II Na Lii 16
1 I KA makahiki nmikumamahiku o Peka ke keiki a Remalia, i lilo ai o Ahaza, ke keiki a Iotama, ke alii o ka Iuda, i alii.
Ahaz, son of Jotham, became king of Judah in the seventeenth year of the reign of Pekah, son of Remaliah.
2 He iwakalua na makahiki o Ahaza i kona wa i lilo ai i alii, a he umikumamaono na makahiki ana i alii ai ma Ierusalema; aole ia i hana pono imua o Iehova kona Akua, e like me Davida kona kupuna.
Ahaz was twenty when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years. But unlike David his forefather, he did not do what was right in the sight of the Lord his God.
3 Aka, hele no ia ma ka aoao o na'lii o ka Iseraela, a hoohelo aku hoi i kana keiki iloko o ke ahi, e like me na mea hoowahawahaia o na lahuikanaka a Iehova i kipaku ae mai ke alo aku o na mamo a Iseraela.
He followed the ways of the kings of Israel, and he even sacrificed his son in the fire, participating in the disgusting practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.
4 A kaumaha aku no hoi a kuni i ka mea ala ma na heiau, a ma na pun, a malalo o na laau uliuli a pau.
He sacrificed and presented burnt offerings on the high places and on the hills and under every green tree.
5 Alaila hele mai o Rezina, ke alii o Suria, a me Peka ke keiki a Remalia, ke alii o ka Iseraela, i Ierusalema i ke kaua; a hoopilikia lakou ia Ahaza, aole e hiki ia lakou ke hoopio ia ia.
Rezin, king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came and attacked Jerusalem. They besieged Ahaz but couldn't defeat him.
6 Ia manawa, hoihoi aku la o Rezina, ke alii o Suria, ia Elata no Suria, a kipaku aka la i na Iudaio mai Elata aku: a hele mai ko Suria i Elata, a noho ilaila a hiki i keia manawa.
This was when Rezin, king of Aram, recovered Elath for Edom. He expelled the people of Judah, and sent Edomites to Elath, where they still live to this day.
7 A hoouna aku la o Ahaza i na elele ia Tigelatepilesera ke alii o Asuria, i aku la, Owau no kau kauwa, a o kau keiki hoi; e pii mai oe, a e hoopakele ia'u mai ka lima mai o ke alii o Suria, a mai ka lima mai o ke alii o ka Iseraela, e ku e mai ana ia'u.
Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, saying, “I'm your servant, and your son. Please come and rescue me from the kings of Aram and Israel who are attacking me.”
8 A lawe aku la o Ahaza i ke kala a me ke gula i loaa ma ka hale o Iehova, a ma ka waihonakala o ka hale o ke alii, a hoouna aku la i makana no ke alii o Asuria.
Ahaz took the silver and gold from the Lord's Temple and from the treasuries of the king's palace, and he sent it to the king of Assyria as a gift.
9 A hoolohe mai ke alii o Asuria ia ia; a hele aku la ke alii o Asuria i Damaseko, a hoopio aku la ia, a lawe pio aku la i kolaila ma Kira, a pepehi aku la ia Rezina.
The king of Assyria responded positively to him. He went and attacked Damascus, and captured it. He deported its inhabitants to Kir and executed Rezin.
10 A hele aku la o Ahaza ke alii e halawai me Tigelatepilesera ke alii o Asuria ma Damaseko; a ike aku la ia i kekahi kuahu ma Damaseko; a hoouna aku la o Ahaza ke alii io Uriia la ke kahuna i ke ano o ke kuahu a me kana kii, e like me ka hana'na o ia mea a pau.
King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-Pileser, king of Assyria. During his visit he saw an altar in Damascus, and he sent Uriah the priest a drawing of the altar, along with instructions how to build it.
11 A hana aku la o Uriia ke kahuna i ke kuahu e like me ka mea a pau a Ahaza ke alii i hoouna aku ai mai Damaseko aku; pela o Uriia ke kahuna i hana'i i ka hoi ana mai o Ahaza ke alii mai Damaseko mai.
So Uriah the priest built an altar following all the instructions King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, completing it before King Ahaz returned.
12 A hiki mai ke alii mai Damaseko mai, ike aku la ke alii i ke kuahu, a hele aku la a kokoke i ke kuahu, a kaumaha aku maluna ona.
When the king came back from Damascus he saw the altar. He went over to it and made offerings on it.
13 A puhi aku la i ka mohaikuni, a me kana mohai ai, a ninini iho la i kana mohai inu, a kapipi i ke koko o kana mau mohai hoomalu maluna o ke kuahu.
He presented his burnt offering and his grain offering, he poured out his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his friendship offerings on it.
14 A lawe mai no hoi ia i ke kuahu keleawe imua o Iehova mai ke alo mai o ka hale, maiwaena mai o ke kuahu a o ka hale o Iehova, a waiho aku la ia mea ma ka aoao akau o ke kuahu.
He also moved the bronze altar that stood before the Lord from the front of the Temple, between the new altar and the Lord's Temple, and he placed it to the north of the new altar.
15 A kauoha aku la o Ahaza ke alii ia Uriia ke kahuna, i aku la, Maluna o ke kuahu nui e puhi aku i ka mohaikuni kakahiaka, a me ka mohai ai o ke ahiahi, a me ka mohaikuni a ke alii, a me kana mohai ai, me ka mohaikuni a na kanaka a pau o ka aina, a me ka lakou mohai ai, a me ka lakou mohai inu; a e kapipi maluna ona i ke koko a pau o ka mohaikuni, a me ke koko a pau o ka mohai: a no'u ke kuahu keleawe e ninau aku ai.
Then King Ahaz ordered Uriah the priest: “Use this new important altar to offer the morning burnt offering, the evening grain offering, the king's burnt offering and grain offering, and the burnt offering of all the people, and their grain offerings and their drink offerings. Sprinkle on this altar the blood of all the burnt offerings and sacrifices. The old bronze altar I'll use for divination.”
16 A hana iho la o Uriia ke kahuna e like me na mea a pau a ke alii, a Ahaza i kauoha aku ai.
Uriah the priest followed King Ahaz's orders.
17 A oki iho o Ahaza ke alii i na kihi o na kumu, a lawe aku i ka ipu holoi mai o lakou aku; a lawe ae la ia i ka ipu nui mai na bipi keleawe mai malalo iho ona, a kau iho la ia mea maluna o na pohaku i hoonohoia.
King Ahaz also removed the frames of the movable carts, and also took out the bronze basin from each of them. He removed the Sea from the bronze bulls it rested on and placed it on a stone pedestal.
18 A o ka lanai no ka Sabati a lakou i kukulu ai ma ka hale, a o ke keena komo a ke alii mawaho, hoohuli ae la ia mai ka hale o Iehova aku no ke alii o Asuria.
He took down the Sabbath canopy they had built in the Temple, as well as the king's outer entrance to the Lord's Temple. He did this to please the king of Assyria.
19 A o na hana i koe a Ahaza, o na mea ana i hana'i, aole anei i kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iuda?
The rest of what happened in Ahaz's reign and all he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
20 A hiamoe iho la o Abaza me kona poe kupuna, a ua kanuia oia me kona poe kupuna ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida: a nobo alii iho la o Hezekia kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.
Ahaz died and was buried with his forefathers in the City of David. His son Hezekiah succeeded him as king.
