2 Ihe E Mere 25
1 Amazaya gbara iri afọ abụọ na ise mgbe e mere ya eze, ọ chịrị dịka eze iri afọ abụọ na itoolu na Jerusalem. Nne ya bụ Jehoadin onye Jerusalem.
Amaziah was fiue and twentie yere old when he began to reigne, and he reigned nine and twentie yeere in Ierusalem: and his mothers name was Iehoaddan, of Ierusalem.
2 O mere ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị, ma o jighị obi ya niile mee nke a.
And he did vprightly in the eyes of the Lord, but not with a perfite heart.
3 Mgbe alaeze guzosiri ike nʼokpuru ọchịchị ya, o gburu ndị ozi ahụ gburu eze, bụ nna ya.
And when the kingdome was established vnto him, he slewe his seruants, that had slaine the King his father.
4 Ma o meghị ka ụmụ ha nwụọ, kama ọ gbasoro usoro ihe e dere nʼakwụkwọ iwu Mosis, ebe Onyenwe anyị nyere iwu sị: “Ndị mụrụ ụmụ agaghị anwụ nʼihi ihe ụmụ ha metara, maọbụ mee ka ụmụ nwụọ nʼihi ihe ndị mụrụ ha metara, onye ọbụla ga-anwụ nʼihi mmehie nke aka ya.”
But he slewe not their children, but did as it is written in the Lawe, and in the booke of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not dye for the children, neyther shall the children die for the fathers, but euery man shall dye for his owne sinne.
5 Amazaya kpọkọtara ndị Juda, guzo ha dịka ezinaụlọ ha si dị, kenye ha nʼokpuru ndị ọchịagha na-achị ọtụtụ puku ndị agha, na ndị na-achị ọtụtụ narị ndị agha, bụ ndị Juda na ndị Benjamin niile. Mgbe ọ gụrụ ndị dị afọ iri abụọ maọbụ karịa ọnụ, ọ chọpụtara na ha dị narị puku ndị ikom atọ ndị tozuru iji ùbe na ọta buo agha.
And Amaziah assembled Iudah, and made them captaines ouer thousandes, and captaines ouer hundreths, according to the houses of their fathers, thorowout all Iudah and Beniamin: and he nombred them from twentie yeere olde and aboue, and founde among them three hundreth thousand chosen men, to goe foorth to the warre, and to handle speare and shield.
6 O ji narị talenti ọlaọcha gota narị puku ndị agha site nʼala Izrel.
He hyred also an hundreth thousand valiant men out of Israel for an hundreth talents of siluer.
7 Ma otu onye nke Chineke bịakwutere ya, sị ya; “Eze, ka ndị agha a si Izrel ghara isonyere gị, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị anọnyereghị ndị Izrel, ọ nọnyereghị onye ọbụla sitere nʼIfrem.
But a man of God came to him, saying, O King, let not the armie of Israel goe with thee: for the Lord is not with Israel, neither with all the house of Ephraim.
8 A sịkwarị na i jiri obi dimkpa ga agha a, Chineke ga-eme ka ndị iro gị merie gị, nʼihi na Chineke bụ onye nwere ike inyere mmadụ aka maọbụ ime ka ọ sụọ ngọngọ.”
If not, goe thou on, doe it, make thy selfe strong to the battel, but God shall make thee fall before the enemie: for God hath power to helpe, and to cast downe.
9 Amazaya sịrị onye nke Chineke ahụ, “Gịnị kwanụ ka anyị ga-eme banyere narị ego talenti m kwụrụ maka ndị agha Izrel?” Onye nke Chineke ahụ zara, “Onyenwe anyị pụrụ inye gị karịa nke ahụ.”
And Amaziah sayde to the man of God, What shall we doe then for the hundreth talents, which I haue giuen to the hoste of Israel? Then the man of God answered, The Lord is able to giue thee more then this.
10 Amazaya zighachiri ndị agha Izrel ahụ azụ ka ha laa, bụ ndị a si nʼIfrem bịakwute ya. Ha were iwe nke ukwuu megide Juda, jirikwa oke iwe laghachi nʼụlọ ha.
So Amaziah separated them, to wit, the armie that was come to him out of Ephraim, to returne to their place: wherefore their wrath was kindled greatly against Iudah, and they returned to their places with great anger.
11 Amazaya duuru ndị agha ya gaa na Ndagwurugwu Nnu, ebe o gburu ndị ikom Sia dị puku iri.
Then Amaziah was encouraged, and led forth his people, and went to the salt valley, and smote of the children of Seir, ten thousand.
12 Ndị agha Juda nwudoro puku ndị ikom iri ọzọ na ndụ, duru ha gaa nʼelu nkume dị elu, si nʼebe ahụ tụda ha niile, nke mere na ha niile kụpịasịrị.
And other ten thousand did the children of Iudah take aliue, and caryed them to the top of a rocke, and cast them downe from the top of the rocke, and they all burst to pieces.
13 Ma ndị agha ahụ Amazaya zilagara, ka ha ghara iso ya gaa agha, wakporo ọtụtụ obodo ndị Juda site na Sameria ruo Bet-Horon. Ha gburu puku mmadụ atọ nʼime ha, bukọrọkwa ọtụtụ ihe nkwata nʼagha, buru ha laa.
But the men of the armie, which Amaziah sent away, that they should not goe with his people to battell, fell vpon the cities of Iudah from Samaria vnto Beth-horon, and smote three thousand of them, and tooke much spoyle.
14 Mgbe Amazaya sitere nʼagha ebe o gburu ọtụtụ ndị Edọm lọta, o bulatara chi nke ndị Sia. O guzobere ha dịka chi ndị nke aka ya, kpọọ isiala nye ha ma surekwa aja nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nye ha.
Now after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them vp to be his gods, and worshipped them, and burned incense vnto them.
15 Iwe Onyenwe anyị dị ukwuu megide Amazaya. O zigaara ya onye amụma, onye sịrị, “Nʼihi gịnị ka iji ajụ ase site nʼaka chi nke ndị ahụ, bụ ndị na-enweghị ike ịzọpụta ndị ha site nʼaka gị?”
Wherefore the Lord was wroth with Amaziah, and sent vnto him a Prophet, which sayd vnto him, Why hast thou sought the gods of the people, which were not able to deliuer their owne people out of thine hand?
16 Mgbe ọ ka kpụ okwu nʼọnụ ya, eze sịrị ya; “Mechie ọnụ! Ị chọrọ ịnwụ? Ole mgbe ka anyị mere gị onye na-adụ eze ọdụ?” Ya mere, onye amụma ahụ kwụsịrị, ma sị, “Amaara m na Chineke ekpebiela ịla gị nʼiyi, nʼihi na i mere nke a ma jụkwa ige ntị na ndụmọdụ m.”
And as he talked with him, he said vnto him, Haue they made thee the Kings counseler? cease thou: why should they smite thee? And the Prophet ceased, but said, I knowe that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not obeyed my counsell.
17 Emesịa, mgbe Amazaya, eze Juda gbachara izu ya na ndị ndụmọdụ ya, o zigara Jehoash nwa Jehoahaz, nwa Jehu, eze Izrel ozi ịma aka, sị, “Bịa ka dimkpa na ibe ya zute ihu na ihu nʼagha.”
Then Amaziah King of Iudah tooke counsell, and sent to Ioash the sonne of Iehoahaz, the sonne of Iehu King of Israel, saying, Come, let vs see one another in the face.
18 Ma Jehoash eze Izrel, zighachiri ozi nye Amazaya eze Juda, sị; “Uke dị na Lebanọn zigaara osisi sida nke dị na Lebanọn ozi sị ya, ‘Nye nwa m nwoke nwa gị nwanyị ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya.’ Mgbe ahụ, anụ ọhịa nke dị na Lebanọn gafetere ebe ahụ zọpịa uke ahụ.
But Ioash King of Israel sent to Amaziah King of Iudah, saying, The thistle that is in Lebanon, sent to the cedar that is in Lebanon, saying, Giue thy daughter to my sonne to wife: and the wilde beast that was in Lebanon went and trode downe the thistle.
19 Ị na-asị onwe gị, na i meriela Edọm, ugbu a, mpako abatala, isi a na-ebu gị. Ma nọdụ nʼụlọ gị. Nʼihi gịnị ka ị ga-eji kpaliere onwe gị nsogbu, si otu a wetara onwe gị na Juda ọdịda?”
Thou thinkest: lo, thou hast smitten Edom, and thine heart lifteth thee vp to bragge: abide now at home: why doest thou prouoke to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, and Iudah with thee?
20 Ma Amazaya egeghị ntị, nʼihi na Chineke na-akwado inyefe ya nʼaka Jehoash onye iro ha, nʼihi na ha chọrọ chi ndị Edọm gawa.
But Amaziah would not heare: for it was of God, that he might deliuer them into his had, because they had sought the gods of Edom.
21 Ya mere, Jehoash bụ eze Izrel buliri agha. Ya na Amazaya eze Juda zutere ihu na ihu nʼagha na Bet-Shemesh, dị nʼala Juda.
So Ioash the King of Israel went vp: and he, and Amaziah King of Iudah saw one another in the face at Bethshemesh, which is in Iudah.
22 Ndị Izrel meriri ndị Juda, mee ka ha gbalaga, nwoke ọbụla nʼụlọ ya.
And Iudah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled euery man to his tents.
23 Jehoash, bụ eze Izrel nwudere Amazaya eze Juda, nwa Joash, nwa Ahazaya na Bet-Shemesh. Mgbe ahụ, Jehoash duuru ya bịa na Jerusalem, kwada mgbidi Jerusalem, site nʼỌnụ ụzọ ama Ifrem ruo nʼọnụ ụzọ ama Nkuku, nke ogologo ya ruru narị nzọ ụkwụ isii.
But Ioash the King of Israel tooke Amaziah King of Iudah, the sonne of Ioash, the sonne of Iehoahaz in Bethshemesh, and brought him to Ierusalem, and brake downe the wall of Ierusalem, from the gate of Ephraim vnto the corner gate, foure hundreth cubites.
24 Ọ chịkọrọ ọlaedo na ọlaọcha niile na ngwongwo niile ahụtara nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke, nke e tinyere nʼaka Obed-Edọm ilekọta, tinyekwara akụ niile dị nʼụlọeze. Ọ dọọrọ ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ nʼagha, kpọrọ laghachi na Sameria.
And he tooke all the gold and the siluer, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obed Edom, and in the treasures of the Kings house, and the children that were in hostage, and returned to Samaria.
25 Amazaya nwa Joash, eze Juda nọrọ ndụ afọ iri na ise, mgbe Jehoash nwa Jehoahaz, eze Izrel nwụsịrị.
And Amaziah the sonne of Ioash King of Iudah liued after the death of Ioash sonne of Iehoahaz King of Israel, fifteene yeere.
26 Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Amazaya, site na mmalite ruo ọgwụgwụ, ọ bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ndị eze Juda na Izrel?
Concerning the rest of the actes of Amaziah first and last, are they not written in the booke of the Kings of Iudah and Israel?
27 Site nʼoge Amazaya gbakụtara Onyenwe anyị azụ, ha gbara izuzu imegide ya nʼime Jerusalem. Ọ gbapụrụ gbalaga Lakish, ma ha zipụrụ ndị ikom chụụrụ ya gaa Lakish, gbuo ya nʼebe ahụ.
Nowe after the time that Amaziah did turne away from ye Lord, they wrought treason against him in Ierusalem: and when he was fled to Lachish, they sent to Lachish after him, and slewe him there.
28 Ha bulatara ozu ya nʼelu ịnyịnya, e lie ya nʼebe e liri nna nna ya ha nʼobodo Juda.
And they brought him vpon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the citie of Iudah.
