2 Maũndũ 28
1 Ahazu aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtandatũ. Nake ndaigana gwĩka maũndũ marĩa maagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, ta ũrĩa ithe Daudi eekĩte.
Achaz was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as David his father.
2 Aathiiaga na mĩthiĩre ya athamaki a Isiraeli, o na ningĩ agĩthondeka mĩhianano ya Baali ya gũtwekio ya kũhooyagwo.
But he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, for he made graven images.
3 Nake agĩcinĩra magongona kũu Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Beni-Hinomu, na akĩruta ariũ ake marĩ magongona ma gũcinwo na mwaki, arũmĩrĩire mĩthiĩre ĩrĩa ĩrĩ thaahu ya ndũrĩrĩ iria Jehova aaingatĩte ciehere mbere ya andũ a Isiraeli.
And [he sacrificed] to their idols in the valley of Benennom, and passed his children through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.
4 Nĩaarutire magongona na agĩcinĩra ũbumba kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, na tũcũmbĩrĩ-inĩ twa irĩma, na rungu rwa mĩtĩ ĩrĩa mĩruru.
And he burnt incense upon the high places, and upon the roofs, and under every shady tree.
5 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova Ngai wake akĩmũneana kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Suriata. Nao Asuriata makĩmũhoota na magĩtaha andũ ake aingĩ matuĩke mĩgwate, na makĩmatwara Dameski. O na ningĩ nĩaneanirwo moko-inĩ ma mũthamaki wa Isiraeli ũrĩa wamũringire iringa inene ma.
And the Lord his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and he smote him, and took captive of them a great band of prisoners, and carried him to Damascus. Also [God] delivered him into the hands of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter.
6 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũmwe-rĩ, Peka mũrũ wa Remalia nĩooragire thigari 120,000 kũu Juda, tondũ andũ a Juda nĩmatirikĩte Jehova, Ngai wa maithe mao.
And Phakee the son of Romelias king of Israel, slew in Juda in one day a hundred and twenty thousand mighty men; because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers.
7 Zikiri ũrĩa Mũefiraimu njamba ya ita akĩũraga Maaseia mũrũ wa mũthamaki, na Azirikamu ũrĩa warĩ mũmenyereri wa nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na Elikana ũrĩa warĩ wa keerĩ kuuma harĩ mũthamaki.
And Zechri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maasias the king's son, and Ezrican the chief of his house, and Elcana the king's deputy.
8 Andũ a Isiraeli magĩtaha kuuma kũrĩ ariũ a ithe wao atumia 200,000 na ariũ na aarĩ ao. Ningĩ no maatahire indo nyingĩ iria maacookire nacio Samaria.
And the children of Israel took captive of their brethren three hundred thousand, women, and sons, and daughters, and they spoiled them of much property, and brought the spoils to Samaria.
9 No rĩrĩ, mũnabii wa Jehova wetagwo Odedi aarĩ kuo, nake akiumagara agatũnge mbũtũ cia ita igĩcooka Samaria. Nake agĩciĩra atĩrĩ, “Tondũ Jehova, o we Ngai wa maithe manyu, nĩarakarĩire andũ a Juda-rĩ, nĩamaneanire moko-inĩ manyu. No inyuĩ nĩmũmooragĩte na marakara, namo nĩ makinyĩte o igũrũ.
And there was there a prophet of the Lord, his name [was] Oded: and he went out to meet the host that were coming to Samaria, and said to them, Behold, the wrath of the Lord God of your fathers [is] upon Juda, and he has delivered them into your hands, and ye have slain them in wrath, and it has reached even to heaven.
10 Na rĩrĩ, mũciirĩire gũtua arũme na andũ-a-nja a Juda na Jerusalemu ngombo cianyu. No githĩ o na inyuĩ mũtihĩtĩtie na mũkehĩria Jehova Ngai wanyu?
And now ye talk of keeping the children of Juda and Jerusalem for servants and handmaidens. Lo, am I not with you to testify for the Lord your God?
11 Rĩu ta gĩthikĩrĩriei! Cookiai andũ a bũrũri wanyu arĩa mũnyiitĩte mĩgwate, nĩgũkorwo marakara mahiũ ma Jehova marĩ igũrũ rĩanyu.”
And now hearken to me, and restore the prisoners of your brethren whom ye have taken: for the fierce anger of the Lord [is] upon you.
12 Hĩndĩ ĩyo atongoria amwe kũu Efiraimu, nao nĩ Azaria mũrũ wa Jehohanani, na Berekia mũrũ wa Meshilemothu, na Jehizikia mũrũ wa Shalumu, na Amasa mũrũ wa Hadilai, makĩrũgama nĩguo makaanie andũ acio moimaga mbaara-inĩ.
And the chiefs of the sons of Ephraim rose up, Udias the son of Joanas, and Barachias the son of Mosolamoth, and Ezekias the son of Sellem, and Amasias the son of Eldai, against those that came from the war,
13 Makĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũtikarehe mĩgwate ĩyo gũkũ, tũtikoonwo tũhĩtĩtie mbere ya Jehova, naguo ũndũ ũcio wongerere mehia na mahĩtia maitũ. Nĩgũkorwo mahĩtia maitũ o na rĩu nĩ maingĩ, namo marakara make mahiũ marĩ igũrũ rĩa Isiraeli.”
and said to them, Ye shall not bring in hither the prisoners to us, for whereas sin against the Lord [is] upon us, ye mean to add to our sins, and to our trespass: for our sin [is] great, and the fierce anger of the Lord [is] upon Israel.
14 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio thigari ikĩrekereria mĩgwate na indo iria ciatahĩte, o hau mbere ya anene na ya kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe.
So the warriors left the prisoners and the spoils before the princes and all the congregation.
15 Nao andũ arĩa maarĩ agwete na marĩĩtwa makĩoya mĩgwate ĩyo, na arĩa maarĩ njaga makĩmahumba nguo kuuma indo-inĩ iria ciatahĩtwo. Makĩmahe nguo na iraatũ, na irio na kĩndũ gĩa kũnyua, na maguta ma kũhonania. Nao arĩa othe mataarĩ na hinya makĩhaicio ndigiri igũrũ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmacookia kũrĩ andũ a bũrũri wao o kũu Jeriko, Itũũra Inene rĩa Mĩkĩndũ, nao magĩcooka Samaria.
And the men who were called by name rose up, and took hold of the prisoners, and clothed all the naked from the spoils, and gave them garments and shoes, and gave them [food] to eat, and [oil] to anoint themselves [with], and they helped also every one that was weak with asses, and placed them in Jericho, the city of palm-trees, with their brethren; and they returned to Samaria.
16 Na rĩrĩ, ihinda rĩu Mũthamaki Ahazu agĩtũmanĩra mũthamaki wa Ashuri amũteithie.
At that time king Achaz sent to the king of Assyria to help him, and on this occasion,
17 Andũ a Edomu nĩmookĩte rĩngĩ na magatharĩkĩra Juda, na magakuua mĩgwate,
because the Idumeans had attacked [him], and smitten Juda, and taken a number of prisoners.
18 na o hĩndĩ ĩyo nao Afilisti nĩmahũrĩte matũũra marĩa maarĩ mũhuro-inĩ wa irĩma, na Negevu kũu Juda. Nĩmatahire na magĩikara matũũra ma Bethi-Shemeshu, na Aijaloni, na Gederothu, o ũndũ ũmwe na Soko, na Timuna, na Gimuzo, na tũtũũra tũnini tũrĩa twamathiũrũrũkĩirie.
Also the Philistines had made an attack on the cities of the plain country, and the cities of the south of Juda, and taken Baethsamys, and [the things in the house of the Lord, and the things in the house of the king, and of the princes: and they gave to the king] Aelon, and Galero, and Socho and her villages, and Thamna and her villages, and Gamzo and her villages: and they dwelt there.
19 Nake Jehova nĩagithirie Juda gĩtĩĩo tondũ wa Ahazu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, nĩgũkorwo nĩoongereire waganu kũu Juda, na nĩagĩte kwĩhokeka mũno harĩ Jehova.
For the Lord humbled Juda because of Achaz king of Juda, because he grievously departed from the Lord.
20 Nake Tigilathu-Pileseru mũthamaki wa Ashuri agĩũka kũrĩ we, no handũ ha kũmũteithia nĩkũmũthĩĩnia aamũthĩĩnirie.
And there came against him Thalgaphellasar king of Assyria, and he afflicted him.
21 Ahazu akĩoya indo imwe kuuma hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova, na kuuma nyũmba-inĩ ya ũthamaki, na kuuma kũrĩ ariũ a mũthamaki, na agĩcihe mũthamaki wa Ashuri, no ũndũ ũcio ndwamũteithirie.
And Achaz took the things [that were] in the house of the Lord, and the things in the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave them to the king of Assyria: but he was no help to him,
22 Mahinda macio make ma thĩĩna-rĩ, Mũthamaki Ahazu no gũkĩrĩrĩria aakĩrĩrĩirie kwaga wĩhokeku harĩ Jehova.
but only [troubled him] in his affliction: and he departed yet more from the Lord, and king Achaz said,
23 Akĩrutĩra ngai cia Dameski iria ciamũhootete magongona, nĩgũkorwo eeciiragia atĩrĩ, “Kuona atĩ ngai cia athamaki a Suriata nĩcimateithĩtie-rĩ, nĩngũcirutĩra igongona nĩguo cindeithie o na niĩ.” No icio nĩcio ciamũniinire na ikĩniina Isiraeli rĩothe.
I will seek after the gods of Damascus that smite me. And he said, Forasmuch as the gods of the king of Syria themselves strengthen them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, and they will help me. But they became a stumbling-block to him, and to all Israel.
24 Ahazu agĩcookereria indo cia hekarũ ya Ngai na agĩcithaamia. Agĩcooka akĩhinga mĩrango ya hekarũ ya Jehova, na agĩaka igongona ikĩiyũra o koine-inĩ ciothe cia njĩra cia itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu.
And Achaz removed the vessels of the house of the Lord, and cut them in pieces, and shut the doors of the house of the Lord, and made to himself altars in every corner in Jerusalem:
25 Ningĩ o itũũra-inĩ rĩothe rĩa Juda agĩaka kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gwa kũrutĩra ngai ingĩ magongona ma njino, nake agĩthirĩkia Jehova, Ngai wa maithe make, agĩtũma arakare.
and in each several city in Juda he made high places to burn incense to strange gods: and they provoked the Lord God of their fathers.
26 Namo maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wake na mĩthiĩre yake yothe-rĩ, kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya mũthia-rĩ, maandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa athamaki a Juda na Isiraeli.
And the rest of his acts, and his deeds, the first and the last, behold, [they are] written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
27 Nake Ahazu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make na agĩthikwo itũũra-inĩ rĩa Jerusalemu, no ndaigirwo mbĩrĩra-inĩ cia athamaki a Isiraeli. Nake mũriũ Hezekia agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
And Achaz slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David; for they did not bring him into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Ezekias his son reigned in his stead.
