2 Chronicles 25
1 When twenty and five years old did Amazyahu become king, and twenty and nine years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yeho'addan 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 is right in the eyes of the Lord, yet not with an entire heart.
O mere ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị, ma o jighị obi ya niile mee nke a.
3 And it came to pass, when the kingdom was firmly established to him, that he slew his servants that 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 their children he put not to death; but [did] as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, that the Lord had commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, nor 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 And Amazyahu gathered Judah together, and stationed them after the family divisions, after the captains over the thousands, and after the captains over the hundreds, of all Judah and Benjamin; and he numbered them from twenty years old and upward, and found them [to be] three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go forth to the army, 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 out of Israel one hundred thousand mighty men of valor for one hundred talents of silver.
O ji narị talenti ọlaọcha gota narị puku ndị agha site nʼala Izrel.
7 But a man of God came unto him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the Lord is not with Israel, [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 be ever so] active [and] strong for the battle: God will cause thee to stumble before the enemy; for there is power with God to help, and to cause to stumble.
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 Then said Amazyahu to the man of God, But what is it to be done for the hundred talents which I have given to the band of Israel? And the man of God said, The Lord hath [enough in his power] 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 did Amazyahu separate them, [to wit, ] the band that was come to him out of Ephraim, that they might go to their place: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned to their home in burning 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 Amazyahu strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the Valley of Salt, and smote of the children of Se'ir ten thousand [men].
Amazaya duuru ndị agha ya gaa na Ndagwurugwu Nnu, ebe o gburu ndị ikom Sia dị puku iri.
12 And ten thousand did the children of Judah take captive alive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were crushed.
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 band whom Amazyahu had sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, spread themselves about in the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Beth-choron, and smote of them three thousand [persons], and plundered 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 And it came to pass, after Amazyahu was come home from smiting the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Se'ir, and set them up unto himself as gods, and before them he used to prostrate himself and unto them he used to burn incense.
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 Amazyahu, and he sent unto him a prophet, who said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, 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 it came to pass, as he was speaking unto him, that he said unto him, Have we ever appointed thee as a counsellor to the king? forbear this: why shouldst thou be smitten? Then did the prophet forbear; and he said, I know that God hath resolved 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 held Amazyahu the king of Judah a council, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoachaz, the son of Jehu, the 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 the king of Israel sent to Amazyahu the king of Judah, saying, The thorn-bush that was in the Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in the Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son for wife. And there passed along the wild beasts that were in the Lebanon, and trod down the thorn-bush.
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 thought, Lo, thou hast smitten Edom; and thy heart hath lifted thee up to acquire much glory: now stay in thy house; why wilt thou meddle with misfortune, that thou mayest fall, 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 Amazyahu would not hear; for it was [ordained] by God, in order to deliver them into the hand [of Joash]; 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 Thereupon did Joash the king of Israel go up: and they looked one another in the face, he and Amazyahu the king of Judah, 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 defeated before Israel, and they fled every man to his tents.
Ndị Izrel meriri ndị Juda, mee ka ha gbalaga, nwoke ọbụla nʼụlọ ya.
23 And Joash the king of Israel caught Amazyahu the king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoachaz, at Beth-shemesh; and he brought him to Jerusalem, and made a breach in 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 [taking] all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with 'Obed-edom, and the treasures of the king's house, and the children of the chiefs as hostages, he 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 Amazyahu the son of Joash the king of Judah lived after the death of Joash the son of Jehoachaz the king of Israel fifteen years.
Amazaya nwa Joash, eze Juda nọrọ ndụ afọ iri na ise, mgbe Jehoash nwa Jehoahaz, eze Izrel nwụsịrị.
26 And the rest of the acts of Amazyahu the first and the last, behold, they are fully 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 Amazyahu departed from following the Lord, they raised a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem: wherefore 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 carried him on 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.
