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.
E rua tekau ma rima nga tau o Amatia i tona kingitanga, a e rua tekau ma iwa nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama: a ko te ingoa hoki o tona whaea, ko Iehoarana, no Hiruharama.
2 And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, —only not with a whole heart.
Na he tika tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, engari kihai i tapatahi te ngakau
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;
A, ka pumau tona kingitanga, katahi ka whakamatea e ia ana tangata, nana nei i patu tona papa, te kingi.
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.
Ko a raua tama ia kihai i whakamatea; engari i rite tana ki te mea i tuhituhia i te ture i te pukapuka a Mohi, ki ta Ihowa i whakahau ra, Kaua nga matua e mate mo to nga tamariki; kaua hoki nga tamariki e mate mo to nga matua; engari me mate tene i mo tona hara, tenei mo tona hara.
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.
Na i huihuia hoki e Amatia a Hura, a whakaritea ana he rangatira mano, he rangatira rau mo nga whare o o ratou matua, puta noa i a Hura katoa raua ko Pineamine. A taua ana ratou e ia, te hunga e rua tekau, he maha ake hoki, nga tau, a ka kitea e toru rau mano, whiriwhiri rawa, he hunga haere ki te whawhai, he hunga hapai i te tao, i te whakangungu rakau.
6 And he hired out of Israel, a hundred thousand heroes of valour, for a hundred talents of silver.
I utua ano hoki e ia etahi o Iharaira, kotahi rau mano, he marohirohi, he maia, kotahi rau taranata hiriwa.
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.
Na, ko te taenga mai o tetahi tangata a te Atua ki a ia, ka mea E te kingi, kaua te taua a Iharaira e haere tahi koutou, no te mea kahore a Ihowa i a Iharaira, ara i nga tama katoa a Eparaima.
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.
Otiia ki te haere koe, kia toa, kia kaha ki te whawhai; ma Ihowa ano koe e turaki i te aroaro o te hoariri; he kaha hoki to te Atua ki te awhina, ki te turaki.
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.
Na ka mea atu a Amatia ki te tangata a te Atua, Ha, me pehea nga taranata kotahi rau i hoatu e ahau ki te taua a Iharaira? Ano ra ko te tangata a te Atua, E ahei ana i te Atua te homai ki a koe kia rahi noa ake i tenei.
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.
Katahi ratou ka wehea atu e Amatia, ara te taua i haere mai ki a ia i Eparaima, kia hoki ki to ratou na wahi. Na mura rawa to ratou riri ki a Hura, a hoki ana ki to ratou wahi, mura tonu te riri.
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;
Na ka whakapakari a Amatia i a ia, a arahina ana e ia tona iwi, haere ana ki Raorao Tote, patua iho e ia nga tama a Heira, kotahi tekau mano.
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.
Na, ko era atu mano, kotahi tekau, i ora nei, whakaraua ana e nga tama a Hura, kawea ana ki te tihi o te kamaka, maka atu ana i te tihi o te kamaka, a mongamonga noa ratou katoa.
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.
Otiia, ko nga tangata o te taua i whakahokia nei e Amatia, kei haere tahi ratou ki te whawhai, whakaekea ana e ratou nga pa o Hura, o Hamaria mai ano a tae noa ki Petehorono, patua iho etahi o ratou, e toru mano, nui atu hoki te taonga i pahuati a e ratou.
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.
A, muri i te taenga mai o Amatia i te patunga i nga Eromi, ka mauria mai e ia nga atua o nga tama a Heira, na ka whakaturia e ia hei atua mona, koropiko ana ia ki mua i a ratou, tahuna ana e ia he whakakakara ki a ratou.
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?
Na reira ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a Amatia, a unga ana mai e ia he poropiti ki a ia, hei korero ki a ia, He aha koe i rapu ai i ta nga atua o te iwi na? kihai na hoki to ratou iwi i whakaorangia e ratou i tou ringa.
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.
Na, i a ia e korero ana ki a ia, ka mea te kingi ki a ia, Kua waiho ranei koe hei kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro mo te kingi? Kati tau; mo te aha koe kia patua? Na mutu ake ta te poropiti; otiia i ki ano ia, E mohio ana ano ahau kua takoto to te Atua w hakaaro mou, kia ngaro, mo tau meatanga i tenei, mou hoki kihai i rongo ki toku whakaaro.
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!
Katahi a Amatia kingi o Hura ka whakatakoto whakaaro, a unga tangata ana ki a Ioaha tama a Iehoahata tama a Iehu kingi o Iharaira, hei ki atu, Tena, taua ka titiro tetahi ki te kanohi o tetahi.
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.
Na ka unga tangata a Ioaha kingi o Iharaira ki a Amatia kingi o Hura, hei ki atu, i tono karere te tataramoa i Repanona ki te hita i Repanona, hei ki atu, Homai tau tamahine hei wahine ma taku tama. Na ko te haerenga atu o tetahi kirehe i Repano na, takahia iho e ia taua tataramoa.
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?
E ki ana koe, Na, kua patua e koe Eroma; a kua whakanekehia ake koe e tou ngakau kia whakapehapeha. E noho ra ki tou whare: he aha koe ka whakapataritari ai, e kino ai koe, e hinga ai koe, a koe na, koutou tahi ko Hura?
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.
Otiia kihai a Amatia i rongo; na te Atua hoki tena, kia hoatu ai ratou e ia ki te ringa o o ratou hoariri, mo ratou i rapu tikanga i nga atua o Eroma.
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.
Heoi haere ana a Ioaha kingi o Iharaira, a ka titiro raua ko Amatia kingi o Hura, tetahi ki te kanohi o tetahi, ki Petehemehe o Hura.
22 Then was Judah defeated, before Israel, —and they fled every man to his own home;
Na kua patua a Hura i te aroaro o Iharaira, a rere ana ratou, tena ki tona teneti, tena ki tona teneti.
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;
I mau ano a Amatia kingi o Hura tama a Ioaha tama a Iehoahata i a Ioaha kingi o Iharaira ki Petehemehe, a kawea ana ia ki Hiruharama, wawahia ana e ia te taiepa o Hiruharama, i te kuwaha mai ano o Eparaima taea noatia te kuwaha o te koki, e wha rau whatianga.
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.
Na, ko te koura katoa, ko te hiriwa, me nga oko katoa i kitea ki te whare o te Atua, ki a Opereeroma, me nga taonga o te whare o te kingi, me etahi tangata hei taumau, tangohia ake e ia, a hoki ana ki Hamaria.
25 And Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived, after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel, —fifteen years.
A tekau ma rima nga tau i ora ai a Amatia tama a Ioaha kingi o Hura i muri i te matenga o Ioaha tama a Iehoahata kingi o Iharaira.
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.
Na, ko era atu meatanga a Amatia, o mua, me o muri, nana, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga kingi o Hura, o Iharaira?
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.
Na no muri i te wa i mahue ai i a Amatia te whai i a Ihowa, ka whakatupuria he he mona ki Hiruharama, a rere ana ia ki Rakihi. Otiia ka unga tangata ratou ki te whai i a ia ki Rakihi, a whakamatea iho ia ki reira.
28 And they brought him on horses, -and buried him with his fathers, in the city of Judah.
A mauria ana mai i runga hoiho, tanumia ana ki te taha o ona matua, ki te pa o Hura.
