2 Mpanjaka 16
1 Niorotse nifehe t’i Ahkaze ana’ Iotame mpanjaka’ Iehodà amy taom-paha-folo-fito’ ambi’ i Pekà ana’ i Remaliày.
In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah, Ahaz son of Jotham became king of Judah.
2 Roapolo taoñe ty Ahkaze t’ie niorotse nifehe, le nifeleke folo taoñe eneñ’ amby e Ierosalaime ao; f’ie tsy nanahake i Davide rae’e mpanao ty hiti’e am-pihaino’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’e.
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 his God.
3 Te mone nañavelo an-tsata o mpanjaka’ Israeleo, mbore nampisorohe’e añ’afo i ana-dahi’ey, ami’ty haloloa’ o kilakila ondaty nandroaha’ Iehovà aolo’ o ana’ Israeleoo.
Instead, he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and even sacrificed his son in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
4 Nanao soroñe naho nañenga amo toets’ aboo re, naho amo haboañeo, le ambane’ ze atao hatae mandrevake iaby.
And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.
5 Nionjomb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo amy zao t’i Retsine mpanjaka’ i Arame, naho i Pekà ana’ i Remalià mpanjaka’ Israele hialy; le narikatohe’ iareo t’i Ahkaze f’ie tsy nahagioke.
Then Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to wage war against Jerusalem. They besieged Ahaz but could not overcome him.
6 Nampoli’ i Retsine amy Arame henane zay t’i Elate, le rinoa’e boak’ Elate ao o nte-Iehodao naho nivotrake Elate o nte-Edomeo vaho nimoneñe ao pak’ androany.
At that time Rezin king of Aram recovered Elath for Aram, drove out the men of Judah, and sent the Edomites into Elath, where they live to this day.
7 Aa le nañitrike ìrak’ amy Tiglate-pilesere mpanjaka’ i Asore re, nanao ty hoe; Mpitoro’o naho ana’o iraho, mionjona mb’ etoa naho rombaho am-pitam-panjaka’ i Arame vaho am-pitam-panjaka’ Israele, ie fa nitroatse amako.
So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. Come up and save me from the hands of the kings of Aram and Israel, who are rising up against me.”
8 Aa le rinambe’ i Ahkaze ty volafoty naho ty volamena nizoeñe añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà naho am-pañajam-bara añ’ anjombam-panjaka ao le nampisangitrife’e ho ravoravo amy mpanjaka’ i Asorey añe.
Ahaz also took the silver and gold found in the house of the LORD and in the treasuries of the king’s palace, and he sent it as a gift to the king of Assyria.
9 Nañaoñe aze ty mpanjaka’ i Asore le nionjomb’e Damesèke mb’eo ty mpanjaka’ i Asore nitavañe naho nendese’e an-drohy mb’e Kire mb’eo ondati’eo vaho zinevo’e t’i Retsine.
So the king of Assyria responded to him, marched up to Damascus, and captured it. He took its people to Kir as captives and put Rezin to death.
10 Nimb’e Damesèke mb’eo t’i Ahkaze hifampigaoñe amy Tiglate-pilesere mpanjaka’ i Asore, le niisa’e ty kitrely e Damesèk’ ao; le nampihitrife’ i Ahkaze mpanjaka amy Oriià mpisoroñe ty sare’ i kitreliy, naho ty vinta’e—ty fitseneañe aze iaby.
Then King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria. On seeing the altar in Damascus, King Ahaz sent Uriah the priest a model of the altar and complete plans for its construction.
11 Aa le niranjie’ i Oriià i kitreliy; i nañitrifa’ i Ahkaze mpanjaka ama’e boake Damesèk’ añe ty nitsenea’ i Oriià mpisoroñe aze, vaho nimpoly boake Damesèke t’i Ahkaze mpanjaka.
And Uriah the priest built the altar according to all the instructions King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, and he completed it by the time King Ahaz had returned.
12 Aa ie pok’ eo boake Damesèke i mpanjakay, nizoe’ i mpanjakay i kitreliy; le nitotok’ amy kitreliy i mpanjakay vaho nañenga ama’e;
When the king came back from Damascus and saw the altar, he approached it and presented offerings on it.
13 nemboha’e i engan-koroa’ey, naho i engan-tsatrin’ arofo’ey, naho nadoa’e eo i enga ranoy, vaho nafitse’e amy kitreliy ty lio’ o engam-panintsiñañeo.
He offered his burnt offering and his grain offering, poured out his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings on the altar.
14 Le navi’e boak’ aolo’ i anjombay i kitrely torisike añatrefa’ Iehovày, ie boak’ añivo’ i kitreli’ey naho i anjomba’ Iehovày, vaho napo’e avara’ i kitreli’ey eo.
He also took the bronze altar that stood before the LORD from the front of the temple (between the new altar and the house of the LORD) and he put it on the north side of the new altar.
15 Linili’ i Ahkaze mpanjaka t’i Oriià mpisoroñe, ami’ty hoe: Amy kitrely jabajabay ty isoroñañe maraindraiñe naho i enga-mahakama harivay naho i fisoroña’ i mpanjakaiy naho i enga-mahakama’ey naho o fonga fisoroña’ ondati’ i taneio naho o enga mahakama’ iareoo naho o enga-rano’ iareoo, le afitsezo ama’e iaby ty lio’ o soroñañe iabio naho ty lio’ ze hene engaeñe; fe ho ahy hañontaneako i kitrely torisikey.
Then King Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest, “Offer on the great altar the morning burnt offering, the evening grain offering, and the king’s burnt offering and grain offering, as well as the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings of all the people of the land. Sprinkle on the altar all the blood of the burnt offerings and sacrifices. But I will use the bronze altar to seek guidance.”
16 Aa le nanoe’ i Oriià mpisoroñe iaby ty nandilia’ i Ahkaze mpanjaka aze.
So Uriah the priest did just as King Ahaz had commanded.
17 Tsinera’ i Ahkaze mpanjaka ty lifi’ o kalesio, le nakatra’e o kovetao; le nazotso’e boak’ amo añombe-torisike ambane’eo i sajoa-beiy vaho napo’e ambone vato linamake eo.
King Ahaz also cut off the frames of the movable stands and removed the bronze basin from each of them. He took down the Sea from the bronze oxen that were under it and put it on a stone base.
18 Le nafaha’e amy anjomba’ Iehovày i lampalampa niranjieñe amy anjombay ho amo Sabatao naho i fimoahañe mb’ añ’ anjombam-panjaka alafe’ey, ty amy mpanjaka’ i Asorey.
And on account of the king of Assyria, he removed the Sabbath canopy they had built in the temple and closed the royal entryway outside the house of the LORD.
19 Aa naho o fitoloña’ i Ahkaze ila’e nanoe’eo, tsy fa sinokitse amy bokem-pamoliliañe o mpanjaka’ Iehodaoy hao?
As for the rest of the acts of Ahaz, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
20 Le nitrao-piròtse aman-droae’e t’i Ahkaze naho nalenteke aman-droae’e an-drova’ i Davide ao vaho nandimbe aze nifehe t’i Kezkià ana’e.
And Ahaz rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David, and his son Hezekiah reigned in his place.
