2 Chronicles 28
1 Ahaz was twentie yeere old when he began to reigne, and reigned sixteene yeere in Ierusalem, and did not vprightly in the sight of the Lord, like Dauid his father.
Viginti annorum erat Achaz cum regnare coepisset: et sedecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem: non fecit rectum in conspectu Domini sicut David pater eius:
2 But he walked in the wayes of ye Kings of Israel, and made euen molten images for Baalim.
sed ambulavit in viis regum Israel, insuper et statuas fudit Baalim.
3 Moreouer he burnt incense in the valley of Ben-hinnom, and burnt his sonnes with fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.
Ipse est, qui adolevit incensum in Valle benennom, et lustravit filios suos in igne iuxta ritum gentium, quas interfecit Dominus in adventu filiorum Israel.
4 He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the hie places, and on hilles, and vnder euery greene tree.
Sacrificabat quoque, et thymiama succendebat in excelsis, et in collibus, et sub omni ligno frondoso.
5 Wherefore the Lord his God deliuered him into the hand of the King of the Aramites, and they smote him, and tooke of his, many prisoners, and brought them to Damascus: and he was also deliuered into the hande of the King of Israel, which smote him with a great slaughter.
Tradiditque eum Dominus Deus eius in manu regis Syriae, qui percussit eum, magnamque praedam cepit de eius imperio, et adduxit in Damascum: manibus quoque regis Israel traditus est, et percussus plaga grandi.
6 For Pekah the sonne of Remaliah slewe in Iudah sixe score thousand in one day, all valiant men, because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers.
Occiditque Phacee, filius Romeliae, de Iuda centum viginti millia in die uno, omnes viros bellatores: eo quod reliquissent Dominum Deum patrum suorum.
7 And Zichri a mighty man of Ephraim slew Maaseiah the Kings sonne, and Azrikam the gouernour of the house, and Elkanah the second after the King.
Eodem tempore occidit Zechri, vir potens ex Ephraim, Maasiam filium regis, et Ezricam ducem domus eius, Elcanam quoque secundum a rege.
8 And the children of Israel tooke prisoners of their brethren, two hudreth thousand of women, sonnes and daughters, and caried away much spoyle of them, and brought the spoyle to Samaria.
Ceperuntque filii Israel de fratribus suis ducenta millia mulierum, puerorum, et puellarum, et infinitam praedam: pertuleruntque eam in Samariam.
9 But there was a Prophet of the Lordes, (whose name was Oded) and he went out before the hoste that came to Samaria, and said vnto them, Behold, because the Lord God of your fathers is wroth with Iudah, he hath deliuered them into your hand, and ye haue slaine them in a rage, that reacheth vp to heauen.
Ea tempestate erat ibi propheta Domini, nomine Obed: qui egressus obviam exercitui venienti in Samariam, dixit eis: Ecce iratus Dominus Deus patrum vestrorum contra Iuda, tradidit eos in manibus vestris, et occidistis eos atrociter, ita ut ad caelum pertingeret vestra crudelitas.
10 And nowe ye purpose to keepe vnder the children of Iudah and Ierusalem, as seruants and handmaides vnto you: but are not you such, that sinnes are with you before the Lord your God?
Insuper filios Iuda, et Ierusalem vultis vobis subiicere in servos et ancillas. quod nequaquam facto opus est: peccastis enim super hoc Domino Deo vestro.
11 Nowe therefore heare me, and deliuer the captiues againe, which ye haue taken prisoners of your brethren: for the fierce wrath of the Lord is toward you.
Sed audite consilium meum, et reducite captivos, quos adduxistis de fratribus vestris, quia magnus furor Domini imminet vobis.
12 Wherefore certaine of the chiefe of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the sonne of Iehohanan, Berechiah the sonne of Meshillemoth, and Iehizkiah the sonne of Shallum, and Amasa the sonne of Hadlai, stood vp against them that came from the warre,
Steterunt itaque viri de principibus filiorum Ephraim, Azarias filius Iohanan, Barachias filius Mosollamoth, Ezechias filius Sellum, et Amasa filius Hadali, contra eos, qui veniebant de praelio,
13 And said vnto them, Bring not in the captiues hither: for this shalbe a sinne vpon vs against the Lord: ye entende to adde more to our sinnes and to our trespasse, though our trespasse be great, and the fierce wrath of God is against Israel.
et dixerunt eis: Non introducetis huc captivos, ne peccemus Domino. Quare vultis adiicere super peccata nostra, et vetera cumulare delicta? grande quippe peccatum est, et ira furoris Domini imminet super Israel.
14 So the armie left the captiues and the spoyle before the princes and all the Congregation.
Dimiseruntque viri bellatores praedam, et universa quae ceperant coram principibus, et omni multitudine.
15 And the men that were named by name, rose vp and tooke the prisoners, and with the spoyle clothed all that were naked among them, and arayed them, and shod them, and gaue them meate, and gaue them drinke, and anoynted them, and caryed all that were feeble of them vpon asses, and brought them to Iericho the citie of Palme trees to their brethren: so they returned to Samaria.
Steteruntque viri, quos supra memoravimus, et apprehendentes captivos, omnesque qui nudi erant, vestierunt de spoliis: cumque vestissent eos, et calceassent, et refecissent cibo ac potu, unxissentque propter laborem, et adhibuissent eis curam: quicumque ambulare non poterant, et erant imbecillo corpore, imposuerunt eos iumentis, et adduxerunt Iericho Civitatem palmarum ad fratres eorum, ipsique reversi sunt in Samariam.
16 At that time did King Ahaz sende vnto the Kings of Asshur, to helpe him.
Tempore illo misit rex Achaz ad regem Assyriorum, postulans auxilium.
17 (For the Edomites came moreouer, and slew of Iudah, and caryed away captiues.
Veneruntque Idumaei, et percusserunt multos ex Iuda, et ceperunt praedam magnam.
18 The Philistims also inuaded the cities in the low countrey, and toward the South of Iudah, and tooke Bethshemesh, and Aialon, and Gederoth and Shocho, with the villages thereof, and Timnah, with her villages, and Gimzo, with her villages, and they dwelt there.
Philisthiim quoque diffusi sunt per urbes campestres, et ad Meridiem Iuda: ceperuntque Bethsames, et Aialon, et Gaderoth, Socho quoque, et Thamnan, et Gamzo, cum viculis suis, et habitaverunt in eis.
19 For the Lord had humbled Iudah, because of Ahaz King of Israel: for he had brought vengeance vpon Iudah, and had grieuously transgressed against the Lord)
Humiliaverat enim Dominus Iudam propter Achaz regem Iuda, eo quod nudasset eum auxilio, et contemptui habuisset Dominum.
20 And Tilgath Pilneeser king of Asshur came vnto him, who troubled him and did not strengthen him.
Adduxitque contra eum Thelgathphalnasar regem Assyriorum, qui et afflixit eum, et nullo resistente vastavit.
21 For Ahaz tooke a portion out of the house of the Lord and out of the Kings house and of the Princes, and gaue vnto the king of Asshur: yet it helped him not.
Igitur Achaz spoliata domo Domini, et domo regum, ac principum, dedit regi Assyriorum munera, et tamen nihil ei profuit.
22 And in ye time of his tribulation did he yet trespasse more against ye Lord, (this is King Ahaz)
Insuper et tempore angustiae suae auxit contemptum in Dominum, ipse per se rex Achaz,
23 For he sacrificed vnto the gods of Damascus, which plagued him, and he sayd, Because the gods of the Kings of Aram helped them, I wil sacrifice vnto them, and they will helpe me: yet they were his ruine, and of all Israel.
immolavit diis Damasci victimas percussoribus suis, et dixit: Dii regum Syriae auxiliantur eis, quos ego placabo hostiis, et aderunt mihi, cum econtrario ipsi fuerint ruinae ei, et universo Israel.
24 And Ahaz gathered the vessels of ye house of God, and brake the vessels of the house of God, and shut vp the doores of the house of the Lord, and made him altars in euery corner of Ierusalem.
Direptis itaque Achaz omnibus vasis domus Dei, atque confractis, clausit ianuas templi Dei, et fecit sibi altaria in universis angulis Ierusalem.
25 And in euery citie of Iudah hee made hie places, to burne incense vnto other gods, and prouoked to anger the Lord God of his fathers.
In omnibus quoque urbibus Iuda extruxit aras ad cremandum thus, atque ad iracundiam provocavit Dominum Deum patrum suorum.
26 Concerning the rest of his actes, and all his wayes first and last, beholde, they are written in the booke of the Kings of Iudah, and Israel.
Reliqua autem sermonum eius, et omnium operum suorum priorum et novissimorum scripta sunt in Libro regum Iuda et Israel.
27 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the citie of Ierusalem, but brought him not vnto the sepulchres of the Kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his sonne reigned in his stead.
Dormivitque Achaz cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in civitate Ierusalem: neque enim receperunt eum in sepulchra regum Israel. Regnavitque Ezechias filius eius pro eo.
