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.
Amazia ne ja-higni piero ariyo gabich kane odoko ruoth kendo norito Jerusalem kuom higni piero ariyo gochiko. Min mare ne nyinge Jehoadin nyar Jerusalem.
2 Amaziah did many things that pleased Yahweh, but he did not do them enthusiastically.
Notimo gima kare e nyim Jehova Nyasaye to ok gi chunye duto.
3 As soon as he was in complete control of his kingdom, he caused to be executed the officials who had murdered his father.
Bangʼ ka pinyruodhe nosegurore maber, nonego jotelo mane onego wuon mare mane ruoth.
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.”
Kata kamano ne ok onego yawuot jogo nikech noluwo chik manie Kitap Chik mar Musa mane Jehova Nyasaye oketo mawacho niya, “Wuone ok nonegi nikech ketho mag nyithindgi, bende nyithindo kik negi nikech ketho mag wuonegi, to ngʼato ka ngʼato nonegi nikech richone owuon.”
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.
Eka Amazia nochoko jo-Juda kod jo-Benjamin kaachiel mopogogi tich kaluwore gi anywolagi kendo noyiero jotend migepe mag jolweny alufu achiel kod migepe mag mia achiel. Bangʼe nokwano jogo mahikgi piero ariyo ka dhi nyime kendo nonwangʼo ni ne gin ji alufu mia adek mane nyalo dhi e lweny kendo mane nyalo kedo gi tongʼ kod okumba.
6 Amaziah also hired 100,000 capable soldiers from Israel and paid almost four tons of silver for them.
Bende nondiko jo-Israel mathuondi alufu mia achiel kochulo fedha ma pekne romo kilo alufu adek gi mia angʼwen.
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.
To ngʼat Nyasaye moro nobiro ire mowachone niya, “Ruoth momi luor, kik iyie mondo jolweny ma jo-Israel dhi kodi nimar Jehova Nyasaye ok ni kod jo-Israel ma jo-Efraim-gi.
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.”
To kata kidhi ma ikedo gi chir e lweny, to Nyasaye nomi wasiki loyi, nikech Nyasayeno nigi teko mar konyi kata miyo wasiki loyi.”
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].”
Amazia nopenjo ngʼat Nyasaye niya, “To wabiro timo angʼo kuom fedha mapekgi romo kilo alufu adek gi mia angʼwen mane wachulo kuom jolweny mag jo-Israel?” Ngʼat Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Jehova Nyasaye nyalo miyi mangʼeny moloyo mano.”
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].
Eka Amazia noriembo jolweny mane oa Efraim mine gidok e miechgi ka igi owangʼ kendo gikecho malich gi Juda.
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.
To Amazia notimo chir kendo nowuok motelone jolweny mage kagidhi e Holo mar Chumbi kama nonege jo-Seir alufu apar.
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.
Jolweny mag Juda nomako ji alufu apar kangima mi negiterogi ewi lwanda moro kendo negidirogi piny ma githo kendo gitur matindo tindo.
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.
To e sechego jolweny mane Amazia oriembo ni ok inyal dhi kode e lweny nomonjo miech Juda chakre Samaria nyaka Beth Horon. Neginego ji alufu adek kendo negipeyo gik moko mangʼeny.
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.
Kane Amazia odwogo koa nego jo-Edom nokelo nyiseche mag jo-Seir moketogi ka nyisechege kokulore nigi kendo notimonigi misango.
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?”
Jehova Nyasaye nokecho ahinya gi Amazia kendo noorone janabi manowachone niya, “Angʼo momiyo igeno kuom nyiseche mag jogi mane ok nyal reso jogi giwegi e lweti?”
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.
Kane pod janabino wuoyo, ruoth nowachone niya, “Bende waseketi jangʼad rieko ne ruoth? Lingʼ thi! Koso idwaro tho?” Omiyo janabi nolingʼ, to bangʼe nowacho niya, “Angʼeyo ni Nyasaye osechano ni mondo otieki nikech gima isetimo kendo ok isewinjo puonjna.”
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.”
Bangʼe Amazia ruodh Juda nopenjo jongʼadne rieko mi nooro joote ir Jehoash wuod Jehoahaz ma wuod Jehu ruoth Israel kowacho niya, “Bi warom wangʼ gi wangʼ.”
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.
To Jehoash ruodh Israel nodwoko Amazia ruodh Juda gi ngero niya, “Kuth alii man Lebanon nooro wach ne yiend sida man Lebanon ni, ‘Yie ichiw nyari ne wuoda mondo okendi.’ To le moro mar bungu mowuok Lebanon nokadho kanyo monyono kuth aliino gi tiende.
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.”
In iwuorori ni iseloyo jo-Edom kendo koro iwuoyo marach kisungori. To ber mondo ibed mana e dala. Angʼo momiyo imanyo lweny mabiro tieki kaachiel gi jo-Juda duto?”
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.
Kata kamano, Amazia ne ok odewo, nimar ne en dwaro Nyasaye mondo ochiwe e lwet Jehoash nikech negiluwo nyiseche mag Edom.
21 So Jehoash’s army attacked. Their two armies faced each other at Beth-Shemesh [city] in Judah.
Omiyo Jehoash ruodh Israel nomonje. Jehoash kod Amazia ruodh Juda ne joromo e lweny e dala mar Beth Shemesh man Juda.
22 The army of Judah was badly defeated by the army of Israel, and all the soldiers of Judah fled to their homes.
Jo-Israel noloyo jo-Juda kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato noringo kochomo dalane.
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.
Jehoash ruodh Israel nomako Amazia wuod Joash ma wuod Ahazia, ruodh Juda e Beth Shemesh. Bangʼe Jehoash nokele Jerusalem kendo nomuko ohinga mar Jerusalem chakre e Dhoranga Efraim nyaka kama ohinga ogomogo, bor kama ne omuko ne romo fut mia abich gi piero ochiko gachiel.
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.
Nokawo dhahabu gi fedha duto kod gik moko duto mane oyudo e hekalu mar Nyasaye mane Obed-Edom orito kaachiel gi keno mar ruoth kod ji moko mano mako e lweny, bangʼe nodok e piny Samaria.
25 King Jehoash of Israel died, and King Amaziah of Judah lived for 15 years after that.
Amazia wuod Joash ruodh Juda nodak higni apar gabich bangʼ tho Jehoash wuod Jehoahaz ruodh Israel.
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’.
To weche mamoko mag loch Amazia kar chakruokgi nyaka gikogi donge ondikgi e kitap ruodhi mag Juda kod Israel?
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.
Chakre ndalo mane Amazia oweyo luwo Jehova Nyasaye, negichikone obadho e Jerusalem mi oringo odhi Lakish, to negioro ji bangʼe Lakish ma onege kuno.
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’.
Noduog ringre kotingʼ gi faras kendo noyike but kwerene e Dala Maduongʼ mar Juda.
