II Chronicles 24

E whitu nga tau o Ioaha i a ia i kingi ai; a e wha tekau nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea, ko Tipia, no Peerehepa.

Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Zibiah of Beer–sheba.

Na he tika nga mahi a Ioaha ki te titiro a Ihowa i nga ra katoa o te tohunga, o Iehoiara.

And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.

A i tangohia e Iehoiara he wahine mana, tokorua; a ka whanau ana tama, ana tamahine.

And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters.

I muri i tenei ka whai ngakau a Ioaha ki te whakahou i te whare o Ihowa.

And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to repair the house of the LORD.

A ka oti nga tohunga me nga Riwaiti te huihui e ia, ka mea ia ki a ratou, Haere ki nga pa o Hura, ki te kohikohi moni mai i a Iharaira katoa hei whakahou i te whare o to koutou Atua, i tenei tau, i tenei tau; ma koutou hoki e whakahohoro taua mah i. Heoi kihai i hohoro i nga Riwaiti.

And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it not.

Na ka karanga te kingi ki a Iehoiara, ko te upoko hoki ia, a ka mea ki a ia, He aha koe te mea ai ki nga Riwaiti kia mauria mai i a Hura, i Hiruharama, te mea i kohikohia, ta Mohi pononga a Ihowa me ta te whakaminenga o Iharaira mo te tapenakara o te whakaaturanga?

And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?

Na nga tama hoki a taua wahine kino a Ataria i wahi te whare o te Atua; a ko nga mea tapu katoa o te whare o Ihowa, meinga ana e ratou mo nga Paara.

For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD did they bestow upon Baalim.

Heoi ka korero te kingi, a ka hanga he pouaka e ratou, whakaturia ana ki waho, ki te kuwaha o te whare o Ihowa.

And at the king's commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD.

Na, ka pa te karanga puta noa i a Hura, i Hiruharama, kia kawea mai ki a Ihowa te kohikohi i whakaritea e Mohi, e ta te Atua pononga, ki a Iharaira i te koraha.

And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the LORD the collection that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel in the wilderness.

Na koa tonu nga rangatira katoa me te iwi katoa, a kawea ana mai e ratou, maka ana ki roto ki te pouaka a rite noa.

And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.

A, i nga wa e kawea mai ai e nga Riwaiti te pouaka ki te whare takoha o te kingi, a ka kitea kua rahi te moni, ka haere mai te kaituhituhi a te kingi raua ko te tangata a te tino tohunga, ka ringihia e raua nga mea i roto i te pouaka, na ka tang o raua, ka whakahoki ano ki tona wahi. Pena tonu ratou i ia ra, i ia ra, a nui atu te moni i kohikohia.

Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.

A hoatu ana e te kingi raua ko Iehoiara ki nga tangata i te mahi o nga mea mo te whare o Ihowa; a na ratou i utu nga kaimahi kohatu, nga kamura, hei whakahou i te whare o Ihowa, nga kaimahi hoki i te rino, i te parahi, hei whakaora mo te whare o Ihowa.

And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the LORD, and also such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the LORD.

Heoi ka mahi nga kaimahi, a ka oti te mahi i a ratou; na kua meinga e ratou kia rite ki to mua ahua te tu o te whare o te Atua, kia kaha hoki.

So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it.

A, ka oti i a ratou, ka kawea te toenga o te moni ki te aroaro o te kingi raua ko Iehoiara, a ka waiho hei hanga i etahi oko mo te whare o Ihowa, i nga oko minita, i nga mea mo nga patunga tapu, i nga koko, i nga oko koura, hiriwa; a he whakaeke tonu ta ratou i te tahunga tinana i te whare o Ihowa i nga ra katoa o Iehoiara.

And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of the LORD, even vessels to minister, and to offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.

Otiia kua koroheketia a Iehoiara, kua maha ona ra, a ka mate: kotahi rau e toru tekau ona tau i tona matenga.

But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.

A tanumia ana ia ki te pa o Rawiri ki te taha o nga kingi; he pai hoki no tana mahi ki a Iharaira, ki te Atua hoki, a ki tona whare.

And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and toward his house.

Na i muri i te matenga o Iehoiara ka haere mai nga rangatira o Hura, a ka piko ki te kingi. Na rongo tonu te kingi ki a ratou.

Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them.

Na whakarerea ake e ratou te whare o Ihowa, o te Atua o o ratou matua, mahi ana ratou ki nga Aherimi, ki nga whakapakoko. Na kua pa he riri ki a Hura, ki Hiruharama, mo tenei he o ratou.

And they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.

Heoi unga ana e ia nga poropiti ki a ratou hei whakahoki i a ratou ki a Ihowa, a whakawa ana ratou i a ratou: otiia kihai i rongo.

Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.

Na kua tau te wairua o te Atua ki te tohunga, ki a Hakaraia tama a Iehoiara; a ka tu ia ki runga ake i te iwi, ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Atua, he aha koutou ka takahi ai i nga whakahau a Ihowa? ma konei hoki ka kore ai koutou e ka ke. Kua whakarerea nei e koutou a Ihowa na kua whakarerea hoki koutou e ia.

And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you.

Na ka whakatupuria e ratou he he mona, a akina ia ki te kohatu, na te kingi i whakahau, ki te marae o te whare o Ihowa.

And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the LORD.

Heoi kihai a Kingi Ioaha i mahara ki te aroha i whakaputaina e tona papa, e Iehoiara, ki a ia: heoi patua ana e ia tana tama. A i tona matenga, ka mea ia, Ma Ihowa e titiro, e rapu utu.

Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The LORD look upon it, and require it.

Na taka rawa ake te tau, ka whakaekea ia e te taua o Hiria; a haere ana mai ratou ki a Hura, ki Hiruharama, whakangaromia ana e ratou nga rangatira katoa o te iwi i roto i te iwi, tukua ana e ratou o ratou taonga katoa kia kawea ki te kingi o Ra mahiku.

And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the host of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus.

He tokoiti hoki nga tangata o te taua o nga Hiriani i haere mai nei; a hoatu ana e Ihowa te ope nui rawa ki o ratou ringa, mo ratou i whakarere i a Ihowa, i te Atua o o ratou matua. Heoi tutuki ana i a ratou he whakawa mo Ioaha.

For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men, and the LORD delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash.

A, no to ratou haerenga atu i a ia, i mahue iho hoki ia i a ratou he nui ona mate, ka whakatupuria e ana tangata he he mona, mo nga toto o nga tama a Iehoiara tohunga, a patua ana ia e ratou, ki runga ki tona moenga, a mate iho: na tanumia ana i a e ratou ki te pa o Rawiri, otiia kahore ki nga tanumanga o nga kingi.

And when they were departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases,) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings.

Na ko nga tangata nana i whakatupu te he mona; ko Tapara, tama a tetahi wahine o Amona, a Himeata, ko Iehotapara, tama a tetahi wahine o Moapa, a Timiriti.

And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess.

Na, ko ana tama, me te nui o nga taimaha i utaina ki runga ki a ia, me te hanganga i te whare o te Atua, nana, kei te tuhituhi ena i roto i nga korero o te pukapuka o nga kingi; a ko tana tama, ko Amatia, te kingi i muri i a ia.

Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens laid upon him, and the repairing of the house of God, behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
