< 2 Kings 12 >

1 When Jehu had been ruling Israel for almost seven years, Joash became the king of Judah. He ruled in Jerusalem for 40 years. His mother was Zibiah, from Beersheba [city].
Idi maikapito a tawen ni Jehu, nangrugi ti panagturay ni Joas; nagturay isuna iti las-ud ti uppat a pulo a tawen idiay Jerusalem. Ti nagan ti inana ket Zibia iti Beerseba.
2 All his life, he did what pleased Yahweh, because Jehoiada the priest instructed/taught him.
Inaramid ni Joas ti nalinteg iti mata ni Yahweh iti amin a tiempo, gapu ta bilbilinen isuna ni Jehoyada a padi.
3 But the places where the people worshiped [Yahweh] on the tops of hills were not destroyed, and they continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense at those places, [instead of at the place that God had chosen for them in Jerusalem].
Ngem saan a naikkat dagiti disso a pagdaydayawan. Nagidaton pay laeng ken nangpuor iti insenso dagiti tattao kadagitoy.
4 Joash said to the priests, “You must take all the money which the people contribute, both the money they are required to give and the money that they themselves decide to give, as sacred offerings to buy things for the temple.
Kinuna ni Joas kadagiti papadi, “Amin dagiti kuarta a maipaay kadagiti banbanag a kukua ni Yahweh, ket maipan iti uneg ti balay ni Yahweh, dagiti naikeddeng a kuarta a pagbuis ti tunggal tao, ken dagiti amin a kuarta nga inted dagiti tattao a maipaay iti templo babaen iti panangtignay ni Yahweh kadagiti pusoda nga itedda—
5 Each priest must take the money from people who know him (OR, from one of the treasurers), and he must use that money to repair the temple whenever he sees that there is something that needs to be repaired.”
rumbeng nga urnongen dagiti papadi dayta a kuarta, tunggal maysa kadakuada manipud kadagiti agbaybayad iti buis, ket masapul a taripatoenda ti templo babaen iti daytoy, no kasapulan ti aniaman a pannakatarimaan.”
6 But after Joash had been ruling for almost twenty-three years, the priests still had not repaired anything in the temple.
Ngem idi maikaduapulo ket tallo a tawen ni Ari Joas, awan pay pulos ti natarimaan dagiti papadi iti templo.
7 So Joash summoned Jehoiada and the other priests and said to them, “(Why are you not repairing things in the temple?/You should have been repairing things in the temple!) [RHQ] From now on, you must not keep the money that you receive from people who know you (OR, the treasurers). You must give it to the people who will be repairing things in the temple!”
Pinaayaban ni Ari Joas ti padi a ni Jehoyada ken dagiti dadduma a papadi, ket kinunana kadakuada, “Apay nga awan pay a pulos ti natarimaanyo iti templo? Ita, saankayon a mangala iti kuarta kadagiti agbaybayad iti buis, ngem alaenyo dagiti naurnong maipaay iti pannakatarimaan ti templo ket itedyo kadagiti mangtarimaan.”
8 The priests agreed to do that, and they also agreed that they themselves would not do the repair work.
Isu a saanen a napalubosan dagiti papadi nga umawat kadagiti kuarta manipud kadagiti tattao ken saanen nga isuda mismo ti mangtarimaan iti templo.
9 Then Jehoiada took a chest and bored a hole in the lid. He placed it alongside the altar [for burning incense/sacrifices] that was on the right as anyone enters the temple. The priests who guarded the entrance to the temple put in the box the money that was brought to the temple.
Ngem ketdi, nangala ti padi a ni Jehoyada iti maysa a lakasa, inabutanna ti kalubna, ket inkabilna daytoy iti abay ti altar, iti makannawan a paset no sumrek ti maysa a tao iti balay ni Yahweh. Inkabil ditoy dagiti papadi nga agbanbantay iti ruangan ti templo dagiti amin a kuarta a naipan iti templo ni Yahweh.
10 Whenever they saw that there was a lot of money in the chest, the king’s secretary and the Supreme Priest would come and count the money. Then they would put it in bags and tie the bags shut.
Tunggal makitada nga adun ti kuarta iti lakasa, mapan alaen dagitoy dagiti eskriba ti ari ken ti kangatoan a padi ket ikabilda ti kuarta kadagiti pagkargaan sada bilangen, ti kuarta a naalada iti templo ni Yahweh.
11 Then, after they weighed it, they would give the money to the men who supervised the work in the temple. Then the supervisors would use that money to pay the carpenters and builders who did the repair work in the temple,
Inyawatda ti kuarta a nabilang kadagiti lallaki a nangaywan iti templo ni Yahweh. Imbayadda daytoy kadagiti karpentero ken dagiti agipatpatakder a nagtrabaho a maipaay iti templo ni Yahweh,
12 and the masons and the stone cutters. Also with some of that money they bought timber and stones that had been cut to be used in the repair work, and to pay all the other expenses for the repair work.
ken dagiti agkabkabiti ken dagiti paratikap ti bato, tapno paggatangda kadagiti troso ken kadagiti natikap a batbato a pangtarimaan iti templo ni Yahweh, ken dagiti amin a kasapulan a bayadan a maipaay iti pannakatarimaan daytoy.
13 But they did not use any of that money [to pay men] to make silver cups or wick trimmers or bowls or trumpets or any other items made of silver or gold to be used in the temple.
Ngem dagiti kuarta a naipan iti balay ni Yahweh ket saan a naibayad a maipaay iti pannakaaramid dagiti aniaman a kopa a pirak, dagiti pangarsang iti lampara, dagiti palanggana, dagiti trumpeta, wenno aniaman nga alikamen a balitok wenno pirak.
14 All that money was given to the men who were doing the work of repairing the temple.
Intedda dagitoy a kuarta kadagiti nagtrabaho iti pannakatarimaan ti balay ni Yahweh.
15 The men who supervised the work always did things honestly, so the king’s secretary and the Supreme Priest never required that the supervisors report what they had spent the money for.
Mainayon pay a kasapulan ti listaan ti kuarta a naibayad iti pannakatarimaan babaen kadagiti lallaki a nangawat kadagitoy ken nangitangdan daytoy kadagiti trabahador, gapu ta napudno dagitoy a lallaki.
16 But the money that people gave to pay for the wrong things that they had done and the money they gave to purify themselves because of the sins that they had committed was not put in the chest. That money belonged to the priests.
Ngem saan a naipan iti templo ni Yahweh dagiti daton a kuarta a gapu iti panangsalungasing ken ti daton a kuarta a gapu iti panagbasol, gapu ta kukua dagitoy dagiti papadi.
17 At that time, Hazael, the king of Syria, went [with his army] and attacked Gath [city] and conquered it. Then he decided that they would attack Jerusalem.
Ket rinaut ni Hazael nga ari ti Aram ti Gat, ket sinakupna daytoy. Ket ingkeddeng ni Hazael a rautenna ti Jerusalem.
18 So Joash, the king of Judah, took all the money that the previous kings, Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, had dedicated to Yahweh. He added some of his own money, and all the gold that was in the rooms in the temple where valuable things were kept/stored, and the gold in his palace, and sent it all to King Hazael, [to (appease him/persuade him to not attack Jerusalem)]. So King Hazael [took his army] away from Jerusalem.
Innala ni Joas nga ari ti Juda dagiti amin a banbanag a kukua ni Yahweh nga indaton da Jehosafat, Jehoram, Ahazias, dagiti ammana, ken dagiti ari ti Juda kenni Yahweh, dagiti nasagradoan a banbanag a kukuana, ken dagiti amin a balitok a makita kadagiti uneg ti siled a pagiduldulinan iti balay ni Yahweh ken ti ari; ket intedna dagitoy kenni Hazael nga ari ti Aram. Kalpasanna, pimmanaw ni Hazael manipud idiay Jerusalem.
19 [If you want to read more of] what Joash did, [it] is all written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Dagiti met dadduma a banbanag a maipapan kenni Joas, dagiti amin nga inaramidna, saanda kadi a naisurat iti Libro dagiti Paspasamak kadagiti Ari ti Juda?
20 Joash’s officials plotted against him, and two of them killed Joash on the road that goes down to [the] Silla [district]. The two men who did that were Jozabad, the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer. Joash was buried in the place where his ancestors were buried, [in the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then Joash’s son Amaziah became the king of Judah.
Nagtutulag dagiti adipenna ket nagpanggepda iti dakes; dinarupda ni Joas idiay Millo, iti dalan nga agpababa iti Silla.
Dinarup isuna da Josacar nga anak ni Simeat, Jozabad nga anak ni Somer ken dagiti adipenna, ket natay isuna. Intabonda ni Joas iti ayan dagiti kapuonanna iti siudad ni David. Ket ni Amazias nga anakna ti simmukat kenkuana nga ari.
