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 teh siangpahrang a bawi na kum 20 touh boung a pha, Jerusalem kum 16 touh a uk. A na pa Devit patetlah BAWIPA mithmu vah hawinae sak hoeh.
2 and was as sinful as the kings of Israel had been. He made idols of the god Baal.
Isarel siangpahrang naw e lamthung a dawn teh Baal hanelah meikaphawknaw a sak.
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.
Hinnom capa e thingyei yawn dawk hmuitui hmai a sawi. BAWIPA ni Isarelnaw hmalah a pâlei e miphunnaw ni, panuetthopounge hno ouk a sak awh e patetlah a canaw hmai hoi thuengnae a sak.
4 Ahaz offered sacrifices [to idols] at shrines on hilltops and under every big green tree.
Hmuenrasang hoi monsomnaw hoi thingkung rahim tangkuem vah, thuengnae a sak teh hmuitui hmai a sawi.
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.
Hatdawkvah, Cathut ni Siria siangpahrang kut dawk a poe. A tuk awh teh a taminaw moikapap san lah a man awh teh, Damaskas lah a ceikhai awh. Isarel siangpahrang kut dawk hai a poe teh ahni ni moikapap a thei.
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].
Hahoi Remaliah capa Pekah ni Judah ram dawk hnin touh dawk 120, 000 a thei, abuemlah hoi tami tarankahawinaw seng doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut a hnoun awh dawk doeh.
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.
Hahoi Ephraim tami athakaawme Zikhri ni siangpahrang capa Maaseiah hoi imthung kahrawikung Azrikam hoi Elkanah, siangpahrang kabawmkungnaw a thei awh.
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.
Isarelnaw ni a hmaunawngha 200, 000 touh a manu, a capanaw hoi a canunaw san lah a hrawi awh. Hno moikapap a lawp awh teh Samaria lah a ceikhai awh.
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.
Hatei, hote hmuen koe BAWIPA e profet ao teh, a min teh Oded doeh. Samaria lahoi ka tho e ransanaw hmalah a cei teh, ahnimouh koe, khenhaw! na mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut teh Judahnaw koe a lungkhuek dawkvah, nangmae kut dawk na poe awh.
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!
Hahoi Judah hoi Jerusalem e taminaw sannu sanpa lah coung sak hanelah na noe awh. Hatei, namamouh hai BAWIPA Cathut hmalah yonpen lah letlang na o awh van nahoehmaw.
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].”
Hatdawkvah, ka lawk tarawi awh nateh, na hmaunawngha san lah na man e naw hah ban sak awh leih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e lungkhuek kamannae teh nangmae lathueng vah ao telah atipouh.
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.
Hahoi, Ephraim kahrawikung, Johanan capa Azriah, Meshillemoth capa Berekhiah, Shallum capa Hezekiah, Hadlai capa Amasa, naw ni tarantuknae koehoi kathonaw hah kangdue laihoi a ngang awh.
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!”
Ahnimouh koe sannaw na kâen thai awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA lungkhuek sak awh toe. Mamae yonnae hoi yonpennae hah thapsin hanlah bout na noe awh. Yonpennae a len poung toe, Isarelnaw koe lungkhuek kamannae ao telah atipouh awh.
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.
Hottelah ransanaw ni kahrawikungnaw hoi tamimayanaw e hmalah san hoi lawphnonaw hah a cei takhai awh.
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.
Hahoi min a kaw e naw pueng a thaw awh teh, sannaw hah a ceikhai awh teh, lawphno a la awh e hnicunaw hah, tawngtai lah kaawm e naw hah a khohna sak awh. Khokkhawm a khawm sak awh teh, canei a poe awh teh satui a hluk awh. Tami thakayounnaw hah la dawk a kâcui sak awh teh, a hmaunawnghanaw onae koe Jeriko kho tie samtue khopui dawk a thak awh teh, ahnimouh teh Samaria kho lah a ban awh.
16 About that time, King Ahaz sent [a message] to the king of Assyria requesting help.
Hatnae tueng dawk siangpahrang Ahaz ni Siria siangpahrang koevah, ama kabawp hanelah tami a patoun.
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.
Edomnaw ni Judahnaw a tuk awh teh, san lah bout a man awh.
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.
Filistinnaw ni hai a rahim lae ram hoi akalae Judah ram, Bethshemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Sokoh, hoi khotenaw; Timnah hoi khotenaw; Gimzo hoi khotenaw a la awh teh, hote hmuen dawk ao sin awh.
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.
Isarel siangpahrang Ahaz kecu dawk BAWIPA ni Judah hah rahim lah a pabo. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni ni Judahnaw e pouknae a raphoe pouh teh, BAWIPA hanelah yuemkamcu hoeh lah ao sak.
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.
Siria siangpahrang Tiglathpileser hai ahni koe a tho teh kabawm laipalah lungrei hoe a thai sak.
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.
Ahaz ni BAWIPA im, siangpahrang im hoi kahrawikungnaw kho hoi hnopai a la teh, Siria siangpahrang a poe, Hatei kabawm ngai kalawn hoeh.
22 While King Ahaz was experiencing those troubles, he disobeyed Yahweh even more.
Khopouk a deng nahaiyah siangpahrang Ahaz teh, BAWIPA koe yuemkamcu hoeh lah hoehoe ao. Hethateh, Ahaz siangpahrang e a coungnae doeh.
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.
Ama ka tâ e Damaskas e cathut koe thuengnae a sak teh, Siria siangpahrang cathutnaw ni a kabawp awh dawkvah, na kabawp van hanelah ahnimouh koe thuengnae sak hanelah ao telah a ti.
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.
Ahaz ni Cathut im dawk hnopai pueng a pâkhueng teh, reprep koung a dei. BAWIPA im thonaw koung a taren teh, Jerusalem takin pueng koe thuengnae khoungroe a sak.
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 ram kho moikapap koe cathut alouknaw hanlah hmuitui sawi nahane hmuenrasang a sak teh, a na mintoenaw e Cathut hah a lungkhuek sak.
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’.
A tawksaknae thung dawk kaawm rae pueng hoi a khosaknae pueng kamtawng hoi apout totouh, khenhaw! Judah hoi Isarel siangpahrangnaw e lairui thutnae dawk thut lah ao.
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.
Ahaz teh a na mintoenaw koe a i teh, Jerusalem khopui dawk a pakawp awh. Hatei, Isarel siangpahrangnaw e phuen dawk nahoeh. Hahoi a capa Hezekiah ni a yueng lah a bawi.
