2 Mpanjaka 15
1 Tamin’ ny taona fahafito amby roa-polo nanjakan’ i Jeroboama, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, no vao nanjakan’ i Azaria, zanak’ i Amazia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
After Jeroboam had been ruling Israel for almost twenty-seven years, Uzziah, the son of King Amaziah of Judah, began to rule.
2 Enina ambin’ ny folo taona izy, fony vao nanjaka, ary roa amby dimam-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Jekolia, avy any Jerosalema.
He was 16 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 52 years. His mother was Jecoliah, from Jerusalem.
3 Ary nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy tahaka izay rehetra nataon’ i Amazia rainy;
He did things that Yahweh was pleased with, like his father Amaziah 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 places at the pagan shrines where they worshiped Yahweh were not destroyed, and the people continued to burn incense [to honor Yahweh] at those places [instead of in Jerusalem, the place that Yahweh had appointed].
5 Ary Jehovah namely ny mpanjaka, ka dia boka mandra-pahafatiny izy ka nitoetra tao an-trano nitokana. Ary Jotama, zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka, no nanapaka tao an-dapa sy nitsara ny vahoaka.
Yahweh caused Uzziah to become a leper, and he was a leper for the rest of his life. [He was not allowed to live in the palace]. He lived alone in a house, and his son Jotham ruled the country.
6 Ary ny tantaran’ i Azaria sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda va izany?
[If you want to know about] everything else that Uzziah did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
7 Ary Azaria dia lasa nodimandry any amin’ ny razany, ka nalevina tao amin’ ny razany tao an-tanànan’ i Davida izy; ary Jotama zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
Uzziah died [EUP], and they buried him in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried. Then his son Jotham officially became the king.
8 Tamin’ ny taona fahavalo amby telo-polo nanjakan’ i Azaria, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, no nanjakan’ i Zakaria, zanak’ i Jeroboama, tamin’ ny Isiraely, ary nanjaka enim-bolana tao Samaria izy.
After Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-eight years, Zechariah, the son of Jeroboam, became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for [only] six months.
9 Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah tahaka ny nataon’ ny razany izy, fa tsy niala tamin’ ny fahotan’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata, Izay nampanotany ny Isiraely.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like his ancestors had done. He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the Israeli people to sin.
10 Ary Saloma, zanak’ i Jabesy, nikomy taminy, dia namely azy teo anatrehan’ ny olona ka nahafaty azy ary nanjaka nandimby azy.
Then Shallum, the son of Jabesh, made plans to assassinate Zechariah. He killed him at Ibleam [town], and then he became the king.
11 Ary ny tantaran’ i Zakaria sisa, indro fa efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izany.
Everything else that Zechariah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
12 Izany no ilay tenin’ i Jehovah nolazainy tamin’ i Jeho hoe: Ny taranakao hatramin’ ny zafindohalika dia hipetraka amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ ny Isiraely. Ka dia tanteraka izany.
When Zechariah died, [that ended the dynasty of King Jehu]. That fulfilled what Yahweh said to King Jehu would happen: “Your son and grandson and great-grandson and great-great-grandson will all be kings of Israel.”
13 Ary Saloma, zanak’ i Jabesy, dia vao nanjaka tamin’ ny taona fahasivy amby telo-polo nanjakan’ i Ozia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda; ary nanjaka andro iray volana tany Samaria izy.
Shallum, the son of Jabesh, became the king of Israel after King Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-nine years. But Shallum ruled in Samaria for [only] one month.
14 Fa Menahema, zanak’ i Gady, niakatra avy tany Tirza ka nankany Samaria, dia namely an’ i Saloma, zanak’ i Jabesy, tany Samaria ka nahafaty azy ary nanjaka nandimby azy.
Then Menahem, the son of Gadi, went up from Tirzah [city] to Samaria and assassinated Shallum. Then Menahem became the king of Israel.
15 Ary ny tantaran’ i Saloma sisa mbamin’ ny nikomiany, indro fa efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izany.
Everything else that Shallum did, including his killing King Zechariah, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
16 Tamin’ izany Menahema dia niala tany Tirza ka namely an’ i Tifsa mbamin’ izay rehetra tao hatramin’ ny sisin-taniny; fa tsy namoha vavahady azy Tifsa, ka dia nasiany, ary izay bevohoka rehetra tao notatahany.
While Menahem was ruling in Samaria, he completely destroyed Tappuah [village south of Samaria] and killed all the people who lived there and in the surrounding territory. He did that because the people in that city refused to surrender to him. [With his sword] he even ripped open the bellies of pregnant women.
17 Tamin’ ny taona fahasivy amby telo-polo nanjakan’ i Azaria, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, no vao nanjakan’ i Menahema, zanak’ i Gady, tamin’ ny Isiraely, ary nanjaka folo taona tao Samaria izy.
When King Azariah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-nine years, Menahem, the son of Gadi, became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria for ten years.
18 Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, fa tamin’ ny androny rehetra dia tsy niala tamin’ ny fahotan’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata, izay nampanotany ny Isiraely.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He committed the same kinds of sins that King Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the people of Israel to sin. He continued to commit those sins for the rest of his life.
19 Ary Pola, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, dia avy hananika ny tany; ary Menahema nanome an’ i Pola talenta volafotsy arivo mba hampitoetra ny fanjakana eo an-tànan’ i Menahema.
Then King Tiglath-Pileser of Assyria came [with his army] to attack Israel. So Menahem gave him (thirty-eight tons/35,000 kg.) of silver in order that Tiglath-Pileser would help Menahem to continue to be king and rule his country more strongly.
20 Ary nampandoavin’ i Menahema io vola io ny mpanankarena rehetra tamin’ ny Isiraely, dia sekely volafotsy dimam-polo avy isan-olona, homeny ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria. Ka dia niverina ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria, fa tsy nitoetra tao amin’ ny tany.
Menahem obtained that money from the rich men in Israel. He compelled each of them to contribute 50 pieces of silver. So Tiglath-Pileser [took that money and] went back home.
21 Ary ny tantaran’ i Menahema sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely va izany?
[If you want to know more about] everything that Menahem did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
22 Ary Menahema lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, ary Pekahia zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
Menahem died [EUP] and was buried, and his son Pekahiah became the king of Israel.
23 Tamin’ ny taona fahadimam-polo nanjakan’ i Azaria, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, no vao nanjakan’ i Pekahia, zanak’ i Menahema, tamin’ ny Isiraely tao Samaria, ary nanjaka roa taona izy.
When King Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost 50 years, Menahem’s son Pekahiah became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria for [only] two years.
24 Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, fa tsy niala tamin’ ny fahotan’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata, izay nampanotany ny Isiraely.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He committed the same kind of sins that King Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the people of Israel to sin.
25 Ary Peka, zanak’ i Remalia, lefiny, dia nikomy taminy ka namely an’ i Pekahia mbamin’ i Argoba sy Aria teo Samaria, tao amin’ ny trano-avo amin’ ny lapa, ary teo amin’ Peka nisy olona dimam-polo lahy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Gileada; koa namono azy izy, dia nanjaka nandimby azy.
Then one of Pekahiah’s army commanders whose name was Pekah, the son of Remaliah, planned with 50 men from [the] Gilead [region] to kill Pekahiah. They assassinated him in a fortified place in the king’s palace in Samaria. Then Pekah became the king.
26 Ary ny tantaran’ i Pekahia sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony, indro fa efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izany.
Everything else that Pekahiah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
27 Tamin’ ny taona faharoa amby dimam-polo nanjakan’ i Azaria, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, no vao nanjakan’ i Peka, zanak’ i Remalia, tamin’ ny Isiraely tao Samaria, ary nanjaka roa-polo taona izy.
When King Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost 52 years, Pekah, the son of Remaliah, became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria for 20 years.
28 Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, fa tsy niala tamin’ ny fahotan’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata, izay nampanotany ny Isiraely.
He also did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He committed the same kind of sins that King Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the people of Israel to sin.
29 Tamin’ ny andron’ i Peka, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, dia tonga Tiglato-pilesera, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, ka nahafaka an’ Iona sy Abela-beti-maka sy Janoa sy Kadesy sy Hazora sy Gileada ary Galilia, dia ny tanin’ ny Naftaly rehetra, ary nitondra ny olona ho babo tany Asyria izy.
While Pekah was the king, Tiglath-Pileser, the king of Assyria, came [with his army] and captured [the cities of] Ijon, Abel-Beth-Maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, and the regions of Gilead, Galilee, and Naphtali. His army forced the Israeli people to leave their country and go to live in Assyria.
30 Ary Hosea, zanak’ i Elaha, nikomy tamin’ i Peta, Zanak’ i Remalia, dia namely azy ho faty ka nanjaka nandimby azy tamin’ ny taona faharoa-polo nanjakan’ i Jotama, zanak’ i Ozia.
Then Hoshea, the son of Elah, plotted to kill Pekah. He assassinated him when Uzziah’s son Jotham had been ruling Judah for almost 20 years. Then Hoshea became the king of Israel.
31 Ary ny tantaran’ i Peka sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony, indro fa efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izany.
Everything else that Pekah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
32 Tamin’ ny taona faharoa nanjakan’ i Peka, zanak’ i Remalia, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, no vao nanjakan’ i Jotama, zanak’ i Ozia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
When Pekah had been ruling Israel for almost two years, Uzziah’s son Jotham began to rule Judah.
33 Dimy amby roa-polo taona izy, fony vao nanjaka, ary enina ambin’ ny folo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Jerosa, zanakavavin’ i Zadoka.
He was 25 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. His mother was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.
34 Ary nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy; tahaka izay rehetra nataon’ i Ozia rainy no nataony.
He did many things that pleased Yahweh, like his father Uzziah had done.
35 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. Izy no nanao ny vavahady ambony amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
But he did not destroy the places on the tops of hills where the people worshiped [Yahweh], and the people continued to burn incense there [to honor Yahweh]. Jotham’s workers built the Upper Gate of the temple.
36 Ary ny tantaran’ i Jotama sisa mbamin’ Izay rehetra nataony, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda va izany?
[If you want to know more about] everything else that Jotham did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
37 Tamin’ izany andro Izany no vao nampandehanan’ i Jehovah an’ i Rezina, mpanjakan’ i Syria, sy Peka, zanak’ i Remalia, hanafika an’ i Joda.
It was during the time that Jotham was the king that Yahweh sent King Rezin of Syria and King Pekah of Israel [with their armies] to attack Judah.
38 Ary Jotama lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao amin’ ny razany tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida rainy izy; ary Ahaza zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
Jotham died [EUP] and was buried where his ancestors had been buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Ahaz became the king of Judah.
