2 Chronicles 24
1 Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah, of Beersheba.
Siangpahrang ah oh nathuem ah Joash loe saning sarihto oh boeh; anih mah Jerusalem to saning quipalito thung uk. Anih ih amno loe Beersheba ih kami Zibiah.
2 Joash did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
Jehoiada qaima ah oh nathung, Joash loe Angraeng mikhnukah hmuen kahoih to sak.
3 Jehoiada took for him two wives, and he became the father of sons and daughters.
Jehoiada loe zu hnetto bok moe, capa hoi canunawk to sak.
4 After this, Joash intended to restore the LORD’s house.
Saning nazetto maw oh pacoengah, Joash loe Angraeng ih im pathoep hanah poekhaih a tawnh.
5 He gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, “Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather money to repair the house of your God from all Israel from year to year. See that you expedite this matter.” However the Levites did not do it right away.
Anih mah qaima hoi Levi acaengnawk to nawnto pakhueng moe, na Sithaw ih im pakhraih hanah, Judah vangpuinawk boih ah caeh oh loe, Israel acaengnawk mah saning kruek paek han koi tamut to cong oh, hae hmuen hae vaihiah sah o roep ah, tiah a naa. Toe Levi acaengnawk mah sah o roep ai.
6 The king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, “Why have not you required of the Levites to bring in the tax of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the assembly of Israel, out of Judah and out of Jerusalem, for the Tent of the Testimony?”
Siangpahrang mah qaima Jehoiada to kawk moe, Hnukung Kahni im hanah, Angraeng ih tamna Mosi hoi Israel kaminawk mah sak ih baktih toengah, Tipongah tamut cong hanah Levi acaengnawk to Jerusalem vangpui hoi Judah prae boih ah na caehsak ai loe?
7 For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up God’s house; and they also gave all the dedicated things of the LORD’s house to the Baals.
Nongpata kasae Athaliah ih capanawk mah Sithaw ih im to muk o moe, im ah tathlangh o ih kaciim hmuennawk to Baal hanah paek o pongah, im to pakhraih han angai boeh, tiah a naa.
8 So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it outside at the gate of the LORD’s house.
Siangpahrang lokpaekhaih baktih toengah, nihcae mah thingkhong maeto sak o moe, Angraeng ih im khongkha tasa bangah suek o.
9 They made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for the LORD the tax that Moses the servant of God laid on Israel in the wilderness.
Sithaw ih tamna Mosi mah praezaek ah, Israel kaminawk khaeah hmuenmae to cong o baktih toengah, Angraeng khaeah tamut to sin oh, tiah Judah hoi Jerusalem kaminawk khaeah a thuih pae.
10 All the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had filled it.
Angraengnawk hoi kaminawk boih anghoe o, phoisa to sin o moe, boeng ai karoek to thingkhong thungah pacaeng o.
11 Whenever the chest was brought to the king’s officers by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king’s scribe and the chief priest’s officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
Levi acaengnawk mah to phoisa to hmuenmae patunghaih ahmuen ah suek o; phoisa loe paroeai pop pongah, siangpahrang toksah angraeng hoi qaima ih toksah angraengnawk to angzoh o; nihcae mah phoisa to lak o, thingkhong to loe angmah ahmuen ah suek o let. Ni thokkruek to tiah a sak o pongah, phoisa paroeai hak o.
12 The king and Jehoiada gave it to those who did the work of the service of the LORD’s house. They hired masons and carpenters to restore the LORD’s house, and also those who worked iron and bronze to repair the LORD’s house.
Siangpahrang hoi Jehoiada mah to phoisa to Angraeng im thungah toksah kaminawk khaeah paek hoi moe, Angraeng ih im pathoep hanah, param long sah kop kami, thing aat thaih kaminawk to thlai o; sum hoi sumkamling sui thaih kaminawk doeh Angraeng ih im sak hanah thlai o.
13 So the workmen worked, and the work of repairing went forward in their hands. They set up God’s house as it was designed, and strengthened it.
Toksah kaminawk loe katoengah toksak o pongah, Angraeng ih im loe tangsuek nathuem ih baktiah pathoep o moe, cak o sak let.
14 When they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, from which were made vessels for the LORD’s house, even vessels with which to minister and to offer, including spoons and vessels of gold and silver. They offered burnt offerings in the LORD’s house continually all the days of Jehoiada.
Toksak boeng pacoengah loe kamtlai tangka to siangpahrang hoi Jehoiada khaeah paek o let; kamtlai to ih phoisa hoiah Angraeng ih im thungah toksak naah patoh koi sui, sumkanglung, laom sabaenawk, angbawnhaih laom sabaenawk, kathlahnawk, laom sabaenawk to a sak o; Jehoiada hing thung, Angraeng ih im thungah boeng thai ai hmai angbawnhaih to a sak o.
15 But Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died. He was one hundred thirty years old when he died.
Jehoiada loe mitong parai moe, saning cumvai, quithumto phak naah duek.
16 They buried him in David’s city among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house.
Anih loe Israel prae thungah Sithaw hoi Angraeng ih im hanah hmuen kahoih to sak pongah, David vangpui thungah, siangpahrang salakah aphum o.
17 Now after the death of Jehoiada, the princes of Judah came and bowed down to the king. Then the king listened to them.
Jehoiada duek pacoengah, Judah angraengnawk loe siangpahrang bok hanah angzoh o. To naah siangpahrang mah nihcae ih lok to tahngaih pae.
18 They abandoned the house of the LORD, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherah poles and the idols, so wrath came on Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness.
Nihcae loe ampanawk ih Angraeng Sithaw im to caeh o taak moe, Asherah thing tlim ih krangnawk to bok o; to tiah zaehaih to a sak o pongah, Sithaw palungphuihaih Judah hoi Israel nuiah phak.
19 Yet he sent prophets to them to bring them again to the LORD, and they testified against them; but they would not listen.
Angraeng angmah khaeah kawk let hanah, nihcae khaeah tahmaanawk to patoeh, tahmaanawk mah thuih pae o, toe tahngai o ai.
20 The Spirit of God came on Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said to them, “God says, ‘Why do you disobey the LORD’s commandments, so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, he has also forsaken you.’”
To naah Sithaw ih Muithla loe qaima Jehoiada capa Zekariah nuiah phak; anih loe kaminawk hmaa ah angdoet moe, Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; Khosak hoihaih oh han ai ah, tipongah Angraeng lokpaekhaih to na aek o loe? Angraeng na caeh o taak boeh pongah, Angraeng mah doeh na caeh o taak tih boeh, tiah a naa.
21 They conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the LORD’s house.
Toe nihcae mah anih to hum hanah pacaeng o lat; siangpahrang lokpaekhaih rang hoiah anih to Angraeng ih im longhmaa ah thlung hoiah vah o mat.
22 Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. When he died, he said, “May the LORD look at it, and repay it.”
Zekariah ampa Jehoiada mah anih nuiah tawnh ih tahmenhaih to Joash siangpahrang mah panoek pae ai, a capa to hum pae ving. Anih mah duek tom naah, Angraeng mah hnu nasoe loe, na nuiah lokcaek nasoe, tiah a naa.
23 At the end of the year, the army of the Syrians came up against him. They came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all their plunder to the king of Damascus.
Saning boenghaih bangah loe, Joash tuk hanah Syria misatuh kaminawk Judah hoiah Jerusalem ah angzoh o moe, zaehoikung kacoehtanawk to hum o boih; a lak o ih hmuennawk to angmacae ih Damasaka siangpahrang khaeah pat o boih.
24 For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men; and the LORD delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers. So they executed judgment on Joash.
Syria misatuh kaminawk loe kami zetta ni angzoh o; Judahnawk loe ampanawk ih Angraeg Sithaw to pahnawt o ving pongah, Angraeng mah pop parai misatuh kaminawk to nihcae ban ah paek; to pongah Syria kaminawk mah Joash to danpaek o.
25 When they had departed from him (for they left him seriously wounded), his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed, and he died. They buried him in David’s city, but they did not bury him in the tombs of the kings.
Misanawk anih khae hoi amlaem pacoengah, Joash loe paroeai patangkhang; qaima Jehoiada capa to a hum pongah, angmah ih tamnanawk mah anih to hum hanah pacaeng o; anih loe angmah ih iihkhun nuiah hum o moe, duek; anih loe David vangpui thungah aphum o; toe siangpahrangnawk ih taprong ah aphum o ai.
26 These are those who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
Anih hum kami hnik loe, Amon acaeng Shimeath capa Zabad hoi Moab acaeng Shimrith capa Jehozabad.
27 Now concerning his sons, the greatness of the burdens laid on him, and the rebuilding of God’s house, behold, they are written in the commentary of the book of the kings. Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
Anih capanawk ih kawng, hmuen kazit phawhhaih kawng, Sithaw ih im pathoephaih kawngnawk loe siangpahrang toksakhaih ruici cabu thungah tarik o. Anih zuengah a capa Amaziah mah prae to uk.
