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,

E rua tekau ma rima nga tau o Amatia i tona kingitanga, a e rua tekau ma iwa nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama: a ko te ingoa hoki o tona whaea, ko Iehoarana, no Hiruharama.

2 and he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah — only, not with a perfect heart.

Na he tika tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, engari kihai i tapatahi te ngakau

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,

A, ka pumau tona kingitanga, katahi ka whakamatea e ia ana tangata, nana nei i patu tona papa, te kingi.

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.'

Ko a raua tama ia kihai i whakamatea; engari i rite tana ki te mea i tuhituhia i te ture i te pukapuka a Mohi, ki ta Ihowa i whakahau ra, Kaua nga matua e mate mo to nga tamariki; kaua hoki nga tamariki e mate mo to nga matua; engari me mate tene i mo tona hara, tenei mo tona hara.

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.

Na i huihuia hoki e Amatia a Hura, a whakaritea ana he rangatira mano, he rangatira rau mo nga whare o o ratou matua, puta noa i a Hura katoa raua ko Pineamine. A taua ana ratou e ia, te hunga e rua tekau, he maha ake hoki, nga tau, a ka kitea e toru rau mano, whiriwhiri rawa, he hunga haere ki te whawhai, he hunga hapai i te tao, i te whakangungu rakau.

6 And he hireth out of Israel a hundred thousand mighty ones of valour, with a hundred talents of silver;

I utua ano hoki e ia etahi o Iharaira, kotahi rau mano, he marohirohi, he maia, kotahi rau taranata hiriwa.

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;

Na, ko te taenga mai o tetahi tangata a te Atua ki a ia, ka mea E te kingi, kaua te taua a Iharaira e haere tahi koutou, no te mea kahore a Ihowa i a Iharaira, ara i nga tama katoa a Eparaima.

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.'

Otiia ki te haere koe, kia toa, kia kaha ki te whawhai; ma Ihowa ano koe e turaki i te aroaro o te hoariri; he kaha hoki to te Atua ki te awhina, ki te turaki.

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.'

Na ka mea atu a Amatia ki te tangata a te Atua, Ha, me pehea nga taranata kotahi rau i hoatu e ahau ki te taua a Iharaira? Ano ra ko te tangata a te Atua, E ahei ana i te Atua te homai ki a koe kia rahi noa ake i tenei.

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.

Katahi ratou ka wehea atu e Amatia, ara te taua i haere mai ki a ia i Eparaima, kia hoki ki to ratou na wahi. Na mura rawa to ratou riri ki a Hura, a hoki ana ki to ratou wahi, mura tonu te riri.

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.

Na ka whakapakari a Amatia i a ia, a arahina ana e ia tona iwi, haere ana ki Raorao Tote, patua iho e ia nga tama a Heira, kotahi tekau mano.

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.

Na, ko era atu mano, kotahi tekau, i ora nei, whakaraua ana e nga tama a Hura, kawea ana ki te tihi o te kamaka, maka atu ana i te tihi o te kamaka, a mongamonga noa ratou katoa.

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.

Otiia, ko nga tangata o te taua i whakahokia nei e Amatia, kei haere tahi ratou ki te whawhai, whakaekea ana e ratou nga pa o Hura, o Hamaria mai ano a tae noa ki Petehorono, patua iho etahi o ratou, e toru mano, nui atu hoki te taonga i pahuati a e ratou.

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.

A, muri i te taenga mai o Amatia i te patunga i nga Eromi, ka mauria mai e ia nga atua o nga tama a Heira, na ka whakaturia e ia hei atua mona, koropiko ana ia ki mua i a ratou, tahuna ana e ia he whakakakara ki a ratou.

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?'

Na reira ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a Amatia, a unga ana mai e ia he poropiti ki a ia, hei korero ki a ia, He aha koe i rapu ai i ta nga atua o te iwi na? kihai na hoki to ratou iwi i whakaorangia e ratou i tou ringa.

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.'

Na, i a ia e korero ana ki a ia, ka mea te kingi ki a ia, Kua waiho ranei koe hei kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro mo te kingi? Kati tau; mo te aha koe kia patua? Na mutu ake ta te poropiti; otiia i ki ano ia, E mohio ana ano ahau kua takoto to te Atua w hakaaro mou, kia ngaro, mo tau meatanga i tenei, mou hoki kihai i rongo ki toku whakaaro.

17 And Amaziah king of Judah taketh counsel, and sendeth unto Joash son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying,

Katahi a Amatia kingi o Hura ka whakatakoto whakaaro, a unga tangata ana ki a Ioaha tama a Iehoahata tama a Iehu kingi o Iharaira, hei ki atu, Tena, taua ka titiro tetahi ki te kanohi o tetahi.

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.

Na ka unga tangata a Ioaha kingi o Iharaira ki a Amatia kingi o Hura, hei ki atu, i tono karere te tataramoa i Repanona ki te hita i Repanona, hei ki atu, Homai tau tamahine hei wahine ma taku tama. Na ko te haerenga atu o tetahi kirehe i Repano na, takahia iho e ia taua tataramoa.

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?'

E ki ana koe, Na, kua patua e koe Eroma; a kua whakanekehia ake koe e tou ngakau kia whakapehapeha. E noho ra ki tou whare: he aha koe ka whakapataritari ai, e kino ai koe, e hinga ai koe, a koe na, koutou tahi ko Hura?

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;

Otiia kihai a Amatia i rongo; na te Atua hoki tena, kia hoatu ai ratou e ia ki te ringa o o ratou hoariri, mo ratou i rapu tikanga i nga atua o Eroma.

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,

Heoi haere ana a Ioaha kingi o Iharaira, a ka titiro raua ko Amatia kingi o Hura, tetahi ki te kanohi o tetahi, ki Petehemehe o Hura.

22 and Judah is smitten before Israel, and they flee — each to his tents.

Na kua patua a Hura i te aroaro o Iharaira, a rere ana ratou, tena ki tona teneti, tena ki tona teneti.

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,

I mau ano a Amatia kingi o Hura tama a Ioaha tama a Iehoahata i a Ioaha kingi o Iharaira ki Petehemehe, a kawea ana ia ki Hiruharama, wawahia ana e ia te taiepa o Hiruharama, i te kuwaha mai ano o Eparaima taea noatia te kuwaha o te koki, e wha rau whatianga.

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.

Na, ko te koura katoa, ko te hiriwa, me nga oko katoa i kitea ki te whare o te Atua, ki a Opereeroma, me nga taonga o te whare o te kingi, me etahi tangata hei taumau, tangohia ake e ia, a hoki ana ki Hamaria.

25 And Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, liveth after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years;

A tekau ma rima nga tau i ora ai a Amatia tama a Ioaha kingi o Hura i muri i te matenga o Ioaha tama a Iehoahata kingi o Iharaira.

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?

Na, ko era atu meatanga a Amatia, o mua, me o muri, nana, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga kingi o Hura, o Iharaira?

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,

Na no muri i te wa i mahue ai i a Amatia te whai i a Ihowa, ka whakatupuria he he mona ki Hiruharama, a rere ana ia ki Rakihi. Otiia ka unga tangata ratou ki te whai i a ia ki Rakihi, a whakamatea iho ia ki reira.

28 and lift him up on the horses, and bury him with his fathers in the city of Judah.

A mauria ana mai i runga hoiho, tanumia ana ki te taha o ona matua, ki te pa o Hura.
