2 Chronicles 25
1 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.
Amazia aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ kũu Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na kenda, nake nyina eetagwo Jehoadini na oimĩte Jerusalemu.
2 And he did what was good in the sight of the Lord: but yet not with a perfect heart.
Nĩekire maũndũ marĩa moonagwo magĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, no ndaamekire na ngoro yake yothe.
3 And when he saw himself strengthened in his kingdom, he put to death the servants that had slain the king his father.
Thuutha wa ũthamaki kũrũma wega wathani-inĩ wake, akĩũraga anene arĩa mooragĩte ithe Joashu ũrĩa warĩ mũthamaki.
4 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.
No rĩrĩ, ndaigana kũũraga ariũ ao, no eekire kũringana na ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo Ibuku-inĩ rĩa Watho wa Musa, harĩa Jehova aathanĩte atĩrĩ: “Maithe ma ciana matikooragwo nĩ ũndũ wa ciana, o na kana ciana ciũragwo nĩ ũndũ wa maithe mao; o mũndũ arĩkuaga nĩ ũndũ wa mehia make we mwene.”
5 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.
Amazia agĩĩta andũ a Juda hamwe, na akĩmaiga maroragwo nĩ anene a ikundi cia andũ ngiri ngiri na anene a ikundi cia andũ igana, igana kũringana na nyũmba ciao cia andũ othe a Juda na Benjamini. Agĩcooka agĩĩta andũ othe arĩa maarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na makĩria na akĩona atĩ kwarĩ na andũ 300,000 arĩa mangĩathiire mbaara-inĩ, andũ mangĩahotire kuoya itimũ na ngo.
6 He hired also of Israel a hundred thousand valiant men, for a hundred talents of silver.
O na ningĩ agĩkombora andũ a kũrũa 100,000 kuuma Isiraeli na thogora wa taranda igana rĩmwe cia betha.
7 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:
No rĩrĩ, mũndũ wa Ngai agĩũka kũrĩ we, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee mũthamaki-rĩ, thigari ici cia kuuma Isiraeli itigatwarane nawe, nĩgũkorwo Jehova ndarĩ hamwe na Isiraeli, na ndarĩ hamwe na andũ o na arĩkũ a Efiraimu.
8 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.
O na ũngĩthiĩ ũrũe na ũcamba mbaara-inĩ, Ngai no arĩtũma ũhootwo nĩ thũ, nĩgũkorwo Ngai arĩ na ũhoti wa gũgũteithia kana wa gũtũma ũhootwo.”
9 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.
Amazia akĩũria mũndũ wa Ngai atĩrĩ, “Tũgwĩka atĩa nĩ ũndũ wa taranda iria 100 ndarĩhire nĩ ũndũ wa thigari icio cia Isiraeli?” Nake mũndũ wa Ngai agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Jehova no akũhe ingĩ nyingĩ gũkĩra icio.”
10 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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Amazia akĩrekereria thigari icio ciokĩte kũrĩ we kuuma Efiraimu, agĩciĩra ciinũke. Nacio ikĩrakarĩra andũ a Juda mũno, na ikĩinũka irĩ na marakara maingĩ.
11 And Amasias taking courage led forth his people, and went to the vale of saltpits, and slew of the children of Seir ten thousand.
Amazia agĩcooka akĩbanga thigari ciake, agĩcitongoria na mwena wa Gĩtuamba gĩa Cumbĩ, kũrĩa ooragire andũ 10,000 a Seiru.
12 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.
Mbũtũ ya ita ya Juda ĩkĩnyiita andũ 10,000 marĩ muoyo, na ĩkĩmatwara handũ igũrũ wa rwaro rwa ihiga, ĩkĩmaikia thĩ magĩthuthĩkanga.
13 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.
Hĩndĩ o ĩyo, thigari iria Amazia aacookithĩtie akĩgiria ikarũe-rĩ, igĩtharĩkĩra matũũra ma Juda kuuma Samaria nginya Bethi-Horoni. Nacio ikĩũraga andũ 3,000 na igĩtaha indo nyingĩ mũno.
14 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.
Rĩrĩa Amazia aacookire oimĩte kũũraga andũ a Edomu-rĩ, nĩainũkire na ngai cia andũ a Seiru. Agĩcirũgamia ta ngai ciake mwene, agĩciinamĩrĩra na agĩcirutĩra magongona ma njino.
15 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?
Marakara ma Jehova magĩakanĩra Amazia, na akĩmũtũmĩra mũnabii, ũrĩa wamũũririe atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma ũhooe kĩrĩra kũrĩ ngai cia andũ acio, o iria itaangĩahotire kũhonokia andũ acio kuuma moko-inĩ maku?”
16 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.
O akĩaragia-rĩ, mũthamaki akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũgũtuĩte mũtaari wa mũthamaki? Kira! Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma wende kwĩyũragithia?” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũnabii ũcio agĩkira, no akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjũũĩ atĩ Ngai nĩatuĩte itua gũkwananga, nĩ ũndũ nĩwĩkĩte ũndũ ũcio, na nĩwarega kũigua kĩrĩra gĩakwa.”
17 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.
Thuutha wa Amazia mũthamaki wa Juda kũhooya kĩrĩra kuuma kũrĩ ataari ake-rĩ, agĩtũma ndũmĩrĩri ĩno ya njũgitano kũrĩ Jehoashu mũrũ wa Jehoahazu, mũrũ wa Jehu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Ũka, tũcemanie, tuonane ũthiũ kwa ũthiũ.”
18 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.
No Jehoashu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩcookeria Amazia mũthamaki wa Juda atĩrĩ, “Mahiũ ma nyeki-inĩ ma kũu Lebanoni nĩmatũmĩire mũtarakwa ndũmĩrĩri o kũu Lebanoni makĩwĩra atĩrĩ: ‘Heana mwarĩguo ahikio nĩ mũriũ wakwa.’ Hĩndĩ ĩyo nyamũ ya gĩthaka ya kũu Lebanoni ĩgĩũka ĩkĩrangĩrĩria mahiũ macio ma nyeki-inĩ na makinya mayo.
19 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.
Wĩĩrĩte na ngoro atĩ nĩũrĩkĩtie gũtooria Edomu, na rĩu ũkeeyona na ũgetĩĩa. No ikara mũciĩ! Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma wĩrehere thĩĩna na wĩniinithie wee mwene o hamwe na andũ a Juda?”
20 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.
O na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, Amazia ndaigana gũthikĩrĩria, nĩgũkorwo nĩ Ngai warutaga wĩra nĩguo amaneane moko-inĩ ma Jehoashu, tondũ andũ a Juda nĩmarongoragia ngai cia Edomu.
21 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:
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehoashu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩmatharĩkĩra. We na Amazia mũthamaki wa Juda makĩngʼethanĩra kũu Bethi-Shemeshu thĩinĩ wa Juda.
22 And Juda fell before Israel and they fled to their dwellings.
Andũ a Juda makĩhũũrwo nĩ andũ a Isiraeli, na o mũndũ akĩũrĩra gwake mũciĩ.
23 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.
Nake Jehoashu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩnyiita Amazia mũthamaki wa Juda, mũrũ wa Joashu, mũrũ wa Ahazia, o kũu Bethi-Shemeshu. Ningĩ Jehoashu akĩmũrehe Jerusalemu, na akĩmomora rũthingo rwa Jerusalemu kuuma Kĩhingo kĩa Efiraimu nginya Kĩhingo gĩa Koine, handũ ha buti ta 600 kũraiha.
24 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.
Nake akĩoya thahabu yothe na betha, na indo ciothe iria ciarĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Ngai iria ciamenyagĩrĩrwo nĩ Obedi-Edomu, hamwe na igĩĩna cia nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na andũ arĩa maatahĩtwo, nake agĩcooka Samaria.
25 And Amasias the son of Joas king of Juda lived, after the death of Joas the son of Joachaz king of Israel, fifteen years.
Amazia mũrũ wa Joashu mũthamaki wa Juda aatũũrire muoyo mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtano thuutha wa gĩkuũ kĩa Jehoashu mũrũ wa Jehoahazu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Amasias, the first and last, are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ ma wathani wa Amazia kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya mũthia-rĩ, githĩ ti maandĩke ibuku-inĩ rĩa athamaki a Juda na Isiraeli?
27 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.
Kuuma hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Amazia aagarũrũkire agĩtiga kũrũmĩrĩra Jehova-rĩ, makĩmũciirĩrĩra mamũũkĩrĩre kũu Jerusalemu, nake akĩũrĩra Lakishi, no magĩtũma andũ mamũrũmĩrĩre o nginya Lakishi, makĩmũũragĩra kuo.
28 And they brought him back upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of David.
Agĩcookio aigĩrĩirwo mbarathi igũrũ, na agĩthikwo hamwe na maithe Itũũra-inĩ Inene rĩa Juda.
