2 Sarakuna 14
1 A shekara ta biyu ta mulkin Yehowash ɗan Yehoyahaz sarkin Isra’ila, Amaziya ɗan Yowash sarkin Yahuda ya fara mulki.
After Jehoash had been ruling Israel for almost two years, Joash’s son Amaziah became the king of Judah.
2 Ya zama sarki yana da shekaru ashirin da biyar, ya kuma yi mulki a Urushalima shekaru ashirin da tara. Sunan mahaifiyarsa Yehoyaddin, mutuniyar Urushalima.
He was 25 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 29 years. His mother was Jehoaddin; she was from Jerusalem.
3 Ya aikata abin da yake daidai a gaban Ubangiji, sai dai ba kamar kakansa Dawuda ba. A kome dai ya bi gurbin mahaifinsa Yowash.
Amaziah did many things that pleased Yahweh, but he did not do as many things that pleased Yahweh as King David had done. He did some of the good things that his father Joash had done.
4 Ba a dai kawar da masujadan kan tudu ba; mutane suka ci gaba da yin hadaya da ƙone turare a can.
But, [like his father, ] he did not tear down the places for worshipping Yahweh at pagan shrines. The people continued to burn incense [to honor Yahweh] on those hills [instead of in Jerusalem, the place that Yahweh had appointed].
5 Bayan masarauta ta kahu a hannunsa, sai ya kashe fadawan da suka kashe mahaifinsa sarki.
As soon as he was completely in control of his kingdom, he caused to be executed the officials who had murdered his father.
6 Duk da haka bai kashe’ya’yan masu kisan ba, bisa ga abin da yake a rubuce a Dokar Musa inda Ubangiji ya umarta, “Ba za a kashe iyaye saboda laifin’ya’ya ba, ko kuma’ya’ya saboda laifin iyayensu ba, kowa zai mutu don zunubansa.”
But he did not execute their children. He obeyed what was written in the laws that God gave to Moses: “Parents must not be executed for [the crimes/sins committed by] their children, and children must not be executed for [crimes/sins committed by] their parents. People must be executed only for the sins that they themselves [have committed].”
7 Shi ne kuma wanda ya ci mutanen Edom dubu goma a yaƙi, a Kwarin Gishiri, ya kuma ci Sela da yaƙi, ya ba ta suna Yokteyel, sunan da ake kiranta har wa yau.
Amaziah’s soldiers killed 10,000 soldiers of the Edom people-group in the Salt Valley [south of the Dead Sea], and they captured Sela [city] and gave it a new name, Joktheel. That is still its name.
8 Sai Amaziya ya aika’yan aika wurin Yehowash ɗan Yehoyahaz, ɗan Yehu, sarkin Isra’ila, yana tsokanarsa cewa, “Zo, mu sadu fuska da fuska.”
Then Amaziah sent messengers to King Jehoash of Israel, saying “Come here and let’s talk together.”
9 Amma Yehowash sarkin Isra’ila ya mai da martani wa Amaziya sarkin Yahuda ya ce, “Wata’yar ƙaya a kurmin Lebanon ta aika da saƙo wurin itacen al’ul a Lebanon cewa, ‘Ka ba ɗana’yarka aure.’ Amma wani naman jeji ya zo ya tattake ƙayar.
But King Jehoash replied to King Amaziah: “Once a thornbush growing [in the mountains] in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar tree, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son in order that he may marry her.’ But a wild animal in Lebanon passed by the thornbush and trampled it.
10 Tabbatacce ka ci Edom da yaƙi, yanzu kuwa kana ɗaga kai. To, ka gode da darajar da ka samu, amma ka zauna a gida! Don me kake neman faɗa kana neman fāɗuwarka da kuma ta Yahuda?”
[The meaning of what I am saying is that] your army has defeated the army of Edom, so now you have become very proud. But you should be content with defeating the people of Edom, and allow your soldiers to stay at home. If you cause trouble [by fighting against] us, you will surely [RHQ] cause a disaster to happen to you and to your people.”
11 Amma Amaziya bai saurara ba, saboda haka Yehowash sarkin Isra’ila ya kai masa hari. Shi da Amaziya sarkin Yahuda suka fuskanci juna a Bet-Shemesh.
But Amaziah refused to heed Jehoash’s message. So he marched with his army to fight against the Israeli army at Beth-Shemesh [city] in Judah.
12 Isra’ila suka fatattaki Yahuda, kowa kuwa ya tsere zuwa gidansa.
The Israeli army defeated the army of Judah, and all the soldiers of Judah fled and ran back home.
13 Yehowash sarkin Isra’ila ya kama Amaziya sarkin Yahuda, ɗan Yowash, ɗan Ahaziya, a Bet-Shemesh. Sa’an nan Yehowash ya tafi Urushalima ya rushe katangar Urushalima daga Ƙofar Efraim har zuwa Ƙofar Kusurwa, ratarta ta kai wajen ƙafa ɗari shida.
Jehoash’s army also captured King Amaziah there, and they also marched to Jerusalem and tore down the wall that was around the city, from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate. That was a section that was about (200 yards/180 meters) long.
14 Ya kwashi ɗaukan zinariya da azurfa da duk kayan da aka samu a haikalin Ubangiji da kuma ma’ajin fadan. Ya kuma kwashi bayi sa’an nan ya koma Samariya.
Jehoash’s soldiers seized all the gold and silver that they found, and all the utensils that were in the temple, and all the valuable things that were in the palace, and took them to Samaria. They also took to Samaria some prisoners whom they had captured.
15 Game da sauran ayyukan mulkin Yehowash, abin da ya yi da kuma nasarorinsa, haɗe da yaƙinsa da Amaziya sarkin Yahuda, duk a rubuce suke a cikin littafin tarihin sarakunan Isra’ila.
[If you want to know about] all the other things that Jehoash did when he was king, including when he [and his army] fought against [the army of] King Amaziah of Judah, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
16 Ya huta da kakanninsa aka kuma binne shi a Samariya tare da sarakunan Isra’ila. Yerobowam ɗansa, ya kuma gāje shi.
Jehoash died [EUP], and he was buried in Samaria, where the other kings of Israel had been buried. Then his son Jeroboam became the king.
17 Amaziya ɗan Yowash sarkin Yahuda ya yi shekaru goma sha biyar bayan mutuwar Yehowash ɗan Yehoyahaz sarkin Isra’ila.
Amaziah, the king of Judah, lived for 15 more years after Jehoash, the king of Israel, died.
18 Game da sauran ayyukan mulkin Amaziya, duk a rubuce suke a cikin littafin tarihin sarakunan Yahuda.
[If you want to know more about] everything else that Amaziah did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
19 Suka ƙulla masa maƙarƙashiya a Urushalima, ya gudu zuwa Lakish, amma suka aika har Lakish aka kashe shi a can.
Some people in Jerusalem plotted against Amaziah, so he fled to Lachish [city]. But they followed him there and killed him.
20 Aka ɗauko shi a kan doki aka kawo shi Urushalima, aka kuwa binne shi tare da kakanninsa, a Birnin Dawuda.
They took his corpse back to Jerusalem and buried it where his ancestors had been buried, in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’.
21 Sa’an nan dukan mutanen Yahuda suka ɗauki Azariya, wanda yake ɗan shekaru goma sha shida da haihuwa, suka naɗa shi sarki a madadin mahaifinsa Amaziya.
Then all the people of Judah appointed Amaziah’s son Uzziah, when he was 16 years old, to be their king
22 Shi ne ya sāke gina Elat, ya kuma maido da ita a hannun Yahuda bayan Amaziya ya huta da kakanninsa.
After his father died, Uzziah’s workers captured Elath [city], and it came under the control of Judah again.
23 A shekara ta goma sha biyar ta mulkin Amaziya ɗan Yowash sarkin Yahuda, Yerobowam ɗan Yehowash sarkin Isra’ila ya zama sarki a Samariya, ya kuma yi mulki na shekaru arba’in da ɗaya.
When Amaziah had been ruling Judah for almost 15 years, Jeroboam became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for 41 years.
24 Ya aikata mugunta a gaban Ubangiji bai kuwa kauce wa duk zunuban Yerobowam ɗan Nebat, wanda ya sa Isra’ila ta aikata ba.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did not stop committing the same kind of sins that Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, committed, sins which led the Israeli people to sin also.
25 Shi ne ya maido da iyakokin Isra’ila daga Lebo Hamat zuwa Tekun Araba, bisa ga maganar Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, da ya yi ta bakin bawansa Yunana ɗan Amittai, annabi daga Gat-Hefer.
His soldiers conquered again some of the territory that had previously belonged to Israel, from Hamath [city] in the north to the Dead Sea in the south. That is what Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis worshiped, promised the prophet Jonah, the son of Amittai, from Gath-Hepher [town], would happen.
26 Ubangiji ya ga irin muguwar wahalar da ta shafi kowa a Isra’ila, ko bawa ko’yantacce, babu mai taimakonsu.
That happened because Yahweh saw that [the Israelis’ enemies were causing] the Israelis [to] suffer very much. And there was absolutely no one [IDM] who would help them.
27 Da yake kuma Ubangiji bai ce zai shafe sunan Isra’ila daga fuskar duniya ba, sai ya cece su ta hannun Yerobowam ɗan Yowash.
But Yahweh said that he would not destroy Israel completely, so he enabled King Jeroboam to rescue them.
28 Game da sauran ayyukan mulkin Yerobowam, da dukan abin da ya yi, da yaƙe-yaƙen da ya yi, haɗe da sāke ƙwato wa Isra’ila Damaskus da Hamat waɗanda suke a hannun Yahuda, duk a rubuce suke a cikin littafin tarihin sarakunan Isra’ila.
[If you want to know more about] everything else that Jeroboam did, [about] his fighting courageously in battles, and [about] his [enabling the Israelis to] capture again Damascus and Hamath [cities], they are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
29 Yerobowam ya huta da kakanninsa, sarakunan Isra’ila. Zakariya ɗansa kuwa ya gāje shi.
Jeroboam died [EUP], [and was buried] where the other kings of Israel [were buried], and his son Zechariah became the king.
