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 didn’t do that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, like David his father,
2 fa nandeha tamin’ ny lalan’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izy sady nanao sarin-javatra an-idina ho an’ ireo Bala koa.
but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and also made molten images 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.
Moreover he burned incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burned his children in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out before 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 and burned 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.
Therefore Yahweh 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 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 the son of Remaliah killed in Judah one hundred twenty thousand in one day, all of them valiant men, because they had forsaken Yahweh, 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.
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 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 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 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, whose name was Oded; and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria, and said to them, “Behold, because Yahweh, 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 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 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 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 hear me therefore, and send back the captives that you have taken captive from your brothers, for the fierce wrath of Yahweh 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 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 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 said to them, “You must not bring in the captives here, for you intend that which will bring on us a trespass against Yahweh, to add to our sins and to our guilt; for our guilt 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 captives and the plunder before the princes 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 have been mentioned by name rose up and took the captives, and with the plunder clothed all who were naked among 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 famin’ izany andro izany Ahaza mpanjaka naniraka tany amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria nangataka ny any hanampy azy.
At that time King Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him.
17 Fa ny Edomita dia tonga indray ka namely ny Joda ary namabo azy.
For again the Edomites had come and struck Judah, and carried away captives.
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 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 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, because he acted without restraint in Judah and trespassed severely against Yahweh.
20 Ary Tiglato-pilesera, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, tonga tao aminy, nefa nampahory azy fa tsy nampahery azy.
Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came to him and gave him trouble, but didn’t strengthen 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 took away a portion out of Yahweh’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 Ary tamin’ ny andro nampahoriana azy dia mbola nanao izay nahadiso amin’ i Jehovah ihany io Ahaza mpanjaka io.
In the time of his distress, he trespassed yet more against Yahweh, this same King Ahaz.
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 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 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 vessels of God’s house, cut the vessels of God’s house in pieces, and shut up the doors of Yahweh’s house; and he made 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 incense to other gods, and provoked Yahweh, the God of his fathers, 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 acts, and all his ways, first and last, behold, 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 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.
