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.
Anno decimo septimo Phacee filii Romeliae regnavit Achaz filius Ioatham regis Iuda.
2 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 his God, like David his father,
Viginti annorum erat Achaz cum regnare coepisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem: non fecit quod erat placitum in conspectu Domini Dei sui, sicut David pater eius.
3 but walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and even caused his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel.
sed ambulavit in via regum Israel: insuper et filium suum consecravit, transferens per ignem secundum idola Gentium, quae dissipavit Dominus coram filiis Israel.
4 And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
Immolabat quoque victimas, et adolebat incensum in excelsis, et in collibus, et sub omni ligno frondoso.
5 Then Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah son of Remaliah, the king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to battle; and they besieged Ahaz, but were unable to conquer him.
Tunc ascendit Rasin rex Syriae, et Phacee filius Romeliae rex Israel in Ierusalem ad praeliandum: cumque obsiderent Achaz, non valuerunt superare eum.
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 dwelt there to this day.
In tempore illo restituit Rasin rex Syriae, Ailam Syriae, et eiecit Iudaeos de Aila: et Idumaei venerunt in Ailam, et habitaverunt ibi usque in diem hanc.
7 And Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria, saying, I am thy servant and thy 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 have risen up against me.
Misit autem Achaz nuncios ad Theglathphalasar regem Assyriorum, dicens: Servus tuus, et filius tuus ego sum: ascende, et salvum me fac de manu regis Syriae, et de manu regis Israel, qui consurrexerunt adversum me.
8 And Ahaz took the silver and the gold that was found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent it [as] a present to the king of Assyria.
Et cum collegisset argentum et aurum, quod inveniri potuit in domo Domini, et in thesauris regis, misit regi Assyriorum munera.
9 And the king of Assyria hearkened to him; and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried it captive to Kir, and put Rezin to death.
Qui et acquievit voluntati eius: ascendit enim rex Assyriorum in Damascum, et vastavit eam: et transtulit habitatores eius Cyrenen, Rasin autem interfecit.
10 And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria; and he saw the altar that was at Damascus, and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the form of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all its workmanship.
Perrexitque rex Achaz in occursum Theglathphalasar regis Assyriorum in Damascum. cumque vidisset altare Damasci, misit rex Achaz ad Uriam sacerdotem exemplar eius, et similitudinem iuxta omne opus eius.
11 And Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus; thus Urijah the priest made [it], against king Ahaz came from Damascus.
Extruxitque Urias sacerdos altare iuxta omnia, quae praeceperat rex Achaz, de Damasco, ita fecit sacerdos Urias, donec veniret rex Achaz de Damasco.
12 And when the king came from Damascus, the king saw the altar; and the king approached to the altar, and offered upon it.
Cumque venisset rex, vidit altare, et veneratus est illud: ascenditque et immolavit holocausta, et sacrificium suum,
13 And he burned his burnt-offering and his oblation, and poured out his drink-offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace-offering upon the altar.
et libavit libamina, et fudit sanguinem pacificorum, quae obtulerat super altare.
14 And the brazen altar which was before Jehovah, he brought forward from the forefront of the house, from between [his] altar and the house of Jehovah, and put it by the side of [his] altar on the north.
Porro altare aereum, quod erat coram Domino, transtulit de facie templi, et de loco altaris, et de loco templi Domini: posuitque illud ex latere altaris ad Aquilonem.
15 And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt-offering, and the evening oblation, and the king's burnt-offering, and his oblation, and the burnt-offering of all the people of the land, and their oblation, and their drink-offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt-offerings, and all the blood of the sacrifices; and the brazen altar shall be for me to inquire [by].
Praecepit quoque rex Achaz Uriae sacerdoti, dicens: Super altare maius offer holocaustum matutinum, et sacrificium vespertinum, et holocaustum regis, et sacrificium eius, et holocaustum universi populi terrae, et sacrificia eorum, et libamina eorum: et omnem sanguinem holocausti, et universum sanguinem victimae super illud effundes: altare vero aereum erit paratum ad voluntatem meam.
16 And Urijah the priest did according to all that king Ahaz had commanded.
Fecit igitur Urias sacerdos iuxta omnia, quae praeceperat rex Achaz.
17 And king Ahaz cut off the panels of the bases, and removed the lavers from off them; and took down the sea from off the brazen oxen that were under it, and put it upon a stone pavement.
Tulit autem rex Achaz caelatas bases, et luterem, qui erat desuper: et mare deposuit de bobus aereis, qui sustentabant illud, et posuit super pavimentum stratum lapide.
18 And the covered way of the sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king's entry outside, he turned from the house of Jehovah on account of the king of Assyria.
Musach quoque sabbati, quod aedificaverat in templo: et ingressum regis exterius convertit in templum Domini propter regem Assyriorum.
19 And the rest of the acts of Ahaz, what he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Reliqua autem verborum Achaz, quae fecit, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Iuda?
20 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
Dormivitque Achaz cum patribus suis, et sepultus est cum eis in Civitate David, et regnavit Ezechias filius eius pro eo.
