1 Ahaz yana da shekara ashirin sa’ad da ya zama sarki, ya kuma yi mulki a Urushalima shekara goma sha shida. Ba kamar Dawuda kakansa ba, bai yi abin da yake daidai a gaban Ubangiji ba.
Ahaz was 20 years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. His ancestor King David was a good king, but Ahaz was not like David. He constantly disobeyed Yahweh
2 Ya yi tafiya a hanyoyin sarakunan Isra’ila ya kuma yi zubin gumaka domin a bauta wa Ba’al.
and was as sinful as the kings of Israel had been. He made idols of the god Baal.
3 Ya ƙone hadayu a Kwarin Ben Hinnom, ya kuma miƙa’ya’yansa maza a cikin wuta, yana bin hanyoyi banƙyama na al’umman da Ubangiji ya kora a gaban Isra’ilawa.
He burned incense in Hinnom Valley. He even [killed some of] his own sons [and] offered [them] as sacrifices to be completely burned. That imitated the disgusting customs of the people-groups who previously lived there, people whom Yahweh had expelled as the Israelis advanced through the land.
4 Ya miƙa hadayu, ya kuma ƙone turare a masujadan kan tudu, a bisa tuddai da kuma ƙarƙashin kowane itace mai inuwa.
Ahaz offered sacrifices [to idols] at shrines on hilltops and under every big green tree.
5 Saboda haka Ubangiji Allahnsa ya miƙa shi ga sarkin Aram. Arameyawa suka ci shi a yaƙi, suka kuma kwashe mutanensa da yawa a matsayin’yan kurkuku, suka kawo Damaskus. Ya kuma ba da shi ga sarkin Isra’ila, wanda ya jijji masa a yaƙi.
Therefore Yahweh his God allowed his army to be defeated by the army of the king of Syria. They captured many soldiers of Judah and took them as prisoners to Damascus. The army of the king of Israel also defeated the army of Judah and killed very many of their soldiers.
6 A rana ɗaya Feka ɗan Remaliya ya kashe sojoji dubu ɗari da dubu ashirin a Yahuda, domin Yahuda sun yashe Ubangiji Allah na kakanninsu.
In one day the army of Remaliah’s son, King Pekah [of Israel], killed 120,000 soldiers in Judah. That happened because [the people of] Judah had abandoned Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped].
7 Zikri, wani jarumin Efraim, ya kashe Ma’asehiya ɗan sarki, Azrikam hafsa mai lura da fada, da kuma Elkana, mataimakin sarki.
Zicri, a warrior from the tribe of Ephraim, killed king Ahaz’s son Maaseiah, Azrikam the officer in charge of the palace, and Elkanah, the king’s assistant.
8 Isra’ilawa suka kame kamammu daga’yan’uwansu mata,’ya’ya maza da kuma’ya’ya mata dubu ɗari biyu. Suka kuma kwashe ganima mai yawan gaske, waɗanda suka kwasa zuwa Samariya.
The soldiers of Israel captured 200,000 of the people of Judah, including many wives and sons and daughters [of the soldiers of Judah]. They also seized and took back to Samaria many valuable things.
9 Amma wani annabin Ubangiji mai suna Oded yana a can, sai ya fito don yă sadu da mayaƙa sa’ad da suke komowa zuwa Samariya. Ya ce musu, “Domin Ubangiji Allah na kakanninku yana fushi da Yahuda, ya ba da su cikin hannunku. Sai kuka kashe su cikin fushin da ya kai sama.
But a prophet of Yahweh whose name was Obed was there [in Samaria]. He went out of the city to meet the army when it returned to Samaria. He said to them, “Because Yahweh, the God whom your ancestors [belonged to], was angry with [the people of] Judah, he allowed you to defeat them. But God has seen the cruel way that you slaughtered them.
10 Yanzu kuma kuna niyya ku mai da maza da matan Yahuda da Urushalima bayinku. Amma ku ɗin ba ku da laifin zunubi ga Ubangiji Allahnku ne?
And now you want to [sin by] causing men and women from Judah to become your slaves, but you have certainly also sinned against Yahweh our God!
11 To, ku saurare ni! Ku mai da’yan’uwanku da kuka kama a matsayin’yan kurkuku, gama fushin Ubangiji yana a kanku.”
So listen to me! Send back [to Judah] your fellow-countrymen whom you have captured, because Yahweh is extremely angry with you [for what you did to them].”
12 Sai waɗansu shugabanni a Efraim, Azariya ɗan Yehohanan, Berekiya ɗan Meshillemot, Hezekiya ɗan Shallum da Amasa ɗan Hadlai, suka tasar wa waɗanda suke isowa daga yaƙi.
Then some of the leaders of [the tribe of] Ephraim—Azariah the son of Jehohanan, Berekiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai—rebuked those who were returning from the battle.
13 Suka ce, “Dole ku kawo waɗannan’yan kurkukun a nan, ko kuwa za ku yi laifi a gaban Ubangiji. Kuna niyya ku ƙara ga zunubinmu da kuma laifinmu? Gama laifinmu ya riga ya yi yawa, kuma fushinsa mai tsanani yana a kan Isra’ila.”
They said to them, “You must not bring those prisoners here! If you do that, Yahweh will consider that we are guilty of sinning. We are already guilty of committing many sins; do you want to cause us to be even more guilty by committing another sin? God is already very angry with [us people of] Israel!”
14 Saboda haka sojoji suka ba da’yan kurkukun da ganima a gaban hafsoshi da dukan taron.
So, while their leaders and others were watching, the soldiers released the prisoners, and also gave back to them the valuable things that they had captured.
15 Sai mutanen da aka kira sunansu suka tashi, suka ɗauki kamammun, da ganimar, suka sa wa dukan waɗanda suke tsirara sutura. Suka sa musu sutura, suka ba su takalma, suka ba su abinci da abin sha, suka shafa musu mai. Suka hawar da dukan raunana a kan jakuna, suka kai su wurin’yan’uwansu a Yeriko, wato, Birnin Itatuwan Dabino, sa’an nan suka koma Samariya.
The leaders who were selected took some of the clothes that the soldiers had taken from the prisoners and gave those clothes back to the people who were naked. They also gave to the prisoners sandals and other clothes and things to eat and drink, and they gave them olive oil to rub on their wounds. They gave donkeys to those who were very weak, in order that they could ride on them. Then they led them all to Jericho, the city that had many palm trees. Then those leaders [of Israel] returned to Samaria.
16 A lokacin nan Sarki Ahaz ya aika wurin sarkin Assuriya neman taimako.
About that time, King Ahaz sent [a message] to the king of Assyria requesting help.
17 Mutanen Edom sun sāke zuwa suka yaƙi Yahuda suka kuma kwashe’yan kurkuku,
[He did that because the army from] the Edom people-group had come again and attacked Judah and taken away many of the people of Judah as prisoners.
18 yayinda Filistiyawa suka kai hari wa garuruwa a gindin tuddai da kuma a Negeb na Yahuda. Suka kame su suka kuma zauna a Bet-Shemesh, Aiyalon da Gederot, haka ma Soko, Timna da Gimzo tare da ƙauyuka kewayensu.
At the same time, men from Philistia had raided/attacked towns in the foothills and in the southern desert of Judah. They had captured Beth-Shemesh, Aijalon, and Gederoth [cities], as well as Soco, Timnah and Gimzo [towns] and the nearby villages.
19 Ubangiji ya ƙasƙantar da Yahuda saboda Ahaz sarkin Isra’ila, gama ya hadasa mugunta a Yahuda kuma ya kasance marar aminci ga Ubangiji.
Yahweh [allowed those things to happen in order to] humble king Ahaz, because he had encouraged the people of Judah to do wicked things and had disobeyed Yahweh very much.
20 Tiglat-Fileser sarkin Assuriya ya zo wurinsa, sai ya wahalar da sarki Ahaz maimakon taimakonsa.
Tiglath-Pileser, the king of Assyria, sent [his army saying that they would] help Ahaz, but instead of helping him, they caused him to experience trouble.
21 Ahaz ya ɗauki waɗansu abubuwa daga haikalin Ubangiji da kuma daga fadan sarki da kuma daga sarakuna, ya ba da su ga sarkin Assuriya, amma wannan bai taimake shi ba.
Ahaz’s [soldiers] took some of the [valuable] things from the temple and from the king’s palace and from other leaders of Judah and sent them to the king of Assyria [to pay him to help them], but the king of Assyria refused to help Ahaz.
22 Cikin lokacin wahalarsa Sarki Ahaz ya ƙara zama marar aminci ga Ubangiji.
While King Ahaz was experiencing those troubles, he disobeyed Yahweh even more.
23 Ya miƙa hadayu ga allolin Damaskus, waɗanda suka ci shi a yaƙi; gama ya yi tunani, “Da yake allolin sarakunan Aram sun taimake su, zan miƙa hadayu domin su taimake ni.” Amma suka zama sanadin fāɗuwarsa da kuma fāɗuwar dukan Isra’ila.
He offered sacrifices to the gods that were worshiped in Damascus, whose [army] had defeated his [army]. He thought, “The gods that are worshiped by the kings of Syria have helped them, so I will offer sacrifices to those gods in order that they will help me.” But worshiping those gods caused Ahaz and all of Israel to be ruined.
24 Ahaz ya tattara kayayyaki daga haikalin Allah ya kwashe su. Ya kulle ƙofofin haikalin Ubangiji ya kakkafa bagadai a kowace kusurwa a titin Urushalima.
Ahaz gathered all the furnishings [that were used] in the temple and broke them into pieces. He locked the doors of the temple and set up altars [for worshiping idols] at every street corner in Jerusalem.
25 A kowane gari a Yahuda, ya gina masujadan kan tudu don ƙone hadayu ga waɗansu alloli, ya kuma tsokane Ubangiji Allah na kakanninsa ya yi fushi.
In every town in Judah, his workers built shrines to burn sacrifices to other gods, and that caused Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped], to be very angry.
26 Sauran ayyukan mulkinsa da dukan hanyoyinsa, daga farko zuwa ƙarshe, suna a rubuce a littafin sarakunan Yahuda da Isra’ila.
A record of the other things that Ahaz did while he was the king, from when he started to rule until he died, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah and Israel’.
27 Ahaz ya huta tare da kakanninsa, aka kuma binne shi a birnin Urushalima, amma ba a sa shi a makabartan sarakunan Isra’ila ba. Sai Hezekiya ɗansa ya gāje shi a matsayin sarki.
Ahaz died and was buried in Jerusalem, but he was not buried in the tombs where the other kings [had been buried]. Then his son Hezekiah became the king.
