¹Amaziah 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.

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 what was right in the sight of Jehovah, yet not with a perfect heart.

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

³And it came to pass when the kingdom was established unto him, that he killed his servants who had smitten the king his father.

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

⁴But their children he did not put to death, but [did] according to that which is written in the law in the book of Moses, wherein Jehovah commanded saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, nor 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.

⁵And Amaziah gathered Judah together and arranged them according to the fathers' houses, according to the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, throughout Judah and Benjamin; and he numbered them from twenty years old and upwards, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able for military service, that could handle spear and target.

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 a hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for a 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 host of Israel go with thee; for Jehovah is not with Israel, [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 will make thee fall before the enemy, for there is with God 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 is to be done for the hundred talents which I have given to the troop of Israel? And the man of God said, Jehovah 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, -- the troop that was come to him out of Ephraim, -- to go home again. And their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce 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.

¹¹But 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 the children of Judah took ten thousand captive, alive, and brought them to the top of the cliff, and cast them down from the top of the cliff, so 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 those of the troop that Amaziah had sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah from Samaria as far as Beth-horon, 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.

¹⁴And it came to pass after 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 himself down before them, and burned incense to 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.

¹⁵And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent to him a prophet, who said to him, Why dost thou seek after the gods of a people who have not delivered their own people out of thy 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 [Amaziah] said to him, Hast thou been made the king's counsellor? Forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbore, and said, I know that God has determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened to 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.

¹⁷And Amaziah king of Judah took counsel, and sent to Joash the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look 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 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.

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 thinkest, Lo, thou hast smitten Edom; and thy heart has lifted thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou contend with misfortune, that thou shouldest fall, 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 was of God, that he might deliver them into [the enemy's] hand, because they had 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.

²¹And Joash 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.

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 routed 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 king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and he broke 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 Obed-Edom, and the treasures of the king's house, and hostages, 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.

²⁶And 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?

²⁷And from the time that Amaziah turned aside from following Jehovah, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish; and they sent after him to Lachish, 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 on 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.
