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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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,

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

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

⁶But it was so, that in the three and twentieth 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 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.”

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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 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.

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

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;

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;

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

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

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.

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 for the trespass offerings, and the money for the sin offerings, was not brought into the house of Yahweh: it was 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 to Jerusalem.

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

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.

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.

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?

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

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

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.

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.
