2 Athamaki 14
1 Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa keerĩ wa ũthamaki wa Jehoashu mũrũ wa Jehoahazu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, Amazia mũrũ wa Joashu mũthamaki wa Juda akĩambĩrĩria gũthamaka.
Amaziah, son of Joash, became king of Judah in the second year of the reign of Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
2 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.
He was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years. His mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
3 Nĩekire maũndũ marĩa moonagwo magĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, no ti ta ũrĩa ithe Daudi eekĩte. Maũndũ-inĩ mothe eekire o ta ũrĩa ithe Joashu ekaga.
He did what was right in the Lord's sight, but not in the same way as his forefather David had. He did everything just as his father Joash had done.
4 No rĩrĩ, kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gũtieheririo; andũ maathiire o na mbere kũrutĩra magongona na gũcinĩra ũbumba kuo.
But the high places were not removed. The people still were sacrificing and presenting burn offerings in those places.
5 Thuutha wa ũthamaki gũkorwo ũrũmĩte moko-inĩ make, akĩũraga anene arĩa moragĩte ithe Joashu ũrĩa warĩ mũthamaki.
Once he was secure on the throne he executed the officials who had murdered his father the king.
6 No rĩrĩ, ndaigana kũũraga ariũ a oragani acio, 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 mwene.”
But he did not execute the murderers' children, following the Lord's command in the law of Moses that “Fathers must not be put to death for their children's sins, and children must not be put to death for their father's sins. Everyone is to die for their own sin.”
7 Ningĩ nĩwe wahootire 10,000 cia andũ a Edomu kũu Gĩtuamba-inĩ gĩa Cumbĩ, na agĩtunyana itũũra rĩa Sela mbaara-inĩ, akĩrĩtua Jokitheeli, rĩĩtwa rĩrĩa rĩĩtagwo nginya ũmũthĩ.
Amaziah killed ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. He attacked and captured Sela and renamed it Joktheel, which is what it is called to this very day.
8 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Amazia agĩtũma andũ kũrĩ Jehoashu mũrũ wa Jehoahazu mũrũ wa Jehu, mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ “Ũka tũngʼethanĩre ũthiũ kwa ũthiũ.”
Amaziah sent messengers to the king of Israel, Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, telling him, “Let's fight, face to face!”
9 No rĩrĩ, 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 mũrũ wakwa.’ Hĩndĩ ĩyo nyamũ ya gĩthaka kũu Lebanoni ĩgĩũka ĩkĩrangĩrĩria mahiũ macio ma nyeki-inĩ na makinya mayo.
Jehoash, king of Israel, replied to Amaziah, king of Judah: “In Lebanon a thistle sent a message to a cedar, saying, ‘Give your daughter as a wife to my son.’ But a wild animal of Lebanon came by and trampled down the thistle.
10 Ti-itherũ nĩũtooretie Edomu, na rĩu nĩũtuĩkĩte mwĩtĩĩi. Wĩgaathe nĩ ũndũ wa ũhootani waku, no ikara mũciĩ! Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma wĩrehere thĩĩna, wĩniinithie we mwene, o hamwe na andũ a Juda?”
You may indeed have defeated Edom. Now you've become arrogant. Stay home and enjoy your victory! Why provoke trouble that will bring you down, and Judah with you?”
11 O na kũrĩ ũguo, Amazia ndaigana gũthikĩrĩria; nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehoashu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩmũtharĩkĩra. We na Amazia mũthamaki wa Juda makĩngʼethanĩra kũu Bethi-Shemeshu thĩinĩ wa Juda.
But Amaziah refused to listen, so Jehoash, king of Israel, came to attack him. He and Amaziah, king of Judah, met face to face at Beth Shemesh in Judah.
12 Andũ a Juda makĩhũũrwo nĩ andũ a Isiraeli, na o mũndũ akĩũrĩra gwake mũciĩ.
The army of Judah was defeated by Israel, and ran away home.
13 Nake Jehoashu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩnyiita Amazia mũthamaki wa Juda mũrũ wa Joashu mũrũ wa Ahazia, o kũu Bethi-Shemeshu. Ningĩ Jehoashu agĩthiĩ Jerusalemu na akĩmomora rũthingo rwa Jerusalemu, kuuma Kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa Efiraimu nginya Kĩhingo gĩa Koine, handũ ha buti ta magana matandatũ kũraiha.
Jehoash, king of Israel, captured Amaziah, king of Judah, the son of Joash, son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh. Then Jehoash attacked Jerusalem and knocked down the city wall from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate, about four hundred cubits in length.
14 Nake akĩoya thahabu yothe na betha na indo ciothe iria ciarĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Jehova na iria ciarĩ igĩĩna-inĩ cia nyũmba ya ũthamaki. Ningĩ agĩtaha andũ na agĩcooka Samaria.
He removed all the gold and silver, and all the items found in the Lord's Temple and in the treasuries of the royal palace, and also some hostages. Then he went back to Samaria.
15 Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Jehoashu, na marĩa eekire, na marĩa aahingirie, o hamwe na mbaara yake ĩrĩa maarũire na Amazia mũthamaki wa Juda-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Isiraeli?
The rest of what happened in Jehoash's reign, all he did, and his great achievements and his war with Amaziah, king of Judah, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
16 Jehoashu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, agĩthikwo Samaria hamwe na athamaki a Isiraeli. Nake mũriũ Jeroboamu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
Jehoash died and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. His son Jeroboam succeeded him as king.
17 Amazia mũrũ wa Joashu mũthamaki wa Juda aatũũrire muoyo mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtano thuutha wa gĩkuũ kĩa Jehoashu mũrũ wa Jehoahazu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, lived for fifteen more years after the death of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
18 Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ ma wathani wa Amazia, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Juda?
The rest of the events that happened in Amaziah's reign are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
19 Nao andũ makĩgĩa ndundu ya kũmũũkĩrĩra kũu Jerusalemu, nake Amazia akĩũrĩra Lakishi, no magĩtũma andũ mamũrũmĩrĩre kũu Lakishi, na makĩmũũragĩra kuo.
A conspiracy against Amaziah took place in Jerusalem, and he ran away to Lachish. But men were sent after him and they murdered him there.
20 Nĩacookirio akuuĩtwo na mbarathi, agĩthikwo Jerusalemu hamwe na maithe make, itũũra-inĩ inene rĩa Daudi.
They brought him back on horses and buried him in Jerusalem with his forefathers in the City of David.
21 Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ othe a Juda makĩoya Azaria arĩ na mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtandatũ, makĩmũtua mũthamaki ithenya rĩa ithe Amazia.
Then all the people of Judah made Amaziah's son Azariah king to replace his father. Azariah was sixteen years old.
22 Nĩwe waakire Elathu rĩngĩ, na akĩrĩcookeria Juda thuutha wa Amazia kũhurũka na maithe make.
Azariah recaptured Elath for Judah and rebuilt it after his father's death.
23 Mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ĩtano wa wathani wa Amazia mũrũ wa Joashu mũthamaki wa Juda, Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Jehoashu, mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩtuĩka mũthamaki kũu Samaria, na agĩthamaka mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna na ũmwe.
Jeroboam, son of Jehoash, became king of Israel in the fifteenth year of the reign of Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for forty-one years.
24 Nĩekire maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, na ndaatiganire na mehia o na mamwe ma Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati marĩa aatũmĩte Isiraeli meehie.
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight and did not end all the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit.
25 Nĩwe wacookirie mĩhaka ya Isiraeli kuuma Lebo-Hamathu nginya Iria-inĩ rĩa Araba kũringana na kiugo kĩa Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli kĩrĩa kĩarĩtio nĩ ndungata yake Jona mũrũ wa Amitai, ũrĩa warĩ mũnabii kuuma Gathi-Heferi.
He restored the border of Israel to where it had been, from Lebo-hamath as far as the Sea of the Arabah, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had said through his servant Jonah, son of Amittai, the prophet, who came from Gath-hepher.
26 Jehova nĩonete ruo rũnene rwa andũ othe a Isiraeli, arĩa maarĩ ngombo na arĩa mataarĩ ngombo, akĩona ũrĩa maathĩĩnĩkĩte, na gũtiarĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wa kũmateithia.
The Lord had seen how badly the Israelites were suffering, both slave and free. No one was there to help Israel.
27 Na tondũ Jehova ndoigĩte atĩ nĩegũtharia rĩĩtwa rĩa Isiraeli gũkũ thĩ-rĩ, nĩamahonokirie na guoko kwa Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Jehoashu.
However, since the Lord had said that he would not wipe out Israel, he saved them through Jeroboam, son of Jehoash.
28 Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Jeroboamu, ũrĩa wothe eekire, o na mbaara iria aahootanire, o na ũrĩa aatunyanĩire Isiraeli matũũra ma Dameski na Hamathu, marĩa maarĩ ma Juda tene-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Isiraeli?
The rest of what happened in Jeroboam's reign, all he did, his great achievements and the battles he fought, and how he recovered for Israel both Damascus and Hamath, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
29 Jeroboamu nĩahurũkire hamwe na maithe make, o acio maarĩ athamaki a Isiraeli. Nake mũriũ Zekaria agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
Jeroboam died and was buried with the kings of Israel. His son Zechariah succeeded him as king.
