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,
Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, as David his ancestor had done.
2 fa nandeha tamin’ ny lalan’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izy sady nanao sarin-javatra an-idina ho an’ ireo Bala koa.
Instead, he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel; he also made cast metal figures for the Baals.
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.
In addition, he burned incense in the Valley of Ben Hinnom and he caused his children to pass through the fire, according to the idolatrous practices of the people that Yahweh forced out of their land before the people 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 and burned incense at 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.
Therefore Yahweh the God of Ahaz gave him into the hand of the king of Aram. The Arameans defeated him and carried away from him a great crowd of prisoners, bringing them to Damascus. Ahaz was also given into the hand of the king of Israel who defeated him in 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 Pekah son of Remaliah in one day killed 120,000 soldiers in Judah and all of them were powerful men, because they had forsaken Yahweh the God of their ancestors.
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.
Zicri, a powerful man from Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king's son, Azrikam, the official over the palace, and Elkanah, 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.
The army of Israel took captive from their relatives 200,000 wives, sons, and daughters. They also took much plunder, which they carried back 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.
But a prophet of Yahweh was there, his name was Oded. He went out to meet the army coming into Samaria. He said to them, “Because Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, was angry with Judah, he gave them into your hand. But you have slaughtered them in a rage that 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?
Now you intend to keep the men and women of Judah and Jerusalem as your slaves. But are you not guilty of sins of your own against Yahweh 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.
Now then, listen to me: Send the prisoners back, those whom you have taken of your own brothers, for Yahweh's fierce wrath is on 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 certain leaders of the people of Ephraim—Azariah son of Jehohanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai, stood up against those who came back 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.
They said to them, “You must not bring the prisoners here, for you intend something that will bring on us sin against Yahweh, to add to our sins and trespasses, for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.”
14 Dia nalefan’ ny miaramila teo anatrehan’ ny mpanapaka sy ny fiangonana rehetra izay sambo-belona sy babo azony,
So the armed men left the prisoners and the plunder before the leaders and all the assembly.
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.
The men who were assigned by name got up and took the prisoners, and clothed all who were naked among them with the plunder. They clothed them and gave them sandals. They gave them food to eat and drink. They treated their wounds and put the weak ones on donkeys. They took them back to their families in Jericho, (called the City of Palms). Then 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 Ahaz sent messengers to the kings of Assyria to ask them to help him.
17 Fa ny Edomita dia tonga indray ka namely ny Joda ary namabo azy.
For once again the Edomites had come and attacked Judah, carrying prisoners away.
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 invaded the cities of the lowlands and of the Negev of Judah. They took Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soko with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and also Gimzo with its villages. They went to live in those places.
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 Yahweh brought Judah low because of Ahaz, king of Israel; for he had acted wickedly in Judah and had sinned against Yahweh very heavily.
20 Ary Tiglato-pilesera, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, tonga tao aminy, nefa nampahory azy fa tsy nampahery azy.
Tiglath-Pileser, king of Assyria, came to him and troubled him instead of strengthening him.
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.
For Ahaz plundered the house of Yahweh and the houses of the king and the leaders, to give the valuable things to the kings of Assyria. But doing this did not benefit him.
22 Ary tamin’ ny andro nampahoriana azy dia mbola nanao izay nahadiso amin’ i Jehovah ihany io Ahaza mpanjaka io.
This same King Ahaz sinned even more against Yahweh in his time of suffering.
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.
For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, gods that had defeated him. He said, “Because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, I will sacrifice to them, so that they might help me.” But 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.
Ahaz gathered together the furnishings of the house of God and cut them to pieces. He shut the doors of the house of Yahweh and he made for himself altars in every corner 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.
In every city of Judah he made high places to burn sacrifices to other gods. He provoked Yahweh, the God of his ancestors, to anger.
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.
Now the rest of his deeds, and all his ways, first and last, see, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah 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.
Ahaz slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem, but they did not bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel. Hezekiah, his son, became king in his place.
