2 Chronicles 25
1 Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jehoaddan 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 that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, but not with a whole heart.
O mere ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị, ma o jighị obi ya niile mee nke a.
3 Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established unto him, that he slew his servants who had killed the king his father.
Mgbe alaeze guzosiri ike nʼokpuru ọchịchị ya, o gburu ndị ozi ahụ gburu eze, bụ nna ya.
4 But he put not their children to death, but did according to that which is written in the law in the book of Moses, as the LORD commanded, saying: 'The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the 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 Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and ordered them according to their fathers' houses, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, even all Judah and Benjamin; and he numbered them from twenty years old and upward, and found them three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go forth to war, that could handle 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 a hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for a hundred talents of silver.
O ji narị talenti ọlaọcha gota narị puku ndị agha site nʼala Izrel.
7 But there came a man of God to him, saying: 'O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD is not with Israel, even with 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 But if thou wilt go, and do engage never so valiantly in battle, God will cast thee down before the enemy; for God hath power to help, and to cast down.'
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 Amaziah said to the man of God: 'But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel?' And the man of God answered: 'The LORD is 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 Amaziah separated them, to wit, the army that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go back home; wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger.
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 Amaziah took courage, and led forth his people, and went to the Valley of Salt, and smote 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 did the children of Judah carry away alive, and brought them unto the top of the Rock, and cast them down from the top of the Rock, that they all were broken in 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 the men of the army whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Beth-horon, and smote of them three thousand, and took 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 Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and prostrated himself before them, and offered unto 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 anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and He sent unto him a prophet, who said unto him: 'Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which 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 it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him: 'Have we made thee of the king's counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten?' Then the prophet forbore, and said: 'I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto 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 Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying: 'Come, let us look one another in the face.'
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 And Joash 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 there passed by the wild beasts that were in Lebanon, 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 sayest — lo, thou hast smitten Edom; will thy heart therefore lift thee up to glory therein? abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle with evil, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah 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 But Amaziah would not hear; for it was of God, that He might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought after 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 Joash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
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 Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to his tent.
Ndị Izrel meriri ndị Juda, mee ka ha gbalaga, nwoke ọbụla nʼụlọ ya.
23 And Joash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, 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 were found in the house of God with Obed-edom, and the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned 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 Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz 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 Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah 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 Now from the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew 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 upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
Ha bulatara ozu ya nʼelu ịnyịnya, e lie ya nʼebe e liri nna nna ya ha nʼobodo Juda.
