1Joash was seven years old when he began to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Zibiah, of Beersheba.
1Cuukub chihab cuan re laj Joás nak qui-oc chokß xreyeb laj Judá. Caßcßâl chihab quicuan saß xcuanquil aran Jerusalén. Lix naß laj Joás, aßan lix Sibia. Beerseba xtenamit.
2Joash did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
2Laj Joás quixbânu li us chiru li Kâcuaß joß najtil yoßyo laj Joiada laj tij.
3Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he became the father of sons and daughters.
3Laj Joiada quixsicß ruheb cuib li rixakil laj Joás ut queßcuan li ralal ut eb lix rabin riqßuineb li ixk aßan.
4It happened after this, that Joash intended to restore the house of Yahweh.
4Mokon chic laj Joás quixye nak tixyîb chi us lix templo li Kâcuaß.
5He gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, “Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather money to repair the house of your God from all Israel from year to year. See that you expedite this matter.” However the Levites didn’t do it right away.
5Quixbokeb laj tij ut eb laj levita riqßuin ut quixye reheb: —Texxic saß chixjunileb li tenamit li cuanqueb saß xcuênt Judá ut têxoc li tumin li naqßueman rajlal chihab xbaneb laj Israel. Li tumin aßan tâcßanjelak re xyîbanquil chi us lix templo li Kâcuaß li kaDios. Têbânu chi junpât, chan. Abanan eb laj levita incßaß queßxsêba ribeb chixbânunquil.
6The king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, “Why haven’t you required of the Levites to bring in the tax of Moses the servant of Yahweh, and of the assembly of Israel, out of Judah and out of Jerusalem, for the tent of the testimony?”
6Joßcan nak li rey Joás quixbok laj Joiada li xbênil aj tij ut quixye re: —¿Cßaßut nak incßaß xataklaheb laj levita chixxocbal chak li tumin riqßuineb laj Judá ut laj Jerusalén re xyîbanquil li tabernáculo li xocxo cuiß li contrato joß quixye laj Moisés reheb li tenamit?—
7For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up God’s house; and they also gave all the dedicated things of the house of Yahweh to the Baals.
7(Junxil eb li queßoquen chirix lix Atalía li incßaß us xnaßleb queßoc saß lix templo li Kâcuaß ut queßxchap li cßaßak re ru li santobresinbil ut aßan quicßanjelac chiruheb re xlokßoninquil eb lix yîbanbil dios.)
8So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it outside at the gate of the house of Yahweh.
8Li rey quixqßue chi yîbâc jun li câx ut queßxqßue chirix lix templo li Kâcuaß chixcßatk li oquebâl.
9They made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for Yahweh the tax that Moses the servant of God laid on Israel in the wilderness.
9Ut queßxtakla resil reheb chixjunileb li cuanqueb Judá ut Jerusalén nak teßxcßam chak lix mayej ut teßxqßue re li Kâcuaß joß quixye laj Moisés laj cßanjel chiru li Dios reheb laj Israel nak cuanqueb saß li chaki chßochß.
10All the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.
10Ut chixjunileb li cuanqueb xcuanquil ut chixjunileb li tenamit queßxqßue lix mayej chi saheb saß xchßôl toj retal quinujac li câx.
11It was so, that whenever the chest was brought to the king’s officers by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king’s scribe and the chief priest’s officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
11Ut eb laj levita queßxcßam li câx riqßuin laj tzßîb li nacßanjelac chiru li rey. Nak queßril nak nabal li tumin cuan chi saß, laj tzßîb ut li xbênil aj tij queßxcßul li câx ut queßrisi li tumin cuan chi saß. Tojoßnak queßxqßue cuißchic saß xnaßaj. Joßcan queßxbânu cuulaj cuulaj ut queßxxoc nabal li tumin.
12The king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of Yahweh; and they hired masons and carpenters to restore the house of Yahweh, and also such as worked iron and brass to repair the house of Yahweh.
12Li rey ut laj Joiada queßxqßue li tumin reheb li nequeßjolomin re li cßanjel saß lix templo li Kâcuaß. Ut eb aßan chic queßtojoc reheb laj cablanel ut eb laj pechß, joßqueb ajcuiß li nequeßcßanjelac riqßuin li chßîchß hierro ut bronce re nak teßxyîb chi us lix templo li Kâcuaß.
13So the workmen worked, and the work of repairing went forward in their hands, and they set up God’s house in its state, and strengthened it.
13Eb li cuînk li nequeßjolomin re li cßanjel châbileb xnaßleb ut li cßanjel us qui-el chiruheb. Queßxyîb lix templo li Dios ut châbil queßxcanab joß nak quicuan junxil.
14When they had made an end, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, of which were made vessels for the house of Yahweh, even vessels with which to minister and to offer, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. They offered burnt offerings in the house of Yahweh continually all the days of Jehoiada.
14Nak queßxchoy li cßanjel queßxcßam li tumin li qui-elaßan ut queßxkßaxtesi re li rey ut laj Joiada. Ut chiru li tumin aßan queßxyîb li cßaßak re ru li tâcßanjelak saß li templo, joß li cßanjelebâl re xqßuebal li cßatbil mayej ut eb li lecb ut li cßaßak re ru yîbanbil riqßuin oro ut plata. Joß najtil yoßyo laj Joiada junelic yôqueb chixqßuebal lix cßatbil mayej saß lix templo li Kâcuaß.
15But Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died; one hundred thirty years old was he when he died.
15Ac tîx chic chi us laj Joiada nak quicam. Jun ciento chihab riqßuin lajêb xcaßcßâl chihab cuan re nak quicam.
16They buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house.
16Quimukeß saß lix tenamit laj David saß li naßajej li queßmukeß cuiß eb li rey xban nak quicuan saß tîquilal saß xyânkeb laj Israel ut chiru li Dios. Ut quixbânu ajcuiß li us saß lix templo li Dios.
17Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king listened to them.
17Nak camenak chic laj Joiada, eb li cuanqueb xcuanquil aran Judá queßcuulac riqßuin li rey ut queßxye re nak teßxqßue xcuanquil. Ut li rey quixpâb li cßaßru queßxye.
18They forsook the house of Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherim and the idols: and wrath came on Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness.
18Queßxtzßektâna lix templo li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb lix xeßtônil yucuaß ut aß chic li yîbanbil dios xAsera ut eb li jalam ûch queßxlokßoni. Xban li mâc queßxbânu, cßajoß nak quichal xjoskßil li Dios saß xbêneb laj Judá ut eb laj Jerusalén.
19Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again to Yahweh; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.
19Li Kâcuaß quixtaklaheb lix profeta chi âtinac riqßuineb li tenamit ut chixyebal reheb nak teßsukßîk riqßuin li Kâcuaß. Queßxye reheb nak incßaß us yôqueb. Abanan li tenamit incßaß queßabin chiruheb.
20The Spirit of God came on Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said to them, “Thus says God, ‘Why do you disobey the commandments of Yahweh, so that you can’t prosper? Because you have forsaken Yahweh, he has also forsaken you.’”
20Ut lix musikß li Dios quichal riqßuin laj Zacarías li ralal laj Joiada laj tij. Ut laj Zacarías quixakli saß jun li naßajej najt xteram ut quixye reheb li tenamit: —Joßcaßin xye êre li Kâcuaß. “¿Cßaßut nak incßaß nequebânu li cßaßru naxye lix chakßrab li Kâcuaß? Incßaß us tex-êlk. Xetzßektâna li Kâcuaß. Joßcan nak li Kâcuaß xextzßektâna ajcuiß lâex,” chan.
21They conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of Yahweh.
21Abanan eb li tenamit queßxcßûb ru cßaßru teßxbânu re laj Zacarías. Ut li rey quixtaklaheb li tenamit chixcutbal chi pec toj retal queßxcamsi saß li nebâl re lix templo li Kâcuaß.
22Thus Joash the king didn’t remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. When he died, he said, “May Yahweh look at it, and repay it.”
22Quisach saß xchßôl li rey Joás li usilal li qui-ux re xban laj Joiada lix yucuaß laj Zacarías. Quixqßue ban chi camsîc laj Zacarías. Nak yô chi câmc, laj Zacarías quixye re: —Aß taxak li Dios chi-ilok re li cßaßru xabânu ut aßan taxak chiqßuehok rêkaj âcue, chan.
23It happened at the end of the year, that the army of the Syrians 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 their spoil to the king of Damascus.
23Saß li sakßehil eb li soldados aj Siria queßcôeb chi pletic riqßuin laj Joás. Queßcuulac Judá ut queßcuulac ajcuiß Jerusalén. Queßxcamsiheb chixjunileb li nequeßcßamoc be aran ut queßxcßam Damasco riqßuin lix reyeb chixjunil li cßaßak re ru li queßrêchani saß li plêt.
24For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men; and Yahweh delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken Yahweh, the God of their fathers. So they executed judgment on Joash.
24Moco nabaleb ta li soldado aj Siria li queßchal chi pletic. Abanan queßnumta saß xbêneb laj Judá usta kßaxal nabaleb. Li Kâcuaß quixkßaxtesiheb aßan saß rukßeb laj Siria xban nak eb aßan queßxtzßektâna li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb lix xeßtônil yucuaßeb. Joßcan nak li Kâcuaß quixtakla raylal saß xbên li rey Joás.
25When they were departed for him (for they left him very sick), his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed, and he died; and they buried him in the city of David, but they didn’t bury him in the tombs of the kings.
25Nak queßcôeb laj Siria queßxcanab chi tßantßo chi câmc re li rey Joás. Eb li queßcßanjelac chiru queßxcßûb ru cßaßru teßxbânu re xqßuebal rêkaj nak quixqßue chi camsîc laj Zacarías li ralal laj Joiada laj tij. Queßxcamsi laj Joás nak cuan saß xchßât. Chirix aßan queßxmuk saß lix tenamit laj David, abanan mâcuaß saß li naßajej li queßmukeß cuiß eb li rey.
26These are those who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
26Eb li queßcßûban re xcamsinquil li rey Joás, aßaneb aßin: laj Zabad lix yum lix Simeat, Amón xtenamit; ut laj Jozabad lix yum lix Simrit, Moab xtenamit.Ut eb li ralal laj Joás, aßan tzßîbanbil retalileb saß li hu li tzßîbanbil cuiß retalil li cßaßru quilajeßxbânu eb li rey.

27Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens laid on him, and the rebuilding of God’s house, behold, they are written in the commentary of the book of the kings. Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
27Ut eb li ralal laj Joás, aßan tzßîbanbil retalileb saß li hu li tzßîbanbil cuiß retalil li cßaßru quilajeßxbânu eb li rey.
