Taariikhdii Labaad 28
1 Aaxaas markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray labaatan sannadood, oo lix iyo toban sannadood ayuu Yeruusaalem boqor ku ahaa, oo isagu ma uu samayn sidii awowgiis Daa'uud oo kale wax Rabbiga hortiisa ku qumman,
Ahaz was 20 years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. His ancestor King David was a good king, but Ahaz was not like David. He constantly disobeyed Yahweh
2 laakiinse wuxuu ku socday jidadkii boqorrada dalka Israa'iil, oo weliba wuxuu Bacaliim u sameeyey sanamyo la shubay.
and was as sinful as the kings of Israel had been. He made idols of the god Baal.
3 Oo haddana foox buu ku shiday dooxadii ina Hinnom, oo carruurtiisiina dab buu ku dhex gubay, sidii ay ahayd karaahiyadii quruumihii Rabbigu ka eryay reer binu Israa'iil hortooda.
He burned incense in Hinnom Valley. He even [killed some of] his own sons [and] offered [them] as sacrifices to be completely burned. That imitated the disgusting customs of the people-groups who previously lived there, people whom Yahweh had expelled as the Israelis advanced through the land.
4 Oo haddana wuxuu ku allabaryi jiray oo fooxna ku shidi jiray meelihii sarsare, iyo buuraha dushooda, iyo geed kasta oo dheer oo doog ah hoostiisaba.
Ahaz offered sacrifices [to idols] at shrines on hilltops and under every big green tree.
5 Oo sidaas daraaddeed ayaa Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ahu isagii ku riday gacantii boqorkii Suuriya, oo intay isagii wax ku dhufteen ayay dadkiisii tirada badnaana maxaabiis ahaan ugu kaxaysteen Dimishaq. Oo haddana isagii waxaa gacanta loo geliyey boqorkii dalka Israa'iil kaasoo wax badan ka laayay.
Therefore Yahweh his God allowed his army to be defeated by the army of the king of Syria. They captured many soldiers of Judah and took them as prisoners to Damascus. The army of the king of Israel also defeated the army of Judah and killed very many of their soldiers.
6 Oo Feqax ina Remalyaah ayaa dalka Yahuudah isku maalin ku laayay boqol iyo labaatan kun oo nin oo dhammaantood wada xoog badan, maxaa yeelay, iyagu waxay ka tageen Rabbigii ahaa Ilaahii awowayaashood.
In one day the army of Remaliah’s son, King Pekah [of Israel], killed 120,000 soldiers in Judah. That happened because [the people of] Judah had abandoned Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped].
7 Oo Sikrii oo ahaa nin xoog badan oo reer Efrayim ayaa dilay Macaseeyaah oo ahaa boqorka wiilkiisii, iyo Casriiqaam oo reerka u talin jiray, iyo Elqaanaah oo ahaa kii boqorka ku xigay.
Zicri, a warrior from the tribe of Ephraim, killed king Ahaz’s son Maaseiah, Azrikam the officer in charge of the palace, and Elkanah, the king’s assistant.
8 Oo dadkii Israa'iilna waxay walaalahood maxaabiis ahaan uga soo kaxaysteen laba boqol oo kun oo qof, oo ahaa naago iyo wiilal iyo gabdhoba, oo waxay kaloo ka dhaceen maal badan, oo maalkiina waxay keeneen Samaariya.
The soldiers of Israel captured 200,000 of the people of Judah, including many wives and sons and daughters [of the soldiers of Judah]. They also seized and took back to Samaria many valuable things.
9 Laakiinse halkaas waxaa joogay nebi Rabbigu soo dirtay, oo magiciisana waxaa la odhan jiray Codeed, wuuna u baxay inuu ka hor tago ciidankii Samaariya ku soo socday oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Bal eega, Rabbiga ah Ilaahii awowayaashiin ayaa u cadhooday dadka Yahuudah, oo sidaas daraaddeed ayuu iyaga gacantiinna u soo geliyey, oo idinna waxaad iyagii ku layseen cadho kulul oo tan iyo samada gaadhay.
But a prophet of Yahweh whose name was Obed was there [in Samaria]. He went out of the city to meet the army when it returned to Samaria. He said to them, “Because Yahweh, the God whom your ancestors [belonged to], was angry with [the people of] Judah, he allowed you to defeat them. But God has seen the cruel way that you slaughtered them.
10 Oo imminka waxaad ku talo jirtaan inaad hoosaysiisaan dadka Yahuudah iyo dadka Yeruusaalem si ay idiinku ahaadaan niman addoommo ah iyo naago addoommo ah, laakiinse miyaanay jirin xadgudubyo aad idinkuba ku xadgudubteen Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah?
And now you want to [sin by] causing men and women from Judah to become your slaves, but you have certainly also sinned against Yahweh our God!
11 Haddaba i maqla, oo celiya maxaabiistii aad walaalihiin ka soo kaxaysateen, maxaa yeelay, waxaa idin kor saaran Rabbiga cadhadiisa kulul.
So listen to me! Send back [to Judah] your fellow-countrymen whom you have captured, because Yahweh is extremely angry with you [for what you did to them].”
12 Markaasay madaxdii reer Efrayim qaarkood hor istaageen kuwii dagaalka ka soo noqday, oo madaxdaasuna waxay ahaayeen Casaryaah ina Yooxaanaan, iyo Berekyaah ina Meshilleemood, iyo Yexisqiyaah ina Shalluum, iyo Camaasaa ina Xadlay.
Then some of the leaders of [the tribe of] Ephraim—Azariah the son of Jehohanan, Berekiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai—rebuked those who were returning from the battle.
13 Oo waxay iyagii ku yidhaahdeen, Idinku waa inaydnaan maxaabiista halkan soo gelin, waayo, waxaad ku talo jirtaan inaad ina kor saartaan xadgudub Rabbiga ka gees ah, oo waxaad inoo sii kordhinaysaan dembiyadeennii iyo xadgudubkeennii, maxaa yeelay, xadgudubkeennu aad buu u weyn yahay, oo dadka Israa'iilna aad baa loogu cadhooday.
They said to them, “You must not bring those prisoners here! If you do that, Yahweh will consider that we are guilty of sinning. We are already guilty of committing many sins; do you want to cause us to be even more guilty by committing another sin? God is already very angry with [us people of] Israel!”
14 Sidaas daraaddeed raggii hubka sitay waxay maxaabiistii iyo boolidiiba kaga tageen amiirrada iyo shirkii oo dhan hortooda.
So, while their leaders and others were watching, the soldiers released the prisoners, and also gave back to them the valuable things that they had captured.
15 Markaasay nimankii la magacaabay soo kaceen, oo waxay qabteen maxaabiistii, oo kuwii dhexdooda ku jiray oo qaawanaana dhar bay uga xidheen boolidii, wax bay huwiyeen, oo kabana way u geliyeen, oo waxay siiyeen wax ay cunaan iyo wax ay cabbaanba, wayna u subkeen, oo kuwii itaalka yaraa oo dhanna dameeray ku qaadeen, markaasay Yerixoo oo ahayd magaaladii geedatimireedka lahayd walaalahood ugu geeyeen, dabadeedna Samaariya ayay ku noqdeen.
The leaders who were selected took some of the clothes that the soldiers had taken from the prisoners and gave those clothes back to the people who were naked. They also gave to the prisoners sandals and other clothes and things to eat and drink, and they gave them olive oil to rub on their wounds. They gave donkeys to those who were very weak, in order that they could ride on them. Then they led them all to Jericho, the city that had many palm trees. Then those leaders [of Israel] returned to Samaria.
16 Oo wakhtigaas ayaa Boqor Aaxaas u cid dirsaday boqorradii reer Ashuur inay caawiyaan.
About that time, King Ahaz sent [a message] to the king of Assyria requesting help.
17 Waayo, waxaa haddana yimid reer Edom oo intay dalka Yahuudah wax ku dhufteen ayay dadkoodii maxaabiis ahaan u kaxaysteen.
[He did that because the army from] the Edom people-group had come again and attacked Judah and taken away many of the people of Judah as prisoners.
18 Oo weliba reer Falastiinna waxay weerareen magaalooyinkii dooxada iyo kuwii dalka Yahuudah ee Koonfureed, oo waxay qabsadeen Beytshemesh, iyo Ayaaloon, iyo Gedeerood, iyo Sookoo iyo tuulooyinkeedii, iyo Timnaah iyo tuulooyinkeedii, iyo weliba Gimsoo iyo tuulooyinkeedii, oo intaas oo dhanna way iska degeen.
At the same time, men from Philistia had raided/attacked towns in the foothills and in the southern desert of Judah. They had captured Beth-Shemesh, Aijalon, and Gederoth [cities], as well as Soco, Timnah and Gimzo [towns] and the nearby villages.
19 Rabbigu wuxuu dadka Yahuudah hoos ugu dejiyey boqorkii dalka Israa'iil oo Aaxaas ahaa daraaddiis, maxaa yeelay, si xun buu dalka Yahuudah ugu dhex macaamilooday, oo Rabbigana aad buu ugu xadgudbay.
Yahweh [allowed those things to happen in order to] humble king Ahaz, because he had encouraged the people of Judah to do wicked things and had disobeyed Yahweh very much.
20 Markaasaa waxaa isagii u yimid Tilgad Filneser oo ahaa boqorkii Ashuur, oo isna aad buu u dhibay, mana uu caawin isagii.
Tiglath-Pileser, the king of Assyria, sent [his army saying that they would] help Ahaz, but instead of helping him, they caused him to experience trouble.
21 Markaasaa Aaxaas qayb ka soo qaaday gurigii Rabbiga iyo gurigii boqorka iyo kii amiirradaba, oo wuxuu siiyey boqorkii Ashuur, laakiinse taasu isagii waxba uma tarin.
Ahaz’s [soldiers] took some of the [valuable] things from the temple and from the king’s palace and from other leaders of Judah and sent them to the king of Assyria [to pay him to help them], but the king of Assyria refused to help Ahaz.
22 Oo Boqor Aaxaas kaas qudhiisu intuu dhibaataysnaa ayuu weliba Rabbiga si weyn ugu sii xadgudbay.
While King Ahaz was experiencing those troubles, he disobeyed Yahweh even more.
23 Waayo, isagu wuxuu allabari u bixiyey ilaahyadii Dimishaq oo isaga wax ku dhuftay, oo wuxuu isyidhi, Ilaahyada boqorrada reer Suuriya way caawiyaan iyaga, sidaas daraaddeed allabari ayaan u bixinayaa si ay anigana ii caawiyaan. Laakiinse waxay isaga iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhanba u noqdeen wax ay ku dhacaan.
He offered sacrifices to the gods that were worshiped in Damascus, whose [army] had defeated his [army]. He thought, “The gods that are worshiped by the kings of Syria have helped them, so I will offer sacrifices to those gods in order that they will help me.” But worshiping those gods caused Ahaz and all of Israel to be ruined.
24 Markaasaa Aaxaas wuxuu soo wada urursaday weelashii guriga Ilaah oo wuu wada burburiyey weelashii guriga Ilaah, oo albaabbadii guriga Rabbigana wuu wada xidhay, oo isna wuxuu meelo allabari ka samaystay gees kasta oo Yeruusaalem.
Ahaz gathered all the furnishings [that were used] in the temple and broke them into pieces. He locked the doors of the temple and set up altars [for worshiping idols] at every street corner in Jerusalem.
25 Oo magaaloo kasta oo dalka Yahuudahna wuxuu ka dhisay meelo sarsare in foox loogu shido ilaahyo qalaad, oo wuxuu aad uga xanaajiyey Rabbigii ahaa Ilaahii awowayaashiis.
In every town in Judah, his workers built shrines to burn sacrifices to other gods, and that caused Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped], to be very angry.
26 Haddaba falimihiisii kale iyo jidadkiisii oo dhammu intii hore iyo intii dambeba waxay ku wada qoran yihiin kitaabkii boqorrada dalka Yahuudah iyo dalka Israa'iil.
A record of the other things that Ahaz did while he was the king, from when he started to rule until he died, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah and Israel’.
27 Markaasaa Aaxaas dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis, oo waxaa lagu aasay magaalada Yeruusaalem, waayo, isagii lama gelin qabuurihii boqorrada dalka Israa'iil; oo meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii Xisqiyaah.
Ahaz died and was buried in Jerusalem, but he was not buried in the tombs where the other kings [had been buried]. Then his son Hezekiah became the king.
