< 2 Kings 14 >

1 In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel, Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah began to reign.
Le Israel fia, Yehoas, Yehoahaz ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe evelia me la, Amazia, Yoas ƒe vi zu fia le Yuda.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.
Amazia xɔ ƒe blaeve vɔ atɔ̃ ɣe ma ɣi eye wòɖu fia le Yerusalem ƒe blaeve-vɔ-asiekɛ. Dadaa ŋkɔe nye Yehoadin, ame si tso Yerusalem.
3 And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, yet not like David his father. He did according to all that Joash his father had done.
Amazia wɔ nu si dze Yehowa ŋu. Togbɔ be mede tɔgbuia David nu o hã la, enye fia nyui aɖe abe fofoa Yoas ene.
4 However the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
Megbã nuxeƒewo le toawo dzi o, ale ameawo gasaa vɔ eye wogadoa dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ le afi ma kokoko.
5 And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, that he killed his servants who had slain the king his father,
Esi Amazia kpɔ be fiaɖuƒe la li ke ɖe yeƒe asi me la, ewu dumegã siwo katã wu fofoa.
6 but he did not put to death the sons of the murderers, according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as Jehovah commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the sons, nor the sons be put to death for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
Ke mewu hlɔ̃dolawo ƒe viwo o, abe ale si Yehowa de se gblɔ woŋlɔ ɖe Mose ƒe Segbalẽa me ene bena, “Womawu fofowo ɖe viwo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta o, eye nenema ke womawu viwo ɖe fofowo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta o. Woawu ame sia ame ɖe eya ŋutɔ ko ƒe nu vɔ̃ ta.”
7 He killed ten thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt, and took Sela by war, and called the name of it Joktheel, to this day.
Amaziae wu Edomtɔ akpe ewo le Dze Balime. Exɔ Sela du la hã eye wòtrɔ ŋkɔ nɛ bena Yɔkteel. Ŋkɔ sia tsi eŋu va se ɖe egbe.
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look each other in the face.
Gbe ɖeka la, Yuda fia, Amazia ɖo du ɖe Israel fia Yehoas, Yehoahaz ƒe vi kple Yehu tɔgbuiyɔvi la, be ne enye ŋutsu la, wòakplɔ eƒe aʋakɔ vɛ yewoawɔ aʋa.
9 And Jehoash the 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 a wild beast that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled the thistle.
Fia Yehoas 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.
10 Thou have indeed smitten Edom, and thy heart has lifted thee up. Glory by it, and abide at home, for why should thou meddle to thy hurt, that thou should fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
Èɖu 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?”
11 But Amaziah would not hear. So Jehoash 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.
Ke Amazia gbe toɖoɖoe, ale Israel fia Yehoas ƒo ƒu aʋakɔ aɖe nu ɖe eŋu. Yoas kple Amazia ƒe aʋakɔwo do go le Bet Semes le Yuda.
12 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.
13 And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came 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 yi 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.
14 And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
Fia Yehoas lɔ sika kple klosalo kple sikakplu siwo le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔa me kple fiasã la ƒe nudzraɖoƒewo katã hekpe ɖe awɔbamewo ŋu eye wògbugbɔ yi Samaria.
15 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Woŋlɔ nu mamlɛawo tso Yehoas ƒe fiaɖuɖu kple eƒe aʋawɔwɔ kple Yuda fia Amazia ŋu ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
16 And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. And Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.
Esi Yehoas ku la, woɖii ɖe Samaria le Israel fia bubuwo gbɔ eye via Yeroboam ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
17 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived fifteen years after the death of Jehoash 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.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Woŋlɔ Amazia ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa ɖe Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
19 And they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. And he fled to Lachish. But they sent after him to Lachish, and killed him there.
Woɖo nugbe ɖe eƒe agbe ŋu le Yerusalem ale wòsi yi Lakis, ke eƒe futɔwo dɔ ame ɖa woyi Lakis ɖawui le afi ma.
20 And they brought him upon horses, and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.
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.
21 And all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
Wotsɔ via, Azaria ɖo fiae ɖe eteƒe, esi Azaria xɔ ƒe wuiade ko.
22 He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after the king slept with his fathers.
Le fofoa ƒe ku megbe la, etu Elat eye wòxɔe na Yuda.
23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, and reigned forty-one years.
Azɔ la, Yeroboam Evelia zu Israel fia le Yuda fia Amazia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuiatɔ̃lia me. Yeroboam ɖu fia ƒe blaene-vɔ-ɖekɛ.
24 And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah. He did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
Enye fia vɔ̃ɖi aɖe le Yehowa ŋkume abe Yeroboam Gbãtɔ, Nebat ƒe vi, ame si kplɔ Israel de legbawo subɔsubɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃ me la ene.
25 He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, according to the word of Jehovah, the God of Israel, which he spoke by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath-hepher.
Yeroboam Evelia gbugbɔ Israel ƒe anyigba xɔ tso Lebo Hamat va se ɖe Araba ƒu la nu abe ale si Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe do ŋgɔ to Yona, Amitai ƒe vi, ame si nye Nyagblɔɖila tso Gat Hefer dzi la ene.
26 For Jehovah saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter, for there was none shut up nor left at large, neither was there any helper for Israel.
Nu sia va eme elabena Yehowa kpɔ xaxa gã si me Israel ɖo; kluviwo kple dzɔleaƒeawo siaa le fu kpem, evɔ xɔnametɔ aɖeke menɔ wo si o la dzi ɖa.
27 And Jehovah did not say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
Gawu la, Yehowa megblɔ be yeatutu Israel ƒe ŋkɔ ɖa le anyigba dzi o, eya ta wòto Fia Yeroboam Evelia, Yehoas ƒe vi la dzi ɖe Israel.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Woŋlɔ Fia Yeroboam Evelia ŋutinya, nu siwo katã wòwɔ, ŋusẽ gã si wòkpɔ, eƒe aʋawɔwɔwo kple ale si wògbugbɔ Damasko kple Hamat, du siwo Yuda xɔ le Israel si la, xɔ la ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel, and Zechariah his son reigned in his stead.
Esi Yeroboam Evelia ku la, woɖii ɖe Israel Fia bubuwo gbɔ eye via Zekaria zu Israel Fia yeye la.
