2 Kva 16
1 Hanki Remalia nemofo Peka'ma 17ni'a kafuma Israeli vahe kinima nemani'geno'a, Jotamu nemofo Ahasi'a Juda vahe kinia agafa huno mani'ne.
When Pekah had been ruling Israel for almost 17 years, Ahaz, the son of Jotham, became the king of Judah.
2 Ahasi'a 20'a kafu nehuno kinia fore huteno, Jerusalemi rankumapi mani'neno Juda vahera 16ni'a kafufi kegava hu'ne. Hagi Ra Anumzana agri Anumzamofo avufina havi avu'avaza nehuno, negeho Deviti'ma hu'nea avu'ava zana osu'ne.
He was 20 years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. He did not do things that pleased Yahweh his God, good things like his ancestor King David had done.
3 Agra Israeli kinimoza'ma hu'naza havi avu'avaza zamavaririno nehuno, ko'ma ana mopafima mani'naza vahe'ma, Israeli negazageno Ra Anumzamo'ma zamahe natitre'nea vahe'mokizmi kasrino havizantfa hu'nea zamavu'zmavaza nehuno, ne'mofonena aheno tevefi kresramna vu'ne.
Instead, he was as sinful as the kings of Israel had been. He even sacrificed his son as an offering to idols. That was worse than the disgusting things that the people who previously lived there had done, people whom Yahweh had expelled as the Israelis were advancing through the land.
4 Ana nehuno agra mono'ma nehaza kumatmimpine, agonaregane ranra zafaramimofo agafine vuno, Kresramana vu ofa nehuno mnanentake paurana tevefi kre mna vu'ne.
Ahaz offered sacrifices and burned incense [to honor Yahweh] on the tops of many hills and under many [HYP] big trees, [instead of in Jerusalem as Yahweh had commanded].
5 Hagi Ahasi'ma Juda kinima mani'negekea, Siria kini ne' Rezini'ene Israeli kini ne' Remalia nemofo Peka'enena Ahasina ha' eme hunenteke Jerusalemi kumara eme avazagi kagi'na'anagi azeri agateore'na'e.
While he was the king of Judah, King Rezin of Assyria and King Pekah of Israel [came with their armies] and attacked Jerusalem. They surrounded the city, but they could not conquer it.
6 Hagi ana knafina Siria kini ne' Resini'a Juda vahera Elati rankumapintira hahuzamagatereno ete ana kumara agrarega erinenteno, zamavare atrege'za vu'naze. Anama hige'za Idomu vahe'mo'za ana kumapina ufre'za umani'ne'za meni'nena mani'naze.
At that time the [army of the] king of Edom expelled the people of Judah who were living in Elath [city]. Some of the people of Edom started to live there, and they are still living there.
7 Hagi Ahasi'a amanage huno Asiria kini ne' Tiglat-Pilesantega nanekea atrente'ne. Nagra kagri eri'za vahe mani'nena kagri kagorga manigahuanki, Siria kini ne'ene, Israeli kinimoke'ma eke ha'ma hunenanta'ana eme hara hunka naza huo.
King Ahaz sent messengers to King Tiglath-Pileser of Assyria, to tell this message to him: “I promise that I will completely do what you tell me to do, [as though] I [was] your son. Please come and rescue us from the armies of Syria and Israel who are attacking my country.”
8 Ahasi'ma anagema huteno'a, Ra Anumzamofo ra mono nompine, kinimofo nompima zagoma nentafima me'nea silvane goliraminena erino, Asiria kinirega museza atrente'ne.
Ahaz took the silver and gold that was in the palace and in the temple and sent it to Assyria to be a present/gift for the king of Assyria.
9 Anama higeno'a Asiria kini ne' Tiglat-Pilesa'a Ahasi'ma hiankea antahinemino, sondia vahe'a zamavarege'za e'za Aramu vahe rankuma Damaskasi ha' eme hu'za ana kumara eri zamagrarega atre'naze. Anama huteno anante Asiria kini ne' Tiglat-Pilesa'a Siria kini ne' Resinina ahe nefrino, ana maka Damaskasima nemaniza vahera zamavareno Kiri rankumate ome kina huzmante'ne.
So Tiglath-Pileser did what Ahaz requested. His army marched to Damascus and captured it, and they took the people of Damascus as prisoners to live in the capital city of Assyria, and executed [King] Rezin.
10 Anama hutegeno henka kini ne' Ahasi'a Damaskasi vuno Asiria kini ne' Tiglat-Pilesa ome kenaku vu'ne. Hagi Ahasi'ma Damaskasima mani'neno'a kresramna vu ita mago me'nea keteno, ana itamofo amema'a krenenteno, inankna huno anahukna itama tro'ma hania zamofo naneke'a ana maka krenteteno, atregeno pristi ne' Uria'ma Jerusalema mani'nerega vu'ne.
When King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet King Tiglath-Pileser, he saw the altar that was there. So he sent to Uriah, the Supreme Priest [in Jerusalem], a drawing of the altar and a model that was exactly like the altar in Damascus.
11 E'ina higeno pristi ne' Uria'a avompima kretregeno e'nea kante anteno Damaskasima me'nea kresramnavu itagna ita tro hu'ne. Hagi Ahasi'a Damaskasia atreno Jerusalemia viana ana ita pristi ne' Uria'a ko tro huvagarente'nego ome ke'ne.
So Uriah built an altar [in Jerusalem], following the drawing that King Ahaz had sent. Uriah finished the altar before Ahaz returned [to Jerusalem] from Damascus.
12 Hagi kini ne' Ahasi'a Damaskasiti eno, ana ita eme negeno erava'o huno, ana itare ofa hunaku mareri'ne.
When the king returned from Damascus, he saw the altar. He went to it
13 Hagi Ahasi'a ana itarera tevefi kre fanane hu ofane, witi ofane, tima tagi tre ofanena nehuno, kora rutritri huno rimpa fru ofa kresramana vu itamofo agofetu hu'ne.
and burned animal sacrifices and a grain offering on it. He also poured a wine offering on it and threw on it the blood of the offerings to maintain fellowship with God.
14 Ahasi'ma ofama huteno'a, ko'ma bronsiretima tro'ma hu'naza kresramna vu ita, Ra Anumzamofo mono none, kasefa'ma tro'ma hu'nea itamofo amu'nozanifima me'neana erino kasefa'ma tro'ma hu'nea itamofo noti kaziga erinte'ne.
The old bronze altar which had been dedicated long ago to Yahweh was between the new altar and the temple, so Ahaz moved it to the north side of his new altar, [which was bigger than the old altar].
15 Hagi kini ne' Ahasi'a amanage huno pristi ne' Uriana asmi'ne, kasefa'ma trohu kresramna vu itarera, nanterana tevefi kre fanane hu ofa nehunka, kinaga witi ofa nehunka, kinimofo kre fanane hu ofa nehunka, witi ofa'anena nehunka, maka vahe'mokizmi tevefi kre fanane hu ofazamine witi ofazamine tima tagitre ofazaminena nehunka, ana maka tevefima kre fananehu ofama hanaza ofamofone ruga'a ofama hanaza ofamofo korana erinka itamofo agofetu runi'ni huo. Hianagi bronsireti'ma trohu ita, nagri su'za me'nenige'na ana itare nagra ofa nehu'na, nanknazama nagripima hania zamofona Ra Anumzamofona antahigegahue.
Then King Ahaz ordered Uriah: “Each morning put on this new altar the sacrifices that will be completely burned, and in the evening put on it the grain offering, along with my offering and the offerings that the people bring, ones that will be completely burned, and my grain offering and the people’s grain and wine offerings. Pour against the sides of the altar the blood of all the animals that are sacrificed. But the old bronze altar will be only for me to use to find out what Yahweh wants me to do.”
16 Hagi kini ne' Ahasi'ma asamia nanekea pristi ne' Uria'a amage anteno ana maka'zana tro hu'ne.
So Uriah did what the king commanded him to do.
17 Hagi kini ne' Ahasi'a Ra Anumzamofo mono nompintira bronsireti'ma tro huntene'za erigantugmama nehaza tra'mofo asoparegati timafinte kavoa ome enerino, ana itare'ma me'nea osi zuomparamina eri'ne. Ana nehuno timafinte rankavoma, bronsireti'ma trohu bulimakaomo'ma vazisgama hunte'neana ana bulimakaona eritreno havereti tra'a trohuno ana timafinte rankavoa ana agofetu retrure'ne.
King Ahaz told his workers to take off the frames of the carts [that were outside the temple] and to take down the basins that were on them. They also took down the bronze tank from the backs of the bronze [statues of the] oxen and put it on a stone foundation.
18 Ana nehuno Ahasi'a Sabati zupama retaneraza seli nona ra mono no tvaontetira erinetreno, kinimofo nonteti'ma ra mono nomofo kumapima nevaza kahana renkanire'ne. E'ina maka'zama hu'neana, Asiria kini ne' Tiglat-Pilesa antahintahi avaririno anara hu'ne.
Then to please the king of Assyria, Ahaz had them remove from the temple the roof under which the people walked into the temple on the Sabbath Day, and closed up the private entrance into the temple for the kings of Judah.
19 Hagi Ahasi'ma kinima mani'nea knafima fore hu'nea zamtamine, ana maka zama tro'ma hu'nea zantamimofo agenkea, Juda vahe kinimofo agigenkema krenentaza avontafepi krente'naze.
[If you want to know about] the other things that Ahaz did, they are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
20 Hanki Ahasi'ma frige'za afahe'ima asenezmantazafi, Deviti rankumapi asente'naze. Anama hutazageno nemofo Hezekaia nefa nona erino kinia mani'ne.
Ahaz died [EUP], and he was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried. Then his son Hezekiah became the king.
