2 Kings 14
1 After Jehoash had been ruling Israel for almost two years, Joash’s son Amaziah became the king of Judah.
Tamin’ ny taona faharoa nanjakan’ i Joasy, zanak’ i Joahaza, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, no vao nanjakan’ i Amazia, zanak’ i Joasy, mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
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.
Dimy amby roa-polo taona izy, fony vao nanjaka, ary sivy amby roa-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Joadana, avy any Jerosalema.
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.
Ary nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, nefa tsy dia tahaka an’ i Davida rainy; fa tahaka izay rehetra nataon’ i Joasy rainy ihany no nataony.
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].
Kanefa ny fitoerana avo tsy mba noravana; fa mbola namono zavatra hatao fanatitra sady nandoro ditin-kazo manitra teny amin’ ny fitoerana avo ihany ny olona.
5 As soon as he was completely in control of his kingdom, he caused to be executed the officials who had murdered his father.
Ary nony tafapetraka tsara teo an-tànany ny fanjakany, dia novonoiny ireo mpanompony izay namono ny mpanjaka rainy.
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].”
Fa ny zanak’ ireo namono kosa dia tsy mba novonoiny, fa nataony araka izay voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny lalàn’ i Mosesy, izay nandidian’ i Jehovah hoe: Ny ray tsy hatao maty amin’ ny ataon’ ny zanany, ary ny zanaka tsy hatao maty amin’ ny ataon’ ny rainy; fa samy hatao maty amin’ ny fahotany avy ny olona.
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.
Izy no nahafaty ny Edomita iray alina tao amin’ ny Lohasahan-tsira sady nahafaka an’ i Sela tamin’ ny ady ary nanao azy hoe Joktela, izay mbola anarany mandraka androany.
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to King Jehoash of Israel, saying “Come here and let’s talk together.”
Tamin’ izany Amazia dia naniraka olona tany amin’ i Joasy, zanak’ i Joahaza, zanak’ i Jeho, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, nanao hoe: Avia, aoka isika hihaona.
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.
Fa Joasy mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, naniraka tany amin’ i Amazia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, nanao hoe: Ny tsilo izay tany Libanona naniraka tamin’ ny hazo sedera izay tany Libanona nanao hoe: Omeo ny zanako-lahy ny zanakao-vavy ho vadiny; ary dia namaky teo ny bibi-dia tany Libanona ka nanosihosy ny tsilo.
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.”
Efa namely an’ i Edoma tokoa ianao, ka dia nirehareha ny fonao; aoka hahafa-po anao ary izany voninahitra izany, ka mitoera ao an-tranonao ihany; fa nahoana no hihaika ny loza hahalavo ny tenanao mbamin’ ny Joda koa ianao?
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.
Fa tsy nanaiky Amazia. Koa dia niakatra Joasy, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely; ary izy sy Amazia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, nihaona tany Beti-semesy izay any Joda.
12 The Israeli army defeated the army of Judah, and all the soldiers of Judah fled and ran back home.
Dia resy teo anoloan’ ny Isiraely ny Joda, ka samy nandositra ho any amin’ ny lainy avy izy.
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.
Ary Amazia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, zanak’ i Joasy, zanak’ i Ahazia, nosamborin’ i Joasy, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely tany Beti-semesy; ary dia nankany Jerosalema Joasy, ka nandravany efa-jato hakiho ny màndany hatramin’ ny vavahadin’ i Efraima ka hatramin’ ny vavahady an-jorony.
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.
Ary nalainy avokoa ny volamena sy ny volafotsy rehetra ary ny fanaka rehetra izay hita tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah sy tamin’ ny rakitry ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka mbamin’ ny olona natao antoka, ka dia niverina ho any Samaria izy.
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’.
Ary ny tantaran’ i Joasy sisa mbamin’ ny heriny sy ny niadiany tamin’ i Amazia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely va izany?
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.
Ary Joasy lasa nodimandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tany Samaria tao amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izy; ary Jeroboama zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
17 Amaziah, the king of Judah, lived for 15 more years after Jehoash, the king of Israel, died.
Ary ny andro niainan’ i Amazia, zanak’ i Joasy, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, taorian’ ny nahafatesan’ i Joasy, zanak’ i Joahada, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, dia dimy ambin’ ny folo taona.
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’.
Ary ny tantaran’ i Amazia sisa, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda va izany?
19 Some people in Jerusalem plotted against Amaziah, so he fled to Lachish [city]. But they followed him there and killed him.
Ary ny olona niodina taminy tany Jerosalema, dia nandositra nankany Lakisy izy; fa ny olona nampanaraka namono azy tany.
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’.
Ary nasampiny tamin’ ny soavaly ny fatiny, dia nalevina tany Jerosalema tao amin’ ny razany tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida izy.
21 Then all the people of Judah appointed Amaziah’s son Uzziah, when he was 16 years old, to be their king
Ary ny vahoaka rehetra tamin’ ny Joda naka an’ i Azaria, izay vao enina ambin’ ny folo taona tamin’ izay, ka nampanjaka azy handimby an’ i Amazia rainy.
22 After his father died, Uzziah’s workers captured Elath [city], and it came under the control of Judah again.
Izy no hanamboatra an’ i Elota ka nampody azy ho an’ ny Joda, rehefa lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany ny mpanjaka.
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.
Tamin’ ny taona fahadimy ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Amazia, zanak’ i Joasy, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, no vao nanjakan’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Joasy, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, tany Samaria, ary nanjaka iraika amby efa-polo taona izy.
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.
Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, fa tsy niala tamin’ ny fahotana rehetra izay nataon’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata, sady nampanotany ny Isiraely.
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.
Izy no nampody ny sisin-tanin’ ny Isiraely ka azony hatrany akaikin’ i Hamata ka hatramin’ ny ranomasin’ ny tani-hay, araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, izay nampilazainy ny mpanompony, dia Jona, zanak’ i Amitahy, mpaminany tany Gata-hefera.
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.
Fa efa hitan’ i Jehovah fa nangidy indrindra ny fahorian’ ny Isiraely; ary tsy nisy sisa, na ny voahazona na ny afaka, sady tsy nisy namonjy ny Isiraely akory.
27 But Yahweh said that he would not destroy Israel completely, so he enabled King Jeroboam to rescue them.
Fa tsy mba nolazain’ i Jehovah fa hovonoiny tsy ho eo ambanin’ ny lanitra ny anaran’ ny Isiraely; fa ny tànan’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Joasy, no nentiny namonjy azy.
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’.
Ary ny tantaran’ i Jeroboama sisa mbamin’ izay nataony sy ny hery izay niadiany ary ny nampodiany an’ i Damaskosy sy Hamata, izay an’ ny Joda fahiny, ho an’ ny Isiraely, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely va izany?
29 Jeroboam died [EUP], [and was buried] where the other kings of Israel [were buried], and his son Zechariah became the king.
Ary Jeroboama lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia tao amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely; ary Zakaria zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
