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. He didn’t do that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, 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 also made molten images 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.
Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations 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.
He sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green 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.
Therefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria. They struck him, and carried away from him a great multitude of captives, and brought them to Damascus. He was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who struck 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 killed in Judah one 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.
Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king’s son, Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah who 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.
The children of Israel carried away captive of their brothers two hundred thousand women, sons, and daughters, and also took away much plunder from them, and brought the plunder 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 army that came to Samaria, and said to them, “Behold, because the LORD, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah, he has delivered them into your hand, and you have slain them in a rage which 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?
Now you intend to degrade the children of Judah and Jerusalem as male and female slaves for yourselves. Aren’t there even with you trespasses 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 you have taken captive from your brothers, for the fierce wrath of the LORD is on 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 some of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Yochanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against those who 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 to them, “You must not bring in the captives here, for you intend that which will bring on us a trespass against the LORD, to add to 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 plunder before the princes and all the assembly.
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.
The men who have been mentioned by name rose up and took the captives, and with the plunder clothed all who were naked amongst them, dressed them, gave them sandals, gave them something to eat and to drink, anointed them, carried all the feeble of them on donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brothers. 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 King Ahaz sent to 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 struck 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, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and also Gimzo and its villages; and they lived 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, because he acted without restraint in Judah and trespassed severely 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.
Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came to him and gave him trouble, but didn’t strengthen him.
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 took away a portion out of the LORD’s house, and out of the house of the king and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria; but it didn’t help him.
22 A i kona wa popilikia, hoonui ia i kona lawehala ana ia Iehova. Oia no ua alii la, o Ahaza.
In the time of his distress, he trespassed yet more 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 to the gods of Damascus which had defeated him. He said, “Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, I will 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.
Ahaz gathered together the vessels of God’s house, cut the vessels of God’s house in pieces, and shut up the doors of the LORD’s house; and he made himself 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.
In every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked the LORD, the God of his fathers, to anger.
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.
Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem, because they didn’t bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
