2 Mootota 16
1 Bara mootummaa Pheqaa ilma Remaaliyaa keessa waggaa kudha torbaffaatti Aahaaz ilmi Yootaam mooticha Yihuudaa mootii taʼee bulchuu jalqabe.
In the seventeenth year of Pekah, the son of Remaliah: Ahaz, the son of Jotham, reigned as king of Judah.
2 Aahaaz yeroo mootii taʼetti nama waggaa digdamaa ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa kudha jaʼa ni bulche. Inni akka abbaa isaa akka Daawit fuula Waaqayyoo Waaqa isaa duratti waan qajeelaa hin hojjenne.
Ahaz was twenty years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do what was pleasing in the sight of the Lord, his God, as his father David did.
3 Inni karaa mootota Israaʼel duukaa buʼee gochawwan jibbisiisoo saboota Waaqayyo fuula Israaʼelootaa duraa ariʼee baase sanaa hojjechuudhaan ilma isaa illee aarsaa godhee ibiddaan gube.
Instead, he walked in the way of the kings of Israel. Moreover, he even consecrated his son, making him pass through fire, in accord with the idols of the nations that the Lord destroyed before the sons of Israel.
4 Innis iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraatti, fiixee gaarranii irrattii fi muka lalisaa hunda jalatti qalma dhiʼeessee, ixaanas aarse.
Also, he was immolating victims, and burning incense, in the high places, and on the hills, and under every leafy tree.
5 Reziin mootichi Sooriyaatii fi Pheqaan ilmi Remaaliyaa mootichi Israaʼel Yerusaalemin loluuf ol baʼanii Aahaazin marsan; garuu isa moʼachuu hin dandeenye.
Then Rezin, the king of Syria, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, the king of Israel, ascended to do battle against Jerusalem. And they besieged Ahaz, but they were not able to overcome him.
6 Yeroo sanatti Reziin mootichi Sooriyaa namoota Yihuudaa ariʼee baasuudhaan Eelaatin warra Sooriyaatiif deebise. Ergasiis Edoomonni Eelaatitti godaananii hamma harʼaatti achuma jiraatu.
At that time, Rezin, the king of Syria, restored Elath to Syria, and he expelled the Judeans from Elath. And the Idumeans went into Elath, and they have lived there, even to this day.
7 Aahaazis akkana jedhee gara Tiiglaat Phileeser mooticha Asooritti nama erge; “Ani garbichaa fi ilma kee ti. Kottuutii harka mootii Sooriyaatii fi harka mootii Israaʼel kanneen natti duulaniitii na baasi.”
Then Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser, the king of the Assyrians, saying: “I am your servant, and I am your son. Ascend and accomplish my salvation from the hand of the king of Syria, and from the hand of the king of Israel, who have risen up together against me.”
8 Kana irratti Aahaaz meetii fi warqee mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa jiruu fi kan mankuusaa qabeenya masaraa mootummaa keessatti argamu baasee kennaa godhee mootii Asooritiif ni erge.
And when he had collected the silver and the gold that could be found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasuries of the king, he sent it as a gift to the king of the Assyrians.
9 Mootiin Asoor sunis kadhaa isaa tole jedhee Damaasqoo lolee qabate. Jiraattota ishees boojiʼee Qiiritti geesse; Reziinin immoo ni ajjeese.
And he agreed to his will. For the king of the Assyrians ascended against Damascus, and he laid waste to it. And he carried away its inhabitants to Cyrene. But Rezin he killed.
10 Aahaaz mootichi Tiiglaat Phileeser mooticha Asoor arguuf Damaasqoo dhaqe. Innis iddoo aarsaa tokko Damaasqoo keessatti argee fakkeenya isaatii fi karoora ittiin ijaaran hunda barreessee Uuriyaa lubichatti erge.
And king Ahaz traveled to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser, the king of the Assyrians. And when he had seen the altar of Damascus, king Ahaz sent to Uriah, the priest, its pattern and likeness, according to all of its work.
11 Kanaafuu Uuriyaa lubichi akkuma karoora Aahaaz mootichi Damaasqoodhaa ergeef sana hundaatti utuu Aahaaz mootichi Damaasqoodhaa hin deebiʼin dura iddoo aarsaa sana ijaaree fixe.
And Uriah, the priest, constructed an altar in accord with all that king Ahaz had commanded from Damascus. Uriah, the priest, did so, until king Ahaz arrived from Damascus.
12 Mootichis yommuu Damaasqoodhaa deebiʼee iddoo aarsaa sana argetti itti dhiʼaatee irratti aarsaa dhiʼeesse.
And when the king had arrived from Damascus, he saw the altar, and he venerated it. And he went up and immolated holocausts, with his own sacrifice.
13 Innis aarsaa gubamuu fi kennaa midhaanii dhiʼeessee dhibaayyuu illee dhibaafatee dhiiga aarsaa nagaa kan ofii isaas iddoo aarsaa sana irratti ni facaase.
And he offered libations, and he poured out the blood of the peace offerings, which he had offered, upon the altar.
14 Iddoo aarsaa naasii irraa hojjetamee fuula Waaqayyoo dura dhaabatee ture sanas mana qulqullummaa duraa iddoo aarsaa haaraa fi mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo gidduudhaa fidee gama kaabaatiin iddoo aarsaa haaraa bira kaaʼe.
But the altar of brass, which was before the Lord, he took away from the face of the temple, and from the place of the altar, and from the place of the temple of the Lord. And he positioned it at the side of the altar, toward the north.
15 Ergasii Aahaaz mootichi akkana jedhee Uuriyaa lubicha ajaje; “Iddoo aarsaa guddicha irratti aarsaa gubamu kan ganamaatii fi kennaa midhaanii kan galgalaa, aarsaa mootichaa kan gubamuu fi kennaa midhaanii, aarsaa namoota biyyattii hundaa kan gubamu, kennaa isaanii kan midhaaniitii fi dhibaayyuu isaanii dhiʼeessi. Iddoo aarsaa irratti dhiiga aarsaa gubamuutii fi dhiiga qalmaa hunda facaasi. Iddoo aarsaa kan naasii irraa hojjetame garuu anatu ittiin gorsa gaafata.”
Also, king Ahaz instructed Uriah, the priest, saying: “Upon the great altar, offer the morning holocaust, and the evening sacrifice, and the holocaust of the king, and his sacrifice, and the holocaust of the entire people of the land, and their sacrifices. But their libations, and all the blood of the holocaust, and all the blood of the victim, you shall pour out upon it. Then truly, the altar of brass shall be prepared for use at my will.”
16 Uuriyaan lubichis akkuma Aahaaz mootichi ajaje sana godhe.
And so Uriah, the priest, acted in accord with all that king Ahaz had instructed to him.
17 Aahaaz mootichi baattuuwwan asii fi achi sochoofaman sana irraa marsaawwan buqqisee caabiiwwan dhiqannaa illee irraa baase. Gaanii sana baattuuwwan fakkii jibootaa kanneen naasii irraa hojjetaman irraa fuudhee dhagaa afamaa irra kaaʼe.
Then king Ahaz took away the engraved bases, and the basin that was upon them. And he took down the sea from the bronze oxen, which were holding it up. And he positioned it upon a layer of pavement stone.
18 Innis mootii Asooriif jedhee oobdii guyyaa Sanbataatiif hojjetame iddoo isaatii fuudhee karra alaa kan mootonni ittiin mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo seenanis ni buqqise.
Also, the canopy for the Sabbath, which he had built in the temple, and the exterior entrance of the king, he converted into the temple of the Lord, because of the king of the Assyrians.
19 Wanni bara mootummaa Aahaaz keessa hojjetame biraatii fi wanni inni hojjete kitaaba seenaa mootota Yihuudaa keessatti barreeffameera mitii?
Now the rest of the words of Ahaz that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
20 Aahaazis abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee isaanuma biratti Magaalaa Daawit keessatti ni awwaalame. Ilmi isaa Hisqiyaas iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David. And Hezekiah, his son, reigned in his place.
