2 Tantara 28
1 Roapolo taoñe t’i Ahkaze te niorotse nifehe; le nifehe folo taoñe eneñ’ amby e Ierosalaime ao; fe tsy nanao ty fahiti’e am-pihaino’ Iehovà manahake ty rae’e Davide;
Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. And unlike David his father, he did not do what was right in the eyes of the LORD.
2 te mone nitsontik’ an-dala’ o mpanjaka’ Israeleo vaho nandranjy sare trinanake ho amo Baaleo,
Instead, he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and even made cast images of the Baals.
3 mbore nañembok’ am-bavatanen’ ana’ i Hinome ao naho noroa’e añ’afo ao o ana’eo, ty amy haloloa’ o kilakila’ ondaty rinoa’ Iehovà añatrefa’ o ana’ Israeleoo.
Moreover, Ahaz burned incense in the Valley of Hinnom and sacrificed his sons in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
4 Le nanoe’e soroñe vaho nañenga amo tambohoo naho ankaboañe eo naho ambane’ ze hatae mandrevake iaby.
And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.
5 Toly ndra natolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’e am-pitàm-panjaka’ i Aramey; le linafa’ iareo, le nasese an-drohy ty ondati’e tsifotofoto, nente’ iereo mb’e Damesèke mb’eo. Natolotse am-pitàm-panjaka’ Israele ka re, ze nandafa aze am-pizamanam-bey.
So the LORD his God delivered Ahaz into the hand of the king of Aram, who attacked him and took many captives to Damascus. Ahaz was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who struck him with great force.
6 I Pekà ana’ i Remalià ty nanjamañe rai-hetse-tsi-ro’ale ami’ty andro raike, songa ondaty mahasibeke; amy t’ie namorintseñe Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ iareo.
For in one day Pekah son of Remaliah killed 120,000 valiant men in Judah. This happened because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers.
7 Le i Zikrý, fanalolahi’ i Efraimey ty nanjevoñe i Maaseià ana’ i mpanjakay naho i Azrikame, mpifehe’ i anjombay naho i Elkanà mpiamy mpanjakay.
Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the son of the king, Azrikam the governor of the palace, and Elkanah the second to the king.
8 Le nasese’ o ana’ Israeleo mb’eo an-drohy ty roe-hetse amo rahalahi’eo: rakemba naho ana-dahy naho anak’ ampela vaho nitavañe vara tsifotofoto am’ iereo, le nente’ iereo mb’e Somerone añe i kinopakey.
Then the Israelites took 200,000 captives from their kinsmen—women, sons, and daughters. They also carried off a great deal of plunder and brought it to Samaria.
9 Fe teo ty mpitoki’ Iehovà, i Ovede ty tahina’e, niavotse naho nifanalaka amy valobohòke nimb’e Somerone mb’eoy, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Inao, niviñera’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ areo t’Iehoda, le nitolora’e am-pità’ areo, fe zinama’ areo an-kabosehañe nahatakatse an-dindiñe añe.
But a prophet of the LORD named Oded was there, and he went out to meet the army that returned to Samaria. “Look,” he said to them, “because of His wrath against Judah, the LORD, the God of your fathers, has delivered them into your hand. But you have slaughtered them in a rage that reaches up to heaven.
10 Ie amy zao mipay hinday o ana’ Iehodao naho Ierosalaime ambane’ areo ho ondevo lahy naho ondevo ampela; fe tsy ama’ areo ao hao ty aman-kakeo amy Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo?
And now you intend to reduce to slavery the men and women of Judah and Jerusalem. But are you not also guilty before the LORD your God?
11 Aa le janjiño iraho, ampolio o mpirohy narohi’ areo amo longo’ areoo; fa miforoforo ama’ areo ty haviñera’ Iehovà.
Now therefore, listen to me and return the captives you took from your kinsmen, for the fierce anger of the LORD is upon you.”
12 Niongake hiatreatre o niavy boak’ amy aliio amy zao ty mpiaolo’ i Efraime ila’e, i Azarià ana’ Iehonàne naho i Berekià ana’ i Mesilemote naho Iekizkià ana’ i Salome naho i Amasa ana’ i Hadlay,
Then some of the leaders of the Ephraimites —Azariah son of Jehohanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai—stood in opposition to those arriving from the war.
13 vaho nanao ty hoe am’ iereo, Ko endese’ areo mb’etoa o narohio; ie mipay hanaña’ Iehovà tahiñe tika, hanovoñe o hakeo naho tahin-tikañeo; fa ra’elahy o hakeon-tikañeo vaho haviñerañe miforoforo ty am’ Israele.
“You must not bring the captives here,” they said, “for you are proposing to bring guilt upon us from the LORD and to add to our sins and our guilt. For our guilt is great, and fierce anger is upon Israel.”
14 Aa le napo’ o lahindefoñeo añatrefa’ o roandriañeo naho i fivoribey iabiy o an-drohio naho i kinopakey.
So the armed men left the captives and the plunder before the leaders and all the assembly.
15 Le niongake i niantoñoñe an-tahinañe rey nandrambe o an-drohio naho nangalak’ amo kinopakeo hampisikina’ iareo o tsi-antsaroñe am’ iereoo naho nampisaroñe’ iareo naho nañombean-kana naho nanjotsoañe mahakama naho rano naho hinoso’ iareo menake naho najo’ iareo am-borìke o maleme am’ iereoo naho nendese’ iareo mb’e Ieriko, i rovan-tsatrañey, mb’ aman-drolongo’ iareo añe vaho nimpoly mb’e Somerone mb’eo.
Then the men who were designated by name arose, took charge of the captives, and provided from the plunder clothing for the naked. They clothed them, gave them sandals and food and drink, anointed their wounds, and put all the feeble on donkeys. So they brought them to Jericho, the City of Palms, to their brothers. Then they returned to Samaria.
16 Nampañitrik’ amo mpanjaka’ i Asoreo amy zao t’i Ahkaze mpanjaka nipay imba,
At that time King Ahaz sent for help from the king of Assyria.
17 amy te pok’ eo indraike o nte-Edomeo nandafa Iehoda vaho ninday mpirohy añe.
The Edomites had again come and attacked Judah and carried away captives.
18 Naname o rova an-tane petrakeo naho o atimo’ Iehodao o nte-Pelistio, le rinambe’ iareo ty Betesamese naho i Aiialone naho i Gederote naho i Soko rekets’ o tanà’eo naho i Timnà rekets’ o tanà’eo naho i Gimzo rekets’ o tanà’eo vaho nimoneñe ao.
The Philistines had also raided the cities of the foothills and the Negev of Judah, capturing and occupying Beth-shemesh, Aijalon, and Gederoth, as well as Soco, Timnah, and Gimzo with their villages.
19 Toe nafotsa’ Iehovà t’Iehoda ty amy Ahkaze mpanjaka’ Israele; ie nampanaña’e tahiñe Iehoda vaho vata’e niola amy Iehovà.
For the LORD humbled Judah because Ahaz king of Israel had thrown off restraint in Judah and had been most unfaithful to the LORD.
20 Nimb’ ama’e mb’eo t’i Tilgatepilnesere, mpanjaka’ i Asore, f’ie namorekeke aze fa tsy nampaozatse.
Then Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria came to Ahaz but afflicted him rather than strengthening him.
21 Aa ndra te nangalà’ i Ahkaze añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao naho añ’anjomba’ i mpanjakay naho amo roandriañeo vaho natolo’e amy mpanjaka’ i Asorey, tsy nolora’e.
Although Ahaz had taken a portion from the house of the LORD, from the royal palace, and from the princes and had presented it to the king of Assyria, it did not help him.
22 Mbore nanovoñe hakeo amy Iehovà t’i Ahkaze mpanjaka amy hasotria’ey
In the time of his distress, King Ahaz became even more unfaithful to the LORD.
23 amy te nanoa’e soroñe amo ‘ndrahare’ i Damesèke nandafa azeo, ami’ty hoe: Kanao mañolotse o mpanjaka’ i Arameo o ndrahare’ iareoo, le hanoako soroñe ka hañolora’ iareo ahy. Fe nampianto aze naho Israele iaby izay.
Since Damascus had defeated him, he sacrificed to their gods and said, “Because the gods of the kings of Aram have helped them, I will sacrifice to them that they may help me.” But these gods were the downfall of Ahaz and of all Israel.
24 Le natonto’ i Ahkaze o fanak’ añ’ anjomban’ Añaharo, le tsineratsera’e o fana’ i anjomban’ Añahareio naho narindri’e o lalambein’ anjomba’ Iehovào; vaho nandranjy kitrely ho am-bata’e an-kotso’ Ierosalaime iaby.
Then Ahaz gathered up the articles of the house of God, cut them into pieces, shut the doors of the house of the LORD, and set up altars of his own on every street corner in Jerusalem.
25 Le nanoa’e toets’ abo ze hene’ rova’ Iehoda, hañenga amo ndrahare ila’eo, hanigike Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’e.
In every city of Judah he built high places to offer incense to other gods, and so he provoked the LORD, the God of his fathers.
26 Ty ila’ o fitoloña’eo naho o sata’e iabio, ty valoha’e naho ty fara’e, inao t’ie misokitse amy bokem-panjaka’ Iehoda naho Israeley.
As for the rest of the acts of Ahaz and all his ways, from beginning to end, they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
27 Le nitrao-piròtse aman-droae’e t’i Ahkaze naho nalenteke an-drova ao, toe e Ierosalaime ao; fa tsy nitakone’ iareo mb’amo kiborim-panjaka’ Israeleo; Iekizkia ana’e ty nandimbe aze nifehe.
And Ahaz rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of Jerusalem, but he was not placed in the tombs of the kings of Israel. And his son Hezekiah reigned in his place.
