2 Seenaa 28
1 Aahaaz yeroo mootii taʼetti nama waggaa digdama ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa kudha jaʼa ni bulche. Inni akka abbaa isaa akka Daawit fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan qajeelaa hin hojjenne.
Ahaz was twenty when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years. He did not do what was right in the Lord's sight as his forefather David had.
2 Inni karaa mootota Israaʼel duukaa buʼee Baʼaalin waaqeffachuuf jedhees waaqota tolfamoo baqsee ni tolche.
He followed the example of the kings of Israel, and also cast metal idols for worshiping the Baals.
3 Inni gochawwan jibbisiisoo saboota Waaqayyo fuula Israaʼelootaa duraa ariʼee baase sanaa hojjechuudhaan Sulula Ben Hinoom keessatti ixaana ni aarse; ilmaan isaa illee aarsaa godhee ibiddaan gube.
He burned sacrifices in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, and sacrificed his children in the fire, following the disgusting practices of the peoples the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.
4 Innis iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraatti, fiixee gaarranii irrattii fi muka lalisaa hunda jalatti qalma dhiʼeessee, ixaanas aarse.
He presented sacrifices and burned incense offerings on the high places, on the mountain tops, and under every living tree.
5 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Waaqni isaa dabarsee harka mootii Sooriyaatti isa kenne. Warri Sooriyaas isa moʼatanii namoota isaa hedduus boojiʼanii Damaasqootti geessan. Achii immoo inni harka mootii Israaʼelitti dabarfamee ni kenname; mootichis miidhaa guddaa isa irraan ni gaʼe.
As a result, the Lord his God let the king of Aram to conquer Ahaz. The Arameans attacked him and captured many of his people, taking them to Damascus. Ahaz was also defeated by the king of Israel in a massive attack.
6 Sababii sabni Yihuudaa Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaa dhiiseef Pheqaan ilmi Remaaliyaa guyyaa tokkotti loltoota Yihuudaa kuma dhibba tokkoo fi digdama ni fixe.
In just one day, Pekah, son of Remaliah, killed 120,000 fighting men in Judah, because they had abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers.
7 Zikriin loltuun jabaan gosa Efreem sun immoo Maʼaseyaa ilma mootichaa, Azriiqaam ajajaa masaraa mootummaa fi Elqaanaa itti aanaa mootichaa ni ajjeese.
Zichri, a warrior from Ephraim, killed Maaseiah, the son of the king; Azrikam, the palace governor; and Elkanah, the king's second-in-command.
8 Israaʼeloonni firootuma isaanii irraa niitota, ilmaanii fi intallan kuma dhibba lama ni boojiʼan. Akkasumas boojuu akka malee baayʼee fudhatanii Samaariyaatti ni deebiʼan.
The Israelites captured 200,000 of their “brothers”—women, sons, and daughters. They also took a great deal of plunder and brought it to Samaria.
9 Garuu raajiin Waaqayyoo kan Oodeed jedhamu tokko achi ture; innis yeroo loltoonni Samaariyaadhaa deebiʼanitti isaan simachuuf ni baʼe. Innis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Waaqayyo Waaqni abbootii keessanii waan Yihuudaatti aareef dabarsee harka keessanitti isaan kenne. Isin garuu dheekkamsa hamma samiitti ol fagaatuun isaan ni fixxan.
But a prophet of the Lord named Oded was there in Samaria, and he went out to meet the returning army. He told them, “It was because the Lord, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah that he allowed you to defeat them. But you have killed them with such fury that it has upset heaven.
10 Ammas dhiirotaa fi dubartoota Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem garboota keessan gochuu ni yaaddan. Isin mataan keessan iyyuu fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii duratti cubbuu hin hojjennee ree?
Now you're planning to turn these people from Judah and Jerusalem into slaves. But aren't you also guilty of sinning against the Lord your God?
11 Mee na dhagaʼaa! Sababii dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo isinitti bobaʼeef namoota biyya keessanii kanneen boojitanii fiddan sana deebisaa.”
Listen to me! Return the prisoners you've taken from your brothers, the fierce anger of the Lord is falling upon you!”
12 Ergasiis hangafoota namoota Efreem keessaa tokko tokko jechuunis Azaariyaa ilmi Yehohaanaan, Berekiyaan ilmi Meshileemoot, Yehiizqiiyaa ilmi Shaluumii fi Amaasaayi ilmi Hadilaay warra duulaa galaa jiran mormuudhaan
Some of the leaders of the people of Ephraim—Azariah, son of Jehohanan, Berechiah, son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah, son of Shallum, and Amasa, son of Hadlai—stood up in opposition against those returning from the war.
13 akkana jedhan; “Isin boojiʼamtoota kanneen as fiduu hin qabdan; yoo kanaa achii nu fuula Waaqayyoo duratti cubbamoota ni taana. Isin amma illee cubbuu fi balleessaa keenya ittuma dabaluu feetuu? Yakki keenya duraanuu baayʼateera; dheekkamsi isaa Israaʼelitti bobaʼeeraatii.”
“Don't you bring those prisoners here!” they told them. “If you do you will only add to our sins and wrongdoing against the Lord. Our guilt is already great, and his fierce anger is falling upon Israel.”
14 Kanaafuu loltoonni fuula qondaaltotaatii fi yaaʼii guutuu duratti boojiʼamtootaa fi boojuu gad dhiisan.
So the armed men left the prisoners and the plunder before the leaders and all the people gathered there.
15 Namoonni maqaan isaanii eerames loltoota harka boojiʼamtoota ni fuudhan; waan boojiʼame irraas warra qullaa jiran hundatti wayyaa ni uffisan. Isaanis uffataa fi kophee, waan nyaatamuu fi waan dhugamu illee ni kennaniif; dibatas isaan diban. Warra dadhaban hunda immoo harree irra teessisanii biyya firoonni isaanii jiran Magaalaa Meexxii sanatti gara Yerikootti isaan deebisanii ofii immoo Samaariyaatti ni dachaʼan.
The men named above got up and took clothes from the plunder to those that had none, gave them sandals to wear, and food and drink, and put olive oil on their wounds. Those who couldn't walk any more they put on donkeys, and took them all to Jericho, the town of palms, to be close to the people of Judah.
16 Yeroo sanatti Aahaaz Mootichi gargaaraa argachuuf gara mootii Asooritti nama ergate.
It was then that King Ahaz asked the king of Assyria for help.
17 Edoomonni ammas dhufanii Yihuudaatti balaa buusanii boojiʼamtoota fudhatanii deemanii turaniitii;
The armies of Edom had once again invaded Judah and taken people prisoner,
18 Filisxeemonni immoo magaalaawwan gaarran jalaa fi kanneen gama kibba Yihuudaatti argaman weeraranii Beet Shemeshi, Ayaaloon, Gedeerooti, Sookoo, Tiimnaahi, Gimzoo fi gandoota naannoo isaanitti argaman qabatanii keessa ni qubatan.
while the Philistines had attacked the towns in the foothills and the Negev of Judah. They had captured and occupied Beth-shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, along with Soco, Timnah, and Gimzo and their villages.
19 Sababii Aahaaz mootichi Israaʼel saba Yihuudaa cubbuuf kakaasee ofii immoo Waaqayyoof amanamuu dideef Waaqayyo Yihuudaa ni salphise.
The Lord had brought Judah down because Ahaz, king of Israel, was out of control in Judah, sinning terribly against the Lord.
20 Tiiglaat-Philneeser mootichi Asoor gara isaa dhufee ture; taʼus inni qooda isa gargaaru rakkina isatti fide.
So Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, came to Ahaz but attacked rather than helped him.
21 Aahaaz mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessaa, masaraa mootii fi mana ilmaan mootiitii waan tokko tokko fuudhee mootii Asooriif kennaa godhee ni dhiʼeesse; taʼus kunis isa hin gargaarre.
Ahaz took what was valuable from the Lord's Temple, the king's palace, and from his officials and gave them to the king of Assyria as tribute. But it didn't help him.
22 Aahaaz Mootichi yeroo rakkina isaa keessa illee ittuma caalchisee Waaqayyoof amanamuu ni dide.
Even at this time when he was having so much trouble, King Ahaz sinned more and more against the Lord.
23 Innis waaqota Damaasqoo kanneen isa moʼataniif aarsaa ni dhiʼeesse; “Waaqonni mootota Sooriyaa sababii isaan gargaaraniif akka isaan ana illee gargaaraniif ani aarsaa nan dhiʼeessaaf” jedhee yaadee tureetii. Isaan garuu kufaatii isaa fi kufaatii Israaʼel hundaa ni fidan.
He sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, whose army had defeated him, for he said to himself, “Since the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, I'll sacrifice to them so they can help me.” But this led to the ruin of Ahaz and of all Israel.
24 Aahaaz miʼoota mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa walitti qabee fudhatee deeme. Balbalawwan mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoos cufee golee daandiiwwan Yerusaalem hunda irratti iddoowwan aarsaa ni dhaabe.
Ahaz took the sacred items from the Lord's Temple and smashed them to pieces. He barred the doors of the Lord's Temple and set up pagan altars on every corner in Jerusalem.
25 Magaalaa Yihuudaa hunda keessattis waaqota biraaf ixaana aarsuuf iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa ijaaree Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaa dheekkamsaaf ni kakaase.
In every town throughout Judah he set up high places to make offerings to pagan gods, angering the Lord, the God of his forefathers.
26 Wantoonni bara mootummaa isaa keessa jalqabaa hamma dhumaatti hojjetaman kanneen biraa fi akki inni itti jiraate hundi kitaaba mootota Yihuudaa fi Israaʼel keessatti barreeffamaniiru.
The rest of what Ahaz did, from beginning to end, is written down in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
27 Aahaazis abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee magaalaa Yerusaalem keessatti ni awwaalame; garuu iddoo awwaala mootota Israaʼel keessa hin kaaʼamne. Ilmi isaa Hisqiyaas iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
Ahaz died, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem. They did not bury him in the tombs of the kings of Israel. Hezekiah his son took over as king.
