2 Khokhuen 28
1 Ahaz te a manghai vaengah kum kul lo ca pueng tih Jerusalem ah kum hlai rhuk manghai. Tedae a napa David bangla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem a saii moenih.
Achaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: he did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord as David his father had done,
2 Israel manghai rhoek longpuei ah pongpa tih Baal rhoek hamla mueihlawn khaw a saii pah.
But walked in the ways of the kings of Israel; moreover also he cast statues for Baalim.
3 Anih loh kolrhawk ah a phum tih BOEIPA loh Israel ca mikhmuh lamkah a haek namtom rhoek kah a tueilaehkoi la hmai dongah a ca rhoek a pup.
It was he that burnt incense in the valley of Benennom, and consecrated his sons in the fire according to the manner of the nations, which the Lord slew at the coming of the children of Israel.
4 Hmuensang ah khaw, som ah khaw, thing hing tom kah a hmuiah khaw a nawn tih a phum.
He sacrificed also, and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
5 Te dongah anih te a Pathen BOEIPA loh Aram manghai kut ah a paek tih amah ah a ngawn uh. Te vaengah anih taengkah tamna te muep a sol uh tih Damasku la a thak uh. Israel manghai kut dongla a voeih bal tih anih te hmasoe len neh a ngawn.
And the Lord his God delivered him into the hands of the king of Syria, who defeated him, and took a great booty out of his kingdom, and carried it to Damascus: he was also delivered into the hands of the king of Israel, who overthrew him with a great slaughter.
6 A napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA te a toeng uh dongah tatthai ca boeih te hnin at dongah Judah kah Remaliah capa Pekah loh thawng yakhat neh thawng kul a ngawn.
For Phacee the son of Romelia slew of Juda a hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all valiant men: because they had forsaken the Lord the God of their fathers.
7 Ephraim hlangrhalh Zikhri loh manghai capa Maaseiah, a im kah rhaengsang Azrikam, manghai hnukthoi Elkanah te a ngawn.
At the same time Zechri a powerful man of Ephraim, slew Maasias the king’s son, and Ezricam the governor of his house, and Elcana who was next to the king.
8 A manuca khui lamkah Israel ca rhoek te a yuu khaw, a capa khaw, a canu khaw thawng yahnih te a sol pauh. Te lamkah kutbuem muep a poelyoe uh tih kutbuem te Samaria la a khuen uh.
And the children of Israel carried away of their brethren two hundred thousand women, boys, and girls, and an immense booty: and they brought it to Samaria.
9 Te vaengah BOEIPA kah tonghma, a ming ah Oded te pahoi om tih Samaria la aka pawk caempuei hmai la cet. Te phoeiah amih te, “Na pa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA kah kosi kongah ni amih te Judah neh nang kut ah m'paek. Tedae amih te vaan a pha hil thintoek neh na ngawn.
At that time there was a prophet of the Lord there, whose name was Oded: and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria, and said to them: Behold the Lord the God of your fathers being angry with Juda, hath delivered them into your hands, and you have butchered them cruelly, so that your cruelty hath reached up to heaven.
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?
Moreover you have a mind to keep under the children of Juda and Jerusalem for your bondmen and bondwomen, which ought not to be done: for you have sinned in this against the Lord your God.
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.
But hear ye my counsel, and release the captives that you have brought of your brethren, because a great indignation of the Lord hangeth over 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.
Then some of the chief men of the sons of Ephraim, Azarias the son of Johanan, Barachias the son of Mosollamoth, Ezechias the son of Sellum, and Amasa the son of Adali, stood up against them that came from the war.
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 they said to them: You shall not bring in the captives hither, lest we sin against the Lord. Why will you add to our sins, and heap up upon our former offences? for the sin is great, and the fierce anger of the Lord hangeth over Israel.
14 Te dongah aka pumcum rhoek long khaw tamna neh kutbuem te mangpa rhoek neh hlangping boeih kah mikhmuh ah a toeng.
So the soldiers left the spoils, and all that they had taken, before the princes and all the multitude.
15 Te vaengah ming neh a phoei hlang rhoek te thoo uh tih tamna te a talong uh. Amih pumtling boeih te khaw kutbuem lamkah neh a khuk uh tih amih a bai sakuh. Amih te a khom sak phoeiah a cah uh tih a tul uh. Amih te a yuh uh phoeiah tattloel boeih ham te laak dongah a khool uh. Amih te rhophoe khopuei Jerikho kah a manuca taengla a thak uh phoeiah Samaria la mael uh.
And the men, whom we mentioned above, rose up and took the captives, and with the spoils clothed all them that were naked: and when they had clothed and shed them, and refreshed them with meat and drink, and anointed them because of their labour, and had taken care of them, they set such of them as could not walk, and were feeble, upon beasts, and brought them to Jericho the city of palm trees to their brethren, and they returned to Samaria.
16 Te vaeng tue ah manghai Ahaz loh amah aka bom la Assyria manghai te a tah.
At that time king Achaz sent to the king of the Assyrians asking help.
17 Edom khaw koep ha pawk tih Judah te a ngawn phoeiah tamna la a sol uh.
And the Edomites came and slew many of Juda, and took a great booty.
18 Philisti khaw kolrhawk khopuei neh Judah kah Negev ah capit tih Bethshemesh khaw, Aijalon khaw, Gederoth khaw, Sokoh neh a khobuel rhoek khaw, Timnah neh a khobuel rhoek khaw, Gimzo neh a khobuel rhoek khaw a loh uh tih pahoi kho a sak uh.
The Philistines also spread themselves among the cities of the plains, and to the south of Juda: and they took Bethsames, and Aialon, and Gaderoth, and Socho, and Thamnan, and Gamzo, with their villages, and they dwelt in them.
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 the Lord had humbled Juda because of Achaz the king of Juda, for he had stripped it of help, and had contemned the Lord.
20 Assyria manghai Tiglathpileser khaw anih taengla pawk dae anih te a daengdaeh tih a duel moenih.
And he brought, against him Thelgathphalnasar king of the Assyrians, who also afflicted him, and plundered him without any resistance.
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.
And Achaz stripped the house of the Lord, and the house of the kings, and of the princes, and gave gifts to the king of the Assyrians, and yet it availed him nothing.
22 Amah kah puencak tue vaengah pataeng khaw BOEIPA taengah boekoek ham aka khoep tah manghai Ahaz amah ni.
Moreover also in the time of his distress he increased contempt against the Lord: king Achaz himself by himself,
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.
Sacrificed victims to the gods of Damascus that struck him, and he said: The gods of the kings of Syria help them, and I will appease them with victims, and they will help me; whereas on the contrary they were the ruin of him, and of 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.
Then Achaz having taken away all the vessels of the house of God, and broken them, shut up the doors of the temple of God, and made himself altars in all the corners of 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 all the cities of Juda he built altars to burn frankincense, and he provoked the Lord the God of his fathers to wrath.
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.
But the rest of his acts, and all his works first and last are written in the book of the kings of Juda 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 Achaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of Jerusalem: for they received him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel. And Ezechias his son reigned in his stead.
