2 Tantara 25

1 Roapolo taoñe lim’ amby t’i Amatsià te niorotse nifehe, le nifehe roapolo taoñe sive amby e Ierosalaime ao. Iehoadane nte-Ierosalaime ty tahinan-drene’e.

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 Nanao soa am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà eo re, fe tsy an-kaampon’ arofo.

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

3 Aa, ie vata’e nifejañe i fifehea’ey, le vinono’e i mpitoroñe nañoho-doza aman-drae’e rey,

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 fe tsy vinono’e o ana’eo ie nanao ze sinokitse amy Hake, amy boke’ i Mosey, amy lili’ Iehovà ty hoe: Tsy havetrake ty amo ana’eo o roae’eo vaho tsy havetrake ty aman-droae’e o ana’eo, fa songa hivetrake ty amo hakeo’eo.

But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law in 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 Mbore natonto’ i Ama­tsià t’Iehoda naho nanoe’e mpifelek’ arivo naho mpifele-jato ty aman’ anjomban-droae’e, le nitsitsife’e t’Iehodà naho i Beniamine namolily o roapolo taoñe mañamboneo, nitendreke te telo hetse t’indaty nilefe, nahafionjoñe mb’añ’aly naho nahatan-defoñe vaho fikalañe.

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 Nikarama’e ka ty fanalolahy mahasibeke rai-hetse boake Israele ao ami’ty talenta volafoty zato.

He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver.

7 Fe niheo ama’e mb’eo ty ondatin’ Añahare nanao ty hoe: Ry mpanjaka, ko ampindrezeñe ama’o i firimboña’ Israeley, ie tsy am’ Israele t’Iehovà vaho tsy mpiaman-dra iaia amo ana’ i Efraimeo.

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, to wit, with all the children of Ephraim.

8 Aa naho mb’eo irehe, le ano! mihafatrara an-kotakotake tsy mone hampitsingoritrien’ Añahare aolo’ o rafelahi’oo; fa aman’ Añahare ty haozarañe, ke hañolotse he handrotsake.

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 Le hoe t’i Amatsià am’indatin’ Añaharey. Aa vaho atao’ay akore i talenta zato natoloko amy firimboña’ Israeley? Le hoe ty natoi’ indatin’ Añaharey, Mahafanolotse maro mandikoatse izay t’Iehovà.

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 Aa le nampolie’ i Amatsià o lahindefoñe nimb’ ama’e boak’ Efraimeo; fe nisolebotse am’ Iehodà ty haboseha’ iareo vaho nimpoly am-piforoforoañe.

Then Amaziah separated them, to wit, the army that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in great anger.

11 Aa le nihafatrarem-batañe t’i Ama­tsià, le niaoloa’e ondati’eo naho nimb’am-bava­tanen-tsira mb’eo vaho zinama’e ty rai-ale amo ana’ i Seireo.

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 Tsinepa’ o ana’ Iehodao ka ty rai-ale veloñe, le nasese’ iereo mb’ ambone teva, le nahereretsa’ iareo boak’ ambone’ i herakerakey vaho nifoifoy.

And other ten thousand left alive did the children of Judah carry away captive, and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all were broken in pieces.

13 Nivolose’ i firimboñan-dahindefoñe nampolie’ i Amatsià tsy hionjoñe mb’an-kotakotakey o rova’ Iehodà boake Somerone pake Betekoroneo naho nanjamañe ty telo arivo am’ iereo vaho nampikopake vara maro.

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

14 Ie nimpoly amy nanjamana’e o nte-Edomeoy t’i Amatsià, le nendese’e o ndrahare’ o ana’ i Seireo le natroa’e ho ‘ndrahare’e vaho nibokobokoa’e naho nañoroa’e emboke.

Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was 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 down himself before them, and burned incense unto them.

15 Aa le nisolebotse amy Amatsià ty haviñera’ Iehovà, le nañiraha’e mpitoky nanao ty hoe, Ino ty nipaia’o o ndrahare’ ondaty tsy naharombake ondati’eo am-pità’oo?

Wherefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand?

16 Ie nisaontsia’e i entañe zay le hoe re tama’e: Tinendre ho mpanolo-kevem-panjaka v’iheo? Mifoneña; akore te ihe ho lafaeñe? le nijihetse i mpitokiy vaho nanao ty hoe: Apotako te sinafirin’ Añahare ty handrotsake azo, amy te nanoe’o o raha zao vaho tsy hinao’o i natorokoy.

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

17 Nandrambe hevetse amy zao t’i Amatsià, mpanjaka’ Iehoda vaho nam­pañitrike mb’am’ Ioase, ana’ Iehoahaze, ana’ Ieho, mpanjaka’ Israele ty hoe: Mb’ etoan-drehe hifañatrefan-tika laharañe.

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 see one another in the face.

18 Le nampisangitrife’ Ioase mpanjaka’ Israele amy Amatsià mpanjaka’ Iehoda ty hoe: Nahitri’ ty hisatse e Libanone añe amy mendoraveñe e Libanoney ty hoe: Atoloro amy ana-dahikoy i anak’ am­pela’oy ho vali’e. Fe niary eo o bibi-li’ i Libanoneo nandialia i hisa­tsey.

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 to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.

19 Manao ty hoe irehe, te, Ingo, fa linafako t’i Edome; aa le mitoabotse añ’ arofo ao irehe, mibohaboha; fe imoneño ty akiba’o; ino ty hikaiha’o ty joy, hikorovoke, ihe naho Iehoda mindre ama’oy?

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

20 Fe tsy hinao’ i Amatsià, fa boak’ aman’ Añahare i rahay, hanolora’e am-pitàn-drafelahi’ iareo, ie nipay o ‘ndrahare’ Edomeo.

But Amaziah would not hear; for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom.

21 Aa le nionjo mb’eo t’Ioase mpanjaka’ Israele; le nifañisa-daharañe, ie naho i Ama­tsià mpanjaka’ Iehoda, e Bete­semese’ Iehoda eo.

So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they saw one another in the face, both he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah.

22 Le nikorovok’ añatrefa’ Israele eo t’Iehoda vaho nitriban-day, songa mb’ an-kiboho’e mb’eo;

And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.

23 naho rinambe’ Ioase, mpanjaka’ Israele t’i Amatsià mpanjaka’ Iehoda, ana’ Ioase, ana’ Iehoakase, e Betesemese ao naho nendese’e mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo vaho narotsa’e ty kijoli’ Ierosalaime boak’ an-dalam-bei’ i Efraime ey, pak’an-dalam-bein-kotsok’eo, kiho efa-jato.

And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

24 Le tinava’e iaby o volamena naho volafoty naho o fanake nizoeñe añ’ anjomban’ Añahare amy Ovede-edome naho am-panontonam-bara’ i anjombam-panjakaio naho ninday ondaty an-drohy vaho nimpoly mb’e Somerone mb’eo.

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

25 Mbe niveloñe folo-taoñe lim’ amby tamy fivetraha’ Ioase ana’ Iehoakaze, mpanjaka’ Israeley t’i Amatsià, ana’ Ioase, mpanjaka’ Iehoda.

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

26 Aa naho o fitoloña’ i Amatsià boak’ am-baloha’e pak’ am-para’eo, tsy fa sinokitse amy bokem-panjaka’ Iehoda naho Israeley hao?

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 Le nikinia aze o e Ierosalaimeo ty amy nitoliha’ i Amatsià tsy hañorike Iehovày, ie nipitsike mb’e Lakise mb’eo, fe nañirahañe e Lakise añe vaho vinono ao.

Now after the time that Amaziah did turn 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 Nendeseñe an-tsoavala vaho naleveñe aman-droae’e an-drova’ Iehoda ao.

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