1 Hagi Ahasi'a 20'a kafu hu'neno, Juda vahe kinia efore huno Jerusalemi kumatera 16ni'a kafufi kinia mani'ne. Hagi agra negeho Deviti'ma fatgo avu'ava'ma hu'neaza huno Ra Anumzamofo avurera fatgo avu'avara osu'ne.

Ahaz was 20 years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. His ancestor King David was a good king, but Ahaz was not like David. He constantly disobeyed Yahweh

2 Hianagi agra ko'ma Israeli kini vahe'mo'zama hu'naza zamavu'zamava nezmavaririno, Bali havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunte'naza zana ainireti kremramra huno amema'a tro hunte'ne.

and was as sinful as the kings of Israel had been. He made idols of the god Baal.

3 Hagi ana mopafima mani'naza vahe'ma Ra Anumzamo'ma zamahekasopetreno Israeli vahe'ma mopazmima erizmi'nea vahetmimofo kefo hi'mnage avu'ava huno Ahasi'a Hinomu agupofi ofa nehuno, ne' mofavre naga'anena zamaheno tevefi Kresramana vu'ne.

He burned incense in Hinnom Valley. He even [killed some of] his own sons [and] offered [them] as sacrifices to be completely burned. That imitated the disgusting customs of the people-groups who previously lived there, people whom Yahweh had expelled as the Israelis advanced through the land.

4 Hagi Ahasi'a havi anumzama mono'ma hunentaza agona kumatmimpine, zafa agafafine, havi anumzamofontera ofa nehuno, mnanentake zana kremna vu'ne.

Ahaz offered sacrifices [to idols] at shrines on hilltops and under every big green tree.

5 E'ina higeno Ra Anumza agri Anumzamo'a Siria kini ne'mofo azampi Ahasina avrentegeno hara hu agatereno, rama'a vahekrerfa kina huzmanteno zamavareno Damaskasi kumate ome nezmantegeno, ana zanke huno Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli kini ne'mofo azampi Ahasina avrentegeno hara hunteno, rama'a sondia vahe'a hazenkea zami'ne.

Therefore Yahweh his God allowed his army to be defeated by the army of the king of Syria. They captured many soldiers of Judah and took them as prisoners to Damascus. The army of the king of Israel also defeated the army of Judah and killed very many of their soldiers.

6 Hagi Israeli kini ne' Remalia nemofo Peka'a magoke knafina, 120tauseni'a koro osu hankavenentake Juda sondia vahetmina zamahe fri'ne. Na'ankure zamagra Ra Anumzana zamagehe'i Anumzamofona zamefi humi'nazagu anara hu'ne.

In one day the army of Remaliah’s son, King Pekah [of Israel], killed 120,000 soldiers in Judah. That happened because [the people of] Judah had abandoned Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped].

7 Hagi kini ne'mofona mofavre'a Maseiama, kini ne'mofo kuma'ma kegavama hu'nea sondia ne' Azrika'ma, kini ne'mofoma eme amefi'ma hu'neno'ma vahe'ma kegavama nehia ne' Elkananena, maka magoke kna zupage Efraemi kumateti harafa sondia ne' Zikri'a zamahe vagare'ne.

Zicri, a warrior from the tribe of Ephraim, killed king Ahaz’s son Maaseiah, Azrikam the officer in charge of the palace, and Elkanah, the king’s assistant.

8 Hagi Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za Juda vahera zamafuhe'i a'nene, ne' mofavreramine, mofa'nezminena 200tauseni'a zamavare'za, ha'pinti'ma eri'za zantamina tusi zantamine eri'za Sameria rankumate vu'naze.

The soldiers of Israel captured 200,000 of the people of Judah, including many wives and sons and daughters [of the soldiers of Judah]. They also seized and took back to Samaria many valuable things.

9 Hianagi Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa ne' Odeti'a ana Israeli sondia vahetmima hateti'ma Sameria kumate'ma neaza vahetmina amanage huno ome zamasami'ne, Keho, Ra Anumzana tamagehe'i Anumzamo'a Juda vahekura tusi arimpa ahenezmanteno, zamavare tamazampina antegeta zamaheta hara huzmagateraze. Hianagi tamasunkura osu kefo'za huta zamahazageno ana zamo'a Anumzamofo avure vigeno keno antahino hu'ne.

But a prophet of Yahweh whose name was Obed was there [in Samaria]. He went out of the city to meet the army when it returned to Samaria. He said to them, “Because Yahweh, the God whom your ancestors [belonged to], was angry with [the people of] Judah, he allowed you to defeat them. But God has seen the cruel way that you slaughtered them.

10 Ana huteta menina Juda kumate'ma nemaniza vene'nene a'nanene Jerusalemi kumate vene'nene a'nanena kazokzo vahe zamazeri tro hunaku tamagesa nentahize. Hianagi tamagra'enena Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofo avurera kumi hu'naze.

And now you want to [sin by] causing men and women from Judah to become your slaves, but you have certainly also sinned against Yahweh our God!

11 Hagi menia ke'ni'a antahita kinama huzmanteta zamavaretama aza tamafu tamagnana ete huzmantenke'za viho. Na'ankure menina Ra Anumzamo'a e'inahu tamavutamavama haza zankura tusi arimpa aheramante'ne.

So listen to me! Send back [to Judah] your fellow-countrymen whom you have captured, because Yahweh is extremely angry with you [for what you did to them].”

12 Anankema nehigeno'a, Efraemi kva vahetmima, Jehonani nemofo Asaria'ma, Mesilemoti nemofo Berekaia'ma, Salumu nemofo Jehizkaia'ma, Hadlai nemofo Amasa'ma hu'za kasnampa ne'mofo kerera mago zamarimpa hute'za oti'za,

Then some of the leaders of [the tribe of] Ephraim—Azariah the son of Jehohanan, Berekiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai—rebuked those who were returning from the battle.

13 ana sondia vahetminkura amanage hu'naze, tamagra kinama huzmanteta zmavreta aza vahetmina zamavareta amarera omegahaze. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamofo avurera kumitimo'a ko marerino ra hu'neanki, mago'ene erinte agofetu huta kumira nehazageno, Israeli vahe'mota Ra Anumzamo'a tusi arimpa ahenerante.

They said to them, “You must not bring those prisoners here! If you do that, Yahweh will consider that we are guilty of sinning. We are already guilty of committing many sins; do you want to cause us to be even more guilty by committing another sin? God is already very angry with [us people of] Israel!”

14 Anage hazage'za ana sondia vahe'mo'za kinama huzmante'za zamavare'za aza vahetmina, ana kva vahetmimofo zamavugane, vahe'mokizmi zamavuga eme nezmatre'za, hapinti'ma eri'za aza zantaminena maka eme ante'naze.

So, while their leaders and others were watching, the soldiers released the prisoners, and also gave back to them the valuable things that they had captured.

15 Hagi sondia vahe'mo'za ha'pinti'ma eri'za e'naza kukenaramine, zamaga nonena ana kva vahetmimo'za e'za emeri'za zamavufaga zamavapama zamavare'za e'naza kina vahetmina zamizage'za kukena nehazageno, nezane tinena zamizage'za nenazage'za zamavufagama tga hunerera masavena frezmante'naze. Ana hute'za kama vuga'ma osaza vahetmina, donki agumpi zamavarenente'za amne vahe'enena zamavare'za zamafuhe'zama mani'narega tofenke kumapi Jeriko kumate ome zamatrete'za, ete Sameria kumate e'naze.

The leaders who were selected took some of the clothes that the soldiers had taken from the prisoners and gave those clothes back to the people who were naked. They also gave to the prisoners sandals and other clothes and things to eat and drink, and they gave them olive oil to rub on their wounds. They gave donkeys to those who were very weak, in order that they could ride on them. Then they led them all to Jericho, the city that had many palm trees. Then those leaders [of Israel] returned to Samaria.

16 Hagi ana knafina kini ne' Ahasi'a Asiria kini netega eme aza hinogu kea atre'ne.

About that time, King Ahaz sent [a message] to the king of Assyria requesting help.

17 Hagi Edomu vahe'mo'za ete mago'ane Juda vahera hara eme huzmante'za hara huzmagatere'za kina huzmante'za zamavare'za vu'naze.

[He did that because the army from] the Edom people-group had come again and attacked Judah and taken away many of the people of Judah as prisoners.

18 Hagi Filistia vahe'mo'za Juda agonaramimofo agafine, Negevi kazigama me'nea kumatmina arohu eme zamare'za, Bet-semesi kumapi vahetamine, Aijaloni kumapi vahetamine, Gederoti kumapi vahetamine, Soko kumapima nemaniza vahe'ene tavaonte'ma megagi'nea kumatmimpi vahetamine, Timna kuma'ma, tavaonte'ma megagi'nea kumatmimpi vahetamine, Gimzo kuma'ma, tavaonte'ma megagi'nea kumapi vahetamine maka ha eme huzmante'za zamahe'za hanare'za, ana kumatamimpi mani'naze.

At the same time, men from Philistia had raided/attacked towns in the foothills and in the southern desert of Judah. They had captured Beth-Shemesh, Aijalon, and Gederoth [cities], as well as Soco, Timnah and Gimzo [towns] and the nearby villages.

19 Kini ne' Ahasi'ma hia avu'avaku huno Ra Anumzamo'a Juda vahera zamazeri anterami'ne. Na'ankure agra hige'za Juda vahe'mo'za kefo kumi avu'avara nehu'za, Ra Anumzamofona zamagu'aretira huza amagera onte'za zamefi humi'naze.

Yahweh [allowed those things to happen in order to] humble king Ahaz, because he had encouraged the people of Judah to do wicked things and had disobeyed Yahweh very much.

20 E'ina hu'negu Asiria kini ne' Tiglat-Pilesa'a eme aza hugaragi hara eme hunte'ne.

Tiglath-Pileser, the king of Assyria, sent [his army saying that they would] help Ahaz, but instead of helping him, they caused him to experience trouble.

21 Ahasi'a agra nompinti'ene, eri'za vahe'aramimofo nompinti'ene, Ra Anumzamofo mono nompintira zago'amo'ma marerinea zantamina erino Asiria kini nera takisia eme ami'neanagi, ana zama hia zamo'a aza osu'ne.

Ahaz’s [soldiers] took some of the [valuable] things from the temple and from the king’s palace and from other leaders of Judah and sent them to the king of Assyria [to pay him to help them], but the king of Assyria refused to help Ahaz.

22 Hagi Ahasi'ma ana hazenke knafima mani'neno'a, Anumzamofona antahinomino mago'ane kefo avu'avara nehuno, Ra Anumzamofontera mani fatgo osu'ne.

While King Ahaz was experiencing those troubles, he disobeyed Yahweh even more.

23 Hagi Ahasi'a huno, Damaskasi kini vahetmima zamazama hige'za ha'ma hunagatere'naza havi anumzantaminte ofa kresramana vanuge'za nagrira naza hugahaze, nehuno ana havi anumzante ofa kresramana vu'ne. Hianagi agra zante hazenkea avreno egeno, mika Israeli vahe'mo'zanena hazenkefi ufre'naze.

He offered sacrifices to the gods that were worshiped in Damascus, whose [army] had defeated his [army]. He thought, “The gods that are worshiped by the kings of Syria have helped them, so I will offer sacrifices to those gods in order that they will help me.” But worshiping those gods caused Ahaz and all of Israel to be ruined.

24 Hagi Ahasi'a Anumzamofo mono nompinti kavo zuomparamina erino emeri atru huteno, takoraku hunetreno Ra Anumzamofo mono no kafana ahe ankaninereno, Jerusalemi kumapina maka kaziga havi anumzante'ma Kresramanama vu ita tro hu'ne.

Ahaz gathered all the furnishings [that were used] in the temple and broke them into pieces. He locked the doors of the temple and set up altars [for worshiping idols] at every street corner in Jerusalem.

25 Hagi Juda mopafima me'nea ranra kumatamimpina havi anumzantaminte'ma ofama hanaza kumatami'ma troma huntetere'ma hiazamo higeno, Ra Anumzana agehe'i Anumzamo'a tusi arimpa ahente'ne.

In every town in Judah, his workers built shrines to burn sacrifices to other gods, and that caused Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped], to be very angry.

26 Hagi Ahasi'ma kinima agafa huno mani'nereti'ma vuno ome vagare'nea knafima maka zama hu'nea zamofo agenkea, mika Juda kini vahe'ene, Israeli kini vahetmimofo zamagenkema krenentaza avontafepi krente'naze.

A record of the other things that Ahaz did while he was the king, from when he started to rule until he died, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah and Israel’.

27 Hagi Ahasi'a frige'za Jerusalemi rankumapi asente'naze. Na'ankure avufga'a eri'za kini vahe'tmimofo matipina ome ase onte'naze. Hagi anama hutegeno'a, nemofo Hezekai'a agri nona erino kinia mani'ne.

Ahaz died and was buried in Jerusalem, but he was not buried in the tombs where the other kings [had been buried]. Then his son Hezekiah became the king.
