2 Dungkrhoekhaih 28
1 Ahaz loe siangpahrang ah oh tangsuek naah saning pumphaeto oh boeh, Jerusalem to saning hatlai tarukto thung uk. Anih loe ampa David baktiah, Angraeng mikhnukah katoeng hmuen to sah ai.
Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. And unlike David his father, he did not do what was right in the eyes of the LORD.
2 Anih loe Israel siangpahrangnawk caehhaih loklam to pazui moe, Baal bokhaih krangnawk to sak.
Instead, he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and even made cast images of the Baals.
3 Hinnom capa ih azawn ah hmuihoih to a thlaek moe, a caanawk to hmai hoiah a qoeng; Angraeng mah Israelnawk hmaa ah haek ih Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah sak ih panuet thok hmuen to a sak toeng.
Moreover, Ahaz burned incense in the Valley of Hinnom and sacrificed his sons in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
4 Angbawnhaihnawk to sak moe, hmuensang ih mae nui hoi aqam kahing thing tlim boih ah hmuihoih to a thlaek.
And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.
5 To pongah angmah ih Angraeng Sithaw mah Syria siangpahrang ban ah paek; Syria kaminawk mah anih to pazawk moe, paroeai kaminawk misong ah naeh o pacoengah, Damaska ah caeh o haih. Anih to Israel siangpahrang ban ah paek moe, anih hoi angmah ih paroeai kaminawk to hum pae.
So the LORD his God delivered Ahaz into the hand of the king of Aram, who attacked him and took many captives to Damascus. Ahaz was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who struck him with great force.
6 Judah mah angmacae ampanawk ih Angraeng Sithaw to pahnawt ving pongah, Ramaliah capa Israel siangpahrang Pekah mah Judah prae ah, nito thung thacak misatuh kaminawk sang cumvai, pumpaeto hum pae.
For in one day Pekah son of Remaliah killed 120,000 valiant men in Judah. This happened because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers.
7 Thacak Ephraim ih kami Zikri mah, siangpahrang capa Maaseiah, siangpahrang im ukkung Azrikam hoi siangpahrang taengah toksah kami Elkanah to hum.
Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the son of the king, Azrikam the governor of the palace, and Elkanah the second to the king.
8 Israel kaminawk mah doeh, angmacae ih nawkamyanawk, nongpatanawk, canu hoi capa sang cumvai hnetto naeh pae o ving; hmuenmae paroeai lak pae o moe, Samaria vangpui ah phawh o.
Then the Israelites took 200,000 captives from their kinsmen—women, sons, and daughters. They also carried off a great deal of plunder and brought it to Samaria.
9 Toe Angraerng ih tahmaa Obed, tiah kawk ih kami maeto oh; anih loe Samaria ah amlaem misatuh kaminawk hmaa ah caeh moe, nihcae khaeah, Nam panawk ih Angraeng Sithaw loe Judah kaminawk nuiah palungphui pongah, nangcae ban ah ang paek boeh; toe nihcae to khet kamcuk ai van pha khoek to ah na hum o.
But a prophet of the LORD named Oded was there, and he went out to meet the army that returned to Samaria. “Look,” he said to them, “because of His wrath against Judah, the LORD, the God of your fathers, has delivered them into your hand. But you have slaughtered them in a rage that reaches up to heaven.
10 Judah hoi Jerusalem ih nongpa nongpatanawk to vaihi tamna ah suek hanah na tim o bae vop; to tiah na sak o nahaeloe, na Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah zaehaih sak baktiah na om o mak ai maw?
And now you intend to reduce to slavery the men and women of Judah and Jerusalem. But are you not also guilty before the LORD your God?
11 Vaihi ka lok hae tahngai oh! Tamna ah na naeh o ih nam nawkamyanawk to amlaem o sak let ah, to tih ai nahaeloe Angraeng palungphuihaih nangcae khaeah pha moeng tih, tiah a naa.
Now therefore, listen to me and return the captives you took from your kinsmen, for the fierce anger of the LORD is upon you.”
12 To pacoengah Ephraim thung ih thoemto zaehoikung ah kaom, Johanan capa Azariah, Meshilemoth capa Berekiah, Shallum capa Jehizkiah hoi Hadlai capa Amasa mah misatukhaih ahmuen hoi angzo kaminawk to pakaa o.
Then some of the leaders of the Ephraimites —Azariah son of Jehohanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai—stood in opposition to those arriving from the war.
13 Nihcae mah, Misong ah naeh ih kaminawk to hae ah angzo o haih hmah; aicae loe Angraeng hmaa ah a zae o boeh; nangcae loe zaehaih hoi kasae thap aep hanah hae tiah poekhaih na tawnh o, aicae sakpazaehaih loe paroeai pop boeh; to pongah kanung parai palungphuihaih Israel nuiah phak boeh.
“You must not bring the captives here,” they said, “for you are proposing to bring guilt upon us from the LORD and to add to our sins and our guilt. For our guilt is great, and fierce anger is upon Israel.”
14 To pongah misatuh kaminawk mah naeh ih kaminawk hoi a lak pae o ih hmuenmaenawk to, zaekoikung hoi amkhueng kaminawk hmaa ah prawt o ah.
So the armed men left the captives and the plunder before the leaders and all the assembly.
15 Ahmin kawk ih kaminawk loe angthawk o moe, naeh ih kaminawk to kawk o; nihcae mah khukbuen tawn ai kaminawk to, a lak o ih khukbuen angkhuk o sak moe, khokpanai abuen o sak; caaknaek a paek o moe, thacak ai kaminawk to laa hrang pongah angthueng o sak; nihcae to angmacae nawkamyanawk ohhaih, ungsikung vangpui, tiah kawk ih Jeriko vangpui ah thak o pacoengah, Samaria ah amlaem o let.
Then the men who were designated by name arose, took charge of the captives, and provided from the plunder clothing for the naked. They clothed them, gave them sandals and food and drink, anointed their wounds, and put all the feeble on donkeys. So they brought them to Jericho, the City of Palms, to their brothers. Then they returned to Samaria.
16 To naah Ahaz siangpahrang mah Assyria siangpahrang khaeah abomhaih hnik hanah kami to patoeh.
At that time King Ahaz sent for help from the king of Assyria.
17 Edom kaminawk loe angzoh o moe, Judah kaminawk to tuk o; nihcae to naeh moe, misong ah caeh o haih boih.
The Edomites had again come and attacked Judah and carried away captives.
18 Philistinnawk mah aloih bang ih prae hoi Judah prae thung ih vangpuinawk to tuk o moe, Beth-Shemesh, Ajalon hoi Gederoth, Shoko, Timnah, Gimzo hoi a taeng ih vangtanawk to lak o.
The Philistines had also raided the cities of the foothills and the Negev of Judah, capturing and occupying Beth-shemesh, Aijalon, and Gederoth, as well as Soco, Timnah, and Gimzo with their villages.
19 Israel siangpahrang Ahaz pongah, Angraeng mah Judah to pakhrak tathuk; anih mah Judah prae to bangkrai ah suek moe, Angraeng hmaa ah zaehaih to sak.
For the LORD humbled Judah because Ahaz king of Israel had thrown off restraint in Judah and had been most unfaithful to the LORD.
20 Assyria siangpahrang Tilgath-Pilneser loe anih khaeah angzoh, toe thapaek ai ah, palung ni boengsak lat.
Then Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria came to Ahaz but afflicted him rather than strengthening him.
21 Angraeng im thung ih hmuen, siangpahrang imthung ih hmuen hoi angraengnawk khae ih hmuenmae to Ahaz mah lak moe, Assyria siangpahrang to paek, toe Assyria siangpahrang mah Ahaz to abom ai.
Although Ahaz had taken a portion from the house of the LORD, from the royal palace, and from the princes and had presented it to the king of Assyria, it did not help him.
22 Siangpahrang Ahaz loe to tiah raihaih tongh li naah, Angraeng hmaa ah zaehaih to sak aep aep.
In the time of his distress, King Ahaz became even more unfaithful to the LORD.
23 Anih bopkung Damaska ih sithawnawk khaeah angbawnhaih to a sak; Syria sithawnawk mah angmah ih siangpahrangnawk to abomh pongah kai tuk ang pazawk o: to sithawnawk khaeah angbawnhaih ka sak nahaeloe, kai doeh na bomh toeng tih, tiah a poek. Toe to tiah a sak pongah angmah hoi Israel kaminawk to amro o boih.
Since Damascus had defeated him, he sacrificed to their gods and said, “Because the gods of the kings of Aram have helped them, I will sacrifice to them that they may help me.” But these gods were the downfall of Ahaz and of all Israel.
24 Ahaz loe Sithaw imthung ih laom sabaenawk to ahmuen maeto ah nawnto tapop moe, pakhoih boih; Angraeng ih im thoknawk to khah boih; Jerusalem vangpui ih takii ah hmaicamnawk to a sak.
Then Ahaz gathered up the articles of the house of God, cut them into pieces, shut the doors of the house of the LORD, and set up altars of his own on every street corner in Jerusalem.
25 Kalah sithawnawk khaeah hmuihoih thlaek hanah Judah prae vangpui kruekah hmuensangnawk to a sak; to tiah anih mah angmacae ampanawk ih Angraeng Sithaw to palungphuisak.
In every city of Judah he built high places to offer incense to other gods, and so he provoked the LORD, the God of his fathers.
26 Siangpahrang ah oh nathung a sak ih hmuennawk boih hoi a caehhaih loklamnawk boih, takung hoi tadong khoek to, Judah hoi Israel siangpahrangnawk ih cabu thungah tarik o.
As for the rest of the acts of Ahaz and all his ways, from beginning to end, they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
27 Ahaz loe ampanawk khaeah anghak moe, Jerusalem vangpui ah aphum o; toe Israel siangpahrangnawk ih taprong ah aphum o ai; anih zuengah a capa Hezekiah mah prae to uk.
And Ahaz rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of Jerusalem, but he was not placed in the tombs of the kings of Israel. And his son Hezekiah reigned in his place.
