¹In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash began to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.

¹Jehu kum sagih a lal kumin Joas bel a lal pana; Jerusalem khua ah kum sawmli a lala; a nu min Zibia. Beer-seba khuaa mi ahi.

²And Jehoash did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, all the days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him.

²Huan, siampu Jehoiadain Joas a sinsak sungteng Toupa mitmuhin thil hoih a hih seka.

³Only, the high places were not removed: the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.

³Ahihhangin mun sangte teng hihsiat vek ahi tuankei; mun sangte ah mite a kithoih lailai un gimlim ahal nilouh lai uhi.

⁴And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the hallowed things that is brought into the house of Jehovah, the money of every one that passes [the account], the money at which every man is valued, [and] all the money that comes into any man's heart to bring into the house of Jehovah,

⁴Huan, Joasin siampute kiangah, Toupa ina lak lut thil zek tatna sum teng khawng simsate laka pai peuhmahte tuh a hin uh tatna sumte, kuapeuhin Toupa ina lak lut a phal uh sum tengtengte,

⁵let the priests take it, every man of his acquaintance; and let them repair the breaches of the house, wherever any breach is found.

⁵Siamputen a meltheihte uh akipanin na la chiat le uh; huchiin in sia a siatnana, bawl uhen, a chi a.

⁶And it was [so that] in the twenty-third year of king Jehoash, the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.

⁶Himahleh hichi ahi a, kumpipa Jehoas bel kum sawmnih leh kum thum a lal nungin leng siamputen in sia a bawl kei lailai ua.

⁷Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the priests, and said to them, Why have ye not repaired the breaches of the house? And now receive no money of your acquaintances, but give it for the breaches of the house.

⁷Huchiin kumpipa Joas in siampu Jehoiada leh siampu dangte a sama, a kiang uah, Bangdia in siat nana bawl lou na hi ua? Tun jaw na meltheihte uh kianga kipan dangka la nawn kei unla, in se bawlna dingin pekhe zota un, a chi a.

⁸And the priests consented to receive no money of the people, and that they should only repair the breaches of the house.

⁸Huan, siamputen mite kiang akipan dangka lak nawn louh leh, in siatnana puah louh pha asa ua.

⁹And Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of Jehovah; and the priests that kept the door put into it all the money brought into the house of Jehovah.

⁹Ahihhangin siampu Jehoiadain bawm ala a, a sin agei vanga, Toupa in a luta taklam pang, maitam chinah a tunga; huaiah Toupa in a dangka hontawi lut tengteng kongkhak vengmi siamputen a a nakoih jel uh.

¹⁰And it came to pass when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they tied up and counted the money that was found in the house of Jehovah.

¹⁰Huan, hichi ahi a, bawm ah dangka atam ngialta chih a theih un, kumpipa laigelh mi leh siampu lianpen a vahoh ua, a tun ua, Toupa ina dangka om chiang a sim uh.

¹¹And they gave the money, weighed out into the hands of them that did the work, who were appointed over the house of Jehovah; and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders that wrought upon the house of Jehovah,

¹¹Huan, a dangka sim uh nasemmite, Toupa inlammite tunga heutute khutah a pekhia ua; amau Toupa insualmite, khutsiamte leh inlammite loh dingin a pe khia ua,

¹²and to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the breaches of the house of Jehovah, and for all that had to be laid out on the house for repairs.

¹²Suang sekmite leh suang laikhemite kiangah, Toupa insiatnana bawlna ding sing leh suangte leh in bawlnaa a khawkna peuh ah a zang jel uhi.

¹³However there were not made for the house of Jehovah basons of silver, knives, bowls, trumpets, nor any utensil of gold or utensil of silver, of the money that was brought [into] the house of Jehovah;

¹³Ahihhangin Toupa insunga a dangka hontawi un Toupa in a ding dangka siknoute, khawnvak puan tehnate, mai phiatkuangte, pengkulte, dangkaeng tui umbel suante, dangkasiik tui umbel suante a bawl kei uh;

¹⁴but they gave that to the workmen, and repaired the house of Jehovah with it.

¹⁴Nasemmite ape jel ua, Toupa in bawlna in a zang jel uhi.

¹⁵And they did not reckon with the men into whose hand they gave the money to be bestowed on workmen; for they dealt faithfully.

¹⁵Huan, nasemmite piak dinga dangka a kepsakmite uh leng a etjui pih tuan khol kei uh; amau leh ginomtakin ahih jel sek uh.

¹⁶The money of trespass-offerings, and the money of sin-offerings, was not brought into the house of Jehovah: it was for the priests.

¹⁶Moh thoihna thillat dangka leh, khelhna thoihna thillat dangkate bel Toupa in ah ala lut kei ua; siampute tantuam ahi.

¹⁷Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it. And Hazael set his face to go up against Jerusalem.

¹⁷Huchiin Suria kumpipa Hazaelin Gath khua a va suala, a vala a; huan, Hazael bel Jerusalema hoh jel a tum hi.

¹⁸And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold found in the treasures of the house of Jehovah and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria; and he went away from Jerusalem.

¹⁸Huan, Juda kumpipa Joasin Juda kumpipa a pute Jehosaphatte, Jehoramte, Ahaziate nana latsa thil zek tengteng leh, amah thil zekte leh, Toupa ina leh kumpipa in a gou koih khawmnaa dangkaeng om tengteng a la veka, Suria kumpipa Hazael a khak a; huchiin Jerusalem a lehngatsanta.

¹⁹And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

¹⁹Huchiin Joas tanchin dangte, a thilhihte tengteng Juda kumpipate lal lai thu gelhna buah a tuang ka hia?

²⁰And his servants rose up and made a conspiracy, and smote Joash in the house of Millo, at the descent of Silla.

²⁰Huan, a mite a thou ua, sim a sawm ua, Joas bel Silla zot sukna lampi Millo in ah a sual ua; a hihlum uh.Amah mi, Simeath tapa Jozakar leh Somer tapa Jehozabad ten a that uhi; huchiin a pi leh pute lakah David khopi ah a vui ua; huan, a tapa Amazia a sikin a lal.

²¹And Jozachar the son of Shimeath and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.

²¹Amah mi, Simeath tapa Jozakar leh Somer tapa Jehozabad ten a that uhi; huchiin a pi leh pute lakah David khopi ah a vui ua; huan, a tapa Amazia a sikin a lal.
