2 Chronicles 24
1 Joash was seven years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled in Jerusalem for 40 years. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba [city].
Si Joas ay may pitong taon nang magpasimulang maghari; at siya'y nagharing apat na pung taon sa Jerusalem: at ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina ay Sibia na taga Beer-seba.
2 Joash did what pleased Yahweh as long as Jehoiada was [the Supreme] Priest.
At gumawa si Joas ng matuwid sa harap ng mga mata ng Panginoon lahat ng mga kaarawan ni Joiada na saserdote.
3 Jehoiada chose two women to be Joash’s wives. And they bore Joash sons and daughters.
At kumuha si Joiada ng dalawang babae upang maging asawa ng hari, at siya'y nagkaanak ng mga lalake at mga babae.
4 Some years later, Joash decided that the temple should be repaired.
At nangyari, pagkatapos nito, na inisip ni Joas na husayin ang bahay ng Panginoon.
5 He summoned the priests and other descendants of Levi and said to them, “Go to the towns in Judah and collect from the people the tax money that they are required to pay each year, and use that money to pay for repairing the temple. Do it immediately.” But the descendants of Levi did not do it immediately.
At kaniyang pinisan ang mga saserdote at ang mga Levita, at sinabi sa kanila, Magsilabas kayo hanggang sa mga bayan ng Juda, at magtipon kayo sa buong Israel ng salapi upang husayin ang bahay ng inyong Dios sa taontaon, at sikapin ninyo na inyong madaliin ang bagay. Gayon ma'y hindi minadali ng mga Levita.
6 So the king summoned Jehoiada and said to him, “Why have you not required the descendants of Levi to bring to Jerusalem from various places in Judah the annual/yearly tax that Moses said that the people of Judah must pay, for taking care of the Sacred Tent?”
At ipinatawag ng hari si Joiada na pinuno, at sinabi sa kaniya, Bakit hindi mo ipinadala sa mga Levita ang buwis na iniutos ni Moises, na lingkod ng Panginoon, at ng kapisanan ng Israel, mula sa Juda, at mula sa Jerusalem, na ukol sa tabernakulo ng patotoo?
7 [The temple needed to be repaired] because the sons of that wicked woman Athaliah had entered into the temple [and had wrecked some of the things], and had also used some of the sacred items that were in it for [the worship of] Baal.
Sapagka't giniba ng mga anak ni Athalia, niyaong masamang babae, ang bahay ng Dios, at kanila namang ginugol sa mga Baal ang lahat na itinalagang bagay sa bahay ng Panginoon.
8 So, obeying what the king commanded, the descendants of Levi made a chest and placed it outside the temple, at one of the entrances.
Sa gayo'y nagutos ang hari, at sila'y nagsigawa ng isang kaban, at inilagay sa labas sa pintuang daan ng bahay ng Panginoon.
9 Then the king sent letters everywhere in Judah, requesting everyone to bring their tax money to the temple, like Moses had required the Israeli people to do [when they were] in the desert.
At sila'y nangagtanyag sa Juda at sa Jerusalem, na dalhin sa Panginoon ang buwis na iniatang ni Moises na lingkod ng Dios sa Israel sa ilang.
10 All the officials and the other people [agreed, and they] brought their contributions gladly. They put the money into the chest until it was full.
At ang lahat na prinsipe at ang buong bayan ay nagalak, at dinala, at inilagay sa kaban, hanggang sa natapos.
11 Whenever the descendants of Levi brought the chest to the king’s officials, and they saw that there was a lot of money in it, the king’s secretary and the assistant to the [Supreme] Priest would take all the money from the chest, and then put the chest back in its place. They did this frequently, and they collected a huge amount of money.
At nagkagayon, nang dalhin ang kaban sa kawanihan ng hari, sa pamamagitan ng kamay ng mga Levita, at nang kanilang makita na maraming salapi, na ang kalihim ng hari at ang pinuno ng pangulong saserdote ay naparoon at inalisan ng laman ang kaban, at kinuha, at dinala uli sa dakong kinaroroonan. Ganito ang kanilang ginawa araw-araw, at nagtipon ng salapi na sagana.
12 The king and Jehoiada gave the money to the men who were supervising the work of repairing the temple. Those men hired stoneworkers and carpenters to repair the temple. They also hired men who worked with iron and bronze to repair things in the temple [that were broken].
At ibinigay ng hari at ni Joiada sa gumagawa ng gawaing paglilingkod sa bahay ng Panginoon; at sila'y nagsiupa ng mga kantero at ng mga anluwagi upang husayin ang bahay ng Panginoon, at ng nagsisigawa naman sa bakal at tanso upang husayin ang bahay ng Panginoon.
13 The men who did the repair work worked hard, and the work of repairing the temple progressed. They rebuilt the temple so that it was like it was originally, and they even made it stronger.
Sa gayo'y nagsigawa ang mga manggagawa, at ang gawa ay nayari sa pamamagitan nila, at kanilang itinayo ang bahay ng Dios sa kaniyang kalagayan, at pinatibay.
14 When they had finished the repair work, they brought to the king and to Jehoiada the money that they had not used for the repairs. That money was used to make things to use for offering the sacrifices that were completely burned [on the altar], and to make bowls and other gold and silver things for the temple. As long as Joash lived, the people continually brought to the temple sacrifices that were to be completely burned on the altar.
At nang kanilang matapos, kanilang dinala ang labis ng salapi sa harap ng hari at ni Joiada, na siyang mga ipinagpagawa ng mga sisidlan sa bahay ng Panginoon, sa makatuwid baga'y mga sisidlan upang ipangasiwa, at upang ipaghandog ng hain, at mga sandok, at mga sisidlang ginto, at pilak. At sila'y nangaghandog na palagi ng mga handog na susunugin sa bahay ng Panginoon sa lahat ng mga kaarawan ni Joiada.
15 Jehoiada lived to become very old. He died when he was 130 years old.
Nguni't si Joiada ay tumanda at napuspos ng mga araw, at siya'y namatay; siya'y may isang daan at tatlongpung taon nang siya'y mamatay.
16 He was buried where the kings had been buried, in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. [He was buried there] because of the good things that he had done in Judah for God and for God’s temple.
At inilibing nila siya sa bayan ni David sa kasamahan ng mga hari, sapagka't siya'y gumawa ng mabuti sa Israel, at sa Dios at sa kaniyang sangbahayan.
17 After Jehoiada died, the leaders of Judah went to Joash, bowed in front of him, and persuaded him to do what they wanted.
Pagkamatay nga ni Joiada ay nagsiparoon ang mga prinsipe ng Juda, at nangagbigay galang sa hari. Nang magkagayo'y dininig sila ng hari.
18 So they and the other people stopped worshiping at the temple, and they started worshiping the poles dedicated to [the goddess] Asherah and other idols. Because of their doing those sinful things, God was very angry with the people of Jerusalem and [with the people in other places in] Judah.
At kanilang pinabayaan ang bahay ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng kanilang mga magulang, at nangaglingkod sa mga Asera at sa mga dios-diosan: at ang pag-iinit ay dumating sa Juda at sa Jerusalem dahil sa kanilang salang ito.
19 Although Yahweh sent prophets to persuade them to return to him, and although the prophets told them about the evil things that they had done, the people would not pay attention.
Gayon ma'y nagsugo siya ng mga propeta sa kanila upang dalhin sila uli sa Panginoon; at sila'y sumaksi laban sa kanila; nguni't hindi sila pinakinggan.
20 Then God’s Spirit came upon Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the [Supreme] Priest. He stood up front of the people and said, “This is what God says: ‘Why are you disobeying what I, Yahweh, have commanded? You have abandoned me, so I will abandon you.’”
At ang Espiritu ng Dios ay dumating kay Zacharias na anak ni Joiada na saserdote; at siya'y tumayong mataas kay sa bayan, at nagsabi sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Dios, Bakit kayo'y nagsisisalangsang sa mga utos ng Panginoon, na anopa't kayo'y huwag magsiginhawa? sapagka't inyong pinabayaan ang Panginoon, kaniya namang pinabayaan kayo.
21 But the people planned to kill Zechariah. And the king joined them in doing it. The people killed Zechariah by throwing stones at him in the temple courtyard.
At sila'y nagsipagbanta laban sa kaniya, at binato siya ng mga bato, sa utos ng hari sa looban ng bahay ng Panginoon.
22 King Joash had forgotten about how Zechariah’s father Jehoiada had been kind to him. That’s why he gave orders for the people to kill Jehoiada’s son Zechariah, who said as he was dying, “I hope that Yahweh will see [what you are doing to me] and punish [you for doing it].”
Sa ganito ay hindi inalaala ni Joas na hari ang kagandahang loob na ginawa ni Joiada na kaniyang ama sa kaniya, kundi pinatay ang kaniyang anak. At nang siya'y mamatay, kaniyang sinabi, Masdan ng Panginoon, at pakialaman.
23 Near the end of that year (OR, early in the following year), the army of Syria marched to attack [the army of] Joash. They invaded Judah and attacked Jerusalem and killed all the leaders of the people. They [seized many valuable things and] sent them to their king in Damascus, [their capital city.]
At nangyari, sa katapusan ng taon, na ang hukbo ng mga taga Siria ay umahon laban sa kaniya: at sila'y nagsiparoon sa Juda at sa Jerusalem, at nilipol ang lahat na prinsipe ng bayan mula sa gitna ng bayan, at ipinadala ang buong samsam sa kanila sa hari sa Damasco.
24 The army of Syria [that came to Judah] was very small, but Yahweh allowed them to defeat the large army of Judah, because he was punishing Joash and the other people of Judah for having abandoned him, the God whom their ancestors worshiped.
Sapagka't ang hukbo ng mga taga Siria ay naparoong may munting pangkat ng mga lalake; at ibinigay ng Panginoon ang isang totoong malaking hukbo sa kanilang kamay sapagka't kanilang pinabayaan ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng kanilang mga magulang. Sa gayo'y nilapatan nila ng kahatulan si Joas.
25 Before the battle ended, Joash was severely wounded. Then his officials decided to kill him for murdering Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the [Supreme] Priest. They killed him while he was in his bed. He was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, but they did not bury him in the place where the other kings had been buried.
At nang kanilang lisanin siya, (sapagka't iniwan nila siya sa maraming mga sakit, ) ang kaniyang sariling mga lingkod ay nagsipagbanta laban sa kaniya dahil sa dugo ng mga anak ni Joiada na saserdote, at pinatay siya sa kaniyang higaan, at siya'y namatay: at inilibing nila siya sa bayan ni David, nguni't hindi inilibing nila siya sa mga libingan ng mga hari.
26 Those who conspired to kill him were Zabad the son of Shimeath, who was a woman from the Ammon [people-group], and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith, who was a woman from the Moab [people-group].
At ang mga ito ang nagsipagbanta laban sa kaniya; si Zabad na anak ni Simath, na Ammonita, at si Jozabad na anak ni Simrith, na Moabita.
27 An account of the things that were done by the sons of Joash and the many prophecies about Joash and what he did to repair the temple are written in the scroll called ‘the History of the Kings [of Judah and Israel]’. Then after Joash died, Amaziah his son became the king.
Tungkol nga sa kaniyang mga anak, at sa kalakhan ng mga pasang ipinasan sa kaniya, at sa pagtatayong muli ng bahay ng Dios, narito, nakasulat sa kasaysayan ng aklat ng mga hari. At si Amasias na kaniyang anak ay naghari na kahalili niya.
