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 began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and he did not that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, like David his father;

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.

but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for the Baalim.

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.

Moreover he offered in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the children 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.

And he sacrificed and offered 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.

Wherefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Aram; and they smote him, and carried away of his a great multitude of captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter.

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.

For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah a hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all of them valiant men; 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.

And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah that was next 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 children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil 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.

But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded; and he went out to meet the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them: 'Behold, because the LORD, the God of your fathers, was wroth with Judah, He hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage which hath reached up unto 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?

And now ye purpose to bring the children of Judah and Jerusalem into subjection for bondmen and bondwomen unto you; but are there not even with you acts of guilt of your own 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.

Now hear me therefore, and send back the captives, that ye have taken captive of your brethren; for the fierce wrath of the LORD is upon 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;

Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Jehohanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against them that came from the war,

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 said unto them: 'Ye shall not bring in the captives hither; for ye purpose that which will bring upon us guilt against the LORD, to add unto our sins and to our guilt; for our guilt is great, and there is fierce wrath against 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.

So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation.

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 that have been mentioned by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm-trees, unto their brethren; then they returned to Samaria.

16 Ia manawa hoouna o Ahaza ke alii ma na'lii o Asuria i kokua mai lakou ia ia.

At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him.

17 No ka mea, ua hele hou mai ka Edoma, a pepehi i ka Iuda, a lawe pio i kekahi poe.

For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives.

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.

The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the Lowland, and of the South of Judah, and had taken Beth-shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Soco with the towns thereof, and Timnah with the towns thereof, Gimzo also and the towns thereof; and they dwelt there.

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 brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he had cast away restraint in Judah, and acted treacherously against 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 Tillegath-pilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not.

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.

For Ahaz stripped the house of the LORD, and the house of the king and the princes, and gave thereof unto the king of Assyria; but it helped him not.

22 A i kona wa popilikia, hoonui ia i kona lawehala ana ia Iehova. Oia no ua alii la, o Ahaza.

And in the time of his distress did he act even more treacherously against the LORD, this same king Ahaz.

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.

For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him; and he said: 'Because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me.' But they were 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 Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD; and he made him altars in every corner 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.

And in every city of Judah he made high places to offer unto other gods, and provoked the LORD, the God of his fathers.

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.

Now the rest of his acts, and all his ways, first and last, behold, they are 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, even in Jerusalem; for they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
