2 Seenaa 25

1 Amasiyaa yeroo mootii taʼetti nama waggaa digdamii shan ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa digdamii sagal ni bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa, Yoʼaadaan ture; isheenis nama Yerusaalem turte.

Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years; his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.

2 Innis waan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti qajeelaa taʼe ni hojjete; garuu garaa guutuudhaan miti.

He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but his heart was not completely true to the Lord.

3 Inni erga jabeessee toʼannaa isaa jalatti mootummaa qabatee booddee qondaaltota abbaa isaa mooticha ajjeesan sana fixe.

Now when he became strong in the kingdom, he put to death those men who had taken the life of the king his father.

4 Taʼus inni akka waan Seera keessatti, Kitaaba Musee keessatti kan Waaqayyo, “Abbootiin sababii ijoollee isaaniitiif ajjeefamuu hin qaban yookaan ijoolleen sababii abbootii isaaniitiif ajjeefamuu hin qaban; tokkoon tokkoon namaa sababii cubbuu ofii isaatiif duʼa” jedhee ajaje sanaatti tarkaanfii fudhate malee ilmaan warra abbaa isaa ajjeesan sanaa hin fixne.

But he did not put their children to death, for he kept the orders of the Lord recorded in the book of the law of Moses, saying, The fathers are not to be put to death for their children or the children for their fathers, but a man is to be put to death for the sin which he himself has done.

5 Amasiyaa saba Yihuudaa walitti waamee akkuma maatii isaaniitti ajajjuuwwan kumaatii fi ajajjuuwwan dhibbaa guutummaa Yihuudaa fi Beniyaam keessatti ramade. Sana booddees warra umuriin isaanii waggaa digdamaa fi sanaa ol taʼe walitti qabee akka namoonni duulaaf qophaaʼan kanneen eeboo fi gaachana qabachuu dandaʼan kuma dhibba sadii taʼan argate.

Then Amaziah got all Judah together and put them in order by their families, even all Judah and Benjamin, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds: and he had those of twenty years old and over numbered, and they came to three hundred thousand of the best fighting-men, trained for war and in the use of the spear and the body-cover.

6 Akkasumas Israaʼel keessaa loltoota jajjaboo kuma dhibba tokko meetii taalaantii dhibba tokkoon ni qaxarate.

And for a hundred talents of silver, he got a hundred thousand fighting-men from Israel.

7 Garuu namni Waaqaa tokko isa bira dhufee akkana jedheen; “Yaa mootii, sababii Waaqayyo Israaʼel wajjinis taʼu namoota Efreem kam iyyuu wajjin hin jirreef loltoonni Israaʼel kunneen si wajjin hin duulin.

But a man of God came to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with you; for the Lord is not with Israel, that is, the children of Ephraim.

8 Yoo ati sodaa malee lola dhaqxe illee Waaqni fuula diinota keetii duratti si kuffisa; Waaqni gargaaruufis kuffisuufis humna qabaatii.”

But go yourself, and be strong in war; God will not let you go down before those who are fighting against you; for God has power to give help or to send you down before your attackers.

9 Amasiyaa immoo, “Garuu taalaantiin dhibbi ani loltoota Israaʼeliif baase sun maal haa taʼu ree?” jedhee nama Waaqaa sana ni gaafate. Namni Waaqaa sun immoo deebisee, “Waaqayyo waan sana caalu iyyuu siif kennuu ni dandaʼa” jedheen.

Then Amaziah said to the man of God, But what is to be done about the hundred talents which I have given for the armed band of Israel? And the man of God in answer said, God is able to give you much more than this.

10 Kanaafuu Amasiyaa loltoota biyya Efreemii isa bira dhufan sana akka isaan biyya isaaniitti deebiʼaniif gad dhiise. Isaanis Yihuudaatti aaranii akka malee dheekkamaa gara biyya isaaniitti deebiʼan.

So Amaziah, separating the armed band which had come to him from Ephraim, sent them back again; which made them very angry with Judah, and they went back burning with wrath.

11 Amasiyaa humna isaa jabeeffatee loltoota isaa gara Sulula Soogiddaatti erge; achittis namoota Seeʼiir kuma kudhan ni fixe.

Then Amaziah took heart, and went out at the head of his people and came to the Valley of Salt, where he put to death ten thousand of the children of Seir;

12 Loltoonni Yihuudaas namoota kuma kudhan biraa boojiʼan; fiixee kattaa tokkoottis ol baasanii achi irraa gad isaan dadarbatan; hundi isaaniis caccabanii hurraaʼan.

And ten thousand more the children of Israel took living, and made them go up to the top of the rock, pushing them down from the top of the rock so that their bodies were broken by the fall.

13 Loltoonni Amasiyaa akka isaan isa wajjin hin duulleef gara biyya isaaniitti deebisee erge sun garuu magaalaawwan Yihuudaa kanneen Samaariyaadhaa hamma Beet Horoonitti jiran ni dhaʼan. Isaanis namoota kuma sadii ajjeesanii boojuu baayʼee fudhatanii deeman.

But the men of the band which Amaziah sent back and did not take with him to the fight, made attacks on the towns of Judah from Samaria to Beth-horon, putting to death three thousand of their people and taking away a great store of their goods.

14 Amasiyaa yommuu namoota Edoom fixee deebiʼetti waaqota saba Seeʼiir fudhatee gale. Innis akkuma waaqota isaatti dhaabbatee sagadeefii aarsaa gubamu isaaniif ni dhiʼeesse.

Now when Amaziah came back from the destruction of the Edomites, he took the gods of the children of Seir and made them his gods, worshipping them and burning offerings before them.

15 Waaqayyos akka malee Amasiyaatti aaree raajii tokko itti erge; raajiin sunis, “Ati maaliif waaqota saba kanaa kanneen saba ofii isaa iyyuu harka keetii baasuu hin dandeenye gorsa gaafatta?” jedheen.

And so the wrath of the Lord was moved against Amaziah, and he sent a prophet to him, who said, Why have you gone after the gods of the people who have not given their people salvation from your hands?

16 Mootichis utuma inni dubbachaa jiruu, “Nu akka ati mootii gorsituuf si muudneerraa? Calʼisi! Maaliif rukutamta?” jedheen. Raajiin sunis ni calʼise; garuu, “Sababii ati gorsa koo dhagaʼuu diddee waan kana gooteef, ani akka Waaqni si balleessuuf murteesse nan beeka” jedheen.

But while he was talking to him the king said to him, Have we made you one of the king's government? say no more, or it will be the cause of your death. Then the prophet gave up protesting, and said, It is clear to me that God's purpose is your destruction, because you have done this and have not given ear to my words.

17 Amasiyaa mootichi Yihuudaa erga gorsitoota isaatiin mariʼatee booddee, “Kottu mee waraana keessatti wal ilaallaa” jedhee qoosaa kana gara Yooʼaash ilma Yehooʼaahaaz, ilma Yehuu, mooticha Israaʼelitti ni erge.

Then Amaziah, king of Judah, acting on the suggestion of his servants, sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us have a meeting face to face.

18 Yooʼaash mootichi Israaʼel garuu akkana jedhee Amasiyaa mooticha Yihuudaatiif deebii kenne; “Sokorruun Libaanoon keessaa tokko ergaa ergee birbirsaa Libaanooniin, ‘Intala kee ilma kootti heerumsiisi’ jedhe. Ergasii bineensi bosona Libaanoon keessaa tokko dhufee sokorruu sana irra miilaan deeme.

And Joash, king of Israel, sent to Amaziah, king of Judah, saying, The thorn-tree in Lebanon sent to the cedar in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son for a wife: and a beast from the woodland in Lebanon went by, crushing the thorn under his feet.

19 Ati, ‘Kunoo ati dhugumaan Edoomin moʼatteerta’ ofiin jettee amma of tuulaa jirta. Amma garuu mana kee taaʼi! Ati maaliif rakkina barbaaddee ofii keetii fi Yihuudaattis kufaatii fidda?”

You say, See, I have overcome Edom; and your heart is lifted up with pride: now keep in your country; why do you make causes of trouble, putting yourself, and Judah with you, in danger of downfall?

20 Amasiyaa garuu dhagaʼuu dide; sababii isaan waaqota Edoom duukaa buʼaniif Waaqni harka Yooʼaashitti dabarsee isaan kennuuf murteesseeraatii.

But Amaziah gave no attention; and this was the purpose of God, so that he might give them up into the hands of Joash, because they had gone after the gods of Edom.

21 Kanaafuu Yooʼaash mootichi Israaʼel kaʼee lola bane. Innii fi Amasiyaa mootichi Yihuudaa biyya Yihuudaa keessatti Beet Shemeshitti walitti baʼan.

And so Joash, king of Israel, went up; and he and Amaziah, king of Judah, came face to face at Beth-shemesh in Judah.

22 Warri Yihuudaas warra Israaʼeliin moʼatamanii tokkoon tokkoon namaas gara mana ofii isaatti baqate.

And Judah was overcome before Israel, and they went in flight, every man to his tent.

23 Yooʼaash mootichi Israaʼel, Amasiyaa mooticha Yihuudaa ilma Iyooʼas ilma Ahaaziyaa sana Beet Shemeshitti qabe. Iyooʼasis gara Yerusaalemitti isa fidee Karra Efreemiitii jalqabee hamma Karra Goleetti dallaa Yerusaalem kan dhagaa sana diige; kutaan diigame kun dhundhuma dhibba afur lafa irra dheerata ture.

And Joash, king of Israel, made Amaziah, king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, prisoner at Beth-shemesh, and took him to Jerusalem; and he had the wall of Jerusalem pulled down from the doorway of Ephraim to the doorway in the angle, four hundred cubits.

24 Innis warqee fi meetii hunda, akkasumas miʼa mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa keessatti argamu kan Oobeed Edoom eegaa ture hunda, qabeenya masaraa mootummaa fi namoota boojiʼe illee fudhatee gara Samaariyaatti deebiʼe.

And he took all the gold and silver and all the vessels which were in the house of the Lord, under the care of Obed-edom, and all the wealth from the king's house, as well as those whose lives would be the price of broken faith, and went back to Samaria.

25 Amasiyaa ilmi Yooʼaash mootichi Yihuudaa erga Yooʼaash ilmi Yehooʼaahaaz mootichi Israaʼel duʼee booddee waggaa kudha shan jiraate.

Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, went on living for fifteen years after the death of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.

26 Wantoonni bara mootummaa Amasiyaa keessa jalqabaa hamma dhumaatti hojjetaman kanneen biraa kitaaba mootota Yihuudaa fi Israaʼel keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii?

Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, are they not recorded in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?

27 Yeroo Amasiyaa Waaqayyoon duukaa buʼuu irraa garagalee jalqabee isaan Yerusaalem keessatti isatti malatan; innis gara Laakkiishitti baqate; isaan immoo faanuma isaa Laakkiishitti namoota erganii achitti isa ajjeesan.

Now from the time when Amaziah gave up worshipping the Lord, they made secret designs against him in Jerusalem; and he went in flight to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him and put him to death there.

28 Isaanis fardaan isa fidanii Magaalaa Yihuudaatti abbootii isaa biratti isa ni awwaalan.

And they took his body on horseback and put it into the earth with his fathers in the town of David.
