< 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
Ahasi sì jẹ́ ẹni ogún ọdún nígbà tí ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ ìjọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún mẹ́rìndínlógún. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí i Dafidi baba rẹ̀ kò sì ṣe ohun rere ní ojú Olúwa.
2 and was as sinful as the kings of Israel had been. He made idols of the god Baal.
Ó sì rìn ní ọ̀nà àwọn ọba Israẹli ó sì ṣe ère dídá fún ìsìn Baali
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.
Ó sì sun ẹbọ ní àfonífojì Hinnomu, ó sì sun àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ nínú iná, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ohun ìríra àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí Olúwa lé jáde níwájú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli
4 Ahaz offered sacrifices [to idols] at shrines on hilltops and under every big green tree.
Ó sì rú ẹbọ, ó sì sun tùràrí ní ibi gíga wọ́n nì lórí òkè kékeré àti lábẹ́ gbogbo igi tútù.
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.
Nítorí náà, Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ fi lé ọba Siria lọ́wọ́. Àwọn ará Siria sì pa á run, wọ́n sì kó púpọ̀ nínú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹlẹ́wọ̀n, wọ́n sì kó wọn wá sí Damasku. Ó sì tún fi lé ọwọ́ ọba Israẹli pẹ̀lú, ẹni tí ó kó wọn ní ìgbèkùn púpọ̀ tí ó sì pa wọ́n ní ìpakúpa.
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].
Ní ọjọ́ kan Peka, ọmọ Remaliah, pa ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́fà àwọn ọmọ-ogun ní Juda nítorí Juda ti kọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run baba wọn sílẹ̀.
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.
Sikri àti Efraimu alágbára sì pa Maaseiah ọmọ ọba, Aṣrikamu ìjòyè tí ó wà ní ìkáwọ́ ilé ọba, àti Elkana igbákejì ọba.
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.
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì kó ní ìgbèkùn lára àwọn arákùnrin wọn ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́wàá àwọn aya wọn, àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti obìnrin wọn sì tún kó ọ̀pọ̀ ìkógun, èyí tí wọn kó padà lọ sí Samaria.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n wòlíì Olúwa tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Odedi wà níbẹ̀, ó sì jáde lọ láti lọ pàdé ogun nígbà tí ó padà sí Samaria. Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Nítorí Olúwa, Ọlọ́run baba yín bínú sí Juda ó sì fi wọ́n lé yín lọ́wọ́. Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin pa wọ́n ní ìpa oró tí ó de òkè ọ̀run.
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!
Nísinsin yìí, ẹ̀yin ń pète láti mú ọkùnrin àti obìnrin Juda àti Jerusalẹmu ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹrú yín, ẹ̀yin kò ha jẹ̀bi Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, àní ẹ̀yin?
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].”
Nísinsin yìí ẹ gbọ́ tèmi! Ẹ rán àwọn ìgbèkùn tí ẹ̀yin ti mú gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ẹlẹ́wọ̀n padà nítorí ìbínú kíkan Olúwa ń bẹ lórí yín.”
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.
Lẹ́yìn náà, díẹ̀ nínú àwọn olórí ní Efraimu, Asariah ọmọ Jehohanani, Berekiah ọmọ Meṣilemoti, Jehiskiah ọmọ Ṣallumu, àti Amasa ọmọ Hadlai, dìde sí àwọn tí o ti ogun náà bọ̀.
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!”
Wọn si wí pé, “Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ mú àwọn ẹlẹ́wọ̀n wá síbí,” “tàbí àwa ti jẹ̀bi níwájú Olúwa, ṣe ẹ̀yin ń gbèrò láti fi kún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àti ẹ̀bi wa ni: nítorí tí ẹ̀bi wa ti tóbi púpọ̀, ìbínú rẹ̀ kíkan sì wà lórí Israẹli.”
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ológun tú àwọn ẹlẹ́wọ̀n àti ìkógun sílẹ̀ níwájú àwọn ìjòyè àti gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn.
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.
Àwọn ọkùnrin tí a pè pẹ̀lú orúkọ náà sì dìde, wọn sì mú àwọn ìgbèkùn náà, wọ́n sì fi ìkógun náà wọ̀ gbogbo àwọn tí ó wà ní ìhòhò nínú wọn, wọ́n sì wọ̀ wọ́n ní aṣọ, wọ́n sì bọ̀ wọ́n ní bàtà, wọ́n sì fún wọn ní oúnjẹ àti ohun mímu, wọ́n sì fi òróró kùn wọ́n ní ara, wọ́n sì kó gbogbo àwọn tí ó jẹ́ aláìlera nínú wọ́n sórí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́.

16 About that time, King Ahaz sent [a message] to the king of Assyria requesting help.
Ní àkókò ìgbà náà, ọba Ahasi ránṣẹ́ sí ọba Asiria fún ìrànlọ́wọ́.
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.
Àwọn ará Edomu sì tún padà wá láti kọlu Juda kí wọn sì kó àwọn ẹlẹ́wọ̀n lọ.
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.
Nígbà tí àwọn ará Filistini sì ti jagun ní ìlú pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ wọ́n nì àti síhà gúúsù Juda. Wọ́n ṣẹ́gun wọ́n sì gba Beti-Ṣemeṣi, Aijaloni àti Gederoti, àti Soko, Timna, a ri Gimiso, pẹ̀lú ìletò wọn.
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.
Olúwa sì rẹ Juda sílẹ̀ nítorí Ahasi ọba Israẹli, nítorí ó sọ Juda di aláìní ìrànlọ́wọ́, ó sì ṣe ìrékọjá gidigidi sí Olúwa.
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.
Tiglat-Pileseri ọba Asiria wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ó fún ní ìpọ́njú dípò ìrànlọ́wọ́.
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.
Ahasi mú díẹ̀ nínú ìní ilé Olúwa àti láti ilé ọba àti láti ọ̀dọ̀ ọba ó sì fi wọ́n fún ọba Asiria: ṣùgbọ́n èyí kò ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́.
22 While King Ahaz was experiencing those troubles, he disobeyed Yahweh even more.
Ní àkókò ìpọ́njú rẹ̀ ọba Ahasi sì di aláìṣòótọ́ sí Olúwa.
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.
Ó sì rú ẹbọ sí òrìṣà àwọn Damasku, ẹni tí ó ṣẹ́gun wọn, nítorí ó rò wí pé, “Nítorí àwọn òrìṣà àwọn ọba Siria ti ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́ kí wọn kí ó bà lè ràn mí lọ́wọ́.” Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ni ìparun rẹ̀ àti ti gbogbo Israẹli.
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.
Ahasi sì kó gbogbo ohun èlò láti ilé Olúwa jọ ó sì kó wọn lọ. Ó sì ti ìlẹ̀kùn ilé Olúwa ó sì tẹ́ pẹpẹ fún ara rẹ̀ ní gbogbo igun Jerusalẹmu.
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.
Ní gbogbo ìlú Juda ó sì kọ́ ibi gíga láti sun ẹbọ fún àwọn ọlọ́run mìíràn. Kí ó sì mú Olúwa, Ọlọ́run àwọn baba wọn bínú.
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’.
Ìyókù iṣẹ́ ìjọba rẹ̀ àti gbogbo ọ̀nà rẹ̀, láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ títí dé òpin, ni a kọ sínú ìwé àwọn ọba Juda àti ti Israẹli.
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.
Ahasi sì sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀ a sì sin ín ní ìlú Jerusalẹmu ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò mú un wá sínú àwọn isà òkú àwọn ọba Israẹli. Hesekiah ọmọ rẹ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀.
