¹Amaziah 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 Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.

¹[Ny nanjakan'i Amazia] Dimy amby roa-polo taona Amazia, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary sivy amby roa-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Joadana, avy any Jerosalema.

²And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.

²Ary nanao izay mahitsy eo imason'i Jehovah izy, nefa tsy dia tamin'ny fony rehetra.

³Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.

³Ary nony tafapetraka tsara tamin'ny fanjakany izy, dia novonoiny ireo mpanompony izay namono ny mpanjaka rainy.

⁴But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.

⁴Nefa ny zanak'ireo namono dia tsy mba novonoiny, fa nataony araka izay voasoratra ao amin'ny bokin'ny lalàna. dia ao amin'ny bokin'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 ho faty amin'ny fahotany avy ny olona.

⁵Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield.

⁵Ary novorin'i Amazia ny Joda, ka nalahany araka ny fianakaviany avy, dia araka ny mpifehy arivo sy ny mpifehy zato avy amin'ny Joda sy ny Benjamina rehetra: dia nisainy ny hatramin'ny roa-polo taona no ho miakatra, ka olona telo hetsy voafantina no hitany, izay azo nalefa hanafika sady nahatan-defona sy ampinga lehibe.

⁶He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valor out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver.

⁶Ary nisy lehilahy mahery iray hetsy tamin'ny Isiraely nokaramainy talenta volafotsy zato.

⁷But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD is not with Israel, to wit, with all the children of Ephraim.

⁷Nefa nisy lehilahin'Andriamanitra tonga tao aminy ka nanao hoe: Ry mpanjaka, aza avela hanaraka anao ny miaramilan'ny Isiraely; fa tsy omban'i Jehovah ny Isiraely, dia ny taranak'i Efraima rehetra.

⁸But if thou wilt go, do it; be strong for the battle: God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath power to help, and to cast down.

⁸Fa mandehana ihany ianao, ka manaova, ary mahereza amin'ny ady; fa hataon'Andriamanitra lavo eo anoloan'ny fahavalo ianao; fa Andriamanitra no mahay mamonjy sy mampahalavo.

⁹And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, The LORD is able to give thee much more than this.

⁹Fa hoy Amazia tamin'ilay lehilahin'Andriamanitra: Ka hataontsika ahoana ny amin'ny talenta zato nomeko ny miaramilan'ny Isiraely? Asy hoy ilay lehilahin'Andriamanitra taminy: Jehovah mahay manome anao mihoatra lavitra noho izany.

¹⁰Then Amaziah separated them, to wit, the army that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in great anger.

¹⁰Dia navahan'i Amazia ireo miaramila tonga tao aminy avy tamin'ny Efraima ireo mba hody indray; ary nirehitra mafy ny fahatezeran'ireo tamin'ny Joda, dia lasa nody izy sady tezitra indrindra.

¹¹And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand.

¹¹Ary Amazia nitombo hery, dia nitarika ny vahoakany ka nankany amin'ny Lohasahan-tsira, ary nahafaty iray alina tamin'ny taranak'i Seira izy.

¹²And other ten thousand left alive did the children of Judah carry away captive, and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all were broken in pieces.

¹²Ary ny iray alina sisa nataon'ny taranak'i Joda sambo-belona, dia nentiny teo an-tampon'ny hantsam-bato ary navariny teo, ka montsamontsana izy rehetra.

¹³But the soldiers of the army which Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Bethhoron, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil.

¹³Fa ireo miaramila izay nampodin'i Amazia tsy hiara-manafika aminy dia nihahakahaka teny an-tanànan'ny Joda hatrany Samaria ka hatrany Beti-horona ka nahafaty olona telo arivo tany sady nahazo babo betsaka.

¹⁴Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them.

¹⁴Ary Amazia, nony niverina avy nanafika ny Edomita, dia nitondra ny andriamanitry ny taranak'i Seira ka nanangana azy ho andriamaniny; ary niankohoka teo anatrehany izy sady nandoro ditin-kazo manitra ho azy.

¹⁵Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand?

¹⁵Dia nirehitra tamin'Amazia ny fahatezeran'i Jehovah, ka naniraka mpaminany anankiray ho any aminy Izy hanontany azy, hoe: Nahoana ianao no mitady ny andriamanitry ny firenena, izay tsy naharo ny olony tamin'ny tananao aza?

¹⁶And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king's counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.

¹⁶Ary raha niteny taminy izy, dia novaliany hoe: Moa voatendrinay ho mpanolo-tsaina ny mpanjaka va Hianao? Aoka itsy ange, fandrao asian'ny olona ianao. Dia nitsahatra ilay mpaminany ka nanao hoe: Fantatro fa Andriamanitra mikasa hahafaty anao satria nanao izany ianao ka tsy nihaino ny anatro.

¹⁷Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us see one another in the face.

¹⁷Ary Amazia. mpanjakan'ny Joda, naka hevitra, dia naniraka tany amin'i Joasy, zanak'i Joahaza, zanak'i Jeho, mpanjakan'ny Isiraely, izy hanao hoe: Avia, aoka isika hihaona.

¹⁸And Joash 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 trode down the thistle.

¹⁸Fa 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 zanakolahy ny zanakaovavy ho vadiny; dia namaky teo ny bibi-dia tany Libanona ka nanosihosy ny tsilo.

¹⁹Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?

¹⁹Lazainao fa namely an'i Edoma ianao, ka dia nanesika anao hirehareha ny fonao; mitoera ihany ange ao an-tranonao, fa nahoana no hihaika ny loza hahalavo ny tenanao mbamin'ny Joda koa ianao?

²⁰But Amaziah would not hear; for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom.

²⁰Fa tsy nanaiky Amazia, satria avy tamin'Andriamanitra izany, mba hanolorany azy ho eo an-tànan'ny fahavalony noho ny nitadiavany ny andriamanitry ny Edomita.

²¹So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they saw one another in the face, both he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Bethshemesh, which belongeth to Judah.

²¹Ka dia niakatra Joasy, mpanjakan'ny Isiraely; ary izy sy Amazia, mpanjakan'ny Joda, nihaona tany Beti-semesy izay an'i Joda.

²²And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.

²²Dia resy teo anoloan'ny Isiraely ny Joda, ka samy nandositra ho any amin'ny lainy avy izy.

²³And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Bethshemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

²³Ary Amazia, mpanjakan'ny Joda, zanak'Joasy, zanak'i Joahaza, dia nosamborin'i Joasy, mpanjakan'ny Isiraely, tany Beti-semesy ka nentiny nankany Jerosalema; ary nandravan'i Joasy efa-jato hakiho ny mandan'i Jerosalema hatramin'ny vavahadin'i Efraima ka hatramin'ny vavahady anjorony.

²⁴And he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obededom, and the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.

²⁴Ary nalainy avokoa ny volamena sy ny volafotsy rehetra ary ny fanaka rehetra izay hita tao an-tranon'Andriamanitra tao amin'i Obed-edoma sy tamin'ny rakitry ny tranon'ny mpanjaka mbamin'ny olona natao antoka koa, ka dia niverina ho any Samaria izy.

²⁵And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.

²⁵Ary ny andro niainan'i Amazia zanak'i Joasy, mpanjakan'ny Joda, taorian'ny nahafatesan'i Joasy, zanak'i Joahaza, mpanjakan'ny Isiraely, dia dimy ambin'ny folo taona.

²⁶Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?

²⁶Ary ny tantaran'i Amazia sisa, na ny voalohany na ny farany, indro, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin'ny bokin'ny mpanjakan'ny Joda sy ny Isiraely va izany?

²⁷Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there.

²⁷Ary hatramin'ny andro nihemoran'i Amazia tsy nanaraka an'i Jehovah dia niodina taminy tany Jerosalema ny olona, ka dia nandositra nankany Lakisy izy; fa naniraka nanaraka azy tany ny olona ka namono azy tany.Ary nasampiny tamin'ny soavaly ny fatiny, dia naleviny tao amin'ny razany tao an-tanànan'ny Joda.

²⁸And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.

²⁸Ary nasampiny tamin'ny soavaly ny fatiny, dia naleviny tao amin'ny razany tao an-tanànan'ny Joda.
