2 Chronicles 28
1 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He didn’t do that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, like David his father,
Ehaz gbara iri afọ abụọ mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze. Ọ chịkwara afọ iri na isii nʼime Jerusalem, ma o meghị ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị, dịka nna ya Devid mere.
2 but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and also made molten images for the Baals.
Ọ gbasoro ụzọ niile nke ndị eze Izrel, kpụọkwa arụsị dị iche iche maka ofufe arụsị Baal.
3 Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
O surere ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ dị iche iche nʼime Ndagwurugwu nke Ben Hinom, surekwaa ụmụ ya nʼọkụ. Ọ gbasoro omenaala niile rụrụ arụ nke ndị mba ọzọ, ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị chụpụrụ site nʼihu ndị Izrel.
4 He sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
Ọ chụrụ aja surekwaa ihe nsure ọkụ aja na-esi isi ụtọ nʼebe niile dị elu, nʼelu ugwu niile, na nʼokpuru osisi ndụ ọbụla.
5 Therefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria. They struck him, and carried away from him a great multitude of captives, and brought them to Damascus. He was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who struck him with a great slaughter.
Nʼihi ya, Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya nyefere ya nʼaka eze ndị Aram. Ndị Aram lụgburu ya, kpọrọ ọtụtụ nʼetiti ndị ya dịka ndị mkpọrọ kpọta ha nʼDamaskọs. E nyefekwara ya nʼaka eze Izrel, onye gburu ọtụtụ ndị agha ya.
6 For Pekah the son of Remaliah killed in Judah one hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all of them valiant men, because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers.
Nʼotu ụbọchị, Peka nwa Remalaya gburu narị puku ndị agha Juda na iri puku abụọ. Ihe ndị a mere nʼihi na ha gbakụtara Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna nna ha azụ.
7 Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king’s son, Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah who was next to the king.
Zikri onye Ifrem, onye bụ dike nʼagha, gburu Maaseia, nwa eze, na Azrikam onye na-elekọta ụlọeze. O gbukwara Elkena onye na-esota eze.
8 The children of Israel carried away captive of their brothers two hundred thousand women, sons, and daughters, and also took away much plunder from them, and brought the plunder to Samaria.
Ndị Izrel sitere nʼetiti ụmụnne ha ndị Juda dọta ndị inyom, na ụmụ okorobịa, na ụmụ agbọghọbịa ọnụọgụgụ ha dị narị puku abụọ nʼagha. Ha bukọkwaara ọtụtụ ihe ndị ọzọ ha kwatara nʼagha laghachi na Sameria.
9 But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded; and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria, and said to them, “Behold, because the LORD, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah, he has delivered them into your hand, and you have slain them in a rage which has reached up to heaven.
Ma Oded, onye amụma Onyenwe anyị, nọ na Sameria nʼoge a. Ọ pụrụ jekwuru ndị agha ahụ na Sameria sị ha, “Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna nna unu ha mere ka unu merie ndị Juda nʼihi na ha na-efe arụsị. Ma unu ji ọnụma gbuo ha, nke mere na ụzụ tụrụ ruo nʼeluigwe.
10 Now you intend to degrade the children of Judah and Jerusalem as male and female slaves for yourselves. Aren’t there even with you trespasses of your own against the LORD your God?
Ugbu a, unu na-achọkwa ime ndị ikom na ndị inyom Juda na Jerusalem ndị ohu unu? Ma unu abụghị ndị ikpe mmehie mara nʼebe Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu nọ?
11 Now hear me therefore, and send back the captives that you have taken captive from your brothers, for the fierce wrath of the LORD is on you.”
Ugbu a, geenụ ntị nʼihe m na-ekwu. Kpọghachinụ ụmụnna unu ndị a unu dọtara nʼagha nʼụlọ ha, nʼihi na ugbu a Onyenwe anyị na-ewe oke iwe megide unu.”
12 Then some of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against those who came from the war,
Ụfọdụ ndịisi ndị Ifrem, bụ Azaraya nwa Jehohanan, na Berekaya nwa Meshilemot, na Jehizkaya nwa Shalum, na Amasa nwa Hadlai, biliri guzogide ndị ahụ si agha na-alọta.
13 and said to them, “You must not bring in the captives here, for you intend that which will bring on us a trespass against the LORD, to add to our sins and to our guilt; for our guilt is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.”
Ha sịrị, “Unu akpọbatakwala ndị a unu dọtara nʼagha nʼebe a, nʼihi na unu mee ya, anyị ga-abụ ndị ikpe maara nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Unu chọrọ ịtụkwasị ihe na mmehie na ikpe ọmụma anyị? Nʼihi na ikpe ọmụma anyị adịla ukwuu, iwe ya dị ọkụ na-adịkwasịkwa nʼahụ Izrel.”
14 So the armed men left the captives and the plunder before the princes and all the assembly.
Ya mere, ndị agha ahụ hapụrụ ndị mkpọrọ ahụ na ihe niile ha bulatara, nʼihu ndị ozi na igwe mmadụ ahụ niile.
15 The men who have been mentioned by name rose up and took the captives, and with the plunder clothed all who were naked amongst them, dressed them, gave them sandals, gave them something to eat and to drink, anointed them, carried all the feeble of them on donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brothers. Then they returned to Samaria.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị ikom ahụ akpọrọ nʼaha nʼaha duuru ndị mkpọrọ ahụ, manye aka nʼihe ahụ niile a dọtara nʼagha wepụta uwe, na nri, na mmanya na akpụkpọụkwụ, na mmanụ, nyeghachi ha ndị ahụ niile a dọtara nʼagha. Ha bulitere ndị ọrịa nọ nʼetiti ndị ahụ a dọtara nʼagha kukwasị ha nʼelu ịnyịnya ibu. Emesịa, ha duuru mmadụ ahụ niile dughachiri ha ndị ha nọ na Jeriko, obodo nkwụ. Emesịakwa, ha laghachikwara azụ na Sameria.
16 At that time King Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him.
Nʼoge ahụ, eze Ehaz zigara ndị eze Asịrịa ozi ka ọ bịa nyere ya aka.
17 For again the Edomites had come and struck Judah, and carried away captives.
Ndị Edọm bịara ọzọ buso Juda agha, ma dọrọkwa ọtụtụ nʼime ha nʼagha.
18 The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland and of the South of Judah, and had taken Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and also Gimzo and its villages; and they lived there.
Ndị Filistia na-ebusokwa ụfọdụ obodo Juda dị na mgbada ugwu, na Negeb agha. Ha meriri ma bichikwaa obodo ndị a; Bet-Shemesh, na Aijalon, na Gederọt, na Soko, na Timna, na Gimzo, na obodo nta niile gbara ha gburugburu.
19 For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel, because he acted without restraint in Judah and trespassed severely against the LORD.
Ma Onyenwe anyị wedara Juda nʼala nʼihi Ehaz, eze Izrel onye mere ka ihe ọjọọ baa ụba na Juda, na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi ya nye Onyenwe anyị.
20 Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came to him and gave him trouble, but didn’t strengthen him.
Mgbe Tiglat-Pilesa eze ndị Asịrịa bịara, o wetaara Ehaz nsogbu kama enyemaka.
21 For Ahaz took away a portion out of the LORD’s house, and out of the house of the king and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria; but it didn’t help him.
Ehaz weere ụfọdụ ihe dị nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, na nke dị nʼụlọeze, sitekwa na nʼụlọ ndịisi obodo, were ha nye eze Asịrịa, ma ihe ndị a enyereghị ya aka.
22 In the time of his distress, he trespassed yet more against the LORD, this same King Ahaz.
Nʼoge nsogbu ya, eze Ehaz gakwara nʼihu bụrụ onye na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi nye Onyenwe anyị.
23 For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus which had defeated him. He said, “Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me.” But they were the ruin of him and of all Israel.
Ọ chụrụ aja nye chi niile nke Damaskọs, bụ ndị meriri ya nʼagha. Ọ sịrị, “Nʼihi na chi nke ndị eze Aram nyeere ha aka, ha ka m ga-achụrụ aja, ka ha nwee ike nyere m aka.” Ma ha bụ ihe wetaara ya ọdịda, bụrụkwa ọdịda nye Izrel niile.
24 Ahaz gathered together the vessels of God’s house, cut the vessels of God’s house in pieces, and shut up the doors of the LORD’s house; and he made himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
Ehaz chịkọtara ngwongwo niile dị nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke, gbujasịa ha. O mechiri ọnụ ụzọ niile e si abanye nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, ma wuo ọtụtụ ebe ịchụ aja na nkuku ụzọ niile nʼime Jerusalem.
25 In every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked the LORD, the God of his fathers, to anger.
Nʼobodo niile ọbụla na Juda, o wuru ebe dị elu maka ịchụ aja dị iche iche nye chi ndị ọzọ, si otu a kpasuo Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke nna nna ya ha iwe.
26 Now the rest of his acts, and all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị ya, site na mmalite ruo ọgwụgwụ, ọ bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe mere nʼoge ndị eze Juda na Izrel?
27 Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem, because they didn’t bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
Ehaz soro nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼobodo Jerusalem, ma ọ bụghị nʼime ili ebe a na-eli ndị eze Izrel. Hezekaya nwa ya, ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
