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 king of Judah, began to reign.
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 began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do what was right in the eyes of Yahweh his God, as David his ancestor had done.
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 way of the kings of Israel; indeed, he made his son pass through the fire, following the detestable practices of the nations, which Yahweh had driven out before the people of Israel.
4 Nanao soroñe naho nañenga amo toets’ aboo re, naho amo haboañeo, le ambane’ ze atao hatae mandrevake iaby.
He offered sacrifices and burned incense at the high places, on the hilltops, 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 attack. They besieged Ahaz, but they could not conquer 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 and drove the men of Judah out of Elath. Then the Arameans came to Elath where they have lived 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 hand of the king of Aram and from the hand of the king of Israel, who have attacked 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.
So Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of Yahweh and among the treasures 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.
Then the king of Assyria listened to him, and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, conquered it and carried off its people as prisoners to Kir. He also killed Rezin the king of Aram.
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.
King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria. At Damascus he saw an altar. He sent to Uriah the priest a model of the altar and its pattern and the design for all the workmanship needed.
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.
So Uriah the priest built an altar to be just like the plans that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus. He finished it before King Ahaz arrived 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;
When the king came from Damascus he saw the altar; the king approached the altar and made 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 made his burnt offering and his grain offering, poured out his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his fellowship 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.
The bronze altar that was before Yahweh—he brought it from the front of the temple, from between his altar and the temple of Yahweh 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.
Then King Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest, saying, “On the large altar burn the morning burnt offering and the evening grain offering, and the king's burnt offering and his grain offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their grain offering and their drink offerings. Sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice. But the bronze altar will be for me to consult for guidance.”
16 Aa le nanoe’ i Oriià mpisoroñe iaby ty nandilia’ i Ahkaze mpanjaka aze.
Uriah the priest did just what King Ahaz 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.
Then King Ahaz removed the panels and the basins from the portable stands; he also took down the sea from off the bronze oxen that were under it and put it on a stone pavement.
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.
He removed the covered walkway for the Sabbath that they had built at the temple, along with the king's entry outside the temple of Yahweh, 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?
As for the other matters concerning Ahaz and what he did, are they not written in the book of the events 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.
Ahaz slept with his ancestors and was buried with his ancestors in the city of David. Hezekiah his son became king in his place.
