< 2 Siangpahrang 16 >
1 Remaliah capa Pekah, a bawi nah kum 17 navah, Judah siangpahrang Jotham capa Ahaz teh siangpahrang lah ao.
In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah, Ahaz son of Jotham became king of Judah.
2 Ahaz teh siangpahrang a tawk nah kum 20 touh a pha. Jerusalem kum 16 touh a uk. A na pa Devit patetlah BAWIPA Cathut mithmu vah hawinae sak laipalah, Isarelnaw ni a dawn awh e lam hah a dawn.
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 his God.
3 BAWIPA ni Isarelnaw hmalah a pâlei e miphunnaw ni panuetthopoung e hno ouk a sak e patetlah a capanaw hah hmai hoi thuengnae a sak awh.
Instead, he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and even sacrificed his son in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
4 Hmuenrasang hoi mon tangkuem hoi thingkung rahim tangkuem vah, thuengnae a sak awh teh, hmuitui hmai a sawi awh.
And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.
5 Hot patetlah, Siria siangpahrang Rezin hoi Isarel siangpahrang Remaliah capa Pekah teh, Jerusalem tuk hanlah a kamthaw teh, Ahaz hah king a kalup awh eiteh, tâ awh hoeh.
Then Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to wage war against Jerusalem. They besieged Ahaz but could not overcome him.
6 Hote tueng navah, siangpahrang Rezin ni Elath teh Siria ram hanlah, bout a la. Judahnaw Elath hoi a pâlei awh teh, Sirianaw hah Elath vah a cei awh teh, atu totouh haw vah kho a sak awh.
At that time Rezin king of Aram recovered Elath for Aram, drove out the men of Judah, and sent the Edomites into Elath, where they live to this day.
7 Ahaz ni Siria siangpahrang Tiglath Pileser koevah na san hoi na capa lah nahoehmaw ka o, kai tuk hanlah ka tho e Siria siangpahrang hoi Isarel siangpahrangnaw e kut dawk hoi na rungngang haw, ti teh patounenaw a patoun.
So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. Come up and save me from the hands of the kings of Aram and Israel, who are rising up against me.”
8 Ahaz ni BAWIPA im e suingun kaawmnaw pueng siangpahrang im vah pâtung e râwnaw hai a la teh, Siria siangpahrang koevah ayawmlah a patawn.
Ahaz also took the silver and gold found in the house of the LORD and in the treasuries of the king’s palace, and he sent it as a gift to the king of Assyria.
9 Assiria siangpahrang ni a dei e hah a tang teh, Damaskas kho a tuk teh a la. A taminaw hah Kir ram vah san lah a hrawi awh teh Rezin hah a thei awh.
So the king of Assyria responded to him, marched up to Damascus, and captured it. He took its people to Kir as captives and put Rezin to death.
10 Siangpahrang Ahaz teh, Siria siangpahrang Tiglath Pileser kâhmo hanlah, Damaskas kho vah a cei teh, Damaskas kho e thuengnae khoungroe hah a hmu. Hot patetlah siangpahrang Ahaz ni, hote khoungroe e a meilam teh a sak e boiboe lah a khetkhai vaiteh, sak van hanlah, vaihma Urijah koevah a mei hah a patawn.
Then King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria. On seeing the altar in Damascus, King Ahaz sent Uriah the priest a model of the altar and complete plans for its construction.
11 Vaihma Urijah, ni thuengnae khoungroe teh a sak hoi siangpahrang Ahaz ni, Damaskas kho hai a patawn awh e boiboe lah, vaihma Urijah ni Damaskas kho hai Ahaz siangpahrang a pha hoehnahlan a la cum toe.
And Uriah the priest built the altar according to all the instructions King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, and he completed it by the time King Ahaz had returned.
12 Damaskas kho hoi siangpahrang a pha toteh, siangpahrang ni thuengnae khoungroe teh a hmu. Siangpahrang ni thuengnae khoungroe a pâtam teh a van vah a luen.
When the king came back from Damascus and saw the altar, he approached it and presented offerings on it.
13 Thuengnae dawkvah, hmaisawi thuengnae hai a poe. Tavai thuengnae hai a poe. Nei thuengnae hah a awi teh, roum thuengnae thi hah a awi sin.
He offered his burnt offering and his grain offering, poured out his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings on the altar.
14 Hahoi BAWIPA hmalah, rahum khoungroe, khoungroe hoi BAWIPA im rahak kaawm e, im hmalah kaawm e hah a puen awh teh, khoungroe e atung lah a ta.
He also took the bronze altar that stood before the LORD from the front of the temple (between the new altar and the house of the LORD) and he put it on the north side of the new altar.
15 Siangpahrang Ahaz ni ka len e khoungroe katha thuengnae dawkvah, amom lah, hmaisawi thuengnae, tangmin lah tavai thuengnae siangpahrang hmaisawi thuengnae, tavai thuengnae, nei thuengnae pueng hai hmaisawi nateh poe lawih. Hahoi a van vah, hmaisawi thuengnae pueng hoi thuengnae thinaw pueng haiyah, na kahei sin han. Rahum khoungroe teh ka bawk nahanelah ao han, vaihma Urijah hah kâ a poe.
Then King Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest, “Offer on the great altar the morning burnt offering, the evening grain offering, and the king’s burnt offering and grain offering, as well as the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings of all the people of the land. Sprinkle on the altar all the blood of the burnt offerings and sacrifices. But I will use the bronze altar to seek guidance.”
16 Hot patetlah, vaihma Urijah ni, siangpahrang kâ poe patetlah a sak.
So Uriah the priest did just as King Ahaz had commanded.
17 Hahoi siangpahrang Ahaz ni rahum khoungroe ca hah a takhoe teh maroi hai a tahruet. Rahum tuiim hai rahum maito van hai a la teh talung van a pâhung.
King Ahaz also cut off the frames of the movable stands and removed the bronze basin from each of them. He took down the Sea from the bronze oxen that were under it and put it on a stone base.
18 Assiria siangpahrang kecu dawkvah, sabbath hnin hanlah, lemphu padi e lam siangpahrang imthungkhu vah sak e hoi, siangpahrang hanlah a lawilah hoi kâennae BAWIPA im koehoi a puen awh.
And on account of the king of Assyria, he removed the Sabbath canopy they had built in the temple and closed the royal entryway outside the house of the LORD.
19 Ahaz tawksakna kaawm rae teh, Judah siangpahrangnaw e setouknae cauk dawk koung thut lah ao nahoehmaw.
As for the rest of the acts of Ahaz, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
20 Ahaz teh a na mintoenaw koe a kâhat. Devit kho thung, a na mintoenaw koe a pakawp awh, hahoi a capa Hezekiah ni a yueng lah a uk.
And Ahaz rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David, and his son Hezekiah reigned in his place.
