II Oihanaalii 25
1 O AMAZIA, he iwakaluakumamalima makahiki ona i kona wa i alii ai, a noho alii iho la ia i na makahiki he iwakaluakumamaiwa ma Ierusalema; a o ka inoa o kona makuwahine o Iehoadama no Ierusalema.
Amaziah was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years. His mother's name was Jehoaddan and she came from Jerusalem.
2 Hana iho la ia i ka mea maikai i na maka o Iehova, aole nae me ka naau maikai.
He did what was right in the Lord's sight but not with complete commitment.
3 A paa ia ma kona aupuni, pepehi iho la ia i kana poe kauwa nana i pepehi i kona makuakane, i ke alii.
After he had made sure his rule was secure, he executed the officers who had murdered his father the king.
4 Aole oia i pepehi i ka lakou poe keiki, aka, hana oia e like me ka mea i kakauia iloko o ke kanawai, ma ka buke a Mose, kahi a Iehova i kauoha mai ai, i mai la, Aole e make na makua no na keiki, aole hoi e make na keiki no na makua, aka, e make no kela kanaka keia kanaka no kona hewa iho.
However, he did not kill their sons, as is written in the Law, in the book of Moses, where the Lord commanded: “Fathers must not be executed for their children, and children must not be executed for their fathers. Everyone is to die for their own sin.”
5 A hoakoakoa Amazia i ka Iuda, a hoonoho ia lakou ma ko ka hale o na makua, i poe luna no na tausani, a i poe luna no ua haneri, no ka Iuda a pau a me ka Beniamina: a helu oia ia lakou mai ka makahiki iwakalua aku, a loaa ia ia ekolu haneri tausani kanaka i waeia, ka poe hiki ke hele i ke kaua, ka poe i makaukau i ka ihe a me ka palekaua.
Then Amaziah called up the people of Judah for military service, and assigned them by families to commanders of thousands and of hundreds. He also took a census of those twenty years of age and older throughout Judah and Benjamin, and found there was 300,000 first-rate fighting men who could use spear and shield.
6 A hoolimalima no hoi oia noloko mai o ka Iseraela i hookahi haneri tausani koa ikaika no na talena kala hookahi haneri.
He also hired 100,000 battle-ready fighting men from Israel for a hundred talents of silver.
7 A hele mai io na la ke kanaka o ke Akua, i mai la, E ke alii, aole pono e hele pu me oe ka poe koa o ka Iseraela; no ka mea, aole o Iehova pu me ka Iseraela, me na mamo a pau a Eperaima.
But a man of God came to him and said, “Your Majesty, don't let this army of Israel join you, for the Lord is not with Israel, with these sons of Ephraim!
8 Aka, ina e hele no oe, e hana no pela, e ikaika hoi i ke kaua; aka, e oupe mai ke Akua ia oe imua o ka enemi; no ka mea, aia i ke Akua ka mana e kokua mai ai, a e hoohina mai ai no hoi.
Even if you fight bravely, God will let you stumble and fall before the enemy, for God has the power to help you or let you fall.”
9 Olelo aku la o Amazia i ke kanaka o ke Akua, Heaha ka makou e hana'i no kela mau talena hookahi haneri a'u i haawi aku ai na ka poe koa o ka Iseraela? I mai la ke kanaka o ke Akua, E hiki no ia Iehova ke haawi mai ia oe a nui e aku i keia.
Amaziah asked the man of God, “But what about the hundred talents of silver I paid the army of Israel?” “The Lord can give you much more than that!” replied the man of God.
10 Alaila, hookaawale ae la o Amazia i ka poe koa i hele mai io na la, mailoko mai o Eperaima e hele i ko lakou wahi; a ua nui loa mai la ko lakou huhu i ka Iuda, a hoi lakou i ko lakou wahi me ka huhu wela.
So Amaziah dismissed the army he'd hired from Ephraim and sent them home. They became very angry with Judah, and returned home furious.
11 A hooikaika iho la o Amazia, a alakai i kona poe kanaka, a hele aku la i ke awawa paakai, a luku iho la i ko Seira he ami tausani.
Amaziah then bravely led his army to the Valley of Salt, where they attacked the Edomite army from Seir, and killed ten thousand of them.
12 A lawe pio na mamo a Iuda i na kanaka he umi tausani e ola ana, a laweia lakou ma kahi pali, a hoolei aku ia lakou ilalo mai luna aku o ka pali, a pau lakou i ka weluwelu.
The army of Judah also captured another ten thousand, took them to the top of a cliff and threw them off, killing them all.
13 A o ka poe koa a Amazia i hoihoi aku ai, i hele ole lakou me ia i ke kaua, hana ino lakou ma na kulanakauhale o Iuda mai Samaria a hiki i Betehorona, a luku iho la lakou i ekolu tausani kanaka, a lawe aku i ka waiwai pio he nui loa.
But the men of the army Amaziah sent home, refusing to let them go with him to battle, raided the towns of Judah, from Samaria to Beth-horon They killed 3,000 of their inhabitants and took a great deal of plunder.
14 A hoi mai o Amazia mai ka luku ana i ka Edoma, hali mai oia i na akua o ko Seira, a kukulu ae la ia mau mea iluna i akua nona, a kulou ia imua o lakou, a kuni i ka mea ala ia lakou.
When Amaziah returned from killing the Edomites, he brought back the gods of the people of Seir and set them up as his own gods, worshiped them, and offered sacrifices to them.
15 A ua hoaa mai la ka huhu o Iehova ia Amazia, a hoouna mai oia io na la i ke kaula, e olelo mai ia ia, No ke aha la oe i imi ai i na akua o na kanaka, na mea i hiki ole ke hoopakele i ko lakou poe kanaka, mai kou lima aku.
The Lord became angry with Amaziah and he sent a prophet to him, who said to him, “Why would you worship the gods of a people who couldn't even save their own people from you?”
16 A i kana olelo ana i ke alii, i mai kela ia ia, Ua hooliloia anei oe i kakaolelo no ke alii? Ua oki; no ke aha la oe e pepehiia iho ai? Alaila, hooki iho la ua kaula la me ka olelo ana mai, Ua ike au, ua paa ko ke Akua manao e pepehi mai ia oe, no ka mea, ua hana oe i keia, aole i hoolohe mai oe i ka'u olelo.
But while he was still speaking, the king said to him, “Have we made you a counselor to the king? Stop right now! Do you want to be struck down?” So the prophet stopped, but said, “I know that God has decided to destroy you, because you have acted like this and have refused to listen to my advice.”
17 A kukakuka iho la o Amazia ke alii o Iuda, a hoouna aku oia io Ioasa la ke keiki a Iehoahaza, ke keiki a Iehu, ke alii o ka Iseraela, i aku la, Ina kaua, e nana kaua he inaka no he maka.
Then Amaziah, king of Judah, took advice from his counselors and sent a message to the king of Israel, Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu. “Come and face me in battle,” he challenged.
18 Hoouna mai la o Ioasa ke alii o ka Iseraela io Amazia la, ke alii o ka Iuda, i mai la, Hoouna ke kakalaioa ma Lebanona i ka laau kedera ma Lebanona, i aku la, E haawi mai oe i kau kaikamahine na ka'u keiki i wahine nana; a hele ae la kekahi holoholona o ke kula ma Lebanona, a hehi iho la maluna o ke kakalaioa.
Joash, king of Israel, replied to Amaziah, king of Judah, “A thistle on Lebanon sent a message to a cedar on Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son for a wife,’ but a wild animal of Lebanon passed by and trampled down the thistle.
19 Olelo mai oe, Aia hoi ua luku au i ka Edoma, a ua kiekie kou naau me ke kaena ana. E noho malie oe ma ka hale; no ke aha la oe e hakaka mai ai, i pono ole ai oe, a haule oe, o oe, a me ka Iuda a pau pu me oe?
You're telling yourself how great you are for defeating Edom, boasting about it. But just stay at home. Why should you stir up trouble that will bring you down, and Judah with you?”
20 Aole i hoolohe o Amazia; no ka mea, na ke Akua mai ia, i haawi uia ia lakou iloko o ka lima o ka lakou poe enemi, no ka mea, ua imi lakou i na akua o ka Edoma.
But Amaziah didn't listen, for God was going to hand him over to his enemies because he had chosen to worship the gods of Edom.
21 Pela i pii aku ai o Ioasa ke alii o ka Iseraela, a nana laua he maka no he maka, oia a me Amazia ke alii o ka Iuda ma Betesemesa, aia uo ma Iuda.
So Joash king of Israel prepared for battle. He and Amaziah, king of Judah, faced one another at Beth-shemesh in Judah.
22 A ua lukuia ka Iuda imua o ka Iseraela, a auhee aku la kela kanaka, keia kanaka i kona halelewa.
Judah was defeated by Israel—they all ran away home.
23 A lawe pio o Ioasa ke alii o ka Iseraela ia Amazia ke alii o ka Iuda, ke keiki a Ioasa, ke keiki a Iehoahaza ma Betesemesa, a lawe ia ia i Ierusalema; a wawahi ia i ka pa o Ierusalema mai ka puka o Eperaima a i ka puka o ke kihi, eha haneri kubita.
Joash, king of Israel, captured Amaziah, king of Judah, son of Joash, son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh. He took him to Jerusalem, and demolished the wall of Jerusalem for 400 cubits, from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate.
24 A lawe aku ia i ke gula a pau, a me ke kala, a me na kiaha a pau i loaa ia ia iloko o ka hale o ke Akua me Obededoma, a me ka waiwai o ka hale o ke alii, a me na mea e paa ana me he poe panai la, a hoi aku la i Samaria.
He carried away all the gold and silver, and all the articles found in God's Temple that had been looked after by Obed-edom and in the treasuries of the king's palace, as well as some hostages, and then returned to Samaria.
25 A ola o Amazia ke keiki a Ioasa, ke alii o ka Iuda, mahope o ka make ana o Ioasa, ke keiki a Iehoahaza ke alii o ka Iseraela, he umi a me kumamalima makahiki.
Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, lived for fifteen years after the death of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
26 A o ke koena o na hana a Amazia, ka mua a me ka hope, aole anei i kakauia'i ia mau mea ma ka buke no na'lii o ka Iuda, a me ka Iseraela?
The rest of what Amaziah did, from beginning to end, is written down in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
27 A mai ka wa mai o ko Amazia huli ana ae mai Iehova aku, ohumu ku e ka poe ma Ierusalema ia ia, a mahuka aku la ia i Lakisa; a hoouna lakou i Lakisa, a pepehi lakou ia ia malaila.
After Amaziah gave up following the Lord, a plot was hatched against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But the plotters sent men to Lachish to hunt him down, and they killed him there.
28 A hali mai lakou ia ia maluna o na lio, a kanu lakou ia ia me kona poe kupuna ma ke kulanakauhale o Iuda.
They brought him back by horse and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
