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, and 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 that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, but not with a perfect heart.
3 Inni erga jabeessee toʼannaa isaa jalatti mootummaa qabatee booddee qondaaltota abbaa isaa mooticha ajjeesan sana fixe.
Now when the kingdom was established to him, he killed his servants who had killed 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 didn’t put their children to death, but did according to that which is written in the law in the book of Moses, as Yahweh commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers; but every man shall 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 ordered them according to their fathers’ houses, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, even all Judah and Benjamin. He counted them from twenty years old and upward, and found that there were three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go out to war, who could handle spear and shield.
6 Akkasumas Israaʼel keessaa loltoota jajjaboo kuma dhibba tokko meetii taalaantii dhibba tokkoon ni qaxarate.
He also hired one hundred thousand mighty men of valor out of 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.
A man of God came to him, saying, “O king, don’t let the army of Israel go with you, for Yahweh is not with Israel, with all 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 if you will go, take action, and be strong for the battle. God will overthrow you before the enemy; for God has power to help, and to overthrow.”
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 shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel?” The man of God answered, “Yahweh 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.
Then Amaziah separated them, the army that had come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again. Therefore 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 out and went to the Valley of Salt, and struck 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.
The children of Judah carried away ten thousand alive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and threw them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were 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 whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell on the cities of Judah from Samaria even to Beth Horon, and struck of them three thousand, 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 after Amaziah had come from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself 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.
Therefore Yahweh’s anger burned against Amaziah, and he sent to him a prophet who said to him, “Why have you sought after the gods of the people, which have not delivered their own people out of 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.
As he talked with him, the king said to him, “Have we made you one of the king’s counselors? Stop! Why should you be struck down?” Then the prophet stopped, and said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel.”
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 his advisers, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come! Let’s look one another in the 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.
Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as his wife. Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed 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 say to yourself that you have struck Edom; and your heart lifts you up to boast. Now stay at home. Why should you meddle with trouble, that you should fall, even 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; for it was of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought 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.
So Joash king of Israel went up, and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
22 Warri Yihuudaas warra Israaʼeliin moʼatamanii tokkoon tokkoon namaas gara mana ofii isaatti baqate.
Judah was defeated by Israel; so every man fled 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.
Joash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth Shemesh and brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, 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.
He took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in God’s house with Obed-Edom, and the treasures of the king’s house, and the hostages, and returned to Samaria.
25 Amasiyaa ilmi Yooʼaash mootichi Yihuudaa erga Yooʼaash ilmi Yehooʼaahaaz mootichi Israaʼel duʼee booddee waggaa kudha shan jiraate.
Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived for fifteen years after the death of Joash, 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, behold, aren’t they 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 made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. He fled to Lachish, but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.
28 Isaanis fardaan isa fidanii Magaalaa Yihuudaatti abbootii isaa biratti isa ni awwaalan.
They brought him on horses and buried him with his fathers in the City of Judah.
