¹Joas bel a lal pattungin kum sagiha upa ahi; Jerusalem ah kum sawmli a lala; a nu min Zibia, Beer-seba mi ahi.

¹Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Zibiah of Beersheba.

²Huan, Joasin siampu Jehoiada damsung in TOUPA mitmuhin thil hoih a hih.

²And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.

³Huan, Jehoiadain ji nih a nei a nei saka, tanu leh tapate a nei hi.

³And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters.

⁴Huan, hichi ahi a, huai nungin Joasin TOUPA in bawl phat lungsimin a nei a.

⁴And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to repair the house of the LORD.

⁵Siampute leh Levite a kaikhawma, Judate khua ahte hoh unla kum tenga na pathian in uh bawl phatna dingin Israel mi tengteng kiangah dangka vakhonkhawm dih ua, jekai kei un, chi a. Himahleh Levite a kintat tuan kei uh.

⁵And 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.

⁶Huan, kumpipan siampu lalpen Jehoiada a sama,. a kiangah, Bangdia Levite TOUPA sikha Mosi leh Israel mipite seh theihsakna puanin adia thoh bikhiah seh Juda mi leh Jerusalem mite thoh dinga phut lou na hia?

⁶And 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?

⁷Mi gilounu Athalia tapaten lah pathian in a hihse khinta ngal uai, huan, TOUPA ina thillat tengteng Baal te a pe khin behlap lai ngal ua, achi a

⁷For 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.

⁸Huchiin, kumpipan thu a piaa, bawm a bawl ua, TOUPAin kongpi polamah a koih ua.

⁸And at the king's commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD.

⁹Huan, gamdaia pathian sikha Mosiin Israel mite hih dinga thoh bikhiah a seh TOUPA dinga honthoh dingin Juda gam tengteng leh Jerusalem ah thu a thangsakta hi.

⁹And 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.

¹⁰Huchiin miliante leh mipite a kipak ua, a dangka te uh a honla ua, a khon khit masiah uh bawmah a hongkoih ekek maimah uhi.

¹⁰And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.

¹¹Huan, Leviten kumpipa upate kianga bawm a hontawi ua, dangka tampi a om chih a theih un kumpipa laigelhmi leh siampu kumpipa seh upain bawm akipan a bung khiaa, a la ua, a mun ah a koih nawn uh. huchibangin ni tengin a hih ua, dangka tampi a kholkhawm ta uhi.

¹¹Now 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.

¹²Huan, kumpipa leh jehoiadain TOUPA in nasem mite khutah a pia ua, TOUPA in bawl pha dingin suang sekmite leh khutsiamte a guai ua, huan, TOUPA in bawl pha dingin sik leh dala khutsiamte leng.

¹²And 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.

¹³Huchiin, nasemmite asual ua, a sem hoih mahmah mai ua, Pathian in a ngei bang geihin a bawl pha ua, a dingkip nawn ta hi.

¹³So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it.

¹⁴Huan, a zoh un dangka omlai teng kumpipa leh Jehoiada kiangah a hontawi ua, huaiin TOUPA ina nasep nadinga tuium-belsuan te latna tuiumbelsuan te, sikkeu te leh dangkasik tuiumbelsuante nangawn a bawl uh. Huchiin Jehoiada dam sungin TOUPA in ah halmang thillat alan thek uh.

¹⁴And 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.

¹⁵Himahleh Jehoiada bel upa pi tekkuna damin a sita. A sihin kum ja leh sawmthum upa ahi.

¹⁵But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.

¹⁶Huan Israelte lakah pathian tungah leh a in tungtanga thil a hih hoih jiakin David khopi ah kumpipate lakah a vui uhi.

¹⁶And 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.

¹⁷Huan, Jehoiada sih nungin Juda miliante ahong kuan ua, kumpipa kiangah toulutna a bawl uh. Kumpipan a thu uh a napom.

¹⁷Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them.

¹⁸Huchiin a pi leh pute uh Pathian TOUPA in a lehngatsan ua, Aserte leh milimte na a semta uh: huan, a khelhna uh jiakin Judate leh Jerusalem tungah hehna a hongtung ta hi.

¹⁸And 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.

¹⁹Himahleh TOUPA kianga pi kik dingin a kiang uah jawlneite a sawla, a mohdan te uh a theisak ua, himahleh a bil uh a doh nuam tuan kei uh.

¹⁹Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.

²⁰Huan, siampu Jehoiada tapa Zekaria tungah Pathian kha a hongtunga, amah mipi tung lamah a dinga, a kiang uah, Pathian in hichiin a chi, Bangdia lamzan theihlouh loha TOUPA thupiak hihsia na hi ua? TOUPA na lehngatsan jiak un aman leng nou a honlehngatsan ahi, a chi a.

²⁰And 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.

²¹Huan amah a sawmta ua, kumpipa thupiakin TOUPA biakin huangsungah suangin a denglumta uh.

²¹And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the LORD.

²²Huchibangin kumpipa Joasin a pa Jehoiada hehpihna thei gige louin a tapa a that ta hi. Huan, asih kuan in, TOUPAN a hongngaihtuah dinga, phu a honglak sak ding, a chi a.

²²Thus 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.

²³Huan, hichi ahia, kum a hongbeiin Suria sepaihten a hongsual ua; Juda gam leh Jerusalem ah al ut ua, a milian tengteng uh a hihman sak ua, Damaska kumpipa kiangah gallak sum tengteng a khak vekta uhi.

²³And 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.

²⁴Suria sepaihte bel tawmchik kia a hongkuan ua; api leh pute uh Pathian TOUPA a lehngatsan jiak un TOUPAN sepaih tampite a khut uah a pia ahi. Huchibangin Joas tungah gawtna a tung sak uhi.

²⁴For 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.

²⁵Huan, a paisan nung un (natna thupi tak thuakin a paisan ua) amah mite ngeiin siampu Jehoiada tapate sisan jiakin a sawm ua, a lupnaa lum lai a that ua, a sita hi: David khopi ah a vui ua, himahleh kumpipate hanah a phum tei kei uh.

²⁵And 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.

²⁶Hiaite amah sawmmite ahi uh; Amon mi Simeath tapa Zabad leh Moab mi Simrith tapa Jehozabad.Huchiin a tapate tungah thute, a tunga puakgik tak hong kingak tungtang thu te; Pathian in a bawlphat tungtang thu te, ngai dih kumpipa tanchin hilhchianna bu ah gelh ahi. Huan, a sikin a tapa Amazia a lalta hi.

²⁶And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess.

²⁷Huchiin a tapate tungah thute, a tunga puakgik tak hong kingak tungtang thu te; Pathian in a bawlphat tungtang thu te, ngai dih kumpipa tanchin hilhchianna bu ah gelh ahi. Huan, a sikin a tapa Amazia a lalta hi.

²⁷Now 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.
