2 Sarakuna 16
1 A shekara ta goma sha bakwai ta mulkin Feka ɗan Remaliya, Ahaz ɗan Yotam sarkin Yahuda ya fara mulki.
In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah, Ahaz son of Jotham became king of Judah.
2 Ahaz ya zama sarki yana da shekara ashirin, ya kuma yi mulki shekara goma sha shida a Urushalima ba kamar Dawuda mahaifinsa ba. Ahaz bai yi abin da yake daidai a gaban Ubangiji Allahnsa ba.
Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. And unlike David his father, he did not do what was right in the eyes of the LORD his God.
3 Ya yi tafiya a hanyoyin sarakunan Isra’ila har ya miƙa ɗansa hadaya a wuta, yana bin hanyoyin banƙyama na al’ummai da Ubangiji ya kora a gaban Isra’ilawa.
Instead, he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and even sacrificed his son in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
4 Ya miƙa hadaya, ya kuma ƙona turare a masujadan tudu, da kan tuddai, da kuma a ƙarƙashin kowane babban itace.
And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.
5 Sai Rezin sarkin Aram, da Feka ɗan Remaliya sarkin Isra’ila suka haura don su kai wa Urushalima hari, suka kuma kewaye Ahaz, amma ba su iya shan ƙarfinsa ba.
Then Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to wage war against Jerusalem. They besieged Ahaz but could not overcome him.
6 A wannan lokaci, Rezin sarkin Aram ya sāke ƙwato Elat wa Aram ta wurin korar Yahuda. Sa’an nan mutanen Edom suka mamaye Elat suna kuwa zaune a can har yau.
At that time Rezin king of Aram recovered Elath for Aram, drove out the men of Judah, and sent the Edomites into Elath, where they live to this day.
7 Ahaz ya aika a faɗa wa Tiglat-Fileser sarkin Assuriya cewa, “Ni abokin tarayyarka ne kuma mai dogara da kai. Ka haura ka cece ni daga hannun sarkin Aram da hannun sarkin Isra’ila waɗanda suke kawo mini hari.”
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 hands of the kings of Aram and Israel, who are rising up against me.”
8 Ahaz ya ɗauki azurfa da zinariyar da suke a haikalin Ubangiji da suke kuma a ma’ajin fada ya aika wa sarkin Assuriya kyauta.
Ahaz also took the silver and gold found in the house of the LORD and in the treasuries of the king’s palace, and he sent it as a gift to the king of Assyria.
9 Sai sarkin Assuriya ya ji roƙonsa. Ya tashi ya fāɗa wa Damaskus da hari ya kuma kame ta. Ya kwashi mazaunanta zuwa Kir, ya kuma kashe Rezin.
So the king of Assyria responded to him, marched up to Damascus, and captured it. He took its people to Kir as captives and put Rezin to death.
10 Sa’an nan sarki Ahaz ya tafi Damaskus don yă sadu da Tiglat-Fileser sarkin Assuriya. Da ya kai can sai ya ga wani bagade a Damaskus, sai ya aika wa Uriya firist, da siffar bagaden, da fasalinsa, da cikakken bayanin bagaden.
Then King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria. On seeing the altar in Damascus, King Ahaz sent Uriah the priest a model of the altar and complete plans for its construction.
11 Saboda haka Uriya firist ya gina bagaden bisa ga tsarin da Sarki Ahaz ya aika masa daga Damaskus, ya kuma gama shi kafin Sarki Ahaz yă dawo.
And Uriah the priest built the altar according to all the instructions King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, and he completed it by the time King Ahaz had returned.
12 Da sarki ya dawo daga Damaskus ya ga bagaden, sai ya tafi kusa da shi ya kuma miƙa hadaya a bisansa.
When the king came back from Damascus and saw the altar, he approached it and presented offerings on it.
13 Ya miƙa hadayarsa ta ƙonawa da ta hatsi, ya zuba hadayarsa ta sha, ya kuma yayyafa jinin hadayunsa ta zumunci a bisa bagaden.
He offered his burnt offering and his grain offering, poured out his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings on the altar.
14 Sai ya cire bagaden tagulla wanda aka keɓe ga Ubangiji, ya sa shi a gaban haikalin wato, tsakanin ƙofar shiga haikalin Ubangiji da sabon bagaden. Ya ajiye shi a gefen arewa na sabon bagaden.
He also took the bronze altar that stood before the LORD from the front of the temple (between the new altar and the house of the LORD) and he put it on the north side of the new altar.
15 Sarkin Ahaz ya umarci Uriya cewa, “A kan babban sabon bagade, ka miƙa hadayar ƙonawa ta safe, da hadayar hatsi ta yamma, da hadayar sarki ta ƙonawa da hadayarsa ta hatsi, da hadaya ta dukan jama’ar ƙasar, tare da hadayan hatsinsu da kuma ta sha. Ka yayyafa jinin hadayun ƙonawa a kan bagade. Amma zan yi amfani da bagaden tagulla don neman bishewa.”
Then King Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest, “Offer on the great altar the morning burnt offering, the evening grain offering, and the king’s burnt offering and grain offering, as well as the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings of all the people of the land. Sprinkle on the altar all the blood of the burnt offerings and sacrifices. But I will use the bronze altar to seek guidance.”
16 Uriya firist kuwa ya yi duk abin da Sarki Ahaz ya umarta.
So Uriah the priest did just as King Ahaz had commanded.
17 Sarkin Ahaz ya kawar da katakon ya kuma ɗauke tasoshin daga mazauninsu da ake iya matsarwa. Ya ɗauke ƙaton kwano mai suna Teku daga kan bijiman tagullar da ya tallafe su ya ajiye a kan mazaunin dutse.
King Ahaz also cut off the frames of the movable stands and removed the bronze basin from each of them. He took down the Sea from the bronze oxen that were under it and put it on a stone base.
18 Ya kawar da rumfa Asabbacin da aka gina a haikalin, ya kuma kawar da mashigin sarki na waje da haikalin Ubangiji, duk dai don yă gamshi sarkin Assuriya.
And on account of the king of Assyria, he removed the Sabbath canopy they had built in the temple and closed the royal entryway outside the house of the LORD.
19 Game da sauran ayyukan mulkin Ahaz, abubuwan da ya yi, duk a rubuce suke a cikin littafin tarihin sarakunan Yahuda.
As for the rest of the acts of Ahaz, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
20 Ahaz ya huta tare da kakanninsa, aka kuma binne shi da su a Birnin Dawuda. Hezekiya ɗansa kuma ya gāje shi.
And Ahaz rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David, and his son Hezekiah reigned in his place.
