2 Ruodhi 14

1 E higa mar ariyo mar loch Jehoash wuod Jehoahaz ruodh Israel, Amazia wuod Joash ruodh Juda nobedo ruoth.

In the second year of Joash, son of Joahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah, the son of Joash, became king of Judah.

2 Ne en ja-higni piero ariyo gabich kane obedo ruoth kendo norito Jerusalem kuom higni piero ariyo gochiko. Min mare ne nyinge Jehoadin, nyar Jerusalem.

He was twenty-five years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years; his mother's name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.

3 Notimo gima kare e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, to ok kaka Daudi kwar mare notimo. Noluwo tim wuon mare Joash e gik moko duto.

He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, though not like David his father; he did as Joash his father had done.

4 Kata kamano kuonde motingʼore gi malo mag wangʼo misengini ne ok omuki, kendo ji nodhi nyime mana gi chiwo misengini kod wangʼo ubani mangʼwe ngʼar kanyo.

But still the high places were not taken away; the people went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.

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

Now when he became strong in the kingdom, straight away he put to death those servants who had taken the life of the king his father;

6 Kata kamano ne ok onego yawuot jonekgo koluwo gima ondikie 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 did not put their children to death; for the orders of the Lord recorded in the book of the law of Moses say, The fathers are not to be put to death for the children, or the children for their fathers; but a man is to be put to death for the sin which he himself has done.

7 Amazia ema ne oloyo jolweny jo-Edom alufu apar e holo mar Chumbi kendo nomako Sela e lweny, moloko nyinge ni Jokthel, kendo pod iluonge kamano nyaka chil kawuono.

He put to the sword twelve thousand men of Edom in the Valley of Salt, and took Sela in war, naming it Joktheel, as it is to this day.

8 Bangʼ mano Amazia nooro joote ir Jehoash wuod Jehoahaz, ma wuod Jehu ruodh Israel, kosieme niya, “Bi warom wangʼ gi wangʼ.”

Then Amaziah sent representatives to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us have a meeting face to face.

9 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.

And Jehoash, king of Israel, sent to Amaziah, king of Judah, saying, The thorn-tree in Lebanon sent to the cedar in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son for a wife: and a beast from the woodland in Lebanon went by, crushing the thorn under his feet.

10 En adier ni iseloyo jo-Edom kendo koro iwuoyo marach. Bed mamor kuom lochnino, to kik iwuogi e dala! Angʼo momiyo imanyo lweny mabiro tieki kaachiel gi jo-Juda duto?”

It is true that you have overcome Edom and your heart is uplifted; let that glory be enough for you, and keep in your country; why do you make causes of trouble, putting yourself, and Judah with you, in danger of downfall?

11 Kata kamano Amazia ne ok odewo, omiyo Jehoash ruodh Israel nomonje. Jehoash kod Amazia ruodh Juda ne joromo e lweny e dala mar Beth Shemesh man Juda.

But Amaziah gave no attention. So Jehoash, king of Israel, went up, and he and Amaziah, king of Judah, came face to face at Beth-shemesh, which is in Judah.

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

And Judah was overcome before Israel, so that they went in flight, every man to his tent.

13 Jehoash ruodh Israel nomako Amazia ruodh Juda, ma wuod Joash, ma wuod Ahazia e Beth Shemesh. Bangʼe Jehoash nodhi 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 Jehoash, king of Israel, made Amaziah, king of Judah, the son of Jehoash, son of Ahaziah, prisoner at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and had the wall of Jerusalem pulled down from the doorway of Ephraim to the door in the angle, four hundred cubits.

14 Nokawo dhahabu gi fedha duto kod gik moko duto mane oyudo e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kod mwandu duto mane ni e od ruoth, bende nokawo. Ji moko mano mako e lweny, bangʼe nodok e piny Samaria.

And he took all the gold and silver and all the vessels which were in the house of the Lord and in the store-house of the king, together with those whose lives would be the price of broken faith, and went back to Samaria.

15 To kuom gik mamoko duto mane otimore e ndalo loch Jehoash, gi gik moko duto mane otimo kod teko mane okedogi Amazia ruodh Juda, donge ondikgi e kitepe mag weche ruodhi mag Israel?

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash, and his power, and how he went to war with Amaziah, king of Judah, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

16 Jehoash notho moyweyo gi kwerene kendo noyike Samaria gi ruodhi Israel kendo Jeroboam wuode nobedo ruoth kare.

And Jehoash went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son became king in his place.

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

Amaziah, the son of Joash, king of Judah, went on living for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.

18 To weche mamoko mag loch Amazia, donge ondikgi e kitap weche ruodhi mag Juda?

And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

19 Negichikone obadho e Jerusalem mi oringo odhi Lakish, to negioro ji bangʼe Lakish ma onege kuno.

Now they made a secret design against him in Jerusalem; and he went in flight to Lachish, but they sent after him to Lachish and put him to death there.

20 Noduog ringre kotingʼ gi faras kendo noyike Jerusalem but kwerene e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi.

And they took his body on horseback and put it into the earth with his fathers in Jerusalem, the town of David.

21 Eka jo-Juda duto nokawo Azaria mane hike apar gi auchiel mokete ruoth kar wuon mare Amazia.

Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.

22 En ema ne ogero kuonde mane omukore mag Elath, mi odwoke ne Juda bangʼ ka ruoth Amazia nosetho moike gi kwerene.

He was the builder of Elath, which he got back for Judah after the death of the king.

23 E higa mar apar gabich mar Amazia wuod Joash ruodh Juda, Jeroboam wuod Jehoash ruodh Israel nobedo ruodh Samaria kendo nobedo ruoth kuom higni piero angʼwen gachiel.

In the fifteenth year of the rule of Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel, became king in Samaria, ruling for forty-one years.

24 Timbene ne richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kendo ne ok olokore weyo yore mag richo mar Jeroboam wuod Nebat, mane omiyo jo-Israel otimo.

He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not turning away from the sin which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do.

25 En ema ne odwoko tongʼ mag Israel chakre Lebo Hamath nyaka chop Nam mar Araba, kaluwore gi wach Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, mane owacho koa e dho jatichne Jona wuod Amitai, mane janabi moa Gath Hefer.

He got back the old limits of Israel from the way into Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, as the Lord had said by his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet of Gath-hepher.

26 Jehova Nyasaye noneno kaka joma ni Israel ne sandore malit, bedni ne gin wasumbini kata ok gin wasumbini; maonge ngʼama ne nyalo resogi.

For the Lord saw how bitter was the trouble of Israel, and that everyone was cut off, he who was shut up and he who went free, and that Israel had no helper.

27 To nikech Jehova Nyasaye ne pok owacho ni obiro golo nying jo-Israel e piny, nomiyo Jeroboam wuod Jehoash oresogi.

And the Lord had not said that the name of Israel was to be taken away from the earth; but he gave them a saviour in Jeroboam, the son of Joash.

28 To kuom gik mamoko duto mane otimore e ndalo loch Jeroboam kod lochne e lwenje duto, kaachiel gi kaka noduogo Damaski kod Hamath mane ni e lwet Juda ne Israel; donge ondikgi e kitepe mag weche ruodhi mag Israel.

Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all he did, and his power, and how he went to war with Damascus, causing the wrath of the Lord to be turned away from Israel, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

29 Jeroboam notho moyweyo gi kwerene, mane ruodhi mag Israel kendo Zekaria wuode nobedo ruoth kare.

And Jeroboam went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son became king in his place.
