2 Setouknae 28
1 Ahaz teh siangpahrang a bawi na kum 20 touh boung a pha, Jerusalem kum 16 touh a uk. A na pa Devit patetlah BAWIPA mithmu vah hawinae sak hoeh.
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 Isarel siangpahrang naw e lamthung a dawn teh Baal hanelah meikaphawknaw a sak.
Instead, he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and even made cast images of the Baals.
3 Hinnom capa e thingyei yawn dawk hmuitui hmai a sawi. BAWIPA ni Isarelnaw hmalah a pâlei e miphunnaw ni, panuetthopounge hno ouk a sak awh e patetlah a canaw hmai hoi thuengnae a sak.
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 Hmuenrasang hoi monsomnaw hoi thingkung rahim tangkuem vah, thuengnae a sak teh hmuitui hmai a sawi.
And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.
5 Hatdawkvah, Cathut ni Siria siangpahrang kut dawk a poe. A tuk awh teh a taminaw moikapap san lah a man awh teh, Damaskas lah a ceikhai awh. Isarel siangpahrang kut dawk hai a poe teh ahni ni moikapap a thei.
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 Hahoi Remaliah capa Pekah ni Judah ram dawk hnin touh dawk 120, 000 a thei, abuemlah hoi tami tarankahawinaw seng doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut a hnoun awh dawk doeh.
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 Hahoi Ephraim tami athakaawme Zikhri ni siangpahrang capa Maaseiah hoi imthung kahrawikung Azrikam hoi Elkanah, siangpahrang kabawmkungnaw a thei awh.
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 Isarelnaw ni a hmaunawngha 200, 000 touh a manu, a capanaw hoi a canunaw san lah a hrawi awh. Hno moikapap a lawp awh teh Samaria lah a ceikhai awh.
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 Hatei, hote hmuen koe BAWIPA e profet ao teh, a min teh Oded doeh. Samaria lahoi ka tho e ransanaw hmalah a cei teh, ahnimouh koe, khenhaw! na mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut teh Judahnaw koe a lungkhuek dawkvah, nangmae kut dawk na poe awh.
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 Hahoi Judah hoi Jerusalem e taminaw sannu sanpa lah coung sak hanelah na noe awh. Hatei, namamouh hai BAWIPA Cathut hmalah yonpen lah letlang na o awh van nahoehmaw.
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 Hatdawkvah, ka lawk tarawi awh nateh, na hmaunawngha san lah na man e naw hah ban sak awh leih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e lungkhuek kamannae teh nangmae lathueng vah ao telah atipouh.
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 Hahoi, Ephraim kahrawikung, Johanan capa Azriah, Meshillemoth capa Berekhiah, Shallum capa Hezekiah, Hadlai capa Amasa, naw ni tarantuknae koehoi kathonaw hah kangdue laihoi a ngang awh.
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 Ahnimouh koe sannaw na kâen thai awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA lungkhuek sak awh toe. Mamae yonnae hoi yonpennae hah thapsin hanlah bout na noe awh. Yonpennae a len poung toe, Isarelnaw koe lungkhuek kamannae ao telah atipouh awh.
“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 Hottelah ransanaw ni kahrawikungnaw hoi tamimayanaw e hmalah san hoi lawphnonaw hah a cei takhai awh.
So the armed men left the captives and the plunder before the leaders and all the assembly.
15 Hahoi min a kaw e naw pueng a thaw awh teh, sannaw hah a ceikhai awh teh, lawphno a la awh e hnicunaw hah, tawngtai lah kaawm e naw hah a khohna sak awh. Khokkhawm a khawm sak awh teh, canei a poe awh teh satui a hluk awh. Tami thakayounnaw hah la dawk a kâcui sak awh teh, a hmaunawnghanaw onae koe Jeriko kho tie samtue khopui dawk a thak awh teh, ahnimouh teh Samaria kho lah a ban awh.
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 Hatnae tueng dawk siangpahrang Ahaz ni Siria siangpahrang koevah, ama kabawp hanelah tami a patoun.
At that time King Ahaz sent for help from the king of Assyria.
17 Edomnaw ni Judahnaw a tuk awh teh, san lah bout a man awh.
The Edomites had again come and attacked Judah and carried away captives.
18 Filistinnaw ni hai a rahim lae ram hoi akalae Judah ram, Bethshemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Sokoh, hoi khotenaw; Timnah hoi khotenaw; Gimzo hoi khotenaw a la awh teh, hote hmuen dawk ao sin awh.
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 Isarel siangpahrang Ahaz kecu dawk BAWIPA ni Judah hah rahim lah a pabo. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni ni Judahnaw e pouknae a raphoe pouh teh, BAWIPA hanelah yuemkamcu hoeh lah ao 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 Siria siangpahrang Tiglathpileser hai ahni koe a tho teh kabawm laipalah lungrei hoe a thai sak.
Then Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria came to Ahaz but afflicted him rather than strengthening him.
21 Ahaz ni BAWIPA im, siangpahrang im hoi kahrawikungnaw kho hoi hnopai a la teh, Siria siangpahrang a poe, Hatei kabawm ngai kalawn hoeh.
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 Khopouk a deng nahaiyah siangpahrang Ahaz teh, BAWIPA koe yuemkamcu hoeh lah hoehoe ao. Hethateh, Ahaz siangpahrang e a coungnae doeh.
In the time of his distress, King Ahaz became even more unfaithful to the LORD.
23 Ama ka tâ e Damaskas e cathut koe thuengnae a sak teh, Siria siangpahrang cathutnaw ni a kabawp awh dawkvah, na kabawp van hanelah ahnimouh koe thuengnae sak hanelah ao telah a ti.
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 ni Cathut im dawk hnopai pueng a pâkhueng teh, reprep koung a dei. BAWIPA im thonaw koung a taren teh, Jerusalem takin pueng koe thuengnae khoungroe 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 Judah ram kho moikapap koe cathut alouknaw hanlah hmuitui sawi nahane hmuenrasang a sak teh, a na mintoenaw e Cathut hah a lungkhuek sak.
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 A tawksaknae thung dawk kaawm rae pueng hoi a khosaknae pueng kamtawng hoi apout totouh, khenhaw! Judah hoi Isarel siangpahrangnaw e lairui thutnae dawk thut lah ao.
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 teh a na mintoenaw koe a i teh, Jerusalem khopui dawk a pakawp awh. Hatei, Isarel siangpahrangnaw e phuen dawk nahoeh. Hahoi a capa Hezekiah ni a yueng lah a bawi.
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.
