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.
In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah, Ahaz son of Jotham king of Judah, began to reign.
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 years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do what was right in the eyes of Yahweh his God, as David his ancestor had done.
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.
Instead, he walked in the way of the kings of Israel; indeed, he made his son pass through the fire, following the detestable practices of the nations, which Yahweh had driven out before the people of Israel.
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 offered sacrifices and burned incense at the high places, on the hilltops, 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.
Then Rezin, king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to attack. They besieged Ahaz, but they could not conquer 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.
At that time, Rezin king of Aram recovered Elath for Aram and drove the men of Judah out of Elath. Then the Arameans came to Elath where they have lived 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.
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 hand of the king of Aram and from the hand of the king of Israel, who have attacked 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.
So Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of Yahweh and among the treasures of the king's palace and he sent it as a gift to the king of Assyria.
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.
Then the king of Assyria listened to him, and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, conquered it and carried off its people as prisoners to Kir. He also killed Rezin the king of Aram.
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. At Damascus he saw an altar. He sent to Uriah the priest a model of the altar and its pattern and the design for all the workmanship needed.
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 to be just like the plans that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus. He finished it before King Ahaz arrived back from Damascus.
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 from Damascus he saw the altar; the king approached the altar 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 made his burnt offering and his grain offering, poured out his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his fellowship offerings on the altar.
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.
The bronze altar that was before Yahweh—he brought it from the front of the temple, from between his altar and the temple of Yahweh and put it on the north side of his 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 commanded Uriah the priest, saying, “On the large altar burn the morning burnt offering and the evening grain offering, and the king's burnt offering and his grain offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their grain offering and their drink offerings. Sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice. But the bronze altar will be for me to consult for guidance.”
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 did just what King Ahaz commanded.
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.
Then King Ahaz removed the panels and the basins from the portable stands; he also took down the sea from off the bronze oxen that were under it and put it on a stone pavement.
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 removed the covered walkway for the Sabbath that they had built at the temple, along with the king's entry outside the temple of Yahweh, because of 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?
As for the other matters concerning Ahaz and what he did, are they not written in the book of the events 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 slept with his ancestors and was buried with his ancestors in the city of David. Hezekiah his son became king in his place.
