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, the son of Remaliah, Ahaz, the 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; he was ruling for sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do what was right in the eyes of the Lord his God, as David his father did.
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.
But he went in the ways of the kings of Israel, and even made his son go through the fire, copying the disgusting ways of the nations whom the Lord had sent out of the land before the children of Israel.
4 Nanao soroñe naho nañenga amo toets’ aboo re, naho amo haboañeo, le ambane’ ze atao hatae mandrevake iaby.
And he made offerings, burning them in the high places and 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 Jerusalem to make war; and they made an attack on Ahaz, shutting him in, but were not able to 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 the king of Edom got Elath back for Edom, and sent the Jews out of Elath; and the Edomites came back to Elath where they are living 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 representatives to Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, saying, I am your servant and your son; come to my help against the kings of Aram and Israel who have taken up arms 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.
And Ahaz took the silver and gold which were in the house of the Lord and in the king's store-house, and sent them as an offering 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.
And the king of Assyria, in answer to his request, went up against Damascus and took it, and took its people away as prisoners to Kir, 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 for a meeting with Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria; and there he saw the altar which was at Damascus; and King Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest a copy of the altar, giving the design of it and all the details of its structure.
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 from the copy King Ahaz sent from Damascus, Urijah made an altar and had it ready by the time King Ahaz came back from Damascus.
12 Aa ie pok’ eo boake Damesèke i mpanjakay, nizoe’ i mpanjakay i kitreliy; le nitotok’ amy kitreliy i mpanjakay vaho nañenga ama’e;
And when the king came from Damascus, he saw the altar; and he went up on it and made an offering 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 made his burned offering and his meal offering and his drink offering there, draining out 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.
And the brass altar, which was before the Lord, he took from the front of the house, from between his altar and the house of the Lord, and put it on the north side of his 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.
And King Ahaz gave orders to Urijah the priest, saying, Make the morning burned offering and the evening meal offering and the king's burned offering and meal offering, with the burned offerings of all the people and their meal offerings and drink offerings, on the great altar, and put on it all the blood of the burned offerings and of the beasts which are offered; but the brass altar will be for my use to get directions from the Lord.
16 Aa le nanoe’ i Oriià mpisoroñe iaby ty nandilia’ i Ahkaze mpanjaka aze.
So Urijah the priest did everything as the king said
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.
And King Ahaz took off the sides of the wheeled bases, and took down the great water-vessel from off the brass oxen which were under it and put it on a floor of stone.
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.
the house of the Lord, because of the king of Assyria.
19 Aa naho o fitoloña’ i Ahkaze ila’e nanoe’eo, tsy fa sinokitse amy bokem-pamoliliañe o mpanjaka’ Iehodaoy hao?
Now the rest of the things which Ahaz did, are they not recorded in the book of the history 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 went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; and Hezekiah his son became king in his place.
