2 Kings 14
1 After Jehoash had been ruling Israel for almost two years, Joash’s son Amaziah became the king of Judah.
In yac akluo ke pacl Jehoash wen natul Jehoahaz el tokosra in Israel, Amaziah wen natul Joash el tokosrala lun Judah
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.
ke el yac longoul limekosr, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac longoul eu. Nina kial pa Jehoaddin, sie mutan Jerusalem.
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.
Amaziah el oru ma LEUM GOD El insewowo kac, tusruktu el tia oana Tokosra David, papa matu tumal ah, a el oru oana ma Joash, papa tumal, el tuh oru.
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].
El tiana ikruiya nien alu lun mwet pegan, ac mwet uh srakna orek kisa ac akosak mwe keng we.
5 As soon as he was completely in control of his kingdom, he caused to be executed the officials who had murdered his father.
Ke Amaziah el eis tari ku nukewa in tokosrai lal, el onela mwet pwapa ma tuh uniya papa tumal, su tokosra in pacl sac.
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].”
Tusruktu el tiana onela tulik natulos, a el fahsr tukun ma LEUM GOD El sapkin in Ma Sap lal Moses su fahk: “Papa ac nina ac fah tia anwuki ke ma koluk lun tulik natulos, ac tulik ac fah tia anwuki ke ma koluk lun papa ku nina. Mwet se ac fah anwuki ke ma koluk ma el sifacna orala.”
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.
Amaziah el uniya singoul tausin mwet mweun lun Edom Ke Infahlfal Sohl, ac el sruokya siti Sela ke mweun. El pangon inen siti sac Joktheel, ac ine se inge srakna orekmakinyuk nwe misenge.
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to King Jehoash of Israel, saying “Come here and let’s talk together.”
Na Amaziah el supwala mwet utuk kas nu yorol Tokosra Jehoash lun Israel in purakul elan mweun.
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.
Tusruktu Tokosra Jehoash el supwala top se inge nu sel: “Sie pacl ah, soko sak kokul ma kapak Fineol Lebanon el supwala sie kas nu sin sak cedar soko ac fahk, ‘Use acn nutum an in marut nu sin wen nutik uh.’ Na kosro lemnak soko fahsryak in acn sac, ac lolongya kokul soko ah, ac kunausla.
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.”
Inge Amaziah, kom kutangla mwet Edom, ac kom arulana insefulatak kac. Lela kom in falkin wo ouiya nu sum, ac mutana in acn sum an. Efu ku kom orek purakak su ma ac kunauskomla ac mwet lom an?”
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.
Tuh Amaziah el srangesr lohng, ouinge Tokosra Jehoash ac mwet lal ah illa in mweun lainul in acn Beth Shemesh in Judah.
12 The Israeli army defeated the army of Judah, and all the soldiers of Judah fled and ran back home.
Mwet mweun lal Amaziah kutangyukla, ac elos nukewa kaingla nu yen selos.
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.
Jehoash el sruokilya Amaziah ac usalla sie mwet sruoh, na el utyak nu Jerusalem ac rakinya pot ke siti uh, mutawauk ke Mutunpot Ephraim lac nwe ke Mutunpot Insruwasrik. Lusen acn musalla inge oasr ke yact luofoko.
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.
El eis silver ac gold nukewa ma el ku in konauk, ac kufwa nukewa in Tempul, ac mwe kasrup nukewa inkul sin tokosra, ac elos us ma inge folokla nu Samaria. Ac el oayapa us mwet ma el sruokya ke mweun ah welul.
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’.
Ma nukewa saya su Jehoash el orala, weang pulaik lal ke el mweun lainul Tokosra Amaziah lun Judah, simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Israel].
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 el misa ac pukpuki inkulyuk lun tokosra in Samaria, ac Jeroboam Akluo, wen natul, el aolul in tokosra.
17 Amaziah, the king of Judah, lived for 15 more years after Jehoash, the king of Israel, died.
Tokosra Amaziah lun Judah el moul yac singoul limekosr tukun misa lal Tokosra Jehoash lun Israel.
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’.
Ma nukewa saya ma Amaziah el orala simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Judah].
19 Some people in Jerusalem plotted against Amaziah, so he fled to Lachish [city]. But they followed him there and killed him.
Oasr sie pwapa lukma orek in acn Jerusalem in anwuki Amaziah, na el kaingla nu ke siti Lachish, ac mwet lokoalok lal ukwalla nwe we ac unilya.
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’.
Manol folokinyukla nu Jerusalem fin horse soko, ac pukpuki inkulyuk lun tokosra in Siti sel David.
21 Then all the people of Judah appointed Amaziah’s son Uzziah, when he was 16 years old, to be their king
Na mwet Judah elos akleumyalak Uzziah, wen natul Amaziah, tuh elan tokosrala ke el yac singoul onkosr.
22 After his father died, Uzziah’s workers captured Elath [city], and it came under the control of Judah again.
Tukun papa tumal ah misa, Uzziah el sruokya siti Elath ac sifilpa musaela.
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.
In yac aksingoul limekosr ke pacl Amaziah, wen natul Joash, el tokosra lun Judah, Jeroboam wen natul Jehoash el tokosrala lun Israel, ac el leum in Samaria ke yac angngaul sie.
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.
El orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD. ac fahsr tukun srikasrak koluk lal Tokosra Jeroboam wen natul Nebat, su tokosra meet lukel ac su kolla mwet Israel in oru ma koluk.
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.
El sifilpa sruokya acn nukewa ma tuh lun Israel meet, su fahla ke Innek In Utyak Nu Hamath layen nu epang lac nwe ke Meoa Misa layen nu eir. Pa inge ma LEUM GOD lun Israel El tuh wuleang kac nu sin mwet kulansap lal, Jonah wen natul Amittai, su mwet palu in Gath Hepher.
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.
LEUM GOD El liye keok upa lun mwet Israel, ac wanginna sie mwet ku in kasrelos.
27 But Yahweh said that he would not destroy Israel completely, so he enabled King Jeroboam to rescue them.
Tusruktu tia ma lungse lun LEUM GOD pa in arulana kunausla Israel nwe tok, ouinge El molelosla kacl Tokosra Jeroboam Akluo.
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’.
Ma nukewa saya ma Jeroboam Akluo el orala, wi pulaik lal ke mweun, ac ke el folokonang acn Damascus ac Hamath nu sin Israel, ma inge nukewa simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Israel].
29 Jeroboam died [EUP], [and was buried] where the other kings of Israel [were buried], and his son Zechariah became the king.
Jeroboam el misa ac pukpuki inkulyuk lun tokosra, ac Zechariah wen natul, el aolul in tokosra.
