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 years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He didn’t do that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, like David his father,
2 Inni karaa mootota Israaʼel duukaa buʼee Baʼaalin waaqeffachuuf jedhees waaqota tolfamoo baqsee ni tolche.
but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and also made molten images for 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.
Moreover he burned incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burned his children in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.
4 Innis iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraatti, fiixee gaarranii irrattii fi muka lalisaa hunda jalatti qalma dhiʼeessee, ixaanas aarse.
He sacrificed and burned incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green 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.
Therefore Yahweh his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria. They struck him, and carried away from him a great multitude of captives, and brought them to Damascus. He was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who struck him with a great slaughter.
6 Sababii sabni Yihuudaa Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaa dhiiseef Pheqaan ilmi Remaaliyaa guyyaa tokkotti loltoota Yihuudaa kuma dhibba tokkoo fi digdama ni fixe.
For Pekah the son of Remaliah killed in Judah one hundred twenty thousand in one day, all of them valiant men, because they had forsaken Yahweh, 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 mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king’s son, Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah who was next to the king.
8 Israaʼeloonni firootuma isaanii irraa niitota, ilmaanii fi intallan kuma dhibba lama ni boojiʼan. Akkasumas boojuu akka malee baayʼee fudhatanii Samaariyaatti ni deebiʼan.
The children of Israel carried away captive of their brothers two hundred thousand women, sons, and daughters, and also took away much plunder from them, and brought the plunder 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 Yahweh was there, whose name was Oded; and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria, and said to them, “Behold, because Yahweh, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah, he has delivered them into your hand, and you have slain them in a rage which has reached up to 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 intend to degrade the children of Judah and Jerusalem as male and female slaves for yourselves. Aren’t there even with you trespasses of your own against Yahweh your God?
11 Mee na dhagaʼaa! Sababii dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo isinitti bobaʼeef namoota biyya keessanii kanneen boojitanii fiddan sana deebisaa.”
Now hear me therefore, and send back the captives that you have taken captive from your brothers, for the fierce wrath of Yahweh is on 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
Then some of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against those who came 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.”
and said to them, “You must not bring in the captives here, for you intend that which will bring on us a trespass against Yahweh, to add to our sins and to our guilt; for our guilt is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.”
14 Kanaafuu loltoonni fuula qondaaltotaatii fi yaaʼii guutuu duratti boojiʼamtootaa fi boojuu gad dhiisan.
So the armed men left the captives and the plunder before the princes and all the assembly.
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 who have been mentioned by name rose up and took the captives, and with the plunder clothed all who were naked among them, dressed them, gave them sandals, gave them something to eat and to drink, anointed them, carried all the feeble of them on donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brothers. Then they returned to Samaria.
16 Yeroo sanatti Aahaaz Mootichi gargaaraa argachuuf gara mootii Asooritti nama ergate.
At that time King Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him.
17 Edoomonni ammas dhufanii Yihuudaatti balaa buusanii boojiʼamtoota fudhatanii deemanii turaniitii;
For again the Edomites had come and struck Judah, and carried away captives.
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.
The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland and of the South of Judah, and had taken Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and also Gimzo and its villages; and they lived there.
19 Sababii Aahaaz mootichi Israaʼel saba Yihuudaa cubbuuf kakaasee ofii immoo Waaqayyoof amanamuu dideef Waaqayyo Yihuudaa ni salphise.
For Yahweh brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel, because he acted without restraint in Judah and trespassed severely against Yahweh.
20 Tiiglaat-Philneeser mootichi Asoor gara isaa dhufee ture; taʼus inni qooda isa gargaaru rakkina isatti fide.
Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came to him and gave him trouble, but didn’t strengthen 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.
For Ahaz took away a portion out of Yahweh’s house, and out of the house of the king and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria; but it didn’t help him.
22 Aahaaz Mootichi yeroo rakkina isaa keessa illee ittuma caalchisee Waaqayyoof amanamuu ni dide.
In the time of his distress, he trespassed yet more against Yahweh, this same King Ahaz.
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.
For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus which had defeated him. He said, “Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me.” But they were the ruin of him 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 gathered together the vessels of God’s house, cut the vessels of God’s house in pieces, and shut up the doors of Yahweh’s house; and he made himself altars in every corner of 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 city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked Yahweh, the God of his fathers, to anger.
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.
Now the rest of his acts, and all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written 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 slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem, because they didn’t bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
