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.
Amasiah jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dọ́gbọ̀n nígbà tí ó di ọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún mọ́kàndínlọ́gbọ̀n orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ a máa jẹ́ Jehoadani, ó wá láti Jerusalẹmu.
2 Amaziah did many things that pleased Yahweh, but he did not do them enthusiastically.
Ó ṣe ohun tí ó dára lójú Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe tọkàntọkàn.
3 As soon as he was in complete control of his kingdom, he caused to be executed the officials who had murdered his father.
Lẹ́yìn tí ìjọba ti wà ní ìdarí rẹ̀, ó pa àwọn oníṣẹ́ tí ó pa baba rẹ̀ ọba.
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.”
Síbẹ̀ kò pa àwọn ọmọ wọn, ṣùgbọ́n ó ṣe ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú ohun tí a kọ nínú òfin nínú ìwé Mose, níbi tí Olúwa ti paláṣẹ pé, “A kò gbọdọ̀ pa àwọn baba fún àwọn ọmọ wọn tàbí àwọn ọmọ fún baba wọn, olúkúlùkù ni kí ó kú fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀.”
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.
Amasiah, pe gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn Juda pọ̀, ó sì fi iṣẹ́ lé wọn lọ́wọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìdílé wọn sí àwọn alákòóso ẹgbẹẹgbẹ̀rún àti àwọn alákòóso ọ̀rọ̀ọ̀rún fún gbogbo Juda àti Benjamini, ó sì gbá iye wọn láti ẹni ogún ọdún àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ jọ, ó sì rí i pé ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún àwọn ọkùnrin ni ó ti múra fún ìsìn ogun, tí ó lè gbá ọ̀kọ̀ àti àpáta mú.
6 Amaziah also hired 100,000 capable soldiers from Israel and paid almost four tons of silver for them.
Ó sì yá ọ̀kẹ́ márùn-ún àwọn ọkùnrin oníjà láti Israẹli fún ọgọ́rùn-ún àwọn tálẹ́ǹtì fàdákà.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ènìyàn Ọlọ́run kan tọ̀ ọ́ wá ó sì wí pé, “Ọba, àwọn ọ̀wọ́ ogun láti Israẹli kò gbọdọ̀ yan pẹ̀lú rẹ, nítorí tí Olúwa kò wà pẹ̀lú Israẹli kì í ṣe pẹ̀lú ẹnìkankan láti Efraimu.
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.”
Àní, tí ẹ bá lọ jà pẹ̀lú ìmúláyàle ní ojú ogun, Ọlọ́run yóò bì ọ́ ṣubú níwájú àwọn ọ̀tá, nítorí Ọlọ́run ní agbára láti ràn ọ́ lọ́wọ́ àti láti bì ọ́ ṣubú.”
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].”
Amasiah sì bi ènìyàn Ọlọ́run pé, “Ọgọ́rùn-ún tálẹ́ǹtì tí mo ti san fún àwọn ọ̀wọ́ ogun àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ń kọ́?” Ènìyàn Ọlọ́run dáhùn pé “Olúwa lè fún ọ ní èyí tí ó ju ìyẹn lọ.”
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].
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Amasiah, tú àwọn ọwọ́ ogun tí ó ti wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ láti Efraimu ká. Ó sì rán wọn lọ ilé. Wọ́n kún fún ìbínú pẹ̀lú Juda, wọ́n sì padà lọ ilé pẹ̀lú ìbínú ńlá.
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.
Nígbà náà, Amasiah ko ogun rẹ jọ àti àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀ lọ sí àfonífojì iyọ̀, níbi tí ó ti pa ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá àwọn ọkùnrin Seiri.
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.
Àwọn ọkùnrin Juda pẹ̀lú fi agbára mú àwọn ọkùnrin ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá láààyè. Wọ́n mú wọn lọ sí orí òkè bèbè òkúta, wọ́n jù wọ́n sílẹ̀, kí gbogbo wọn sì fọ́ sí wẹ́wẹ́.
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.
Ní báyìí àwọn ọ̀wọ́ ogun tí Amasiah ti rán lọ padà, tí wọn kò nípa nínú ogun gbógun sí àwọn ìlú Juda láti Samaria sí Beti-Horoni. Wọ́n pa ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́ta nínú wọn, wọ́n sì kó ọ̀pọ̀ ìkógun ńlá.
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.
Nígbà tí Amasiah padà láti ibi pípa àwọn ará Edomu, ó mú àwọn ọlọ́run àwọn ènìyàn Seiri padà wá. Ó gbé wọn kalẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bi àwọn ọlọ́run tirẹ̀. Ó tẹríba fún wọn, ó sì rú ẹbọ fún wọn.
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?”
Ìbínú Olúwa ru sí Amasiah, ó sì rán wòlíì kan sí i, tí ó wí pé, “Kí ni ó dé tí ìwọ fi ń béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọlọ́run àwọn ènìyàn yìí, tí wọn kò le gba àwọn ènìyàn tiwọn kúrò lọ́wọ́ rẹ?”
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.
Bí ó ti n sọ̀rọ̀, ọba wí fún un pé, “Ṣé a yàn ọ́ ní olùgba ọba lámọ̀ràn ni? Dúró! Èéṣe tí a ó fi lù ọ́ bolẹ̀?” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, wòlíì náà dúró ṣùgbọ́n ó wí pé, “Èmi mọ̀ pé Ọlọ́run ti pinnu láti pa ọ́ run nítorí ìwọ ti ṣe èyí, ìwọ kò sì tẹ́tí sí ìmọ̀ràn mi.”
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.”
Lẹ́yìn tí Amasiah ọba Juda ti béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn olùdámọ̀ràn, ó rán ìpèníjà yìí sí Jehoaṣi ọmọ Jehoahasi ọmọ Jehu, ọba Israẹli pé, “Wá bá mi lójúkojú.”
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n Jehoaṣi ọba Israẹli fèsì padà sí Amasiah ọba Juda pé, “Koríko kékeré kan ní Lebanoni rán iṣẹ́ sí igi kedari ní Lebanoni, fi ọmọbìnrin rẹ fún ọmọkùnrin mi ní ìgbéyàwó. Nígbà náà, ẹhànnà ẹranko ènìyàn ni Lebanoni wá, ó sì tẹ òṣùṣú náà lábẹ́ ẹsẹ̀.
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.”
Ìwọ wí fún ara à rẹ wí pé, ìwọ ti ṣẹ́gun Edomu àti nísinsin yìí ìwọ ní ìhàlẹ̀ àti ìgbéraga. Ṣùgbọ́n dúró ní ilé! Kí ni ó dé tí ìwọ fi ń wá wàhálà tí o sì fi ń fa ìṣubú rẹ àti ti Juda pẹ̀lú?”
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.
Amasiah, bí ó tì wù kí ó rí kò tẹ́tí nítorí Ọlọ́run ṣe é kí ó lè gbé wọn lé Jehoaṣi lọ́wọ́: nítorí wọ́n wá àwọn ọlọ́run Edomu.
21 So Jehoash’s army attacked. Their two armies faced each other at Beth-Shemesh [city] in Judah.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Jehoaṣi, ọba Israẹli: òun àti Amasiah ọba Juda dojúkọ ara wọn ní Beti-Ṣemeṣi ní Juda.
22 The army of Judah was badly defeated by the army of Israel, and all the soldiers of Judah fled to their homes.
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli da Juda rú, gbogbo olúkúlùkù ènìyàn sì sálọ sí ìlú rẹ̀.
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.
Jehoaṣi ọba Israẹli fi agbára mú Amasiah ọba Juda, ọmọ Joaṣi ọmọ Ahasiah ní Beti-Ṣemeṣi. Nígbà náà Joaṣi mú u wá sí Jerusalẹmu. Ó sì wó ògiri Jerusalẹmu lulẹ̀ láti ẹnu-ọ̀nà Efraimu sí igun ẹnu-ọ̀nà apá kan títí ń lọ sí irinwó ìgbọ̀nwọ́ ní gígùn.
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.
Ọba kó gbogbo wúrà àti fàdákà àti gbogbo ohun èlò tí wọ́n rí ni ilé Ọlọ́run tí ọ́ wà ní àbojútó Obedi-Edomu, lápapọ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn ìṣúra ààfin àti àwọn ògo pẹ̀lú, ó sì padà lọ sí Samaria.
25 King Jehoash of Israel died, and King Amaziah of Judah lived for 15 years after that.
Amasiah ọmọ Joaṣi ọba Juda gbé fún ọdún mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún lẹ́yìn ikú Jehoaṣi ọmọ Jehoahasi ọba Israẹli.
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’.
Fún ti iṣẹ́ mìíràn ti ìjọba Amasiah láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ dé ìparí, ṣé a kò kọ wọ́n sínú ìwé àwọn ọba Juda àti Israẹli?
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.
Láti ìgbà tí Amasiah ti yípadà kúrò láti máa tẹ̀lé Olúwa, wọ́n dìtẹ̀ sí i ní Jerusalẹmu, ó sì sálọ sí Lakiṣi ṣùgbọ́n, wọ́n rán àwọn ọkùnrin tẹ̀lé e lọ sí Lakiṣi, wọ́n sì pa á síbẹ̀.
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 gbé e padà pẹ̀lú ẹṣin. A sì sin ín pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀ ní ìlú ńlá ti Juda.
