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.
1 In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel began Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah to reign. 2 He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem. 3 And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, yet not like David his father: he did according to all that Joash his father had done. 4 Howbeit the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places. 5 And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, that he slew his servants who had slain the king his father: 6 but the children of the murderers he put not to death; according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as Jehovah commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin. 7 He slew of Edom in the Valley of Salt ten thousand, and took Sela by war, and called the name of it Joktheel, unto 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 the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trod down the thistle. 10 Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thy heart hath lifted thee up: glory thereof, and abide at home; for why shouldest thou meddle to thy hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
11 But Amaziah would not hear. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah. 12 And Judah was put to the worse 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 the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubits. 14 And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
15 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which 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 Now 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: but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there. 20 And they brought him upon 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 in the room of his father Amaziah. 22 He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that 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, and reigned forty and one years. 24 And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin. 25 He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath unto the sea of the Arabah, according to the word of Jehovah, the God of Israel, which he spake by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath-hepher. 26 For Jehovah saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter; for there was none shut up nor left at large, neither was there any helper for Israel. 27 And Jehovah said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven; but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his stead.
