II Oihanaalii 28
1 HE iwakalua makahiki ko Ahaza i kona wa i alii ai, a noho alii iho la ia ma Ierusalema, he umikumamaono makahiki; aole i hana pololei oia imua o Iehova e like me Davida kona kupuna.
Ahaz was twenty years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do what is right in the sight of the Lord, as his father David did.
2 Aka, hele ia ma na aoao o na'lii o ka Iseraela, a hana iho la ia i na kii i hooheheeia no Baala.
Instead, he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel. Moreover, he also cast statues for the Baals.
3 Ua kuni no hoi ia i ka mea ala ma ke awawa o ke keiki a Hinoma, a puhi i kana mau keiki i ke ahi, e like me ka aoao hoopailua o na lahuikanaka e, ka poe a Iehova i kipaku aku ai imua o ke alo o ka poe mamo a Iseraela.
It is he who burned incense in the Valley of the son of Hinnom. And he purified his sons by fire, in accord with the ritual of the nations that the Lord put to death at the advent of the sons of Israel.
4 Ua mohai aku hoi ia, a kuni i ka mea ala ma na wahi kiekie maluna o na puu, a malalo iho o na laau uliuli a pau.
Also, he was sacrificing and burning incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every leafy tree.
5 No ia mea, haawi o Iehova kona Akua ia ia iloko o ka lima o ke alii o Suria; a ua hahau lakou ia ia, a ua lawe pio i kekahi poe nui loa o lakou, a alakai ia lakou i Damaseko: a ua haawiia no hoi ia iloko o ka lima o ke alii o ka Iseraela, a hahau mai oia ia ia ma ka hahau nui.
And so the Lord, his God, delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria, who struck him and took great plunder from his kingdom. And he carried it away to Damascus. Also, he was delivered into the hands of the king of Israel, and he struck him with great affliction.
6 No ka mea, pepehi o Peka ke keiki a Remalia ma Iuda i hookahi haneri me ka iwakalua tausani kanaka i ka la hookahi, he poe ikaika lakou a pau loa; no ka mea, ua haalele lakou ia Iehova, ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna.
And Pekah, the son of Remaliah, killed, on one day, one hundred twenty thousand, all of them men of war from Judah, because they had forsaken the Lord, the God of their fathers.
7 Ua pepehi o Zikeri, ke kanaka ikaika o Eperaima ia Maseia ke keiki a ke alii, a me Azerikama, ka luna o ka hale, a me Elekama, ka mea malalo iho o ke alii.
In the same time, Zichri, a powerful man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah, the son of the king, and Azrikam, the governor of his house, and also Elkanah, who was second to the king.
8 A ua lawe pio aku ka poe mamo a Iseraela i elua haneri tausani o ko lakou poe hoahanau, he poe wahine, a he poe keiki kane, a he poe kaikamahine; a lawe no hoi lakou i ka waiwai pio he nui loa, a halihali lakou i ka waiwai pio i Samaria.
And the sons of Israel seized, from their brothers, two hundred thousand women, boys, and girls, and immense plunder. And they took it away to Samaria.
9 Aia malaila kekahi kaula o Iehova, Odeda kona inoa; hele ia iwaho e halawai pu me ka poe koa i ko lakou komo ana iloko o Samaria, a olelo aku la oia ia lakou, Aia hoi, i ka huhu ana o Iehova ke Akua o ko oukou poe kupuna i ka Iuda, ua haawi mai oia ia lakou iloko o ko oukou mau lima, a ua luku oukou ia lakou me ka huhu i hiki loa aku i ka lani.
At that time, there was a prophet of the Lord there, named Oded. And going out to meet the army arriving in Samaria, he said to them: “Behold, the Lord, the God of your fathers, having become angry against Judah, has delivered them into your hands. But you have killed them by atrocities, so that your cruelty has reached up to heaven.
10 A ke manao nei oukou e hoohaahaa i ko Iuda a me ko Ierusalema a lilo lakou i poe kauwakane, a i poe kauwawahine na oukou: aka, o oukou, aole anei iwaena o oukou no hoi kekahi, ka hana hewa ana'ku ia Iehova i ko oukou Akua?
Moreover, you wanted to subjugate the sons of Judah and Jerusalem as your men and women servants, which is a work that should never be done. And so you sinned in this matter against the Lord your God.
11 Ano, e hoolohe mai oukou ia'u, e hoihoi aku i ka poe pio a oukou i lawe pio mai ai noloko mai o ko oukou poe hoahanau; no ka mea, ua wela ka huhu o Iehova maluna o oukou.
But listen to my counsel, and release the captives, whom you have brought from your brothers. For a great fury of the Lord is hanging over you.”
12 Alaila, ku ae la iluna kekahi poe no na luna o ka Eperaima, o Azaria, ke keiki a Iehohana, o Berekia ke keiki a Meselemota, Iehizekia ke keiki a Saluma, a me Amasa ke keiki a Hadelai, a ku e lakou i ka poe i hoi mai mai ke kaua mai;
And so, some of the leaders of the sons 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 were arriving from the battle.
13 Olelo aku la ia lakou, Mai lawe mai oukou i ka poe pio iloko nei; aia hoi, ua hewa kakou ia Iehova, a ke manao nei oukou e hoonui i ko kakou hewa, a me ko kakou lawehala; no ka mea, ua nui ko kakou hala, a ua wela ka huhu maluna o ka Iseraela.
And they said to them: “You shall not lead back captives to here, lest we sin against the Lord. Why are you willing to add to our sins, and to build upon our old offenses? For indeed, the sin is great, and the furious anger of the Lord is hanging over Israel.”
14 Alaila, haalele ka poe koa i ka poe pio, a me ka waiwai pio imua o na alii, a imua o ka ahakanaka a pau.
And the warriors released the spoils and all that they had seized, in the sight of the leaders and the entire multitude.
15 A ku ae la iluna ua poe kanaka la i oleloia'i ko lakou inoa, a lawe lakou i ua poe pio la, a no ka waiwai pio hoaahu i ka poe o lakou i nele i ke kapa ole, a kahiko ia lakou, a hawele ia lakou i na kamaa, a haawi i ka ai na lakou, a hoohainu, a kahinu ia lakou i ka aila, a hooee i ka poe nawaliwali maluna o na hoki, a alakai ia lakou i Ieriko i ke kulanakauhale laau loulu, i ko lakou poe hoahanau: a hoi lakou i Samaria.
And the men, whom we mentioned above, rose up and took the captives. All those who were naked, they clothed from the spoils. And when they had clothed them, and had given them shoes, and had refreshed them with food and drink, and had anointed them because of the hardship, and had cared for them, whoever was not able to walk and whoever was feeble in body, they set them upon beasts of burden, and they led them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brothers, and they themselves returned to Samaria.
16 Ia manawa hoouna o Ahaza ke alii ma na'lii o Asuria i kokua mai lakou ia ia.
In that time, king Ahaz sent to the king of the Assyrians, requesting assistance.
17 No ka mea, ua hele hou mai ka Edoma, a pepehi i ka Iuda, a lawe pio i kekahi poe.
And the Edomites arrived and struck down many of Judah, and they seized great plunder.
18 A o ko Pilisetia, ua hao lakou i na kulanakauhale ma na awawa, a ma ke kukulu hema o Iuda, a ua hoopio ia Betesemesa, a me Aialona, a me Gederota, a me Soko, a me na kauhale e pili ana ilaila, a me Timena, a me na kauhale e pili ana ilaila, a me Gimezo, a me na kauhale e pili ana ilaila; a noho iho la lakou ma ia mau wahi.
Also, the Philistines spread out among the cities of the plains, and to the south of Judah. And they seized Beth-shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and also Soco, and Timnah, and Gimzo, with their villages, and they lived in them.
19 No ka mea, hoohaahaa loa o Iehova i ka Iuda no ka hewa o Ahaza, ke alii o ka Iseraela; no ka mea, ua hookuu aku oia i ka Iuda i lawehala loa ia Iehova.
For the Lord had humbled Judah because of Ahaz, the king of Judah, since he had stripped it of help, and had shown contempt for the Lord.
20 A hele mai la io na la o Tilegata-pilenesera, ke alii o Asuria, a hoopilikia ia ia, aole hoi i kokua ia ia.
And he led against him Tilgath-pilneser, the king of the Assyrians, who also afflicted him and laid waste to him, without resistance.
21 No ka mea, ua mahele o Ahaza i na mea iloko o ka hale o Iehova, a me ka hale o ke alii, a o na alii iho, a haawi aku na ke alii o Asuria; aole nae ia i kokua mai ia ia.
And so Ahaz, despoiling the house of the Lord, and the house of the kings and the leaders, gave gifts to the king of the Assyrians, and yet it profited him nothing.
22 A i kona wa popilikia, hoonui ia i kona lawehala ana ia Iehova. Oia no ua alii la, o Ahaza.
Moreover, in the time of his anguish, he also added to his contempt against the Lord. King Ahaz himself, by himself,
23 Ua mohai ia i na akua o Damaseko, na mea i pepehi mai ia ia; a olelo iho la ia, No ka mea, o na akua o na'lii o Suria, ua kokua ia mau mea ia lakou, no ia mea, e mohai aku au ia lakou, i kokua mai lakou ia'u. Aka, ua lilo lakou i mea e make ai ia, a me ka Iseraela a pau.
immolated victims to the gods of Damascus, those who had struck him. And he said: “The gods of the kings of Syria assist them, and so I will please them with victims, and they will help me.” But to the contrary, they had been the ruin of him and of all Israel.
24 A houluulu o Ahaza i na kiaha o ka hale o ke Akua, a okioki oia ia mau kiahi o ka hale o ke Akua, a pani ia i na puka o ka hale o Iehova, a hana iho la nona i mau kuahu ma na huina a pau o Ierusalema.
And so, Ahaz, having despoiled and broken apart all the vessels of the house of God, closed up the doors of the temple of God, and made for himself altars in all the corners of Jerusalem.
25 A ma kela kulanakauhale, keia kulanakauhale o Iuda, hana iho la ia i na wahi kiekie e kuni i ka mea ala i na akua e, a hoonaukiuki iho la oia ia Iehova i ke Akua o kona poe kupuna.
Also, he constructed altars in all the cities of Judah, in order to burn frankincense, and so he provoked the Lord, the God of his fathers, to wrath.
26 A o ke koena o kana mau hana, a o kona aoao a pau, ka mua a me ka hope, aia hoi, ua kakauia iloko o ka buke no na'lii o ka Iuda a me ka Iseraela.
But the rest of his words, and all his works, the first and the last, have been written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
27 A hiamoe iho la o Ahaza me kona poe kupuna, a ua kanu lakou ia ia iloko o ke kulanakauhale ma Ierusalema; aka, aole lakou i waiho ia ia ma na wahi e kanu ai no na'lii o Iseraela; a noho alii iho la o Hezekia kana keiki mahope ona.
And Ahaz slept with his fathers. And they buried him in the city of Jerusalem. And they did not allow him to be in the sepulchers of the kings of Israel. And his son, Hezekiah, reigned in his place.
