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 el tokosrala ke el yac longoul limekosr, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac longoul eu. Nina kial pa Jehoaddin, sie mutan Jerusalem.
2 Amaziah did many things that pleased Yahweh, but he did not do them enthusiastically.
Amaziah el oru ma su akinsewowoye LEUM GOD, tusruktu el tia oru ke insial nufon.
3 As soon as he was in complete control of his kingdom, he caused to be executed the officials who had murdered his father.
Ke pacl se ku lun tokosrai lal oan inpaol, el uniya mwet pwapa luo ma uniya papa tumal ah.
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.”
Tusruktu el tiana uniya tulik natultal, a el fahsrna ke ma LEUM GOD El sapkin in Ma Sap lal Moses ma fahk mu, “Papa ac nina ac fah tia anwuki ke ma koluk lun tulik natulos, ac tulik uh ac fah tia anwuki ke ma koluk lun papa ku nina. Sie mwet ac fah anwuki ke ma koluk su el sifacna orala.”
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.
Tokosra Amaziah el sap mukul nukewa in sruf lun Judah ac Benjamin ma yac longoulyak in kitakatelik nu ke kais sie un mwet mweun, fal nu ke sou lulap lalos. El sang in oasr captain fin tausin ac fin foko. Oasr mwet tolfoko tausin su solla ac akola nu ke mweun, ac elos mwet na sasla ke anwuk ke osra ac mwe loang.
6 Amaziah also hired 100,000 capable soldiers from Israel and paid almost four tons of silver for them.
Sayen mwet inge, el srukak pac mwet mweun siofok tausin sin mwet Israel, ac lupan silver ma el sang moli nu selos akuran sun oalkosr tausin paun.
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.
A sie mwet palu som nu yorol tokosra ac fahk nu sel, “Nimet us mwet mweun lun Israel inge in wi kom. LEUM GOD El tia wi mwet inge su ma in Tokosrai Epang.
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.”
Sahp kom ac nunku mu elos ac oru tuh kom in kui ke pacl in mweun, tusruktu ku lun God mukena pa ac sot kutangla ku tia kutangla uh, na El ac lela mwet lokoalok lom in kutangkomla.”
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 el siyuk sin mwet palu sac, “Na ac fuka mani na yohk nga sang molelosla tari ah?” Mwet palu sac topuk ac fahk, “LEUM GOD El ku in folokonot yohk liki ma ingan!”
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].
Ouinge Amaziah el supwala un mwet se el moli ah, ac sap elos in folokla nu yen selos. Na elos folokla ac arulana kasrkusrak sin mwet Judah.
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 el sifacna oru elan pulaik, ac kolla mwet lal ah nu Infahlfal Sohl. Elos mweun we ac uniya singoul tausin mwet mweun lun Edom,
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.
ac sruokya pac mwet singoul tausin saya. Elos pwanla mwet mweun inge nwe fin fulu se in siti Sela, ac siselosla nwe ten, ac elos misa ke eot ma oan ten.
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.
In pacl se inge, mwet mweun Israel ma Amaziah el tia lela in welul ah, elos mweuni siti lun Judah ma oan inmasrlon Samaria ac Beth Horon. Elos uniya mukul tolu tausin, ac eisla ma wap pukanten.
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.
Ke Amaziah el kutangla mwet Edom ac foloko nu yen sel, el use ma sruloala lalos, oakiya ke acn se, alu nu kac, ac el akosak pac mwe keng nu kac.
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?”
Ma inge aktoasrye LEUM GOD, ouinge El supwala mwet sie palu nu yorol Amaziah. Na mwet palu sac siyuk suwoswosang nu sel, “Efu ku kom alu nu sin god saya su tia ku in molela mwet lalos sifacna liki ku lom?”
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.
Ke mwet palu sac srakna kaskas Amaziah el kutongol ac fahk, “Kut orala ngac mu kom pa ac fahk nu sin tokosra ma el ac oru? Nimet sifilpa kas, nga unikomi!” Mwet palu sac tui, tusruktu el fahkla kas se inge, “Inge nga etu lah LEUM GOD El wotela tari mu El ac kunauskomla, mweyen kom oru ma inge ac tia lohng ma nga fahk uh.”
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.”
Tokosra Amaziah lun Judah ac mwet pwapa lal elos pwapani in lain mwet Israel. Na Amaziah el supwala kas nu sel Tokosra Jehoash lun Israel, su wen natul Jehoahaz ac nutin natul Jehu, ac el srike in purakulak in mweun lainul.
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.
Jehoash el supwala top lal nu sel Amaziah ac fahk, “Sie pacl ah, sak kokul soko Fineol Lebanon el supwala kas se nu sin sak cedar soko ac fahk, ‘Ase acn nutum an in payuk sin wen nutik uh.’ Na kosro lemnak soko fahsryak lolongya sak kokul soko ah.
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.”
Inge, Amaziah, kom konkin mu kom kutangla mwet Edom, tuh nga fahk nu sum, wo kom in mutana yen sum. Efu kom ku purakak mwe tukulkul ma ac oru tuh kom ac mwet lom in musalla kac?”
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.
Tusruktu Amaziah el tia lungse lohng. Ma inge oakwuk lun LEUM GOD nu sel Amaziah, tuh in kutangyukla el mweyen el alu nu sin ma sruloala lun mwet Edom.
21 So Jehoash’s army attacked. Their two armies faced each other at Beth-Shemesh [city] in Judah.
Ouinge Tokosra Jehoash lun Israel el som in mweuni Tokosra Amaziah lun Judah. Elos osun in Beth Shemesh in acn Judah.
22 The army of Judah was badly defeated by the army of Israel, and all the soldiers of Judah fled to their homes.
Un mwet mweun lun Judah kutangyukla, ac elos kaingla nu yen selos.
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 el sruokilya Amaziah ac usalla nu Jerusalem. Na Jehoash el kunausya pot lun siti uh inmasrlon Mutunpot Ephraim nwe ke Mutunpot in Sruwasrik. Lusen acn se ma musalla inge oasr ke yact luofoko.
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.
El usla gold ac silver nukewa ma oan in Tempul, oayapa kufwa lun Tempul su karinginyuk sin tulik natul Obed Edom, wi pac ma saok in lohm sin tokosra, ac el us ma inge nukewa ac folokla nu Samaria. El usla pac kutu mwet sruoh welul.
25 King Jehoash of Israel died, and King Amaziah of Judah lived for 15 years after that.
Yac singoul limekosr pa Tokosra Amaziah lun Judah el moul loes lukel Tokosra Jehoash lun 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’.
Ma nukewa saya ma Amaziah el orala ke pacl el tokosra, ke mutawauk nwe ke safla, simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Judah Ac 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.
Ke pacl se na ma Amaziah el oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD ah me, oasr na pwapa koluk orek lainul in Jerusalem, pwanang el tuh kaingla nu in siti Lachish. Tusruktu mwet lokoalok lal ukwalla nwe we ac unilya.
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’.
Utukla manol nu Jerusalem fin horse soko, ac pukpuki el inkulyuk lun mwet leum in Siti sel David.
