2 Kings 16
1 Ahaz, son of Jotham, became king of Judah in the seventeenth year of the reign of Pekah, son of Remaliah.
Wa Peka, pitit Remalya, te gen tan gen disetan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Izrayèl lè Akaz, pitit Jotam, moute wa peyi Jida.
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.
Akaz te gen ventan lè sa a. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan sèzan. Men, li pa t' mache dwat devan Seyè a, Bondye li a, tankou David, zansèt li a, te fè l'.
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.
Li te pito fè tankou wa peyi Izrayèl yo, li menm rive ofri pwòp pitit gason l' pou yo boule pou zidòl yo, dapre vye prensip krimenèl nasyon Seyè a te mete deyò pou fè plas pou moun Izrayèl yo te konn swiv.
4 He sacrificed and presented burnt offerings on the high places and on the hills and under every green tree.
Li fè touye bèt, li boule lansan nan tout tanp zidòl yo sou ti mòn yo ak anba gwo pyebwa.
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.
Se sou reny Akaz, Rezin, wa peyi Siri a, ak Peka, pitit gason Remalya a, wa peyi Izrayèl, mache sou lavil Jerizalèm pou yo atake l'. Yo fèmen Akaz anndan lavil la, men yo pa t' ka pran lavil la.
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.
Se lè sa a wa peyi Edon an pwofite pou reprann lavil Elat nan men moun peyi Jida yo, li mete yo deyò nan lavil la. Se konsa moun Edon yo tounen nan lavil la kote yo rete jouk jounen jòdi a.
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.”
Lè sa a, Akaz voye mesaj bay Tiglat Pilesè, wa peyi Lasiri a, pou di l' konsa: —M'ap sèvi ou tankou pitit ou. Tanpri, vin delivre m' anba men wa peyi Siri a ak wa peyi Izrayèl la ki vin atake m'.
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.
Akaz pran ajan ak lò ki te nan tanp lan ak nan trezò palè wa a, li voye yo fè Tiglat Pilesè, wa peyi Lasiri a, kado.
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.
Wa Lasiri a koute l' vre, li moute al atake lavil Damas, li pran l'. Li depòte tout moun ki te rete la, mennen yo lavil Ki, epi li fè touye Rezin.
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.
Lè wa Akaz te lavil Damas pou l' te kontre ak Tiglat Pilesè, wa peyi Lasiri a, li wè lotèl ki te la a. Li leve plan lotèl la, li voye l' bay Ouri, prèt la.
11 So Uriah the priest built an altar following all the instructions King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, completing it before King Ahaz returned.
Se konsa, Ouri gen tan bati yon lotèl sou modèl wa Akaz te voye ba li soti Damas la anvan menm Akaz tounen soti Damas.
12 When the king came back from Damascus he saw the altar. He went over to it and made offerings on it.
Lè Akaz tounen soti Damas, li wè lotèl la, li pwoche, li moute bò lotèl la.
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.
Li fè boule yon bèt sou li, li fè ofrann grenn jaden. Li vide yon ofrann diven ak san bèt li te ofri pou di mèsi a sou lotèl la tou.
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.
Lotèl an kwiv ki apa pou Seyè a te ant lotèl sa a ak kay Seyè a. Akaz fè deplase l' wete devan Tanp lan, li mete l' sou kote lòt lotèl la sou bò nò.
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.”
Epi Akaz bay Ouri lòd sa a: —Se sou gwo lotèl mwen an pou ou fè ofrann bèt yo boule nèt chak maten an ansanm ak ofrann grenn jaden chak aswè a. Se sou li pou ou fè ofrann bèt pou boule nèt ak ofrann grenn jaden pou wa a ak pou tout pèp la. Se sou li w'a ofri san bèt y'a touye yo ak diven ofrann yo. Se sou li w'a vide san tout bèt yo ofri pou boule nèt ak bèt y'a ofri bay Bondye. Pou lotèl an kwiv la menm, kite sa sou kont mwen.
16 Uriah the priest followed King Ahaz's orders.
Ozyas, prèt la, fè tou sa wa Akaz te ba li lòd fè.
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.
Apre sa, wa Akaz fè demoute kabwa an kwiv yo. Li fè wete gwo basin an kwiv ki te chita sou bèf yo, li fè mete l' sou yon pave wòch.
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.
Lèfini, pou l' te fè wa peyi Lasiri a plezi, li wete platfòm yo te bati anndan Tanp lan pou jou repo a. Li fè fèmen pòt deyò a kote wa a te konn pase pou antre nan Tanp lan.
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.
Tout rès istwa wa Akaz la, tou sa li te fè, n'a jwenn sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo.
20 Ahaz died and was buried with his forefathers in the City of David. His son Hezekiah succeeded him as king.
Lè wa Akaz mouri, yo antere l' menm kote ak zansèt li yo nan Lavil David. Se Ezekyas, pitit li, ki moute wa nan plas li.
