2 Kings 16
1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah, Ahaz son of Jotham became king of Judah.
Remaliah capa Pekah saning hatlaisarihto naah, Judah siangpahrang Jotham capa Ahaz to siangpahrang ah oh amtong.
2 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.
Ahaz siangpahrang ah oh naah saning pumphaeto oh boeh; anih loe saning hatlaitarukto thung Jerusalem to uk. Anih loe ampa David baktiah, angmah ih Angraeng Sithaw mikhnukah kahoih hmuen to sah ai.
3 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.
Anih loe Israel kaminawk ih loklam ah caeh; ue, Angraeng mah Israel kaminawk hmaa ah haek ih, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah sak o ih panuet thok hmuen baktiah, a capa mataeng doeh hmai hoiah angbawnhaih sak hanah a paek.
4 And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.
Anih loe hmuensangnawk, mae nui hoi thing tlim kruekah, angbawnhaih to sak moe, hmuihoih to thlaek.
5 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.
Syria siangpahrang Rezin hoi Israel siangpahrang Remaliah capa Pekah loe Jerusalem tuk hanah angzoh hoi tahang moe, Ahaz to takui hoi; toe anih to pazawk hoi thai ai.
6 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.
To pacoengah Syria siangpahrang Rezin mah Judah kaminawk to Elath vangpui hoiah haek moe, Elath to Syria prae thungah suek let; Syria kaminawk loe Elath vangpui ah angpoeng o moe, vaihni ni khoek to to ahmuen ah khosak o.
7 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.”
Ahaz mah Assyria siangpahrang Tiglath-Pileser khaeah laicaeh patoeh, Kai loe na tamna, na capa ah ni ka oh; angzo tahangh loe kai katuh, Syria siangpahrang hoi Israel siangpahrang ban thung hoiah na pahlong ah, tiah lokpat.
8 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.
Ahaz mah Angraeng ih tempul hoi siangpahrang ih hmuen pakuemhaih thung ih sui hoi phoisanawk to lak boih moe, Assyria siangpahrang hanah tangqum ah pat pae.
9 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.
Assyria siangpahrang mah anih ih lok to tahngaih pae; Assyria siangpahrang loe caeh moe, Damaska to tuk; a lak pacoengah, to ah kaom kaminawk to Kir vangpui ah misong ah caeh haih, Rezin to hum.
10 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.
Ahaz siangpahrang loe Assyria siangpahrang Tiglath-Pileser tongh hanah Damaska ah caeh; Damaska vangpui ah hmaicam maeto a hnuk; to ih hmaicam ih krang, lenhaih hoi sawkhaih dan, sakhaih dannawk boih to tarik moe, qaima Uriah khaeah pat pae.
11 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.
Qaima Uriah mah Damaska vangpui hoiah Ahaz siangpahrang mah pat pae ih krang baktih toengah hmaicam to sak; Ahaz siangpahrang Damaska vangpui hoi amlaem ai naah sak pacoeng pae boeh.
12 When the king came back from Damascus and saw the altar, he approached it and presented offerings on it.
Siangpahrang Damaska vangpui hoiah amlaem let naah, hmaicam to a hnuk; anih loe a taengah caeh moe, to hmaicam nuiah angbawnhaih to sak.
13 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.
Hmai angbawnhaih, canghum angbawnhaih to a sak, naek koi angbawnhaih doeh bawh moe, hmaicam nuiah angdaeh angbawnhaih athii to haeh.
14 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.
Angraeng hmaa ah kaom, Angraeng im hmaa ih, sum kamling hmaicam to, im hmaa hoiah pathuih ving, Angraeng im hoi hmaicam salak hoiah tahruet ving moe, hmaicam aluek bangah a suek.
15 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.”
Ahaz siangpahrang mah qaima Uziah khaeah, akhawnbangah sak ih hmai angbawnhaih, duembangah sak ih canghum tathlanghaih, siangpahrang angbawnhaih hoi a sak ih canghum tathlanghaih, prae kaminawk boih mah sak ih angbawnhaih, nihcae mah paek o ih canghum tathlanghaih hoi paek o ih naek koi hmuennawk to, kalen parai hmaicam nuiah sah oh; hmai angbawnhaih moithii to hmaicam pongah haeh oh: toe sumkamling hoi sak ih hmaicam loe lokduenghaih sak hanah kai hanah om tih, tiah a thuih.
16 So Uriah the priest did just as King Ahaz had commanded.
Siangpahrang Ahaz mah paek ih lok baktih toengah qaima Uriah mah sak.
17 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.
Ahaz siangpahrang mah sumkamling aqai to boeng pat moe, kangthui thaih akhok kaom tung pong ih sabae kathuk to takhoe ving; sumkamling hoiah sak ih maitaw tae nuiah kaom tuili to lak tathuk moe, thlung nuiah pahnut.
18 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.
Angraeng imthung ah sak ih Sabbath niah patoh ih kahni doeh takhoe ving, Assyria siangpahrang pongah, siangpahrang Angraeng im ah akunhaih loklam doeh takhoe pae o ving.
19 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?
Ahaz siangpahrang ah oh nathung kaom hmuennawk hoi a sak ih hmuennawk loe, Judah siangpahrangnawk ih ahmin pakuemhaih cabu thungah tarik o na ai maw?
20 And Ahaz rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David, and his son Hezekiah reigned in his place.
Ahaz loe ampanawk khaeah anghak; ampanawk khaeah David vangpui ah aphum o. Anih zuengah a capa Hezekiah to siangpahrang ah oh.
