2 Kings 16
1 Ahaz, son of Jotham, became king of Judah in the seventeenth year of the reign of Pekah, son of Remaliah.
Israel lengpa Pekah in lengvai ahop kal kum somle sagi lhinin, Jotham chapa Ahaz chun Judah gam’ah lengvai ahin hom pantan ahi.
2 Ahaz was twenty when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years. But unlike David his forefather, he did not do what was right in the sight of the Lord his God.
Ahaz chu leng achan chun kum somni alhingtan ahi. Aman Jerusalem’ah kum somle gup sungin lengvai ana hom’in ahi. Aman apu David khunung ajuijin Pathen Pakai mitmu’n thilpha jeng ana bolpon ahi.
3 He followed the ways of the kings of Israel, and he even sacrificed his son in the fire, participating in the disgusting practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.
Hichesang chun, Israel lengho umchan teho ana juiyin, achapatah jeng jong kilhaina dingin ana tohdoh in ahi. Hiti chun aman Pathenin Israel mite masanga ana deldoh peh’u Pathen neilou nam mite thet umtah thil anabolji houchu ana juitan ahi.
4 He sacrificed and presented burnt offerings on the high places and on the hills and under every green tree.
Aman kilhaina gantha anabollin, doi phung leh thinglhang chunglah thingdo-eng noi tinnah gimnamtui ana lhut’in ahi.
5 Rezin, king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came and attacked Jerusalem. They besieged Ahaz but couldn't defeat him.
Hijou chun Syria lengpa Rezin leh Israel lengpa Pekah chu Jerusalem sat dingin ahungtou lhontan ahi. Amanin Ahaz anokhum lhonin ahinlah ana jou lhonpon ahi.
6 This was when Rezin, king of Aram, recovered Elath for Edom. He expelled the people of Judah, and sent Edomites to Elath, where they still live to this day.
Hichelai phat tah chun Edom lengpan Elath khopi chu Edom mite dingin agalelah kittan ahi. Aman Judah techu adeldoh in Edom mite chu-achun achen lutsah in, tuni geijin achengun ahi.
7 Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, saying, “I'm your servant, and your son. Please come and rescue me from the kings of Aram and Israel who are attacking me.”
Ahaz lengpan Assyria lengpa Tiglath-pileser chu thu athot in, “Keima hi nanoija um nasoh kahin, hungtou vinlang Israel lengpa le Syria lengpan eihung delkhum lhonna akon hin neihung huhdoh’in,” atin ahi.
8 Ahaz took the silver and gold from the Lord's Temple and from the treasuries of the king's palace, and he sent it to the king of Assyria as a gift.
Hijou chun Ahaz in Pakai houin’a konin sana, dangka holeh leng inpia sumlepai kholna a konin sana le dagka ho achomkhom in Assyria lengpa chu athot tan ahi.
9 The king of Assyria responded positively to him. He went and attacked Damascus, and captured it. He deported its inhabitants to Kir and executed Rezin.
Hiti chun Assyria lengpan Syria khopi Damascus chu anokhum’in amipite chu gal hingin akaijin Kir gamsungah achen sah tan ahi. Aman Rezin lengpa jong chu athat’in ahi.
10 King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-Pileser, king of Assyria. During his visit he saw an altar in Damascus, and he sent Uriah the priest a drawing of the altar, along with instructions how to build it.
Ahaz lengpa chu Assyria lengpa Tiglath-pileser toh kimuto dingin Damascus a achen ahi. Hilai munna aum petchun, aman maicham phung kiboldan hochu aven amelchih in, hijouchun aman alimdan hochu hoitah in ajih doh in Uriah thempupa chu athot tan ahi.
11 So Uriah the priest built an altar following all the instructions King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, completing it before King Ahaz returned.
Uriah chun lengpan ahilna ajuijin, maicham phungkhat alim ahung kithot taobang bang chun ana semdoh in, lengpa Damascus akona ahung kile tengleh avet dingin gonsan akoitan ahi.
12 When the king came back from Damascus he saw the altar. He went over to it and made offerings on it.
Lengpa ahung kilephat’in, hiche maicham phung chu aga kholchil in, hichun pumgo thilto abolpai tai.
13 He presented his burnt offering and his grain offering, he poured out his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his friendship offerings on it.
Aman pumgo thilto atoh in, lhosoh thilto jong atoh in, lengpithei thilto jong achunga asunglhan chuleh maicham chunga chun chamna thilto thisan jong athe khum in ahi.
14 He also moved the bronze altar that stood before the Lord from the front of the Temple, between the new altar and the Lord's Temple, and he placed it to the north of the new altar.
Hijou chun Ahaz lengpan maicham thah leh lutna lampi kikah aum Pakai houin maija um sum-englui maicham chu aladoh in, maicham thahpa sahlanga chun achontan ahi.
15 Then King Ahaz ordered Uriah the priest: “Use this new important altar to offer the morning burnt offering, the evening grain offering, the king's burnt offering and grain offering, and the burnt offering of all the people, and their grain offerings and their drink offerings. Sprinkle on this altar the blood of all the burnt offerings and sacrifices. The old bronze altar I'll use for divination.”
Aman Uriah thempupa kom’ah chun, “Hiche maicham thahpa hi, jingkah a pumgo thilto kihalna dingleh, nilhah lang’a lhohsoh thilto ho to nading, lengpa pumgo thilto tonading, chuleh mipitehojouse pumgo thitona chuleh lhohso thilto leh atuija kisunglha tonading ahi. Govam thilto hole pumgo thilto jouse a kona athisan chu maicham thah chunga hi athisan nathekhum ding ahi. Sum-eng maicham vang hi keima chang maicham ding ahi,” ati.
16 Uriah the priest followed King Ahaz's orders.
Uriah thempupan jong Ahaz lengpan aseipeh bang bangin abollin ahi.
17 King Ahaz also removed the frames of the movable carts, and also took out the bronze basin from each of them. He removed the Sea from the bronze bulls it rested on and placed it on a stone pedestal.
Ahaz lengpa chun Houin a kimang sum-eng kangtalai ho chengse chu aphelhan, hichea kon chun kisilna kongchu atoldoh paijin anoija kidinsah sum-eng bongchal ho chunga konin twikong chu adom lhan, chuin song inbul khat ah akoitai.
18 He took down the Sabbath canopy they had built in the Temple, as well as the king's outer entrance to the Lord's Temple. He did this to please the king of Assyria.
Assyria lengpa lunglhai sah tei ding gotnan, Ahaz lengpan houin sung a kisa, cholngah nikhoa lengte thusei nap hung aladoh in, chujongle houin sunga lengpa achengseh lutna kotpi geiyin atoldoh sohtai.
19 The rest of what happened in Ahaz's reign and all he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
Ahaz vaihom sunga thilsoh jouseleh aman anatoh ho aboncha Judah lengte thusim bua kijihlut sohkei ahi.
20 Ahaz died and was buried with his forefathers in the City of David. His son Hezekiah succeeded him as king.
Ahaz athi phat’in David khopia apu apate kivuina munah avui tauvin ahi. Hijouchun achapa Hezekiah chu ama khellin lengmun alotan ahi.
