< 2 Nyakati 25 >
1 Amazia alikuwa na umri wa miaka ishirini na mitano alipoanza kutawala, naye akatawala huko Yerusalemu kwa miaka ishirini na tisa. Mama yake aliitwa Yehoadani kutoka Yerusalemu.
Forsothe Amasie, `his sone, regnede for hym; Amasie was of fyue and twenti yeer, whanne he bigan to regne, and he regnyde nyne and twenti yeer in Jerusalem; the name of his modir was Joiaden, of Jerusalem.
2 Akatenda yaliyo mema machoni pa Bwana, lakini sio kwa moyo wake wote.
And he dide good in the siyt of the Lord, netheles not in perfit herte.
3 Baada ya ufalme kuimarika mikononi mwake, aliwaua maafisa waliomuua mfalme baba yake.
And whanne he siy the empire strengthid to hym silf, he stranglide the seruauntis, that killiden the kyng, his fadir;
4 Hata hivyo hakuwaua watoto wao, lakini akafanya sawasawa na ilivyoandikwa katika Sheria, katika Kitabu cha Mose, ambako Bwana aliamuru: “Baba hawatauawa kwa ajili ya watoto wao, wala watoto hawatauawa kwa ajili ya baba zao. Kila mmoja atakufa kwa ajili ya dhambi zake mwenyewe.”
but he killide not the sones of hem; as it is writun in the book of the lawe of Moises, where the Lord comaundide, seiynge, Fadris schulen not be slayn for the sones, nether the sones for her fadris; but ech man schal die in his owne synne.
5 Amazia akawaita watu wa Yuda pamoja, akawaweka chini ya majemadari wa maelfu na majemadari wa mamia kufuatana na jamaa zao katika Yuda yote na Benyamini. Kisha akawahesabu wale wenye umri wa miaka ishirini au zaidi na akakuta kwamba walikuwa wanaume 300,000 watu walio tayari kwa utumishi wa jeshi, walio na uwezo wa kutumia mkuki na ngao.
Therfor Amasie gaderide togidere Juda, and ordeynede hem bi meynees and tribunes and centuriouns, in al Juda and Beniamyn; and he noumbride fro twenti yeer and aboue, and he foonde thritti thousynde of yonge men, that yeden out to batel, and helden spere and scheeld.
6 Akawaajiri pia watu 100,000 wapiganaji kutoka Israeli kwa talanta 100 za fedha.
Also for mede he hiride of Israel an hundrid thousynde of stronge men, for an hundrid talentis of siluer, that thei schulden fiyte ayens the sones of Edom.
7 Lakini mtu wa Mungu akamjia na kumwambia, “Ee mfalme, haya majeshi kutoka Israeli kamwe usiyaruhusu yaende pamoja na wewe kwa kuwa Bwana hayuko pamoja na Israeli, wala hayupo pamoja na yeyote wa watu wa Efraimu.
Forsothe a man of God cam to hym, and seide, A! kyng, the oost of Israel go not out with thee, for the Lord is not with Israel and with alle the sones of Effraym;
8 Hata kama ukienda na kupigana kwa ujasiri katika vita, Mungu atakufanya ukimbie mbele ya adui, kwa kuwa Mungu anao uwezo wa kusaidia au wa kuangusha.”
for if thou gessist that batels stonden in the myyt of oost, the Lord schal make thee to be ouercomun of enemyes, for it is of God for to helpe, and to turne in to fliyt.
9 Amazia akamuuliza yule mtu wa Mungu, “Lakini itakuwaje kwa zile talanta 100 za fedha nilizolipa kwa ajili ya haya majeshi ya Israeli?” Yule mtu wa Mungu akajibu, “Bwana aweza kukupa zaidi sana ya hizo.”
And Amasie seide to the man of God, What therfor schal be doon of the hundrid talentis, which Y yaf to the knyytis of Israel? And the man of God answeride to hym, The Lord hath, wherof he may yelde to thee myche mo thingis than these.
10 Hivyo Amazia akayaondoa yale majeshi yaliyokuwa yamekuja kutoka Efraimu na kuyarudisha nyumbani. Waliwakasirikia sana Yuda, nao wakarudi nyumbani wakiwa na hasira kali.
Therfor Amasie departide the oost that cam to hym fro Effraym, that it schulde turne ayen in to his place; and thei weren wrooth greetli ayens Juda, and turneden ayen in to her cuntrei.
11 Ndipo Amazia akajitia nguvu na kuliongoza jeshi lake kwenye Bonde la Chumvi, ambako aliua watu 10,000 wa Seiri.
Forsothe Amasie ledde out tristili his puple, and yede in to the valei of makyngis of salt, and he killide of the sones of Seir ten thousynde.
12 Jeshi la Yuda pia likawateka watu 10,000 wakiwa hai, likawapandisha juu ya jabali na kuwatupa chini kwa nguvu hata wote wakavunjika vipande vipande.
And the sones of Juda token othere ten thousynde of men, and brouyten to the hiy scarre of summe stoon; and castiden hem doun fro the hiyeste in to the pit; whiche alle braken.
13 Wakati huo yale majeshi Amazia aliyoyarudisha na ambayo hakuyaruhusu kushiriki katika vita, yalivamia miji ya Yuda kuanzia Samaria hata Beth-Horoni. Yakawaua watu 3,000 na kuchukua kiasi kikubwa sana cha mateka.
And thilke oost whom Amasie hadde sent ayen, that it schulde not go with him to batel, was spred abrood in the citees of Juda fro Samarie `til to Betheron; and aftir `that it hadde slayn thre thousynde, it took awey a greet preie.
14 Amazia aliporudi kutoka kuwachinja Waedomu, alileta pia kutoka huko miungu ya watu wa Seiri. Akaisimamisha kama miungu yake mwenyewe, akaisujudia na kuitolea kafara za kuteketezwa.
And Amasie, after the sleyng of Idumeis, and after that he hadde brouyt the goddis of the sones of Seir, ordeynede hem `in to goddis to hym silf, and worschipide hem, and brente encense to hem.
15 Hasira ya Bwana ikawaka dhidi ya Amazia, naye akamtuma nabii kwake, ambaye alisema: “Kwa nini unauliza kwa miungu ya hawa watu, ambayo haikuweza kuwaokoa watu wake wenyewe kutoka mkononi mwako?”
Wherfor the Lord was wrooth ayens Amasie, and sente to hym a profete, that seide to hym, Whi worschipist thou goddis that `delyueriden not her puple fro thin hond?
16 Wakati nabii alipokuwa angali anazungumza, mfalme akamwambia, “Je, wewe tumekuchagua kuwa mshauri wa mfalme? Nyamaza, ya nini uuawe?” Hivyo nabii akanyamaza lakini akasema, “Najua kuwa Mungu ameazimia kukuangamiza kwa sababu umefanya jambo hili na hukusikiliza shauri langu.”
Whanne the profete spak these thingis, Amasie answeride to hym, Whether thou art a counselour of the king? ceesse thou, lest perauenture Y sle thee. Therfor the profete yede awei, and seide, Y woot, that the Lord thouyte to sle thee; for thou didist this yuel, and ferthermore thou assentidist not to my counsel.
17 Baada ya Amazia mfalme wa Yuda kushauriana na washauri wake akatuma ujumbe kwa Yehoashi, mwana wa Yehoahazi mwana wa Yehu, mfalme wa Israeli kusema: “Njoo tukabiliane uso kwa uso.”
Therfor Amasie, the king of Juda, whanne he hadde take a ful yuel counsel, sente to the kyng of Israel Joas, the sone of Joachaz, the sone of Hieu, and seide, Come thou, se we vs togidere.
18 Lakini Yehoashi mfalme wa Israeli akamjibu Amazia mfalme wa Yuda, “Mbaruti uliokuwa Lebanoni ulituma ujumbe kwa mwerezi uliokuwa Lebanoni, ‘Mtoe binti yako aolewe na mwanangu.’ Kisha mnyama wa mwituni aliyekuwa Lebanoni akaja na kuukanyaga ule mbaruti.
And he sente ayen messangeris, and seide, A `cardue, ether a tasil, which is in the Liban sente to the cedre of the Liban, and seide, Yyue thi douyter a wijf to my sone; and lo! beestis that weren in the wode of the Liban yeden and defouliden the cardue.
19 Wewe unasema moyoni mwako kwamba umemshinda Edomu, nawe sasa unajigamba na kujivuna. Lakini kaa nyumbani kwako! Kwa nini utafute matatizo na kujiletea anguko lako mwenyewe na la Yuda pia?”
Thou seidist, Y haue smyte Edom, and therfor thin herte is reysid in to pride; sitte thou in thin hows; whi stirist thou yuel ayens thee, that thou falle, and Juda with thee?
20 Hata hivyo, Amazia hakutaka kusikia, kwa kuwa Mungu alifanya hivyo ili awatie mikononi mwa Yehoashi, kwa sababu waliitafuta miungu ya Edomu.
Amasie nolde here, for it was the wille of the Lord, that he schulde be bitakun in to the hondis of enemyes, for the goddis of Edom.
21 Hivyo Yehoashi mfalme wa Israeli akakwea kuwashambulia. Yeye na Amazia mfalme wa Yuda wakakabiliana uso kwa uso huko Beth-Shemeshi katika Yuda.
Therfor Joas, kyng of Israel, stiede, and thei siyen hem silf togidere. Sotheli Amasie, the kyng of Juda, was in Bethsames of Juda;
22 Yuda ikashindwa na Israeli na kila mtu akakimbilia nyumbani kwake.
and Juda felde doun bifor Israel, and fledde in to his tabernaclis.
23 Yehoashi mfalme wa Israeli akamteka Amazia mfalme wa Yuda, mwana wa Yoashi, mwana wa Ahazia, huko Beth-Shemeshi. Kisha Yehoashi akamleta Yerusalemu na kuubomoa ukuta wa Yerusalemu kuanzia lango la Efraimu hadi Lango la Pembeni, sehemu yenye urefu wa kama dhiraa 400.
Certis the kyng of Israel took in Bethsames Amasie, the kyng of Juda, the sone of Joas, sone of Joachaz, and brouyte in to Jerusalem; and he destriede the wallis therof fro the yate of Effraym `til to the yate of the corner, bi foure hundrid cubitis.
24 Akachukua dhahabu yote, fedha na vyombo vyote vilivyopatikana katika Hekalu la Mungu, ambavyo vilikuwa chini ya uangalizi wa Obed-Edomu, pamoja na hazina za jumba la mfalme na mateka, kisha akarudi Samaria.
And be ledde ayen in to Samarie al the gold and siluer, and alle vessels whiche he foond in the hows of the Lord, and at Obededom, in the tresouris also of the kyngis hows, also and the sones of ostagis.
25 Amazia mwana wa Yoashi mfalme wa Yuda aliishi miaka kumi na mitano baada ya kifo cha Yehoashi mwana wa Yehoahazi mfalme wa Israeli.
Forsothe Amasie, kyng of Juda, the sone of Joas, lyuede fiftene yeer aftir that Joas, kyng of Israel, the sone of Joachaz, was deed.
26 Kwa habari ya matukio mengine katika utawala wa Amazia, kuanzia mwanzo hadi mwisho, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha wafalme wa Yuda na wa Israeli?
Sotheli the residue of the formere and the laste wordis of Amasie ben writun in the book of kyngis of Juda and of Israel.
27 Kuanzia wakati ule Amazia alipogeuka na kuacha kumfuata Bwana walifanya shauri baya dhidi yake huko Yerusalemu naye akakimbilia Lakishi, lakini wakawatuma watu wamfuatilie huko Lakishi nao wakamuulia huko.
And aftir that he yede awei fro the Lord, thei settiden to hym tresouns in Jerusalem; and whanne he hadde fledde to Lachis, thei senten and killiden hym there;
28 Akarudishwa kwa farasi na akazikwa pamoja na baba zake katika Mji wa Yuda.
and thei brouyten ayen on horsis, and birieden hym with his fadris in the citee of Dauid.
