Luo Chronicle 25
1 Amaziah el tokosrala ke el yac longoul limekosr, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac longoul eu. Nina kial pa Jehoaddin, sie mutan Jerusalem.
Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan; she was from Jerusalem.
2 Amaziah el oru ma su akinsewowoye LEUM GOD, tusruktu el tia oru ke insial nufon.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, but not wholeheartedly.
3 Ke pacl se ku lun tokosrai lal oan inpaol, el uniya mwet pwapa luo ma uniya papa tumal ah.
As soon as the kingdom was firmly in his grasp, Amaziah executed the servants who had murdered his father the king.
4 Tusruktu el tiana uniya tulik natultal, a el fahsrna ke ma LEUM GOD El sapkin in Ma Sap lal Moses ma fahk mu, “Papa ac nina ac fah tia anwuki ke ma koluk lun tulik natulos, ac tulik uh ac fah tia anwuki ke ma koluk lun papa ku nina. Sie mwet ac fah anwuki ke ma koluk su el sifacna orala.”
Yet he did not put their sons to death, but acted according to what is written in the Law, in the Book of Moses, where the LORD commanded: “Fathers must not be put to death for their children, and children must not be put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin.”
5 Tokosra Amaziah el sap mukul nukewa in sruf lun Judah ac Benjamin ma yac longoulyak in kitakatelik nu ke kais sie un mwet mweun, fal nu ke sou lulap lalos. El sang in oasr captain fin tausin ac fin foko. Oasr mwet tolfoko tausin su solla ac akola nu ke mweun, ac elos mwet na sasla ke anwuk ke osra ac mwe loang.
Then Amaziah gathered the people of Judah and assigned them according to their families to commanders of thousands and of hundreds. And he numbered those twenty years of age or older throughout Judah and Benjamin and found 300,000 chosen men able to serve in the army, bearing the spear and shield.
6 Sayen mwet inge, el srukak pac mwet mweun siofok tausin sin mwet Israel, ac lupan silver ma el sang moli nu selos akuran sun oalkosr tausin paun.
He also hired 100,000 mighty warriors from Israel for a hundred talents of silver.
7 A sie mwet palu som nu yorol tokosra ac fahk nu sel, “Nimet us mwet mweun lun Israel inge in wi kom. LEUM GOD El tia wi mwet inge su ma in Tokosrai Epang.
But a man of God came to him and said, “O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD is not with Israel—not with any of the Ephraimites.
8 Sahp kom ac nunku mu elos ac oru tuh kom in kui ke pacl in mweun, tusruktu ku lun God mukena pa ac sot kutangla ku tia kutangla uh, na El ac lela mwet lokoalok lom in kutangkomla.”
Even if you go and fight bravely in battle, God will make you stumble before the enemy, for God has power to help and power to overthrow.”
9 Amaziah el siyuk sin mwet palu sac, “Na ac fuka mani na yohk nga sang molelosla tari ah?” Mwet palu sac topuk ac fahk, “LEUM GOD El ku in folokonot yohk liki ma ingan!”
Amaziah asked the man of God, “What should I do about the hundred talents I have given to the army of Israel?” And the man of God replied, “The LORD is able to give you much more than this.”
10 Ouinge Amaziah el supwala un mwet se el moli ah, ac sap elos in folokla nu yen selos. Na elos folokla ac arulana kasrkusrak sin mwet Judah.
So Amaziah dismissed the troops who had come to him from Ephraim and sent them home. And they were furious with Judah and returned home in great anger.
11 Amaziah el sifacna oru elan pulaik, ac kolla mwet lal ah nu Infahlfal Sohl. Elos mweun we ac uniya singoul tausin mwet mweun lun Edom,
Amaziah, however, summoned his strength and led his troops to the Valley of Salt, where he struck down 10,000 men of Seir,
12 ac sruokya pac mwet singoul tausin saya. Elos pwanla mwet mweun inge nwe fin fulu se in siti Sela, ac siselosla nwe ten, ac elos misa ke eot ma oan ten.
and the army of Judah also captured 10,000 men alive. They took them to the top of a cliff and threw them down so that all were dashed to pieces.
13 In pacl se inge, mwet mweun Israel ma Amaziah el tia lela in welul ah, elos mweuni siti lun Judah ma oan inmasrlon Samaria ac Beth Horon. Elos uniya mukul tolu tausin, ac eisla ma wap pukanten.
Meanwhile the troops that Amaziah had dismissed from battle raided the cities of Judah, from Samaria to Beth-horon. They struck down 3,000 people and carried off a great deal of plunder.
14 Ke Amaziah el kutangla mwet Edom ac foloko nu yen sel, el use ma sruloala lalos, oakiya ke acn se, alu nu kac, ac el akosak pac mwe keng nu kac.
When Amaziah returned from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought back the gods of the Seirites, set them up as his own gods, bowed before them, and burned sacrifices to them.
15 Ma inge aktoasrye LEUM GOD, ouinge El supwala mwet sie palu nu yorol Amaziah. Na mwet palu sac siyuk suwoswosang nu sel, “Efu ku kom alu nu sin god saya su tia ku in molela mwet lalos sifacna liki ku lom?”
Therefore the anger of the LORD burned against Amaziah, and He sent him a prophet, who said, “Why have you sought this people’s gods, which could not deliver them from your hand?”
16 Ke mwet palu sac srakna kaskas Amaziah el kutongol ac fahk, “Kut orala ngac mu kom pa ac fahk nu sin tokosra ma el ac oru? Nimet sifilpa kas, nga unikomi!” Mwet palu sac tui, tusruktu el fahkla kas se inge, “Inge nga etu lah LEUM GOD El wotela tari mu El ac kunauskomla, mweyen kom oru ma inge ac tia lohng ma nga fahk uh.”
While he was still speaking, the king asked, “Have we made you the counselor to the king? Stop! Why be struck down?” So the prophet stopped, but he said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not heeded my advice.”
17 Tokosra Amaziah lun Judah ac mwet pwapa lal elos pwapani in lain mwet Israel. Na Amaziah el supwala kas nu sel Tokosra Jehoash lun Israel, su wen natul Jehoahaz ac nutin natul Jehu, ac el srike in purakulak in mweun lainul.
Then Amaziah king of Judah took counsel and sent word to the king of Israel Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu. “Come, let us meet face to face,” he said.
18 Jehoash el supwala top lal nu sel Amaziah ac fahk, “Sie pacl ah, sak kokul soko Fineol Lebanon el supwala kas se nu sin sak cedar soko ac fahk, ‘Ase acn nutum an in payuk sin wen nutik uh.’ Na kosro lemnak soko fahsryak lolongya sak kokul soko ah.
But Jehoash king of Israel replied to Amaziah king of Judah: “A thistle in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son in marriage.’ Then a wild beast in Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle.
19 Inge, Amaziah, kom konkin mu kom kutangla mwet Edom, tuh nga fahk nu sum, wo kom in mutana yen sum. Efu kom ku purakak mwe tukulkul ma ac oru tuh kom ac mwet lom in musalla kac?”
You have said, ‘Look, I have defeated Edom,’ and your heart has become proud and boastful. Now stay at home. Why should you stir up trouble so that you fall—you and Judah with you?”
20 Tusruktu Amaziah el tia lungse lohng. Ma inge oakwuk lun LEUM GOD nu sel Amaziah, tuh in kutangyukla el mweyen el alu nu sin ma sruloala lun mwet Edom.
But Amaziah would not listen, for this had come from God in order to deliver them into the hand of Jehoash, because they had sought the gods of Edom.
21 Ouinge Tokosra Jehoash lun Israel el som in mweuni Tokosra Amaziah lun Judah. Elos osun in Beth Shemesh in acn Judah.
So Jehoash king of Israel advanced, and he and Amaziah king of Judah faced each other at Beth-shemesh in Judah.
22 Un mwet mweun lun Judah kutangyukla, ac elos kaingla nu yen selos.
And Judah was routed before Israel, and every man fled to his own home.
23 Jehoash el sruokilya Amaziah ac usalla nu Jerusalem. Na Jehoash el kunausya pot lun siti uh inmasrlon Mutunpot Ephraim nwe ke Mutunpot in Sruwasrik. Lusen acn se ma musalla inge oasr ke yact luofoko.
There at Beth-shemesh, Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz. Then Jehoash brought him to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate—a section of four hundred cubits.
24 El usla gold ac silver nukewa ma oan in Tempul, oayapa kufwa lun Tempul su karinginyuk sin tulik natul Obed Edom, wi pac ma saok in lohm sin tokosra, ac el us ma inge nukewa ac folokla nu Samaria. El usla pac kutu mwet sruoh welul.
He took all the gold and silver and all the articles found in the house of God with Obed-edom and in the treasuries of the royal palace, as well as some hostages. Then he returned to Samaria.
25 Yac singoul limekosr pa Tokosra Amaziah lun Judah el moul loes lukel Tokosra Jehoash lun Israel.
Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.
26 Ma nukewa saya ma Amaziah el orala ke pacl el tokosra, ke mutawauk nwe ke safla, simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Judah Ac Israel].
As for the rest of the acts of Amaziah, from beginning to end, are they not written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel?
27 Ke pacl se na ma Amaziah el oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD ah me, oasr na pwapa koluk orek lainul in Jerusalem, pwanang el tuh kaingla nu in siti Lachish. Tusruktu mwet lokoalok lal ukwalla nwe we ac unilya.
From the time that Amaziah turned from following the LORD, a conspiracy was formed against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But men were sent after him to Lachish, and they killed him there.
28 Utukla manol nu Jerusalem fin horse soko, ac pukpuki el inkulyuk lun mwet leum in Siti sel David.
They carried him back on horses and buried him with his fathers in the City of Judah.
