2 Chronicles 25
1 Twenty-five years old, was Amaziah, when he began to reign, and, twenty-nine years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Jehoaddan, 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 that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, —only not with a whole heart.
Nĩekire maũndũ marĩa moonagwo magĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, no ndaamekire na ngoro yake yothe.
3 And it came to pass, when the kingdom was confirmed unto him, that he slew his servants who had smitten the king his father;
Thuutha wa ũthamaki kũrũma wega wathani-inĩ wake, akĩũraga anene arĩa mooragĩte ithe Joashu ũrĩa warĩ mũthamaki.
4 but, their sons, he put not to death, —but as it is written in the law—in the book of Moses—how that Yahweh commanded, saying-Fathers, shall not die for, sons, and Sons, shall not die, for, fathers, but Each man, for his own sin, shall die.
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 And Amaziah gathered Judah together, and appointed them by their ancestral houses, as rulers of thousands and as rulers of hundreds, for all Judah and Benjamin, —and he numbered them, from twenty years old and upwards, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able to go forth to war, who could grasp 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 And he hired out of Israel, a hundred thousand heroes of valour, 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 unto him, saying, O king! let not the host of Israel come with thee, —for Yahweh is not with Israel, [with] any of the sons 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 But, if thou art going, do, be strong for the battle, —God will cause thee to fall before the enemy, for there is strength in God, to help or to cause to fall.
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 Amaziah said unto the man of God, What then shall be done as to the hundred talents, which I have given to the company of Israel? Then said the man of God, Yahweh is 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 So Amaziah separated them, [appointing] unto the company which had come unto him out of Ephraim, to depart unto their own place, —wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, so they returned to their own place, in a heat of anger.
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, Amaziah, took courage, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, —and smote of the sons 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 the sons of Judah took captive, ten thousand alive, and brought to the top of the crag, —and cast them down from the top of the crag, and, all of them, were torn asunder.
Mbũtũ ya ita ya Juda ĩkĩnyiita andũ 10,000 marĩ muoyo, na ĩkĩmatwara handũ igũrũ wa rwaro rwa ihiga, ĩkĩmaikia thĩ magĩthuthĩkanga.
13 But, as for the sons of the company which Amaziah sent back from going with him to the war, they spread themselves out against the cities of Judah, from Samaria, even unto Beth-horon, —and smote of them three thousand, and took great plunder.
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 And so it was, after Amaziah came in from smiting the Edomites, that he brought in the gods of the sons of Seir, and set them up for himself, as gods, —and, before them, used he to bow himself down, and, unto them, used he to burn a perfume.
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 Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh, against Amaziah, —and he sent unto him a prophet, and said unto him, Wherefore hast thou sought the gods of the people, which delivered not 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 it came to pass, as he spake unto him, that he said to him, To be, counselor to the king, have we appointed thee? forbear thou, wherefore should they smite thee? So the prophet forbare, and said—I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto 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 Amaziah king of Judah took counsel, and sent unto Joash, son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu king of Israel, saying, —Come, let us look one another in the face!
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 And Joash king of Israel sent unto Amaziah king of Judah, saying, A thistle that was in Lebanon, sent unto a cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Come! give thy daughter unto my son to wife, —but there passed by a beast of the field that was in Lebanon, and trampled 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-Lo! thou hast smitten the Edomites, and thy heart hath lifted thee up to display honour, -Now, abide in thine own house, wherefore shouldst thou engage in strife with Misfortune, and fall, thou and Judah 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 But Amaziah hearkened not, because, from God, it was, to the end he might deliver them up into [their enemies’] hand, —because they had sought 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 Joash king of Israel came up, and they looked one another in the face, he, and Amaziah king of Judah, —in Beth-shemesh, which belongeth unto Judah.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehoashu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩmatharĩkĩra. We na Amazia mũthamaki wa Juda makĩngʼethanĩra kũu Bethi-Shemeshu thĩinĩ wa Juda.
22 Then was Judah defeated, before Israel, —and they fled every man to his own home;
Andũ a Juda makĩhũũrwo nĩ andũ a Isiraeli, na o mũndũ akĩũrĩra gwake mũciĩ.
23 and, Amaziah king of Judah, son of Joash son of Jehoahaz, was taken by Joash king of Israel, in Beth-shemesh, —and he brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, from the gate of Ephraim as far as the corner-gate, 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, all the gold and the silver and all the utensils that were found in the house of God with Obed-edom, and the treasures of the house of the king, and hostages, he took, -and returned 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 Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived, after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz 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 story of Amaziah, first and last, lo! it is written in the book of the Kings of Judah 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 the time that Amaziah turned away from following Yahweh, they made against him a conspiracy in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish, —but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew 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 on horses, -and buried him with his fathers, in the city of Judah.
Agĩcookio aigĩrĩirwo mbarathi igũrũ, na agĩthikwo hamwe na maithe Itũũra-inĩ Inene rĩa Juda.
