1 Le Israel fia, Yehoas, Yehoahaz ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe evelia me la, Amazia, Yoas ƒe vi zu fia le Yuda.
In the second year of Joas the son of Joachaz king of Israel, did Amessias also the son of Joas the king of Juda begin to reign.
2 Amazia xɔ ƒe blaeve vɔ atɔ̃ ɣe ma ɣi eye wòɖu fia le Yerusalem ƒe blaeve-vɔ-asiekɛ. Dadaa ŋkɔe nye Yehoadin, ame si tso Yerusalem.
Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Joadim of Jerusalem.
3 Amazia wɔ nu si dze Yehowa ŋu. Togbɔ be mede tɔgbuia David nu o hã la, enye fia nyui aɖe abe fofoa Yoas ene.
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, but not as David his father: he did according to all things that his father Joas did.
4 Megbã nuxeƒewo le toawo dzi o, ale ameawo gasaa vɔ eye wogadoa dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ le afi ma kokoko.
Only he removed not the high places: as yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.
5 Esi Amazia kpɔ be fiaɖuƒe la li ke ɖe yeƒe asi me la, ewu dumegã siwo katã wu fofoa.
And it came to pass when the kingdom was established in his hand, that he killed his servants that had slain the king his father.
6 Ke mewu hlɔ̃dolawo ƒe viwo o, abe ale si Yehowa de se gblɔ woŋlɔ ɖe Mose ƒe Segbalẽa me ene bena, “Womawu fofowo ɖe viwo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta o, eye nenema ke womawu viwo ɖe fofowo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta o. Woawu ame sia ame ɖe eya ŋutɔ ko ƒe nu vɔ̃ ta.”
But he killed not the sons of those that had slain him; according as it is written in the book of the laws of Moses, as the Lord gave commandment, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, and the children shall not be put to death for the fathers; but every one shall die for his own sins.
7 Amaziae wu Edomtɔ akpe ewo le Dze Balime. Exɔ Sela du la hã eye wòtrɔ ŋkɔ nɛ bena Yɔkteel. Ŋkɔ sia tsi eŋu va se ɖe egbe.
He struck of Edom ten thousand in the valley of salt, and took the Rock in the war, and called its name Jethoel until this day.
8 Gbe ɖeka la, Yuda fia, Amazia ɖo du ɖe Israel fia Yehoas, Yehoahaz ƒe vi kple Yehu tɔgbuiyɔvi la, be ne enye ŋutsu la, wòakplɔ eƒe aʋakɔ vɛ yewoawɔ aʋa.
Then Amessias sent messengers to Joas son of Joachaz son of Ju king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.
9 Fia Yehoas 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.
And Joas the king of Israel sent to Amessias king of Juda, saying, The thistle that was in Libanus sent to the cedar that was in Libanus, saying, Give my daughter to your son to wife: and the wild beasts of the field that were in Libanus passed by and trod down the thistle.
10 Èɖu 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?”
You have struck and wounded Edom, and your heart has lifted you up: stay at home and glorify yourself; for therefore are you quarrelsome to your hurt? So [both] you will fall and Juda with you.
11 Ke Amazia gbe toɖoɖoe, ale Israel fia Yehoas ƒo ƒu aʋakɔ aɖe nu ɖe eŋu. Yoas kple Amazia ƒe aʋakɔwo do go le Bet Semes le Yuda.
Nevertheless Amessias listened not: so Joas king of Israel went up, and he and Amessias king of Juda looked one another in the face in Baethsamys of Juda.
12 Ke Israel si Yuda eye eƒe aʋakɔ katã si yi aƒe.
And Juda was overthrown before Israel, and [every] man fled to his tent.
13 Israel fia Yehoas lé Amazia, Yuda fia, ame si nye Yoas ƒe vi, Ahazia ƒe vi le Bet Semes. Tete Yehoas yi 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.
And Joas king of Israel took Amessias the son of Joas the son of Ochozias, in Baethsamys; and he came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, [beginning] at the gate of Ephraim as far as the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits.
14 Fia Yehoas lɔ sika kple klosalo kple sikakplu siwo le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔa me kple fiasã la ƒe nudzraɖoƒewo katã hekpe ɖe awɔbamewo ŋu eye wògbugbɔ yi Samaria.
And he took the gold, and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and the hostages, and returned to Samaria.
15 Woŋlɔ nu mamlɛawo tso Yehoas ƒe fiaɖuɖu kple eƒe aʋawɔwɔ kple Yuda fia Amazia ŋu ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
And the rest of the acts of Joas, [even] all that he did in his might, how he warred with Amessias king of Juda, are not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
16 Esi Yehoas ku la, woɖii ɖe Samaria le Israel fia bubuwo gbɔ eye via Yeroboam ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
And Joas slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.
17 Ke Yuda fia Amazia, Yoas vi nɔ agbe ƒe wuiatɔ̃ le Israel fia Yehoas, Yehoahaz vi ƒe ku megbe.
And Amessias the son of Joas king of Juda lived after the death of Joas son of Joachaz king of Israel fifteen years.
18 Woŋlɔ Amazia ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa ɖe Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
And the rest of the acts of Amessias, and all that he did, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
19 Woɖo nugbe ɖe eƒe agbe ŋu le Yerusalem ale wòsi yi Lakis, ke eƒe futɔwo dɔ ame ɖa woyi Lakis ɖawui le afi ma.
And they formed a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachis: and they sent after him to Lachis, and killed him there.
20 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.
And they brought him upon horses; and he was buried in Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.
21 Wotsɔ via, Azaria ɖo fiae ɖe eteƒe, esi Azaria xɔ ƒe wuiade ko.
And all the people of Juda took Azarias, and he was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amessias.
22 Le fofoa ƒe ku megbe la, etu Elat eye wòxɔe na Yuda.
He built Aeloth, and restored it to Juda, after the king slept with his fathers.
23 Azɔ la, Yeroboam Evelia zu Israel fia le Yuda fia Amazia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuiatɔ̃lia me. Yeroboam ɖu fia ƒe blaene-vɔ-ɖekɛ.
In the fifteenth year of Amessias son of Joas king of Juda began Jeroboam son of Joas to reign over Israel in Samaria forty and one years.
24 Enye fia vɔ̃ɖi aɖe le Yehowa ŋkume abe Yeroboam Gbãtɔ, Nebat ƒe vi, ame si kplɔ Israel de legbawo subɔsubɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃ me la ene.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin.
25 Yeroboam Evelia gbugbɔ Israel ƒe anyigba xɔ tso Lebo Hamat va se ɖe Araba ƒu la nu abe ale si Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe do ŋgɔ to Yona, Amitai ƒe vi, ame si nye Nyagblɔɖila tso Gat Hefer dzi la ene.
He recovered the coast of Israel from the entering in of Aemath to the sea of Araba, according to the word of the Lord God of Israel, which he spoke by his servant Jonas the son of Amathi, the prophet of Gethchopher.
26 Nu sia va eme elabena Yehowa kpɔ xaxa gã si me Israel ɖo; kluviwo kple dzɔleaƒeawo siaa le fu kpem, evɔ xɔnametɔ aɖeke menɔ wo si o la dzi ɖa.
For the Lord saw [that] the affliction of Israel [was] very bitter, and that they were few in number, straitened and in lack, and destitute, and Israel had no helper.
27 Gawu la, Yehowa megblɔ be yeatutu Israel ƒe ŋkɔ ɖa le anyigba dzi o, eya ta wòto Fia Yeroboam Evelia, Yehoas ƒe vi la dzi ɖe Israel.
And the Lord said that he would not blot out the seed of Israel from under heaven; so he delivered them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joas.
28 Woŋlɔ Fia Yeroboam Evelia ŋutinya, nu siwo katã wòwɔ, ŋusẽ gã si wòkpɔ, eƒe aʋawɔwɔwo kple ale si wògbugbɔ Damasko kple Hamat, du siwo Yuda xɔ le Israel si la, xɔ la ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam and all that he did, and his mighty deeds, which he achieved in war, and how he recovered Damascus and Aemath to Juda in Israel, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
29 Esi Yeroboam Evelia ku la, woɖii ɖe Israel Fia bubuwo gbɔ eye via Zekaria zu Israel Fia yeye la.
And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zacharias his son reigned in his stead.
