2 Kings 14
1 After Jehoash had been ruling Israel for almost two years, Joash’s son Amaziah became the king of Judah.
Isarel siangpahrang Jehoahaz capa Joash a bawinae kum hni navah, Judah siangpahrang Joash capa Amaziah teh siangpahrang nueng kamtawng.
2 He was 25 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 29 years. His mother was Jehoaddin; she was from Jerusalem.
A kum 25 nah uk han nueng a kamtawng teh, Jerusalem vah kum 29 touh a uk. A manu min teh Jehoaddin, Jerusalem tami doeh.
3 Amaziah did many things that pleased Yahweh, but he did not do as many things that pleased Yahweh as King David had done. He did some of the good things that his father Joash had done.
BAWIPA mithmu vah kalan e hno hah ouk a sak. Hatei Devit hoi teh kâvan hoeh. A na pa Joash ni a sak e hah ouk a sak.
4 But, [like his father, ] he did not tear down the places for worshipping Yahweh at pagan shrines. The people continued to burn incense [to honor Yahweh] on those hills [instead of in Jerusalem, the place that Yahweh had appointed].
Hatei hmuen ka rasang lah phat thai hoeh. A hmuenrasang koevah taminaw pueng ni, thuengnae sak awh teh, hmuitui hoi hmaisawinae a sak awh.
5 As soon as he was completely in control of his kingdom, he caused to be executed the officials who had murdered his father.
A uknaeram a caksak tahma vah, a tami hoi a na pa siangpahrang kathetnaw hah toungloung a thei.
6 But he did not execute their children. He obeyed what was written in the laws that God gave to Moses: “Parents must not be executed for [the crimes/sins committed by] their children, and children must not be executed for [crimes/sins committed by] their parents. People must be executed only for the sins that they themselves [have committed].”
Hatei Mosi cauk dawkvah, canaw kecu dawk na pa naw na thet ama hoeh. Napanaw kecu dawk canaw thet mahoeh. Tami pueng ma yon kecu dawk due han telah BAWIPA ni kâ a poe e patetlah ayâ ka thet e canaw teh thet hoeh.
7 Amaziah’s soldiers killed 10,000 soldiers of the Edom people-group in the Salt Valley [south of the Dead Sea], and they captured Sela [city] and gave it a new name, Joktheel. That is still its name.
Edomnaw teh palawi yon dawk 10, 000 touh a thei awh. Sela naw a tuk awh teh a la awh. A min lavah Joktheel telah ati awh teh, atu totouh pou atipouh awh.
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to King Jehoash of Israel, saying “Come here and let’s talk together.”
Amaziah ni, Isarel siangpahrang Jehu capa Jehoahaz ca, Jehoash koevah, tho haw, minhmai rek kâhmo lah, kâkhen sei telah patounenaw a patoun.
9 But King Jehoash replied to King Amaziah: “Once a thornbush growing [in the mountains] in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar tree, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son in order that he may marry her.’ But a wild animal in Lebanon passed by the thornbush and trampled it.
Isarel siangpahrang Jehoash ni Judah siangpahrang Amaziah koevah, Lebanon mon e pâkhing ni, Lebanon mon e sumpa thing koevah, na canu hah ka capa e yu lah lat sak haw telah lawk a thui. Hahoi Lebanon mon e saringnaw a tho teh, pâkhing teh koung a katin awh.
10 [The meaning of what I am saying is that] your army has defeated the army of Edom, so now you have become very proud. But you should be content with defeating the people of Edom, and allow your soldiers to stay at home. If you cause trouble [by fighting against] us, you will surely [RHQ] cause a disaster to happen to you and to your people.”
Edomnaw hah na tâ teh, na lung na kârasang sak awh. Bawilennae na hmu e teh nama im awm khaih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang nama hai na teng kaawm Judahnaw hanelah tâlaw sak vaiteh rucatnae, kâhmo sak hanlah nang ni na nout vaw atipouh.
11 But Amaziah refused to heed Jehoash’s message. So he marched with his army to fight against the Israeli army at Beth-Shemesh [city] in Judah.
Hatei, Amaziah ni hote teh ngai pouh hoeh. Hahoi Isarel siangpahrang Jehoash teh a takhang, Judah siangpahrang Amaziah hoi Judah ram, Bethshemesh vah, minhmai rek kâhmo lah a kâkhet awh katang.
12 The Israeli army defeated the army of Judah, and all the soldiers of Judah fled and ran back home.
Judah teh Isarelnaw ni a tâ teh, tami pueng amamouh im vah lengkaleng a yawng awh.
13 Jehoash’s army also captured King Amaziah there, and they also marched to Jerusalem and tore down the wall that was around the city, from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate. That was a section that was about (200 yards/180 meters) long.
Isarel siangpahrang Jehoash ni Judah siangpahrang Amaziah capa Jehoash capa, Amaziah ni Bethshemesh a thei. Jerusalem vah a cei teh Jerusalem kalupnae rapan teh, Ephraim kalupnae longkha koehoi rapan kalupnae takin longkha koe totouh a dong cumpali touh a raphoe pouh.
14 Jehoash’s soldiers seized all the gold and silver that they found, and all the utensils that were in the temple, and all the valuable things that were in the palace, and took them to Samaria. They also took to Samaria some prisoners whom they had captured.
BAWIPA im hoi siangpahrang im vah a ta awh e, râw sui hoi ngun, hlaam, kaawm e naw pueng hoi cawngket e naw pueng he a la pouh teh Samaria kho a ban.
15 [If you want to know about] all the other things that Jehoash did when he was king, including when he [and his army] fought against [the army of] King Amaziah of Judah, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Jehoash tawksaknae kaawm rae pueng hoi a hno sakthainae hoi Judah siangpahrang Amaziah, a tuknae kongnaw teh, Isarel siangpahrangnaw setouknae cauk dawkvah be thut toung nahoehmaw.
16 Jehoash died [EUP], and he was buried in Samaria, where the other kings of Israel had been buried. Then his son Jeroboam became the king.
Jehoash teh amae mintoenaw koe a kâhat teh Samaria kho Isarel siangpahrangnaw koe a pakawp awh. Hahoi a capa Jeroboam ni a yueng lah a uk.
17 Amaziah, the king of Judah, lived for 15 more years after Jehoash, the king of Israel, died.
Judah siangpahrang Joash e capa Amaziah teh Isarel siangpahrang Jehoahaz capa Jehoash a due hnukkhu kum 15 touh a hring.
18 [If you want to know more about] everything else that Amaziah did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Hahoi Amaziah tawksaknae thung dawk hoi kaawm rae naw teh, Judah siangpahrangnaw setouknae cauk dawk thut lah ao nahoehmaw.
19 Some people in Jerusalem plotted against Amaziah, so he fled to Lachish [city]. But they followed him there and killed him.
Jerusalem kho vah, Amaziah thei hanlah a dum awh dawkvah Amaziah teh Lakhish vah a yawng, hatei Lakhish vah tami a pâlei sak teh haw vah a thei awh.
20 They took his corpse 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 dawk hoi a ceikhai awh teh, a na mintoenaw koe Devit khopui Jerusalem vah a pakawp awh.
21 Then all the people of Judah appointed Amaziah’s son Uzziah, when he was 16 years old, to be their king
Hahoi Judahnaw pueng ni, kum 16 touh ka phat e Azariah hah a ceikhai awh teh, a na pa Amaziah yueng lah, siangpahrang lah a sak awh.
22 After his father died, Uzziah’s workers captured Elath [city], and it came under the control of Judah again.
Ahni ni Elath kho hah a pathoup teh Judah ram dawk a kâen sak. Hahoi siangpahrang teh a na mintoenaw koe a kâhat.
23 When Amaziah had been ruling Judah for almost 15 years, Jeroboam became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for 41 years.
Judah siangpahrang Joash capa Amaziah siangpahrang lah a onae kum 15 nae dawkvah, Isarel siangpahrang Joash capa, Jeroboam teh Samaria vah siangpahrang lah ao teh, kum 41 touh a uk.
24 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did not stop committing the same kind of sins that Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, committed, sins which led the Israeli people to sin also.
BAWIPA mithmu vah hawihoehnae ouk a sak. Isarel ka payon sakkung, Nebat capa Jeroboam yonnae naw, cettakhai thai awh hoeh.
25 His soldiers conquered again some of the territory that had previously belonged to Israel, from Hamath [city] in the north to the Dead Sea in the south. That is what Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis worshiped, promised the prophet Jonah, the son of Amittai, from Gath-Hepher [town], would happen.
Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ni a san Gathhepher tami Amittai capa profet Jonah hno lahoi lawk a dei e patetlah Hamath kâennae koehoi, Arabah talî totouh Isarel ram lah bout a pakhum awh.
26 That happened because Yahweh saw that [the Israelis’ enemies were causing] the Israelis [to] suffer very much. And there was absolutely no one [IDM] who would help them.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni Isarel a khang awh e naw hah ka pataw poung lah a panue pouh. San thoseh, kahlout e thoseh, Isarelnaw kabawmkung pihai awm hoeh.
27 But Yahweh said that he would not destroy Israel completely, so he enabled King Jeroboam to rescue them.
BAWIPA ni, Isarel min heh, kalvan rahim vah be a pahma han tie teh dei hoeh. Hatei Joash capa Jeroboam hno lahoi letlang a rungngang.
28 [If you want to know more about] everything else that Jeroboam did, [about] his fighting courageously in battles, and [about] his [enabling the Israelis to] capture again Damascus and Hamath [cities], they are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Hot patetlah, Jeroboam e kâroekâkhawinae thung dawk hoi kaawm rae naw teh, a hnosakthainae naw hoi, tarantuknae kong hoi, ha hoehnahlan, Judah ram kapangnaw lah mek touksin e naw, Damaskas hoi Hamath, Isarelnaw han a lanae kongnaw teh, Isarel siangpahrangnaw setouknae cauk dawk pakhum lah ao nahoehmaw.
29 Jeroboam died [EUP], [and was buried] where the other kings of Israel [were buried], and his son Zechariah became the king.
Jeroboam teh a na mintoenaw, Isarel siangpahrangnaw koevah, a kâhat teh, a capa Zekhariah ni ahnie yueng lah a uk.
