2 Tantara 28
1 Roa-polo taona Ahaza, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary enina ambin’ ny folo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema; ary tsy mba nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah tahaka an’ i Davida rainy izy,
Achaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: he did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord as David his father had done,
2 fa nandeha tamin’ ny lalan’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izy sady nanao sarin-javatra an-idina ho an’ ireo Bala koa.
But walked in the ways of the kings of Israel; moreover also he cast statues for Baalim.
3 Ary nandoro ditin-kazo manitra tao amin’ ny lohasahan’ ny taranak’ i Hinoma koa izy, ary ny zanany dia nodorany tamin’ ny afo, araka ny fahavetavetan’ ny jentilisa izay noroahin’ i Jehovah tsy ho eo anoloan’ ny Zanak’ isiraely.
It was he that burnt incense in the valley of Benennom, and consecrated his sons in the fire according to the manner of the nations, which the Lord slew at the coming of the children of Israel.
4 Ary namono zavatra hatao fanatitra izy sady nandoro ditin-kazo manitra teny amin’ ny fitoerana avo koa sy teny an-tampon’ ny havoana ary teny ambanin’ ny hazo maitso rehetra.
He sacrificed also, and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
5 Koa dia natolotr’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny ho eo an-tànan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Syria izy; dia namely azy ireo, ka betsaka no lasany ho babo ka nentiny tany Damaskosy. Ary natolony ho eo an-tànan’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely koa izy, dia namely mafy ka naharesy azy koa ireo.
And the Lord his God delivered him into the hands of the king of Syria, who defeated him, and took a great booty out of his kingdom, and carried it to Damascus: he was also delivered into the hands of the king of Israel, who overthrew him with a great slaughter.
6 Fa Peka, zanak’ i Remalia, nahafaty olona roa alina sy iray hetsy indray andro tamin’ ny Joda, dia lehilahy mahery avokoa, noho ny nahafoizan’ ireny an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany.
For Phacee the son of Romelia slew of Juda a hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all valiant men: because they had forsaken the Lord the God of their fathers.
7 Ary Zikry, lehilahy mahery tamin’ ny Efraima, namono an’ i Mahaseia, zanaky ny mpanjaka, sy Azrikama, mpanapaka ny trano, ary Elkana, izay nanarakaraka ny mpanjaka.
At the same time Zechri a powerful man of Ephraim, slew Maasias the king’s son, and Ezricam the governor of his house, and Elcana who was next to the king.
8 Ary ny Zanak’ isiraely nahazo sambo-belona roa hetsy tamin’ ireo havany, dia vehivavy sy zazalahy sy zazavavy, ary nahazo babo betsaka taminy koa izy, dia nentiny tany Samaria ireny.
And the children of Israel carried away of their brethren two hundred thousand women, boys, and girls, and an immense booty: and they brought it to Samaria.
9 Ary nisy mpaminanin’ i Jehovah tao, Odeda no anarany, izay nivoaka hitsena ny miaramila, raha nankany Samaria, izy ka nanao taminy hoe: He! ny nahatezeran’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razanareo, tamin’ ny Joda no nanolorany azy ho eo an-tananareo, dia novonoinareo ireny tamin’ ny fahatezerana manakatra ny lanitra.
At that time there was a prophet of the Lord there, whose name was Oded: and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria, and said to them: Behold the Lord the God of your fathers being angry with Juda, hath delivered them into your hands, and you have butchered them cruelly, so that your cruelty hath reached up to heaven.
10 Ary ankehitriny ny taranak’ i Joda sy Jerosalema dia kasainareo handevozina ho andevolahinareo sy ho andevovanivareo; ka moa ianareo ireo va tsy mba manan-keloka amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo koa?
Moreover you have a mind to keep under the children of Juda and Jerusalem for your bondmen and bondwomen, which ought not to be done: for you have sinned in this against the Lord your God.
11 Ary ankehitriny mihainoa ahy, koa alefaso ny babo izay efa nentinareo avy tamin’ ny rahalahinareo; fa mirehitra aminareo ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah.
But hear ye my counsel, and release the captives that you have brought of your brethren, because a great indignation of the Lord hangeth over you.
12 Dia nitsangana ny loholona sasany avy amin’ ny taranak’ i Efraima, dia Azaria, zanak’ i Johanana, sy Berekia, zanak’ i Mesilemota, sy Jehizkia, zanak’ i Saloma, ary Amasa, zanak’ i Hadlay, ka nanohitra izay vao avy tany an-tafika
Then some of the chief men of the sons of Ephraim, Azarias the son of Johanan, Barachias the son of Mosollamoth, Ezechias the son of Sellum, and Amasa the son of Adali, stood up against them that came from the war.
13 nanao taminy hoe: Tsy mahazo mampiditra ny babo eto ianareo; fa mikasa hanampy ny fahotantsika sy ny fahadisoantsika ianareo mba hahameloka antsika amin’ i Jehovah; fa efa be ny fahadisoantsika, ka iharan’ ny fahatezerana mirehitra ny Isiraely.
And they said to them: You shall not bring in the captives hither, lest we sin against the Lord. Why will you add to our sins, and heap up upon our former offences? for the sin is great, and the fierce anger of the Lord hangeth over Israel.
14 Dia nalefan’ ny miaramila teo anatrehan’ ny mpanapaka sy ny fiangonana rehetra izay sambo-belona sy babo azony,
So the soldiers left the spoils, and all that they had taken, before the princes and all the multitude.
15 ka ireo olona voalaza anarana ireo dia nitsangana ka naka ny sambo-belona, ary izay rehetra tsy nitafy no nampiakanjoiny tamin’ ny zavatra nentiny; eny, nampiakanjoiny sy nokiraroiny izy ary nampihinaniny sy nampisotroiny ary nohosorany, sady nampitaingeniny boriky izay rehetra osaosa, ka nentiny tany Jeriko, tanàna be rofia, ho any amin’ ny rahalahiny; dia niverina tany Samaria izy.
And the men, whom we mentioned above, rose up and took the captives, and with the spoils clothed all them that were naked: and when they had clothed and shed them, and refreshed them with meat and drink, and anointed them because of their labour, and had taken care of them, they set such of them as could not walk, and were feeble, upon beasts, and brought them to Jericho the city of palm trees to their brethren, and they returned to Samaria.
16 famin’ izany andro izany Ahaza mpanjaka naniraka tany amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria nangataka ny any hanampy azy.
At that time king Achaz sent to the king of the Assyrians asking help.
17 Fa ny Edomita dia tonga indray ka namely ny Joda ary namabo azy.
And the Edomites came and slew many of Juda, and took a great booty.
18 Ary ny Filistina koa nanafika ny tanàna eny amin’ ny tany lemaka amoron-tsiraka sy eny amin’ ny tany atsimo momba an’ i Joda, dia nahafaka an’ i Beti-semesy sy Aialona sy Gederota sy Soko mbamin’ ny zana-bohiny ary Timna sy ny zana-bohiny ary Gimzo koa sy ny zana-bohiny; ary nonina tao izy.
The Philistines also spread themselves among the cities of the plains, and to the south of Juda: and they took Bethsames, and Aialon, and Gaderoth, and Socho, and Thamnan, and Gamzo, with their villages, and they dwelt in them.
19 Fa Jehovah nampietry ny Joda noho Ahaza, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, satria Ahaza efa nanaram-po nanao ratsy teo amin’ ny Joda ka nivadika tamin’ i Jehovah.
For the Lord had humbled Juda because of Achaz the king of Juda, for he had stripped it of help, and had contemned the Lord.
20 Ary Tiglato-pilesera, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, tonga tao aminy, nefa nampahory azy fa tsy nampahery azy.
And he brought, against him Thelgathphalnasar king of the Assyrians, who also afflicted him, and plundered him without any resistance.
21 Fa efa nalain’ i Ahaza ny zavatra tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah sy tao an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka sy ny an’ ny mpanapaka, ary efa nomeny ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria, nefa tsy nahasoa azy akory izany.
And Achaz stripped the house of the Lord, and the house of the kings, and of the princes, and gave gifts to the king of the Assyrians, and yet it availed him nothing.
22 Ary tamin’ ny andro nampahoriana azy dia mbola nanao izay nahadiso amin’ i Jehovah ihany io Ahaza mpanjaka io.
Moreover also in the time of his distress he increased contempt against the Lord: king Achaz himself by himself,
23 Ary namono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an’ ireo andriamanitr’ i Damaskosy, izay namely azy, izy ka nanao hoe: Ireo andriamanitry ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria, izay nanampy azy, no hamonoako zavatra hatao fanatitra mba hanampiany ahy. Kanjo tonga fandravana azy sy ny Isiraely rehetra ireo.
Sacrificed victims to the gods of Damascus that struck him, and he said: The gods of the kings of Syria help them, and I will appease them with victims, and they will help me; whereas on the contrary they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.
24 Ary Ahaza nanangona ny fanaky ny tranon’ Andriamanitra ka namakivaky azy ary nandrindrina ny varavaran’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah sady nanao alitara teny amin’ ny zoron-dalana rehetra tany Jerosalema.
Then Achaz having taken away all the vessels of the house of God, and broken them, shut up the doors of the temple of God, and made himself altars in all the corners of Jerusalem.
25 Ary teny amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Joda rehetra dia nanaovany fitoerana avo handoroana ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ ny andriamani-kafa, ka dia nahatezitra an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, izy.
And in all the cities of Juda he built altars to burn frankincense, and he provoked the Lord the God of his fathers to wrath.
26 Ary ny tantarany sisa sy ny fanaony rehetra, na ny voalohany na ny farany, indreo, efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda sy ny Isiraely izany.
But the rest of his acts, and all his works first and last are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
27 Ary Ahaza lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao an-tanàna Jerosalema izy, fa tsy mba natao tao amin’ ny fasan’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely. Ary Hezekia zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
And Achaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of Jerusalem: for they received him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel. And Ezechias his son reigned in his stead.
