2 Kings 16
1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah, Ahaz son of Jotham, king of Judah, has reigned.
No te tekau ma whitu o nga tau o Peka tama a Remaria i kingi ai a Ahata tama a Iotama kingi o Hura.
2 Ahaz [is] a son of twenty years in his reigning, and he has reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and he has not done that which [is] right in the eyes of his God YHWH, like his father David,
E rua tekau nga tau o Ahata i a ia ka kingi nei; a kotahi tekau ma ono nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. Na kihai i tika tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, a tona Atua, kihai i rite ki ta tona tupuna, ki ta Rawiri.
3 and he walks in the way of the kings of Israel, and he has also caused his son to pass over into fire, according to the abominations of the nations that YHWH dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel,
Engari i haere ia i te ara o nga kingi o Iharaira, i mea hoki i tana tama kia tika na waenganui o te ahi, kia pera me nga meatanga whakarihariha a nga tauiwi i peia nei e Ihowa i te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira.
4 and he sacrifices and makes incense in high places, and on the heights, and under every green tree.
A i patu whakahere ia, i tahu whakakakara ki nga wahi tiketike, ki nga pukepuke, ki raro i nga rakau kouru nui.
5 Then Rezin king of Aram, and Pekah son of Remaliah, king of Israel, go up to Jerusalem, to battle, and they lay siege to Ahaz, and they have not been able to fight.
Katahi ka haere mai a Retini kingi o Hiria raua ko Peka tama a Remaria kingi o Iharaira ki Hiruharama, whawhai ai. Na whakapaea ana a Ahata e raua, otiia kihai i hinga i a raua.
6 At that time Rezin king of Aram has brought back Elath to Aram, and casts out the Jews from Elath, and the Arameans have come to Elath, and dwell there to this day.
I taua wa ka whakahokia e Retini kingi o Hiria a Erata ki Hiria, a peia ana nga Hurai i Erata: na haere mai ana nga Hiriani ki Erata, a nohoia ana a reira a taea noatia tenei ra.
7 And Ahaz sends messengers to Tiglath-Pileser king of Asshur, saying, “I [am] your servant and your son; come up and save me out of the hand of the king of Aram, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who are rising up against me.”
Heoi tukua ana e Ahata he karere ki a Tikirata Pirehere kingi o Ahiria hei ki atu, He pononga ahau nau, he tama hoki; haere mai, whakaorangia ahau i te ringa o te kingi o Hiria, i te ringa ano o te kingi o Iharaira, kua whakatika mai nei ki ahau.
8 And Ahaz takes the silver and the gold that is found in the house of YHWH, and in the treasures of the house of the king, and sends to the king of Asshur [as] a bribe.
Na ka mau a Ahata ki te hiriwa, ki te koura i kitea ki te whare o Ihowa, ki nga taonga hoki o te whare o te kingi, a tukua ana e ia kia kawea hei hakari ki te kingi o Ahiria.
9 And the king of Asshur listens to him, and the king of Asshur goes up to Damascus, and seizes it, and removes [the people of] it to Kir, and he has put Rezin to death.
Na rongo ana te kingi o Ahiria ki a ia: a haere ana te kingi o Ahiria ki Ramahiku, a riro ana i a ia, whakahekea ana e ia ona tangata ki Kiri, a patua ana a Retini.
10 And King Ahaz goes to meet Tiglath-Pileser king of Asshur [at] Damascus, and sees the altar that [is] in Damascus, and King Ahaz sends to Urijah the priest the likeness of the altar, and its pattern, according to all its work,
Na haere ana a Kingi Ahata ki Ramahiku ki te whakatau i a Tikirata Pirehere kingi o Ahiria, a ka kite i te aata i Ramahiku: na ka tukua e Kingi Ahata ki a Uria tohunga te ahua o taua aata, me tona tauira me ona mahinga katoa.
11 and Urijah the priest builds the altar according to all that King Ahaz has sent from Damascus; so Urijah the priest did until the coming in of King Ahaz from Damascus.
Na ka hanga e te tohunga, e Uria, he aata: rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i tukua mai nei e Kingi Ahata i Ramahiku ta te tohunga, ta Uria i mahi ai, mo te tae rawa mai o Kingi Ahata i Ramahiku.
12 And the king comes in from Damascus, and the king sees the altar, and the king draws near on the altar, and offers on it,
A, no te taenga mai o te kingi i Ramahiku, ka kite te kingi i te aata: a ka whakatata te kingi ki te aata, ka tapae whakahere i runga.
13 and burns his burnt-offering and his present as incense, and pours out his drink-offering, and sprinkles the blood of the peace-offerings that he has, on the altar.
Na ka tahuna e ia tana tahunga tinana me tana whakahere totokore, ka ringihia tana ringihanga, a tauhiuhia ana nga toto o ana whakahere mo te pai ki runga ki te aata.
14 As for the altar of bronze that [is] before YHWH—he brings [it] near from the front of the house, from between the altar and the house of YHWH, and puts it on the side of the altar, northward.
Na, ko te aata parahi, ko tera i te aroaro o Ihowa, nekehia mai ana e ia i mua o te whare, i te takiwa o tana aata, o te whare o Ihowa, a whakaturia ana ki te taha tuaraki o tana aata.
15 And King Ahaz commands him—Urijah the priest—saying, “On the great altar burn as incense the burnt-offering of the morning, and the present of the evening, and the burnt-offering of the king, and his present, and the burnt-offering of all the people of the land, and their present, and their drink-offerings; and all the blood of the burnt-offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice, you sprinkle on it, and the altar of bronze is for me to inquire [by].”
A ka whakahau a Kingi Ahata i te tohunga, i a Uria, ka mea, Tahuna ki te aata nui te tahunga tinana o te ata, te whakahere totokore o te ahiahi, te tahunga tinana a te kingi, me tana whakahere totokore, te tahunga tinana hoki a te iwi katoa o te whenua, me ta ratou whakahere totokore me a ratou ringihanga; a me tauhiuhi ano ki reira nga toto katoa o te tahunga tinana, me nga toto katoa o te patunga tapu: engari ko te aata parahi hei mea ui maku.
16 And Urijah the priest does according to all that King Ahaz commanded.
Na rite tonu ta Uria tohunga i mea ai ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua e Kingi Ahata.
17 And King Ahaz cuts off the borders of the bases, and turns aside the laver from off them, and he has taken down the sea from off the bronze oxen that [are] under it, and puts it on a pavement of stones.
I tapahia hoki e Kingi Ahata nga awhi o nga turanga, tangohia ana e ia te takotoranga wai o runga o aua mea; i tangohia ano e ia te moana i runga i nga kau parahi, i era i raro i taua moana, a whakatakotoria ana ki runga ki te whariki kohatu;
18 And the covered place for the Sabbath that they built in the house, and the entrance of the king outside, he turned [from] the house of YHWH, because of the king of Asshur.
A ko te taupoki mo te hapati i hanga nei ki roto ki te whare, me te tomokanga o te kingi i waho, whakaangahia ana e ia ki te whare o Ihowa, he whakaaro ki te kingi o Ahiria.
19 And the rest of the matters of Ahaz that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Na, ko era atu meatanga i mea ai a Ahata, kihai ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?
20 And Ahaz lies with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the City of David, and his son Hezekiah reigns in his stead.
Na ka moe a Ahata ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki ona matua, ki te pa o Rawiri: a ko Hetekia, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.
