2 Mpanjaka 15
1 Amy taom-paha roapolo-fito’ ambi’ Iarovame mpanjaka’ Israeley, ty niorota’ i Azarià ana’ i Amatsià mpanjaka’ Iehodà nifehe.
After Jeroboam had been ruling Israel for almost twenty-seven years, Uzziah, the son of King Amaziah of Judah, began to rule.
2 Ni-folo-taoñ’eneñ’ amby re te niorotse nifeleke, le nifehe limampolo taoñe ro’ amby e Ierosalaime ao; Iekoliae nte-Ierosalaime, ty tahinan-drene’e.
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 Nitolon-kavantañañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà re, hambañe amo hene fitoloñan-drae’e Amatsiào.
He did things that Yahweh was pleased with, like his father Amaziah had done.
4 Fe mboe tsy nafahañe o toets’ aboo; nitolom-panao soroñe naho nañoro tsotse amo toets-aboo avao ondatio.
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 Linama’ Iehovà haangamae i mpanjakay ampara’ ty andro nihomaha’e vaho nimoneñe añ’ akiba navìke ao. Iotame, ana’ i mpanjakay, ty nifehe’ i anjombay, naho nizaka ondati’ i taneio.
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 Ty ila’ o fitoloña’ i Azariào, o nanoe’e iabio; tsy fa sinokitse amy bokem-pamoliliañe o mpanjaka’ Iehodaoy hao?
[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 Nitrao-pirotse aman-droae’e t’i Azarià, le nalenteke aman-droae’e an-drova’ i Davide ao; le nandimbe aze nifehe t’Iotame ana’e.
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 Amy taom-paha-telopolo-valo’ ambi’ i Azarià mpanjaka’ Iehoday, te nifeleke Israele t’i Zekarià ana’ Iarovame enem-bolañe e Somerone ao.
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 Nanao raty am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà re, manahak’ an-droae’e, tsy nisitaha’e o hakeo nampanaña’ Iarovame ana’ i Nebate tàhiñe Israeleo.
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 Nikinia aze t’i Salome, ana’ Iabese le zinevo’e añatrefa’ ondatio, vaho vinono’e, le nandimbe aze nifeleke.
Then Shallum, the son of Jabesh, made plans to assassinate Zechariah. He killed him at Ibleam [town], and then he became the king.
11 Aa ty ila’ o fitoloña’ i Zekariào, oniño t’ie sinokitse amy bokem-pamoliliañe o mpanjaka’ Israeleoy.
Everything else that Zechariah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
12 Le niheneke ty nitsarae’ Iehovà am’ Ieho ami’ty hoe; O ana’o pak’ an-tariratse fah’ efatseo ty hiambesatse amy fiambesa’ Israeley, le izay ty ie.
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 Niorotse nifehe amy taom-paha-telo-polo-sive’ ambi’ i Ozià mpanjaka’ Iehodaiy t’i Salome ana’ Iabese le nifeleke volan-draike do’e e Somerone ao.
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 Nionjoñe boak’e Tirtsà t’i Menakeme ana’ i Gadý, le nivotrake e Somerone eo, naho zinevo’e t’i Salome, ana’ Iabese, e Somerone ao naho vinono’e vaho nandimbe aze nifeleke.
Then Menahem, the son of Gadi, went up from Tirzah [city] to Samaria and assassinated Shallum. Then Menahem became the king of Israel.
15 Aa naho o fitoloña’ i Salome ila’eo, i kilily nanoe’ey, oniño t’ie sinokitse amy bokem-pamoliliañe o mpanjaka’ Israeleoy.
Everything else that Shallum did, including his killing King Zechariah, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
16 Zinevo’ i Menakeme amy zao ty Tifsà, ze tama’e ao iaby naho o mañohok’ azeo pake Tirtsà; amy t’ie tsy nisokafe’ iereo; aa le linafa’e vaho niriate’e iaby ze rakemba nivesatse ao.
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 Amy taom-paha-telopolo-sive’ ambi’ i Azarià mpanjaka’ Iehodày ty niorota’ i Menakeme ana’ i Gadý nifeleke Israele, le nifehe folo taoñe e Somerone ao.
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 Nanao raty am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà re, le tsy napo’e amo hene andro’eo o hakeo nampanaña’ Iarovame ana’ i Nebate tahiñe Israeleo.
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 Naname i taney t’i Pole mpanjaka’ i Asore, le natolo’ i Menakeme amy Pole ty talenta volafoty arivo soa te ho ama’e ty fità’e hamentea’e i fifeheañey.
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 Sinaze’ i Menakeme drala t’Israele, boak’ amo fanalolahy mpañalealeo, songa hakare’ ondatio ty sekele limampolo hatolotse amy mpanjaka’ i Asorey, vaho nibalik’ añe i mpanjaka’ i Asorey le tsy nitambatse amy taney.
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 Aa naho o fitoloña’ i Menakeme ila’eo, ze hene nanoe’e, tsy fa sinokitse amy bokem-pamoliliañe o mpanjaka’ Israeleoy hao?
[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 Nitrao-piròtse aman-droae’e ao t’i Menakeme, le nandimbe aze nifehe t’i Pekaià, ana’e.
Menahem died [EUP] and was buried, and his son Pekahiah became the king of Israel.
23 Amy taom-paha-limampolo’ i Azarià mpanjaka’ Iehoday, te niorotse nifehe Israele e Somerone ao t’i Pekaià ana’ i Menaheme; le nifeleke roe taoñe.
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 Nanao ze raty am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà re; tsy nisitaha’e o tahi’ Iarovame ana’ i Nebate nampanaña’e hakeo Israeleo.
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 Nikinia aze amy zao t’i Pekà ana’ i Remalià, sorotà’e, le nanjevoñ’ aze e Somerone, amy fitalakesañ’ abo’ i anjomba’ i mpanjakaiy ao, rekets’ i Argobe naho i Ariè vaho ondaty limampolo nte-Gilade nindre ama’eo; vinono’e, vaho nandimbe aze nifehe.
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 Aa naho o fitoloña’ i Pekaià ila’eo, o hene nanoe’eo, tsy fa sinokitse amy bokem-pamoliliañe o mpanjaka’ Israeleoy hao?
Everything else that Pekahiah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
27 Amy taom-paha-limampolo-ro’ ambi’ i Azarià, mpanjaka’ Iehodày, le niorotse nifehe e Israele e Somerone ao t’i Pekà ana’ i Remalià vaho nifeleke roapolo taoñe.
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 Nanao haratiañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà, tsy nisitaha’e o tahi’ Iarovame ana’ i Nebate, nampanaña’e hakeo Israeleo.
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 Tañ’ andro’ i Pekà mpanjaka’ Israele, ty nanamea’ i Tiglate-pilèsere mpanjaka’ i Asore, le tinava’e t’Iione, i Abel-bete-maakà, Ianoà, i Kedese, i Kazore, i Gilade naho ze hene tane Naftalý vaho nendese’e an-drohy mb’e Asore añe.
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 Kinilili’ i Hoseà, ana’ i Elà t’i Pekà, ana’ i Remalià, le linafa’e naho vinono’e vaho nandimbe aze nifehe amy taom-paha-roapolo’ Iotame ana’ i Oziày.
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 Aa naho o fitoloña’ i Pekà ila’eo, o nanoe’eo, oniño t’ie misokitse amy bokem-pamoliliañe o mpanjaka’ Israeleoy.

32 Amy tom-paharoe’ i Pekà, ana’ i Remalià, mpanjaka’ Israeley, te niorotse nifehe e Iehodà t’Iotame ana’ i Ozià.
When Pekah had been ruling Israel for almost two years, Uzziah’s son Jotham began to rule Judah.
33 Roapolo taoñe lime amby re te niorotse nifeleke, le nifehe folo taoñe eneñ’ amby e Ierosalaime ao, Ierosoae ana’ i Tsadoke, ty tahinan-drene’e.
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 Nanao ty havantañañe am-pihaino’ Iehovà re, hene norihe’e ty satan-drae’e Ozià.
He did many things that pleased Yahweh, like his father Uzziah had done.
35 Fe tsy nafahañe añe o toets’ aboo; mbe nanao soroñe naho nañenga ey ondatio. Namboare’e ty lalambei’ ambone’ i anjomba’ Iehovày.
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.
