2 Chronicles 25
1 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.
Amazia xɔ ƒe blaeve vɔ atɔ̃ esi wòzu fia. Eɖu fia le Yerusalem ƒe blaeve vɔ asieke. Dadaa ŋkɔe nye Yehoadin, tso Yerusalem.
2 And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, but not with a perfect heart.
Ewɔa nu si dze Mawu ŋu enuenu gake menye ɣe sia ɣi o!
3 Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he killed his servants who had killed the king his father.
Esi wòkpɔ be fiaɖuƒe la li ke ɖe yeƒe asi me la, ewu dumegã siwo katã wu fofoa.
4 But he did not put their sons to death, but did according to that which is written in the law in the book of Moses, as Jehovah commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the sons, neither shall the sons die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
ke mewu wo viwo ya o. Ewɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe se si wòde woŋlɔ ɖe Mose ƒe segbalẽa me ene be, “Womawu fofowo ɖe wo viwo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta o, nenema ke viwo hã maku ɖe wo fofowo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta o, ke boŋ ele be ame sia ame naku ɖe eya ŋutɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃ ta.”
5 Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and appointed them according to their fathers' houses, for heads of thousands and heads of hundreds, even all Judah and Benjamin. And he numbered them from twenty years old and upward, and found them three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go forth to war, who could handle spear and shield.
Gawu la, Amazia yɔ Yuda katã ƒo ƒu eye wòde dɔ asi na wo le woƒe ƒomeawo nu be, woanye asrafo akpewo kple asrafo alafa ɖekawo ƒe aʋafiawo na Yuda kple Benyamin katã. Emegbe la etia ɖekakpui siwo xɔ ƒe blaeve alo wu nenema eye wokpɔ be woƒe xexlẽme de akpe alafa etɔ̃, wole klalo na asrafodɔ wɔwɔ ame siwo ate ŋu awɔ akplɔ kple akpoxɔnu ŋu dɔ nyuie.
6 He also hired a hundred thousand mighty men of valor out of Israel for a hundred talents of silver.
Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, etsɔ aʋawɔla xɔŋkɔ akpe alafa ɖeka tso Israel kple klosaloga tɔn etɔ̃.
7 But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee. For Jehovah is not with Israel, namely, with all the sons of Ephraim.
Ke nyagblɔɖila aɖe va gblɔ nya si tso Mawu gbɔ la nɛ be, “Oo fia, mègatsɔ aʋawɔlawo tso Israel o elabena Yehowa meli kpli wo o.
8 But if thou are going, do it. Be strong for the battle, because God will cast thee down before the enemy, for God has power to help, and to cast down.
Ne èna woyi aʋa la kple wò amewo la, aleke ke miawɔ aʋa lae hã la, woaɖu mia dzi kokoko elabena ŋusẽ le Mawu si be wòakpe ɖe mia ŋu loo alo wòagblẽ nu me na mi.”
9 And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, Jehovah is able to give thee much more than this.
Amazia bia Mawu ƒe ame la be, “Klosaloga tɔn etɔ̃ kple afã si mexe ɖe Israel ƒe aʋakɔwo ta ya ɖe?” Mawu ƒe ame la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Yehowa ate ŋu ana ga wò wòasɔ gbɔ sãa wu ema.”
10 Then Amaziah separated them, namely, the army that came to him out of Ephraim, to go home again. Therefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger.
Ale Amazia na aʋawɔla siwo wòtsɔ la trɔ dzo yi Efraim. Nu sia na wobu be, Amazia ɖi gbɔ̃ yewo eye wodo dɔmedzoe ɖe eŋuti ŋutɔ.
11 And Amaziah took courage, and led forth his people, and went to the Valley of Salt, and smote ten thousand of the sons of Seir.
Dzi ɖo Amazia ƒo, ekplɔ eƒe aʋakɔ yi Dze Balime eye wowu ame akpe ewo tso Seir.
12 And the sons of Judah carried away ten thousand alive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were broken in pieces.
Wolé ame akpe ewo bubu agbagbe, kplɔ wo yi to aɖe tame; wotu asi wo tso afi ma eye woge dze agakpewo dzi le balime la, nuvevi wɔ wo eye woku.
13 But the men of the army whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even to Beth-horon, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil.
Israel ƒe aʋakɔ si Amazia gbugbɔ ɖo ɖe aƒe la, ge ɖe Yudanyigba dzi eye woha nu le du geɖewo me le Bet Horon lɔƒo ɖo ta Samaria. Wowu ame akpe etɔ̃ eye woha aboyonu geɖewo.
14 Now it came to pass, after Amaziah came from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the sons of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense to them.
Esi Fia Amazia ɖu Edomtɔwo dzi eye wòtrɔ gbɔ la, etsɔ legba siwo woxɔ le Seirtɔwo si la gbɔe. Etsɔ wo ɖo mawuwoe, dea ta agu na wo eye wòdoa dzudzɔ na wo.
15 Therefore the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Amaziah. And he sent a prophet to him, who said to him, Why have thou sought after the gods of the people, which have not delivered their own people out of thy hand?
Nu sia do dɔmedzoe na Yehowa ŋutɔ, eya ta wòɖo nyagblɔɖila aɖe ɖa be wòabia Amazia be, “Nu ka ta nèsubɔ mawu siwo mete ŋu ɖe woawo ŋutɔ ƒe amewo tso wò asi me o ɖo?”
16 And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said to him, Have we made thee of the king's counsel? Cease. Why should thou be smitten? Then the prophet ceased, and said, I know that God has determined to destroy thee, because thou have done this, and have not hearkened to my counsel.
Fia Amazia ɖo eŋu na nyagblɔɖila la be, “Ɣe ka ɣie mebia wò aɖaŋuɖoɖo kpɔ? Zi ɖoɖoe kaba, ne menye nenema o la, mana woawu wò.” Esi nyagblɔɖila la dzo yina la, egblɔ na Fia Amazia be, “Menya be Mawu ɖo ta me be yeatsrɔ̃ wò le esi nèsubɔ legba siawo eye mèse nye nuxlɔ̃amenya o la ta.”
17 Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look each other in the face.
Azɔ la, Yuda fia, Amazia, se eƒe aɖaŋuɖolawo ƒe gbe eye wòho aʋa ɖe Israel fia, Yoas, Yehoahaz ƒe vi kple Yehu ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi ŋu.
18 And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife. And there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trampled down the thistle.
Fia Yoas do lo sia na Amazia be, “Ŋuve sue aɖe le Lebanon towo dzi gblɔ na sedati be, ‘Tsɔ viwò nyɔnu nam maɖe na vinye ŋutsu.’ Le ɣe ma ɣi tututu la, lã wɔadã aɖe va nye avuzi le ŋuve la dzi eye wògbãe ɖe anyigba.
19 Thou say, Lo, I have smitten Edom. And thy heart lifts thee up to boast. Remain now at home. Why should thou meddle to thy hurt, that thou should fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
Èle gbɔgblɔm na ɖokuiwò be yeɖu Edomtɔwo dzi eye wònye adegbeƒoƒo gã aɖe na wò. Ke aɖaŋu si maɖo na wò lae nye nàkpɔ ŋudzedze le wò dziɖuɖu ŋu eye nànɔ mia de kpoo! Nu ka ta nàhe dzɔgbevɔ̃e va ɖokuiwò kple Yuda siaa dzi?”
20 But Amaziah would not hear, for it was of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought after the gods of Edom.
Amazia meɖo to nya sia o elabena Mawu nɔ ɖoɖo wɔm be yeatsrɔ̃e le esi wòde ta agu na Edomtɔwo ƒe mawuwo ta.
21 So Joash king of Israel went up. And he and Amaziah king of Judah looked each other in the face at Beth-shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
Israel fia Yoas kple Amazia ƒe aʋakɔwo do go le Bet Semes le Yuda.
22 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.
Ke Israel si Yuda eye eƒe aʋakɔ katã si yi aƒe.
23 And Joash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
Israel fia Yehoas lé Amazia, Yuda fia, ame si nye Yoas ƒe vi, Ahazia ƒe vi le Bet Semes. Tete Yehoas kplɔe va Yerusalem eye wògbã Yerusalem ƒe gliwo ƒu anyi tso Efraimgbo la nu va se ɖe Dzogoedzigbo la gbɔ. Teƒe si wògbã la didi abe mita alafa ɖeka blaenyi ene.
24 And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obed-edom, and the treasures of the king's house, also the hostages, and returned to Samaria.
Eye wòlɔ sika kple klosalowo katã kpakple ŋudɔwɔnuawo katã le Obed Edom si me le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me le hekpe ɖe kesinɔnu siwo katã nɔ fiasã la me kple awɔbamewo ŋuti yi Samaria.
25 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived fifteen years after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.
Ke Yuda fia Amazia, Yoas vi, nɔ agbe ƒe wuiatɔ̃ le Israel fia Yehoas, Yehoahaz vi ƒe ku megbe.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?
Woŋlɔ Amazia ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa ɖe Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
27 Now from the time that Amaziah turned away from following Jehovah they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But they sent after him to Lachish, and killed him there.
Tso esime wòtrɔ le Yehowa yome la, woɖo nugbe ɖe eƒe agbe ŋu le Yerusalem ale wòsi yi Lakis, ke eƒe futɔwo dɔ ame ɖa woyi Lakis ɖawui le afi ma.
28 And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
Wokɔ eƒe kukua ɖe sɔwo dzi va ɖi ɖe fiawo ƒe ameɖibɔ me le Yerusalem ƒe akpa si nye Fia David ƒe du la me.
