2 Khokhuen 25

1 Amaziah te kum kul kum nga a lo ca vaengah manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum kul kum ko manghai. A manu ming tah Jerusalem lamkah Jehoaddin ni.

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 BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem a saii dae thinko rhuemtuet nen moenih.

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

3 Anih kut hmuiah ram te a cak vanbangla a napa manghai aka ngawn a sal rhoek te a ngawn.

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 A ca rhoek te tah Moses cabu dongkah olkhueng khuiah a daek bangla duek sak pawh. Te ah te BOEIPA loh a uen tih, “A ca kongah a napa duek boel saeh, a napa kongah a ca he duek boel saeh. Hlang he amah tholhnah kongah amah duek saeh,” a ti.

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 Amaziah loh Judah te a coi tih amih te a napa imkhui tarhing ah thawngkhat mangpa, yakhat mangpa te Judah pum neh Benjamin ham a pai sak. Te vaengah amih te tongpa kum kul lamloh a so hang te a soep. Te vaengah cai neh photlinglen aka pom tih caempuei la caeh ham a coelh he thawng ya thum a hmuh.

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 Israel lamkah tatthai hlangrhalh thawng yakhat te cak talent yakhat neh a paang.

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

7 Te vaengah Pathen kah hlang te anih taengla pawk tih, “Manghai aw, Israel caempuei te nang taengla ha pawk mahpawh. BOEIPA he Israel taeng neh Ephraim koca boeih taengah a om moenih.

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 Na cet tih caemtloek vaengah thaahuel la na saii mai cakhaw Pathen loh nang te thunkha mikhmuh ah m'palet sak ni. Pathen taengah tah bom ham neh palet sak ham khaw thadueng om a ti nah.

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 Amaziah loh Pathen kah hlang te, “Tedae Israel caem hamla talent yakhat ka paek nen te balae ka saii eh?,” a ti tah. Te vaengah Pathen kah hlang loh, “Te lakah a kum ngai nang taengah m'paek ham te BOEIPA taengah om,” a ti nah.

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 Te dongah amih te Amaziah loh a phihrha sak tih anih taengla aka pawk caem te khaw Ephraim lamloh amah hmuen la a caeh sak. Te vaengah amih kah thintoek te Judah taengah sai khungdaeng tih amah hmuen la thinling thintoek neh mael uh.

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 Te phoeiah tah Amaziah loh thaa a huel tih a pilnam te a khool. Kolrhawk la cet bal tih Seir koca thawng rha te a ngawn.

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 Te vaengah Judah ca rhoek te a hing la thawng rha a sol tih amih te thaelpang pango la a khuen uh. Te phoeiah amih te thaelpang pango lamloh a tulh uh tih a pum la sah uh.

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 Caemtloek vaengah anih neh aka pongpa khuiah caem pa rhoek te Amaziah loh a mael sak vaengah tah, Judah khopuei ah Samaria lamloh Bethhoron la capit uh tih, te rhoek lamkah te thawng thum a ngawn uh dongah kutbuem muep a poelyoe uh.

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 Edom aka ngawn lamloh Amaziah a mael hnukah atah Seir ca rhoek kah pathen te a khuen. Te te amah ham pathen la a khueh tih a mikhmuh ah a bakop pah, te rhoek taengah phum uh.

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 Te dongah BOEIPA kah thintoek te Amaziah taengah sai tih a taengla tonghma a tueih pah. Te vaengah anih te, “Balae tih nang kut lamkah a pilnam aka huul thai pawh pilnam pathen te na toem?” a ti nah.

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 A taengah a thui ham a om li vaengah anih te, “Manghai taengah aka uento la nang kam paek uh a? Nang te paa laeh, balae tih nang n'ngawn uh eh?,” a ti nah. Te vaengah tonghma te a paa sak dae, “Ka cilsuep he na hnatun pawt tih he tla na saii dongah nang phae hamla Pathen loh a thui te ka ming,” a ti nah.

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 Judah manghai Amaziah loh a uen phoeiah tah Israel manghai Jehu koca, Jehoahaz capa Joash te a tah tih, “Nang te lo lamtah maelhmai hmu uh rhoi sih,” a ti nah.

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 Tedae Israel manghai Joash loh Judah manghai Amaziah te ol a pat tih, “Lebanon kah mutlo hling loh Lebanon kah lamphai te a tah tih, 'Nang canu te kai capa yuu la m'pae mai,’ a ti nah. Te vaengah Lebanon ah aka pong khohmuen mulhing loh mutlo hling te a taelh.

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 Edom na ngawn te na thui tih na lungbuei thangpom ham na phuel uh coeng te. Namah im ah om laeh. Balae tih boethae te na huet? Te dongah ni namah neh na taengkah Judah khaw na cungku puei,” a ti nah.

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 Tedae Amaziah loh a hnatun pawt he Pathen taeng lamkah coeng dongah ni. Edom pathen te a toem uh dongah amih kut ah a tloeng van.

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 Israel manghai Joash te cet tangloeng tih Judah kah Bethshemesh ah Judah manghai Amaziah neh a maelhmai a hmuh uh.

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 Te vaengah Judah te Israel mikhmuh ah yawk tih hlang khaw amah kah dap la rhaelrham uh.

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

23 Jehoahaz koca Joash capa Judah manghai Amaziah te khaw Israel manghai Joash loh Bethshemesh ah a tuuk tih anih te Jerusalem la akhuen. Te phoeiah Jerusalem vongtung te Ephraim vongka lamloh bangkil vongka hil dong ya li te a phae pah.

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 Te vaengah sui neh cak boeih khaw, Obededom neh Pathen im kah a hmuh hnopai boeih khaw, manghai im kah thakvoh te khaw, hlangtlan ca rhoek te khaw Samaria la a mael puei.

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 Israel manghai Jehoahaz capa Joash a dueknah hnukah Judah manghai Joash capa Amaziah he kum hlai nga hing pueng.

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 Amaziah kah ol noi a kung neh a dong khaw, Judah neh Israel manghai cabu khuiah a daek uh moenih a te?

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 Te vaeng tue lamlong tah Amaziah te BOEIPA hnuk lamloh nong tih anih te Jerusalem ah lairhui neh a taeng uh. Te dongah Lakhish la rhaelrham dae anih hnukah Lakhish la a tueih uh tih anih te pahoi a duek sakuh.

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 Anih te marhang neh a phueih uh tih Judah khopuei kah a napa rhoek taengah a up uh.

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