2 Chronicles 25

1 Amaziah was 25 years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled from Jerusalem for 29 years. His mother was Jehoaddin; she was from Jerusalem.

Si Amasias ay may dalawangpu't limang taon nang siya'y magpasimulang maghari; at siya'y naghari na dalawangpu't siyam na taon sa Jerusalem: at ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina ay si Joadan na taga Jerusalem.

2 Amaziah did many things that pleased Yahweh, but he did not do them enthusiastically.

At siya'y gumawa ng matuwid sa harap ng mga mata ng Panginoon, nguni't hindi ng sakdal na puso.

3 As soon as he was in complete control of his kingdom, he caused to be executed the officials who had murdered his father.

Nangyari nga nang ang kaharian ay matatag sa kaniya, na kaniyang pinatay ang kaniyang mga lingkod na nagsipatay sa hari na kaniyang ama.

4 But he did not command their sons to be executed; he obeyed what was in the laws that Moses had written. In those laws Yahweh had commanded, “People must not be executed because of [what] their children [have done], and children must not be executed for [what] their parents [have done]. People must be executed only for the sins that they themselves have committed.”

Nguni't hindi niya pinatay ang kanilang mga anak, kundi gumawa ng ayon sa nakasulat sa kautusan sa aklat ni Moises, gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon, na sinasabi, ang mga ama ay hindi mangamamatay ng dahil sa mga anak, ni ang mga anak man ay nangamamatay ng dahil sa ama: kundi bawa't tao ay mamamatay dahil sa kaniyang sariling kasalanan.

5 Amaziah summoned the men of [the tribes of] Judah and Benjamin to come to Jerusalem, and there he put them in groups, each clan in a group by themselves. Then he appointed officers to command each group. Some officers commanded 100 men and some commanded 1,000 men. They counted the men who were at least 20 years old; altogether there were 300,000 men. They were all men who were prepared to be in the army, and able to [fight well, ] using spears and shields.

Bukod dito'y pinisan ni Amasias ang Juda, at iniutos sa kanila ang ayon sa mga sangbahayan ng kanilang mga magulang, sa kapangyarihan ng mga pinunong kawal ng lilibuhin at ng mga pinunong kawal ng dadaanin, sa makatuwid baga'y ang buong Juda at Benjamin: at kaniyang binilang sila mula sa dalawangpung taong gulang na patanda, at nasumpungan niya silang tatlong daang libong piling lalake, na makalalabas sa pakikipagdigma, na makahahawak ng sibat at kalasag.

6 Amaziah also hired 100,000 capable soldiers from Israel and paid almost four tons of silver for them.

Siya'y umupa rin naman ng isang daang libong makapangyarihang lalake na matatapang na mula sa Israel sa halagang isang daang talentong pilak.

7 But a prophet came to him and said, “Your majesty, you must not allow those soldiers from Israel to march with your soldiers, because Yahweh does not help the people of the tribe of Ephraim or from [anywhere else in] Israel.

Nguni't naparoon ang isang lalake ng Dios sa kaniya, na nagsasabi, Oh hari, huwag mong pasamahin sa iyo ang hukbo ng Israel; sapagka't ang Panginoon ay hindi sumasa Israel, sa makatuwid baga'y sa lahat ng mga anak ni Ephraim.

8 Even if your soldiers go and fight courageously in battles, God will cause your enemies to defeat you; do not forget that God has the power to help armies or to cause them to be defeated.”

Nguni't kung ikaw ay yayaon, gumawa kang may katapangan, magpakalakas ka sa pakikipagbaka: ibubuwal ka ng Dios sa harap ng kaaway: sapagka't ang Dios ay may kapangyarihang tumulong at magbuwal.

9 Amaziah asked that prophet, “If I do that, what about the huge amount of silver that I paid to hire those soldiers from Israel?” The prophet replied, “Yahweh is able to pay you back more money than you paid [to hire those soldiers].”

At sinabi ni Amasias sa lalake ng Dios, Nguni't anong aming gagawin sa isang daang talento na aking ibinigay sa hukbo ng Israel? At ang lalake ng Dios ay sumagot: Ang Panginoon ay makapagbibigay sa iyo ng mahigit kay sa rito.

10 So Amaziah told those soldiers from Israel to return home. They left to go home, but they were very angry with the king of Judah [for not allowing them to stay and fight].

Nang magkagayo'y inihiwalay sila ni Amasias, sa makatuwid baga'y ang hukbo na paparoon sa kaniya na mula sa Ephraim, upang umuwi uli: kaya't ang kanilang galit ay totoong nagalab laban sa Juda, at sila'y nagsiuwi na may malaking galit.

11 Then Amaziah became brave, and he led his army to the Salt Valley. There they killed 10,000 men from the Edom people-group.

At si Amasias ay tumapang, at inilabas ang kaniyang bayan, at naparoon sa Libis ng Asin, at sumakit sa mga anak ni Scir ng sangpung libo.

12 The army of Judah also captured 10,000 others, and took them to the top of a cliff and threw them all down over the cliff, with the result that their corpses were all smashed to pieces.

At sangpung libo ang dinala ng mga anak ni Juda na buhay, at dinala sila sa taluktok ng burol at inihagis sila mula sa taluktok ng burol na anopa't silang lahat ay nagkawaraywaray.

13 While that was happening, the soldiers from Israel whom Amaziah had sent home after not allowing them to fight along with his soldiers, raided cities and towns in Judea, from Samaria [city] to Beth-Horon [town]. They killed 3,000 people and took away a great amount of valuable things.

Nguni't ang mga lalake ng hukbo na ipinabalik ni Amasias, upang sila'y huwag magsisunod sa kaniya sa pakikipagbaka, ay nagsidaluhong sa mga bayan ng Juda, mula sa Samaria hanggang sa Bet-horon, at nanakit sa kanila ng tatlong libo, at nagsikuha ng maraming samsam.

14 When Amaziah returned [to Jerusalem] after his army had slaughtered the soldiers from Edom, he brought the idols that were worshiped by the people of Edom. He set them up to be his own gods. Then he bowed down to [worship] them and offered sacrifices to them.

Nangyari nga, pagkatapos na si Amasias ay manggaling na mula sa pagpatay sa mga Idumio na kaniyang dinala ang mga dios ng mga anak ni Seir, at inilagay na maging kaniyang mga dios, at yumukod sa harap ng mga yaon, at nagsunog ng kamangyan sa mga yaon.

15 Because of that, Yahweh was very angry with Amaziah. He sent a prophet to him, who said, “Why do you worship these foreign gods that were not even able to save their own people when your army attacked them?”

Kaya't ang galit ng Panginoon ay nagalab laban kay Amasias, at siya'y nagsugo sa kaniya ng isang propeta, na sinabi sa kaniya, Bakit mo hinanap ang dios ng bayan na hindi nakapagligtas ng kanilang sariling bayan sa iyong kamay?

16 While he was still speaking, the king said to him, “We certainly did not appoint you to be one of my advisors. So stop [talking]! If you say anything more, [I will tell my soldiers to] kill you!” So the prophet said, “I know that God has determined to get rid of you, because you have [begun to] worship idols, and have not heeded my advice.” Then the prophet said nothing more.

At nangyari, habang siya'y nakikipagusap sa kaniya, na sinabi ng hari sa kaniya, Ginawa ka ba naming tagapayo ng hari? umurong ka; bakit ka sasaktan? Nang magkagayo'y umurong ang propeta, at nagsabi, Talastas ko na pinasiyahan ng Dios na patayin ka, sapagka't iyong ginawa ito, at hindi mo dininig ang aking payo.

17 Some time later Amaziah, the king of Judah, consulted his advisors. Then he sent a message to Jehoash, the king of Israel. He wrote, “Come here and let’s talk together.”

Nang magkagayo'y kumuhang payo si Amasias na hari sa Juda, at nagsugo kay Joas na anak ni Joachaz na anak ni Jehu, na hari sa Israel, na nagsabi, Halika, tayo'y magtitigan.

18 But Jehoash replied to King Amaziah, “One time a thistle growing [in the mountains] in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar tree saying, ‘Let your daughter marry my son.’ But a wild animal in Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle under its feet.

At si Joas na hari sa Israel ay nagsugo kay Amasias na hari sa Juda, na nagsasabi, Ang dawag na nasa Libano, ay nagsugo sa sedro na nasa Libano, na nagsasabi, Ibigay mong asawa ang iyong anak na babae sa aking anak: at nagdaan ang mabangis na hayop na nasa Libano, at niyapakan ang dawag.

19 [The meaning of what I am saying is that] you are saying to yourself that your army has defeated the army of Edom, so you have become very proud. But you should stay at your home. It would not be good for you to cause trouble, which would result in you and your kingdom of Judah being destroyed.”

Ikaw ay nagsasabi, Narito, iyong sinaktan ang Edom; at itinaas ka ng iyong puso upang magmalaki: tumahan ka ngayon sa bahay; bakit ibig mong makialam sa iyong ikapapahamak, upang ikaw ay mabuwal, ikaw, at ang Juda na kasama mo?

20 But Amaziah refused to heed Jehoash’s message. That happened because God wanted Jehoash’s army to defeat them, because they were worshiping the gods of Edom.

Nguni't hindi dininig ni Amasias; sapagka't sa Dios, upang sila'y mabigay sa kamay ng kanilang mga kaaway, sapagka't hinanap nila ang mga dios ng Edom.

21 So Jehoash’s army attacked. Their two armies faced each other at Beth-Shemesh [city] in Judah.

Sa gayo'y umahon si Joas na hari sa Israel; at siya at si Amasias na hari sa Juda ay nagtitigan sa Beth-semes, na ukol sa Juda.

22 The army of Judah was badly defeated by the army of Israel, and all the soldiers of Judah fled to their homes.

At ang Juda ay nalagay sa kasamasamaan sa harap ng Israel; at sila'y nagsitakas bawa't isa sa kanikaniyang tolda.

23 King Jehoash’s army also captured King Amaziah there. Then he brought Amaziah to Jerusalem, and his soldiers tore down the wall [that was around the city], from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate. That was a section that was about 600 feet long.

At kinuha ni Joas na hari sa Israel si Amasias na hari sa Juda, na anak ni Joas, na anak ni Joachaz, sa Beth-semes, at dinala siya sa Jerusalem, at ibinagsak ang kuta ng Jerusalem mula sa pintuang-bayan ng Ephraim hanggang sa pintuang-bayan ng sulok, na apat na raang siko.

24 His soldiers also carried away the gold and silver and other valuable furnishings from the temple which the descendants of Obed-Edom had previously been guarding. They also took away the valuable things in the palace, and they took to Samaria some prisoners whom they had captured.

At kinuha niya ang lahat na ginto at pilak, at lahat na sisidlan na nasumpungan sa bahay ng Dios na kay Obed-edom; at ang mga kayamanan ng bahay ng hari, pati ng mga sanglang tao, at bumalik sa Samaria.

25 King Jehoash of Israel died, and King Amaziah of Judah lived for 15 years after that.

At si Amasias na anak ni Joas na hari sa Juda ay nabuhay pagkamatay ni Joas na anak ni Joachaz na hari sa Israel na labing limang taon.

26 An account of all the other things that Amaziah did while he was the king [of Judah] is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah and Israel’.

Ang iba nga sa mga gawa ni Amasias, na una at huli, narito, di ba nangasusulat sa aklat ng mga hari sa Juda at sa Israel?

27 From the time that Amaziah started to disobey Yahweh, some men in Jerusalem planned to kill him. He was able to escape to Lachish [city], but those who wanted to kill him sent another group of people to Lachish and killed him there.

Mula sa panahon nga na humiwalay si Amasias sa pagsunod sa Panginoon ay nagsipagbanta sila laban sa kaniya sa Jerusalem; at siya'y tumakas sa Lachis: nguni't pinasundan nila siya sa Lachis, at pinatay siya roon.

28 They put his corpse on a horse and brought it back to Jerusalem and buried it where his ancestors [had been buried] in the part of Jerusalem called ‘The City of David’.

At dinala siya na nakapatong sa mga kabayo, at inilibing siya na kasama ng kaniyang mga magulang sa bayan ng Juda.
