2 Kings 16
1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah, Ahaz son of Jotham king of Judah, began to reign.
No te tekau ma whitu o nga tau o Peka tama a Remaria i kingi ai a Ahata tama a Iotama kingi o Hura.
2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do what was right in the eyes of Yahweh his God, as David his ancestor had done.
E rua tekau nga tau o Ahata i a ia ka kingi nei; a kotahi tekau ma ono nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. Na kihai i tika tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, a tona Atua, kihai i rite ki ta tona tupuna, ki ta Rawiri.
3 Instead, he walked in the way of the kings of Israel; indeed, he made his son pass through the fire, following the detestable practices of the nations, which Yahweh had driven out before the people of Israel.
Engari i haere ia i te ara o nga kingi o Iharaira, i mea hoki i tana tama kia tika na waenganui o te ahi, kia pera me nga meatanga whakarihariha a nga tauiwi i peia nei e Ihowa i te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira.
4 He offered sacrifices and burned incense at the high places, on the hilltops, and under every green tree.
A i patu whakahere ia, i tahu whakakakara ki nga wahi tiketike, ki nga pukepuke, ki raro i nga rakau kouru nui.
5 Then Rezin, king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to attack. They besieged Ahaz, but they could not conquer him.
Katahi ka haere mai a Retini kingi o Hiria raua ko Peka tama a Remaria kingi o Iharaira ki Hiruharama, whawhai ai. Na whakapaea ana a Ahata e raua, otiia kihai i hinga i a raua.
6 At that time, Rezin king of Aram recovered Elath for Aram and drove the men of Judah out of Elath. Then the Arameans came to Elath where they have lived to this day.
I taua wa ka whakahokia e Retini kingi o Hiria a Erata ki Hiria, a peia ana nga Hurai i Erata: na haere mai ana nga Hiriani ki Erata, a nohoia ana a reira a taea noatia tenei ra.
7 So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. Come up and save me from the hand of the king of Aram and from the hand of the king of Israel, who have attacked me.”
Heoi tukua ana e Ahata he karere ki a Tikirata Pirehere kingi o Ahiria hei ki atu, He pononga ahau nau, he tama hoki; haere mai, whakaorangia ahau i te ringa o te kingi o Hiria, i te ringa ano o te kingi o Iharaira, kua whakatika mai nei ki ahau.
8 So Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of Yahweh and among the treasures of the king's palace and he sent it as a gift to the king of Assyria.
Na ka mau a Ahata ki te hiriwa, ki te koura i kitea ki te whare o Ihowa, ki nga taonga hoki o te whare o te kingi, a tukua ana e ia kia kawea hei hakari ki te kingi o Ahiria.
9 Then the king of Assyria listened to him, and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, conquered it and carried off its people as prisoners to Kir. He also killed Rezin the king of Aram.
Na rongo ana te kingi o Ahiria ki a ia: a haere ana te kingi o Ahiria ki Ramahiku, a riro ana i a ia, whakahekea ana e ia ona tangata ki Kiri, a patua ana a Retini.
10 King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria. At Damascus he saw an altar. He sent to Uriah the priest a model of the altar and its pattern and the design for all the workmanship needed.
Na haere ana a Kingi Ahata ki Ramahiku ki te whakatau i a Tikirata Pirehere kingi o Ahiria, a ka kite i te aata i Ramahiku: na ka tukua e Kingi Ahata ki a Uria tohunga te ahua o taua aata, me tona tauira me ona mahinga katoa.
11 So Uriah the priest built an altar to be just like the plans that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus. He finished it before King Ahaz arrived back from Damascus.
Na ka hanga e te tohunga, e Uria, he aata: rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i tukua mai nei e Kingi Ahata i Ramahiku ta te tohunga, ta Uria i mahi ai, mo te tae rawa mai o Kingi Ahata i Ramahiku.
12 When the king came from Damascus he saw the altar; the king approached the altar and made offerings on it.
A, no te taenga mai o te kingi i Ramahiku, ka kite te kingi i te aata: a ka whakatata te kingi ki te aata, ka tapae whakahere i runga.
13 He made his burnt offering and his grain offering, poured out his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his fellowship offerings on the altar.
Na ka tahuna e ia tana tahunga tinana me tana whakahere totokore, ka ringihia tana ringihanga, a tauhiuhia ana nga toto o ana whakahere mo te pai ki runga ki te aata.
14 The bronze altar that was before Yahweh—he brought it from the front of the temple, from between his altar and the temple of Yahweh and put it on the north side of his altar.
Na, ko te aata parahi, ko tera i te aroaro o Ihowa, nekehia mai ana e ia i mua o te whare, i te takiwa o tana aata, o te whare o Ihowa, a whakaturia ana ki te taha tuaraki o tana aata.
15 Then King Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest, saying, “On the large altar burn the morning burnt offering and the evening grain offering, and the king's burnt offering and his grain offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their grain offering and their drink offerings. Sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice. But the bronze altar will be for me to consult for guidance.”
A ka whakahau a Kingi Ahata i te tohunga, i a Uria, ka mea, Tahuna ki te aata nui te tahunga tinana o te ata, te whakahere totokore o te ahiahi, te tahunga tinana a te kingi, me tana whakahere totokore, te tahunga tinana hoki a te iwi katoa o te whenua, me ta ratou whakahere totokore me a ratou ringihanga; a me tauhiuhi ano ki reira nga toto katoa o te tahunga tinana, me nga toto katoa o te patunga tapu: engari ko te aata parahi hei mea ui maku.
16 Uriah the priest did just what King Ahaz commanded.
Na rite tonu ta Uria tohunga i mea ai ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua e Kingi Ahata.
17 Then King Ahaz removed the panels and the basins from the portable stands; he also took down the sea from off the bronze oxen that were under it and put it on a stone pavement.
I tapahia hoki e Kingi Ahata nga awhi o nga turanga, tangohia ana e ia te takotoranga wai o runga o aua mea; i tangohia ano e ia te moana i runga i nga kau parahi, i era i raro i taua moana, a whakatakotoria ana ki runga ki te whariki kohatu;
18 He removed the covered walkway for the Sabbath that they had built at the temple, along with the king's entry outside the temple of Yahweh, because of the king of Assyria.
A ko te taupoki mo te hapati i hanga nei ki roto ki te whare, me te tomokanga o te kingi i waho, whakaangahia ana e ia ki te whare o Ihowa, he whakaaro ki te kingi o Ahiria.
19 As for the other matters concerning Ahaz and what he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?
Na, ko era atu meatanga i mea ai a Ahata, kihai ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?
20 Ahaz slept with his ancestors and was buried with his ancestors in the city of David. Hezekiah his son became king in his place.
Na ka moe a Ahata ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki ona matua, ki te pa o Rawiri: a ko Hetekia, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.
