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 and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.

2 Amaziah el oru ma su akinsewowoye LEUM GOD, tusruktu el tia oru ke insial nufon.

And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.

3 Ke pacl se ku lun tokosrai lal oan inpaol, el uniya mwet pwapa luo ma uniya papa tumal ah.

Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.

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.”

But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law of the book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall 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.

Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able to go forth to war, that could handle 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 hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for an 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 there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD is not with Israel, that is, with all the children of Ephraim.

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.”

But if thou wilt go, do it, be strong for the battle: God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath power to help, and to cast down.

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!”

And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, The LORD is able to give thee 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.

Then Amaziah separated them, that is, the army that had come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: therefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they 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,

And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand.

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 other ten thousand left alive the children of Judah carried away captive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they were all broken in 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.

But the soldiers of the army whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even to Bethhoron, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil.

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.

Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah had come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed himself before them, and burned incense 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 was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent to him a prophet, who said to him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thy 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.”

And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said to him, Art thou made of the king’s council? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet stopped, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened to my counsel.

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 advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.

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.

And Joash 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 thy daughter to my son for a wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trod down 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?”

Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thy heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to thy harm, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?

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 hear; for it came from God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after 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 Joash the king of Israel went up; and they looked one another in the face, both he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Bethshemesh, which belongeth to Judah.

22 Un mwet mweun lun Judah kutangyukla, ac elos kaingla nu yen selos.

And Judah was smote before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.

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.

And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Bethshemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, 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.

And he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obededom, and the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.

25 Yac singoul limekosr pa Tokosra Amaziah lun Judah el moul loes lukel Tokosra Jehoash lun Israel.

And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.

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].

Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, 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.

Now after the time that Amaziah turned away from following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there.

28 Utukla manol nu Jerusalem fin horse soko, ac pukpuki el inkulyuk lun mwet leum in Siti sel David.

And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
