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 years old when he began to reign; he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddan, of 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 eyes of Yahweh, but not with a whole heart.
3 A paa ia ma kona aupuni, pepehi iho la ia i kana poe kauwa nana i pepehi i kona makuakane, i ke alii.
It came about that as soon as his rule was well established, he killed the servants 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.
But he did not put the children of the murderers to death, but acted according to what was written in the law, in the Book of Moses, as Yahweh had commanded, “The fathers must not die for the children, nor must the children die for the fathers. Instead, every person must die for his 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.
Moreover, Amaziah gathered Judah together, and registered them by their ancestors' houses, under commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—all of Judah and Benjamin. He numbered them from twenty years old and upward, and found them to be 300,000 chosen men, able to go to war, who could handle 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 hired also 100,000 fighting men from Israel for one 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, “King, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for Yahweh is not with Israel—none of the people 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.
But even if you do go and are courageous and strong in battle, God will throw you down before the enemy, for God has power to help, and power to throw down.”
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 said to the man of God, “But what will we do about the one hundred talents that I have given to the army of Israel?” The man of God answered, “Yahweh is able to give you much more than that.”
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 separated the army that had come to him from Ephraim; he sent them home again. So their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger.
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 took courage and led his people to go out to the Valley of Salt; there he defeated ten thousand men of Seir.
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 carried away alive another ten thousand. They took them to the top of the cliff and threw them down from there, so that they were all broken in pieces.
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 which Amaziah sent back, so that they should not go with him to battle, attacked the cities of Judah from Samaria to Beth Horon. They struck down three thousand of the people and took much 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.
Now it came about, after that Amaziah had returned from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the people of Seir, and set them up to be his own gods. He bowed down before them and burned incense 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.
So Yahweh's anger was kindled against Amaziah. He sent a prophet to him, who said, “Why have you sought after the gods of a people who did not even save their own people from your hand?”
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.
It came about that as the prophet was speaking with him, the king said to him, “Have we made you an advisor to the king? Stop! Why should you be killed?” Then the prophet stopped and said, “I know that God has decided to destroy you because you have done this deed and have not listened 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 consulted with advisors and sent messengers to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us meet each other face to face in battle.”
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.
But Jehoash the king of Israel sent messengers back to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “A thistle that was in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, 'Give your daughter to my son for a wife,' but a wild beast in Lebanon walked 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 have said, 'See, I have struck down Edom,' and your heart has lifted you up. Take pride in your victory, but stay at home, for why should you cause yourself trouble and fall, both you 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 would not listen, because this event was from God, so he might put the people of Judah into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought advice from 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 Jehoash, king of Israel, attacked; he and Amaziah, king of Judah, met each other face to face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
22 A ua lukuia ka Iuda imua o ka Iseraela, a auhee aku la kela kanaka, keia kanaka i kona halelewa.
Judah was struck down before Israel, and every man fled 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.
Jehoash, king of Israel, captured Amaziah son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, at Beth Shemesh. He brought him to Jerusalem and tore down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits in distance.
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 took all the gold and silver, all the objects that were found in the house of God with Obed Edom, and the valuable things in the king's house, with hostages also, and 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 fifteen years after the death of Jehoash, 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?
As for the other matters concerning Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written 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.
Now from the time that Amaziah turned away from following Yahweh, they began to make a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. He fled to Lachish, but they sent men after him to Lachish and 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 on horses and buried him with his ancestors in the city of Judah.
