2 Thusimbu 25
1 Amaziah hi leng ahung chan chun kum somni le nga alhingtaan ahi, amahin Jerusalemma kum somni le ko sungin vai anahomme. Anu chu Jerusalemma konna Jehoaddan ahi
Amaziah was 25 years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled from Jerusalem for 29 years. His mother was Jehoaddin; she was from Jerusalem.
2 Amahin Pathen lunglhai na lamjeng anabollin ahinlah alungthim pumpi anapepon ahi
Amaziah did many things that pleased Yahweh, but he did not do them enthusiastically.
3 Amahin athaneina ahin kisuhdet phatnin apa anathat sepai lamkai teni chu anathat nin ahi
As soon as he was in complete control of his kingdom, he caused to be executed the officials who had murdered his father.
4 Ahinlah achateo ana thapehpoi, aman Mose daanna kisei Pathenin Mose daanna kiseichu anajuijin ahi. Hicheachun achate thilse boljeh a apate kithat louding chuleh pate thilse boljeh a achate kithat louding daan chu anajui ahi, michu amatahin thilse abol jeh a bou kithat ding ahi
But he did not command their sons to be executed; he obeyed what was in the laws that Moses had written. In those laws Yahweh had commanded, “People must not be executed because of [what] their children [have done], and children must not be executed for [what] their parents [have done]. People must be executed only for the sins that they themselves have committed.”
5 Lengpa Amaziah in Judah leh Benjamin phungsung asemtoh in aphung dungjuijin galsat thei sepai hochu sangkhat chunga vaihom jakhat chunga vaihom akoi jin ana gongtoh in ahi. Hiche hochu kum somni leh achung langho abonchaovin sang jathum (Lakh thum) alhing un ahi. Hiche hochu tengcha leh ompho mangcha – a galsatje themcheh lhentum hochu ahiove.
Amaziah summoned the men of [the tribes of] Judah and Benjamin to come to Jerusalem, and there he put them in groups, each clan in a group by themselves. Then he appointed officers to command each group. Some officers commanded 100 men and some commanded 1,000 men. They counted the men who were at least 20 years old; altogether there were 300,000 men. They were all men who were prepared to be in the army, and able to [fight well, ] using spears and shields.
6 Hiche chungchon chun aman sepai sang jakhat (Lakh khat), dangka K. g 3400 (Sangthum le Jali) in Israel sepaiho achodoh in ahi.
Amaziah also hired 100,000 capable soldiers from Israel and paid almost four tons of silver for them.
7 Ahinlah themgaokhat ache in lengpa kommah “Hiche Israel sepai hohi kilhonpi hihin agatin ahi. Sahlam leng gamma konna hunghohi Pathenin amangcha pouve agatin ahi.
But a prophet came to him and said, “Your majesty, you must not allow those soldiers from Israel to march with your soldiers, because Yahweh does not help the people of the tribe of Ephraim or from [anywhere else in] Israel.
8 Nangin amahochu kimangcha leh galla kihatjepmin te nati ding ahin, ahinlah galjo leh gallel nahi Pathen khutna um ahibouvin aman nagalmite najopeh ding ahinai” atipeh in ahi.
Even if your soldiers go and fight courageously in battles, God will cause your enemies to defeat you; do not forget that God has the power to help armies or to cause them to be defeated.”
9 Amaziah chun themgaopa kommachun ‘Ahileh kasumpeh hochu itiding hitam?” atin ahileh Pakaiyin hiche sanga tamjo chu nahin lepehthei ahinai!” atipeh e.
Amaziah asked that prophet, “If I do that, what about the huge amount of silver that I paid to hire those soldiers from Israel?” The prophet replied, “Yahweh is able to pay you back more money than you paid [to hire those soldiers].”
10 Hijeh chun Amaziah in a sepai chohsah hochu a inlang uva alesoltan ahileh amaho Juda mipiho chungah lunghang tahin a inlang nguvah akile taovin ahi.
So Amaziah told those soldiers from Israel to return home. They left to go home, but they were very angry with the king of Judah [for not allowing them to stay and fight].
11 Amaziah amale ama akihan lhon Chikhuh phaicham machun a sepaite apuilutnin Edom sepaite chu akisatpin sangsom athatnin ahi.
Then Amaziah became brave, and he led his army to the Salt Valley. There they killed 10,000 men from the Edom people-group.
12 Chuleh adang sangsom jong galhingin amannin ahi. Agal hing amatnu chu Sela khopi kaldoh na – a apuitouvin aseplhaovin ahileh abonchaovin anoilanga song pi chunga achuovin abonnun athigam taovin ahi.
The army of Judah also captured 10,000 others, and took them to the top of a cliff and threw them all down over the cliff, with the result that their corpses were all smashed to pieces.
13 Alangkhatnah Israel sepaite Amaziah in galla akonpi nomlou anungsol houchun Samaria leh Ben Horon kikah a um Judah khopi hochu adekhummun mi 3000 lang athatnun thiltamtah jong achomdoh un ahi
While that was happening, the soldiers from Israel whom Amaziah had sent home after not allowing them to fight along with his soldiers, raided cities and towns in Judea, from Samaria [city] to Beth-Horon [town]. They killed 3,000 people and took away a great amount of valuable things.
14 Amaziah in Edom mite agajo a ahung kileochun adoibom houchu ahin polutnun akitunun gim namtwi alhutnammun Pathen houvin ahou taovin ahi.
When Amaziah returned [to Jerusalem] after his army had slaughtered the soldiers from Edom, he brought the idols that were worshiped by the people of Edom. He set them up to be his own gods. Then he bowed down to [worship] them and offered sacrifices to them.
15 Hiche athilbol hin Pathen asulung hanglheh tan hijeh chun aman a themgaopao chu Amaziah kommah asollin hitin agaseije “Nang thaneina a kon jengajong amite huhdoh joulou pathen ho chu nangin ibola nahou ham?” agatisah in ahi
Because of that, Yahweh was very angry with Amaziah. He sent a prophet to him, who said, “Why do you worship these foreign gods that were not even able to save their own people when your army attacked them?”
16 Amaziah chun themgaopa thusei chu asutangin lunghantah in ahin donbutnin “Nanghi itih a chu lengpa thuhil dinga naki pansah be hem?” thipmin achuti louleh nanghi kahin thatei ding nahi! atin ahi. Hichun themgaopa chu athiptai, ahinlah gihna thuhohi aseidoh mannin ahi, “Nangin kahilna ho jouse chu na nahsah loujeh in Pathenin nanghi nasuhmang got ahitai tihi kahetai” ati
While he was still speaking, the king said to him, “We certainly did not appoint you to be one of my advisors. So stop [talking]! If you say anything more, [I will tell my soldiers to] kill you!” So the prophet said, “I know that God has determined to get rid of you, because you have [begun to] worship idols, and have not heeded my advice.” Then the prophet said nothing more.
17 Judahte lengpa Amaziah in ama thuhilla pangho thu chu alaan Israel tetoh kisat dingin tohgon ahin neitai. hitichun, aman Israel lengpa Jehoahaz chapa chuleh Jehu tupa Jehoash komma chun thu ahin thottan kisat tou hite tin ahin chouvin ahi
Some time later Amaziah, the king of Judah, consulted his advisors. Then he sent a message to Jehoash, the king of Israel. He wrote, “Come here and let’s talk together.”
18 Jehoash chun Amaziah kommah adonbutnin alethotnin “Khatvei hi Lebanon Molhoa kon in lingthing phung khatnin Cedar thingphung kommah “Kachapa jidingin nachanu chu neihin pen atin ahileh gamsakhat ahungvah len lingphung chu ahung pal bongtaan ahi
But Jehoash replied to King Amaziah, “One time a thistle growing [in the mountains] in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar tree saying, ‘Let your daughter marry my son.’ But a wild animal in Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle under its feet.
19 Tun Amaziah nangin Edom mite najomannin nakilet sah tai ahinlah na in na nakitou thimbeh dinga kaseipeh nahi. nangman na mite manthahna dingbep ma mi nachouham?
[The meaning of what I am saying is that] you are saying to yourself that your army has defeated the army of Edom, so you have become very proud. But you should stay at your home. It would not be good for you to cause trouble, which would result in you and your kingdom of Judah being destroyed.”
20 Ahinlah Amaziah chun mithusei angaipon ahi Edom mite doihou hochu aman jong ahin houphat na Pathenin amachu gal alelsah got ahi
But Amaziah refused to heed Jehoash’s message. That happened because God wanted Jehoash’s army to defeat them, because they were worshiping the gods of Edom.
21 Hitichun Israel lengpa Jehoash chu Judah lengpa Amaziah toh kisat dingin ahung kondoh tan ahi. Amaho chu Judah gamma Beth – Shemesh munnah akimai touvin ahi
So Jehoash’s army attacked. Their two armies faced each other at Beth-Shemesh [city] in Judah.
22 Judah Sepaiten alellun a inlanguvah ajam gamtaovin ahi
The army of Judah was badly defeated by the army of Israel, and all the soldiers of Judah fled to their homes.
23 Jehoash in Amaziah chu amannin Jerusalem langah akaitaan ahi. Hichun aman Jerusalem kulpi palchu Ephraim kelkot phunga pat kulpi ning kelkot phung geijin tong jali jen avochimtai
King Jehoash’s army also captured King Amaziah there. Then he brought Amaziah to Jerusalem, and his soldiers tore down the wall [that was around the city], from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate. That was a section that was about 600 feet long.
24 Aman Pathen Houin sunga kon in Sana le dangka chuleh thiljouse chu abonchan akichomdoh in, angahpa Obed – Edom jongchu amat than chuleh lengpa in na thilgun hojouse jong achommin chuleh ahingin miphabep jong Samaria langah akai taovin ahi
His soldiers also carried away the gold and silver and other valuable furnishings from the temple which the descendants of Obed-Edom had previously been guarding. They also took away the valuable things in the palace, and they took to Samaria some prisoners whom they had captured.
25 Judah lengpa Joash chapa Amaziah Israel lengpa Jehoahaz chapa Joash thijouvin kum 15 ahing nalaijjin ahi
King Jehoash of Israel died, and King Amaziah of Judah lived for 15 years after that.
26 Amaziah vaihom akipatna pat akichai geija anatoh athilbol hojouse chu Judah le Israel lengte thusim kijih lutna lekha bua chun aumsoh keijin ahi
An account of all the other things that Amaziah did while he was the king [of Judah] is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah and Israel’.
27 Amaziah Pakaija konna ahung kiheimanga kon in Jerusalem ama dounan tohgon ahung umtaan ahileh ama Lachish lamma ajam taan ahi ahinlah amahon Lachish lamma mi asollun hichea chun ahin that taovin ahi
From the time that Amaziah started to disobey Yahweh, some men in Jerusalem planned to kill him. He was able to escape to Lachish [city], but those who wanted to kill him sent another group of people to Lachish and killed him there.
28 Hichun amahon sakol lah ahin pouvin Judah khopi ah apu apa te kivuina – a avui taove
They put his corpse on a horse and brought it back to Jerusalem and buried it where his ancestors [had been buried] in the part of Jerusalem called ‘The City of David’.
