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 Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned hath Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah;
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.
a son of twenty and five years was he in his reigning, and twenty and nine years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jehoaddan 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.
and he doth that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah, only not like David his father, according to all that Joash his father did he hath 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.
only, the high places have not turned aside — yet are the people sacrificing and making perfume in high places.
5 Mgbe alaeze ahụ siri ike nʼọchịchị ya, o gburu ndị ozi ahụ gburu eze, bụ nna ya.
And it cometh to pass, when the kingdom hath been strong in his hand, that he smiteth his servants, those smiting 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.”
and the sons of those smiting [him] he hath not put to death, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses that Jehovah commanded, saying, 'Fathers are not put to death for sons, and sons are not put to death for fathers, but each for his own sin is put to death.'
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 hath smitten Edom, in the valley of salt — ten thousand, and seized Selah in war, and [one] calleth its name Joktheel unto 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 hath Amaziah sent messengers unto Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, 'Come, we 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.
And Jehoash king of Israel sendeth unto Amaziah king of Judah, saying, 'The thorn that [is] in Lebanon hath sent unto the cedar that [is] in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son for a wife; and pass by doth a beast of the field that [is] in Lebanon, and treadeth down the thorn.
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?”
Thou hast certainly smitten Edom, and thy heart hath lifted thee up; be honoured, and abide in thy house; and why dost thou stir thyself up in evil, that thou hast fallen, thou, and Judah with thee?'
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.
And Amaziah hath not hearkened, and go up doth Jehoash king of Israel, and they look one another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, in Beth-Shemesh, that [is] Judah's,
12 Ndị Izrel meriri ndị Juda, mee ka ha gbalaga, nwoke ọbụla nʼụlọ ya.
and Judah is smitten before Israel, and they flee each 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.
And Amaziah king of Judah, son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, caught hath Jehoash king of Israel in Beth-Shemesh, and they come in to Jerusalem, and he bursteth through the wall of Jerusalem, at the gate of Ephraim unto the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits,
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.
and hath taken all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that are found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the house of the king, and the sons of the pledges, and turneth back 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?
And the rest of the matters of Jehoash that he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written on 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.
And Jehoash lieth with his fathers, and is buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel, and reign doth Jeroboam his son in his stead.
17 Amazaya nwa Joash, eze Juda nọrọ ndụ afọ iri na ise, mgbe Jehoash nwa Jehoahaz, eze Izrel nwụsịrị.
And Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah liveth 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?
and the rest of the matters of Amaziah are they not written on 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.
And they make a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fleeth to Lachish, and they send after him to Lachish, and put him to death there,

he hath built Elath, and bringeth it back to Judah, after the lying of the king 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 son of Joash king of Judah, reigned hath Jeroboam son of Joash king of Israel in Samaria — forty and 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.
and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, he hath not turned aside from all the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that he caused 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 hath brought back the border of Israel, from the entering in of Hamath unto the sea of the desert, according to the word of Jehovah, God of Israel, that He spake by the hand of His servant Jonah son of Amittai the prophet, who [is] 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 Jehovah hath seen the affliction of Israel — very bitter, and there is none restrained, and there is none left, and there is no helper to 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.
and Jehovah hath not spoken to blot out the name of Israel from under the heavens, and saveth them by the hand of Jeroboam 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?
And the rest of the matters of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought, and with which he brought back Damascus, and Hamath of Judah, into Israel, are they not written on 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 lieth with his fathers, with the kings of Israel, and reign doth Zechariah his son in his stead.
