2 Mpanjaka 14
1 Tamin’ ny taona faharoa nanjakan’ i Joasy, zanak’ i Joahaza, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, no vao nanjakan’ i Amazia, zanak’ i Joasy, mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
Amaziah, son of Joash, became king of Judah in the second year of the reign of Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
2 Dimy amby roa-polo taona izy, fony vao nanjaka, ary sivy amby roa-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Joadana, avy any Jerosalema.
He was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years. His mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
3 Ary nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, nefa tsy dia tahaka an’ i Davida rainy; fa tahaka izay rehetra nataon’ i Joasy rainy ihany no nataony.
He did what was right in the Lord's sight, but not in the same way as his forefather David had. He did everything just as his father Joash had done.
4 Kanefa ny fitoerana avo tsy mba noravana; fa mbola namono zavatra hatao fanatitra sady nandoro ditin-kazo manitra teny amin’ ny fitoerana avo ihany ny olona.
But the high places were not removed. The people still were sacrificing and presenting burn offerings in those places.
5 Ary nony tafapetraka tsara teo an-tànany ny fanjakany, dia novonoiny ireo mpanompony izay namono ny mpanjaka rainy.
Once he was secure on the throne he executed the officials who had murdered his father the king.
6 Fa ny zanak’ ireo namono kosa dia tsy mba novonoiny, fa nataony araka izay voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny lalàn’ 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 hatao maty amin’ ny fahotany avy ny olona.
But he did not execute the murderers' children, following the Lord's command in the law of Moses that “Fathers must not be put to death for their children's sins, and children must not be put to death for their father's sins. Everyone is to die for their own sin.”
7 Izy no nahafaty ny Edomita iray alina tao amin’ ny Lohasahan-tsira sady nahafaka an’ i Sela tamin’ ny ady ary nanao azy hoe Joktela, izay mbola anarany mandraka androany.
Amaziah killed ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. He attacked and captured Sela and renamed it Joktheel, which is what it is called to this very day.
8 Tamin’ izany Amazia dia naniraka olona tany amin’ i Joasy, zanak’ i Joahaza, zanak’ i Jeho, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, nanao hoe: Avia, aoka isika hihaona.
Amaziah sent messengers to the king of Israel, Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, telling him, “Let's fight, face to face!”
9 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 zanako-lahy ny zanakao-vavy ho vadiny; ary dia namaky teo ny bibi-dia tany Libanona ka nanosihosy ny tsilo.
Jehoash, king of Israel, replied to Amaziah, king of Judah: “In Lebanon a thistle sent a message to a cedar, saying, ‘Give your daughter as a wife to my son.’ But a wild animal of Lebanon came by and trampled down the thistle.
10 Efa namely an’ i Edoma tokoa ianao, ka dia nirehareha ny fonao; aoka hahafa-po anao ary izany voninahitra izany, ka mitoera ao an-tranonao ihany; fa nahoana no hihaika ny loza hahalavo ny tenanao mbamin’ ny Joda koa ianao?
You may indeed have defeated Edom. Now you've become arrogant. Stay home and enjoy your victory! Why provoke trouble that will bring you down, and Judah with you?”
11 Fa tsy nanaiky Amazia. Koa dia niakatra Joasy, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely; ary izy sy Amazia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, nihaona tany Beti-semesy izay any Joda.
But Amaziah refused to listen, so Jehoash, king of Israel, came to attack him. He and Amaziah, king of Judah, met face to face at Beth Shemesh in Judah.
12 Dia resy teo anoloan’ ny Isiraely ny Joda, ka samy nandositra ho any amin’ ny lainy avy izy.
The army of Judah was defeated by Israel, and ran away home.
13 Ary Amazia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, zanak’ i Joasy, zanak’ i Ahazia, nosamborin’ i Joasy, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely tany Beti-semesy; ary dia nankany Jerosalema Joasy, ka nandravany efa-jato hakiho ny màndany hatramin’ ny vavahadin’ i Efraima ka hatramin’ ny vavahady an-jorony.
Jehoash, king of Israel, captured Amaziah, king of Judah, the son of Joash, son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh. Then Jehoash attacked Jerusalem and knocked down the city wall from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate, about four hundred cubits in length.
14 Ary nalainy avokoa ny volamena sy ny volafotsy rehetra ary ny fanaka rehetra izay hita tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah sy tamin’ ny rakitry ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka mbamin’ ny olona natao antoka, ka dia niverina ho any Samaria izy.
He removed all the gold and silver, and all the items found in the Lord's Temple and in the treasuries of the royal palace, and also some hostages. Then he went back to Samaria.
15 Ary ny tantaran’ i Joasy sisa mbamin’ ny heriny sy ny niadiany tamin’ i Amazia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely va izany?
The rest of what happened in Jehoash's reign, all he did, and his great achievements and his war with Amaziah, king of Judah, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
16 Ary Joasy lasa nodimandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tany Samaria tao amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izy; ary Jeroboama zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
Jehoash died and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. His son Jeroboam succeeded him as king.
17 Ary ny andro niainan’ i Amazia, zanak’ i Joasy, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, taorian’ ny nahafatesan’ i Joasy, zanak’ i Joahada, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, dia dimy ambin’ ny folo taona.
Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, lived for fifteen more years after the death of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
18 Ary ny tantaran’ i Amazia sisa, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda va izany?
The rest of the events that happened in Amaziah's reign are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
19 Ary ny olona niodina taminy tany Jerosalema, dia nandositra nankany Lakisy izy; fa ny olona nampanaraka namono azy tany.
A conspiracy against Amaziah took place in Jerusalem, and he ran away to Lachish. But men were sent after him and they murdered him there.
20 Ary nasampiny tamin’ ny soavaly ny fatiny, dia nalevina tany Jerosalema tao amin’ ny razany tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida izy.
They brought him back on horses and buried him in Jerusalem with his forefathers in the City of David.
21 Ary ny vahoaka rehetra tamin’ ny Joda naka an’ i Azaria, izay vao enina ambin’ ny folo taona tamin’ izay, ka nampanjaka azy handimby an’ i Amazia rainy.
Then all the people of Judah made Amaziah's son Azariah king to replace his father. Azariah was sixteen years old.
22 Izy no hanamboatra an’ i Elota ka nampody azy ho an’ ny Joda, rehefa lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany ny mpanjaka.
Azariah recaptured Elath for Judah and rebuilt it after his father's death.
23 Tamin’ ny taona fahadimy ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Amazia, zanak’ i Joasy, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, no vao nanjakan’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Joasy, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, tany Samaria, ary nanjaka iraika amby efa-polo taona izy.
Jeroboam, son of Jehoash, became king of Israel in the fifteenth year of the reign of Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for forty-one years.
24 Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, fa tsy niala tamin’ ny fahotana rehetra izay nataon’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata, sady nampanotany ny Isiraely.
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight and did not end all the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit.
25 Izy no nampody ny sisin-tanin’ ny Isiraely ka azony hatrany akaikin’ i Hamata ka hatramin’ ny ranomasin’ ny tani-hay, araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, izay nampilazainy ny mpanompony, dia Jona, zanak’ i Amitahy, mpaminany tany Gata-hefera.
He restored the border of Israel to where it had been, from Lebo-hamath as far as the Sea of the Arabah, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had said through his servant Jonah, son of Amittai, the prophet, who came from Gath-hepher.
26 Fa efa hitan’ i Jehovah fa nangidy indrindra ny fahorian’ ny Isiraely; ary tsy nisy sisa, na ny voahazona na ny afaka, sady tsy nisy namonjy ny Isiraely akory.
The Lord had seen how badly the Israelites were suffering, both slave and free. No one was there to help Israel.
27 Fa tsy mba nolazain’ i Jehovah fa hovonoiny tsy ho eo ambanin’ ny lanitra ny anaran’ ny Isiraely; fa ny tànan’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Joasy, no nentiny namonjy azy.
However, since the Lord had said that he would not wipe out Israel, he saved them through Jeroboam, son of Jehoash.
28 Ary ny tantaran’ i Jeroboama sisa mbamin’ izay nataony sy ny hery izay niadiany ary ny nampodiany an’ i Damaskosy sy Hamata, izay an’ ny Joda fahiny, ho an’ ny Isiraely, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely va izany?
The rest of what happened in Jeroboam's reign, all he did, his great achievements and the battles he fought, and how he recovered for Israel both Damascus and Hamath, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
29 Ary Jeroboama lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia tao amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely; ary Zakaria zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
Jeroboam died and was buried with the kings of Israel. His son Zechariah succeeded him as king.
