2 Khokhuen 25

1 Amaziah te kum kul kum nga a lo ca vaengah manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum kul kum ko manghai. A manu ming tah Jerusalem lamkah Jehoaddin ni.

Amaziah [was] a son of twenty-five years [when] he has reigned, and he has reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jehoaddan of Jerusalem,

2 BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem a saii dae thinko rhuemtuet nen moenih.

and he does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH—only, not with a perfect heart.

3 Anih kut hmuiah ram te a cak vanbangla a napa manghai aka ngawn a sal rhoek te a ngawn.

And it comes to pass, when the kingdom has been strong on him, that he slays his servants, those striking his father the king,

4 A ca rhoek te tah Moses cabu dongkah olkhueng khuiah a daek bangla duek sak pawh. Te ah te BOEIPA loh a uen tih, “A ca kongah a napa duek boel saeh, a napa kongah a ca he duek boel saeh. Hlang he amah tholhnah kongah amah duek saeh,” a ti.

and he has not put their sons to death, but [did] as is written in the Law, in the Scroll of Moses, whom YHWH commanded, saying, “Fathers do not die for sons, and sons do not die for fathers, but they each die for his own sin.”

5 Amaziah loh Judah te a coi tih amih te a napa imkhui tarhing ah thawngkhat mangpa, yakhat mangpa te Judah pum neh Benjamin ham a pai sak. Te vaengah amih te tongpa kum kul lamloh a so hang te a soep. Te vaengah cai neh photlinglen aka pom tih caempuei la caeh ham a coelh he thawng ya thum a hmuh.

And Amaziah gathers Judah and appoints them according to the house of the fathers, for heads of the thousands and for heads of the hundreds, for all Judah and Benjamin; and he inspects them from a son of twenty years and upward, and finds them [to be] three hundred thousand chosen ones, going forth to the host, holding spear and buckler.

6 Israel lamkah tatthai hlangrhalh thawng yakhat te cak talent yakhat neh a paang.

And he hires out of Israel one hundred thousand mighty men of valor, with one hundred talents of silver;

7 Te vaengah Pathen kah hlang te anih taengla pawk tih, “Manghai aw, Israel caempuei te nang taengla ha pawk mahpawh. BOEIPA he Israel taeng neh Ephraim koca boeih taengah a om moenih.

and a man of God has come to him, saying, “O king, the host of Israel does not go with you; for YHWH is not with Israel—all the sons of Ephraim;

8 Na cet tih caemtloek vaengah thaahuel la na saii mai cakhaw Pathen loh nang te thunkha mikhmuh ah m'palet sak ni. Pathen taengah tah bom ham neh palet sak ham khaw thadueng om a ti nah.

but if you are going, do [it], be strong for battle, God causes you to stumble before an enemy, for there is power in God to help, and to cause to stumble.”

9 Amaziah loh Pathen kah hlang te, “Tedae Israel caem hamla talent yakhat ka paek nen te balae ka saii eh?,” a ti tah. Te vaengah Pathen kah hlang loh, “Te lakah a kum ngai nang taengah m'paek ham te BOEIPA taengah om,” a ti nah.

And Amaziah says to the man of God, “But what to do about the hundred talents that I have given to the troop of Israel?” And the man of God says, “YHWH has more to give to you than this.”

10 Te dongah amih te Amaziah loh a phihrha sak tih anih taengla aka pawk caem te khaw Ephraim lamloh amah hmuen la a caeh sak. Te vaengah amih kah thintoek te Judah taengah sai khungdaeng tih amah hmuen la thinling thintoek neh mael uh.

And Amaziah separates them, of the troop that has come to him from Ephraim, to go to their own place; and their anger burns mightily against Judah, and they return to their place in the heat of anger.

11 Te phoeiah tah Amaziah loh thaa a huel tih a pilnam te a khool. Kolrhawk la cet bal tih Seir koca thawng rha te a ngawn.

And Amaziah has strengthened himself, and leads his people, and goes to the Valley of Salt, and strikes ten thousand of the sons of Seir.

12 Te vaengah Judah ca rhoek te a hing la thawng rha a sol tih amih te thaelpang pango la a khuen uh. Te phoeiah amih te thaelpang pango lamloh a tulh uh tih a pum la sah uh.

And the sons of Judah have taken captive ten thousand alive, and they bring them to the top of the rock, and cast them from the top of the rock, and all of them have been broken.

13 Caemtloek vaengah anih neh aka pongpa khuiah caem pa rhoek te Amaziah loh a mael sak vaengah tah, Judah khopuei ah Samaria lamloh Bethhoron la capit uh tih, te rhoek lamkah te thawng thum a ngawn uh dongah kutbuem muep a poelyoe uh.

And the sons of the troop that Amaziah has sent back from going with him to battle—they rush against cities of Judah, from Samaria even to Beth-Horon, and strike three thousand of them, and seize much prey.

14 Edom aka ngawn lamloh Amaziah a mael hnukah atah Seir ca rhoek kah pathen te a khuen. Te te amah ham pathen la a khueh tih a mikhmuh ah a bakop pah, te rhoek taengah phum uh.

And it comes to pass after the coming in of Amaziah from striking the Edomites, that he brings in the gods of the sons of Seir, and establishes them for gods for himself, and bows himself before them, and he makes incense to them.

15 Te dongah BOEIPA kah thintoek te Amaziah taengah sai tih a taengla tonghma a tueih pah. Te vaengah anih te, “Balae tih nang kut lamkah a pilnam aka huul thai pawh pilnam pathen te na toem?” a ti nah.

And the anger of YHWH burns against Amaziah, and He sends a prophet to him, and he says to him, “Why have you sought the gods of the people that have not delivered their people out of your hand?”

16 A taengah a thui ham a om li vaengah anih te, “Manghai taengah aka uento la nang kam paek uh a? Nang te paa laeh, balae tih nang n'ngawn uh eh?,” a ti nah. Te vaengah tonghma te a paa sak dae, “Ka cilsuep he na hnatun pawt tih he tla na saii dongah nang phae hamla Pathen loh a thui te ka ming,” a ti nah.

And it comes to pass, in his speaking to him, that he says to him, “Have we appointed you for a counselor to the king? For you [must] cease; why do they strike you?” And the prophet ceases and says, “I have known that God has counseled to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel.”

17 Judah manghai Amaziah loh a uen phoeiah tah Israel manghai Jehu koca, Jehoahaz capa Joash te a tah tih, “Nang te lo lamtah maelhmai hmu uh rhoi sih,” a ti nah.

And Amaziah king of Judah takes counsel, and sends to Joash son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying,

18 Tedae Israel manghai Joash loh Judah manghai Amaziah te ol a pat tih, “Lebanon kah mutlo hling loh Lebanon kah lamphai te a tah tih, 'Nang canu te kai capa yuu la m'pae mai,’ a ti nah. Te vaengah Lebanon ah aka pong khohmuen mulhing loh mutlo hling te a taelh.

“Come, we look one another in the face.” And Joash king of Israel sends to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thorn that [is] in Lebanon has sent to the cedar that [is] in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son for a wife; and a beast of the field that [is] in Lebanon passes by and treads down the thorn.

19 Edom na ngawn te na thui tih na lungbuei thangpom ham na phuel uh coeng te. Namah im ah om laeh. Balae tih boethae te na huet? Te dongah ni namah neh na taengkah Judah khaw na cungku puei,” a ti nah.

You have said, Behold, I have struck Edom; and your heart has lifted you up to boast; now, abide in your house, why do you stir yourself up in evil, that you have fallen, you and Judah with you?”

20 Tedae Amaziah loh a hnatun pawt he Pathen taeng lamkah coeng dongah ni. Edom pathen te a toem uh dongah amih kut ah a tloeng van.

And Amaziah has not listened, for it [is] from God in order to give them into [their] hand, because they have sought the gods of Edom;

21 Israel manghai Joash te cet tangloeng tih Judah kah Bethshemesh ah Judah manghai Amaziah neh a maelhmai a hmuh uh.

and Joash king of Israel goes up, and they look one another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, in Beth-Shemesh, that [is] Judah’s,

22 Te vaengah Judah te Israel mikhmuh ah yawk tih hlang khaw amah kah dap la rhaelrham uh.

and Judah is struck before Israel, and they flee—each to his tents.

23 Jehoahaz koca Joash capa Judah manghai Amaziah te khaw Israel manghai Joash loh Bethshemesh ah a tuuk tih anih te Jerusalem la akhuen. Te phoeiah Jerusalem vongtung te Ephraim vongka lamloh bangkil vongka hil dong ya li te a phae pah.

And Joash king of Israel has caught Amaziah king of Judah, son of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, in Beth-Shemesh, and brings him to Jerusalem, and breaks down in the wall of Jerusalem from the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gate—four hundred cubits,

24 Te vaengah sui neh cak boeih khaw, Obededom neh Pathen im kah a hmuh hnopai boeih khaw, manghai im kah thakvoh te khaw, hlangtlan ca rhoek te khaw Samaria la a mael puei.

and [takes] all the gold, and the silver, and all the vessels that are found in the house of God with Obed-Edom, and the treasures of the house of the king, and the sons of the pledges, and turns back to Samaria.

25 Israel manghai Jehoahaz capa Joash a dueknah hnukah Judah manghai Joash capa Amaziah he kum hlai nga hing pueng.

And Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, lives after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years;

26 Amaziah kah ol noi a kung neh a dong khaw, Judah neh Israel manghai cabu khuiah a daek uh moenih a te?

and the rest of the matters of Amaziah, the first and the last, behold, are they not written on the scrolls of the kings of Judah and Israel?

27 Te vaeng tue lamlong tah Amaziah te BOEIPA hnuk lamloh nong tih anih te Jerusalem ah lairhui neh a taeng uh. Te dongah Lakhish la rhaelrham dae anih hnukah Lakhish la a tueih uh tih anih te pahoi a duek sakuh.

And from the time that Amaziah has turned aside from after YHWH—they make a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he flees to Lachish, and they send after him to Lachish, and put him to death there,

28 Anih te marhang neh a phueih uh tih Judah khopuei kah a napa rhoek taengah a up uh.

and lift him up on the horses, and bury him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
