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 twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: he did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord as David his father had done,
2 Aathiiaga na mĩthiĩre ya athamaki a Isiraeli, o na ningĩ agĩthondeka mĩhianano ya Baali ya gũtwekio ya kũhooyagwo.
But walked in the ways of the kings of Israel; moreover also he cast statues for Baalim.
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.
It was he that burnt incense in the valley of Benennom, and consecrated his sons in the fire according to the manner of the nations, which the Lord slew at the coming of the children of Israel.
4 Nĩaarutire magongona na agĩcinĩra ũbumba kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, na tũcũmbĩrĩ-inĩ twa irĩma, na rungu rwa mĩtĩ ĩrĩa mĩruru.
He sacrificed also, and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green 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 hands of the king of Syria, who defeated him, and took a great booty out of his kingdom, and carried it to Damascus: he was also delivered into the hands of the king of Israel, who overthrew 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.
For Phacee the son of Romelia slew of Juda a hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all valiant men: because they had forsaken the Lord the 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.
At the same time Zechri a powerful man of Ephraim, slew Maasias the king’s son, and Ezricam the governor of his house, and Elcana who was next to the king.
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 carried away of their brethren two hundred thousand women, boys, and girls, and an immense booty: and they brought it 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.
At that time there was a prophet of the Lord there, whose name was Oded: and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria, and said to them: Behold the Lord the God of your fathers being angry with Juda, hath delivered them into your hands, and you have butchered them cruelly, so that your cruelty hath reached up 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?
Moreover you have a mind to keep under the children of Juda and Jerusalem for your bondmen and bondwomen, which ought not to be done: for you have sinned in this against the Lord your God.
11 Rĩu ta gĩthikĩrĩriei! Cookiai andũ a bũrũri wanyu arĩa mũnyiitĩte mĩgwate, nĩgũkorwo marakara mahiũ ma Jehova marĩ igũrũ rĩanyu.”
But hear ye my counsel, and release the captives that you have brought of your brethren, because a great indignation of the Lord hangeth over 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.
Then some of the chief men of the sons of Ephraim, Azarias the son of Johanan, Barachias the son of Mosollamoth, Ezechias the son of Sellum, and Amasa the son of Adali, stood up against them 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 they said to them: You shall not bring in the captives hither, lest we sin against the Lord. Why will you add to our sins, and heap up upon our former offences? for the sin is great, and the fierce anger of the Lord hangeth over Israel.
14 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio thigari ikĩrekereria mĩgwate na indo iria ciatahĩte, o hau mbere ya anene na ya kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe.
So the soldiers left the spoils, and all that they had taken, before the princes and all the multitude.
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, whom we mentioned above, rose up and took the captives, and with the spoils clothed all them that were naked: and when they had clothed and shed them, and refreshed them with meat and drink, and anointed them because of their labour, and had taken care of them, they set such of them as could not walk, and were feeble, upon beasts, and brought them to Jericho the city of palm trees to 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 the Assyrians asking help.
17 Andũ a Edomu nĩmookĩte rĩngĩ na magatharĩkĩra Juda, na magakuua mĩgwate,
And the Edomites came and slew many of Juda, and took a great booty.
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.
The Philistines also spread themselves among the cities of the plains, and to the south of Juda: and they took Bethsames, and Aialon, and Gaderoth, and Socho, and Thamnan, and Gamzo, with their villages, and they dwelt in them.
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 had humbled Juda because of Achaz the king of Juda, for he had stripped it of help, and had contemned the Lord.
20 Nake Tigilathu-Pileseru mũthamaki wa Ashuri agĩũka kũrĩ we, no handũ ha kũmũteithia nĩkũmũthĩĩnia aamũthĩĩnirie.
And he brought, against him Thelgathphalnasar king of the Assyrians, who also afflicted him, and plundered him without any resistance.
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 stripped the house of the Lord, and the house of the kings, and of the princes, and gave gifts to the king of the Assyrians, and yet it availed him nothing.
22 Mahinda macio make ma thĩĩna-rĩ, Mũthamaki Ahazu no gũkĩrĩrĩria aakĩrĩrĩirie kwaga wĩhokeku harĩ Jehova.
Moreover also in the time of his distress he increased contempt against the Lord: king Achaz himself by himself,
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.
Sacrificed victims to the gods of Damascus that struck him, and he said: The gods of the kings of Syria help them, and I will appease them with victims, and they will help me; whereas on the contrary they were the ruin of him, and of 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.
Then Achaz having taken away all the vessels of the house of God, and broken them, shut up the doors of the temple of God, and made himself altars in all the corners of 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 all the cities of Juda he built altars to burn frankincense, and he provoked the Lord the God of his fathers to wrath.
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.
But the rest of his acts, and all his works first and last 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 they buried him in the city of Jerusalem: for they received him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel. And Ezechias his son reigned in his stead.
