2 Maũndũ 25
1 Amazia 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.
Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
2 Nĩekire maũndũ marĩa moonagwo magĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, no ndaamekire na ngoro yake yothe.
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.
3 Thuutha wa ũthamaki kũrũma wega wathani-inĩ wake, akĩũraga anene arĩa mooragĩte ithe Joashu ũrĩa warĩ mũthamaki.
Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.
4 No rĩrĩ, ndaigana kũũraga ariũ ao, no eekire 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 we mwene.”
But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
5 Amazia agĩĩta andũ a Juda hamwe, na akĩmaiga maroragwo nĩ anene a ikundi cia andũ ngiri ngiri na anene a ikundi cia andũ igana, igana kũringana na nyũmba ciao cia andũ othe a Juda na Benjamini. Agĩcooka agĩĩta andũ othe arĩa maarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na makĩria na akĩona atĩ kwarĩ na andũ 300,000 arĩa mangĩathiire mbaara-inĩ, andũ mangĩahotire kuoya itimũ na ngo.
Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield.
6 O na ningĩ agĩkombora andũ a kũrũa 100,000 kuuma Isiraeli na thogora wa taranda igana rĩmwe cia betha.
He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver.
7 No rĩrĩ, mũndũ wa Ngai agĩũka kũrĩ we, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee mũthamaki-rĩ, thigari ici cia kuuma Isiraeli itigatwarane nawe, nĩgũkorwo Jehova ndarĩ hamwe na Isiraeli, na ndarĩ hamwe na andũ o na arĩkũ a Efiraimu.
But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with you; for the LORD is not with Israel, to know, with all the children of Ephraim.
8 O na ũngĩthiĩ ũrũe na ũcamba mbaara-inĩ, Ngai no arĩtũma ũhootwo nĩ thũ, nĩgũkorwo Ngai arĩ na ũhoti wa gũgũteithia kana wa gũtũma ũhootwo.”
But if you will go, do it; be strong for the battle: God shall make you fall before the enemy: for God has power to help, and to cast down.
9 Amazia akĩũria mũndũ wa Ngai atĩrĩ, “Tũgwĩka atĩa nĩ ũndũ wa taranda iria 100 ndarĩhire nĩ ũndũ wa thigari icio cia Isiraeli?” Nake mũndũ wa Ngai agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Jehova no akũhe ingĩ nyingĩ gũkĩra icio.”
And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, The LORD is able to give you much more than this.
10 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Amazia akĩrekereria thigari icio ciokĩte kũrĩ we kuuma Efiraimu, agĩciĩra ciinũke. Nacio ikĩrakarĩra andũ a Juda mũno, na ikĩinũka irĩ na marakara maingĩ.
Then Amaziah separated them, to know, the army that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in great anger.
11 Amazia agĩcooka akĩbanga thigari ciake, agĩcitongoria na mwena wa Gĩtuamba gĩa Cumbĩ, kũrĩa ooragire andũ 10,000 a Seiru.
And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, and stroke of the children of Seir ten thousand.
12 Mbũtũ ya ita ya Juda ĩkĩnyiita andũ 10,000 marĩ muoyo, na ĩkĩmatwara handũ igũrũ wa rwaro rwa ihiga, ĩkĩmaikia thĩ magĩthuthĩkanga.
And other ten thousand left alive did the children of Judah carry away captive, and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all were broken in pieces.
13 Hĩndĩ o ĩyo, thigari iria Amazia aacookithĩtie akĩgiria ikarũe-rĩ, igĩtharĩkĩra matũũra ma Juda kuuma Samaria nginya Bethi-Horoni. Nacio ikĩũraga andũ 3,000 na igĩtaha indo nyingĩ mũno.
But the soldiers of the army which Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Bethhoron, and stroke three thousand of them, and took much spoil.
14 Rĩrĩa Amazia aacookire oimĩte kũũraga andũ a Edomu-rĩ, nĩainũkire na ngai cia andũ a Seiru. Agĩcirũgamia ta ngai ciake mwene, agĩciinamĩrĩra na agĩcirutĩra magongona ma njino.
Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them.
15 Marakara ma Jehova magĩakanĩra Amazia, na akĩmũtũmĩra mũnabii, ũrĩa wamũũririe atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma ũhooe kĩrĩra kũrĩ ngai cia andũ acio, o iria itaangĩahotire kũhonokia andũ acio kuuma moko-inĩ maku?”
Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why have you sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of your hand?
16 O akĩaragia-rĩ, mũthamaki akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũgũtuĩte mũtaari wa mũthamaki? Kira! Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma wende kwĩyũragithia?” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũnabii ũcio agĩkira, no akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjũũĩ atĩ Ngai nĩatuĩte itua gũkwananga, nĩ ũndũ nĩwĩkĩte ũndũ ũcio, na nĩwarega kũigua kĩrĩra gĩakwa.”
And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Are you made of the king's counsel? forbear; why should you be smitten? Then the prophet ceased, and said, I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this, and have not hearkened unto my counsel.
17 Thuutha wa Amazia mũthamaki wa Juda kũhooya kĩrĩra kuuma kũrĩ ataari ake-rĩ, agĩtũma ndũmĩrĩri ĩno ya njũgitano kũrĩ Jehoashu mũrũ wa Jehoahazu, mũrũ wa Jehu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Ũka, tũcemanie, tuonane ũthiũ kwa ũthiũ.”
Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us see one another in the face.
18 No 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 mũriũ wakwa.’ Hĩndĩ ĩyo nyamũ ya gĩthaka ya kũu Lebanoni ĩgĩũka ĩkĩrangĩrĩria mahiũ macio ma nyeki-inĩ na makinya mayo.
And Joash 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 to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.
19 Wĩĩrĩte na ngoro atĩ nĩũrĩkĩtie gũtooria Edomu, na rĩu ũkeeyona na ũgetĩĩa. No ikara mũciĩ! Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma wĩrehere thĩĩna na wĩniinithie wee mwene o hamwe na andũ a Juda?”
You say, Lo, you have smitten the Edomites; and your heart lifts you up to boast: abide now at home; why should you meddle to your hurt, that you should fall, even you, and Judah with you?
20 O na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, Amazia ndaigana gũthikĩrĩria, nĩgũkorwo nĩ Ngai warutaga wĩra nĩguo amaneane moko-inĩ ma Jehoashu, tondũ andũ a Juda nĩmarongoragia ngai cia Edomu.
But Amaziah would not hear; for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom.
21 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehoashu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩmatharĩkĩra. We na Amazia mũthamaki wa Juda makĩngʼethanĩra kũu Bethi-Shemeshu thĩinĩ wa Juda.
So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they saw one another in the face, both he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Bethshemesh, which belongs to Judah.
22 Andũ a Juda makĩhũũrwo nĩ andũ a Isiraeli, na o mũndũ akĩũrĩra gwake mũciĩ.
And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.
23 Nake Jehoashu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩnyiita Amazia mũthamaki wa Juda, mũrũ wa Joashu, mũrũ wa Ahazia, o kũu Bethi-Shemeshu. Ningĩ Jehoashu akĩmũrehe Jerusalemu, na akĩmomora rũthingo rwa Jerusalemu kuuma Kĩhingo kĩa Efiraimu nginya Kĩhingo gĩa Koine, handũ ha buti ta 600 kũraiha.
And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Bethshemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
24 Nake akĩoya thahabu yothe na betha, na indo ciothe iria ciarĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Ngai iria ciamenyagĩrĩrwo nĩ Obedi-Edomu, hamwe na igĩĩna cia nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na andũ arĩa maatahĩtwo, nake agĩcooka Samaria.
And he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obededom, and the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
25 Amazia mũrũ wa Joashu mũthamaki wa Juda aatũũrire muoyo mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtano thuutha wa gĩkuũ kĩa Jehoashu mũrũ wa Jehoahazu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
26 Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ ma wathani wa Amazia kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya mũthia-rĩ, githĩ ti maandĩke ibuku-inĩ rĩa athamaki a Juda na Isiraeli?
Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?
27 Kuuma hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Amazia aagarũrũkire agĩtiga kũrũmĩrĩra Jehova-rĩ, makĩmũciirĩrĩra mamũũkĩrĩre kũu Jerusalemu, nake akĩũrĩra Lakishi, no magĩtũma andũ mamũrũmĩrĩre o nginya Lakishi, makĩmũũragĩra kuo.
Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there.
28 Agĩcookio aigĩrĩirwo mbarathi igũrũ, na agĩthikwo hamwe na maithe Itũũra-inĩ Inene rĩa Juda.
And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
