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.
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na mũgwanja wa ũthamaki wa Peka mũrũ wa Remalia, Ahazu mũrũ wa Jothamu mũthamaki wa Juda akĩambĩrĩria gũthamaka.
2 Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he did not that which was right in the eyes of the LORD his God, like David his father.
Ahazu aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtandatũ. Nake ndaigana gwĩka maũndũ magĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova Ngai wake, ta ũrĩa ithe Daudi eekĩte.
3 But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel.
Aathiiaga na mĩthiĩre ya athamaki a Isiraeli, o na akĩruta mũriũ arĩ igongona rĩa njino, akĩrũmĩrĩra njĩra iria irĩ magigi cia ndũrĩrĩ iria Jehova aingatire ciehere mbere ya Isiraeli.
4 And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
Nĩaarutĩire magongona na agĩcinĩra ũbumba kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, na tũcũmbĩrĩ-inĩ twa irĩma, o na rungu rwa mĩtĩ ĩrĩa mĩruru.
5 Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Rezini mũthamaki wa Suriata, na Peka mũrũ wa Remalia mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, makiumagara makahũũrane na Jerusalemu, na makĩrigiicĩria Ahazu, no matiamũtooririe.
6 At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drave the Jews from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there, unto this day.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Rezini mũthamaki wa Suriata agĩtunyana itũũra rĩa Elathu, akĩrĩcookeria Suriata, na akĩingata andũ a Juda. Andũ a Edomu magĩthaamĩra Elathu, na matũire kuo nginya ũmũthĩ.
7 So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, I am thy servant and thy son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, which rise up against me.
Ahazu agĩtũma andũ kũrĩ Tigilathu-Pileseru mũthamaki wa Ashuri makamwĩre atĩrĩ, “Nĩ niĩ ndungata na ngombo yaku. Ambata, ũũke ũũhonokie kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa mũthamaki wa Suriata na mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, arĩa maratharĩkĩra.”
8 And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria.
Nake Ahazu agĩkuua betha na thahabu iria ciarĩ hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova, na igĩĩna-inĩ iria cia nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na agĩcitũma irĩ iheo kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Ashuri.
9 And the king of Assyria hearkened unto him: and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried the [the people of] it captive to Kir, and slew Rezin.
Mũthamaki wa Ashuri agĩĩtĩkĩra na ũndũ wa gũtharĩkĩra itũũra rĩa Dameski na akĩrĩtunyana. Agĩthaamia atũũri akuo akĩmatwara Kiri na akĩũraga Rezini.
10 And 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 the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship thereof.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Mũthamaki Ahazu agĩthiĩ Dameski gũtũngana na Tigilathu-Pileseru mũthamaki wa Ashuri. Nake akĩona kĩgongona kũu Dameski, agĩtũmĩra Uria mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai mũcoro wa kĩgongona kĩu o na mwakĩre wakĩo o ta ũrĩa gĩakĩtwo.
11 And Urijah the priest built an altar: according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so did Urijah the priest make it against king Ahaz came from Damascus.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Uria ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai agĩaka kĩgongona kũringana na ũrĩa wothe aatũmĩirwo, gĩcoretwo nĩ Mũthamaki Ahazu kuuma Dameski, na agĩkĩrĩĩkia mbere ya Mũthamaki Ahazu gũcooka.
12 And when the king was come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king drew near unto the altar, and offered thereon.
Rĩrĩa mũthamaki aacookire kuuma Dameski na akĩona kĩgongona kĩu, agĩkuhĩrĩria na akĩrutĩra igongona igũrũ rĩakĩo.
13 And he burnt his burnt offering and his meal offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, upon the altar.
Akĩruta igongona rĩake rĩa njino na rĩa mũtu, na agĩitĩrĩria indo iria irutagwo cia kũnyuuo na akĩminjaminjĩria kĩgongona kĩu thakame ya maruta ma ũiguano.
14 And the brasen altar, which was before the LORD, he brought from the forefront of the house, from between his altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of his altar.
Nakĩo kĩgongona gĩa gĩcango kĩrĩa kĩarĩ mbere ya Jehova, agĩkĩruta mwena wa na mbere wa hekarũ, kuuma gatagatĩ-inĩ ga kĩgongona kĩu kĩerũ na hekarũ ya Jehova, agĩkĩiga mwena wa gathigathini wa kĩgongona kĩu kĩerũ.
15 And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon 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 upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: but the brasen altar shall be for me to inquire by.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Mũthamaki Ahazu akĩhe Uria ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai mawatho maya: “Igũrũ rĩa kĩgongona kĩu kĩnene kĩerũ, rutagĩra ho iruta rĩa njino rĩa rũciinĩ, na iruta rĩa mũtu rĩa hwaĩ-inĩ, na iruta rĩa mũthamaki rĩa njino, na iruta rĩake rĩa mũtu, na iruta rĩa njino rĩa andũ othe a bũrũri, na iruta rĩao rĩa mũtu na iruta rĩao rĩa kũnyuuo. Na ũminjaminjagĩrie kĩgongona thakame yothe ya maruta ma njino na ya magongona. No kĩgongona gĩa gĩcango, ndĩrĩkĩhũthagĩra na gũtuĩria ũhoro kuuma kũrĩ Jehova.”
16 Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.
Nake Uria ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai agĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Mũthamaki Ahazu aamwathĩte.
17 And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them; and took down the sea from off the brasen oxen that were under it, and put it upon a pavement of stone.
Mũthamaki Ahazu akĩeheria icunjĩ cia mwena-inĩ, na akĩeheria iraĩ kuuma makaari-inĩ macio. Akĩeheria itangi rĩrĩa rĩetagwo Karia igũrũ rĩa mĩhianano ya ndegwa cia gĩcango iria ciakanyiitĩrĩire, na agĩkaigĩrĩra itina-inĩ cia mahiga.
18 And the covered way for the sabbath, that they had built in the house, and the king’s entry without, turned he unto the house of the LORD, because of the king of Assyria.
Nĩeheririe gĩthaku gĩa Thabatũ kĩrĩa gĩakĩtwo hekarũ-inĩ, na agĩthaamia itoonyero rĩa athamaki hau nja ya hekarũ ya Jehova, nĩguo akenie mũthamaki wa Ashuri.
19 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Ahazu, na ũrĩa eekire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Juda?
20 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
Nake Ahazu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, na agĩthikwo hamwe nao Itũũra-inĩ inene rĩa Daudi. Nake mũriũ Hezekia agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
