2 Kings 14
1 After Jehoash had been ruling Israel for almost two years, Joash’s son Amaziah became the king of Judah.
Bara mootummaa Yooʼaash ilma Yooʼaahaaz mooticha Israaʼel keessa waggaa lammaffaatti Amasiyaa ilmi Iyooʼas mootii Yihuudaa taʼee bulchuu jalqabe.
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.
Inni yeroo mootii taʼetti nama waggaa digdamii shan ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa digdamii sagal ni bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Yoʼaadaan ture; isheenis nama Yerusaalem turte.
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.
Innis waan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti qajeelaa taʼe ni hojjete. Garuu akka abbaa isaa Daawititti miti. Inni waan hunda keessatti fakkeenya abbaa isaa Yooʼaash duukaa buʼe.
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].
Taʼus iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa hin diigamne ture; namoonni ittuma fufanii aarsaa dhiʼeessaa, ixaanas achitti aarsaa turan.
5 As soon as he was completely in control of his kingdom, he caused to be executed the officials who had murdered his father.
Inni erga jabeessee harka isaatti mootummaa qabatee booddee qondaaltota abbaa isaa mooticha ajjeesan sana fixe.
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].”
Taʼus inni akka waan Kitaaba Seera Musee keessatti barreeffame kan Waaqayyo, “Abbootiin sababii ijoollee isaaniitiif ajjeefamuu hin qaban yookaan ijoolleen sababii abbootii isaaniitiif ajjeefamuu hin qaban; tokkoon tokkoon namaa sababii cubbuu ofii isaatiif duʼa” jedhee ajaje sanaatti ilmaan warra nama ajjeesan sanaa hin fixne.
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.
Namni Sulula Soogiddaa keessatti Edoomota kuma kudhan moʼatee waraanaan Seelaa qabate kan maqaa isheen hamma harʼaatti ittiin waamamtu, Yoqtiʼeel jedhee moggaases isuma.
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to King Jehoash of Israel, saying “Come here and let’s talk together.”
Amasiyaanis, “Kottu mee waraana keessatti wal ilaallaa” jedhee qoosee gara Yooʼaash ilma Yehooʼaahaaz, ilma Yehuu, mooticha Israaʼelitti ergamoota erge.
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.
Yooʼaash mootichi Israaʼel garuu akkana jedhee Amasiyaa mooticha Yihuudaatiif deebii kenne; “Sokorruun Libaanoon keessaa tokko ergaa ergee birbirsaa Libaanooniin, ‘Intala kee ilma kootti heerumsiisi’ jedhe. Ergasii bineensi bosona Libaanoon keessaa tokko dhufee sokorruu sana irra miilaan deeme.
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.”
Ati dhugumaan Edoomin moʼattee amma of tuulaa jirta. Moʼannoo keetiin gammadi; amma garuu mana kee taaʼi! Ati maaliif rakkina barbaaddee ofii keetii fi Yihuudaattis kufaatii fidda?”
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.
Amasiyaa garuu dhagaʼuu dide; kanaafuu Yooʼaash mootichi Israaʼel kaʼee lola bane. Innii fi Amasiyaa mootichi Yihuudaa keessatti Beet Shemeshitti walitti baʼan.
12 The Israeli army defeated the army of Judah, and all the soldiers of Judah fled and ran back home.
Warri Yihuudaas warra Israaʼeliin moʼatamanii tokkoon tokkoon namaas gara mana ofii isaatti baqate.
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.
Yooʼaash mootichi Israaʼel, Amasiyaa mooticha Yihuudaa ilma Iyooʼas ilma Ahaaziyaa sana Beet Shemeshitti qabe. Iyooʼasis gara Yerusaalem dhaqee Karra Efreemiitii jalqabee hamma Karra Goleetti dallaa Yerusaalem kan dhagaa sana diige; kutaan diigame kun dhundhuma dhibba afur lafa irra dheerata ture.
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.
Innis warqee fi meetii hunda akkasumas miʼa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti argamuu fi kan kuusaa qabeenya masaraa mootummaa keessaa jiru hunda fudhate; namoota boojiʼe illee fudhatee gara Samaariyaatti deebiʼe.
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’.
Wantoonni bara mootummaa Yooʼaash keessa hojjetaman kanneen biraa, wanni inni hojjetee fi jabinni isaa, waraana inni Amasiyaa mooticha Yihuudaatiin loles dabalatee kitaaba seenaa mootota Israaʼel keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii?
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.
Yooʼaashis abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee mootota Israaʼel biratti Samaariyaa keessatti awwaalame. Ilmi isaa Yerobiʼaam iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
17 Amaziah, the king of Judah, lived for 15 more years after Jehoash, the king of Israel, died.
Amasiyaa ilmi Yooʼaash mootichi Yihuudaa erga Yooʼaash ilmi Yehooʼaahaaz mootichi Israaʼel duʼee booddee waggaa kudha shan jiraate.
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’.
Wantoonni bara mootummaa Amasiyaa keessa hojjetaman kanneen biraa kitaaba seenaa mootota Yihuudaa keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii?
19 Some people in Jerusalem plotted against Amaziah, so he fled to Lachish [city]. But they followed him there and killed him.
Isaan Yerusaalem keessatti isatti malatan; innis gara Laakkiishitti baqate; isaan immoo faanuma isaa Laakkiishitti namoota erganii achitti isa ajjeesan.
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’.
Reeffi isaas fardatti feʼamee dhufee abbootii isaa biratti Yerusaalem keessatti Magaalaa Daawititti awwaalame.
21 Then all the people of Judah appointed Amaziah’s son Uzziah, when he was 16 years old, to be their king
Ergasii warri Yihuudaa hundinuu Azaariyaa mucaa waggaa kudha jaʼaa fuudhanii iddoo abbaa Amasiyaa sana mootii godhatan.
22 After his father died, Uzziah’s workers captured Elath [city], and it came under the control of Judah again.
Namni erga Amasiyaa abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee booddee Eelaatin deebisee ijaaree warra Yihuudaatti kenne isa.
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.
Bara Amasiyaa ilma Yooʼaash mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa kudha shanaffaatti Yerobiʼaam ilmi Iyooʼas mooticha Israaʼel Samaariyaa keessatti mootii taʼe; innis waggaa afurtamii tokko bulche.
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.
Inni fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjete; cubbuu Yerobiʼaam ilma Nebaat kan inni akka warri Israaʼel hojjetan godhe sana irraas hin deebine.
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.
Namni akkuma dubbii Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel kan inni karaa garbicha isaa Yoonaas ilma Amitaayi, raajicha Gat Heeferii dhufee sanaatiin dubbateetti daarii biyya Israaʼel Leeboo Hamaatii jalqabee hamma Galaana Arabbaatti iddootti deebise isa ture.
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.
Waaqayyo akka tokkoon tokkoon nama Israaʼel keessa jiraatuu, garbas taʼu birmaduun akka malee rakkachaa jiru arge; namni isaan gargaaru tokko iyyuu hin turre.
27 But Yahweh said that he would not destroy Israel completely, so he enabled King Jeroboam to rescue them.
Waaqayyos waan maqaa Israaʼel samii jalaa nan balleessa hin jedhiniif harka Yerobiʼaam ilma Yooʼaashiitiin isaan baase.
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’.
Wantoonni bara mootummaa Yerobiʼaam keessa hojjetaman biraa, wanni inni hojjete hundi, jabinni loltummaa isaa, akka inni itti Damaasqoo fi Hamaati kanneen duraan Yihuudaa jala turan sana Israaʼeliif deebisee dabalatee kitaaba seenaa mootota Israaʼel keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii?
29 Jeroboam died [EUP], [and was buried] where the other kings of Israel [were buried], and his son Zechariah became the king.
Yerobiʼaam abbootii isaa mootota Israaʼel wajjin boqote; ilmi isaa Zakkaariyaas iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
