< 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.
Roapolo taoñe lim’ amby t’i Amatsià te niorotse nifehe, le nifehe roapolo taoñe sive amby e Ierosalaime ao. Iehoadane nte-Ierosalaime ty tahinan-drene’e.
2 And he did what was good in the sight of the Lord: but yet not with a perfect heart.
Nanao soa am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà eo re, fe tsy an-kaampon’ arofo.
3 And when he saw himself strengthened in his kingdom, he put to death the servants that had slain the king his father.
Aa, ie vata’e nifejañe i fifehea’ey, le vinono’e i mpitoroñe nañoho-doza aman-drae’e rey,
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.
fe tsy vinono’e o ana’eo ie nanao ze sinokitse amy Hake, amy boke’ i Mosey, amy lili’ Iehovà ty hoe: Tsy havetrake ty amo ana’eo o roae’eo vaho tsy havetrake ty aman-droae’e o ana’eo, fa songa hivetrake ty amo hakeo’eo.
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.
Mbore natonto’ i Ama­tsià t’Iehoda naho nanoe’e mpifelek’ arivo naho mpifele-jato ty aman’ anjomban-droae’e, le nitsitsife’e t’Iehodà naho i Beniamine namolily o roapolo taoñe mañamboneo, nitendreke te telo hetse t’indaty nilefe, nahafionjoñe mb’añ’aly naho nahatan-defoñe vaho fikalañe.
6 He hired also of Israel a hundred thousand valiant men, for a hundred talents of silver.
Nikarama’e ka ty fanalolahy mahasibeke rai-hetse boake Israele ao ami’ty talenta volafoty zato.
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:
Fe niheo ama’e mb’eo ty ondatin’ Añahare nanao ty hoe: Ry mpanjaka, ko ampindrezeñe ama’o i firimboña’ Israeley, ie tsy am’ Israele t’Iehovà vaho tsy mpiaman-dra iaia amo ana’ i Efraimeo.
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.
Aa naho mb’eo irehe, le ano! mihafatrara an-kotakotake tsy mone hampitsingoritrien’ Añahare aolo’ o rafelahi’oo; fa aman’ Añahare ty haozarañe, ke hañolotse he handrotsake.
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.
Le hoe t’i Amatsià am’indatin’ Añaharey. Aa vaho atao’ay akore i talenta zato natoloko amy firimboña’ Israeley? Le hoe ty natoi’ indatin’ Añaharey, Mahafanolotse maro mandikoatse izay t’Iehovà.
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.
Aa le nampolie’ i Amatsià o lahindefoñe nimb’ ama’e boak’ Efraimeo; fe nisolebotse am’ Iehodà ty haboseha’ iareo vaho nimpoly am-piforoforoañe.
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.
Aa le nihafatrarem-batañe t’i Ama­tsià, le niaoloa’e ondati’eo naho nimb’am-bava­tanen-tsira mb’eo vaho zinama’e ty rai-ale amo ana’ i Seireo.
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.
Tsinepa’ o ana’ Iehodao ka ty rai-ale veloñe, le nasese’ iereo mb’ ambone teva, le nahereretsa’ iareo boak’ ambone’ i herakerakey vaho nifoifoy.
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.
Nivolose’ i firimboñan-dahindefoñe nampolie’ i Amatsià tsy hionjoñe mb’an-kotakotakey o rova’ Iehodà boake Somerone pake Betekoroneo naho nanjamañe ty telo arivo am’ iereo vaho nampikopake vara maro.
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.
Ie nimpoly amy nanjamana’e o nte-Edomeoy t’i Amatsià, le nendese’e o ndrahare’ o ana’ i Seireo le natroa’e ho ‘ndrahare’e vaho nibokobokoa’e naho nañoroa’e emboke.
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?
Aa le nisolebotse amy Amatsià ty haviñera’ Iehovà, le nañiraha’e mpitoky nanao ty hoe, Ino ty nipaia’o o ndrahare’ ondaty tsy naharombake ondati’eo am-pità’oo?
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.
Ie nisaontsia’e i entañe zay le hoe re tama’e: Tinendre ho mpanolo-kevem-panjaka v’iheo? Mifoneña; akore te ihe ho lafaeñe? le nijihetse i mpitokiy vaho nanao ty hoe: Apotako te sinafirin’ Añahare ty handrotsake azo, amy te nanoe’o o raha zao vaho tsy hinao’o i natorokoy.
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.
Nandrambe hevetse amy zao t’i Amatsià, mpanjaka’ Iehoda vaho nam­pañitrike mb’am’ Ioase, ana’ Iehoahaze, ana’ Ieho, mpanjaka’ Israele ty hoe: Mb’ etoan-drehe hifañatrefan-tika laharañe.
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.
Le nampisangitrife’ Ioase mpanjaka’ Israele amy Amatsià mpanjaka’ Iehoda ty hoe: Nahitri’ ty hisatse e Libanone añe amy mendoraveñe e Libanoney ty hoe: Atoloro amy ana-dahikoy i anak’ am­pela’oy ho vali’e. Fe niary eo o bibi-li’ i Libanoneo nandialia i hisa­tsey.
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.
Manao ty hoe irehe, te, Ingo, fa linafako t’i Edome; aa le mitoabotse añ’ arofo ao irehe, mibohaboha; fe imoneño ty akiba’o; ino ty hikaiha’o ty joy, hikorovoke, ihe naho Iehoda mindre ama’oy?
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.
Fe tsy hinao’ i Amatsià, fa boak’ aman’ Añahare i rahay, hanolora’e am-pitàn-drafelahi’ iareo, ie nipay o ‘ndrahare’ Edomeo.
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:
Aa le nionjo mb’eo t’Ioase mpanjaka’ Israele; le nifañisa-daharañe, ie naho i Ama­tsià mpanjaka’ Iehoda, e Bete­semese’ Iehoda eo.
22 And Juda fell before Israel and they fled to their dwellings.
Le nikorovok’ añatrefa’ Israele eo t’Iehoda vaho nitriban-day, songa mb’ an-kiboho’e mb’eo;
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.
naho rinambe’ Ioase, mpanjaka’ Israele t’i Amatsià mpanjaka’ Iehoda, ana’ Ioase, ana’ Iehoakase, e Betesemese ao naho nendese’e mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo vaho narotsa’e ty kijoli’ Ierosalaime boak’ an-dalam-bei’ i Efraime ey, pak’an-dalam-bein-kotsok’eo, kiho efa-jato.
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.
Le tinava’e iaby o volamena naho volafoty naho o fanake nizoeñe añ’ anjomban’ Añahare amy Ovede-edome naho am-panontonam-bara’ i anjombam-panjakaio naho ninday ondaty an-drohy vaho nimpoly mb’e Somerone mb’eo.
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.
Mbe niveloñe folo-taoñe lim’ amby tamy fivetraha’ Ioase ana’ Iehoakaze, mpanjaka’ Israeley t’i Amatsià, ana’ Ioase, mpanjaka’ Iehoda.
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.
Aa naho o fitoloña’ i Amatsià boak’ am-baloha’e pak’ am-para’eo, tsy fa sinokitse amy bokem-panjaka’ Iehoda naho Israeley hao?
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.
Le nikinia aze o e Ierosalaimeo ty amy nitoliha’ i Amatsià tsy hañorike Iehovày, ie nipitsike mb’e Lakise mb’eo, fe nañirahañe e Lakise añe vaho vinono ao.
28 And they brought him back upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of David.
Nendeseñe an-tsoavala vaho naleveñe aman-droae’e an-drova’ Iehoda ao.
