2 Chronicles 28
1 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And he did not what was right in the sight of Jehovah, like David his father,
Ahaz xɔ ƒe blaeve esi wòzu fia eye wòɖu fia ƒe wuiade le Yerusalem, ke mewɔ nu si dzɔ le Yehowa ŋkume abe tɔgbuia David ene o.
2 but walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and even made molten images for the Baals;
Edze fia siwo nɔ Israel la ƒe kpɔɖeŋuwo yome eye wòsubɔ Baal ƒe legbawo.
3 and he burned incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burned his sons in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel.
Edea Ben Hinom ƒe Balime gɔ̃ hã, menye be yeado dzudzɔ na legbawo ko o, ke boŋ etsɔ eya ŋutɔ viawo sa vɔe le dzo me abe ale si trɔ̃subɔla siwo Yehowa nya le anyigba la dzi be Israel nakpɔ teƒe la wɔna ene.
4 And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
Esa vɔ eye wòdoa dzudzɔ hã le nuxeƒewo le toawo dzi kple le vɔsamlekpui geɖe siwo le atiwo te la dzi.
5 Therefore Jehovah his God gave him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also given into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter.
Nu sia ta Yehowa Mawu tsɔe de asi na Aram fia eye wosii heɖe aboyo eƒe ame geɖewo yi Damasko. Wotsɔe de asi na Israel fia hã, ame si sii vevie ŋutɔ.
6 And Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah a hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all valiant men, because they had forsaken Jehovah the God of their fathers.
Le ŋkeke ɖeka pɛ aɖe dzi la, Peka, Remalia ƒe vi, wu Yudatɔwo ƒe aʋawɔla kalẽtɔ akpe alafa ɖeka blaeve sɔŋ elabena wotrɔ le Yehowa, wo fofowo ƒe Mawu, yome.
7 And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah the second to the king.
Emegbe la, Zikri, aʋawɔla sesẽ aɖe, tso Efraim, wu fiavi, Maaseya kple fia la ƒe kpeɖeŋutɔ, Azrikam kple Elkana, ame si nye ŋusẽtɔ evelia kplɔ fia la ɖo.
8 And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took away also much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.
Israelviwo ƒe aʋakɔwo ɖe aboyo Yudatɔwo ƒe nyɔnu kple ɖevi akpe alafa eve eye woha afunyinu geɖewo tsɔ yi Samaria.
9 But a prophet of Jehovah was there, whose name was Oded; and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because Jehovah the God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he gave them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that reaches up to heaven.
Ke Obed, Yehowa ƒe nyagblɔɖila aɖe nɔ afi ma le Samaria. Èɖado go aʋakɔ si trɔ gbɔna aƒe eye wòdo ɣli be, “Kpɔ ɖa! Yehowa, mia fofowo ƒe Mawu, do dɔmedzoe ɖe Yuda ŋu eye wòna miesi eƒe amewo eye miewu wo nublanuimakpɔmakpɔtɔe. Nu sia medze dziƒo blibo la ŋu o.
10 And now ye think to subjugate the children of Judah and Jerusalem as your bondmen and bondwomen. Are there not with you, even with you, trespasses against Jehovah your God?
Azɔ la, ɖe miele nana ge Yudatɔwo kple Yerusalemtɔwo siaa nazu kluviwoa? Mieɖo ŋku miawo ŋutɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃ gbogbo siwo miewɔ ɖe Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu ŋuti dzi oa?
11 And now hear me, and send back the captives again, whom ye have taken captive of your brethren; for the fierce wrath of Jehovah is upon you.
Miɖo tom eye miagbugbɔ miaƒe ƒometɔwo ayi wo dewoe kpoo elabena azɔ la, Yehowa ƒe dɔmedzoe le bibim sesĩe ɖe mia ŋu.”
12 And certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Hezekiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against them that came from the war,
Efraim ƒe kplɔlawo ƒe amegã aɖewo hã ƒo nu tsi tsitre ɖe nuwɔna sia ŋu. Ame siawoe nye Azaria, Yehohanan ƒe vi kple Berekia, Mesilemɔt ƒe vi kple Yehizkiya, Salum ƒe vi kple Amasa, Hadlai ƒe vi.
13 and said to them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither; because, for our guilt before Jehovah, ye think to increase our sins and our trespasses: for our trespass is great, and fierce wrath is upon Israel.
Wogblɔ be, “Miekpɔ mɔ akplɔ aboyomeawo va afi sia o. Ne miekplɔ wo vɛ la, Yehowa ado dɔmedzoe eye nu vɔ̃ sia akpe ɖe miaƒe nu vɔ̃ bubu geɖeawo ŋu. Dɔmedzoe si Mawu do ɖe mía ŋu la, sɔ gbɔ xoxo.”
14 Then the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation.
Ale asrafomegãwo tsɔ aboyomeawo kple afunyinuawo de asi na dukɔa kplɔlawo be woabu ta me tso nu si woawɔ kple wo la ŋu.
15 And the men that have been expressed by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them on asses, and brought them to Jericho the city of palm-trees, to their brethren. And they returned to Samaria.
Ame ene siwo woyɔ va yi la, ma awuwo tso afunyinuawo me na nyɔnu kple ɖevi siwo hiã awuwo eye wotsɔ afɔkpawo, nuɖuɖu kple wain na wo. Wotsɔ dɔnɔwo kple ame tsitsiwo ɖe tedziwo dzi, gbugbɔ wo yi na woƒe ƒometɔwo le Yeriko, Detiwo Ƒe Du me eye ame siwo kplɔ wo yi la trɔ va Samaria.
16 At that time king Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him.
Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, fia Ahaz dɔ ame ɖo ɖe Asiria fiawo be woava xɔ na ye.
17 And again the Edomites came and smote Judah, and carried away captives.
Edomtɔwo gava dze Yuda dzi eye woɖe aboyo ameawo
18 And the Philistines invaded the cities of the lowland, and of the south of Judah, and took Beth-shemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Socho and its dependent villages, and Timnah and its dependent villages, and Guimzo and its dependent villages; and they dwelt there.
le esime Filistitɔwo va ha du siwo nɔ togbeawo dzi kple esiwo nɔ Negev le Yuda. Woxɔ du siawo: Bet Semes, Aiyalon kple Gederot Timna, Soko kple Gimzo kpakple kɔƒe siwo ƒo xlã wo eye wonɔ wo me.
19 For Jehovah humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he had made Judah lawless, and transgressed much against Jehovah.
Esia va eme elabena Yehowa bɔbɔ Yuda ɖe anyi le Yuda fia, Ahaz ƒe nu vɔ̃ɖiwo wɔwɔ ta elabena egblẽ Yudatɔwo ƒe gbɔgbɔmegbenɔnɔ me eye menɔ Yehowa yome o.
20 And Tilgath-Pilneser king of Assyria came to him, and troubled him, and did not support him.
Ke esi Asiria fia Tilgat Pilneser va ɖo la, eɖe fu na Fia Ahaz le esime wòakpe ɖe eŋu teƒe.
21 For Ahaz stripped the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king and of the princes, and gave to the king of Assyria; but he was of no help to him.
Ale, Ahaz tsɔ nu siwo le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la kple fiasã la me ƒe akpa aɖewo kpakple dɔnunɔlawo tɔ hetsɔ na Asiria fia la gake egbe kpekpe ɖe eŋu.
22 And in the time of his trouble he transgressed yet more against Jehovah, this king Ahaz.
Fia Ahaz ŋlɔ Mawu be le eƒe xaxaɣi sia me.
23 And he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which had smitten him; and he said, Since the gods of the kings of Syria help them, I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.
Esa vɔ na Damaskotɔ siwo ɖu edzi le aʋa me la ƒe mawuwo elabena ebu be, mawu siawoe kpe ɖe Siria fia ŋu eya ta woakpe ɖe ye hã ŋu ne yesa vɔ na wo. Ke mawu mawo boŋue he dzɔgbevɔ̃e va eya ŋutɔ kple Israel katã dzi.
24 And Ahaz gathered the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and closed the doors of the house of Jehovah, and he made for himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
Fia la tsɔ sikatreawo tso gbedoxɔ la me eye wògbã wo kakɛkakɛ. Etu gbedoxɔ la ƒe ʋɔtruwo ale be ame aɖeke magasubɔ Mawu le afi ma o eye wòɖi vɔsamlekpuiwo ɖe Yerusalem ƒe dzogoe ɖe sia ɖe dzi.
25 And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked to anger Jehovah the God of his fathers.
Gawu la, ewɔ nu ma ke le Yuda ƒe du ɖe sia ɖe me eye wòto esia me do dɔmedzoe na Yehowa, wo fofowo ƒe Mawu.
26 And the rest of his acts, and all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Woŋlɔ nu tso Fia Ahazia ƒe agbenɔnɔ kple nuwɔwɔ bubuawo tso gɔmedzedzea va se nuwuwu ŋu ɖe Yuda fiawo kple Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽwo me.
27 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem; but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel. And Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
Esi Fia Ahaz ku la, woɖii ɖe Yerusalem du la me, ke menye ɖe fiawo ƒe ɖiƒe o, eye via Hezekia zu fia ɖe eteƒe.
