2 Kings 14
1 In the second year of Joash, son of Joahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah began to reign.
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa keerĩ wa ũthamaki wa Jehoashu mũrũ wa Jehoahazu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, Amazia mũrũ wa Joashu mũthamaki wa Juda akĩambĩrĩria gũthamaka.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.
Aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ kũu Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na kenda. Nake nyina eetagwo Jehoadini, na oimĩte Jerusalemu.
3 He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, yet not like David his father. He did according to all that Joash his father had done.
Nĩekire maũndũ marĩa moonagwo magĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, no ti ta ũrĩa ithe Daudi eekĩte. Maũndũ-inĩ mothe eekire o ta ũrĩa ithe Joashu ekaga.
4 However the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.
No rĩrĩ, kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gũtieheririo; andũ maathiire o na mbere kũrutĩra magongona na gũcinĩra ũbumba kuo.
5 As soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, he killed his servants who had slain the king his father,
Thuutha wa ũthamaki gũkorwo ũrũmĩte moko-inĩ make, akĩũraga anene arĩa moragĩte ithe Joashu ũrĩa warĩ mũthamaki.
6 but the children of the murderers he didn’t put to death, according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as the LORD commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.”
No rĩrĩ, ndaigana kũũraga ariũ a oragani acio, kũringana na ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo Ibuku-inĩ rĩa Watho wa Musa harĩa Jehova aathanĩte atĩrĩ: “Maithe ma ciana matikooragwo nĩ ũndũ wa ciana, o na kana ciana ciũragwo nĩ ũndũ wa maithe mao; o mũndũ arĩkuaga nĩ ũndũ wa mehia make mwene.”
7 He killed ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt, and took Sela by war, and called its name Joktheel, to this day.
Ningĩ nĩwe wahootire 10,000 cia andũ a Edomu kũu Gĩtuamba-inĩ gĩa Cumbĩ, na agĩtunyana itũũra rĩa Sela mbaara-inĩ, akĩrĩtua Jokitheeli, rĩĩtwa rĩrĩa rĩĩtagwo nginya ũmũthĩ.
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let’s look one another in the face.”
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Amazia agĩtũma andũ kũrĩ Jehoashu mũrũ wa Jehoahazu mũrũ wa Jehu, mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ “Ũka tũngʼethanĩre ũthiũ kwa ũthiũ.”
9 Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as wife.’ Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled down the thistle.
No rĩrĩ, Jehoashu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩcookeria Amazia mũthamaki wa Juda atĩrĩ: “Mahiũ ma nyeki-inĩ ma kũu Lebanoni nĩmatũmĩire mũtarakwa ndũmĩrĩri o kũu Lebanoni makĩwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Heana mwarĩguo ahikio nĩ mũrũ wakwa.’ Hĩndĩ ĩyo nyamũ ya gĩthaka kũu Lebanoni ĩgĩũka ĩkĩrangĩrĩria mahiũ macio ma nyeki-inĩ na makinya mayo.
10 You have indeed struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Enjoy the glory of it, and stay at home; for why should you meddle to your harm, that you fall, even you, and Judah with you?”
Ti-itherũ nĩũtooretie Edomu, na rĩu nĩũtuĩkĩte mwĩtĩĩi. Wĩgaathe nĩ ũndũ wa ũhootani waku, no ikara mũciĩ! Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma wĩrehere thĩĩna, wĩniinithie we mwene, o hamwe na andũ a Juda?”
11 But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
O na kũrĩ ũguo, Amazia ndaigana gũthikĩrĩria; nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehoashu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩmũtharĩkĩra. We na Amazia mũthamaki wa Juda makĩngʼethanĩra kũu Bethi-Shemeshu thĩinĩ wa Juda.
12 Judah was defeated by Israel; and each man fled to his tent.
Andũ a Juda makĩhũũrwo nĩ andũ a Isiraeli, na o mũndũ akĩũrĩra gwake mũciĩ.
13 Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh and came to Jerusalem, then broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
Nake Jehoashu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩnyiita Amazia mũthamaki wa Juda mũrũ wa Joashu mũrũ wa Ahazia, o kũu Bethi-Shemeshu. Ningĩ Jehoashu agĩthiĩ Jerusalemu na akĩmomora rũthingo rwa Jerusalemu, kuuma Kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa Efiraimu nginya Kĩhingo gĩa Koine, handũ ha buti ta magana matandatũ kũraiha.
14 He took all the gold and silver and all the vessels that were found in the LORD’s house and in the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
Nake akĩoya thahabu yothe na betha na indo ciothe iria ciarĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Jehova na iria ciarĩ igĩĩna-inĩ cia nyũmba ya ũthamaki. Ningĩ agĩtaha andũ na agĩcooka Samaria.
15 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Jehoashu, na marĩa eekire, na marĩa aahingirie, o hamwe na mbaara yake ĩrĩa maarũire na Amazia mũthamaki wa Juda-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Isiraeli?
16 Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his place.
Jehoashu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, agĩthikwo Samaria hamwe na athamaki a Isiraeli. Nake mũriũ Jeroboamu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
17 Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years.
Amazia mũrũ wa Joashu mũthamaki wa Juda aatũũrire muoyo mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtano thuutha wa gĩkuũ kĩa Jehoashu mũrũ wa Jehoahazu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ ma wathani wa Amazia, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Juda?
19 They made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.
Nao andũ makĩgĩa ndundu ya kũmũũkĩrĩra kũu Jerusalemu, nake Amazia akĩũrĩra Lakishi, no magĩtũma andũ mamũrũmĩrĩre kũu Lakishi, na makĩmũũragĩra kuo.
20 They brought him on horses, and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in David’s city.
Nĩacookirio akuuĩtwo na mbarathi, agĩthikwo Jerusalemu hamwe na maithe make, itũũra-inĩ inene rĩa Daudi.
21 All the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ othe a Juda makĩoya Azaria arĩ na mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtandatũ, makĩmũtua mũthamaki ithenya rĩa ithe Amazia.
22 He built Elath and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his fathers.
Nĩwe waakire Elathu rĩngĩ, na akĩrĩcookeria Juda thuutha wa Amazia kũhurũka na maithe make.
23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria for forty-one years.
Mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ĩtano wa wathani wa Amazia mũrũ wa Joashu mũthamaki wa Juda, Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Jehoashu, mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩtuĩka mũthamaki kũu Samaria, na agĩthamaka mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna na ũmwe.
24 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight. He didn’t depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
Nĩekire maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, na ndaatiganire na mehia o na mamwe ma Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati marĩa aatũmĩte Isiraeli meehie.
25 He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, according to the LORD, the God of Israel’s word, which he spoke by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was from Gath Hepher.
Nĩwe wacookirie mĩhaka ya Isiraeli kuuma Lebo-Hamathu nginya Iria-inĩ rĩa Araba kũringana na kiugo kĩa Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli kĩrĩa kĩarĩtio nĩ ndungata yake Jona mũrũ wa Amitai, ũrĩa warĩ mũnabii kuuma Gathi-Heferi.
26 For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter for all, slave and free; and there was no helper for Israel.
Jehova nĩonete ruo rũnene rwa andũ othe a Isiraeli, arĩa maarĩ ngombo na arĩa mataarĩ ngombo, akĩona ũrĩa maathĩĩnĩkĩte, na gũtiarĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wa kũmateithia.
27 The LORD didn’t say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the sky; but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
Na tondũ Jehova ndoigĩte atĩ nĩegũtharia rĩĩtwa rĩa Isiraeli gũkũ thĩ-rĩ, nĩamahonokirie na guoko kwa Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Jehoashu.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he fought, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, for Israel, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Jeroboamu, ũrĩa wothe eekire, o na mbaara iria aahootanire, o na ũrĩa aatunyanĩire Isiraeli matũũra ma Dameski na Hamathu, marĩa maarĩ ma Juda tene-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Isiraeli?
29 Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his place.
Jeroboamu nĩahurũkire hamwe na maithe make, o acio maarĩ athamaki a Isiraeli. Nake mũriũ Zekaria agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
