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 began to reign; he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. 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 Yahweh, but not with a whole heart.
3 Inni erga jabeessee toʼannaa isaa jalatti mootummaa qabatee booddee qondaaltota abbaa isaa mooticha ajjeesan sana fixe.
It came about that as soon as his rule was well established, he killed the servants who had murdered his father, the king.
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 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 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.
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 Akkasumas Israaʼel keessaa loltoota jajjaboo kuma dhibba tokko meetii taalaantii dhibba tokkoon ni qaxarate.
He hired also 100,000 fighting men from Israel for one hundred talents of silver.
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 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 Yoo ati sodaa malee lola dhaqxe illee Waaqni fuula diinota keetii duratti si kuffisa; Waaqni gargaaruufis kuffisuufis humna qabaatii.”
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 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.
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 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 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 Amasiyaa humna isaa jabeeffatee loltoota isaa gara Sulula Soogiddaatti erge; achittis namoota Seeʼiir kuma kudhan ni fixe.
Amaziah took courage and led his people to go out to the Valley of Salt; there he defeated ten thousand men of Seir.
12 Loltoonni Yihuudaas namoota kuma kudhan biraa boojiʼan; fiixee kattaa tokkoottis ol baasanii achi irraa gad isaan dadarbatan; hundi isaaniis caccabanii hurraaʼan.
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 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 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 Amasiyaa yommuu namoota Edoom fixee deebiʼetti waaqota saba Seeʼiir fudhatee gale. Innis akkuma waaqota isaatti dhaabbatee sagadeefii aarsaa gubamu isaaniif ni dhiʼeesse.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 Amasiyaa garuu dhagaʼuu dide; sababii isaan waaqota Edoom duukaa buʼaniif Waaqni harka Yooʼaashitti dabarsee isaan kennuuf murteesseeraatii.
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 Kanaafuu Yooʼaash mootichi Israaʼel kaʼee lola bane. Innii fi Amasiyaa mootichi Yihuudaa biyya Yihuudaa keessatti Beet Shemeshitti walitti baʼan.
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 Warri Yihuudaas warra Israaʼeliin moʼatamanii tokkoon tokkoon namaas gara mana ofii isaatti baqate.
Judah was struck down before Israel, and every man fled home.
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.
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 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.
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 Amasiyaa ilmi Yooʼaash mootichi Yihuudaa erga Yooʼaash ilmi Yehooʼaahaaz mootichi Israaʼel duʼee booddee waggaa kudha shan jiraate.
Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, lived fifteen years after the death of Jehoash, 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?
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 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 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 Isaanis fardaan isa fidanii Magaalaa Yihuudaatti abbootii isaa biratti isa ni awwaalan.
They brought him back on horses and buried him with his ancestors in the city of Judah.
