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-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.
2 Nanao soa am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà eo re, fe tsy an-kaampon’ arofo.
He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, but not with a whole heart.
3 Aa, ie vata’e nifejañe i fifehea’ey, le vinono’e i mpitoroñe nañoho-doza aman-drae’e rey,
It came about that as soon as his rule was well established, he killed the servants who had murdered his father, the king.
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 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 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 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 Nikarama’e ka ty fanalolahy mahasibeke rai-hetse boake Israele ao ami’ty talenta volafoty zato.
He hired also 100,000 fighting men from Israel for one 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 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 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 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 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.
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 Aa le nampolie’ i Amatsià o lahindefoñe nimb’ ama’e boak’ Efraimeo; fe nisolebotse am’ Iehodà ty haboseha’ iareo vaho nimpoly am-piforoforoañe.
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 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.
Amaziah took courage and led his people to go out to the Valley of Salt; there he defeated ten thousand men of Seir.
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.
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 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 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 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 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 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?
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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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?
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 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 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 Aa le nionjo mb’eo t’Ioase mpanjaka’ Israele; le nifañisa-daharañe, ie naho i Amatsià mpanjaka’ Iehoda, e Betesemese’ Iehoda eo.
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 Le nikorovok’ añatrefa’ Israele eo t’Iehoda vaho nitriban-day, songa mb’ an-kiboho’e mb’eo;
Judah was struck down before Israel, and every man fled home.
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.
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 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.
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 Mbe niveloñe folo-taoñe lim’ amby tamy fivetraha’ Ioase ana’ Iehoakaze, mpanjaka’ Israeley t’i Amatsià, ana’ Ioase, mpanjaka’ Iehoda.
Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, lived fifteen years after the death of Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
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?
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 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 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 Nendeseñe an-tsoavala vaho naleveñe aman-droae’e an-drova’ Iehoda ao.
They brought him back on horses and buried him with his ancestors in the city of Judah.
