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.
Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he did not do that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, like David his father;
2 Israel manghai rhoek longpuei ah pongpa tih Baal rhoek hamla mueihlawn khaw a saii pah.
but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for the Baals.
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.
Moreover he burnt incense in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, and made his sons pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD cast out before 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 and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

Therefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Aram; and they struck him, and carried away of his a great multitude of captives, and brought them to Damascus. He was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who struck 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 Pekah the son of Remaliah killed in Judah one hundred twenty thousand in one day, all of them 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.
Zikri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah who was next to the king.

The children of Israel carried away captive of their brothers two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil 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.
But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria, and said to them, "Look, because the LORD, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah, he has delivered them into your hand, and you have slain them in a rage which has 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?
Now you purpose to keep under the people of Judah and Jerusalem for bondservants and bondmaids for yourselves. Aren't there even with you trespasses of your own 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.
Now hear me therefore, and send back the captives, that you have taken captive from your brothers; for the fierce wrath of the LORD 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.
Then some of the heads of the people of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against those who 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 said to them, "You shall not bring in the captives here: for you purpose that which will bring on us a trespass against the LORD, to add to our sins and to our trespass; for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against 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 armed men left the captives and the spoil before the leaders and all the assembly.

Amih te rhophoe khopuei Jerikho kah a manuca taengla a thak uh phoeiah Samaria la mael uh.
The men who have been mentioned by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all who were naked among them, dressed them, gave them sandals, and gave them something to eat and to drink, anointed them, carried all the feeble of them on donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brothers. Then 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 Ahaz sent to the king of Assyria to help him.
17 Edom khaw koep ha pawk tih Judah te a ngawn phoeiah tamna la a sol uh.
For again the Edomites had come and struck Judah, and carried away captives.

The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland, and of the Negev of Judah, and had taken Beth Shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Soco with its towns, and Timnah with its towns, Gimzo also and its towns: and they lived 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 the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he had dealt wantonly in Judah, and trespassed severely against the LORD.
20 Assyria manghai Tiglathpileser khaw anih taengla pawk dae anih te a daengdaeh tih a duel moenih.
Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria came to him, and distressed him, but did not strengthen 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.
For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of the LORD, and out of the house of the king and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria: but it did not help him.
22 Amah kah puencak tue vaengah pataeng khaw BOEIPA taengah boekoek ham aka khoep tah manghai Ahaz amah ni.
In the time of his distress, he trespassed yet more against the LORD, this same 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.
For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which struck him; and he said, "Because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, so I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me." But 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.
Ahaz gathered together the vessels of God's house, and cut in pieces the vessels of God's house, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD; and he made him altars in every corner 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.
In every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD, the 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.
Now the rest of his acts, and all his ways, first and last, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem; for they did not bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
