2 Weche Mag Ndalo 25

1 Amazia ne ja-higni piero ariyo gabich kane odoko ruoth kendo norito Jerusalem kuom higni piero ariyo gochiko. Min mare ne nyinge Jehoadin nyar Jerusalem.

Amasias was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem, the name of his mother was Joadan of Jerusalem.

2 Notimo gima kare e nyim Jehova Nyasaye to ok gi chunye duto.

And he did what was good in the sight of the Lord: but yet not with a perfect heart.

3 Bangʼ ka pinyruodhe nosegurore maber, nonego jotelo mane onego wuon mare mane ruoth.

And when he saw himself strengthened in his kingdom, he put to death the servants that had slain the king his father.

4 Kata kamano ne ok onego yawuot jogo nikech noluwo chik manie Kitap Chik mar Musa mane Jehova Nyasaye oketo mawacho niya, “Wuone ok nonegi nikech ketho mag nyithindgi, bende nyithindo kik negi nikech ketho mag wuonegi, to ngʼato ka ngʼato nonegi nikech richone owuon.”

But he slew not their children, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying: The fathers shall not be slain for the children, nor the children for their fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.

5 Eka Amazia nochoko jo-Juda kod jo-Benjamin kaachiel mopogogi tich kaluwore gi anywolagi kendo noyiero jotend migepe mag jolweny alufu achiel kod migepe mag mia achiel. Bangʼe nokwano jogo mahikgi piero ariyo ka dhi nyime kendo nonwangʼo ni ne gin ji alufu mia adek mane nyalo dhi e lweny kendo mane nyalo kedo gi tongʼ kod okumba.

Amasias therefore gathered Juda together, and appointed them by families, and captains of thousands and of hundreds in all Juda, and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upwards, and found three hundred thousand young men that could go out to battle, and could hold the spear and shield.

6 Bende nondiko jo-Israel mathuondi alufu mia achiel kochulo fedha ma pekne romo kilo alufu adek gi mia angʼwen.

He hired also of Israel a hundred thousand valiant men, for a hundred talents of silver.

7 To ngʼat Nyasaye moro nobiro ire mowachone niya, “Ruoth momi luor, kik iyie mondo jolweny ma jo-Israel dhi kodi nimar Jehova Nyasaye ok ni kod jo-Israel ma jo-Efraim-gi.

But a man of God came to him, and said: O king, let not the army of Israel go out with thee, for the Lord is not with Israel, and all the children of Ephraim:

8 To kata kidhi ma ikedo gi chir e lweny, to Nyasaye nomi wasiki loyi, nikech Nyasayeno nigi teko mar konyi kata miyo wasiki loyi.”

And if thou think that battles consist in the strength of the army, God will make thee to be overcome by the enemies: for it belongeth to God both to help, and to put to flight.

9 Amazia nopenjo ngʼat Nyasaye niya, “To wabiro timo angʼo kuom fedha mapekgi romo kilo alufu adek gi mia angʼwen mane wachulo kuom jolweny mag jo-Israel?” Ngʼat Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Jehova Nyasaye nyalo miyi mangʼeny moloyo mano.”

And Amasias said to the man of God: What will then become of the hundred talents which I have given to the soldiers of Israeli and the man of God answered him: The Lord is rich enough to be able to give thee much more than this.

10 Eka Amazia noriembo jolweny mane oa Efraim mine gidok e miechgi ka igi owangʼ kendo gikecho malich gi Juda.

Then Amasias separated the army, that came to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: but they being much enraged against Juda, returned to their own country.

11 To Amazia notimo chir kendo nowuok motelone jolweny mage kagidhi e Holo mar Chumbi kama nonege jo-Seir alufu apar.

And Amasias taking courage led forth his people, and went to the vale of saltpits, and slew of the children of Seir ten thousand.

12 Jolweny mag Juda nomako ji alufu apar kangima mi negiterogi ewi lwanda moro kendo negidirogi piny ma githo kendo gitur matindo tindo.

And other ten thousand men the sons of Juda took, and brought to the steep of a certain rock, and cast them down headlong from the top, and they all were broken to pieces.

13 To e sechego jolweny mane Amazia oriembo ni ok inyal dhi kode e lweny nomonjo miech Juda chakre Samaria nyaka Beth Horon. Neginego ji alufu adek kendo negipeyo gik moko mangʼeny.

But that army which Amasias had sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, spread themselves among the cities of Juda, from Samaria to Beth-horon, and having killed three thousand took away much spoil.

14 Kane Amazia odwogo koa nego jo-Edom nokelo nyiseche mag jo-Seir moketogi ka nyisechege kokulore nigi kendo notimonigi misango.

But Amasias after he had slain the Edomites, set up the gods of the children of Seir, which he had brought thence, to be his gods, and adored them, and burnt incense to them.

15 Jehova Nyasaye nokecho ahinya gi Amazia kendo noorone janabi manowachone niya, “Angʼo momiyo igeno kuom nyiseche mag jogi mane ok nyal reso jogi giwegi e lweti?”

Wherefore the Lord being angry against Amasias, sent a prophet to him, to say to him: Why hast thou adored gods that have not delivered their own people out of thy hand?

16 Kane pod janabino wuoyo, ruoth nowachone niya, “Bende waseketi jangʼad rieko ne ruoth? Lingʼ thi! Koso idwaro tho?” Omiyo janabi nolingʼ, to bangʼe nowacho niya, “Angʼeyo ni Nyasaye osechano ni mondo otieki nikech gima isetimo kendo ok isewinjo puonjna.”

And when he spoke these things, he answered him: Art thou the king’s counsellor? be quiet, lest I kill thee. And the prophet departing, said: I know that God is minded to kill thee, because thou hast done this evil, and moreover hast not hearkened to my counsel.

17 Bangʼe Amazia ruodh Juda nopenjo jongʼadne rieko mi nooro joote ir Jehoash wuod Jehoahaz ma wuod Jehu ruoth Israel kowacho niya, “Bi warom wangʼ gi wangʼ.”

Then Amasias king of Juda taking very bad counsel, sent to Joas the son of Joachaz the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying: Come, let us see one another.

18 To Jehoash ruodh Israel nodwoko Amazia ruodh Juda gi ngero niya, “Kuth alii man Lebanon nooro wach ne yiend sida man Lebanon ni, ‘Yie ichiw nyari ne wuoda mondo okendi.’ To le moro mar bungu mowuok Lebanon nokadho kanyo monyono kuth aliino gi tiende.

But he sent back the messengers, saying: The thistle that is in Libanus, sent to the cedar in Libanus, saying: Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and behold the beasts that were in the wood of Libanus passed by, and trod down the thistle.

19 In iwuorori ni iseloyo jo-Edom kendo koro iwuoyo marach kisungori. To ber mondo ibed mana e dala. Angʼo momiyo imanyo lweny mabiro tieki kaachiel gi jo-Juda duto?”

Thou hast said: I have overthrown Edom, and therefore thy heart is lifted up with pride: stay at home, why dost thou provoke evil against thee, that both thou shouldst fall and Juda with thee.

20 Kata kamano, Amazia ne ok odewo, nimar ne en dwaro Nyasaye mondo ochiwe e lwet Jehoash nikech negiluwo nyiseche mag Edom.

Amasias would not hearken to him, because it was the Lord’s will that he should be delivered into the hands of enemies, because of the gods of Edom.

21 Omiyo Jehoash ruodh Israel nomonje. Jehoash kod Amazia ruodh Juda ne joromo e lweny e dala mar Beth Shemesh man Juda.

So Joas king of Israel went up, and they presented themselves to be seen by one another: and Amasias king of Juda was in Bethsames of Juda:

22 Jo-Israel noloyo jo-Juda kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato noringo kochomo dalane.

And Juda fell before Israel and they fled to their dwellings.

23 Jehoash ruodh Israel nomako Amazia wuod Joash ma wuod Ahazia, ruodh Juda e Beth Shemesh. Bangʼe Jehoash nokele Jerusalem kendo nomuko ohinga mar Jerusalem chakre e Dhoranga Efraim nyaka kama ohinga ogomogo, bor kama ne omuko ne romo fut mia abich gi piero ochiko gachiel.

And Joas king of Israel took Amasias king of Juda, the son of Joas, the son Joachaz, in Bethsames, and brought him to Jerusalem: and broke down the walls thereof from the gate of Ephraim, to the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits.

24 Nokawo dhahabu gi fedha duto kod gik moko duto mane oyudo e hekalu mar Nyasaye mane Obed-Edom orito kaachiel gi keno mar ruoth kod ji moko mano mako e lweny, bangʼe nodok e piny Samaria.

And he took all the gold, and silver, and all the vessels, that he found in the house of God, and with Obededom, and in the treasures of the king’s house, moreover also the sons of the hostages, he brought back to Samaria.

25 Amazia wuod Joash ruodh Juda nodak higni apar gabich bangʼ tho Jehoash wuod Jehoahaz ruodh Israel.

And Amasias the son of Joas king of Juda lived, after the death of Joas the son of Joachaz king of Israel, fifteen years.

26 To weche mamoko mag loch Amazia kar chakruokgi nyaka gikogi donge ondikgi e kitap ruodhi mag Juda kod Israel?

Now the rest of the acts of Amasias, the first and last, are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.

27 Chakre ndalo mane Amazia oweyo luwo Jehova Nyasaye, negichikone obadho e Jerusalem mi oringo odhi Lakish, to negioro ji bangʼe Lakish ma onege kuno.

And after he revolted from the Lord, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. And he fled into Lachis, and they sent, and killed him there.

28 Noduog ringre kotingʼ gi faras kendo noyike but kwerene e Dala Maduongʼ mar Juda.

And they brought him back upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of David.
