1 Ahaz el tokosrala ke el yac longoul, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac singoul onkosr. El tia fahsr tukun srikasrak wowo lal Tokosra David, papa matu tumal, a el oru ma su tia akinsewowoye LEUM GOD,
Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He didn’t do that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, like David his father,
2 ac fahsr tukun srikasrak koluk lun tokosra lun Israel. El sap in orekla ma sruloala kacl Baal ke osra,
but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and also made molten images for the Baals.
3 ac el akosak mwe keng Infahlfal Hinnom. El oayapa kisakin wen natul sifacna in mwe kisa nu sin ma sruloala ke el etai ouiya koluk lun mwet su LEUM GOD El lusla liki facl sac ke mwet Israel elos utyak nu we.
Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
4 Ahaz el orek kisa ac akosak mwe keng ke nien alu lun mwet pegan, ac fineol uh, ac ye sak lul nukewa.
He sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
5 Ke ma inge, LEUM GOD lal El lela tuh tokosra Syria in kutangulla Tokosra Ahaz, ac usla mwet puspis liki acn Judah nu Damascus in mwet sruoh. LEUM GOD El oayapa eisalang Ahaz nu inpoun tokosra Israel, su arulana onela mwet Judah.
Therefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria. They struck him, and carried away from him a great multitude of captives, and brought them to Damascus. He was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who struck him with a great slaughter.
6 Tokosra Pekah lun Israel, wen natul Remaliah, el uniya mwet siofok longoul tausin sin mwet Judah ke len sifanna, mweyen elos ngeta liki LEUM GOD lun papa tumalos, a mwet inge mwet na pulaik ke mweun.
For Pekah the son of Remaliah killed in Judah one hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all of them valiant men, because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers.
7 Sie mwet mweun lun Israel, su inel pa Zichri, el unilya Maaseiah wen natul Tokosra Ahaz. El oayapa unilya Azrikam, mwet kol su liyaung inkul sin tokosra, ac Elkanah, su akluo in leum yal tokosra.
Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king’s son, Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah who was next to the king.
8 Mwet Judah finne ma wialos, a mwet Israel elos sruokya luofoko tausin mutan ac tulik lun mwet Judah, ac usalosla nu Samaria, wi pac ma wap puspis.
The children of Israel carried away captive of their brothers two hundred thousand women, sons, and daughters, and also took away much plunder from them, and brought the plunder to Samaria.
9 Sie mwet palu lun LEUM GOD su pangpang Oded el muta in siti Samaria. El osun nu sin mwet mweun Israel ke elos foloko ac us mwet sruoh lalos ac akola in utyak nu in siti uh. Na el fahk, “LEUM GOD lun papa tomowos El kasrkusrak sin mwet Judah, pwanang El lela kowos in kutangulosla. Tusruktu inge El lohng ke luman anwuk sulallal ma kowos oru nu selos.
But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded; and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria, and said to them, “Behold, because the LORD, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah, he has delivered them into your hand, and you have slain them in a rage which has reached up to heaven.
10 Ac inge kowos akoo in oru tuh mukul ac mutan lun Jerusalem ac Judah inge in mwet kohs lowos. Ku kowos tiana etu lah kowos oru pac ma koluk lain LEUM GOD lowos?
Now you intend to degrade the children of Judah and Jerusalem as male and female slaves for yourselves. Aren’t there even with you trespasses of your own against the LORD your God?
11 Porongo ma nga fahk uh! Mwet sruoh inge ma na wiowos. Lela elos in folokla. Kowos fin tia fuhlelosla, na LEUM GOD El ac kai kowos ke kasrkusrak lal.”
Now hear me therefore, and send back the captives that you have taken captive from your brothers, for the fierce wrath of the LORD is on you.”
12 Mwet akosr sin mwet kol lun Tokosrai Epang elos wi pac tia insese nu ke ma mwet mweun elos oru inge. Inelos pa Azariah wen natul Jehohanan, Berechiah wen natul Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah wen natul Shallum, ac Amasa wen natul Hadlai.
Then some of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against those who came from the war,
13 Elos fahk, “Nimet use mwet sruoh ingan nu inge. Ma koluk ma kut orala fal tari LEUM GOD Elan kasrkusrak sesr kac. Ac inge kowos lungse oru kutu ma su ac akyokyela koluk lasr?”
and said to them, “You must not bring in the captives here, for you intend that which will bring on us a trespass against the LORD, to add to our sins and to our guilt; for our guilt is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.”
14 Ke ma inge, mwet mweun uh sang mwet sruoh ac ma wap uh nu sin mwet uh ac mwet kol lalos.
So the armed men left the captives and the plunder before the princes and all the assembly.
15 Itukyang kunen mwet akosr inge in kitalik nuknuk ke ma wap nu sin mwet sruoh. Elos sang nuknuk ac fahluk nu selos, ac lupa fal ke mwe mongo ac mwe nim, ac elos sang mwe akmusra in unwela kinet kaclos. Mwet ma munas ac kofla fahsr, elos srakalosyang nu fin donkey, na mwet sruoh inge nukewa folokinyukla nu in acn Judah, ke siti Jericho su siti in sak palm. Na mwet Israel elos folokla nu yen selos in Samaria.
The men who have been mentioned by name rose up and took the captives, and with the plunder clothed all who were naked amongst them, dressed them, gave them sandals, gave them something to eat and to drink, anointed them, carried all the feeble of them on donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brothers. Then they returned to Samaria.
16 In pacl se inge, Tokosra Ahaz el supwala kas nu sel Tiglath Pileser, Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria, ac siyuk kasru sel,
At that time King Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him.
17 mweyen mwet Edom elos sifil tuku mweuni mwet Judah, ac kutangulosla ac uslalosla nu in sruoh.
For again the Edomites had come and struck Judah, and carried away captives.
18 In pacl sacn pacna, mwet Philistia elos utyak pac lain siti srisrik pe eol layen nu roto oayapa layen eir lun Judah. Elos sruokya siti Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, ac Gederoth, oayapa siti Soco, Timnah, ac Gimzo, wi ikul ma raunelosla, na elos oakwuki ac muta we.
The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland and of the South of Judah, and had taken Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and also Gimzo and its villages; and they lived there.
19 Ke sripen Ahaz, tokosra lun Israel el akyokye ma koluk in acn Judah ac lain LEUM GOD, ouinge LEUM GOD El sang ma upa nu fin acn Judah.
For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel, because he acted without restraint in Judah and trespassed severely against the LORD.
20 Tiglath Pileser, Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria, el tia kasrel Ahaz, a el lainul ac oru ma upa nu sel.
Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came to him and gave him trouble, but didn’t strengthen him.
21 Na Ahaz el eisla gold liki Tempul ac liki lohm sin tokosra, oayapa liki lohm sin mwet kol lun mwet uh, ac sang nu sel Tokosra Fulat. El ne oru ouinge, a tiana kasreyuk el.
For Ahaz took away a portion out of the LORD’s house, and out of the house of the king and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria; but it didn’t help him.
22 Ke mwe lokoalok upala nu sel Ahaz, el orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD yohk liki na meet.
In the time of his distress, he trespassed yet more against the LORD, this same King Ahaz.
23 El orek kisa nu sin god lun mwet Syria, su tuh kutangulla. El fahk, “God ingan lun mwet Syria elos kasru tokosra lun Syria, na nga fin orek kisa nu selos, elos ac ku in kasreyu pac.” Tusruktu ma el oru inge use mwe ongoiya nu sel ac nu sin mutunfacl sel.
For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus which had defeated him. He said, “Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me.” But they were the ruin of him and of all Israel.
24 Sayen ma inge, el usla pac kufwen mwe orekma nukewa lun Tempul, ac kunausya in ip srisrik. El kaliya Tempul, ac tulokunak loang in acn nukewa in Jerusalem.
Ahaz gathered together the vessels of God’s house, cut the vessels of God’s house in pieces, and shut up the doors of the LORD’s house; and he made himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
25 In siti nukewa in acn Judah, el musaela nien alu lun mwet pegan, yen mwe keng uh ac isisyak we nu sin god ngia. Sripe inge oru el sifacna pwanma kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD lun papa tumal nu facl.
In every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked the LORD, the God of his fathers, to anger.
26 Ma nukewa su el orala ke el tokosra, mutawauk nwe ke safla, simla in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Israel Ac Judah].
Now the rest of his acts, and all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
27 Tokosra Ahaz el misa ac pukpuki in Jerusalem, tusruktu tia inkulyuk lun mwet leum. Hezekiah wen natul, el aolul in tokosra.
Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem, because they didn’t bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
