2 Mga Hari 16

1 Nang ikalabing pitong taon ni Peka na anak ni Remalias ay nagpasimulang maghari si Achaz na anak ni Jotham na hari sa Juda.

In the seventeenth year of Pekah, the son of Remaliah: Ahaz, the son of Jotham, reigned as king of Judah.

2 May dalawangpung taon si Achaz nang siya'y magpasimulang maghari; at siya'y nagharing labing anim na taon sa Jerusalem: at hindi siya gumawa ng matuwid sa harap ng mga mata ng Panginoon niyang Dios, na gaya ni David na kaniyang magulang.

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 Kundi siya'y lumakad ng lakad ng mga hari sa Israel, oo, at kaniyang pinaraan ang kaniyang anak sa apoy, ayon sa mga karumaldumal ng mga bansa na pinalayas ng Panginoon mula sa harap ng mga anak ni Israel.

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 At siya'y naghain, at nagsunog ng kamangyan sa mga mataas na dako, at sa mga burol, at sa ilalim ng bawa't sariwang punong kahoy.

Also, he was immolating victims, and burning incense, in the high places, and on the hills, and under every leafy tree.

5 Nang magkagayo'y si Resin na hari sa Siria at si Peka na anak ni Remalias na hari sa Israel ay umahon sa Jerusalem upang makipagdigma: at kanilang kinulong si Achaz, nguni't hindi nila nadaig.

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 Nang panahong yaon ay binawi ni Resin na hari sa Siria ang Elath sa Siria at pinalayas ang mga Judio sa Elath: at ang mga taga Siria ay nagsiparoon sa Elath, at tumanan doon, hanggang sa araw na ito.

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 Sa gayo'y nagsugo si Achaz ng mga sugo kay Tiglath-pileser na hari sa Asiria, na ipinasabi, Ako ang iyong lingkod at ang iyong anak: ikaw ay umahon, at iligtas mo ako sa kamay ng hari sa Siria at sa kamay ng hari sa Israel, na bumabangon laban sa akin.

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 At kinuha ni Achaz ang pilak at ginto na nasumpungan sa bahay ng Panginoon, at sa mga kayamanan ng bahay ng hari, at ipinadalang kaloob sa hari sa Asiria.

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 At dininig siya ng hari sa Asiria; at ang hari sa Asiria ay umahon laban sa Damasco, at sinakop, at dinala sa Cir ang bayan na bihag, at pinatay si Resin.

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 At ang haring si Achaz ay naparoon sa Damasco upang salubungin si Tiglath-pileser na hari sa Asiria: at nakita ang dambana na nasa Damasco: at ipinadala ng haring si Achaz kay Urias na saserdote ang ayos ng dambana at ang anyo niyaon, ayon sa buong pagkayari niyaon.

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 At si Urias na saserdote ay nagtayo ng isang dambana: ayon sa buong ipinadala ng haring si Achaz mula sa Damasco, gayon ginawa ni Urias na saserdote, bago dumating ang haring Achaz mula sa Damasco.

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 At nang dumating ang hari mula sa Damasco, ay nakita ng hari ang dambana: at ang hari ay lumapit sa dambana, at naghandog doon.

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 At kaniyang sinunog ang kaniyang handog na susunugin, at ang kaniyang handog na harina, at ibinuhos ang kaniyang inuming handog, at iniwisik ang dugo ng kaniyang mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan sa ibabaw ng dambana.

And he offered libations, and he poured out the blood of the peace offerings, which he had offered, upon the altar.

14 At ang dambana na tanso na nasa harap ng Panginoon ay kaniyang dinala mula sa harapan ng bahay, mula sa pagitan ng kaniyang dambana at ng bahay ng Panginoon, at inilagay sa dakong hilagaan ng kaniyang dambana.

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 At inutusan ng haring Achaz si Urias na saserdote, na sinasabi, Sa ibabaw ng malaking dambana, ay magsunog ka ng handog na susunugin sa umaga, at ng handog na harina sa hapon, at ng handog na susunugin ng hari at ng kaniyang handog na harina sangpu ng handog na susunugin ng buong bayan ng lupain at ng kanilang handog na harina, at ng kanilang mga handog na inumin; at iwisik mo roon ang buong dugo ng handog na susunugin, at ang buong dugo ng hain: nguni't ang dambanang tanso ay mapapasa akin upang pagusisaan.

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 Ganito ang ginawa ni Urias na saserdote, ayon sa buong iniutos ng haring Achaz.

And so Uriah, the priest, acted in accord with all that king Ahaz had instructed to him.

17 At pinutol ng haring Achaz ang mga hangganan ng mga tungtungan, at inalis sa mga yaon ang hugasan, at ibinaba ang dagatdagatan mula sa mga bakang tanso na nasa ilalim niyaon, at ipinatong sa isang pavimentong bato.

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 At ang dakong natatakpan na daan sa sabbath na kanilang itinayo sa bahay, at ang pasukan ng hari na nasa labas, ibinago sa bahay ng Panginoon, dahil sa hari sa Asiria.

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 Ang iba nga sa mga gawa ni Achaz na kaniyang ginawa, di ba nangasusulat sa aklat ng mga alaala sa mga hari sa Juda.

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 At si Achaz ay natulog na kasama ng kaniyang mga magulang, at inilibing na kasama ng kaniyang mga magulang sa bayan ni David: at si Ezechias na kaniyang anak ay naghari na kahalili niya.

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.
