2 Kings 16
1 When Pekah had been ruling Israel for almost 17 years, Ahaz, the son of Jotham, became the king of Judah.
Iti maikasangapulo ket pito a tawen ni Peka a lalaki a putot ni Remalias, nangrugi a nagturay ni Ahaz a putot ni Jotam nga ari ti Juda.
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.
Duapulo ti tawen ni Ahaz idi nangrugi isuna a nagturay, ken nagturay isuna iti sangapulo ket innem a tawen idiay Jerusalem. Saanna nga inaramid ti rumbeng iti imatang ni Yahweh a Diosna, saan a kas iti inaramid ni David a kapuonanna.
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.
Ngem ketdi, nagbiag isuna iti wagas dagiti ari ti Israel; kinapudnona, impuorna ti anakna a kas daton a mapuoran a tinuladna dagiti nakarimrimon nga aramid dagiti pagilian, a pinagtalaw ni Yahweh iti imatang dagiti tattao ti Israel.
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].
Nangidaton isuna kadagiti daton ken nangipuor iti insenso kadagiti nangangato a disso, kadagiti rabaw ti turturod ken iti sirok ti tunggal narukbos a kayo.
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.
Kalpasanna, ni Resin nga ari ti Aram ken ni Peka a lalaki a putot ni Remalias, ari ti Israel ket simang-atda iti Jerusalem tapno rumaut. Linakubda ni Ahaz ngem saanda a maparmek isuna.
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.
Iti dayta met laeng a tiempo, sinubli ni Resin nga ari ti Aram ti Elat para iti Aram ken pinapanawna idiay Elat dagiti lallaki ti Juda. Kalpasanna, immay dagiti Arameo idiay Elat nga isu ti pagnanaedanda agingga ita.
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.”
Nangibaon ngarud ni Ahaz iti mensahero kenni Tiglat Pileser nga ari ti Asiria, a kunana, “Siak ti adipenmo ken anakmo. Sumang-atka ditoy ket ispalennak manipud iti ima iti ari ti Aram ken manipud iti ima ti ari ti Israel a nangraut kaniak.”
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.
Innala ngarud ni Ahaz ti pirak ken balitok a nasarakan iti balay ni Yahweh ken dagiti gameng iti palasio ti ari ket impatulodna a kas sagut iti ari ti Asiria.
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.
Ket impangag isuna ti ari ti Asiria, ket napan rinaut ti ari ti Asiria ti Damasco, pinarmekna daytoy ken impanawna dagiti tattao sadiay a kas baludda idiay Kir. Pinatayna pay ni Resin nga ari ti Aram.
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.
Napan ni ari Ahaz idiay Damasco tapno sabatenna ni Tiglat Pileser nga ari ti Asiria. Idiay Damasco, adda nakitana a maysa nga altar. Nangipatulod isuna kenni Urias a padi iti ladawan ti altar, ti pagtuladan iti altar ken ti disenio para iti amin a kasapulan iti maaramid nga altar.
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.
Nagaramid ngarud ni Urias a padi iti altar a kapadpada laeng ti plano nga impatulod ni Ari Ahaz manipud Damasco. Inleppasna daytoy sakbay a simangpet ni Ari Ahaz manipud Damasco.
12 When the king returned from Damascus, he saw the altar. He went to it
Idi nagsubli ti ari manipud Damasco, nakitana ti altar; immasideg ti ari iti altar ket nangidaton isuna iti daytoy.
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.
Nagidaton isuna iti daton a mapuoran ken daton a bukel, imbukbokna ti daton a mainom, ken inwarsina iti altar ti dara ti indatonna a daton a pakikadua.
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].
Ti bronse nga altar nga adda iti sangoanan ni Yahweh— innalana manipud iti sangoanan ti templo, iti nagbaetan ti altarna ken ti templo ni Yahweh, ket impanna iti akin amianan a paset ti altarna
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.”
Kalpasanna binilin ni Ari Ahaz ni Urias a padi, kunana, “Iti dakkel nga altar, puoram ti mapuoran a daton iti bigat ken ti daton a bukel a maidatag iti rabii, ken ti mapuoran a daton ti ari ken ti bukel a datonna, ken ti mapuoran a daton dagiti amin a tattao iti daga, ken iti datonda a bukbukel ken ti datonda a mainom. Iwarsim iti daytoy ti amin a dara ti mapuoran a daton ken ti amin a dara ti daton. Ngem ti bronse nga altar ket aramatek no agdawatak iti tulong ti Dios.”
16 So Uriah did what the king commanded him to do.
Inaramid ni Urias ti kas imbilin ni Ari Ahaz.
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.
Ket inikkat ni Ari Ahaz dagiti naididing ken dagiti planggana kadagiti maiyakar-akar a pangiparabawan; inikkatna pay ti bronse a baybay manipud iti bronse a sinan-baka nga adda iti babaen daytoy ket inkabilna iti bato a pagsaadan.
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.
Inikkatna ti adda atepna a pagnaan para iti Aldaw a Panaginnana nga inyaramidda iti templo, ken ti pagserkan ti ari nga adda iti ruar ti templo ni Yahweh, gapu iti ari ti Asiria.
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’.
No maipanggep met kadagiti dadduma a banbanag maipapan kenni Ahaz ken ti inaramidna, saan kadi a naisurat dagitoy iti Libro dagiti Pakasaritaan dagiti Ari ti Juda?
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.
Pimmusay ni Ahaz ket intanemda iti ayan dagiti kapuonanna iti siudad ni David. Ni Hezekias a lalaki a putotna ti simmukat kenkuana nga ari.
