Fiawo 2 14
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 Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah.
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.
He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jehoaddan 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 Yhwh, yet not like David his father: he did according to all things as Joash his father did.
4 Megbã nuxeƒewo le toawo dzi o, ale ameawo gasaa vɔ eye wogadoa dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ le afi ma kokoko.
Howbeit the high places were not taken away: as yet the people did sacrifice 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, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his servants which 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 the children of the murderers he slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein Yhwh 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 be put to death for his own sin.
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 slew of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and took Selah by war, and called the name of it Joktheel unto 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 Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, 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 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 thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode 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?”
Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thine heart hath lifted thee up: glory of this, and tarry at home: for why shouldest thou meddle to thy hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
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.
But Amaziah would not hear. Therefore Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth–shemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
12 Ke Israel si Yuda eye eƒe aʋakɔ katã si yi aƒe.
And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to their tents.
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 Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth–shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, 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 all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of Yhwh, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and 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.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not 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 Jehoash 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 Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
18 Woŋlɔ Amazia ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa ɖe Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
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.
Now they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem: and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew 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 on horses: and he was buried at 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 Judah took Azariah, which was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.
22 Le fofoa ƒe ku megbe la, etu Elat eye wòxɔe na Yuda.
He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that 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 Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, and reigned 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 Yhwh: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made 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 restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of Yhwh God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of Gath–hepher.
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 Yhwh saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter: for there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel.
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 Yhwh said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
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.
Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which belonged to Judah, for Israel, are they not 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 Zachariah his son reigned in his stead.
