And there was there a prophet of the Lord, his name [was] Oded: and he went out to meet the host that were coming to Samaria, and said to them, Behold, the wrath of the Lord God of your fathers [is] upon Juda, and he has delivered them into your hands, and ye have slain them in wrath, and it has reached even to heaven.

And there came against him Thalgaphellasar king of Assyria, and he afflicted him.

21 I tangohia hoki e Ahata tetahi wahi i roto i te whare o Ihowa, i te whare ano o te kingi ratou ko nga rangatira, a hoatu ana ki te kingi o Ahiria; kihai ano tera i awhina i a ia.

And Achaz took the things [that were] in the house of the Lord, and the things in the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave them to the king of Assyria: but he was no help to him,

22 Na i te wa i he ai ia, ka tohe ano ia ki te he ki a Ihowa, taua kingi a Ahata.

but only [troubled him] in his affliction: and he departed yet more from the Lord, and king Achaz said,

23 I patu whakahere hoki ia ki nga atua o Ramahiku i patu nei i a ia; i ki hoki ia, Ko nga atua o nga kingi o Hiria kei te awhina i a ratou, na, me patu whakahere ahau ki a ratou, kia awhina ai ratou i ahau. Otiia ko ratou ano hei whakangoikore i a ia, i a Iharaira katoa ano hoki.

I will seek after the gods of Damascus that smite me. And he said, Forasmuch as the gods of the king of Syria themselves strengthen them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, and they will help me. But they became a stumbling-block to him, and to all Israel.

24 Na ka huihuia e Ahata nga oko o te whare o te Atua, tapatapahia ana e ia nga oko o te whare o te Atua, a tutakina ana e ia nga tatau o te whare o Ihowa. I hanga ano e ia etahi aata mana ki nga koki katoa o Hiruharama.

And Achaz removed the vessels of the house of the Lord, and cut them in pieces, and shut the doors of the house of the Lord, and made to himself altars in every corner in Jerusalem:

25 I hanga ano e ia ki nga pa o Hura etahi wahi tiketike hei tahu whakakakara ki nga atua ke, whakapataritaria ana e ia a Ihowa, te Atua o ona matua.

and in each several city in Juda he made high places to burn incense to strange gods: and they provoked the Lord God of their fathers.

26 Na, ko era meatanga atu ana, ko ana meatanga katoa o mua, o muri, nana, kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka o nga kingi o Hura raua ko Iharaira.

And the rest of his acts, and his deeds, the first and the last, behold, [they are] written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.

27 Na kua moe a Ahata ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki te pa, ki Hiruharama; otiia kihai i kawea ki nga tanumanga o nga kingi o Iharaira; a ko Hetekia, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.

And Achaz slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David; for they did not bring him into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Ezekias his son reigned in his stead.
