2 Ruodhi 16

1 E higa mar apar gabiriyo mar loch Peka wuod Remalia, Ahaz wuod Jotham ruodh Juda nobedo ruoth.

In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign.

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 years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He didn’t do that which was right in the LORD his God’s eyes, like David his father.

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.

But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and even made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel.

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 burned incense in the high places, 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.

Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to wage war. They besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome 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.

At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drove the Jews from Elath; and the Syrians came to Elath, and lived there 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.”

So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. Come up and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who rise up against 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 that was found in the LORD’s house, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria.

9 Ruodh Asuria noyie momonjo Damaski kendo okawe. Nodaro joma odak Damaski motero e twech Kir, Rezin to ne onego.

The king of Assyria listened to him; and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus and took it, and carried its people captive to Kir, and killed 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, and saw the altar that was at Damascus; and King Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest a drawing of the altar and plans 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.

Urijah the priest built an altar. According to all that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so Urijah the priest made it for the coming of King Ahaz from Damascus.

12 Kane ruoth odwogo koa Damaski mi oneno kendo mar misangono, to ne odhi mochiwo misango e wiye.

When the king had come from Damascus, the king saw the altar; and the king came near to the altar, and offered 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 burned his burnt offering and his meal offering, poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings on the altar.

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.

The bronze altar, which was before the LORD, he brought from the front of the house, from between his altar and the LORD’s house, and put it on the north side of his 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.”

King Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, “On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, the evening meal offering, the king’s burnt offering and his meal offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, their meal offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice; but the bronze altar will be for me to inquire by.”

16 Kendo Uria jadolo notimo mana kaka ruoth Ahaz nochiko.

Urijah the priest did so, according to all that King Ahaz commanded.

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 cut off the panels of the bases, and removed the basin from off them, and took down the sea from off the bronze oxen that were under it, and put it on a pavement of stone.

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 removed the covered way for the Sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king’s outer entrance to the LORD’s house, because of the king of Assyria.

19 To kuom gik mamoko duto mane Ahaz otimo e ndalo lochne, donge ondikgi e kitap weche ruodhi Juda?

Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the 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 slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
