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.
Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.
2 Ary nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, nefa tsy dia tamin’ ny fony rehetra.
He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, but not with a whole heart.
3 Ary nony tafapetraka tsara tamin’ ny fanjakany izy, dia novonoiny ireo mpanompony izay namono ny mpanjaka rainy.
It came about that as soon as his rule was well established, he killed the servants who had murdered his father, the king.
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 did not put the children of the murderers to death, but acted according to what was written in the law, in the Book of Moses, as Yahweh had commanded, “The fathers must not die for the children, nor must the children die for the fathers. Instead, every person must die 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.
Moreover, Amaziah gathered Judah together, and registered them by their ancestors' houses, under commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—all of Judah and Benjamin. He numbered them from twenty years old and upward, and found them to be 300,000 chosen men, able to go to war, who could handle spear and shield.
6 Ary nisy lehilahy mahery iray hetsy tamin’ ny Isiraely nokaramainy talenta volafotsy zato.
He hired also 100,000 fighting men from Israel for one 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.
But a man of God came to him and said, “King, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for Yahweh is not with Israel—none of the people 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.
But even if you do go and are courageous and strong in battle, God will throw you down before the enemy, for God has power to help, and power to throw down.”
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.
Amaziah said to the man of God, “But what will we do about the one hundred talents that I have given to the army of Israel?” The man of God answered, “Yahweh is able to give you much more than that.”
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.
So Amaziah separated the army that had come to him from Ephraim; he sent them home again. So their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger.
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.
Amaziah took courage and led his people to go out to the Valley of Salt; there he defeated ten thousand men of Seir.
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.
The army of Judah carried away alive another ten thousand. They took them to the top of the cliff and threw them down from there, so that they were all broken in 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.
But the men of the army which Amaziah sent back, so that they should not go with him to battle, attacked the cities of Judah from Samaria to Beth Horon. They struck down three thousand of the people and took much plunder.
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.
Now it came about, after that Amaziah had returned from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the people of Seir, and set them up to be his own gods. He bowed down before them and burned incense 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?
So Yahweh's anger was kindled against Amaziah. He sent a prophet to him, who said, “Why have you sought after the gods of a people who did not even save their own people from your 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.
It came about that as the prophet was speaking with him, the king said to him, “Have we made you an advisor to the king? Stop! Why should you be killed?” Then the prophet stopped and said, “I know that God has decided to destroy you because you have done this deed and have not listened to my advice.”
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.
Then Amaziah king of Judah consulted with advisors and sent messengers to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us meet each other face to face in battle.”
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.
But Jehoash the king of Israel sent messengers back to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “A thistle that was in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, 'Give your daughter to my son for a wife,' but a wild beast in Lebanon walked by and trampled 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?
You have said, 'See, I have struck down Edom,' and your heart has lifted you up. Take pride in your victory, but stay at home, for why should you cause yourself trouble and fall, both you and Judah with you?”
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.
But Amaziah would not listen, because this event was from God, so he might put the people of Judah into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought advice from the gods of Edom.
21 Ka dia niakatra Joasy, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely; ary izy sy Amazia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, nihaona tany Beti-semesy izay an’ i Joda.
So Jehoash, king of Israel, attacked; he and Amaziah, king of Judah, met each other face to face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
22 Dia resy teo anoloan’ ny Isiraely ny Joda, ka samy nandositra ho any amin’ ny lainy avy izy.
Judah was struck down before Israel, and every man fled home.
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.
Jehoash, king of Israel, captured Amaziah son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, at Beth Shemesh. He brought him to Jerusalem and tore down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits in distance.
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.
He took all the gold and silver, all the objects that were found in the house of God with Obed Edom, and the valuable things in the king's house, with hostages also, and 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.
Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, lived fifteen years after the death of Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
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?
As for the other matters concerning Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah 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.
Now from the time that Amaziah turned away from following Yahweh, they began to make a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. He fled to Lachish, but they sent men after him to Lachish and killed him there.
28 Ary nasampiny tamin’ ny soavaly ny fatiny, dia naleviny tao amin’ ny razany tao an-tanànan’ ny Joda.
They brought him back on horses and buried him with his ancestors in the city of Judah.
