2 Chronicles 24
1 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.
Joash te kum rhih a lo ca vaengah manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum sawmli manghai. A manu ming tah Beersheba lamkah Zihiah ni.
2 And Joash did that which was right, in the eyes of Yahweh, -all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
Khosoih Jehoiada kah a tue khuiah tah Joash loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem a saii.
3 And Jehoiada took for him two wives, —and he begat sons and daughters.
Anih ham te Jehoiada loh yuu panit a paek tih canu capa a sak.
4 And it came to pass, after this, that it was near the heart of Joash to renew the house of Yahweh.
Te dongah a hnuk lamtah BOEIPA im te tlaih ham Joash kah lungbuei ah a om pah.
5 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.
Te phoeiah khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek te a coi tih amih te, “Judah khopuei rhoek la cet uh. Na Pathen im duel hamla kum khat, kum khat a rhoeh la Israel pum taengkah tangka coi uh. Nangmih te a ol bangla na tokthuet uh mai akhaw Levi rhoek tah tok boel saeh,” a ti nah.
6 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?
Manghai loh boeilu Jehoiada te a khue tih a taengah, “Olphong dap dongkah hamla BOEIPA kah sal Moses neh Israel hlangping kah buham te, Judah lamkah neh Jerusalem lamloh khuen ham te balae tih Levi taengah na toem pawh?
7 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.
Halangnu Athaliah kah a ca rhoek loh Pathen im te a muk uh coeng. BOEIPA im kah hnocim boeih khaw Baal hamla a saii uh,” a ti nah.
8 So the king bade [them], and they made a certain chest, —and set it in the gate of the house of Yahweh, outside.
Te dongah manghai loh a ti bangla thingkawng pakhat a saii uh tih BOEIPA im poeng ben vongka ah a khueh uh.
9 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.
Te phoeiah ah tah khosoek kah Israel taeng lamloh Pathen kah sal Moses buham te BOEIPA taengla khuen ham te Judah ah khaw Jerusalem ah ol a paek uh.
10 And all the rulers and all the people rejoiced, —and brought in and cast into the chest, until they had finished.
Te vaengah mangpa boeih neh pilnam boeih khaw a kohoe uh. Te dongah a khuen uh tih a thingkawng dongah a bae la a sang uh.
11 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;
A tue a pha vaengah tah thingkawng te Levi kut lamloh manghai kah cawhkung taengla a khuen. Amih loh tangka muep a hmuh vaengah tah manghai kah cadaek neh khosoih boeilu kah hlangtawt te ha pawk. Te vaengah thingkawng te a kong uh tih a khuen uh. Amah a hmuen la a mael puei uh tih a hnin, hnin ah te tlam te a saii uh dongah tangka khaw a cung la a tung uh.
12 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.
Te te manghai neh Jehoiada loh BOEIPA im kah thothuengnah bitat aka saii taengah a paek tih BOEIPA im a tlaih vaengkah lungto aka dae neh kutthai rhoek, BOEIPA im a duel vaengkah thi neh rhohum kutthai rhoek ham khaw a paang nah la om.
13 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.
Aka saii rhoek loh bitat a saii uh van dongah amih kut dongkah bitat tah sading la cet. Pathen im te a lan a tang bangla a thoh uh tih a duel uh.
14 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.
A khah uh phoeiah tah tangka coih te manghai neh Jehoiada mikhmuh la a khuen uh. Te te BOEIPA im kah hnopai la, thohtatnah hnopai la a saii tih yakbu, sui neh cak hnopai khaw a khuen. Te dongah Jehoiada tue khuiah tah BOEIPA im ah hmueihhlutnah aka khuen khaw phueih om.
15 But Jehoiada waxed old and became satisfied with days, and died, —a hundred and thirty years old, when he died.
Jehoiada te patong tih a khohnin khaw cup coeng. A dueknah te khaw kum ya sawmthum a lo ca vaengah duek.
16 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.
Anih tah Israel khuiah khaw Pathen ham neh a im ham a then a saii dongah David khopuei ah manghai rhoek taengah a up uh.
17 Now, after the death of Jehoiada, came the rulers of Judah, and bowed themselves down unto the king, —then, hearkened the king unto them.
Tedae Jehoiada a dueknah hnukah tah Judah mangpa rhoek te cet uh tih manghai taengah bakop uh. Te vaengah manghai loh amih taengkah te a hnatun.
18 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.
A napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA im te a hnoo uh tih Asherah neh muei taengah tho a thueng uh. Amih kah dumlai kongah Judah neh Jerusalem soah thinhulnah om coeng.
19 And he sent among them prophets, to bring them back unto Yahweh, —and they testified against them, but they would not give ear.
Amih te BOEIPA taengla mael puei ham amih taengah tonghma rhoek a tueih tih amih te a rhalrhing sak uh akhaw hnatun uh pawh.
20 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.
Te vaengah Pathen kah Mueihla loh khosoih Jehoiada capa Zekhariah te a thing. Te dongah pilnam te a taengah a pai thil tih amih te, “Pathen loh he ni a thui. Balae tih BOEIPA kah olpaek te na poe. Te dongah na thaihtak uh mahpawh. BOEIPA te na hnoo uh dongah nangmih khaw n'hnoo van coeng,” a ti nah.
21 So they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones, by the commandment of the king, —in the court of the house of Yahweh.
Te dongah anih te a taeng uh tih manghai olpaek bangla BOEIPA im kah vongup ah lungto neh a dae uh.
22 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!
Zekhariah napa Jehoiada loh Joash taengah a tueng sak sitlohnah te manghai Joash loh a poek moenih. Tedae a capa te a ngawn pah tih a duek thuk vaengah tah, “BOEIPA loh hmu saeh lamtah toem nawn saeh,” a ti.
23 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.
Kum te a thoknah a pha vaengah tah Aram caem loh anih taengla cet. Judah neh Jerusalem te a kun thiluh. Te vaengah pilnam lamkah pilnam mangpa boeih te a phae uh tih amih kah kutbuem boeih te Damasku manghai taengla a pat uh.
24 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.
Aram caem te hlang a yol neh cet dae, tatthai cungkuem aka yet bangla BOEIPA loh amih kut ah a paek. A napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA te a toeng uh dongah Joash soah tholhphu a suk.
25 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.
Anih taeng lamloh a khoe uh vaengah anih te boengha boengha hoeng la hnoo uh. Khosoih Jehoiada koca rhoek kah thii kongah anih te a sal rhoek loh a taeng uh tih a baiphaih dongah amah la a ngawn uh. A duek vaengah anih te David khopuei ah a up uh. Tedae manghai phuel ah a up moenih.
26 Now, these, are they that conspired against him, —Zabad son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
Anih aka taeng rhoek tah Ammoni Shimeath capa Zabad, Moab Shimrith capa Jehozabad.
27 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.
Anih koca rhoek neh a cungkuem dongah anih kah laipuei olrhuh khaw, Pathen im a phueng te khaw, manghai rhoek kah cil neh cabu khuiah a daek uh ne. Te phoeiah a capa Amaziah te anih yueng la manghai.
