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 el tokosrala ke el yac longoul, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac singoul onkosr. El tia fahsr tukun srikasrak wowo lal Tokosra David, papa matu tumal, a el oru ma su tia akinsewowoye LEUM GOD,
2 and was as sinful as the kings of Israel had been. He made idols of the god Baal.
ac fahsr tukun srikasrak koluk lun tokosra lun Israel. El sap in orekla ma sruloala kacl Baal ke osra,
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.
ac el akosak mwe keng Infahlfal Hinnom. El oayapa kisakin wen natul sifacna in mwe kisa nu sin ma sruloala ke el etai ouiya koluk lun mwet su LEUM GOD El lusla liki facl sac ke mwet Israel elos utyak nu we.
4 Ahaz offered sacrifices [to idols] at shrines on hilltops and under every big green tree.
Ahaz el orek kisa ac akosak mwe keng ke nien alu lun mwet pegan, ac fineol uh, ac ye sak lul nukewa.
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.
Ke ma inge, LEUM GOD lal El lela tuh tokosra Syria in kutangulla Tokosra Ahaz, ac usla mwet puspis liki acn Judah nu Damascus in mwet sruoh. LEUM GOD El oayapa eisalang Ahaz nu inpoun tokosra Israel, su arulana onela mwet Judah.
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].
Tokosra Pekah lun Israel, wen natul Remaliah, el uniya mwet siofok longoul tausin sin mwet Judah ke len sifanna, mweyen elos ngeta liki LEUM GOD lun papa tumalos, a mwet inge mwet na pulaik ke mweun.
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.
Sie mwet mweun lun Israel, su inel pa Zichri, el unilya Maaseiah wen natul Tokosra Ahaz. El oayapa unilya Azrikam, mwet kol su liyaung inkul sin tokosra, ac Elkanah, su akluo in leum yal tokosra.
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.
Mwet Judah finne ma wialos, a mwet Israel elos sruokya luofoko tausin mutan ac tulik lun mwet Judah, ac usalosla nu Samaria, wi pac ma wap puspis.
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.
Sie mwet palu lun LEUM GOD su pangpang Oded el muta in siti Samaria. El osun nu sin mwet mweun Israel ke elos foloko ac us mwet sruoh lalos ac akola in utyak nu in siti uh. Na el fahk, “LEUM GOD lun papa tomowos El kasrkusrak sin mwet Judah, pwanang El lela kowos in kutangulosla. Tusruktu inge El lohng ke luman anwuk sulallal ma kowos oru nu selos.
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!
Ac inge kowos akoo in oru tuh mukul ac mutan lun Jerusalem ac Judah inge in mwet kohs lowos. Ku kowos tiana etu lah kowos oru pac ma koluk lain LEUM GOD lowos?
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].”
Porongo ma nga fahk uh! Mwet sruoh inge ma na wiowos. Lela elos in folokla. Kowos fin tia fuhlelosla, na LEUM GOD El ac kai kowos ke kasrkusrak lal.”
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.
Mwet akosr sin mwet kol lun Tokosrai Epang elos wi pac tia insese nu ke ma mwet mweun elos oru inge. Inelos pa Azariah wen natul Jehohanan, Berechiah wen natul Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah wen natul Shallum, ac Amasa wen natul Hadlai.
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!”
Elos fahk, “Nimet use mwet sruoh ingan nu inge. Ma koluk ma kut orala fal tari LEUM GOD Elan kasrkusrak sesr kac. Ac inge kowos lungse oru kutu ma su ac akyokyela koluk lasr?”
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.
Ke ma inge, mwet mweun uh sang mwet sruoh ac ma wap uh nu sin mwet uh ac mwet kol lalos.
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.
Itukyang kunen mwet akosr inge in kitalik nuknuk ke ma wap nu sin mwet sruoh. Elos sang nuknuk ac fahluk nu selos, ac lupa fal ke mwe mongo ac mwe nim, ac elos sang mwe akmusra in unwela kinet kaclos. Mwet ma munas ac kofla fahsr, elos srakalosyang nu fin donkey, na mwet sruoh inge nukewa folokinyukla nu in acn Judah, ke siti Jericho su siti in sak palm. Na mwet Israel elos folokla nu yen selos in Samaria.
16 About that time, King Ahaz sent [a message] to the king of Assyria requesting help.
In pacl se inge, Tokosra Ahaz el supwala kas nu sel Tiglath Pileser, Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria, ac siyuk kasru sel,
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.
mweyen mwet Edom elos sifil tuku mweuni mwet Judah, ac kutangulosla ac uslalosla nu in sruoh.
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.
In pacl sacn pacna, mwet Philistia elos utyak pac lain siti srisrik pe eol layen nu roto oayapa layen eir lun Judah. Elos sruokya siti Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, ac Gederoth, oayapa siti Soco, Timnah, ac Gimzo, wi ikul ma raunelosla, na elos oakwuki ac muta we.
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.
Ke sripen Ahaz, tokosra lun Israel el akyokye ma koluk in acn Judah ac lain LEUM GOD, ouinge LEUM GOD El sang ma upa nu fin acn Judah.
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.
Tiglath Pileser, Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria, el tia kasrel Ahaz, a el lainul ac oru ma upa nu sel.
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.
Na Ahaz el eisla gold liki Tempul ac liki lohm sin tokosra, oayapa liki lohm sin mwet kol lun mwet uh, ac sang nu sel Tokosra Fulat. El ne oru ouinge, a tiana kasreyuk el.
22 While King Ahaz was experiencing those troubles, he disobeyed Yahweh even more.
Ke mwe lokoalok upala nu sel Ahaz, el orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD yohk liki na meet.
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.
El orek kisa nu sin god lun mwet Syria, su tuh kutangulla. El fahk, “God ingan lun mwet Syria elos kasru tokosra lun Syria, na nga fin orek kisa nu selos, elos ac ku in kasreyu pac.” Tusruktu ma el oru inge use mwe ongoiya nu sel ac nu sin mutunfacl sel.
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.
Sayen ma inge, el usla pac kufwen mwe orekma nukewa lun Tempul, ac kunausya in ip srisrik. El kaliya Tempul, ac tulokunak loang in acn nukewa in Jerusalem.
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.
In siti nukewa in acn Judah, el musaela nien alu lun mwet pegan, yen mwe keng uh ac isisyak we nu sin god ngia. Sripe inge oru el sifacna pwanma kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD lun papa tumal nu facl.
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’.
Ma nukewa su el orala ke el tokosra, mutawauk nwe ke safla, simla in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Israel Ac Judah].
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.
Tokosra Ahaz el misa ac pukpuki in Jerusalem, tusruktu tia inkulyuk lun mwet leum. Hezekiah wen natul, el aolul in tokosra.
