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 Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he did not do that which was right in the eyes 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 he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yes, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations, whom Jehovah cast out 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 He sacrificed and burnt incense in 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 king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome 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 Aram recovered Eilat to Aram, and drove the Jews from Eilat; and the Arameans came to Eilat, and lived 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 So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, 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 rise 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 Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent it for 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 The king of Assyria listened to him; and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried its people captive to Kir, and killed Rezin.
Qui et acquievit voluntati eius: ascendit enim rex Assyriorum in Damascum, et vastavit eam: et transtulit habitatores eius Cyrenen, Rasin autem interfecit.
10 King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, and saw the altar that was at Damascus; and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and its pattern, 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 Urijah the priest built an altar: according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so Urijah the priest made it for the coming of king Ahaz 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 When the king had come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king drew near to the altar, and offered on it.
Cumque venisset rex, vidit altare, et veneratus est illud: ascenditque et immolavit holocausta, et sacrificium suum,
13 He burnt his burnt offering and his meal offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, on the altar.
et libavit libamina, et fudit sanguinem pacificorum, quae obtulerat super altare.
14 The bronze altar, which was before Jehovah, he brought from the forefront of the house, from between his altar and the house of Jehovah, and put it on the north side of his altar.
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 King Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, "On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meal offering, and the king's burnt offering, and his meal offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meal offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice; but the bronze 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 Urijah the priest did so, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.
Fecit igitur Urias sacerdos iuxta omnia, quae praeceperat rex Achaz.
17 King Ahaz cut off the panels of the bases, and removed the basin from off them, and took down the sea from off the bronze oxen that were under it, and put it on a pavement of stone.
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 The covered way for the Sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king's entry outside, turned he to the house of Jehovah, because of the king of Assyria.
Musach quoque sabbati, quod aedificaverat in templo: et ingressum regis exterius convertit in templum Domini propter regem Assyriorum.
19 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, aren't they 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 Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
Dormivitque Achaz cum patribus suis, et sepultus est cum eis in Civitate David, et regnavit Ezechias filius eius pro eo.
