2 Kings 16
1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign.
No te tekau ma whitu o nga tau o Peka tama a Remaria i kingi ai a Ahata tama a Iotama kingi o Hura.
2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do that which was right in the LORD his God’s eyes, like David his father.
E rua tekau nga tau o Ahata i a ia ka kingi nei; a kotahi tekau ma ono nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. Na kihai i tika tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, a tona Atua, kihai i rite ki ta tona tupuna, ki ta Rawiri.
3 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.
Engari i haere ia i te ara o nga kingi o Iharaira, i mea hoki i tana tama kia tika na waenganui o te ahi, kia pera me nga meatanga whakarihariha a nga tauiwi i peia nei e Ihowa i te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira.
4 He sacrificed and burned incense in the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.
A i patu whakahere ia, i tahu whakakakara ki nga wahi tiketike, ki nga pukepuke, ki raro i nga rakau kouru nui.
5 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.
Katahi ka haere mai a Retini kingi o Hiria raua ko Peka tama a Remaria kingi o Iharaira ki Hiruharama, whawhai ai. Na whakapaea ana a Ahata e raua, otiia kihai i hinga i a raua.
6 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.
I taua wa ka whakahokia e Retini kingi o Hiria a Erata ki Hiria, a peia ana nga Hurai i Erata: na haere mai ana nga Hiriani ki Erata, a nohoia ana a reira a taea noatia tenei ra.
7 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.”
Heoi tukua ana e Ahata he karere ki a Tikirata Pirehere kingi o Ahiria hei ki atu, He pononga ahau nau, he tama hoki; haere mai, whakaorangia ahau i te ringa o te kingi o Hiria, i te ringa ano o te kingi o Iharaira, kua whakatika mai nei ki ahau.
8 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.
Na ka mau a Ahata ki te hiriwa, ki te koura i kitea ki te whare o Ihowa, ki nga taonga hoki o te whare o te kingi, a tukua ana e ia kia kawea hei hakari ki te kingi o Ahiria.
9 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.
Na rongo ana te kingi o Ahiria ki a ia: a haere ana te kingi o Ahiria ki Ramahiku, a riro ana i a ia, whakahekea ana e ia ona tangata ki Kiri, a patua ana a Retini.
10 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.
Na haere ana a Kingi Ahata ki Ramahiku ki te whakatau i a Tikirata Pirehere kingi o Ahiria, a ka kite i te aata i Ramahiku: na ka tukua e Kingi Ahata ki a Uria tohunga te ahua o taua aata, me tona tauira me ona mahinga katoa.
11 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.
Na ka hanga e te tohunga, e Uria, he aata: rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i tukua mai nei e Kingi Ahata i Ramahiku ta te tohunga, ta Uria i mahi ai, mo te tae rawa mai o Kingi Ahata i Ramahiku.
12 When the king had come from Damascus, the king saw the altar; and the king came near to the altar, and offered on it.
A, no te taenga mai o te kingi i Ramahiku, ka kite te kingi i te aata: a ka whakatata te kingi ki te aata, ka tapae whakahere i runga.
13 He burned his burnt offering and his meal offering, poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings on the altar.
Na ka tahuna e ia tana tahunga tinana me tana whakahere totokore, ka ringihia tana ringihanga, a tauhiuhia ana nga toto o ana whakahere mo te pai ki runga ki te aata.
14 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.
Na, ko te aata parahi, ko tera i te aroaro o Ihowa, nekehia mai ana e ia i mua o te whare, i te takiwa o tana aata, o te whare o Ihowa, a whakaturia ana ki te taha tuaraki o tana aata.
15 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.”
A ka whakahau a Kingi Ahata i te tohunga, i a Uria, ka mea, Tahuna ki te aata nui te tahunga tinana o te ata, te whakahere totokore o te ahiahi, te tahunga tinana a te kingi, me tana whakahere totokore, te tahunga tinana hoki a te iwi katoa o te whenua, me ta ratou whakahere totokore me a ratou ringihanga; a me tauhiuhi ano ki reira nga toto katoa o te tahunga tinana, me nga toto katoa o te patunga tapu: engari ko te aata parahi hei mea ui maku.
16 Urijah the priest did so, according to all that King Ahaz commanded.
Na rite tonu ta Uria tohunga i mea ai ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua e Kingi Ahata.
17 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.
I tapahia hoki e Kingi Ahata nga awhi o nga turanga, tangohia ana e ia te takotoranga wai o runga o aua mea; i tangohia ano e ia te moana i runga i nga kau parahi, i era i raro i taua moana, a whakatakotoria ana ki runga ki te whariki kohatu;
18 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.
A ko te taupoki mo te hapati i hanga nei ki roto ki te whare, me te tomokanga o te kingi i waho, whakaangahia ana e ia ki te whare o Ihowa, he whakaaro ki te kingi o Ahiria.
19 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Na, ko era atu meatanga i mea ai a Ahata, kihai ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?
20 Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
Na ka moe a Ahata ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki ona matua, ki te pa o Rawiri: a ko Hetekia, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.
