2 Kings 16
1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah, began Ahaz son of Jotham king of Judah 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, sixteen years, reigned he in Jerusalem. And he did not that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh 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 walked in the way of the kings of Israel, —moreover also, me made, his son, pass through the fire, according to the abominable practices of the nations, whom Yahweh dispossessed from before the sons 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 offered sacrifice and burned 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, came up Rezin king of Syria, and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to make war, —and they laid siege against 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 wholly cleared out the Jews from Eloth, —and, the Syrians, entered Elath, and have 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 unto Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, Thy servant and thy son, I am, —Come up and save me, out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who are rising 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 the gold that was found in the house of Yahweh, and in the treasuries of the house of the king, —and sent them to the king of Assyria, as a bribe.
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 So the king of Assyria hearkened unto him, and the king of Assyria came up unto Damascus, and seized it, and carried away the people thereof captive to Kir, —and put Rezin, to death.
Mũthamaki wa Ashuri agĩĩtĩkĩra na ũndũ wa gũtharĩkĩra itũũra rĩa Dameski na akĩrĩtunyana. Agĩthaamia atũũri akuo akĩmatwara Kiri na akĩũraga Rezini.
10 So then King Ahaz went to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, in Damascus, and saw the altar which was in Damascus, —and King Ahaz, sent unto Urijah the priest, a likeness of the altar, and a model thereof, 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 sent from Damascus, so, did Urijah the priest make it, by the time 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 came from Damascus, then the king saw the altar, —so the king drew near unto the altar, and caused offerings to ascend thereupon.
Rĩrĩa mũthamaki aacookire kuuma Dameski na akĩona kĩgongona kĩu, agĩkuhĩrĩria na akĩrutĩra igongona igũrũ rĩakĩo.
13 And he made perfume with his ascending-sacrifice, and with his meal-offering, and poured out his drink-offering, —and dashed the blood of the peace-offerings which he had, 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 altar of bronze which was before Yahweh, he brought away from the forefront of the house, from between the altar, and the house of Yahweh, —and put it at the side of the altar northward.
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, make thou perfume with the ascending-sacrifice of the morning, and with the meal-offering of the evening, and with the ascending-sacrifice of the king and with his meal-offering, and with the ascending-sacrifice of all the people of the land, and their meal-offering and their drink-offering, and, all the blood of the ascending-offering, and all the blood of the [peace] offering, thereupon, shalt thou dash, —but, the altar of bronze, shall be for me to inquire [into].
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 So Urijah the priest did 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 side walls of the stands, and took away from off them the laver, and, the sea, took he down from off the oxen of bronze, which were under it, —and set it on a pavement of stones.
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 Also, the covered walk for the Sabbath, which they had built in the house, and the outer entrance for the king, he changed in the house of Yahweh, —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 story of Ahaz, what he did, is, it, 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.
