2 Kings 14
1 In the second year of Joash, son of Joahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah, the son of Joash, became king of Judah.
Nʼafọ nke abụọ nke ịbụ eze Jehoash nwa Jehoahaz nʼIzrel, ka Amazaya nwa Joash eze Juda malitere ọchịchị ya.
2 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.
Amazaya gbara iri afọ abụọ na ise mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze. Ọ bụ eze na Jerusalem iri afọ abụọ na itoolu. Aha nne ya bụ Jehoadin, onye Jerusalem.
3 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.
O mere ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị, ma o meghị dịka nna nna ya bụ Devid mere. Nʼihe niile, ọ gbasoro nzọ ụkwụ nna ya Joash.
4 But still the high places were not taken away; the people went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.
Ọ wezugaghị ebe ịchụ aja niile dị nʼugwu. Ndị Juda gara nʼihu na-achụ aja na-esurekwa ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nʼelu ugwu ahụ niile.
5 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;
Mgbe alaeze ahụ siri ike nʼọchịchị ya, o gburu ndị ozi ahụ gburu eze, bụ nna ya.
6 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.
Ma o meghị ka ụmụ ndị ogbu mmadụ ahụ nwụọ, nʼusoro ihe e dere nʼakwụkwọ iwu Mosis, ebe Onyenwe anyị nyere iwu sị: “Agaghị eme ka ndị mụrụ ụmụ nwụọ nʼihi ihe ụmụ ha metara, maọbụ mee ka ụmụ nwụọ nʼihi ihe ndị mụrụ ha metara, onye ọbụla ga-anwụ nʼihi mmehie nke aka ya.”
7 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.
Amazaya bụ onye gburu puku ndị agha Edọm iri na Ndagwurugwu Nnu, dọtakwa obodo Sela nʼagha, gụgharịa ya Jekteel, nke bụ aha a na-akpọ ya ruo ụbọchị taa.
8 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.
Mgbe ahụ, Amazaya zigara ndị ozi ka ha jekwuru Jehoash nwa Jehoahaz nwa Jehu, eze Izrel, zie ya ozi ịma aka, sị, “Bịa, ka dimkpa na ibe ya zute ihu na ihu nʼagha.”
9 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.
Ma Jehoash eze Izrel zighachiri ozi nye Amazaya eze Juda sị ya, “Uke dị na Lebanọn zigaara osisi sida nke dị na Lebanọn ozi, sị ya, ‘Nye nwa m nwoke nwa gị nwanyị ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya.’ Mgbe ahụ, anụ ọhịa nke dị na Lebanọn gafetere ebe ahụ, zọpịa uke ahụ.
10 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?
I meriela Edọm, nʼezie. Ugbu a, mpako abatala. Ṅụrịa ọṅụ nʼihi mmeri nke i nwetara, ma nọdụ nʼụlọ gị. Nʼihi gịnị ka ị ga-eji kpaliere onwe gị nsogbu, si otu a wetara onwe gị na Juda ọdịda?”
11 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.
Ma otu ọ dị, Amazaya egeghị ntị. Ya mere, Jehoash bụ eze Izrel buliri agha, ya na Amazaya eze Juda zutere ihu na ihu nʼagha na Bet-Shemesh, dị nʼala Juda.
12 And Judah was overcome before Israel, so that they went in flight, every man to his tent.
Ndị Izrel meriri ndị Juda, mee ka ha gbalaga, nwoke ọbụla nʼụlọ ya.
13 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.
Jehoash bụ eze Izrel nwudere Amazaya bụ eze Juda, nwa Joash, nwa Ahazaya na Bet-Shemesh. Mgbe ahụ, Jehoash gara Jerusalem kwada mgbidi Jerusalem, site nʼỌnụ ụzọ ama Ifrem ruo nʼọnụ ụzọ ama Nkuku, nke ogologo ya ruru narị nzọ ụkwụ isii.
14 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.
Ọ chịkọrọ ọlaedo na ọlaọcha niile na ngwongwo niile ahụtara nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, na nke dị nʼụlọakụ nke ụlọeze. Ọ dọtara ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ nʼagha, kpọrọ laghachi na Sameria.
15 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?
Ihe banyere akụkọ ndị ọzọ gbasara ọchịchị Jehoash, na ihe o mere, na ihe ọ rụpụtara, tinyere agha ọ lụrụ megide Amazaya eze Juda, ọ bụ na-edeghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe ndị eze Izrel mere nʼoge ha?
16 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.
Jehoash sooro nna nna ya ha dinaa nʼọnwụ, e lie ya na Sameria, ebe e liri eze ndị Izrel ndị ọzọ. Jeroboam nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
17 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.
Amazaya nwa Joash, eze Juda nọrọ ndụ afọ iri na ise, mgbe Jehoash nwa Jehoahaz, eze Izrel nwụsịrị.
18 And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Amazaya, ọ bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe mere nʼoge ndị eze Juda?
19 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.
Ha gbara izuzu imegide ya nʼime Jerusalem, ọ gbapụrụ gbalaga Lakish. Ma ha zipụrụ ndị ikom chụụrụ ya gaa Lakish, gbuo ya nʼebe ahụ.
20 And they took his body on horseback and put it into the earth with his fathers in Jerusalem, the town of David.
Ha bulatara ozu ya nʼelu ịnyịnya, e lie ya na Jerusalem nʼebe e liri ndị nna nna ya ha, nʼobodo Devid.
21 Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị Juda niile duuru Azaraya onye aha ya bụkwa Uzaya, onye gbara afọ iri na isii, mee ya eze nʼọnọdụ nna ya Amazaya.
22 He was the builder of Elath, which he got back for Judah after the death of the king.
Ọ bụ ya wugharịrị obodo Elat, nyeghachi ya Juda, mgbe Amazaya eze sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ.
23 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.
Nʼafọ nke iri na ise nke Amazaya nwa Joash, eze Juda, Jeroboam nwa Jehoash eze Izrel ghọrọ eze na Sameria. Ọ chịrị iri afọ anọ na otu dịka eze.
24 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.
Ma o mere ihe ọjọọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị nʼihi na o wezugaghị onwe ya site na mmehie Jeroboam nwa Nebat, onye ahụ dubara ndị Izrel na mmehie.
25 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.
Ọ bụ ya weghachitara oke ala Izrel site na Lebo Hamat ruo nʼosimiri Araba, dịka okwu Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nke Izrel si dị, nke o kwuru site nʼọnụ Jona nwa Amitai, onye amụma si Gat Hefa.
26 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.
Onyenwe anyị hụrụ ọnọdụ ọjọọ nke ndị Izrel nọ nʼime ya; onye ọbụla nʼime ha, ohu na onye nwe onwe ya, nọ nʼoke ahụhụ. Ọ dịkwaghị onye inyeaka ọbụla ha nwere.
27 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.
Ma ọ bụghị uche Onyenwe anyị ịla Izrel nʼiyi kpamkpam nʼokpuru eluigwe, nʼihi ya ka o mere ka Jeroboam nwa Jehoash napụta ha site nʼaka ndị iro ha.
28 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?
Akụkọ niile gbasara ihe niile Jeroboam mere, na ike ya niile, na agha niile o buru, na otu o si nwetaghachiri ndị Izrel obodo Damaskọs na Hamat, bụ obodo ndị Juda, ọ bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe ndị eze Izrel mere nʼụbọchị ndụ ha?
29 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.
Jeroboam sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼebe e liri ndị eze Izrel nwụrụ anwụ. Ma Zekaraya nwa ya ghọrọ eze Izrel nʼọnọdụ ya.
