1 In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, began Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, to reign.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
3 And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, yet not like David his father: he did according to all that Joash his father had done.
4 Only, the high places were not removed: the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
5 And it came to pass when the kingdom was established in his hand, that he slew his servants who had smitten the king his father.
6 But the children of those that smote {him} he did not put to death; according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein Jehovah commanded saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
7 He smote of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and took Sela in the war, and called the name of it Joktheel to this day.
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.
9 And Jehoash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thorn-bush that is in Lebanon sent to the cedar that is in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son as wife; and there passed by the wild beast that is in Lebanon, and trode down the thorn-bush.
10 Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thy heart has lifted thee up: boast thyself, and abide at home; for why shouldest thou contend with misfortune, that thou shouldest fall, thou, and Judah with thee?
11 But Amaziah would not hear. And Jehoash king of Israel went up; and they looked one another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Beth-shemesh, which is in Judah.
12 And Judah was routed before Israel; and they fled every man to his tent.
13 And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner-gate, four hundred cubits.
14 And he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king's house, and hostages, and returned to Samaria.
15 And the rest of the acts of Jehoash, what he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
16 And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.
17 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years.
18 And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
19 And they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish; and they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there.
20 And they brought him on horses, and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers, in the city of David.
21 And all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.
22 It was he that built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after the king slept with his fathers.
23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, began to reign in Samaria, for forty-one years.
24 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah: he departed not from any of the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
25 He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath as far as the sea of the plain, according to the word of Jehovah the God of Israel, which he had spoken through his servant Jonah the prophet, the son of Amittai, who was of Gath-Hepher.
26 For Jehovah saw that the affliction of Israel was very bitter; and that there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel.
27 And Jehovah had not said that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the heavens; and he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
28 And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered for Israel that {which had belonged} to Judah in Damascus and in Hamath, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his stead.
1 No te rua o nga tau o Ioaha tama a Iehoahata kingi o Iharaira i kingi ai a Amatia tama a Ioaha kingi o Hura.
2 E rua tekau ma rima ona tau i a ia ka kingi nei, a e rua tekau ma iwa nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. Ko te ingoa hoki o tona whaea ko Iehoarana, no Hiruharama.
3 A he tika tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, otiia kihai i rite ki ta tona tupuna, ki ta Rawiri. Rite tonu tana mahi ki nga mea katoa i mea ai tona papa a Ioaha.
4 Ko nga wahi tiketike ia kahore i whakakahoretia: i patu whakahere tonu ano te iwi, i tahu whakakakara ki nga wahi tiketike.
5 A, no te unga o te kingitanga ki tona ringa, ka patua e ia ana tangata, nana ra i patu te kingi, tona papa.
6 Ko nga tamariki ia a nga kaikohuru kihai i whakamatea e ia, kia rite ai ki te mea i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o te ture a Mohi, ki ta Ihowa hoki i whakahau ai, i ki ai, Kaua e whakamatea nga matua mo ta nga tamariki, kaua ano hoki e whakamatea nga tamariki mo ta nga matua; engari mate iho tenei, tenei, mo tona hara ake.
7 I patua e ia o nga Eromi ki te Raorao Tote tekau nga mano, a riro ana i a ia a Hera i te whawhai, a huaina iho e ia te ingoa ko Iokoteere, e mau nei a taea noatia tenei ra.
8 Katahi a Amatia ka unga tangata ki a Iehoaha tama a Iehoahata tama a Iehu kingi o Iharaira, ka mea, Haere mai, taua ka titiro ki a taua.
9 Na ka unga tangata a Iehoaha kingi o Iharaira ki a Amatia kingi o Hura, hei mea, I unga tangata te tataramoa i Repanona ki te hita i Repanona, i mea, Homai tau tamahine hei wahine ma taku tama. Na, ko te haerenga atu o tetahi kararehe o te parae i Repanona, takahia iho e ia taua tataramoa.
10 He tika i patua e koe a Eroma, a hikitia ana koe e tou ngakau: ko tena hei whakapehapeha mau, ka noho i tou whare. He aha koe ka whakapataritari ai, hei kino ano mou, e hinga ai koe, a koe me Hura?
11 Otiia kihai a Amatia i rongo. Na haere ana a Iehoaha kingi o Iharaira, a titiro ana raua ko Amatia kingi o Hura ki a raua ki Petehemehe o Hura.
12 Na ka patua a Hura i te aroaro o Iharaira, a rere ana ki tona teneti, ki tona teneti.
13 Na ka hopukia a Amatia kingi o Hura tama a Iehoaha, tama a Ahatia, e Iehoaha kingi o Iharaira ki Petehemehe. Na ka haere tera ki Hiruharama, wahia ana e ia te taiepa o Hiruharama i te kuwaha o Eparaima tae noa ki te kuwaha o te koki, e wha rau n ga whatianga.
14 Tangohia ake hoki e ia te koura katoa me te hiriwa, me nga oko katoa i kitea ki te whare o Ihowa, ki nga taonga o te whare o te kingi, me etahi tangata hei taumau i te ata noho, a hoki ana ki Hamaria.
15 Na, ko era atu meatanga i mea ai a Iehoaha me ana mahi toa, me tana whawhai ki a Amatia kingi o Hura, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira?
16 Na ka moe a Iehoaha ki ona matua, a tanumia ana ki Hamaria ki nga kingi o Iharaira; a ko tana tama, ko Ieropoama te kingi i muri i a ia.
17 A kotahi tekau ma rima nga tau i ora ai a Amatia tama a Ioaha kingi o Hura i muri i te matenga o Iehoaha tama a Iehoahata kingi o Iharaira.
18 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Amatia, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?
19 Na ka whakatupu ratou i te he mona ki Hiruharama; a rere ana ia ki Rakihi: otiia i tonoa e ratou he tangata ki te whai i a ia ki Rakihi, a patua iho ia ki reira.
20 Na mauria ana ia i runga hoiho, a tanumia ana ki Hiruharama ki ona matua ki te pa o Rawiri.
21 Na ka mau te iwi katoa o Hura ki a Ataria, tekau ma ono ona tau, a meinga ana ia e ratou hei kingi i muri i tona papa, i a Amatia.
22 Nana Erata i hanga, i whakahoki ano ki a Hura, i muri iho ka moe te kingi ki ona matua.
23 No te tekau ma rima o nga tau o Amatia tama a Ioaha kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Ieropoama tama a Ioaha kingi o Iharaira ki Hamaria, e wha tekau ma tahi nga tau i kingi ai ia.
24 A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa: kihai i mahue i a ia tetahi hara o Ieropoama tama a Nepata i hara ai a Iharaira.
25 Nana i whakahoki te rohe o Iharaira, i te haerenga atu ki Hamata a tae noa ki te moana o te Arapaha; i rite ai te kupu a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, ara ta tana pononga, ta Hona poropiti tama a Amitai o Katahewhere i korero ai.
26 I kite hoki a Ihowa i te tukinotanga o Iharaira, he kino rawa; kihai tetahi i tutakina ki roto, i mahue noa atu ranei, kahore hoki he kaiwhakaora mo Iharaira.
27 Kihai hoki a Ihowa i ki kia horoia atu te ingoa o Iharaira i raro i te rangi: engari i meinga e ia kia whakaorangia ratou e te ringa o Ieropoama tama a Ioaha.
28 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Ieropoama me ana mahi katoa, me ana mahi toa, ana whawhai, tana whakahokinga i Ramahiku, i Hamata, no Hura ra i mua, ki a Iharaira, kihai ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira?
29 Na ka moe a Ieropoama ki ona matua, ki nga kingi o Iharaira; a ko tana tama, ko Hakaraia te kingi i muri i a ia.
