2 Chronicles 25
1 A son of twenty and five years hath Amaziah reigned, and twenty and nine years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jehoaddan of Jerusalem,
Amazia xɔ ƒe blaeve vɔ atɔ̃ esi wòzu fia. Eɖu fia le Yerusalem ƒe blaeve vɔ asieke. Dadaa ŋkɔe nye Yehoadin, tso Yerusalem.
2 and he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah — only, not with a perfect heart.
Ewɔa nu si dze Mawu ŋu enuenu gake menye ɣe sia ɣi o!
3 And it cometh to pass, when the kingdom hath been strong upon him, that he slayeth his servants, those smiting the king his father,
Esi wòkpɔ be fiaɖuƒe la li ke ɖe yeƒe asi me la, ewu dumegã siwo katã wu fofoa.
4 and their sons he hath not put to death, but [did] as is written in the law, in the book of Moses, whom Jehovah commanded, saying, 'Fathers do not die for sons, and sons die not for fathers, but each for his own sin they die.'
ke mewu wo viwo ya o. Ewɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe se si wòde woŋlɔ ɖe Mose ƒe segbalẽa me ene be, “Womawu fofowo ɖe wo viwo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta o, nenema ke viwo hã maku ɖe wo fofowo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta o, ke boŋ ele be ame sia ame naku ɖe eya ŋutɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃ ta.”
5 And Amaziah gathereth Judah, and appointeth them, according to the house of the fathers, for heads of the thousands, and for heads of the hundreds, for all Judah and Benjamin; and he inspecteth them from a son of twenty years and upward, and findeth them three hundred thousand chosen ones, going forth to the host, holding spear and target.
Gawu la, Amazia yɔ Yuda katã ƒo ƒu eye wòde dɔ asi na wo le woƒe ƒomeawo nu be, woanye asrafo akpewo kple asrafo alafa ɖekawo ƒe aʋafiawo na Yuda kple Benyamin katã. Emegbe la etia ɖekakpui siwo xɔ ƒe blaeve alo wu nenema eye wokpɔ be woƒe xexlẽme de akpe alafa etɔ̃, wole klalo na asrafodɔ wɔwɔ ame siwo ate ŋu awɔ akplɔ kple akpoxɔnu ŋu dɔ nyuie.
6 And he hireth out of Israel a hundred thousand mighty ones of valour, with a hundred talents of silver;
Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, etsɔ aʋawɔla xɔŋkɔ akpe alafa ɖeka tso Israel kple klosaloga tɔn etɔ̃.
7 and a man of God hath come in unto him, saying, 'O king, the host of Israel doth not go with thee; for Jehovah is not with Israel — all the sons of Ephraim;
Ke nyagblɔɖila aɖe va gblɔ nya si tso Mawu gbɔ la nɛ be, “Oo fia, mègatsɔ aʋawɔlawo tso Israel o elabena Yehowa meli kpli wo o.
8 but if thou art going — do [it], be strong for battle, God doth cause thee to stumble before an enemy, for there is power in God to help, and to cause to stumble.'
Ne èna woyi aʋa la kple wò amewo la, aleke ke miawɔ aʋa lae hã la, woaɖu mia dzi kokoko elabena ŋusẽ le Mawu si be wòakpe ɖe mia ŋu loo alo wòagblẽ nu me na mi.”
9 And Amaziah saith to the man of God, 'And what — to do for the hundred talents that I have given to the troop of Israel?' And the man of God saith, 'Jehovah hath more to give to thee than this.'
Amazia bia Mawu ƒe ame la be, “Klosaloga tɔn etɔ̃ kple afã si mexe ɖe Israel ƒe aʋakɔwo ta ya ɖe?” Mawu ƒe ame la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Yehowa ate ŋu ana ga wò wòasɔ gbɔ sãa wu ema.”
10 And Amaziah separateth them — for the troop that hath come in unto him from Ephraim to go to their own place, and their anger doth burn mightily against Judah, and they turn back to their place in the heat of anger.
Ale Amazia na aʋawɔla siwo wòtsɔ la trɔ dzo yi Efraim. Nu sia na wobu be, Amazia ɖi gbɔ̃ yewo eye wodo dɔmedzoe ɖe eŋuti ŋutɔ.
11 And Amaziah hath strengthened himself, and leadeth his people, and goeth to the Valley of Salt, and smiteth the sons of Seir — ten thousand.
Dzi ɖo Amazia ƒo, ekplɔ eƒe aʋakɔ yi Dze Balime eye wowu ame akpe ewo tso Seir.
12 And ten thousand alive have the sons of Judah taken captive, and they bring them to the top of the rock, and cast them from the top of the rock, and all of them have been broken.
Wolé ame akpe ewo bubu agbagbe, kplɔ wo yi to aɖe tame; wotu asi wo tso afi ma eye woge dze agakpewo dzi le balime la, nuvevi wɔ wo eye woku.
13 And the sons of the troop that Amaziah hath sent back from going with him to battle — they rush against cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Beth-Horon, and smite of them three thousand, and seize much prey.
Israel ƒe aʋakɔ si Amazia gbugbɔ ɖo ɖe aƒe la, ge ɖe Yudanyigba dzi eye woha nu le du geɖewo me le Bet Horon lɔƒo ɖo ta Samaria. Wowu ame akpe etɔ̃ eye woha aboyonu geɖewo.
14 And it cometh to pass, after the coming in of Amaziah from smiting the Edomites, that he bringeth in the gods of the sons of Seir, and establisheth them to him for gods, and before them doth bow himself, and to them he maketh perfume.
Esi Fia Amazia ɖu Edomtɔwo dzi eye wòtrɔ gbɔ la, etsɔ legba siwo woxɔ le Seirtɔwo si la gbɔe. Etsɔ wo ɖo mawuwoe, dea ta agu na wo eye wòdoa dzudzɔ na wo.
15 And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Amaziah, and He sendeth unto him a prophet, and he saith unto him, 'Why hast thou sought the gods of the people that have not delivered their people out of thy hand?'
Nu sia do dɔmedzoe na Yehowa ŋutɔ, eya ta wòɖo nyagblɔɖila aɖe ɖa be wòabia Amazia be, “Nu ka ta nèsubɔ mawu siwo mete ŋu ɖe woawo ŋutɔ ƒe amewo tso wò asi me o ɖo?”
16 And it cometh to pass, in his speaking unto him, that he saith to him, 'For a counsellor to the king have we appointed thee? cease for thee; why do they smite thee?' And the prophet ceaseth, and saith, 'I have known that God hath counselled to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened to my counsel.'
Fia Amazia ɖo eŋu na nyagblɔɖila la be, “Ɣe ka ɣie mebia wò aɖaŋuɖoɖo kpɔ? Zi ɖoɖoe kaba, ne menye nenema o la, mana woawu wò.” Esi nyagblɔɖila la dzo yina la, egblɔ na Fia Amazia be, “Menya be Mawu ɖo ta me be yeatsrɔ̃ wò le esi nèsubɔ legba siawo eye mèse nye nuxlɔ̃amenya o la ta.”
17 And Amaziah king of Judah taketh counsel, and sendeth unto Joash son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying,
Azɔ la, Yuda fia, Amazia, se eƒe aɖaŋuɖolawo ƒe gbe eye wòho aʋa ɖe Israel fia, Yoas, Yehoahaz ƒe vi kple Yehu ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi ŋu.
18 'Come, we look one another in the face.' And Joash king of Israel sendeth unto Amaziah king of Judah, saying, 'The thorn that [is] in Lebanon hath sent unto the cedar that [is] in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son for a wife; and pass by doth a beast of the field that [is] in Lebanon, and treadeth down the thorn.
Fia Yoas do lo sia na Amazia be, “Ŋuve sue aɖe le Lebanon towo dzi gblɔ na sedati be, ‘Tsɔ viwò nyɔnu nam maɖe na vinye ŋutsu.’ Le ɣe ma ɣi tututu la, lã wɔadã aɖe va nye avuzi le ŋuve la dzi eye wògbãe ɖe anyigba.
19 Thou hast said, Lo, I have smitten Edom; and thy heart hath lifted thee up to boast; now, abide in thy house, why dost thou stir thyself up in evil, that thou hast fallen, thou, and Judah with thee?'
Èle gbɔgblɔm na ɖokuiwò be yeɖu Edomtɔwo dzi eye wònye adegbeƒoƒo gã aɖe na wò. Ke aɖaŋu si maɖo na wò lae nye nàkpɔ ŋudzedze le wò dziɖuɖu ŋu eye nànɔ mia de kpoo! Nu ka ta nàhe dzɔgbevɔ̃e va ɖokuiwò kple Yuda siaa dzi?”
20 And Amaziah hath not hearkened, for from God it [is] in order to give them into hand, because they have sought the gods of Edom;
Amazia meɖo to nya sia o elabena Mawu nɔ ɖoɖo wɔm be yeatsrɔ̃e le esi wòde ta agu na Edomtɔwo ƒe mawuwo ta.
21 and go up doth Joash king of Israel, and they look one another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, in Beth-Shemesh, that [is] Judah's,
Israel fia Yoas kple Amazia ƒe aʋakɔwo do go le Bet Semes le Yuda.
22 and Judah is smitten before Israel, and they flee — each to his tents.
Ke Israel si Yuda eye eƒe aʋakɔ katã si yi aƒe.
23 And Amaziah king of Judah, son of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, hath Joash king of Israel caught in Beth-Shemesh, and bringeth him in to Jerusalem, and breaketh down in the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits,
Israel fia Yehoas lé Amazia, Yuda fia, ame si nye Yoas ƒe vi, Ahazia ƒe vi le Bet Semes. Tete Yehoas kplɔe va Yerusalem eye wògbã Yerusalem ƒe gliwo ƒu anyi tso Efraimgbo la nu va se ɖe Dzogoedzigbo la gbɔ. Teƒe si wògbã la didi abe mita alafa ɖeka blaenyi ene.
24 and [taketh] all the gold, and the silver, and all the vessels that are found in the house of God with Obed-Edom, and the treasures of the house of the king, and the sons of the pledges, and turneth back to Samaria.
Eye wòlɔ sika kple klosalowo katã kpakple ŋudɔwɔnuawo katã le Obed Edom si me le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me le hekpe ɖe kesinɔnu siwo katã nɔ fiasã la me kple awɔbamewo ŋuti yi Samaria.
25 And Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, liveth after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years;
Ke Yuda fia Amazia, Yoas vi, nɔ agbe ƒe wuiatɔ̃ le Israel fia Yehoas, Yehoahaz vi ƒe ku megbe.
26 and the rest of the matters of Amaziah, the first and the last, lo, are they not written on the books of the kings of Judah and Israel?
Woŋlɔ Amazia ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa ɖe Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
27 And from the time that Amaziah hath turned aside from after Jehovah — they make a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fleeth to Lachish, and they send after him to Lachish, and put him to death there,
Tso esime wòtrɔ le Yehowa yome la, woɖo nugbe ɖe eƒe agbe ŋu le Yerusalem ale wòsi yi Lakis, ke eƒe futɔwo dɔ ame ɖa woyi Lakis ɖawui le afi ma.
28 and lift him up on the horses, and bury him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
Wokɔ eƒe kukua ɖe sɔwo dzi va ɖi ɖe fiawo ƒe ameɖibɔ me le Yerusalem ƒe akpa si nye Fia David ƒe du la me.
