2 Chronicles 28
1 Ahaz was 20 years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. His ancestor King David was a good king, but Ahaz was not like David. He constantly disobeyed Yahweh
Ahaz hi leng ahungchan chun kum 20 alhingtaan ahi, amahin kum 16 sungin Jerusalemma vai anahomin ahi. Amahin apa Davidnin ana bolbangin Pakai mitmun thildih anabol pon ahi
2 and was as sinful as the kings of Israel had been. He made idols of the god Baal.
Amahin Israel lengte chondaan nin anachonin Baal doi lim ho anasemdoh in ahi
3 He burned incense in Hinnom Valley. He even [killed some of] his own sons [and] offered [them] as sacrifices to be completely burned. That imitated the disgusting customs of the people-groups who previously lived there, people whom Yahweh had expelled as the Israelis advanced through the land.
Amahin hinnom chapa phaigamma chun gimnamtwi meiya analhut nammin, achate meijah anagouvin doi houna in pumgo thiltonan anamangin, Israel te hung kijotna gamma konna Pakaiin ana nodoh nam mite chonna kidah umtah chonnin ana chonnin ahi
4 Ahaz offered sacrifices [to idols] at shrines on hilltops and under every big green tree.
Aman munsang dungleh, molchung dungah chuleh thingphung noi tinnah pumgo thilto ana bollin gimnamtwi analhut nammin ahi
5 Therefore Yahweh his God allowed his army to be defeated by the army of the king of Syria. They captured many soldiers of Judah and took them as prisoners to Damascus. The army of the king of Israel also defeated the army of Judah and killed very many of their soldiers.
Hitobanga achonphat ahin Pakai Pathennin Syria lengpa khutnah anapeh dohtaan ahi. Amahon ajophatnin mitamtah gal hingin ahin kaijun Damascas lang alhut taove hiche jouchun amachu Israel lengpa khutna pehlut nin aummin Ahaz in gal alaltaan mitamtah jong athiovin ahi
6 In one day the army of Remaliah’s son, King Pekah [of Israel], killed 120,000 soldiers in Judah. That happened because [the people of] Judah had abandoned Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped].
Ramaliah chapa Pekah chun Judah techu nikhat sungin mihangsan cheh 120,000 athat nin ahi, ajeh chu amahon apu apateo Pakai Pathen chu anasuh mil jeh u ahi
7 Zicri, a warrior from the tribe of Ephraim, killed king Ahaz’s son Maaseiah, Azrikam the officer in charge of the palace, and Elkanah, the king’s assistant.
Mi mihattah Zichri kitipa chun lengpa chapa Maaseiah chu athatnin, khopi sunga vaihomma pang Azrikam leh lengpa dinga sepai lamkai anichanna Elkanah jong athatnin ahi
8 The soldiers of Israel captured 200,000 of the people of Judah, including many wives and sons and daughters [of the soldiers of Judah]. They also seized and took back to Samaria many valuable things.
Israel tedinga Judah techu asopi teo ahivangin Israel sepaiten numei chapang 200,000 galhingn amannun achomdoh u thil keo tamtah toh Samaria gammah galhingin akaijun ahi
9 But a prophet of Yahweh whose name was Obed was there [in Samaria]. He went out of the city to meet the army when it returned to Samaria. He said to them, “Because Yahweh, the God whom your ancestors [belonged to], was angry with [the people of] Judah, he allowed you to defeat them. But God has seen the cruel way that you slaughtered them.
Ahin Oded kiti Pakai themgao pachu Samaria sepaiho komma chun achen hitin agaseije: “Veovin napu napateo Pa Pathen chu Judah te chunga alunghan jeh a amahochu nangho khutna ahin pehlut ahi, ahinlah nanghon lungkhen louhellin nathatnun apen ginnu kakom ahung lhungpeh in ahi
10 And now you want to [sin by] causing men and women from Judah to become your slaves, but you have certainly also sinned against Yahweh our God!
Tunjong nanghon Judah leh Jerusalem mite chu pasal ahin numei ahiovin nasohun napansah gotaovin ahinlah nanghojong hi Pakai na Pathennu maija chonse nahilou uham?
11 So listen to me! Send back [to Judah] your fellow-countrymen whom you have captured, because Yahweh is extremely angry with you [for what you did to them].”
“Tun kaseihi ngaijun nasopi tehochu galhinga namat houchu nungsolkit taovin ajeh chu nachunguvah Pakai alunghang taan ahi.
12 Then some of the leaders of [the tribe of] Ephraim—Azariah the son of Jehohanan, Berekiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai—rebuked those who were returning from the battle.
Hichun Ephraim chate lah a miupa phabep hochu adingdoh un, Jehohanan chapa Azariah, Meshillemoth chapa Berekiah, Shallum chapa Jehizkiah, Hadlai chapa Amasa chu adingdoh un galsat hungkile hochu akimai to piovin hitin aseijun ahi
13 They said to them, “You must not bring those prisoners here! If you do that, Yahweh will consider that we are guilty of sinning. We are already guilty of committing many sins; do you want to cause us to be even more guilty by committing another sin? God is already very angry with [us people of] Israel!”
Nanghon galhinga mi nahin kailutlou diu ahi: “Nanghon ichonsetnao nabelapmun galhingin mi nahin kaitaovin ahi, eihon nasatah in Pathen Israel chungah Ilunghan sah jeng taovin ahi” atiove
14 So, while their leaders and others were watching, the soldiers released the prisoners, and also gave back to them the valuable things that they had captured.
Hichun thalchoi sepai hochun amimat houleh athil chomdoh hochu khopi lamkaiho masanga chun ahin koitaovin ahi
15 The leaders who were selected took some of the clothes that the soldiers had taken from the prisoners and gave those clothes back to the people who were naked. They also gave to the prisoners sandals and other clothes and things to eat and drink, and they gave them olive oil to rub on their wounds. They gave donkeys to those who were very weak, in order that they could ride on them. Then they led them all to Jericho, the city that had many palm trees. Then those leaders [of Israel] returned to Samaria.
Amincheh a kipanna kinganse hochu ahungding dohun thilkeo kichomdoh holeh galhinga kiman hochu ahin puidoh un akeova umhochu von avonpehun sandel asepehun anneh twidon apeovin thaojong anupehun ahi. Alhasam hochu sangan chungah atousah un hitichun jubiphung khopi Jericho – a asopihou kom geichu ahungthah un ahi. Hichea konchun Samaria a akile taove
16 About that time, King Ahaz sent [a message] to the king of Assyria requesting help.
Hichephat laichun Ahaz lengpan Assyriah lengpa chu akitho pidingin atemmin ahileh anompon ahi
17 [He did that because the army from] the Edom people-group had come again and attacked Judah and taken away many of the people of Judah as prisoners.
Ajeh chu Edom mite ahungun Judah chu ahinbulu uvin galhingin amannun akaitaovin ahi
18 At the same time, men from Philistia had raided/attacked towns in the foothills and in the southern desert of Judah. They had captured Beth-Shemesh, Aijalon, and Gederoth [cities], as well as Soco, Timnah and Gimzo [towns] and the nearby villages.
Philistine tejong ahungun Judah phaicham leh lhanglam ahin bulu uvin, Beth Shemesh, Ajalon, Gederoth, Shocho thinglhang khoho chuleh Gimzo leh thinglhang kho hochu alonvuh un achenkhum taove
19 Yahweh [allowed those things to happen in order to] humble king Ahaz, because he had encouraged the people of Judah to do wicked things and had disobeyed Yahweh very much.
Ajeh chu Judah lengpa Ahaz in a mite chan asuhboipeh a Pakai douna na atohjeh a Pakaiyin Judah tehi a engbol ahi
20 Tiglath-Pileser, the king of Assyria, sent [his army saying that they would] help Ahaz, but instead of helping him, they caused him to experience trouble.
Assyria lengpan Ahaz hi kithopi tahsangin adouvin apangjon asugim jon ahi
21 Ahaz’s [soldiers] took some of the [valuable] things from the temple and from the king’s palace and from other leaders of Judah and sent them to the king of Assyria [to pay him to help them], but the king of Assyria refused to help Ahaz.
Hijehcun Ahaz hin houin na kon leh, khopia kon in chuleh mipi lamkai ho kon in Sana ana chomkhom min Assyria lengpa chu anapen, ahivangin aman ana kithopi dehpoi
22 While King Ahaz was experiencing those troubles, he disobeyed Yahweh even more.
Hahsat na akhon geija atotah vang'in Ahaz hin Pakai doumah abolbe jingin ahi
23 He offered sacrifices to the gods that were worshiped in Damascus, whose [army] had defeated his [army]. He thought, “The gods that are worshiped by the kings of Syria have helped them, so I will offer sacrifices to those gods in order that they will help me.” But worshiping those gods caused Ahaz and all of Israel to be ruined.
Amahin achunga galhin bolla ahinjou chuleh ahin sugenthei Assyria mite semthu pathen ho kommah pumgo thilto abollin kilhaina asemmin ahi, aman aseijin “Syria pathen hon Syria lengho akithopin ahi, hijeh chun kenjong hiche pathen ho kommahin kilhaina semleng keijong eikithopi diu ahi” ati. Ahinlah hichehin ama le amite chungah hahsatna alhunbe jon ahi
24 Ahaz gathered all the furnishings [that were used] in the temple and broke them into pieces. He locked the doors of the temple and set up altars [for worshiping idols] at every street corner in Jerusalem.
Hiche bannahjong hin aman Pathen in na thilkeo ho jouse achu alaan asugoi sohkeijin chuin houin kotchu akhah in Jerusalem khopi muntinah doiphung atungdoh in ahi
25 In every town in Judah, his workers built shrines to burn sacrifices to other gods, and that caused Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped], to be very angry.
Judah gamma khopi leh khopi neo ho munjousea semthu pathen houna atungdoh in gimnamtwi ho ahalnammin gamdanga pathen hochu ahou taan ahi, hitichun aman apu apate Pakai Pathen lung hanna chu akiloilut khum taan ahi
26 A record of the other things that Ahaz did while he was the king, from when he started to rule until he died, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah and Israel’.
Hitichun avaihom sunga anatoh athilbol jouse chu apatna patna ajona gei Judah leh Israel lengho thusim bua akijih lutsoh keijin ahi
27 Ahaz died and was buried in Jerusalem, but he was not buried in the tombs where the other kings [had been buried]. Then his son Hezekiah became the king.
Hitia Ahaz lengpahi athitaan ahileh lengte lhanna vuilouvin Jerusalem khopi sunga anavuitaove. Achapa Hezekiah chu apa khellin leng achangtaan ahi
