2 Kings 14
1 After Jehoash had been ruling Israel for almost two years, Joash’s son Amaziah became the king of Judah.
Ní ọdún kejì tí Jehoaṣi ọmọ Joahasi ọba Israẹli, Amasiah ọmọ Joaṣi ọba Juda bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní jẹ ọba.
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.
Ó jẹ́ ọmọ 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.
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.
Ó ṣe ohun tí ó tọ́ ní ojú Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe bí i Dafidi baba a rẹ̀ tí ṣe. Nínú ohun gbogbo, ó tẹ̀lé àpẹẹrẹ baba a rẹ̀ Joaṣi.
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].
Àwọn ibi gíga bí ó ti wù kí ó rí, a kò sí i kúrò, àwọn ènìyàn sì tẹ̀síwájú láti rú ẹbọ àti sun tùràrí níbẹ̀.
5 As soon as he was completely in control of his kingdom, he caused to be executed the officials who had murdered his father.
Lẹ́yìn tí ó ti fi ọwọ́ gbá ìjọba rẹ̀ mú gbọingbọin, ó pa àwọn oníṣẹ́ tí wọ́n ti pa baba a rẹ̀ ọba.
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].”
Síbẹ̀ kò pa ọmọ àwọn apànìyàn náà. Ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú ohun tí a kọ sínú ìwé òfin Mose níbi tí Olúwa ti paláṣẹ pé, “A kì yóò pa baba nítorí àwọn ọmọ, tàbí àwọn ọmọ nítorí àwọn baba; olúkúlùkù ni kí ó kú fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀.”
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.
Òun ni ẹni tí ó ṣẹ́gun ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá ará Edomu ní àfonífojì iyọ̀, ó sì fi agbára mú Sela nínú ogun, tí ó ń pè é ní Jokteeli, orúkọ tí ó ní títí di òní.
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to King Jehoash of Israel, saying “Come here and let’s talk together.”
Nígbà náà, Amasiah rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ sí Jehoaṣi ọmọ Jehoahasi ọmọ Jehu ọba Israẹli pẹ̀lú ìpèníjà: “Wá, jẹ́ kí á wo ara wa ní ojú.”
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n Jehoaṣi ọba Israẹli fèsì sí Amasiah ọba Juda: “Òṣùṣú kan ní Lebanoni rán iṣẹ́ sí kedari ní Lebanoni, ‘Fi ọmọbìnrin rẹ fún ọmọkùnrin mi ní ìgbéyàwó.’ Nígbà náà ẹranko ẹlẹ́sẹ̀ mẹ́rin tinú igbó ní Lebanoni wá pẹ̀lú ó sì fi ẹsẹ̀ tẹ òṣùṣú náà mọ́lẹ̀.
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.”
Ìwọ ti ṣẹ́gun Edomu pẹ̀lú, ṣùgbọ́n, nísinsin yìí ìwọ ṣe ìgbéraga. Ògo nínú ìṣẹ́gun rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n dúró nílé! Kí ni ó dé tí o fi ń wá wàhálà tí o sì fa ìṣubú rẹ àti ti Juda pẹ̀lú?”
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.
Bí ó ti wù kí ó rí Amasiah kò ní tẹ́tí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Jehoaṣi ọba Israẹli sì dojúkọ ọ́. Òun àti Amasiah ọba Juda kọjú sí ara wọn ní Beti-Ṣemeṣi ní Juda.
12 The Israeli army defeated the army of Judah, and all the soldiers of Judah fled and ran back home.
A kó ipa ọ̀nà Juda nípasẹ̀ Israẹli, gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin sì sálọ sí ilé e rẹ̀.
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.
Jehoaṣi ọba Israẹli fi agbára mú Amasiah ọba Juda, ọmọ Jehoaṣi, ọmọ Ahasiah ní Beti-Ṣemeṣi. Nígbà náà, Jehoaṣi lọ sí Jerusalẹmu, ó sì lọ wó odi Jerusalẹmu lulẹ̀ láti ìlẹ̀kùn Efraimu sí ibi igun ìlẹ̀kùn. Ìpín kan tí ó fẹ́rẹ̀ jẹ́ irinwó ìgbọ̀nwọ́.
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.
Ó mú gbogbo wúrà àti fàdákà àti gbogbo ohun tí ó rí nínú ilé tí a kọ́ fún Olúwa àti níbi ìfowópamọ́ sí nínú ààfin ọba. Ó mú àwọn ògo, ó sì dá wọn padà sí Samaria.
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’.
Fún ti ìyókù iṣẹ́ nígbà ìjọba Jehoaṣi, gbogbo ohun tí ó ṣe pẹ̀lú àṣeyọrí rẹ̀, pẹ̀lú ogun rẹ̀ sí Amasiah ọba Juda, ṣé a kò kọ wọ́n sí inú ìwé ìtàn ayé àwọn ọba Israẹli?
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.
Jehoaṣi sì sinmi pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀, a sì sin ín sí Samaria pẹ̀lú àwọn ọba Israẹli. Jeroboamu ọmọ rẹ̀ sì rọ́pò rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba.
17 Amaziah, the king of Judah, lived for 15 more years after Jehoash, the king of Israel, died.
Amasiah ọmọ Joaṣi ọba Juda gbé fún ọdún mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún lẹ́yìn ikú Jehoaṣi ọmọ Jehoahasi ọba Israẹli.
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’.
Fún ti ìyókù iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ nígbà ìjọba Amasiah, ṣé a kò kọ wọ́n sínú ìwé ìtàn ayé àwọn ọba Juda?
19 Some people in Jerusalem plotted against Amaziah, so he fled to Lachish [city]. But they followed him there and killed him.
Wọ́n dìtẹ̀ sí i ní Jerusalẹmu, ó sì sálọ sí Lakiṣi, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n rán àwọn ọkùnrin tẹ̀lé e sí Lakiṣi, wọ́n sì pa á síbẹ̀.
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’.
Wọ́n gbé e padà pẹ̀lú ẹṣin, a sì sin ín sí Jerusalẹmu pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀, ní ìlú ńlá ti Dafidi.
21 Then all the people of Judah appointed Amaziah’s son Uzziah, when he was 16 years old, to be their king
Nígbà náà, gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn Juda mú Asariah tí ó jẹ́ ọmọ ọdún mẹ́rìndínlógún. Wọ́n sì ṣe é ní ọba ní ìrọ́pò baba rẹ̀ Amasiah.
22 After his father died, Uzziah’s workers captured Elath [city], and it came under the control of Judah again.
Òun ni ẹni tí ó tún Elati kọ́, ó sì dá a padà sí Juda lẹ́yìn tí Amasiah ti sinmi pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀.
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.
Ní ọdún kẹ́ẹ̀dógún tí Amasiah ọmọ Joaṣi ọba Juda, Jeroboamu ọmọ Jehoaṣi ọba Israẹli di ọba ní Samaria, ó sì jẹ ọba fún ọ̀kànlélógójì ọdún.
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.
Ó ṣe búburú ní ojú Olúwa kò sì yípadà kúrò nínú ọ̀kankan nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ Jeroboamu ọmọ Nebati. Èyí tí ó ti fa Israẹli láti dá.
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.
Òun ni ẹni tí ó ti dá àwọn ààlà Israẹli padà láti Lebo-Hamati sí òkú aginjù. Ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, tí ó sọ nípasẹ̀ ìránṣẹ́ Jona ọmọ Amittai, wòlíì láti Gati-Heferi.
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.
Olúwa ti rí ìpọ́njú Israẹli pé, ó korò gidigidi, nítorí kò sí ẹrú tàbí òmìnira tàbí olùrànlọ́wọ́ kan fún Israẹli.
27 But Yahweh said that he would not destroy Israel completely, so he enabled King Jeroboam to rescue them.
Láti ìgbà tí Olúwa kò ti wí pé òhun yóò bu àbùkù lu orúkọ Israẹli láti abẹ́ ọ̀run. Ó gbà wọ́n là, lọ́wọ́ Jeroboamu ọmọ Jehoaṣi.
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’.
Fún ti ìyókù iṣẹ́ ìjọba Jeroboamu, gbogbo ohun tí ó ṣe àti gbogbo àwọn agbára rẹ, bí ó ti jagun sí, àti bí ó ti gba Damasku àti Hamati, tí í ṣe ti Juda, padà fún Israẹli, a kò ha kọ wọ́n sínú ìwé ìtàn ayé àwọn ọba Israẹli?
29 Jeroboam died [EUP], [and was buried] where the other kings of Israel [were buried], and his son Zechariah became the king.
Jeroboamu sinmi pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀, àwọn ọba Israẹli Sekariah ọmọ rẹ̀ sì rọ́pò rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba.
