¹Amasja oli kuningaks saades kakskümmend viis aastat vana ja ta valitses Jeruusalemmas kakskümmend üheksa aastat; ta ema nimi oli Jooaddan, Jeruusalemmast.

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.

²Tema tegi, mis õige oli Issanda silmis, aga mitte siirast südamest.

²He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, but not with a perfect heart.

³Kui tal oli kuningriik kindlalt käes, siis ta tappis ära oma sulased, kes olid maha löönud kuninga, tema isa.

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

⁴Aga nende lapsi ta ei surmanud, sest nõnda on kirjutatud Seaduses, Moosese raamatus, milles Issand on käskinud ja öelnud: 'Isad ei pea surema laste pärast ja lapsed ei pea surema isade pärast, vaid igaüks surgu oma patu pärast!'

⁴But he didn’t put their children to death, but did according to that which is written in the law in the book of Moses, as Yahweh 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.”

⁵Ja Amasja kogus kokku Juuda mehed ning seadis nad perekondade kaupa tuhande- ja sajapealikute juhatuse alla, kogu Juuda ja Benjamini; ja ta luges nad ära, kahekümneaastased ja üle selle, ja leidis neid olevat kolmsada tuhat valitud sõjakõlvulist meest, piigi- ja kilbikandjat.

⁵Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and ordered them according to their fathers’ houses, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, even all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upward, and found them three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go forth to war, who could handle spear and shield.

⁶Ja ta palkas Iisraelist sada tuhat vahvat võitlejat saja hõbetalendi eest.

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

⁷Aga üks jumalamees tuli tema juurde ja ütles: 'Kuningas! Iisraeli sõjavägi ei tohi minna koos sinuga, sest Issand ei ole Iisraeliga ega ühegi Efraimi lapsega.

⁷A man of God came to him, saying, “O king, don’t let the army of Israel go with you; for Yahweh is not with Israel, with all the children of Ephraim.

⁸Sest kui sa nõnda tugevdatult sõtta lähed, paneb Jumal sind komistama vaenlase ees; Jumalal on ju võimus aidata või panna komistama.'

⁸But if you will go, take action, be strong for the battle. God will overthrow you before the enemy; for God has power to help, and to overthrow.”

⁹Siis küsis Amasja jumalamehelt: 'Aga kuidas jääb selle saja talendiga, mis ma olen andnud Iisraeli väehulgale?' Ja jumalamees vastas: 'Issand võib sulle anda rohkem, kui see on!'

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

¹⁰Seepeale eraldas Amasja selle väehulga, kes Efraimist oli tulnud tema juurde, et see läheks koju. Siis süttis nende viha väga põlema Juuda vastu ja nad läksid tulise vihaga koju tagasi.

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

¹¹Aga Amasja võttis julguse ja viis oma rahva välja, läks Soolaorgu ja lõi seirlastest maha kümme tuhat.

¹¹Amaziah took courage, and led forth his people, and went to the Valley of Salt, and struck ten thousand of the children of Seir.

¹²Ja Juuda lapsed võtsid kümme tuhat elusalt vangi, viisid nad ühe kalju tippu ja paiskasid kaljutipust alla, nõnda et nad kõik kukkusid puruks.

¹²The children of Judah carry away ten thousand alive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and threw them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were broken in pieces.

¹³Aga väehulga mehed, keda Amasja oli tagasi saatnud, et nad ei tuleks sõtta koos temaga, tungisid Juuda linnadesse Samaariast kuni Beet-Hooronini ja lõid neist maha kolm tuhat ning riisusid palju saaki.

¹³But the men of the army whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell on the cities of Judah, from Samaria even to Beth Horon, and struck of them three thousand, and took much spoil.

¹⁴Ja seejärel, kui Amasja oli edomlasi löömast tagasi tulnud, tõi ta seirlaste jumalad ja pani need enesele jumalaiks, kummardas nende ees ja suitsutas neile.

¹⁴Now it happened, after that Amaziah had 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 to them.

¹⁵Siis Issanda viha süttis põlema Amasja vastu ja ta läkitas tema juurde prohveti, kes temale ütles: 'Mispärast sa otsid teise rahva jumalaid, kes ei suutnud päästa oma rahvast sinu käest?'

¹⁵Therefore the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent to him a prophet, who said to him, “Why have you sought after the gods of the people, which have not delivered their own people out of your hand?”

¹⁶Ja kui prohvet temale nõnda ütles, vastas Amasja temale: 'Kas me oleme pannud sinu kuningale nõuandjaks? Jäta järele! Miks peaks sind maha löödama?' Prohvet peatus ja ütles: 'Ma tean, et Jumal on võtnud nõuks sind hävitada, sellepärast et sa teed nõnda ega võta kuulda minu nõu.'

¹⁶It happened, as he talked with him, that the king said to him, “Have we made you one of the king’s counselors? Stop! Why should you be struck down?” Then the prophet stopped, and said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this, and have not listened to my counsel.”

¹⁷Ja Juuda kuningas Amasja pidas nõu ning läkitas ütlema Iisraeli kuningale Joasele, Jehu poja Jooahase pojale: 'Tule, vaadakem teineteisele näkku!'

¹⁷Then Amaziah king of Judah consulted his advisers, 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.”

¹⁸Aga Iisraeli kuningas Joas läkitas Juuda kuningale Amasjale vastuse: 'Liibanoni orjavits läkitas ütlema Liibanoni seedrile: Anna oma tütar naiseks mu pojale! Aga Liibanoni metsloomad läksid mööda ja tallasid orjavitsa ära.

¹⁸Joash 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 your daughter to my son as his wife; then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled down the thistle.

¹⁹Sa mõtled, vaata, et sa oled edomlased maha löönud ja seepärast ajab su süda sind püüdma au. Aga jää nüüd koju! Mispärast sa tikud õnnetusse, kus sa langed ise ja koos sinuga Juuda?'

¹⁹You say to yourself that you have struck Edom; and your heart lifts you up to boast. Now stay at home. Why should you meddle with trouble, that you should fall, even you, and Judah with you?’”

²⁰Aga Amasja ei võtnud kuulda, sest see tuli Jumalalt, et neid anda Joase kätte, sellepärast et nad olid otsinud Edomi jumalaid.

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

²¹Ja Iisraeli kuningas Joas tuli üles ja nad vaatasid teineteisele näkku, tema ja Juuda kuningas Amasja, Juudale kuuluvas Beet-Semesis.

²¹So Joash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.

²²Aga Juuda löödi maha Iisraeli ees ja igamees põgenes oma telki.

²²Judah was defeated by Israel; and they fled every man to his tent.

²³Ja Iisraeli kuningas Joas võttis kinni Juuda kuninga Amasja, Jooahase poja Joase poja, Beet-Semesis ja viis ta Jeruusalemma. Ta kiskus ka maha nelisada küünart Jeruusalemma müüri Efraimi väravast kuni Nurgaväravani.

²³Joash 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 broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

²⁴Ja ta võttis ära kõik kulla ja hõbeda, samuti kõik riistad, mis leidusid Jumala kojas Oobed-Edomi juures, ja kuningakoja varanduse, võttis pantvange ja läks tagasi Samaariasse.

²⁴He took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in God’s house with Obed-Edom, and the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.

²⁵Aga Juuda kuningas Amasja, Joase poeg, elas pärast Iisraeli kuninga Joase, Jooahase poja surma viisteist aastat.

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

²⁶Ja muud Amasja lood, varasemad ja hilisemad, vaata, eks need ole kirja pandud Juuda ja Iisraeli Kuningate raamatus?

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

²⁷Ja alates sellest ajast, kui Amasja taganes Issanda järelt, peeti Jeruusalemmas tema vastu vandenõu. Ta põgenes Laakisesse, aga nad läkitasid mehed Laakisesse temale järele ja surmasid ta seal.

²⁷Now from the time that Amaziah turned away from following Yahweh, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. He fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and killed him there.

²⁸Ta tõsteti hobuse selga ja maeti oma vanemate juurde Juuda linna.

²⁸They brought him on horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
