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.
When twenty and five years old did Amazyahu become king, and twenty and nine years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yeho'addan of Jerusalem.
2 Nĩekire maũndũ marĩa moonagwo magĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, no ndaamekire na ngoro yake yothe.
And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, yet not with an entire heart.
3 Thuutha wa ũthamaki kũrũma wega wathani-inĩ wake, akĩũraga anene arĩa mooragĩte ithe Joashu ũrĩa warĩ mũthamaki.
And it came to pass, when the kingdom was firmly 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 their children he put not to death; but [did] as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, that the Lord had commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, nor 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.
And Amazyahu gathered Judah together, and stationed them after the family divisions, after the captains over the thousands, and after the captains over the hundreds, of all Judah and Benjamin; and he numbered them from twenty years old and upward, and found them [to be] three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go forth to the army, 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 out of Israel one hundred thousand mighty men of valor for one 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 a man of God came unto him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the Lord is not with Israel, [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 thou wilt go, [and be ever so] active [and] strong for the battle: God will cause thee to stumble before the enemy; for there is power with God to help, and to cause to stumble.
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.”
Then said Amazyahu to the man of God, But what is it to be done for the hundred talents which I have given to the band of Israel? And the man of God said, The Lord hath [enough in his power] to give thee 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 did Amazyahu separate them, [to wit, ] the band that was come to him out of Ephraim, that they might go to their place: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned to their home in burning anger.
11 Amazia agĩcooka akĩbanga thigari ciake, agĩcitongoria na mwena wa Gĩtuamba gĩa Cumbĩ, kũrĩa ooragire andũ 10,000 a Seiru.
And Amazyahu strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the Valley of Salt, and smote of the children of Se'ir ten thousand [men].
12 Mbũtũ ya ita ya Juda ĩkĩnyiita andũ 10,000 marĩ muoyo, na ĩkĩmatwara handũ igũrũ wa rwaro rwa ihiga, ĩkĩmaikia thĩ magĩthuthĩkanga.
And ten thousand did the children of Judah take captive alive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were crushed.
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 men of the band whom Amazyahu had sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, spread themselves about in the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Beth-choron, and smote of them three thousand [persons], and plundered 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.
And it came to pass, after Amazyahu was come home from smiting the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Se'ir, and set them up unto himself as gods, and before them he used to prostrate himself and unto them he used to burn incense.
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 Amazyahu, and he sent unto him a prophet, who said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, that have not delivered their own people out of thy 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 was speaking unto him, that he said unto him, Have we ever appointed thee as a counsellor to the king? forbear this: why shouldst thou be smitten? Then did the prophet forbear; and he said, I know that God hath resolved to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast 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 held Amazyahu the king of Judah a council, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoachaz, the son of Jehu, the king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look 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 the king of Israel sent to Amazyahu the king of Judah, saying, The thorn-bush that was in the Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in the Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son for wife. And there passed along the wild beasts that were in the Lebanon, and trod down the thorn-bush.
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?”
Thou hast thought, Lo, thou hast smitten Edom; and thy heart hath lifted thee up to acquire much glory: now stay in thy house; why wilt thou meddle with misfortune, that thou mayest fall, thou, and Judah with thee?
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 Amazyahu would not hear; for it was [ordained] by God, in order to deliver them into the hand [of Joash]; because they had 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.
Thereupon did Joash the king of Israel go up: and they looked one another in the face, he and Amazyahu the king of Judah, at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
22 Andũ a Juda makĩhũũrwo nĩ andũ a Isiraeli, na o mũndũ akĩũrĩra gwake mũciĩ.
And Judah was defeated before Israel, and they fled every man to his tents.
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 caught Amazyahu the king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoachaz, at Beth-shemesh; and he brought him to Jerusalem, and made a breach in the wall of Jerusalem, from the gate of Ephraim unto 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 [taking] all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with 'Obed-edom, and the treasures of the king's house, and the children of the chiefs as hostages, he 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 Amazyahu the son of Joash the king of Judah lived after the death of Joash the son of Jehoachaz the 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?
And the rest of the acts of Amazyahu the first and the last, behold, they are fully 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 from the time that Amazyahu departed from following the Lord, they raised a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem: wherefore he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there.
28 Agĩcookio aigĩrĩirwo mbarathi igũrũ, na agĩthikwo hamwe na maithe Itũũra-inĩ Inene rĩa Juda.
And they carried him on horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
