok kar yiko ruodhi.

And after they had departed from him, when they had left him in sore diseases, then his servants conspired against him because of the blood of the son of Jodae the priest, and killed him on his bed, and he died, and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchre of the kings.

26 Jogo mane oriworene ne gin Zabad wuod Shimeath nyar Amon kod Jehozabad wuod Shimrith nyar Moab.

And they that conspired against him were Zabed the son of Samaath the Ammanite, and Jozabed the son of Samareth the Moabite.

27 Weche mane ondiki kuom yawuote gi weche mane jonabi okoro kuome kaachiel gi kaka noloso hekalu mar Nyasaye ondiki e kitap weche mag ndalo mar ruodhi. Kendo Amazia wuode nobedo ruoth kare.

And all his sons, and the five came to him: and the other [matters], behold, they are written in the book of the kings. And Amasias his son reigned in his stead.
