2 Whakapapa 25

1 E rua tekau ma rima nga tau o Amatia i tona kingitanga, a e rua tekau ma iwa nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama: a ko te ingoa hoki o tona whaea, ko Iehoarana, no Hiruharama.

Amasias began to reign when he was twenty and five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name [was] Joadaen of Jerusalem.

2 Na he tika tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, engari kihai i tapatahi te ngakau

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

3 A, ka pumau tona kingitanga, katahi ka whakamatea e ia ana tangata, nana nei i patu tona papa, te kingi.

And it came to pass, when the kingdom was established in his hand, that he killed his servants who had slain the king his father.

4 Ko a raua tama ia kihai i whakamatea; engari i rite tana ki te mea i tuhituhia i te ture i te pukapuka a Mohi, ki ta Ihowa i whakahau ra, Kaua nga matua e mate mo to nga tamariki; kaua hoki nga tamariki e mate mo to nga matua; engari me mate tene i mo tona hara, tenei mo tona hara.

But he killed not their sons, according to the covenant of the law of the Lord, as it is written, [and] as the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, and the sons shall not die for the fathers, but they shall die each for his own sin.

5 Na i huihuia hoki e Amatia a Hura, a whakaritea ana he rangatira mano, he rangatira rau mo nga whare o o ratou matua, puta noa i a Hura katoa raua ko Pineamine. A taua ana ratou e ia, te hunga e rua tekau, he maha ake hoki, nga tau, a ka kitea e toru rau mano, whiriwhiri rawa, he hunga haere ki te whawhai, he hunga hapai i te tao, i te whakangungu rakau.

And Amasias assembled the house of Juda, and appointed them according to the houses of their families for captains of thousands and captains of hundreds in all Juda and Jerusalem: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upwards, and found them three hundred thousand able to go out to war, holding spear and shield.

6 I utua ano hoki e ia etahi o Iharaira, kotahi rau mano, he marohirohi, he maia, kotahi rau taranata hiriwa.

Also he hired of Israel a hundred thousand mighty [men for] a hundred talents of silver.

7 Na, ko te taenga mai o tetahi tangata a te Atua ki a ia, ka mea E te kingi, kaua te taua a Iharaira e haere tahi koutou, no te mea kahore a Ihowa i a Iharaira, ara i nga tama katoa a Eparaima.

And there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the host of Israel go with you; for the Lord is not with Israel, [even] all the sons of Ephraim.

8 Otiia ki te haere koe, kia toa, kia kaha ki te whawhai; ma Ihowa ano koe e turaki i te aroaro o te hoariri; he kaha hoki to te Atua ki te awhina, ki te turaki.

For if you shall undertake to strengthen [yourself] with these, then the lord shall put you to flight before the enemies: for it is of the Lord both to strengthen and to put to flight.

9 Na ka mea atu a Amatia ki te tangata a te Atua, Ha, me pehea nga taranata kotahi rau i hoatu e ahau ki te taua a Iharaira? Ano ra ko te tangata a te Atua, E ahei ana i te Atua te homai ki a koe kia rahi noa ake i tenei.

And Amasias said to the man of God, But what shall I do [for] the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God said, The Lord can give you much more than these.

10 Katahi ratou ka wehea atu e Amatia, ara te taua i haere mai ki a ia i Eparaima, kia hoki ki to ratou na wahi. Na mura rawa to ratou riri ki a Hura, a hoki ana ki to ratou wahi, mura tonu te riri.

And Amasias separated from the army that came to him from Ephraim, that they might go away to their place; and they were very angry with Juda, and they returned to their place with great wrath.

11 Na ka whakapakari a Amatia i a ia, a arahina ana e ia tona iwi, haere ana ki Raorao Tote, patua iho e ia nga tama a Heira, kotahi tekau mano.

And Amasias strengthened [himself], and took his people, and went to the valley of salt, and struck there the children of Seir ten thousand.

12 Na, ko era atu mano, kotahi tekau, i ora nei, whakaraua ana e nga tama a Hura, kawea ana ki te tihi o te kamaka, maka atu ana i te tihi o te kamaka, a mongamonga noa ratou katoa.

And the children of Juda took ten thousand prisoners, and they carried them to the top of the precipice, and cast them headlong from the top of the precipice, and they were all dashed to pieces.

13 Otiia, ko nga tangata o te taua i whakahokia nei e Amatia, kei haere tahi ratou ki te whawhai, whakaekea ana e ratou nga pa o Hura, o Hamaria mai ano a tae noa ki Petehorono, patua iho etahi o ratou, e toru mano, nui atu hoki te taonga i pahuati a e ratou.

And the men of the host whom Amasias sent back so that they should not go with him to battle, [went] and attacked the cities of Juda, from Samaria to Baethoron; and they struck three thousand among them, and took much spoil.

14 A, muri i te taenga mai o Amatia i te patunga i nga Eromi, ka mauria mai e ia nga atua o nga tama a Heira, na ka whakaturia e ia hei atua mona, koropiko ana ia ki mua i a ratou, tahuna ana e ia he whakakakara ki a ratou.

And it came to pass, after Amasias had returned from striking Idumea, that he brought home the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up for himself as gods, and bowed down before them, and he sacrificed to them.

15 Na reira ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a Amatia, a unga ana mai e ia he poropiti ki a ia, hei korero ki a ia, He aha koe i rapu ai i ta nga atua o te iwi na? kihai na hoki to ratou iwi i whakaorangia e ratou i tou ringa.

And the anger of the Lord came upon Amasias, and he sent him a prophet, and he said to him, Why have you sought the gods of the people, which have not rescued their own people out of your hand?

16 Na, i a ia e korero ana ki a ia, ka mea te kingi ki a ia, Kua waiho ranei koe hei kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro mo te kingi? Kati tau; mo te aha koe kia patua? Na mutu ake ta te poropiti; otiia i ki ano ia, E mohio ana ano ahau kua takoto to te Atua w hakaaro mou, kia ngaro, mo tau meatanga i tenei, mou hoki kihai i rongo ki toku whakaaro.

And it came to pass when the prophet was speaking to him, that he said to him, have I made you king's counsellor? take heed lest you be scourged: and the prophet forebore, and said, I know that [God] is disposed against you to destroy you, because you have done this thing, and have not listened to my counsel.

17 Katahi a Amatia kingi o Hura ka whakatakoto whakaaro, a unga tangata ana ki a Ioaha tama a Iehoahata tama a Iehu kingi o Iharaira, hei ki atu, Tena, taua ka titiro tetahi ki te kanohi o tetahi.

And Amasias king of Juda took counsel, and sent to Joas, son of Joachaz, son of Jeu, king of Israel, saying, Come, and let us look one another in the face.

18 Na ka unga tangata a Ioaha kingi o Iharaira ki a Amatia kingi o Hura, hei ki atu, i tono karere te tataramoa i Repanona ki te hita i Repanona, hei ki atu, Homai tau tamahine hei wahine ma taku tama. Na ko te haerenga atu o tetahi kirehe i Repano na, takahia iho e ia taua tataramoa.

And Joas king of Israel sent to Amasias king of Juda, saying, The thistle that was in Libanus sent to the cedar that was in Libanus, saying, Give your daughter to my son to wife; but, behold, your wild beasts of the field that are in Libanus shall come: and the wild beasts did come, and trod down the thistle.

19 E ki ana koe, Na, kua patua e koe Eroma; a kua whakanekehia ake koe e tou ngakau kia whakapehapeha. E noho ra ki tou whare: he aha koe ka whakapataritari ai, e kino ai koe, e hinga ai koe, a koe na, koutou tahi ko Hura?

You have said, Behold, I have struck Idumea, and your stout heart exalts you: now stay at home; for why do you implicate yourself in mischief, that you should fall, and Juda with you.

20 Otiia kihai a Amatia i rongo; na te Atua hoki tena, kia hoatu ai ratou e ia ki te ringa o o ratou hoariri, mo ratou i rapu tikanga i nga atua o Eroma.

Nevertheless Amasias listened not, for it was of the Lord to deliver him into [the enemy's] hands, because he sought after the gods of the Idumeans.

21 Heoi haere ana a Ioaha kingi o Iharaira, a ka titiro raua ko Amatia kingi o Hura, tetahi ki te kanohi o tetahi, ki Petehemehe o Hura.

So Joas king of Israel went up; and they saw one another, he and Amasias king of Juda, in Baethsamys, which is of Juda.

22 Na kua patua a Hura i te aroaro o Iharaira, a rere ana ratou, tena ki tona teneti, tena ki tona teneti.

And Juda was put to flight before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.

23 I mau ano a Amatia kingi o Hura tama a Ioaha tama a Iehoahata i a Ioaha kingi o Iharaira ki Petehemehe, a kawea ana ia ki Hiruharama, wawahia ana e ia te taiepa o Hiruharama, i te kuwaha mai ano o Eparaima taea noatia te kuwaha o te koki, e wha rau whatianga.

And Joas king of Israel took prisoner Amasias king of Juda, [son] of Joas, son of Joachaz, in Baethsamys, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he pulled down [part] of the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

24 Na, ko te koura katoa, ko te hiriwa, me nga oko katoa i kitea ki te whare o te Atua, ki a Opereeroma, me nga taonga o te whare o te kingi, me etahi tangata hei taumau, tangohia ake e ia, a hoki ana ki Hamaria.

And [he took] all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the Lord and with Abdedom, and the treasures of the king's house, and the hostages, and he returned to Samaria.

25 A tekau ma rima nga tau i ora ai a Amatia tama a Ioaha kingi o Hura i muri i te matenga o Ioaha tama a Iehoahata kingi o Iharaira.

And Amasias the [son] of Joas king of Juda lived after the death of Joas the [son] of Joachaz king of Israel fifteen years.

26 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Amatia, o mua, me o muri, nana, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga kingi o Hura, o Iharaira?

And the rest of the acts of Amasias, the first and the last, Behold! are they not written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel?

27 Na no muri i te wa i mahue ai i a Amatia te whai i a Ihowa, ka whakatupuria he he mona ki Hiruharama, a rere ana ia ki Rakihi. Otiia ka unga tangata ratou ki te whai i a ia ki Rakihi, a whakamatea iho ia ki reira.

And at the time when Amasias departed from the Lord, then they formed a conspiracy against him; and he fled from Jerusalem to Lachis: and they sent after him to Lachis, and killed him there.

28 A mauria ana mai i runga hoiho, tanumia ana ki te taha o ona matua, ki te pa o Hura.

And they took him up on horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of David.
