¹[Ny nanjakan'i Joasy tamin'ny Joda, sy ny nanamboarana ny rafitry ny tempoly] Fito taona Joasy fony izy vao nanjaka:

¹In the seventh year of Jehu began Jehoash to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba.

²Ary tamin'ny taona fahafito nanjakan'i Jeho no vao nanjaka izy; ary efa-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Zibia, avy any Beri-sheba.

²Jehoash did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.

³Ary Joasy nanao izay mahitsy eo imason'i Jehovah tamin'ny androny rehetra izay nanoloran'i Joiada mpisorona saina azy.

³However the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

⁴Nefa kosa ny fitoerana avo tsy mba noravana; ary ny olona mbola namono zavatra hatao fanatitra sady nandoro ditin-kazo manitra teo amin'ny fitoerana avo ihany.

⁴Jehoash said to the priests, “All the money of the holy things that is brought into the house of Yahweh, in current money, the money of the persons for whom each man is rated, and all the money that it comes into any man’s heart to bring into the house of Yahweh,

⁵Ary hoy Joasy tamin'ny mpisorona: Ny vola amin'ny zava-masina rehetra izay nampidirina tao an-tranon'i Jehovah, dia ny volan'ny olona voaisa sy ny vola rehetra izay azo tamin'ny tomban'olona ary ny vola rehetra Izay nentin'ny isan-olona an-tsitrapo ho ao an-tranon'i Jehovah,

⁵let the priests take it to them, every man from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the breaches of the house, wherever any breach shall be found.”

⁶aoka horaisin'ny mpisorona amin'ny olom-pantany avy izany ka hanamboarany ny simba amin'ny trano, na amin'inona na amin'inona no hitany misy simba.

⁶But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.

⁷Kanjo hatramin'ny fahatelo amby roa-polo taona nanjakan'i Joasy mpanjaka dia tsy mbola voavoatry ny mpisorona ihany ny simba tamin'ny trano.

⁷Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said to them, “Why don’t you repair the breaches of the house? Now therefore take no more money from your treasurers, but deliver it for the breaches of the house.”

⁸Ka dia niantso an'i Joiada mpisorona sy ny mpisorona sasany koa Joasy mpanjaka ka nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana ianareo no tsy nanamboatra ny simba amin'ny trano? Koa ankehitriny, aza mandray vola amin'ny olom-pantatrareo intsony ianareo, fa omeo hanamboarana ny simba amin'ny trano ny vola.

⁸The priests consented that they should take no more money from the people, neither repair the breaches of the house.

⁹Ary ny mpisorona nanaiky tsy handray vola amin'ny olona intsony sady tsy hanamboatra ny simba amin'ny trano.

⁹But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of Yahweh: and the priests who kept the threshold put therein all the money that was brought into the house of Yahweh.

¹⁰Fa Joiada mpisorona naka vata anankiray, dia noloahany ny rakony, ary napetrany teo anilan'ny alitara tamin'ny sisiny ankavanana eo am-pidirana amin'ny tranon'i Jehovah; dia nalatsaky ny mpisorona, mpiandry varavarana, tao ny vola rehetra izay nampidirina ho ao an-tranon'i Jehovah.

¹⁰It was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags and counted the money that was found in the house of Yahweh.

¹¹Ary rehefa hitany fa be ny vola tao am-bata, dia niakatra ny mpanoratry ny mpanjaka sy ny mpisoronabe, ka nofonosiny ny vola izay hita tao an-tranon'i Jehovah sady nisainy.

¹¹They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the house of Yahweh: and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders, who worked on the house of Yahweh,

¹²Ary ny vola voalanja dia natolotr'ireo ho eo an-tanan'ny mpiraharaha, dia izay voatendry ny amin'ny tranon'i Jehovah; ary ireo kosa namoaka azy ho amin'ny mpandrafitra sy ny mpanao trano izay nanamboatra ny tranon'i Jehovah

¹²and to the masons and the stone cutters, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the breaches of the house of Yahweh, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.

¹³sy ho amin'ny mpandatsa-bato sy ny mpipaika, ary hamidy hazo sy vato voapaika hanamboarana ny simba amin'ny tranon'i Jehovah sy holanina amin'izay rehetra hanamboarana azy.

¹³But there were not made for the house of Yahweh cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of Yahweh;

¹⁴Nefa tsy nisy lovia volafotsy, na antsy, na lovia famafazana, na trompetra, na izay fanaka volamena sy volafotsy na inona na inona, natao ho amin'ny tranon'i Jehovah tamin'ny volafotsy nampidirina tao;

¹⁴for they gave that to those who did the work, and repaired therewith the house of Yahweh.

¹⁵fa nomeny ny mpiasa izany ka nentin'ireo nanamboatra ny tranon'i Jehovah.

¹⁵Moreover they didn’t demand an accounting from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work; for they dealt faithfully.

¹⁶Ary tsy nampamoahiny ny olona izay notolorany ny vola homena ny mpiasa, fa nahatoky ireo.

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

¹⁷Fa ny vola natao fanati-panonerana sy fanatitra noho ny ota dia tsy mba nampidirina tao an-tranon'i Jehovah, fa an'ny mpisorona kosa izany.

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

¹⁸Ary tamin'izany dia niakatra Hazaela, mpanjakan'i Syria, ary namely an'i Gata ka nahafaka azy; ary nizotra niakatra hamely an'i Jerosalema koa izy.

¹⁸Jehoash king of Judah took all the holy things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own holy things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and of the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.

¹⁹Ary Joasy, mpanjakan'ny Joda, naka ny zavatra rehetra izay nohamasinin'ny mpanjakan'ny Joda razany, dia Josafata sy Jehorama sy Ahazia, mbamin'ny zavatra nohamasinin'ny tenany koa sy ny volamena rehetra hita tamin'ny rakitra, na ny tao an-tranon'i Jehovah, na ny tao an-tranon'ny mpanjaka, ary nampitondrainy ho any amin'i Hazaela, mpanjakan'i Syria, izany; ka dia niverina tsy nankany Jerosalema Hazaela.

¹⁹Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²⁰Ary ny tantaran'i Joasy sisa mbamin'izay rehetra nataony, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin'ny bokin'ny tantaran'ny mpanjakan'ny Joda va izany?

²⁰His servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and struck Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla.

²¹Ary nitsangana ny mpanompon'i Joasy ka niodina taminy, dia namono azy tao an-trano Milo, ao am-pidinana mankany Sila.[Heb. fiarovana]Fa Jozakara, zanak'i Simata, sy Jozabada, zanak'i Somera mpanompony namely azy ho faty; dia nalevina tao amin'ny razany tao an-tanànan'i Davida izy; ary Amazia zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.

²¹For Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his place.

²²Fa Jozakara, zanak'i Simata, sy Jozabada, zanak'i Somera mpanompony namely azy ho faty; dia nalevina tao amin'ny razany tao an-tanànan'i Davida izy; ary Amazia zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
