II Na Lii 14
1 I KA makahiki elua o Ioasa ke keiki a Iehoahaza, ke alii o ka Iseraela, i noho alii ai o Amazia ke keiki a Ioasa ke alii o ka Iuda.
After Jehoash had been ruling Israel for almost two years, Joash’s son Amaziah became the king of Judah.
2 I ka makahiki ona he iwakaluakumamalima, i lilo ai ia i alii, a he iwakaluakumamaiwa na makahiki ana i alii ai ma Ierusalema. A o Iehoadana ka inoa o kona makuwahine no Ierusalema.
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 A hana pono aku no ia imua o Iehova; aole nae i like me ka Davida kona kupuna: hana aku no ia e like me na mea a pau a Ioasa a kona makuakane i hana'i.
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 Aka hoi, aole i laweia'ku na heiau: kaumaha aku no na kanaka, a kuni hoi i ka mea ala ma na heiau.
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 A i ka manawa i hookupaaia'i ke aupuni ma kona lima, pepehi aku la no ia i kana poe kauwa, nana i pepehi aku ke alii kona makuakane.
As soon as he was completely in control of his kingdom, he caused to be executed the officials who had murdered his father.
6 Aka, aole ia i pepehi aku i na keiki a ka poe pepehi kanaka: e like me ka palapala ma ka buke o ke kanawai o Mose, ka mea a Iehova i kauoha ai, i mai la, Aole e pepehiia na makua no na keiki, aole hoi e pepehiia na keiki no na makua; aka, e pepehiia kela kanaka keia kanaka no kona hewa iho.
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 Pepehi aku la ia i ka Edoma ma ke awawa paakai i na tausani he umi, a hoopio aku la i Sela ma ke kaua aua, a kapa aku la i kona inoa, o Ioketeela, a hiki i keia la.
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 Ia manawa hoouna aku la o Amazia i na elele io Iehoasa, ke keiki a Iehoahaza, ke keiki a Iehu ke alii o ka Iseraela, i aku la, Ea, e ike na maka o kaua.
Then Amaziah sent messengers to King Jehoash of Israel, saying “Come here and let’s talk together.”
9 A hoouna mai la o Iehoasa ke alii o ka Iseraela io Amazia la, ke alii o ka Iuda, i mai la, Hoouna aku la ka puakala ma Lebanona i ka laau kedara ma Lebanona, i aku la, E haawi mai oe i kau kaikamahine i wahine na ka'u keikikane! a hele ae la ka holoholona o Lebanona, a hehi iho la i ka puakala.
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 Ua pepehi no nae oe i ka Edoma, a ua hookiekie kou naau ia oe iho; e hoonani oe ilaila, a e noho ma kou hale; no keaha la oe e kaua pu me ka hewa, i haule iho ai oe, o oe, a me ka Iuda me oe?
[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 Aka, aole i hoolohe o Amazia: no ia mea, pii ae la o Iehoasa ke alii o ka Iseraela; a ike na maka o laua me Amazia, ke alii o ka Iuda ma Betesemesa, no ka Iuda.
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 A pepehiia aku la o ka Iuda imua o ka Iseraela, holo lakou o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona halelewa.
The Israeli army defeated the army of Judah, and all the soldiers of Judah fled and ran back home.
13 A o Iehoasa ke alii o ka Iseraela, lawe pio aku la oia ia Amazia, i ke alii o ka Iuda, ke keiki a Iehoasa, ke keiki a Ahazia ma Betesemesa, a hele mai i Ierusalema, a hoohiolo i ka papohaku o Ierusalema, mai ka ipuka o Eperaima, a hiki i ka ipuka kihi, eha haneri hailima.
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 A lawe aku la ia i ke gula a pau a me ke kala, a me na kiaha a pau i loaa ma ka hale o Iehova, a ma na waihona waiwai o ka hale o ke alii, a i na mea panihakahaka, a hoi aku la i Samaria.
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 A o na hana i koe a Iehoasa ana i hana'i, a me kona ikaika a me kona kana ana me Amazia ke alii o ka Iuda, aole anei i kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iseraela.
[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 A hiamoe iho la o Iehoasa me kona poe kupuna, a kanuia iho la ia ma Samaria me na'lii o ka Iseraela: a noho alii iho la o Ieroboama kana keiki ma kona wahi.
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 A ola iho la o Amazia ke keiki a Ioasa ke alii o ka Iuda i na makahiki he umikumamalima, mahope iho o ka make ana o Iehoasa ke keiki a Iehoahaza, ke alii o ka Iseraela.
Amaziah, the king of Judah, lived for 15 more years after Jehoash, the king of Israel, died.
18 A o na hana i koe a Amazia aole anei i kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iuda?
[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 A kipi aku la lakou ia ia ma Ierusalema, a holo aku la ia i Lakisa, a hoouna aku la lakou mahope ona i Lakisa; a pepehi aku la ia ia malaila.
Some people in Jerusalem plotted against Amaziah, so he fled to Lachish [city]. But they followed him there and killed him.
20 A lawe mai lakou ia ia maluna o na lio; a kanuia oia ma Ierusalema me kona poe kupuna ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida.
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 A lawe na kanaka a pau o ka Iuda ia Azaria, he umikumamaono kona mau makahiki, a hooalii aku la lakou ia ia i hope no Amazia kona makuakane.
Then all the people of Judah appointed Amaziah’s son Uzziah, when he was 16 years old, to be their king
22 A hana aku la ia i Elata, a hoihoi aku la ia wahi no ka Iuda mahope o ka hiamoe ana o ke alii me kona poe kupuna.
After his father died, Uzziah’s workers captured Elath [city], and it came under the control of Judah again.
23 I ka makahiki umikumamalima o Amazia ke keiki a Ioasa, ke alii o ka Iuda, i lilo ai o Ieroboama, ke keiki a Ioasa ke alii o ka Iseraela, i alii ma Samaria, he kanahakumamakahi na makahiki o kona alii ana.
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 Hana ino aku la ia imua o Iehova: aole ia i haalele i na hewa a pau o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, nana i hoolilo ka Iseraela i ka hewa.
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 Hoihoi aku no ia i ka mokuna o ka Iseraela, mai ke komo ana i Hamata, a hiki i ke kai o ka papu, e like me ka olelo a Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela ana i olelo ai ma kana kauwa, ma Iona ke keiki a Ametai, ke kaula no Gatehepera.
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 No ka mea, ua ike no o Iehova i ka mea kaumaha o ka Iseraela, he awaawa nui: no ka mea, aohe mea i paa, aohe mea i paa ole, aohe mea nana e kokua ka Iseraela.
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 Aole o Iehova i olelo mai e hookae aku ia i ka inoa o ka Iseraela malalo ae o ka lani; aku, hoopakele no ia ia lakou ma ka lima o Ieroboama ke keiki a Ioasa.
But Yahweh said that he would not destroy Israel completely, so he enabled King Jeroboam to rescue them.
28 A o na hana i koe a Ieroboama, a o na mea a pau ana i hana'i, a o kona ikaika ana i kaua aku ai, a me kona loaa ana o Damaseko, a me Hamata no ka Iuda, i ka Iseraela, aole auei i kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iseraela?
[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 A hiamoe iho la o Ieroboama me kona poe kupuna, me na'lii o ka Iseraela; a noho alii iho la o Zakaria kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.
Jeroboam died [EUP], [and was buried] where the other kings of Israel [were buried], and his son Zechariah became the king.
