and has made incense himself in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and burns his sons with fire according to the abominations of the nations that YHWH dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel,
4 Hmuensang ah khaw, som ah khaw, thing hing tom kah a hmuiah khaw a nawn tih a phum.

And his God YHWH gives him into the hand of the king of Aram, and they strike him, and take captive a great captivity from him, and bring [them] to Damascus, and he has also been given into the hand of the king of Israel, and he strikes him [with] a great striking.

And the sons of Israel take captive of their brothers: two hundred thousand wives, sons, and daughters; and they have also seized much spoil from them, and they bring in the spoil to Samaria.

And there has been a prophet of YHWH there (Oded [is] his name), and he goes out before the host that has come to Samaria, and says to them, “Behold, in the fury of YHWH, God of your fathers, against Judah, He has given them into your hand, and you slay among them in rage—it has come to the heavens;
10 Judah koca neh Jerusalem nang te salnu la, salpa la kang khoh eh a ti coeng. Nangmih kongah namah neh na taengkah khaw, na Pathen BOEIPA taengah dumlai moenih a?
and now you are saying to subdue sons of Judah and Jerusalem for menservants and for maidservants for yourselves; but are there not causes of guilt with you before your God YHWH?
11 Kai ol he hnatun lamtah na manuca taeng lamkah na sol tamna te mael laeh. BOEIPA kah thintoek thinsa tah nangmih soah om coeng.
And now, hear me, and send back the captives whom you have taken captive of your brothers, for the heat of the anger of YHWH [is] on you.”
12 Ephraim koca boeilu lamkah hlang rhoek Jehohanan capa Azariah, Meshillemith capa Berekiah, Shallum capa Hezekiah, Hadlai capa Amasa loh caempuei lamkah aka pawk rhoek te a mah uh.
And certain of the heads of the sons of Ephraim (Azariah son of Johanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai), rise up against those coming in from the host,
13 Te phoeiah amih te, “Tamna te hela hang khuen uh boeh. Kaimih ham BOEIPA kah dumlai rhung la. Mamih kah tholhnah ham neh mamih kah dumlai ham ka koei eh na ti uh te. Mamih kah dumlai neh Israel sokah thintoek thinsa mah khawk coeng,” a ti uh.
and say to them, “You do not bring in the captives here, for guilt against YHWH [is already] on us, you are saying to add to our sin and to our guilt. For abundant [is] the guilt we have, and the fierceness of anger on Israel.”
14 Te dongah aka pumcum rhoek long khaw tamna neh kutbuem te mangpa rhoek neh hlangping boeih kah mikhmuh ah a toeng.
And the armed men leave the captives and the prey before the heads and all the assembly;

and the men who have been expressed by name rise and take hold on the captives, and they have clothed all their naked ones from the spoil, indeed, they clothe them, and shoe them, and cause them to eat and drink, and anoint them, and lead them on donkeys, even every feeble one, and bring them to Jericho, the city of palms, near their brothers, and return to Samaria.
16 Te vaeng tue ah manghai Ahaz loh amah aka bom la Assyria manghai te a tah.
At that time King Ahaz has sent to the king of Asshur to give help to him;
17 Edom khaw koep ha pawk tih Judah te a ngawn phoeiah tamna la a sol uh.
and again the Edomites have come, and strike in Judah, and take captive a captivity.

And the Philistines have rushed against the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and capture Beth-Shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho and its villages, and Timnah and its villages, and Gimzo and its villages, and dwell there,
19 Israel manghai Ahaz kong ah ni BOEIPA loh Judah te a kunyun sak. Anih loh Judah ah a hlahpham dongah ni BOEIPA taengah boekoeknah la boe a koek uh.
for YHWH has humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he made free with Judah, even to commit a trespass against YHWH.
20 Assyria manghai Tiglathpileser khaw anih taengla pawk dae anih te a daengdaeh tih a duel moenih.
And Tilgath-Pilneser king of Asshur comes to him, and does distress him, and has not strengthened him,
21 Ahaz loh BOEIPA im neh manghai im te khaw, mangpa rhoek khaw a tael tih Assyria manghai taengla a paek dae anih ham bomnah la a om pah moenih.
though Ahaz has taken a portion [out] of the house of YHWH, and [out] of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gives to the king of Asshur, yet it is no help to him.
22 Amah kah puencak tue vaengah pataeng khaw BOEIPA taengah boekoek ham aka khoep tah manghai Ahaz amah ni.
And in the time of his distress—he adds to trespass against YHWH (this King Ahaz),
23 Amih aka bom Aram manghai rhoek kah pathen te ka nawn daengah ni kai m'bom uh van eh a ti tih, amah aka ngawn Damasku pathen te a nawn. Tedae te anih taengah tah amah neh Israel pum te aka paloe sak la poeh uh.
and he sacrifices to the gods of Damascus [which were] those striking him, and says, “Because the gods of the kings of Aram are helping them, I sacrifice to them, and they help me,” and they have been to him to cause him to stumble, and to all Israel.
24 Ahaz loh Pathen im kah hnopai te a coi tih Pathen im kah hnopai te a top. Te phoeiah BOEIPA im kah thohkhaih te a khaih tih Jerusalem kah bangkil boeih ah amah ham hmueihtuk a suem.
And Ahaz gathers the vessels of the house of God, and cuts in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shuts the doors of the house of YHWH, and makes altars for himself in every corner in Jerusalem.
25 Pathen tloe rhoek taengah phum hamla Judah kah khopuei, khopuei boeih ah hmuensang te a saii tih a napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA te a veet.
And in each and every city of Judah he has made high places to make incense to other gods, and provokes YHWH, God of his fathers.
26 Anih kah ol noi neh a longpuei boeih te a kung a dong khaw, Judah neh Israel manghai rhoek cabu khuiah a daek uh coeng he.
And the rest of his matters, and all his ways, the first and the last, behold, they are written on the scroll of the kings of Judah and Israel.
27 Ahaz te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah tah anih te Jerusalem khopuei ah a up uh ngawn dae Israel manghai rhoek kah phuel ah tah anih te tlak sak uh pawh. Te phoeiah a capa Hezekiah te anih yueng la manghai.
And Ahaz lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the city, in Jerusalem, but have not brought him to the graves of the kings of Israel, and his son Hezekiah reigns in his stead.
