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.
Amazaya gbara iri afọ abụọ na ise mgbe e mere ya eze, ọ chịrị dịka eze iri afọ abụọ na itoolu na Jerusalem. Nne ya bụ Jehoadin onye Jerusalem.
2 And he did what was good in the sight of the Lord: but yet not with a perfect heart.
O mere ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị, ma o jighị obi ya niile mee nke a.
3 And when he saw himself strengthened in his kingdom, he put to death the servants that had slain the king his father.
Mgbe alaeze guzosiri ike nʼokpuru ọchịchị ya, o gburu ndị ozi ahụ gburu eze, bụ nna ya.
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.
Ma o meghị ka ụmụ ha nwụọ, kama ọ gbasoro usoro ihe e dere nʼakwụkwọ iwu Mosis, ebe Onyenwe anyị nyere iwu sị: “Ndị mụrụ ụmụ agaghị anwụ 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.”
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.
Amazaya kpọkọtara ndị Juda, guzo ha dịka ezinaụlọ ha si dị, kenye ha nʼokpuru ndị ọchịagha na-achị ọtụtụ puku ndị agha, na ndị na-achị ọtụtụ narị ndị agha, bụ ndị Juda na ndị Benjamin niile. Mgbe ọ gụrụ ndị dị afọ iri abụọ maọbụ karịa ọnụ, ọ chọpụtara na ha dị narị puku ndị ikom atọ ndị tozuru iji ùbe na ọta buo agha.
6 He hired also of Israel a hundred thousand valiant men, for a hundred talents of silver.
O ji narị talenti ọlaọcha gota narị puku ndị agha site nʼala Izrel.
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:
Ma otu onye nke Chineke bịakwutere ya, sị ya; “Eze, ka ndị agha a si Izrel ghara isonyere gị, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị anọnyereghị ndị Izrel, ọ nọnyereghị onye ọbụla sitere nʼIfrem.
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.
A sịkwarị na i jiri obi dimkpa ga agha a, Chineke ga-eme ka ndị iro gị merie gị, nʼihi na Chineke bụ onye nwere ike inyere mmadụ aka maọbụ ime ka ọ sụọ ngọngọ.”
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.
Amazaya sịrị onye nke Chineke ahụ, “Gịnị kwanụ ka anyị ga-eme banyere narị ego talenti m kwụrụ maka ndị agha Izrel?” Onye nke Chineke ahụ zara, “Onyenwe anyị pụrụ inye gị karịa nke ahụ.”
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.
Amazaya zighachiri ndị agha Izrel ahụ azụ ka ha laa, bụ ndị a si nʼIfrem bịakwute ya. Ha were iwe nke ukwuu megide Juda, jirikwa oke iwe laghachi nʼụlọ ha.
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.
Amazaya duuru ndị agha ya gaa na Ndagwurugwu Nnu, ebe o gburu ndị ikom Sia dị puku iri.
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.
Ndị agha Juda nwudoro puku ndị ikom iri ọzọ na ndụ, duru ha gaa nʼelu nkume dị elu, si nʼebe ahụ tụda ha niile, nke mere na ha niile kụpịasịrị.
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.
Ma ndị agha ahụ Amazaya zilagara, ka ha ghara iso ya gaa agha, wakporo ọtụtụ obodo ndị Juda site na Sameria ruo Bet-Horon. Ha gburu puku mmadụ atọ nʼime ha, bukọrọkwa ọtụtụ ihe nkwata nʼagha, buru ha laa.
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.
Mgbe Amazaya sitere nʼagha ebe o gburu ọtụtụ ndị Edọm lọta, o bulatara chi nke ndị Sia. O guzobere ha dịka chi ndị nke aka ya, kpọọ isiala nye ha ma surekwa aja nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nye ha.
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?
Iwe Onyenwe anyị dị ukwuu megide Amazaya. O zigaara ya onye amụma, onye sịrị, “Nʼihi gịnị ka iji ajụ ase site nʼaka chi nke ndị ahụ, bụ ndị na-enweghị ike ịzọpụta ndị ha site nʼaka gị?”
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.
Mgbe ọ ka kpụ okwu nʼọnụ ya, eze sịrị ya; “Mechie ọnụ! Ị chọrọ ịnwụ? Ole mgbe ka anyị mere gị onye na-adụ eze ọdụ?” Ya mere, onye amụma ahụ kwụsịrị, ma sị, “Amaara m na Chineke ekpebiela ịla gị nʼiyi, nʼihi na i mere nke a ma jụkwa ige ntị na ndụmọdụ m.”
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.
Emesịa, mgbe Amazaya, eze Juda gbachara izu ya na ndị ndụmọdụ ya, o zigara Jehoash nwa Jehoahaz, nwa Jehu, eze Izrel ozi ịma aka, sị, “Bịa ka dimkpa na ibe ya zute ihu na ihu nʼagha.”
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.
Ma Jehoash eze Izrel, zighachiri ozi nye Amazaya eze Juda, sị; “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.
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.
Ị na-asị onwe gị, na i meriela Edọm, ugbu a, mpako abatala, isi a na-ebu gị. Ma nọdụ nʼụlọ gị. Nʼihi gịnị ka ị ga-eji kpaliere onwe gị nsogbu, si otu a wetara onwe gị na Juda ọdịda?”
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.
Ma Amazaya egeghị ntị, nʼihi na Chineke na-akwado inyefe ya nʼaka Jehoash onye iro ha, nʼihi na ha chọrọ chi ndị Edọm gawa.
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:
Ya mere, Jehoash bụ eze Izrel buliri agha. Ya na Amazaya eze Juda zutere ihu na ihu nʼagha na Bet-Shemesh, dị nʼala Juda.
22 And Juda fell before Israel and they fled to their dwellings.
Ndị Izrel meriri ndị Juda, mee ka ha gbalaga, nwoke ọbụla nʼụlọ ya.
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.
Jehoash, bụ eze Izrel nwudere Amazaya eze Juda, nwa Joash, nwa Ahazaya na Bet-Shemesh. Mgbe ahụ, Jehoash duuru ya bịa na Jerusalem, kwada mgbidi Jerusalem, site nʼỌnụ ụzọ ama Ifrem ruo nʼọnụ ụzọ ama Nkuku, nke ogologo ya ruru narị nzọ ụkwụ isii.
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.
Ọ chịkọrọ ọlaedo na ọlaọcha niile na ngwongwo niile ahụtara nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke, nke e tinyere nʼaka Obed-Edọm ilekọta, tinyekwara akụ niile dị nʼụlọeze. Ọ dọọrọ ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ nʼagha, kpọrọ laghachi na Sameria.
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.
Amazaya nwa Joash, eze Juda nọrọ ndụ afọ iri na ise, mgbe Jehoash nwa Jehoahaz, eze Izrel nwụsịrị.
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.
Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Amazaya, site na mmalite ruo ọgwụgwụ, ọ bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ndị eze Juda na Izrel?
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.
Site nʼoge Amazaya gbakụtara Onyenwe anyị azụ, ha gbara izuzu imegide ya nʼime Jerusalem. Ọ gbapụrụ gbalaga Lakish, ma ha zipụrụ ndị ikom chụụrụ ya gaa Lakish, gbuo ya nʼebe ahụ.
28 And they brought him back upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of David.
Ha bulatara ozu ya nʼelu ịnyịnya, e lie ya nʼebe e liri nna nna ya ha nʼobodo Juda.
