2 Makoronike 25
1 Amazia aiva namakore makumi maviri namashanu paakava mambo, akatonga muJerusarema kwamakore makumi maviri namapfumbamwe. Mai vake vainzi Jehoadhini, uye vaibva kuJerusarema.
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 Akaita zvakanga zvakanaka pamberi paJehovha, asi kwete nomwoyo wose.
He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but his heart was not completely true to the Lord.
3 Paakapedza kusimbisa umambo hwake akauraya machinda akanga auraya baba vake.
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 Kunyange zvakadaro haana kuuraya vanakomana vavo asi akaita sezvazvakanga zvakanyorwa muMurayiro, muBhuku raMozisi, umo Jehovha akarayira achiti, “Madzibaba havafaniri kuurayiwa nokuda kwavana vavo, uye kuti vana havafaniri kuurayiwa nokuda kwamadzibaba avo.”
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 Amazia akaunganidza vanhu veJudha akavaronga zvichienderana nemhuri dzavo pasi pavatungamiri vezviuru uye navatungamiri vamazana akaverengawo vaiva namakore makumi maviri naanopfuura akaona kuti vaisvika zviuru mazana matatu vakanga vakagadzirira kuenda kuhondo, vaigona kushandisa mapfumo nenhoo.
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 Akatorazve varwi zviuru zana kubva kuIsraeri akavaripa matarenda zana esirivha.
And for a hundred talents of silver, he got a hundred thousand fighting-men from Israel.
7 Asi munhu waMwari akauya kwaari akati, “Haiwa Mambo, ava varwi vabva kuIsraeri havafaniri kuenda nemi nokuti Jehovha havasi kuIsraeri, havasi kune upi zvake munhu wokuEfuremu.
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 Kunyange mukaenda kundorwa nesimba rose, Mwari achakukundai pamberi pavavengi nokuti Mwari ane simba rokubatsira kana kuputsa.”
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 Amazia akabvunza munhu waMwari akati, “Asi, matarenda zana andakaripa kuvaIsraeri anoitwa sei?” Munhu waMwari akapindura akati, “Jehovha anogona kukupa zvakawanda kupfuura izvi.”
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 Saka Amazia akaregera varwi vose vakanga vabva kuEfuremu vachienda uye akavati vaende zvavo kumba. Vakatsamwa zvikuru nokuda kweJudha vakaenda kumba vachipopota zvikuru.
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 Ipapo Amazia akatungamirira hondo yake kuMupata weMunyu, kwaakandouraya varume veSeiri zviuru gumi.
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 Hondo yeJudha yakabatazve varume zviuru gumi vakavatora vakaenda navo pamusoro pegomo pamawere vakavakanda pasi pakavhunika-vhunika.
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 Panguva imwe cheteyo varwi vakanga vadzoserwa naAmazia pakurwa uku vakandopamba maguta eJudhea kubva kuSamaria kusvika kuBheti Horoni. Vakauraya zviuru zvitatu zvavanhu vakatakura zvinhu zvizhinji kwazvo zvavakapamba.
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 Amazia paakadzoka kundouraya vaEdhomu, akadzosa vamwari vavanhu veSeiri akavamisa, akavakotamira savamwari vake, akavapisira zvibayiro.
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 Kutsamwa kwaMwari kwakauya pamusoro paAmazia, akatuma muprofita kwaari, akati, “Seiko uchibvunzira kuna vamwari vavanhu ava vakatadza kuponesa vanhu vavo kubva mumaoko ako?”
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 Achiri kutaura, mambo akati kwaari, “Ko, takugadza kuti uve mupi wamazano wamambo here? Mira! Uchafireko?” Saka muprofita akamira, asi akati, “Ndinoziva kuti Mwari akagadzirira kukuparadza nokuti wakaita izvi, uye hauna kuteerera kurayira kwangu.”
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 Mushure mokunge Amazia mambo weJudha abvunza vapi vake vamazano akatumira shoko rokudenha kuna Jehoashi, mwanakomana waJehoahazi, mwanakomana waJehu, mambo weIsraeri achiti, “Uya tisangane chiso nechiso.”
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 Asi Jehoashi mambo weIsraeri akapindura Amazia mambo weJudha akati, “Rukato rwakanga rwuri muRebhanoni rwakatuma shoko kumusidhari wakanga uri muRebhanoni, rokuti, ‘Ipa mwanasikana wako kumwanakomana wangu kuti ave mukadzi wake.’ Ipapo imwe mhuka yomusango yaiva muRebhanoni yakauya ikatsika-tsika rukato rwuya pasi petsoka dzayo.
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 Unozviti wakakunda vaEdhomu uye zvino wava namanyawi nokuzvikudza. Zvino gara kumba kwako! Seiko uchikumbira matambudziko uye uchizviwisira pasi iwe neJudhawo?”
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 Kunyange zvakadaro, Amazia haana kuteerera, nokuti Mwari akaita izvozvo kuti avaise kuna Jehoashi nokuti vakanga vatsvaka vamwari veEdhomu.
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 Saka Jehoashi mambo weIsraeri akavarwisa. Iye naAmazia vakatarisana paBheti Shemeshi muJudha.
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 Judha yakakundwa neIsraeri uye munhu wose akatizira kumba kwake.
And Judah was overcome before Israel, and they went in flight, every man to his tent.
23 Jehoashi mambo weIsraeri akatapa Amazia mambo weJudha, mwanakomana waJoashi, mwanakomana waAhazia paBheti Shemeshi. Ipapo Jehoashi akauya naye kuJerusarema akaputsa rusvingo rweJerusarema kubva paSuo raEfuremu kusvika paSuo Rapakona, nzvimbo yakareba makubhiti mazana mana.
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 Akatora goridhe nesirivha yose nemidziyo yose yakawanikwa mutemberi yaMwari zvaichengetwa naObhedhi-Edhomu, pamwe chete nepfuma yose yaiva mumuzinda navanhu vorubatso, uye vakadzokera kuSamaria.
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 Amazia mwanakomana waJoashi mambo weJudha akararama kwamakore gumi namashanu mushure mokunge Jehoashi mwanakomana waJehoahazi mambo weIsraeri afa.
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 Zvimwe zvose zvakaitwa naAmazia mukutonga kwake kubva pakutonga kusvikira pakupedzisira hazvina kunyorwa here mubhuku ramadzimambo eJudha neIsraeri?
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 Kubva panguva yakatsauka Amazia kubva mukutevera Jehovha, vakamupandukira muJerusarema uye iye akatizira kuRakishi vakandomuurayira ikoko.
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 Akandotorwa namabhiza akazovigwa pamwe chete namadzibaba ake muGuta reJudha.
And they took his body on horseback and put it into the earth with his fathers in the town of David.
