2 Chronicles 25
1 Amaziah was 25 years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled from Jerusalem for 29 years. His mother was Jehoaddin; she was from Jerusalem.
Amaziah teh siangpahrang a tawk navah, kum 25 touh a pha. Jerusalem vah kum 29 touh a bawi teh, a manu teh Jerusalem tami Jehoaddin doeh.
2 Amaziah did many things that pleased Yahweh, but he did not do them enthusiastically.
BAWIPA e mithmu vah, hawinae a sak, hatei yuemkamcunae lungthin hoi nahoeh.
3 As soon as he was in complete control of his kingdom, he caused to be executed the officials who had murdered his father.
Hahoi a uknaeram a cak torei teh, a na pa ka thet e sannaw hah a thei.
4 But he did not command their sons to be executed; he obeyed what was in the laws that Moses had written. In those laws Yahweh had commanded, “People must not be executed because of [what] their children [have done], and children must not be executed for [what] their parents [have done]. People must be executed only for the sins that they themselves have committed.”
Hatei, a canaw teh thet hoeh. Mosi e cauk dawk thut e, canaw kecu dawk a napanaw due hanelah awm hoeh niteh, a napanaw kecu dawk canaw hai due hanelah awm hoeh. Tami pueng mae yon kecu dawk due hanelah a o, telah BAWIPA ni kâ a poe e patetlah a sak.
5 Amaziah summoned the men of [the tribes of] Judah and Benjamin to come to Jerusalem, and there he put them in groups, each clan in a group by themselves. Then he appointed officers to command each group. Some officers commanded 100 men and some commanded 1,000 men. They counted the men who were at least 20 years old; altogether there were 300,000 men. They were all men who were prepared to be in the army, and able to [fight well, ] using spears and shields.
Amaziah ni Judahnaw a pâkhueng teh Judah hoi Benjaminnaw pueng a imthung lahoi 1000 ka uk e rahim thoseh, 100 touh hoi lathueng ka uk e rahim thoseh koung ao sak. Kum 20 touh hoi lathueng lae a touk teh, tahroe hoi saiphei ka hno thai ni teh taran ka tuk thai e 300, 000 touh a pha.
6 Amaziah also hired 100,000 capable soldiers from Israel and paid almost four tons of silver for them.
Isarel ram e tarankahawi ni teh athakaawme 100, 000 touh ngun tangka talen 100 touh hoi a hlai.
7 But a prophet came to him and said, “Your majesty, you must not allow those soldiers from Israel to march with your soldiers, because Yahweh does not help the people of the tribe of Ephraim or from [anywhere else in] Israel.
Hatei ahni koe Cathut e tami buet touh a tho teh, Oe siangpahrang, Isarel ransanaw nang koe bawk hanh naseh, bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA teh Isarelnaw (Ephraim catounnaw mek touksin hoeh) koelah awm hoeh.
8 Even if your soldiers go and fight courageously in battles, God will cause your enemies to defeat you; do not forget that God has the power to help armies or to cause them to be defeated.”
Hatei na cet pawiteh taranhawi laihoi tarantuknae hmuen koe kâroe telah nahoeh pawiteh Cathut ni tarannaw hmalah na sung sakpayon vaih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut teh kabawpthainae hoi pahnawtthainae thaonae a tawn telah atipouh.
9 Amaziah asked that prophet, “If I do that, what about the huge amount of silver that I paid to hire those soldiers from Israel?” The prophet replied, “Yahweh is able to pay you back more money than you paid [to hire those soldiers].”
Amaziah ni Cathut e tami koevah, telah pawiteh, Isarel ransanaw koe talen 100 touh rip ka poe e hah bangtelamaw ka ti han telah atipouh. Cathut e tami ni, BAWIPA ni hethlak kapap bout na poe thai, telah atipouh.
10 So Amaziah told those soldiers from Israel to return home. They left to go home, but they were very angry with the king of Judah [for not allowing them to stay and fight].
Hottelah, Amaziah ni Ephraim ram e ransanaw bout ban hanelah a kapek. Hatdawkvah, Judahnaw koe a lung pueng hoi a phuen teh, lungphuen laihoi a ban awh.
11 Then Amaziah became brave, and he led his army to the Salt Valley. There they killed 10,000 men from the Edom people-group.
Amaziah ni tha a kâla teh, a taminaw a hrawi teh, palawi yawn dawk a cei awh teh, Seir catounnaw 10, 000 touh a thei awh.
12 The army of Judah also captured 10,000 others, and took them to the top of a cliff and threw them all down over the cliff, with the result that their corpses were all smashed to pieces.
Alouke 10, 000 touh teh, Judahnaw ni a hring lahoi a man awh teh lungsong koe a ceikhai awh teh, lungsong van hoi a tanawt awh teh, reppasei lah a bo awh.
13 While that was happening, the soldiers from Israel whom Amaziah had sent home after not allowing them to fight along with his soldiers, raided cities and towns in Judea, from Samaria [city] to Beth-Horon [town]. They killed 3,000 people and took away a great amount of valuable things.
Hatei, Amaziah ni tarantuknae hmuen koe cei hoeh hanelah a ban sak e ransanaw ni Samaria kho koehoi Bethhoron totouh Judah khonaw a tuk awh teh, tami 3, 000 touh a thei awh teh, lawphno moikapap a la awh.
14 When Amaziah returned [to Jerusalem] after his army had slaughtered the soldiers from Edom, he brought the idols that were worshiped by the people of Edom. He set them up to be his own gods. Then he bowed down to [worship] them and offered sacrifices to them.
Hahoi Amaziah teh Edomnaw theinae koehoi a ban navah, Seir catounnaw e cathut a bankhai teh, a cathut hanelah a kangdue sak teh, a bawk teh hmuitui thuengnae a sak.
15 Because of that, Yahweh was very angry with Amaziah. He sent a prophet to him, who said, “Why do you worship these foreign gods that were not even able to save their own people when your army attacked them?”
Hatdawkvah, Amaziah koe BAWIPA a lungkhuek teh, ahni koe profet a patoun teh, ahni koevah, na kut dawk hoi a taminaw ka rungngang thai hoeh e cathut bangkongmaw na tawng, telah atipouh.
16 While he was still speaking, the king said to him, “We certainly did not appoint you to be one of my advisors. So stop [talking]! If you say anything more, [I will tell my soldiers to] kill you!” So the prophet said, “I know that God has determined to get rid of you, because you have [begun to] worship idols, and have not heeded my advice.” Then the prophet said nothing more.
Hahoi ahni koe lawk a dei lahun nah, siangpahrang ni siangpahrang lawkcengkung lah na sak maw, duem awmh telah atipouh. Bangkongmaw na hringnae due sak hanelah na ngai. Hottelah, profet ni, Cathut ni hettelah na sak teh, ka pouknae banglahai na noutna hoeh dawkvah, raphoe hanelah na noenae ka panue telah ati teh, duem ao.
17 Some time later Amaziah, the king of Judah, consulted his advisors. Then he sent a message to Jehoash, the king of Israel. He wrote, “Come here and let’s talk together.”
Judah siangpahrang Amaziah ni pouknae a hei teh, Isarel siangpahrang Jehu capa lah kaawm e Jehoahaz capa Joash koe vah, tho haw minhmai kâhmo vaiteh, kâkhen roi haw sei telah tami a patoun.
18 But Jehoash replied to King Amaziah, “One time a thistle growing [in the mountains] in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar tree saying, ‘Let your daughter marry my son.’ But a wild animal in Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle under its feet.
Isarel siangpahrang ni Judah siangpahrang Amaziah koe vah, Lebanon mon pâkhing ni Lebanon mon e Sidar thingkung koevah, na canu hah ka capa e yu hanlah na poe telah lawk a thui. Hahoi Lebanon mon e sarang a tho teh, pâkhingnaw koung ka rawm lah a katin.
19 [The meaning of what I am saying is that] you are saying to yourself that your army has defeated the army of Edom, so you have become very proud. But you should stay at your home. It would not be good for you to cause trouble, which would result in you and your kingdom of Judah being destroyed.”
Nang ni khenhaw! Edom teh ka tâ telah na kâoup. Nama im duem awmh. Nama hoi Judah ram rawkphainae hah bangkongmaw na tâco sak han telah tami a patoun.
20 But Amaziah refused to heed Jehoash’s message. That happened because God wanted Jehoash’s army to defeat them, because they were worshiping the gods of Edom.
Hatei, Amaziah ni banglahai noutna hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Edomnaw e cathut a tawng kecu dawk, Judah ram teh a taran kut dawk poe thai nahanelah Cathut ni a noe e doeh.
21 So Jehoash’s army attacked. Their two armies faced each other at Beth-Shemesh [city] in Judah.
Hottelah Isarel siangpahrang Joash teh, a takhang teh, Judah siangpahrang Amaziah hoi Judah ram Bethshemesh vah minhmai kâhmo hoi khei a kâkhet roi.
22 The army of Judah was badly defeated by the army of Israel, and all the soldiers of Judah fled to their homes.
Hahoi Judah teh Isarel hmalah a sung teh tamipueng a ma im lah koung a yawng awh.
23 King Jehoash’s army also captured King Amaziah there. Then he brought Amaziah to Jerusalem, and his soldiers tore down the wall [that was around the city], from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate. That was a section that was about 600 feet long.
Isarel siangpahrang ni Judah siangpahrang Ahaziah e capa lah kaawm e Jehoahaz capa Amaziah teh Bethshemesh vah a man awh. Jerusalem lah a ceikhai teh, Jerusalem rapan teh, Ephraim rapan longkha koehoi, rapan takin longkha totouh dong 400 touh koung a raphoe pouh.
24 His soldiers also carried away the gold and silver and other valuable furnishings from the temple which the descendants of Obed-Edom had previously been guarding. They also took away the valuable things in the palace, and they took to Samaria some prisoners whom they had captured.
Hatnavah, sui, ngun hoi hnopai pueng Obededom hoi Cathut im dawk e a hmu e hnopai pueng siangpahrang im dawk a pâkhueng e hnopai naw hoi san lah man e hai, Samaria lah a bankhai.
25 King Jehoash of Israel died, and King Amaziah of Judah lived for 15 years after that.
Judah siangpahrang Joash capa Amaziah teh, Isarel siangpahrang Jehoahaz capa Joash a due hnukkhu kum 15 touh a hring rah.
26 An account of all the other things that Amaziah did while he was the king [of Judah] is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah and Israel’.
Amaziah thaw tawknae dawk hoi kaawm rae naw teh a kamtawng hoi a pout totouh, Judah hoi Isarel siangpahrangnaw e cauk dawk thut lah awm hoeh namaw.
27 From the time that Amaziah started to disobey Yahweh, some men in Jerusalem planned to kill him. He was able to escape to Lachish [city], but those who wanted to kill him sent another group of people to Lachish and killed him there.
Hottelah Amaziah ni BAWIPA hnukkâbangnae koehoi a kâhat tahma Jerusalem vah arulahoi a kamkhueng awh teh, Lakhish kho lah a yawng. Hateh, Lakhish kho lah tami a pâlei sak teh haw vah a thei awh,
28 They put his corpse on a horse and brought it back to Jerusalem and buried it where his ancestors [had been buried] in the part of Jerusalem called ‘The City of David’.
A ro teh marang hoi a phu teh mintoenaw koe Judah khopui dawk a pakawp awh.
