2 Kings 14
1 After Jehoash had been ruling Israel for almost two years, Joash’s son Amaziah became the king of Judah.
Amy taom-paha-roe’ Iehoase, ana’ Iehoakaze mpanjaka’ Israeley, ty niorota’ i Amatsià ana’ Ioase mpanjaka’ Iehodà nifehe.
2 He was 25 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 29 years. His mother was Jehoaddin; she was from Jerusalem.
Roapolo taoñe lime amby re te niorotse nifehe, le nifeleke roapolo taoñe sive amby e Ierosalaime ao. Iehoadinee nte-Ierosalaime, ty tahinan-drene’e.
3 Amaziah did many things that pleased Yahweh, but he did not do as many things that pleased Yahweh as King David had done. He did some of the good things that his father Joash had done.
Nanao ty hiti’e am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà re, fe tsy nanahake i Davide rae’e fa hambañe an-tsatan-drae’e Ioase ty fitoloña’e.
4 But, [like his father, ] he did not tear down the places for worshipping Yahweh at pagan shrines. The people continued to burn incense [to honor Yahweh] on those hills [instead of in Jerusalem, the place that Yahweh had appointed].
Mboe tsy nafaha’e añe o toets’ aboo, mbe nanao soroñe naho nañoro tsotse amo toets-aboo avao ondatio.
5 As soon as he was completely in control of his kingdom, he caused to be executed the officials who had murdered his father.
Ie vaho nioreñe am-pità’e i fifeheañey le zinevo’e i mpitoroñe nañoho-doza aman-drae’e mpanjaka rey;
6 But he did not execute their children. He obeyed what was written in the laws that God gave to Moses: “Parents must not be executed for [the crimes/sins committed by] their children, and children must not be executed for [crimes/sins committed by] their parents. People must be executed only for the sins that they themselves [have committed].”
fe tsy vinono’e o ana’ i mpamono reio ty amy sinokitse amy boke Hà’ i Mosey, ie nandilia’ Iehovày ty hoe: Tsy ho vonoeñe ty amo ana’eo o roaeo, naho tsy ho vonoeñe ty aman-droae’e o anakeo; fa sindre i hakeo’ey ty hamonoañe ondaty.
7 Amaziah’s soldiers killed 10,000 soldiers of the Edom people-group in the Salt Valley [south of the Dead Sea], and they captured Sela [city] and gave it a new name, Joktheel. That is still its name.
Nizevoña’e ty rai-ale’ i Edome am-bavatanen-tsira ao, le tinava’e añ’aly ty Selà, ze natao’e ty hoe Ioktile ampara henane.
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to King Jehoash of Israel, saying “Come here and let’s talk together.”
Nampihitrike ìrak’ amy Iehoase ana’ Iehoakaze, ana’ Ieho, mpanjaka’ Israele t’i Amatsià nanao ty hoe: Antao hifañisa-daharañe.
9 But King Jehoash replied to King Amaziah: “Once a thornbush growing [in the mountains] in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar tree, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son in order that he may marry her.’ But a wild animal in Lebanon passed by the thornbush and trampled it.
Aa le nampañitrik’ amy Amatsià mpanjaka’ Iehoda t’Iehoase mpanjaka’ Israele, ty hoe: Nampisangitrife’ i hisatse e Lebanone añey amy mendoraveñe e Lebanone añe ty hoe: Atoloro amy ana-dahikoy i anak’ ampela’oy ho vali’e; vaho niary eo o biby hako’ i Lebanoneo nandialia i hisatsey.
10 [The meaning of what I am saying is that] your army has defeated the army of Edom, so now you have become very proud. But you should be content with defeating the people of Edom, and allow your soldiers to stay at home. If you cause trouble [by fighting against] us, you will surely [RHQ] cause a disaster to happen to you and to your people.”
Toe zinevo’o ty Edome vaho nampitoabotse azo ty arofo’o; isengeo, fe mitoboha añ’akiba’o ao. Ino ty hitoloña’o ty raty hikorovoha’o, ihe naho Iehoda rekets’ ama’o?
11 But Amaziah refused to heed Jehoash’s message. So he marched with his army to fight against the Israeli army at Beth-Shemesh [city] in Judah.
Fe tsy nañaoñe t’i Amatsià. Aa le nionjomb’eo t’Iehoase mpanjaka’ Israele, le nifañisa-daharañe amy Amatsià e Betesemese e Iehoda ao.
12 The Israeli army defeated the army of Judah, and all the soldiers of Judah fled and ran back home.
Fe nikorovok’ añ’ atrefa’ Israele t’Iehoda vaho songa nitriban-day mb’an-kiboho’e mb’eo.
13 Jehoash’s army also captured King Amaziah there, and they also marched to Jerusalem and tore down the wall that was around the city, from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate. That was a section that was about (200 yards/180 meters) long.
Mbore tsinepa’ Iehoase mpanjaka’ Israele t’i Amatsià mpanjaka’ Iehoda, ana’ Iehoase, ana’ i Ahatsià, e Betesemese le nimb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo vaho rinotsa’e i kijoli’ Ierosalaimey boak’ an-dalambei’ i Efraime pak’ an-dalambein-kotsoke eo, efa-jato kiho.
14 Jehoash’s soldiers seized all the gold and silver that they found, and all the utensils that were in the temple, and all the valuable things that were in the palace, and took them to Samaria. They also took to Samaria some prisoners whom they had captured.
Le rinambe’e iaby ze volamena naho volafoty naho fànake nizoeñe añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà naho amy fañajàm-bara añ’ anjomba’ i mpanjakaiy naho o ana-dahi’eo ho àntoke vaho nimpoly mb’e Somerone mb’eo.
15 [If you want to know about] all the other things that Jehoash did when he was king, including when he [and his army] fought against [the army of] King Amaziah of Judah, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Aa naho o fitoloña’ Iehoase ila’eo, o fifanehafa’eo, ty haozara’e naho ty fialia’e amy Amatsià, mpanjaka’ Iehoda, tsy fa sinokitse amy bokem-pamoliliañe o mpanjaka’ Israeleoy hao?
16 Jehoash died [EUP], and he was buried in Samaria, where the other kings of Israel had been buried. Then his son Jeroboam became the king.
Nitrao-piròtse aman-droae’e t’Iehoase, le nalenteke e Somerone ao mindre amo mpanjaka’ Israeleo; le nandimbe aze nifehe t’Iarovame ana’e.
17 Amaziah, the king of Judah, lived for 15 more years after Jehoash, the king of Israel, died.
Mbe niveloñe folo taoñe lime amby nanonjohy ty fihomaha’ Iehoase ana’ Iehoakaze, mpanjaka’ Israele t’i Amatsià ana’ Ioase, mpanjaka’ Iehoda.
18 [If you want to know more about] everything else that Amaziah did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Le ty ila’ o fitoloña’ i Amatsiào, tsy fa sinokitse amy bokem-pamoliliañe o mpanjaka’ Iehodaoy hao?
19 Some people in Jerusalem plotted against Amaziah, so he fled to Lachish [city]. But they followed him there and killed him.
Nikililien-dre e Ierosalaime ao le nipolititse mb’e Lakise añe; f’ie nampañitrifeñe e Lakise añe vaho zinevo ao.
20 They took his corpse back to Jerusalem and buried it where his ancestors had been buried, in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’.
Nendese’ iereo an-tsoavala, le nalenteke e Ierosalaime aman-droae’e, an-drova’ i Davide ao.
21 Then all the people of Judah appointed Amaziah’s son Uzziah, when he was 16 years old, to be their king
Rinambe’ ze hene ondati’ Iehoda t’i Azarià ie nifolo-taoñ’ eneñ’ amby, ho mpanjaka handimbe i Amatsià rae’e.
22 After his father died, Uzziah’s workers captured Elath [city], and it came under the control of Judah again.
Namboare’e t’i Elate naho nahere’e am’Iehoda vaho nirotse aman-droae’e ao i mpanjakay.
23 When Amaziah had been ruling Judah for almost 15 years, Jeroboam became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for 41 years.
Ie amy taom-paha folo-lime ambi’ i Amatsià ana’ Ioase mpanjaka’ Iehodà le niorotse nifehe e Somerone ao t’Iarovame ana’ Ioase mpanjaka’ Israele vaho nifeleke efa-polo taoñe raik’ amby.
24 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did not stop committing the same kind of sins that Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, committed, sins which led the Israeli people to sin also.
Fe nanao haratiañe ampivazohoa’ Iehovà, tsy nisitaha’e o fonga hakeo Iarovame ana’ i Nebate, nampanaña’e tahiñe Israeleo.
25 His soldiers conquered again some of the territory that had previously belonged to Israel, from Hamath [city] in the north to the Dead Sea in the south. That is what Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis worshiped, promised the prophet Jonah, the son of Amittai, from Gath-Hepher [town], would happen.
Nahere’e ty efe-tane’ Israele boak’ amy fimoahañe e Kamatey pak’an-dria’ i Arabày ty amy tsara’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, nitsarae’e am-pità’ Ionà mpitoro’e, ana’ i Amitay, mpitoky, nte-Gatakeferey.
26 That happened because Yahweh saw that [the Israelis’ enemies were causing] the Israelis [to] suffer very much. And there was absolutely no one [IDM] who would help them.
Amy te nivazoho’ Iehovà ty hasotria’ Israele, t’ie vata’e nafaitse; fa tsy eo ty nagabeñe ndra ty nadoñe hidada, ndra iaia ty hañolotse Israele;
27 But Yahweh said that he would not destroy Israel completely, so he enabled King Jeroboam to rescue them.
le tsy tsinara’ Iehovà ty hamaopaohañe ty tahina’ Israele ambanen-dikerañe ao; f’ie rinomba’e am-pità’ Iarovame, ana’ Ioase.
28 [If you want to know more about] everything else that Jeroboam did, [about] his fighting courageously in battles, and [about] his [enabling the Israelis to] capture again Damascus and Hamath [cities], they are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Aa naho o fitoloña’ Iarovame ila’eo, ze he’e nanoe’e, naho i haozara’ey, o fialia’eo naho ty nampibaliha’e am’ Iehodà ho a Israele t’i Damesèke vaho i Kamate; tsy fa sinokitse amy bokem-pamoliliañe o mpanjaka’ Israeleoy hao?
29 Jeroboam died [EUP], [and was buried] where the other kings of Israel [were buried], and his son Zechariah became the king.
Nirotse aman-droae’e mpanjaka’ Israeleo t’Iarovame, vaho nandimbe aze nifehe t’i Zekarià, ana’e.
