2 Ndị Eze 16
1 Ehaz nwa Jotam, malitere ịbụ eze Juda nʼafọ nke iri na asaa nke ọchịchị eze Peka nwa Remalaya eze Izrel.
In the seventeenth year of Phakee son of Romelias began Achaz the son of Joatham king of Juda to reign.
2 Ehaz gbara iri afọ abụọ mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze. Afọ iri na isii ka ọ chịkwara nʼime Jerusalem, ma o meghị ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke ya, dịka nna ya Devid mere.
Twenty years old was Achaz 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 his God faithfully, as David his father [had done].
3 Ọ gbasoro ụzọ niile nke ndị eze Izrel, ọbụladị i ji nwa ya nwoke chụọ aja nʼọkụ. Ọ gbasoro omenaala niile rụrụ arụ nke ndị mba ọzọ, ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị chụpụrụ site nʼihu ndị Izrel.
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yes, he made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.
4 Ọ chụrụ aja surekwaa ihe nsure ọkụ aja na-esi isi ụtọ nʼebe niile dị elu, nʼelu ugwu niile, na nʼokpuru osisi ndụ ọbụla.
And he sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places, and upon the hills, and under every shady tree.
5 Mgbe ahụ, Rezin eze Aram na Peka nwa Remalaya, eze Izrel rigooro ịga buso Jerusalem agha, gbakwaa Ehaz gburugburu. Ma ha emerighị ya nʼagha.
Then went up Raasson king of Syria and Phakee son of Romelias king of Israel against Jerusalem to war, and besieged Achaz, but could not prevail [against him].
6 Nʼoge ahụ, Rezin eze Aram dọtaghachiri obodo Elat nye onwe ya, site na ị chụpụ ndị Juda bi nʼElat. Ndị Edọm bara nʼobodo Elat, ha bikwa nʼebe ahụ ruo taa.
At that time Raasson king of Syria recovered Aelath to Syria, and drove out the Jews from Aelath, and the Idumeans came to Aelath, and lived there until this day.
7 Ehaz zigara ndị ozi ka ha gaa zie Tiglat-Pilesa, eze ndị Asịrịa ozi, sị ya, “Abụ m ohu gị, onyenwe m ka ị bụ. Bịa napụta m site nʼaka eze ndị Aram na eze ndị Izrel, ndị na-ebuso m agha.”
And Achaz sent messengers to Thalgath-phellasar king of the Assyrians, saying, I am your servant and your son: come up, deliver me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who are rising up against me.
8 Ehaz weere ọlaedo na ọlaọcha ahụtara nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, na nke dị nʼakụ niile dị nʼụlọeze zigara eze Asịrịa dịka onyinye.
And Achaz took the silver and the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king's house, and sent gifts to the king.
9 Eze ndị Asịrịa ṅara ya ntị site nʼibuso obodo Damaskọs agha na imeri ya. O gburu Rezin, bulaa mmadụ niile bi nʼime ya nʼike ka ha gaa biri nʼobodo Kia.
And the king of the Assyrians listened to him: and the king of the Assyrians went up to Damascus and took it, and removed the inhabitants, and killed king Raasson.
10 Mgbe eze Ehaz gara Damaskọs izute Tiglat-Pilesa bụ eze Asịrịa. Ọ hụrụ otu ebe nchụaja nke dị na Damaskọs. O zigaara Ụraya onye nchụaja oyiyi ebe ịchụ aja ahụ. O dekwara ihe gbasara ya nʼakwụkwọ, nke ga-akọwa otu e si ewu ya.
And king Achaz went to Damascus to meet Thalgath-phellasar king of the Assyrians at Damascus; and he saw an altar at Damascus. And king Achaz sent to Urias the priest the pattern of the altar, and its proportions, and all its workmanship.
11 Ya mere, Ụraya onye nchụaja, wuru ebe ịchụ aja nke dị ka nke ahụ Ehaz hụrụ na Damaskọs. O wuchara ya tupu eze alọta.
And Urias the priest built the altar, according to all [the directions] which king Achaz sent from Damascus.
12 Mgbe eze si Damaskọs lọta na Juda, ọ hụrụ ebe ịchụ aja ahụ, bịaruo ya nso, doo onyinye ịchụ aja ya nʼelu ya.
And the king saw the altar, and went up to it,
13 Ọ chụrụ aja nsure ọkụ, na aja ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ, na aja onyinye mkpụrụ ọka. Ọ wụkwasịrị onyinye ihe ọṅụṅụ nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja ahụ, fesakwa ọbara aja udo ya niile nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja ahụ.
and offered his whole burnt offering, and his meat-offering, and his drink-offering, and poured out the blood of his peace-offerings on the brazen altar that was before the Lord.
14 O wepụrụ ebe ịchụ aja bronz nke dị nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, o sitere nʼebe ọ dị nʼihu ụlọnsọ ahụ, nʼetiti ebe ịchụ aja ọhụrụ na ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, bute ya nʼakụkụ ugwu nke ebe ịchụ aja ọhụrụ ya.
And he brought forward [the one] before the house of the Lord from between the altar and the house of the Lord, and he set it openly by the side of the altar northwards.
15 Eze Ehaz nyere Ụraya, bụ onyeisi nchụaja iwu, sị, “Ọ bụ nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja ọhụrụ a ka ị ga na-esure aja nsure ọkụ ụtụtụ niile, na onyinye mkpụrụ ọka nke uhuruchi niile, na aja nsure ọkụ eze, na onyinye mkpụrụ ọka nke eze, na aja na onyinye nke ndị niile nʼala a, ya na onyinye mkpụrụ ọka ha niile na onyinye ihe ọṅụṅụ ha niile. Fekwasị ọbara niile e ji chụọ aja nsure ọkụ na aja ndị ọzọ nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja ahụ. Ma ebe ịchụ aja ọla ahụ ga-adịrị m iji jụta ase.”
And king Achaz charged Urias the priest, saying, Offer upon the great altar the whole burnt offering in the morning and the meat-offering in the evening, and the whole burnt offering of the king, and his meat-offering, and the whole burnt offering of all the people, and their meat-offering, and their drink-offering; and you shall pour all the blood of the whole burnt offering, and all the blood of [any other] sacrifice upon it: and the brazen altar shall be for me in the morning.
16 Ụraya onye nchụaja mere ihe niile dịka eze Ehaz nyere ya nʼiwu.
And Urias the priest did according to all that king Achaz commanded him.
17 Eze bụ Ehaz wepụrụ ihe njikọ niile jikọrọ ihe ndọkwasị ahụ niile a na-ebugharị ebugharị. O wepụrụ efere ukwu ịdọba mmiri a dọkwasịrị nʼelu ehi ọla ahụ dị nʼokpuru ya, ma dọkwasị ya nʼelu nkume.
And king Achaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them, and took down the sea from the brazen oxen that were under it, and set it upon a base of stone.
18 Nʼihi imekwa ka obi tọọ eze Asịrịa ụtọ, o wepụrụ ụzọ a na-esite maka ụbọchị izuike nke e wuru nʼime ụlọnsọ, na ụzọ mbata eze si abanye nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
And he made a base for the throne in the house of the Lord, and he turned the king's entrance without in the house of the Lord because of the king of the Assyrians.
19 Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Ehaz, na ihe ndị o mere, ọ bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe mere nʼoge ndị eze Juda?
And the rest of the acts of Achaz, even all that he did, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
20 Ehaz soro nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼebe e liri ha nʼobodo Devid. Hezekaya nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
And Achaz slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Ezekias his son reigned in his stead.
