2 Kings 16
1 When Pekah had been ruling Israel for almost 17 years, Ahaz, the son of Jotham, became the king of Judah.
Israel lengpa Pekah in lengvai ahop kal kum somle sagi lhinin, Jotham chapa Ahaz chun Judah gam’ah lengvai ahin hom pantan ahi.
2 He was 20 years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. He did not do things that pleased Yahweh his God, good things like his ancestor King David had done.
Ahaz chu leng achan chun kum somni alhingtan ahi. Aman Jerusalem’ah kum somle gup sungin lengvai ana hom’in ahi. Aman apu David khunung ajuijin Pathen Pakai mitmu’n thilpha jeng ana bolpon ahi.
3 Instead, he was as sinful as the kings of Israel had been. He even sacrificed his son as an offering to idols. That was worse than the disgusting things that the people who previously lived there had done, people whom Yahweh had expelled as the Israelis were advancing through the land.
Hichesang chun, Israel lengho umchan teho ana juiyin, achapatah jeng jong kilhaina dingin ana tohdoh in ahi. Hiti chun aman Pathenin Israel mite masanga ana deldoh peh’u Pathen neilou nam mite thet umtah thil anabolji houchu ana juitan ahi.
4 Ahaz offered sacrifices and burned incense [to honor Yahweh] on the tops of many hills and under many [HYP] big trees, [instead of in Jerusalem as Yahweh had commanded].
Aman kilhaina gantha anabollin, doi phung leh thinglhang chunglah thingdo-eng noi tinnah gimnamtui ana lhut’in ahi.
5 While he was the king of Judah, King Rezin of Assyria and King Pekah of Israel [came with their armies] and attacked Jerusalem. They surrounded the city, but they could not conquer it.
Hijou chun Syria lengpa Rezin leh Israel lengpa Pekah chu Jerusalem sat dingin ahungtou lhontan ahi. Amanin Ahaz anokhum lhonin ahinlah ana jou lhonpon ahi.
6 At that time the [army of the] king of Edom expelled the people of Judah who were living in Elath [city]. Some of the people of Edom started to live there, and they are still living there.
Hichelai phat tah chun Edom lengpan Elath khopi chu Edom mite dingin agalelah kittan ahi. Aman Judah techu adeldoh in Edom mite chu-achun achen lutsah in, tuni geijin achengun ahi.
7 King Ahaz sent messengers to King Tiglath-Pileser of Assyria, to tell this message to him: “I promise that I will completely do what you tell me to do, [as though] I [was] your son. Please come and rescue us from the armies of Syria and Israel who are attacking my country.”
Ahaz lengpan Assyria lengpa Tiglath-pileser chu thu athot in, “Keima hi nanoija um nasoh kahin, hungtou vinlang Israel lengpa le Syria lengpan eihung delkhum lhonna akon hin neihung huhdoh’in,” atin ahi.
8 Ahaz took the silver and gold that was in the palace and in the temple and sent it to Assyria to be a present/gift for the king of Assyria.
Hijou chun Ahaz in Pakai houin’a konin sana, dangka holeh leng inpia sumlepai kholna a konin sana le dagka ho achomkhom in Assyria lengpa chu athot tan ahi.
9 So Tiglath-Pileser did what Ahaz requested. His army marched to Damascus and captured it, and they took the people of Damascus as prisoners to live in the capital city of Assyria, and executed [King] Rezin.
Hiti chun Assyria lengpan Syria khopi Damascus chu anokhum’in amipite chu gal hingin akaijin Kir gamsungah achen sah tan ahi. Aman Rezin lengpa jong chu athat’in ahi.
10 When King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet King Tiglath-Pileser, he saw the altar that was there. So he sent to Uriah, the Supreme Priest [in Jerusalem], a drawing of the altar and a model that was exactly like the altar in Damascus.
Ahaz lengpa chu Assyria lengpa Tiglath-pileser toh kimuto dingin Damascus a achen ahi. Hilai munna aum petchun, aman maicham phung kiboldan hochu aven amelchih in, hijouchun aman alimdan hochu hoitah in ajih doh in Uriah thempupa chu athot tan ahi.
11 So Uriah built an altar [in Jerusalem], following the drawing that King Ahaz had sent. Uriah finished the altar before Ahaz returned [to Jerusalem] from Damascus.
Uriah chun lengpan ahilna ajuijin, maicham phungkhat alim ahung kithot taobang bang chun ana semdoh in, lengpa Damascus akona ahung kile tengleh avet dingin gonsan akoitan ahi.
12 When the king returned from Damascus, he saw the altar. He went to it
Lengpa ahung kilephat’in, hiche maicham phung chu aga kholchil in, hichun pumgo thilto abolpai tai.
13 and burned animal sacrifices and a grain offering on it. He also poured a wine offering on it and threw on it the blood of the offerings to maintain fellowship with God.
Aman pumgo thilto atoh in, lhosoh thilto jong atoh in, lengpithei thilto jong achunga asunglhan chuleh maicham chunga chun chamna thilto thisan jong athe khum in ahi.
14 The old bronze altar which had been dedicated long ago to Yahweh was between the new altar and the temple, so Ahaz moved it to the north side of his new altar, [which was bigger than the old altar].
Hijou chun Ahaz lengpan maicham thah leh lutna lampi kikah aum Pakai houin maija um sum-englui maicham chu aladoh in, maicham thahpa sahlanga chun achontan ahi.
15 Then King Ahaz ordered Uriah: “Each morning put on this new altar the sacrifices that will be completely burned, and in the evening put on it the grain offering, along with my offering and the offerings that the people bring, ones that will be completely burned, and my grain offering and the people’s grain and wine offerings. Pour against the sides of the altar the blood of all the animals that are sacrificed. But the old bronze altar will be only for me to use to find out what Yahweh wants me to do.”
Aman Uriah thempupa kom’ah chun, “Hiche maicham thahpa hi, jingkah a pumgo thilto kihalna dingleh, nilhah lang’a lhohsoh thilto ho to nading, lengpa pumgo thilto tonading, chuleh mipitehojouse pumgo thitona chuleh lhohso thilto leh atuija kisunglha tonading ahi. Govam thilto hole pumgo thilto jouse a kona athisan chu maicham thah chunga hi athisan nathekhum ding ahi. Sum-eng maicham vang hi keima chang maicham ding ahi,” ati.
16 So Uriah did what the king commanded him to do.
Uriah thempupan jong Ahaz lengpan aseipeh bang bangin abollin ahi.
17 King Ahaz told his workers to take off the frames of the carts [that were outside the temple] and to take down the basins that were on them. They also took down the bronze tank from the backs of the bronze [statues of the] oxen and put it on a stone foundation.
Ahaz lengpa chun Houin a kimang sum-eng kangtalai ho chengse chu aphelhan, hichea kon chun kisilna kongchu atoldoh paijin anoija kidinsah sum-eng bongchal ho chunga konin twikong chu adom lhan, chuin song inbul khat ah akoitai.
18 Then to please the king of Assyria, Ahaz had them remove from the temple the roof under which the people walked into the temple on the Sabbath Day, and closed up the private entrance into the temple for the kings of Judah.
Assyria lengpa lunglhai sah tei ding gotnan, Ahaz lengpan houin sung a kisa, cholngah nikhoa lengte thusei nap hung aladoh in, chujongle houin sunga lengpa achengseh lutna kotpi geiyin atoldoh sohtai.
19 [If you want to know about] the other things that Ahaz did, they are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Ahaz vaihom sunga thilsoh jouseleh aman anatoh ho aboncha Judah lengte thusim bua kijihlut sohkei ahi.
20 Ahaz died [EUP], and he was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried. Then his son Hezekiah became the king.
Ahaz athi phat’in David khopia apu apate kivuina munah avui tauvin ahi. Hijouchun achapa Hezekiah chu ama khellin lengmun alotan ahi.
