2 Kingi 14
1 No te rua o nga tau o Ioaha tama a Iehoahata kingi o Iharaira i kingi ai a Amatia tama a Ioaha kingi o Hura.
Amaziah, son of Joash, became king of Judah in the second year of the reign of Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
2 E rua tekau ma rima ona tau i a ia ka kingi nei, a e rua tekau ma iwa nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. Ko te ingoa hoki o tona whaea ko Iehoarana, no Hiruharama.
He was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years. His mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
3 A he tika tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, otiia kihai i rite ki ta tona tupuna, ki ta Rawiri. Rite tonu tana mahi ki nga mea katoa i mea ai tona papa a Ioaha.
He did what was right in the Lord's sight, but not in the same way as his forefather David had. He did everything just as his father Joash had done.
4 Ko nga wahi tiketike ia kahore i whakakahoretia: i patu whakahere tonu ano te iwi, i tahu whakakakara ki nga wahi tiketike.
But the high places were not removed. The people still were sacrificing and presenting burn offerings in those places.
5 A, no te unga o te kingitanga ki tona ringa, ka patua e ia ana tangata, nana ra i patu te kingi, tona papa.
Once he was secure on the throne he executed the officials who had murdered his father the king.
6 Ko nga tamariki ia a nga kaikohuru kihai i whakamatea e ia, kia rite ai ki te mea i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o te ture a Mohi, ki ta Ihowa hoki i whakahau ai, i ki ai, Kaua e whakamatea nga matua mo ta nga tamariki, kaua ano hoki e whakamatea nga tamariki mo ta nga matua; engari mate iho tenei, tenei, mo tona hara ake.
But he did not execute the murderers' children, following the Lord's command in the law of Moses that “Fathers must not be put to death for their children's sins, and children must not be put to death for their father's sins. Everyone is to die for their own sin.”
7 I patua e ia o nga Eromi ki te Raorao Tote tekau nga mano, a riro ana i a ia a Hera i te whawhai, a huaina iho e ia te ingoa ko Iokoteere, e mau nei a taea noatia tenei ra.
Amaziah killed ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. He attacked and captured Sela and renamed it Joktheel, which is what it is called to this very day.
8 Katahi a Amatia ka unga tangata ki a Iehoaha tama a Iehoahata tama a Iehu kingi o Iharaira, ka mea, Haere mai, taua ka titiro ki a taua.
Amaziah sent messengers to the king of Israel, Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, telling him, “Let's fight, face to face!”
9 Na ka unga tangata a Iehoaha kingi o Iharaira ki a Amatia kingi o Hura, hei mea, I unga tangata te tataramoa i Repanona ki te hita i Repanona, i mea, Homai tau tamahine hei wahine ma taku tama. Na, ko te haerenga atu o tetahi kararehe o te parae i Repanona, takahia iho e ia taua tataramoa.
Jehoash, king of Israel, replied to Amaziah, king of Judah: “In Lebanon a thistle sent a message to a cedar, saying, ‘Give your daughter as a wife to my son.’ But a wild animal of Lebanon came by and trampled down the thistle.
10 He tika i patua e koe a Eroma, a hikitia ana koe e tou ngakau: ko tena hei whakapehapeha mau, ka noho i tou whare. He aha koe ka whakapataritari ai, hei kino ano mou, e hinga ai koe, a koe me Hura?
You may indeed have defeated Edom. Now you've become arrogant. Stay home and enjoy your victory! Why provoke trouble that will bring you down, and Judah with you?”
11 Otiia kihai a Amatia i rongo. Na haere ana a Iehoaha kingi o Iharaira, a titiro ana raua ko Amatia kingi o Hura ki a raua ki Petehemehe o Hura.
But Amaziah refused to listen, so Jehoash, king of Israel, came to attack him. He and Amaziah, king of Judah, met face to face at Beth Shemesh in Judah.
12 Na ka patua a Hura i te aroaro o Iharaira, a rere ana ki tona teneti, ki tona teneti.
The army of Judah was defeated by Israel, and ran away home.
13 Na ka hopukia a Amatia kingi o Hura tama a Iehoaha, tama a Ahatia, e Iehoaha kingi o Iharaira ki Petehemehe. Na ka haere tera ki Hiruharama, wahia ana e ia te taiepa o Hiruharama i te kuwaha o Eparaima tae noa ki te kuwaha o te koki, e wha rau n ga whatianga.
Jehoash, king of Israel, captured Amaziah, king of Judah, the son of Joash, son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh. Then Jehoash attacked Jerusalem and knocked down the city wall from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate, about four hundred cubits in length.
14 Tangohia ake hoki e ia te koura katoa me te hiriwa, me nga oko katoa i kitea ki te whare o Ihowa, ki nga taonga o te whare o te kingi, me etahi tangata hei taumau i te ata noho, a hoki ana ki Hamaria.
He removed all the gold and silver, and all the items found in the Lord's Temple and in the treasuries of the royal palace, and also some hostages. Then he went back to Samaria.
15 Na, ko era atu meatanga i mea ai a Iehoaha me ana mahi toa, me tana whawhai ki a Amatia kingi o Hura, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira?
The rest of what happened in Jehoash's reign, all he did, and his great achievements and his war with Amaziah, king of Judah, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
16 Na ka moe a Iehoaha ki ona matua, a tanumia ana ki Hamaria ki nga kingi o Iharaira; a ko tana tama, ko Ieropoama te kingi i muri i a ia.
Jehoash died and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. His son Jeroboam succeeded him as king.
17 A kotahi tekau ma rima nga tau i ora ai a Amatia tama a Ioaha kingi o Hura i muri i te matenga o Iehoaha tama a Iehoahata kingi o Iharaira.
Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, lived for fifteen more years after the death of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
18 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Amatia, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?
The rest of the events that happened in Amaziah's reign are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
19 Na ka whakatupu ratou i te he mona ki Hiruharama; a rere ana ia ki Rakihi: otiia i tonoa e ratou he tangata ki te whai i a ia ki Rakihi, a patua iho ia ki reira.
A conspiracy against Amaziah took place in Jerusalem, and he ran away to Lachish. But men were sent after him and they murdered him there.
20 Na mauria ana ia i runga hoiho, a tanumia ana ki Hiruharama ki ona matua ki te pa o Rawiri.
They brought him back on horses and buried him in Jerusalem with his forefathers in the City of David.
21 Na ka mau te iwi katoa o Hura ki a Ataria, tekau ma ono ona tau, a meinga ana ia e ratou hei kingi i muri i tona papa, i a Amatia.
Then all the people of Judah made Amaziah's son Azariah king to replace his father. Azariah was sixteen years old.
22 Nana Erata i hanga, i whakahoki ano ki a Hura, i muri iho ka moe te kingi ki ona matua.
Azariah recaptured Elath for Judah and rebuilt it after his father's death.
23 No te tekau ma rima o nga tau o Amatia tama a Ioaha kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Ieropoama tama a Ioaha kingi o Iharaira ki Hamaria, e wha tekau ma tahi nga tau i kingi ai ia.
Jeroboam, son of Jehoash, became king of Israel in the fifteenth year of the reign of Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for forty-one years.
24 A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa: kihai i mahue i a ia tetahi hara o Ieropoama tama a Nepata i hara ai a Iharaira.
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight and did not end all the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit.
25 Nana i whakahoki te rohe o Iharaira, i te haerenga atu ki Hamata a tae noa ki te moana o te Arapaha; i rite ai te kupu a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, ara ta tana pononga, ta Hona poropiti tama a Amitai o Katahewhere i korero ai.
He restored the border of Israel to where it had been, from Lebo-hamath as far as the Sea of the Arabah, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had said through his servant Jonah, son of Amittai, the prophet, who came from Gath-hepher.
26 I kite hoki a Ihowa i te tukinotanga o Iharaira, he kino rawa; kihai tetahi i tutakina ki roto, i mahue noa atu ranei, kahore hoki he kaiwhakaora mo Iharaira.
The Lord had seen how badly the Israelites were suffering, both slave and free. No one was there to help Israel.
27 Kihai hoki a Ihowa i ki kia horoia atu te ingoa o Iharaira i raro i te rangi: engari i meinga e ia kia whakaorangia ratou e te ringa o Ieropoama tama a Ioaha.
However, since the Lord had said that he would not wipe out Israel, he saved them through Jeroboam, son of Jehoash.
28 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Ieropoama me ana mahi katoa, me ana mahi toa, ana whawhai, tana whakahokinga i Ramahiku, i Hamata, no Hura ra i mua, ki a Iharaira, kihai ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira?
The rest of what happened in Jeroboam's reign, all he did, his great achievements and the battles he fought, and how he recovered for Israel both Damascus and Hamath, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
29 Na ka moe a Ieropoama ki ona matua, ki nga kingi o Iharaira; a ko tana tama, ko Hakaraia te kingi i muri i a ia.
Jeroboam died and was buried with the kings of Israel. His son Zechariah succeeded him as king.
