2 Madzimambo 16
1 Mugore regumi namanomwe raPeka mwanakomana waRemaria, Ahazi mwanakomana waJotamu mambo weJudha akatanga kutonga uye akatonga muJerusarema kwamakore gumi namatanhatu.
In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign.
2 Ahazi akanga ava namakore makumi maviri paakava mambo. Haana kuita zvakarurama pamberi paJehovha Mwari wake, sababa vake Dhavhidhi.
Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he did not do that which was right in the eyes of the LORD his God, like David his father.
3 Akafamba munzira dzamadzimambo eIsraeri, akasvika pakubayira vanakomana vake mumoto achitevera zvainyangadza zvedzimwe ndudzi dzakanga dzadzingwa naJehovha pamberi pavaIsraeri.
But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yes, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel.
4 Akabayira zvibayiro uye akapisa zvinonhuhwira pamatunhu akakwirira, pamusoro pezvikomo napasi pemiti yose yakapfumvutira.
He sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
5 Ipapo Rezini mambo weAramu naPeka mwanakomana waRemaria mambo weIsraeri vakauya kuzorwa neJerusarema vakakomba Ahazi, asi havana kugona kumukunda.
Then Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him.
6 Panguva iyoyo, Rezini mambo weAramu akadzorera Erati kuna Aramu nokudzinga varume veJudha. VaEdhomu vakapinda muErati uye ndimo mavanogara kusvikira nhasi.
At that time Rezin king of Aram recovered Eilat to Aram, and drove the Jews from Eilat; and the Arameans came to Eilat, and lived there, to this day.
7 Ahazi akatuma nhume kuna Tigirati-Pireseri mambo weAsiria akati, “Ndiri muranda wenyu nomwanakomana wenyu. Uyai kuno mundinunure kubva muruoko rwamambo weAramu norwamambo weIsraeri vari kundirwisa.”
So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, saying, "I am your servant and your son. Come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Aram, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who rise up against me."
8 Ahazi akatora sirivha negoridhe zvakanga zvawanikwa mutemberi yaJehovha nomumatura omuzinda wamambo akazvitumira sechipo kuna mambo weAsiria.
Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria.
9 Mambo weAsiria akamunzwa ndokubva andorwisa Dhamasiko akarikunda. Akaendesa vanhu varo kuKiri uye akauraya Rezini.
The king of Assyria listened to him; and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried its people captive to Kir, and killed Rezin.
10 Ipapo Mambo Ahazi akaenda kuDhamasiko kundosangana naTigirati-Pireseri mambo weAsiria. Akaona aritari muDhamasiko ndokubva atumira mufananidzo wearitari kuna Uria muprista, nerondedzero yamavakirwo ayo.
King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, and saw the altar that was at Damascus; and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the cohen the fashion of the altar, and its pattern, according to all its workmanship.
11 Saka muprista Uria akavaka aritari maererano namavakirwo ose akanga atumwa naMambo Ahazi kubva kuDhamasiko, akaipedza Mambo Ahazi asati adzokako.
Urijah the cohen built an altar: according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so Urijah the cohen made it for the coming of king Ahaz from Damascus.
12 Mambo akati adzoka kubva kuDhamasiko akaona aritari akasvika pairi akapa zvipiriso pairi.
When the king had come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king drew near to the altar, and offered on it.
13 Akapa chipiriso chinopiswa, rechipiriso chezviyo, akadururapo chipiriso chake chokunwa uye akasasa ropa nezvipiriso zvokuwadzana pamusoro pearitari.
He burnt his burnt offering and his meal offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, on the altar.
14 Aritari yendarira yakanga yakamiswa pamberi paJehovha, akaibvisa kumberi kwetemberi kuti abve pakati pearitari itsva netemberi yaJehovha, uye akaiisa kudivi rokumusoro kwearitari itsva.
The bronze altar, which was before the LORD, he brought from the forefront of the house, from between his altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of his altar.
15 Ipapo Mambo Ahazi akarayira muprista Uria mirayiro iyi akati, “Pamusoro pearitari huru, upe chipiriso chinopiswa chamangwanani, uye manheru chipiriso chezviyo, chipiriso chinopiswa chamambo nechipiriso chake chezviyo, uye chipiriso chinopiswa chavanhu vose venyika, nechipiriso chavo chezviyo, nezvipiriso zvavo zvokunwa. Usase paaritari, ropa rose rezvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvibayiro. Asi ndichashandisa aritari yendarira pakutsvaka kutungamirirwa.”
King Ahaz commanded Urijah the cohen, saying, "On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meal offering, and the king's burnt offering, and his meal offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meal offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice; but the bronze altar shall be for me to inquire by."
16 Naizvozvo muprista Uria akaita sezvaakanga arayirwa naMambo Ahazi.
Urijah the cohen did so, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.
17 Ipapo mambo Ahazi akabvisa mapuranga omumativi uye akabvisawo madhishi pazvigadziko zvinofambiswa. Akabvisa Gungwa kubva panzombe dzendarira dzairitsigira akarigadzika pahwaro hwedombo.
King Ahaz cut off the panels of the bases, and removed the basin from off them, and took down the sea from off the bronze oxen that were under it, and put it on a pavement of stone.
18 Akabvisa denga reSabata rakanga rambovakwa patemberi uye akabvisa suo ramambo kunze kwetemberi yaJehovha, kuti akudze mambo weAsiria.
The covered way for the Sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king's entry outside, turned he to the house of the LORD, because of the king of Assyria.
19 Zvino zvimwe zvakaitika pakutonga kwaAhazi, uye zvaakaita iye, hazvina kunyorwa here mubhuku renhoroondo dzamadzimambo eJudha?
Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
20 Ahazi akazorora namadzibaba ake akavigwa pamwe chete navo muGuta raDhavhidhi. Hezekia mwanakomana wake akamutevera paumambo.
Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
