2 Ndị Eze 14
1 Nʼafọ nke abụọ nke ịbụ eze Jehoash nwa Jehoahaz nʼIzrel, ka Amazaya nwa Joash eze Juda malitere ọchịchị ya.
In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel began Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah to reign.
2 Amazaya gbara iri afọ abụọ na ise mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze. Ọ bụ eze na Jerusalem iri afọ abụọ na itoolu. Aha nne ya bụ Jehoadin, onye Jerusalem.
He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.
3 O mere ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị, ma o meghị dịka nna nna ya bụ Devid mere. Nʼihe niile, ọ gbasoro nzọ ụkwụ nna ya Joash.
He did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, yet not like David his father: he did according to all that Joash his father had done.
4 Ọ wezugaghị ebe ịchụ aja niile dị nʼugwu. Ndị Juda gara nʼihu na-achụ aja na-esurekwa ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nʼelu ugwu ahụ niile.
However the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
5 Mgbe alaeze ahụ siri ike nʼọchịchị ya, o gburu ndị ozi ahụ gburu eze, bụ nna ya.
It happened, as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, that he killed his servants who had slain the king his father:
6 Ma o meghị ka ụmụ ndị ogbu mmadụ ahụ nwụọ, nʼusoro ihe e dere nʼakwụkwọ iwu Mosis, ebe Onyenwe anyị nyere iwu sị: “Agaghị eme ka ndị mụrụ ụmụ nwụọ 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 the children of the murderers he did not put to death; according to that which is written in the scroll of the law of Moses, as the LORD commanded, saying, "The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin."
7 Amazaya bụ onye gburu puku ndị agha Edọm iri na Ndagwurugwu Nnu, dọtakwa obodo Sela nʼagha, gụgharịa ya Jekteel, nke bụ aha a na-akpọ ya ruo ụbọchị taa.
He killed of Edom in the Valley of Salt ten thousand, and took Sela by war, and called its name Joktheel, to this day.
8 Mgbe ahụ, Amazaya zigara ndị ozi ka ha jekwuru Jehoash nwa Jehoahaz nwa Jehu, eze Izrel, zie ya ozi ịma aka, sị, “Bịa, ka dimkpa na ibe ya zute ihu na ihu nʼagha.”
Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, "Come, let us look one another in the face."
9 Ma Jehoash eze Izrel zighachiri ozi nye Amazaya eze Juda sị ya, “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.
Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, "The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, 'Give your daughter to my son as wife. Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled down the thistle.
10 I meriela Edọm, nʼezie. Ugbu a, mpako abatala. Ṅụrịa ọṅụ nʼihi mmeri nke i nwetara, ma nọdụ nʼụlọ gị. Nʼihi gịnị ka ị ga-eji kpaliere onwe gị nsogbu, si otu a wetara onwe gị na Juda ọdịda?”
You have indeed struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Enjoy the glory of it, and stay at home; for why should you meddle to your harm, that you should fall, even you, and Judah with you?'"
11 Ma otu ọ dị, Amazaya egeghị ntị. Ya mere, Jehoash bụ eze Izrel buliri agha, ya na Amazaya eze Juda zutere ihu na ihu nʼagha na Bet-Shemesh, dị nʼala Juda.
But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
12 Ndị Izrel meriri ndị Juda, mee ka ha gbalaga, nwoke ọbụla nʼụlọ ya.
Judah was defeated by Israel; and they fled every man to his tent.
13 Jehoash bụ eze Izrel nwudere Amazaya bụ eze Juda, nwa Joash, nwa Ahazaya na Bet-Shemesh. Mgbe ahụ, Jehoash gara Jerusalem kwada mgbidi Jerusalem, site nʼỌnụ ụzọ ama Ifrem ruo nʼọnụ ụzọ ama Nkuku, nke ogologo ya ruru narị nzọ ụkwụ isii.
Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate, six hundred eighty-nine feet.
14 Ọ chịkọrọ ọlaedo na ọlaọcha niile na ngwongwo niile ahụtara nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, na nke dị nʼụlọakụ nke ụlọeze. Ọ dọtara ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ nʼagha, kpọrọ laghachi na Sameria.
He took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
15 Ihe banyere akụkọ ndị ọzọ gbasara ọchịchị Jehoash, na ihe o mere, na ihe ọ rụpụtara, tinyere agha ọ lụrụ megide Amazaya eze Juda, ọ bụ na-edeghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe ndị eze Izrel mere nʼoge ha?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
16 Jehoash sooro nna nna ya ha dinaa nʼọnwụ, e lie ya na Sameria, ebe e liri eze ndị Izrel ndị ọzọ. Jeroboam nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his place.
17 Amazaya nwa Joash, eze Juda nọrọ ndụ afọ iri na ise, mgbe Jehoash nwa Jehoahaz, eze Izrel nwụsịrị.
Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
18 Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Amazaya, ọ bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe mere nʼoge ndị eze Juda?
Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
19 Ha gbara izuzu imegide ya nʼime Jerusalem, ọ gbapụrụ gbalaga Lakish. Ma ha zipụrụ ndị ikom chụụrụ ya gaa Lakish, gbuo ya nʼebe ahụ.
They made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent after him to Lachish, and killed him there.
20 Ha bulatara ozu ya nʼelu ịnyịnya, e lie ya na Jerusalem nʼebe e liri ndị nna nna ya ha, nʼobodo Devid.
They brought him on horses; and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the City of David.
21 Mgbe ahụ, ndị Juda niile duuru Azaraya onye aha ya bụkwa Uzaya, onye gbara afọ iri na isii, mee ya eze nʼọnọdụ nna ya Amazaya.
All the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
22 Ọ bụ ya wugharịrị obodo Elat, nyeghachi ya Juda, mgbe Amazaya eze sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ.
He built Eilat, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.
23 Nʼafọ nke iri na ise nke Amazaya nwa Joash, eze Juda, Jeroboam nwa Jehoash eze Izrel ghọrọ eze na Sameria. Ọ chịrị iri afọ anọ na otu dịka eze.
In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria for forty-one years.
24 Ma o mere ihe ọjọọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị nʼihi na o wezugaghị onwe ya site na mmehie Jeroboam nwa Nebat, onye ahụ dubara ndị Izrel na mmehie.
He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
25 Ọ bụ ya weghachitara oke ala Izrel site na Lebo Hamat ruo nʼosimiri Araba, dịka okwu Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nke Izrel si dị, nke o kwuru site nʼọnụ Jona nwa Amitai, onye amụma si Gat Hefa.
He restored the border of Israel from Lebo Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, according to the word of the LORD, the God of Israel, which he spoke by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath Hepher.
26 Onyenwe anyị hụrụ ọnọdụ ọjọọ nke ndị Izrel nọ nʼime ya; onye ọbụla nʼime ha, ohu na onye nwe onwe ya, nọ nʼoke ahụhụ. Ọ dịkwaghị onye inyeaka ọbụla ha nwere.
For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter; for there was none shut up nor left at large, neither was there any helper for Israel.
27 Ma ọ bụghị uche Onyenwe anyị ịla Izrel nʼiyi kpamkpam nʼokpuru eluigwe, nʼihi ya ka o mere ka Jeroboam nwa Jehoash napụta ha site nʼaka ndị iro ha.
The LORD did not say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the sky; but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
28 Akụkọ niile gbasara ihe niile Jeroboam mere, na ike ya niile, na agha niile o buru, na otu o si nwetaghachiri ndị Izrel obodo Damaskọs na Hamat, bụ obodo ndị Juda, ọ bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe ndị eze Izrel mere nʼụbọchị ndụ ha?
Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, for Israel, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
29 Jeroboam sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼebe e liri ndị eze Izrel nwụrụ anwụ. Ma Zekaraya nwa ya ghọrọ eze Izrel nʼọnọdụ ya.
And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, and he was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his place.
