1 Remaliah capa Pekah kah kum hlai rhih kum vaengah Judah manghai Jotham capa Ahaz khaw manghai van.

In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah, Ahaz son of Jotham, king of Judah, has reigned.

2 Ahaz amah he kum kul a lo ca vaengah manghai. Jerusalem ah kum hlai rhuk manghai dae a napa David bangla a Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem a saii moenih.

Ahaz [is] a son of twenty years in his reigning, and he has reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and he has not done that which [is] right in the eyes of his God YHWH, like his father David,

3 Israel manghai rhoek kah longpuei ah pongpa tih namtom kah tueilaehkoi la a ca pataeng hmai dongah a kat sak. BOEIPA loh amih te Israel ca mikhmuh lamkah ni a haek coeng.

and he walks in the way of the kings of Israel, and he has also caused his son to pass over into fire, according to the abominations of the nations that YHWH dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel,

4 Hmuensang neh som ah khaw, thing hing cungkuem hmuiah khaw a nawn tih a phum.

and he sacrifices and makes incense in high places, and on the heights, and under every green tree.

5 Aram manghai Rezin neh Israel manghai Remaliah capa Pekah loh caemtloek la Jerusalem a paan rhoi. Te vaengah Ahaz te a dum rhoi dae a vathoh ham tah coeng rhoi pawh.

Then Rezin king of Aram, and Pekah son of Remaliah, king of Israel, go up to Jerusalem, to battle, and they lay siege to Ahaz, and they have not been able to fight.

6 Te vaeng tue ah Aram manghai Rezin loh Aram hamla Elath te a lat pah. Elath lamkah Judah te a biit dongah Arammi neh Edom loh Elath la puen uh tih tahae khohnin duela pahoi kho a sak uh.

At that time Rezin king of Aram has brought back Elath to Aram, and casts out the Jews from Elath, and the Arameans have come to Elath, and dwell there to this day.

7 Ahaz loh Assyria manghai Tiglathpileser taengah puencawn a tueih tih, “Kai he na sal neh na ca ni. Halo lamtah kai he Aram manghai kut lamkah neh kai aka tlai thil Israel manghai kut lamkah n'khang laeh,” a ti nah.

And Ahaz sends messengers to Tiglath-Pileser king of Asshur, saying, “I [am] your servant and your son; come up and save me out of the hand of the king of Aram, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who are rising up against me.”

8 Te vaengah Ahaz loh cak neh sui khaw, BOEIPA im neh manghai im thakvoh khuikah a hmuh boeih te a loh tih Assyria manghai taengah kapbaih la a pat.

And Ahaz takes the silver and the gold that is found in the house of YHWH, and in the treasures of the house of the king, and sends to the king of Asshur [as] a bribe.

9 Anih ol te Assyria manghai loh a ngai pah dongah Assyria manghai loh Damasku te a paan. Te te a buem van neh a khuikah rhoek te Kir la a poelyoe tih Rezin te khaw a duek sak.

And the king of Asshur listens to him, and the king of Asshur goes up to Damascus, and seizes it, and removes [the people of] it to Kir, and he has put Rezin to death.

10 Manghai Ahaz te Assyria manghai Tiglathpileser doe ham Damasku la pawk. Te vaengah Damasku kah hmueihtuk te a hmuh. Te dongah manghai Ahaz loh khosoih Uriah taengla hmueihtuk kah mueiloh neh a kutngo cungkuem dongkah a muei te a pat.

And King Ahaz goes to meet Tiglath-Pileser king of Asshur [at] Damascus, and sees the altar that [is] in Damascus, and King Ahaz sends to Urijah the priest the likeness of the altar, and its pattern, according to all its work,

11 Te dongah Damasku lamkah manghai Ahaz loh a cungkuem a pat pah vanbangla khosoih Uriah loh hmueihtuk te a sak tih Damasku lamkah manghai Ahaz a mael hlan ah khosoih Uriah long khaw ana saii pah van.

and Urijah the priest builds the altar according to all that King Ahaz has sent from Damascus; so Urijah the priest did until the coming in of King Ahaz from Damascus.

12 Damasku lamkah manghai a pawk vaengah tah manghai loh hmueihtuk te a hmuh. Te dongah manghai loh hmueihtuk taengla tawn uh tih a sola luei.

And the king comes in from Damascus, and the king sees the altar, and the king draws near on the altar, and offers on it,

13 Te phoeiah a hmueihhlutnah neh a khocang te a phum. A tuisi te a doeng tih rhoepnah thii te hmueihtuk dongah amah la a haeh.

and burns his burnt-offering and his present as incense, and pours out his drink-offering, and sprinkles the blood of the peace-offerings that he has, on the altar.

14 BOEIPA mikhmuh kah rhohum hmueihtuk te khaw im hmai lamkah hmueihtuk laklo neh BOEIPA im laklo lamloh a puen tih tlangpuei hmueihtuk kaep ah a khueh.

As for the altar of bronze that [is] before YHWH—he brings [it] near from the front of the house, from between the altar and the house of YHWH, and puts it on the side of the altar, northward.

15 Manghai Ahaz loh khosoih Uriah te a uen, a uen tih, “Mincang kah hmueihhlutnah neh hlaem kah khocang khaw, manghai kah hmueihhlutnah neh a khocang khaw, khohmuen pilnam cungkuem kah hmueihhlutnah neh a khocang khaw a tuisi khaw, hmueihtuk len dongah phum. Hmueihhlutnah thii boeih neh hmueih thii boeih tah a soah haeh thil. Tedae rhohum hmueihtuk tah kai ham aka hnukdawn la om saeh,” a ti nah.

And King Ahaz commands him—Urijah the priest—saying, “On the great altar burn as incense the burnt-offering of the morning, and the present of the evening, and the burnt-offering of the king, and his present, and the burnt-offering of all the people of the land, and their present, and their drink-offerings; and all the blood of the burnt-offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice, you sprinkle on it, and the altar of bronze is for me to inquire [by].”

16 A cungkuem dongah manghai Ahaz kah a uen bangla khosoih Uriah loh a saii.

And Urijah the priest does according to all that King Ahaz commanded.

17 Manghai Ahaz loh tungkho soenglong te a top tih te dong lamkah baeldung te khaw a khoe. Tuli te a dangkah rhohum vaito dong lamloh a hlak tih lung phaih dongah a khueh.

And King Ahaz cuts off the borders of the bases, and turns aside the laver from off them, and he has taken down the sea from off the bronze oxen that [are] under it, and puts it on a pavement of stones.

18 Hlamim khaw im taengkah a sak Sabbath hlamim tah Assyria manghai kah maelhmai kongah ni BOEIPA im kah manghai khuirhai voel la a det.

And the covered place for the Sabbath that they built in the house, and the entrance of the king outside, he turned [from] the house of YHWH, because of the king of Asshur.

19 Ahaz kah ol noi neh a bi saii te Judah manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?

And the rest of the matters of Ahaz that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

20 Ahaz te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah David khopuei kah a napa rhoek taengah a up. Te phoeiah a capa Hezekiah te anih yueng la manghai.

And Ahaz lies with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the City of David, and his son Hezekiah reigns in his stead.
