2 Ruodhi 16
1 E higa mar apar gabiriyo mar loch Peka wuod Remalia, Ahaz wuod Jotham ruodh Juda nobedo ruoth.
Ahaz, son of Jotham, became king of Judah in the seventeenth year of the reign of Pekah, son of Remaliah.
2 Ahaz ne ja-higni piero ariyo kane obedo ruoth kendo nobedo e loch kodak Jerusalem kuom higni apar gauchiel. To timbene ne ok longʼo e nyim wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye kaka timbe Daudi kwar mare ne chalo.
Ahaz was twenty when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years. But unlike David his forefather, he did not do what was right in the sight of the Lord his God.
3 Noluwo timbe ruodhi mag Israel kendo nochiwo wuode mondo otimgo liswa kaka misango miwangʼo pep koluwo timbe mamono mag ogendini mane Jehova Nyasaye oriembo e nyim jo-Israel.
He followed the ways of the kings of Israel, and he even sacrificed his son in the fire, participating in the disgusting practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.
4 Notimo misengini kendo owangʼo ubani mangʼwe ngʼar e kuonde motingʼore malo mag lemo, ewi gode matindo kendo e bwo yiende motimo otiep.
He sacrificed and presented burnt offerings on the high places and on the hills and under every green tree.
5 Eka Rezin ruodh Aram kod Peka wuod Remalia ruodh Israel nowuok dhi gore gi Jerusalem mi omako Ahaz, to ne ok ginyal loye.
Rezin, king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came and attacked Jerusalem. They besieged Ahaz but couldn't defeat him.
6 E kindeno Rezin ruodh Aram ne odwogo Elath e lwet Aram koriembo jo-Juda. Bangʼe jo-Edom nodonjo Elath kendo gidak kuno nyaka chil kawuono.
This was when Rezin, king of Aram, recovered Elath for Edom. He expelled the people of Judah, and sent Edomites to Elath, where they still live to this day.
7 Ahaz nooro joote mondo okone Tiglath-Pilesa ruodh Asuria kowacho niya, “An jatichni kendo anie e bwo lochni. Bi mondo iresa e lwet ruodh Aram kendo e lwet ruodh Israel mosemonja.”
Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, saying, “I'm your servant, and your son. Please come and rescue me from the kings of Aram and Israel who are attacking me.”
8 Kendo Ahaz nokawo fedha kod dhahabu mane oyudi e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kod kar keno mar od ruoth mine oorogi kaka mich ne ruodh Asuria.
Ahaz took the silver and gold from the Lord's Temple and from the treasuries of the king's palace, and he sent it to the king of Assyria as a gift.
9 Ruodh Asuria noyie momonjo Damaski kendo okawe. Nodaro joma odak Damaski motero e twech Kir, Rezin to ne onego.
The king of Assyria responded positively to him. He went and attacked Damascus, and captured it. He deported its inhabitants to Kir and executed Rezin.
10 Eka ruoth Ahaz nodhi Damaski mondo orom gi Tiglath-Pilesa ruodh Asuria. Noneno kendo mar misango man Damaski mi ooro ni Uria jadolo goro kaka oger kendono, kondiko maler gik moko duto mogerego.
King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-Pileser, king of Assyria. During his visit he saw an altar in Damascus, and he sent Uriah the priest a drawing of the altar, along with instructions how to build it.
11 Omiyo Uria jadolo nogero kendo mar misango kaluwore gi rieko duto mane ruoth Ahaz noorone koa Damaski mi notieko gere kapok ruoth Ahaz odwogo.
So Uriah the priest built an altar following all the instructions King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, completing it before King Ahaz returned.
12 Kane ruoth odwogo koa Damaski mi oneno kendo mar misangono, to ne odhi mochiwo misango e wiye.
When the king came back from Damascus he saw the altar. He went over to it and made offerings on it.
13 Ne ochiwo misango miwangʼo pep kod misango mar cham, kaachiel gi misango miolo piny kendo nokiro remo mar lalruok ewi kendo mar misango.
He presented his burnt offering and his grain offering, he poured out his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his friendship offerings on it.
14 To kendo mar misango mar mula mane ni e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nogolo e kind kendone manyien gi hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye mokete yo nyandwat mar kendo manyien-no.
He also moved the bronze altar that stood before the Lord from the front of the Temple, between the new altar and the Lord's Temple, and he placed it to the north of the new altar.
15 Eka ruoth Ahaz nogolo chik ne Uria jadolo niya, “E kendo manyien maduongʼni ema nyaka itimie misango miwangʼo pep mar okinyi, misango mar cham mar odhiambo, misango miwangʼo pep mar ruoth, kod misango mar cham mar ruoth kaachiel gi misango pep mar ji duto modak e pinyno, kod misangogi mag cham kod misango miolo piny. Kir remo mag misengini duto miwangʼo pep kod misengini mamoko ewi kendo mar misangono. To abiro tiyo gi kendo mar misango molos gi mula mondo angʼe gima kare monego atim.”
Then King Ahaz ordered Uriah the priest: “Use this new important altar to offer the morning burnt offering, the evening grain offering, the king's burnt offering and grain offering, and the burnt offering of all the people, and their grain offerings and their drink offerings. Sprinkle on this altar the blood of all the burnt offerings and sacrifices. The old bronze altar I'll use for divination.”
16 Kendo Uria jadolo notimo mana kaka ruoth Ahaz nochiko.
Uriah the priest followed King Ahaz's orders.
17 Ruoth Ahaz nogolo gik moko michungogo besen kogolo kuom mago minyalo gol kuondegi. Bende nogolo gima ne iluongo ni Nam kuom mula molos ka rwath mane osire, mokete kar kende e kidi.
King Ahaz also removed the frames of the movable carts, and also took out the bronze basin from each of them. He removed the Sea from the bronze bulls it rested on and placed it on a stone pedestal.
18 Bende nomuko agola mane otiyogo chiengʼ Sabato kod rangach ma oko mane odonjogo e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, nikech winjruok marach e kindgi gi ruodh Asuria.
He took down the Sabbath canopy they had built in the Temple, as well as the king's outer entrance to the Lord's Temple. He did this to please the king of Assyria.
19 To kuom gik mamoko duto mane Ahaz otimo e ndalo lochne, donge ondikgi e kitap weche ruodhi Juda?
The rest of what happened in Ahaz's reign and all he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
20 Ahaz notho moyweyo gi kwerene kendo noyike kodgi e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi. Kendo Hezekia ma wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
Ahaz died and was buried with his forefathers in the City of David. His son Hezekiah succeeded him as king.
