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.

¹ Yehu mayra jiiri iyyanta ra no Yehowasa te bonkooni. A may mo jiiri waytaaci Urusalima ra. A nyaŋo maa Zibiyan Beyer-Seba boro no.

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

² A fundo jirbey kulu kaŋ ra Alfa Yehoyda n'a dondonandi, Yehowasa na haŋ kaŋ ga saba te Rabbi diyaŋ gaa.

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

³ Amma tudey boŋ sududuyaŋ nangey go no, i man'i ganandi. Hala ka kaa sohõ borey ga sargay salleyaŋ te ka duguyaŋ ton tudey boŋ sududuyaŋ nangey ra.

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,

⁴ Yehowasa mo ne alfagey se: «Nooru kulu kaŋ hanante no, wo kaŋ i kande Rabbi windo ra, haŋ kaŋ i dake boro kulu boŋ a ma bana, da nooro kaŋ boro kulu ga kande bine baakasinay sabbay se Rabbi windo ra,

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

⁵ kala alfagey m'a ta, boro kulu nga cora gaa. I ma nangu kaŋ fuwo kortu hanse, sanda naŋ kaŋ i gar a kortu kulu.»

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

⁶ Amma a ciya, bonkoono Yehowasa jiiri waranka cindi hinzanta ra, alfagey mana fuwo kortimey hanse ka ban.

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.

⁷ Kala Bonkoono Yehowasa na Alfa Yehoyda da alfaga cindey ce ka ne i se: «Ifo se no araŋ mana fuwo kortimey hanse me? Sohõ mo, araŋ ma si filla ka nooru ta araŋ corey gaa amma araŋ m'a no fuwo hanseyaŋ se.»

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

⁸ Alfagey yadda kaŋ ngey si filla ka nooru ta jama gaa, i ne ngey si fuwo kortimey hanse mo.

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.

⁹ Amma Alfa Yehoyda na sundurku sambu ka fune te a me daabirjo gaa. A n'a jisi sargay feema jarga, kambe ŋwaari haray, naŋ kaŋ borey ga furo Rabbi windo ra. Alfagey mo kaŋ yaŋ ga meyo batu na noorey kulu kaŋ borey kande Rabbi windo ra daŋ a ra.

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.

¹⁰ A ciya mo, alwaato kaŋ i di sundurko gonda nooru boobo a ra, kala bonkoono hantumkwa da alfaga beero ga kaaru k'a margu-margu zalifontoyaŋ ra. I na nooru kaŋ i gar Rabbi windo ra lasaabu.

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,

¹¹ Nooro kaŋ i neesi mo, i n'a daŋ borey kaŋ ga goy te kambe ra, ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga Rabbi windo goyo haggoy. I na sacey da cinakoy bana kaŋ yaŋ ga Rabbi windo goyo te,

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.

¹² da cinakoy da tondi jabukoy, da zama i ma kataakuyaŋ day mo, da tondi jabante yaŋ, kaŋ i ga Rabbi windo kortimey hanse nd'a. Zama hay kulu kaŋ i gond'a muraadu, i m'a nooro bana,

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;

¹³ Amma nooro kaŋ jama kande Rabbi windo ra, i mana nzarfu gaas'izey te d'a, wala fitilla hanseyaŋ hari, wala taasayaŋ wala hilliyaŋ, wala wura jinayyaŋ, wala nzarfu wane Rabbi windo ra.

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

¹⁴ Zama i na woodin no borey kaŋ yaŋ ga goy se, i ma Rabbi windo hanse d'a.

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

¹⁵ Amma nooro kaŋ i no borey se zama ngey ma goy-teerey bana nd'a, boro kulu man'a lasaabo hã, zama i go ga ngey goyo te da naanay.

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

¹⁶ Taali se sargayey nooru nda zunubi se sargayey nooru, i mana kand'ey Rabbi windo ra mo, zama alfagey wane no.

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

¹⁷ Alwaati din Suriya bonkoono Hazayel kaaru ka wongu nda Gat kwaara, a n'a ŋwa mo. Koyne, Hazayel na mo ye ka ne nga ga koy Urusalima.

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.

¹⁸ Kala Yahuda bonkoono Yehowasa na jinay hanantey kulu sambu, wo kaŋ yaŋ a kaayey Yehosafat da Yehoram da Ahaziya, Yahuda bonkooney jisi nangu waani, hala nda nga din wane jinay hanantey da wura kulu kaŋ i gar Rabbi windo jisiyaŋ nango ra, da bonkoono waney ra. A n'i samba Suriya bonkoono Hazayel se, nga mo tun ka fay da Urusalima.

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?

¹⁹ Yowasa goy cindey da haŋ kaŋ a te kulu mo, manti i n'i hantum Yahuda bonkooney baaru tira ra bo?

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

²⁰ Kal a tamey murte a gaa. I na munaficitaray te ka Yowasa kar Millo kwaara, fonda kaŋ ga koy Silla boŋ.

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.

²¹ Zama Yezakur Simeyat izo nda Yehozabad Somer izo n'a kar kal a bu. I n'a fiji nga kaayey banda Dawda birno ra. A izo Amaziya te bonkooni a nango ra.
