2 Tantara 25

1 Dimy amby roa-polo taona Amazia, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary sivy amby roa-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Joadana, avy any Jerosalema.

Amasias began to reign when he was twenty and five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name [was] Joadaen of Jerusalem.

2 Ary nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, nefa tsy dia tamin’ ny fony rehetra.

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

3 Ary nony tafapetraka tsara tamin’ ny fanjakany izy, dia novonoiny ireo mpanompony izay namono ny mpanjaka rainy.

And it came to pass, when the kingdom was established in his hand, that he slew his servants who had slain the king his father.

4 Nefa ny zanak’ ireo namono dia tsy mba novonoiny, fa nataony araka izay voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny lalàna, dia ao amin’ ny bokin’ i Mosesy, izay nandidian’ i Jehovah hoe: Ny ray tsy hatao maty amin’ ny ataon’ ny zanany, ary ny zanaka tsy hatao maty amin’ ny ataon’ ny rainy, fa samy ho faty amin’ ny fahotany avy ny olona.

But he slew not their sons, according to the covenant of the law of the Lord, as it is written, [and] as the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, and the sons shall not die for the fathers, but they shall die each for his own sin.

5 Ary novorin’ i Amazia ny Joda, ka nalahany araka ny fianakaviany avy, dia araka ny mpifehy arivo sy ny mpifehy zato avy amin’ ny Joda sy ny Benjamina rehetra: dia nisainy ny hatramin’ ny roa-polo taona no ho miakatra, ka olona telo hetsy voafantina no hitany, izay azo nalefa hanafika sady nahatan-defona sy ampinga lehibe.

And Amasias assembled the house of Juda, and appointed them according to the houses of their families for captains of thousands and captains of hundreds in all Juda and Jerusalem: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upwards, and found them three hundred thousand able to go out to war, holding spear and shield.

6 Ary nisy lehilahy mahery iray hetsy tamin’ ny Isiraely nokaramainy talenta volafotsy zato.

Also he hired of Israel a hundred thousand mighty [men for] a hundred talents of silver.

7 Nefa nisy lehilahin’ Andriamanitra tonga tao aminy ka nanao hoe: Ry mpanjaka, aza avela hanaraka anao ny miaramilan’ ny Isiraely; fa tsy omban’ i Jehovah ny Isiraely, dia ny taranak’ i Efraima rehetra.

And there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the host of Israel go with thee; for the Lord is not with Israel, [even] all the sons of Ephraim.

8 Fa mandehana ihany ianao, ka manaova, ary mahereza amin’ ny ady; fa hataon’ Andriamanitra lavo eo anoloan’ ny fahavalo ianao; fa Andriamanitra no mahay mamonjy sy mampahalavo.

For if thou shalt undertake to strengthen [thyself] with these, then the lord shall put thee to flight before the enemies: for it is of the Lord both to strengthen and to put to flight.

9 Fa hoy Amazia tamin’ ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra: Ka hataontsika ahoana ny amin’ ny talenta zato nomeko ny miaramilan’ ny Isiraely? Asy hoy ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra taminy: Jehovah mahay manome anao mihoatra lavitra noho izany.

And Amasias said to the man of God, But what shall I do [for] the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God said, The Lord can give thee much more than these.

10 Dia navahan’ i Amazia ireo miaramila tonga tao aminy avy tamin’ ny Efraima ireo mba hody indray; ary nirehitra mafy ny fahatezeran’ ireo tamin’ ny Joda, dia lasa nody izy sady tezitra indrindra.

And Amasias separated from the army that came to him from Ephraim, that they might go away to their place; and they were very angry with Juda, and they returned to their place with great wrath.

11 Ary Amazia nitombo hery, dia nitarika ny vahoakany ka nankany amin’ ny Lohasahan-tsira, ary nahafaty iray alina tamin’ ny taranak’ i Seïra izy.

And Amasias strengthened [himself], and took his people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote there the children of Seir ten thousand.

12 Ary ny iray alina sisa nataon’ ny taranak’ i Joda sambo-belona, dia nentiny teo an-tampon’ ny hantsam-bato ary navariny teo, ka montsamontsana izy rehetra.

And the children of Juda took ten thousand prisoners, and they carried them to the top of the precipice, and cast them headlong from the top of the precipice, and they were all dashed to pieces.

13 Fa ireo miaramila izay nampodin’ i Amazia tsy hiara-manafika aminy dia nihahakahaka teny an-tanànan’ ny Joda hatrany Samaria ka hatrany Beti-horona ka nahafaty olona telo arivo tany sady nahazo babo betsaka.

And the men of the host whom Amasias sent back so that they should not go with him to battle, [went] and attacked the cities of Juda, from Samaria to Baethoron; and they smote three thousand among them, and took much spoil.

14 Ary Amazia, nony niverina avy nanafika ny Edomita, dia nitondra ny andriamanitry ny taranak’ i Seïra ka nanangana azy ho andriamaniny; ary niankohoka teo anatrehany izy sady nandoro ditin-kazo manitra ho azy.

And it came to pass, after Amasias had returned from smiting Idumea, that he brought home the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up for himself as gods, and bowed down before them, and he sacrificed to them.

15 Dia nirehitra tamin’ Amazia ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, ka naniraka mpaminany anankiray ho any aminy Izy hanontany azy, hoe: Nahoana ianao no mitady ny andriamanitry ny firenena, izay tsy naharo ny olony tamin’ ny tananao aza?

And the anger of the Lord came upon Amasias, and he sent him a prophet, and he said to him, Why hast thou sought the gods of the people, which have not rescued their own people out of thine hand?

16 Ary raha niteny taminy izy, dia novaliany hoe: Moa voatendrinay ho mpanolo-tsaina ny mpanjaka va Hianao? Aoka itsy ange, fandrao asian’ ny olona ianao. Dia nitsahatra ilay mpaminany ka nanao hoe: Fantatro fa Andriamanitra mikasa hahafaty anao satria nanao izany ianao ka tsy nihaino ny anatro.

And it came to pass when the prophet was speaking to him, that he said to him, have I made thee king's counsellor? take heed lest thou be scourged: and the prophet forebore, and said, I know that [God] is disposed against thee to destroy thee, because thou hast done this thing, and hast not hearkened to my counsel.

17 Ary Amazia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, naka hevitra, dia naniraka tany amin’ i Joasy, zanak’ i Joahaza, zanak’ i Jeho, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, izy hanao hoe: Avia, aoka isika hihaona.

And Amasias king of Juda took counsel, and sent to Joas, son of Joachaz, son of Jeu, king of Israel, saying, Come, and let us look one another in the face.

18 Fa Joasy, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, naniraka tany amin’ i Amazia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, nanao hoe: Ny tsilo izay tany Libanona naniraka tamin’ ny hazo sedera izay tany Libanona nanao hoe: Omeo ny zanakolahy ny zanakaovavy ho vadiny; dia namaky teo ny bibi-dia tany Libanona ka nanosihosy ny tsilo.

And Joas king of Israel sent to Amasias king of Juda, saying, The thistle that was in Libanus sent to the cedar that was in Libanus, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife; but, behold, thy wild beasts of the field that are in Libanus shall come: and the wild beasts did come, and trod down the thistle.

19 Lazainao fa namely an’ i Edoma ianao, ka dia nanesika anao hirehareha ny fonao; mitoera ihany ange ao an-tranonao, fa nahoana no hihaika ny loza hahalavo ny tenanao mbamin’ ny Joda koa ianao?

Thou hast said, Behold, I have smitten Idumea, and thy stout heart exalts thee: now stay at home; for why dost thou implicate thyself in mischief, that thou shouldest fall, and Juda with thee.

20 Fa tsy nanaiky Amazia, satria avy tamin’ Andriamanitra izany, mba hanolorany azy ho eo an-tànan’ ny fahavalony noho ny nitadiavany ny andriamanitry ny Edomita.

Nevertheless Amasias hearkened not, for it was of the Lord to deliver him into [the enemy's] hands, because he sought after the gods of the Idumeans.

21 Ka dia niakatra Joasy, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely; ary izy sy Amazia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, nihaona tany Beti-semesy izay an’ i Joda.

So Joas king of Israel went up; and they saw one another, he and Amasias king of Juda, in Baethsamys, which is of Juda.

22 Dia resy teo anoloan’ ny Isiraely ny Joda, ka samy nandositra ho any amin’ ny lainy avy izy.

And Juda was put to flight before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.

23 Ary Amazia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, zanak’ Joasy, zanak’ i Joahaza, dia nosamborin’ i Joasy, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, tany Beti-semesy ka nentiny nankany Jerosalema; ary nandravan’ i Joasy efa-jato hakiho ny mandan’ i Jerosalema hatramin’ ny vavahadin’ i Efraima ka hatramin’ ny vavahady an-jorony.

And Joas king of Israel took prisoner Amasias king of Juda, [son] of Joas, son of Joachaz, in Baethsamys, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he pulled down [part] of the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

24 Ary nalainy avokoa ny volamena sy ny volafotsy rehetra ary ny fanaka rehetra izay hita tao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra tao amin’ i Obed-edoma sy tamin’ ny rakitry ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka mbamin’ ny olona natao antoka koa, ka dia niverina ho any Samaria izy.

And [he took] all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the Lord and with Abdedom, and the treasures of the king's house, and the hostages, and he returned to Samaria.

25 Ary ny andro niainan’ i Amazia zanak’ i Joasy, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, taorian’ ny nahafatesan’ i Joasy, zanak’ i Joahaza, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, dia dimy ambin’ ny folo taona.

And Amasias the [son] of Joas king of Juda lived after the death of Joas the [son] of Joachaz king of Israel fifteen years.

26 Ary ny tantaran’ i Amazia sisa, na ny voalohany na ny farany, indro, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda sy ny Isiraely va izany?

And the rest of the acts of Amasias, the first and the last, Lo! are they not written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel?

27 Ary hatramin’ ny andro nihemoran’ i Amazia tsy nanaraka an’ i Jehovah dia niodina taminy tany Jerosalema ny olona, ka dia nandositra nankany Lakisy izy; fa naniraka nanaraka azy tany ny olona ka namono azy tany.

And at the time when Amasias departed from the Lord, then they formed a conspiracy against him; and he fled from Jerusalem to Lachis: and they sent after him to Lachis, and slew him there.

28 Ary nasampiny tamin’ ny soavaly ny fatiny, dia naleviny tao amin’ ny razany tao an-tanànan’ ny Joda.

And they took him up on horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of David.
