2 Chronicles 28
1 Ahasi sì jẹ́ ẹni ogún ọdún nígbà tí ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ ìjọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún mẹ́rìndínlógún. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí i Dafidi baba rẹ̀ kò sì ṣe ohun rere ní ojú Olúwa.
Ahaz was twenty when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years. He did not do what was right in the Lord's sight as his forefather David had.
2 Ó sì rìn ní ọ̀nà àwọn ọba Israẹli ó sì ṣe ère dídá fún ìsìn Baali
He followed the example of the kings of Israel, and also cast metal idols for worshiping the Baals.
3 Ó sì sun ẹbọ ní àfonífojì Hinnomu, ó sì sun àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ nínú iná, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ohun ìríra àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí Olúwa lé jáde níwájú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli
He burned sacrifices in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, and sacrificed his children in the fire, following the disgusting practices of the peoples the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.
4 Ó sì rú ẹbọ, ó sì sun tùràrí ní ibi gíga wọ́n nì lórí òkè kékeré àti lábẹ́ gbogbo igi tútù.
He presented sacrifices and burned incense offerings on the high places, on the mountain tops, and under every living tree.
5 Nítorí náà, Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ fi lé ọba Siria lọ́wọ́. Àwọn ará Siria sì pa á run, wọ́n sì kó púpọ̀ nínú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹlẹ́wọ̀n, wọ́n sì kó wọn wá sí Damasku. Ó sì tún fi lé ọwọ́ ọba Israẹli pẹ̀lú, ẹni tí ó kó wọn ní ìgbèkùn púpọ̀ tí ó sì pa wọ́n ní ìpakúpa.
As a result, the Lord his God let the king of Aram to conquer Ahaz. The Arameans attacked him and captured many of his people, taking them to Damascus. Ahaz was also defeated by the king of Israel in a massive attack.
6 Ní ọjọ́ kan Peka, ọmọ Remaliah, pa ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́fà àwọn ọmọ-ogun ní Juda nítorí Juda ti kọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run baba wọn sílẹ̀.
In just one day, Pekah, son of Remaliah, killed 120,000 fighting men in Judah, because they had abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers.
7 Sikri àti Efraimu alágbára sì pa Maaseiah ọmọ ọba, Aṣrikamu ìjòyè tí ó wà ní ìkáwọ́ ilé ọba, àti Elkana igbákejì ọba.
Zichri, a warrior from Ephraim, killed Maaseiah, the son of the king; Azrikam, the palace governor; and Elkanah, the king's second-in-command.
8 Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì kó ní ìgbèkùn lára àwọn arákùnrin wọn ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́wàá àwọn aya wọn, àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti obìnrin wọn sì tún kó ọ̀pọ̀ ìkógun, èyí tí wọn kó padà lọ sí Samaria.
The Israelites captured 200,000 of their “brothers”—women, sons, and daughters. They also took a great deal of plunder and brought it to Samaria.
9 Ṣùgbọ́n wòlíì Olúwa tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Odedi wà níbẹ̀, ó sì jáde lọ láti lọ pàdé ogun nígbà tí ó padà sí Samaria. Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Nítorí Olúwa, Ọlọ́run baba yín bínú sí Juda ó sì fi wọ́n lé yín lọ́wọ́. Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin pa wọ́n ní ìpa oró tí ó de òkè ọ̀run.
But a prophet of the Lord named Oded was there in Samaria, and he went out to meet the returning army. He told them, “It was because the Lord, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah that he allowed you to defeat them. But you have killed them with such fury that it has upset heaven.
10 Nísinsin yìí, ẹ̀yin ń pète láti mú ọkùnrin àti obìnrin Juda àti Jerusalẹmu ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹrú yín, ẹ̀yin kò ha jẹ̀bi Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, àní ẹ̀yin?
Now you're planning to turn these people from Judah and Jerusalem into slaves. But aren't you also guilty of sinning against the Lord your God?
11 Nísinsin yìí ẹ gbọ́ tèmi! Ẹ rán àwọn ìgbèkùn tí ẹ̀yin ti mú gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ẹlẹ́wọ̀n padà nítorí ìbínú kíkan Olúwa ń bẹ lórí yín.”
Listen to me! Return the prisoners you've taken from your brothers, the fierce anger of the Lord is falling upon you!”
12 Lẹ́yìn náà, díẹ̀ nínú àwọn olórí ní Efraimu, Asariah ọmọ Jehohanani, Berekiah ọmọ Meṣilemoti, Jehiskiah ọmọ Ṣallumu, àti Amasa ọmọ Hadlai, dìde sí àwọn tí o ti ogun náà bọ̀.
Some of the leaders of the people of Ephraim—Azariah, son of Jehohanan, Berechiah, son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah, son of Shallum, and Amasa, son of Hadlai—stood up in opposition against those returning from the war.
13 Wọn si wí pé, “Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ mú àwọn ẹlẹ́wọ̀n wá síbí,” “tàbí àwa ti jẹ̀bi níwájú Olúwa, ṣe ẹ̀yin ń gbèrò láti fi kún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àti ẹ̀bi wa ni: nítorí tí ẹ̀bi wa ti tóbi púpọ̀, ìbínú rẹ̀ kíkan sì wà lórí Israẹli.”
“Don't you bring those prisoners here!” they told them. “If you do you will only add to our sins and wrongdoing against the Lord. Our guilt is already great, and his fierce anger is falling upon Israel.”
14 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ológun tú àwọn ẹlẹ́wọ̀n àti ìkógun sílẹ̀ níwájú àwọn ìjòyè àti gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn.
So the armed men left the prisoners and the plunder before the leaders and all the people gathered there.
15 Àwọn ọkùnrin tí a pè pẹ̀lú orúkọ náà sì dìde, wọn sì mú àwọn ìgbèkùn náà, wọ́n sì fi ìkógun náà wọ̀ gbogbo àwọn tí ó wà ní ìhòhò nínú wọn, wọ́n sì wọ̀ wọ́n ní aṣọ, wọ́n sì bọ̀ wọ́n ní bàtà, wọ́n sì fún wọn ní oúnjẹ àti ohun mímu, wọ́n sì fi òróró kùn wọ́n ní ara, wọ́n sì kó gbogbo àwọn tí ó jẹ́ aláìlera nínú wọ́n sórí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì kó wọn padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn arákùnrin wọn ní Jeriko, ìlú ọ̀pẹ, wọ́n sì padà sí Samaria.
The men named above got up and took clothes from the plunder to those that had none, gave them sandals to wear, and food and drink, and put olive oil on their wounds. Those who couldn't walk any more they put on donkeys, and took them all to Jericho, the town of palms, to be close to the people of Judah.
16 Ní àkókò ìgbà náà, ọba Ahasi ránṣẹ́ sí ọba Asiria fún ìrànlọ́wọ́.
It was then that King Ahaz asked the king of Assyria for help.
17 Àwọn ará Edomu sì tún padà wá láti kọlu Juda kí wọn sì kó àwọn ẹlẹ́wọ̀n lọ.
The armies of Edom had once again invaded Judah and taken people prisoner,
18 Nígbà tí àwọn ará Filistini sì ti jagun ní ìlú pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ wọ́n nì àti síhà gúúsù Juda. Wọ́n ṣẹ́gun wọ́n sì gba Beti-Ṣemeṣi, Aijaloni àti Gederoti, àti Soko, Timna, a ri Gimiso, pẹ̀lú ìletò wọn.
while the Philistines had attacked the towns in the foothills and the Negev of Judah. They had captured and occupied Beth-shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, along with Soco, Timnah, and Gimzo and their villages.
19 Olúwa sì rẹ Juda sílẹ̀ nítorí Ahasi ọba Israẹli, nítorí ó sọ Juda di aláìní ìrànlọ́wọ́, ó sì ṣe ìrékọjá gidigidi sí Olúwa.
The Lord had brought Judah down because Ahaz, king of Israel, was out of control in Judah, sinning terribly against the Lord.
20 Tiglat-Pileseri ọba Asiria wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ó fún ní ìpọ́njú dípò ìrànlọ́wọ́.
So Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, came to Ahaz but attacked rather than helped him.
21 Ahasi mú díẹ̀ nínú ìní ilé Olúwa àti láti ilé ọba àti láti ọ̀dọ̀ ọba ó sì fi wọ́n fún ọba Asiria: ṣùgbọ́n èyí kò ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́.
Ahaz took what was valuable from the Lord's Temple, the king's palace, and from his officials and gave them to the king of Assyria as tribute. But it didn't help him.
22 Ní àkókò ìpọ́njú rẹ̀ ọba Ahasi sì di aláìṣòótọ́ sí Olúwa.
Even at this time when he was having so much trouble, King Ahaz sinned more and more against the Lord.
23 Ó sì rú ẹbọ sí òrìṣà àwọn Damasku, ẹni tí ó ṣẹ́gun wọn, nítorí ó rò wí pé, “Nítorí àwọn òrìṣà àwọn ọba Siria ti ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́ kí wọn kí ó bà lè ràn mí lọ́wọ́.” Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ni ìparun rẹ̀ àti ti gbogbo Israẹli.
He sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, whose army had defeated him, for he said to himself, “Since the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, I'll sacrifice to them so they can help me.” But this led to the ruin of Ahaz and of all Israel.
24 Ahasi sì kó gbogbo ohun èlò láti ilé Olúwa jọ ó sì kó wọn lọ. Ó sì ti ìlẹ̀kùn ilé Olúwa ó sì tẹ́ pẹpẹ fún ara rẹ̀ ní gbogbo igun Jerusalẹmu.
Ahaz took the sacred items from the Lord's Temple and smashed them to pieces. He barred the doors of the Lord's Temple and set up pagan altars on every corner in Jerusalem.
25 Ní gbogbo ìlú Juda ó sì kọ́ ibi gíga láti sun ẹbọ fún àwọn ọlọ́run mìíràn. Kí ó sì mú Olúwa, Ọlọ́run àwọn baba wọn bínú.
In every town throughout Judah he set up high places to make offerings to pagan gods, angering the Lord, the God of his forefathers.
26 Ìyókù iṣẹ́ ìjọba rẹ̀ àti gbogbo ọ̀nà rẹ̀, láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ títí dé òpin, ni a kọ sínú ìwé àwọn ọba Juda àti ti Israẹli.
The rest of what Ahaz did, from beginning to end, is written down in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
27 Ahasi sì sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀ a sì sin ín ní ìlú Jerusalẹmu ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò mú un wá sínú àwọn isà òkú àwọn ọba Israẹli. Hesekiah ọmọ rẹ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀.
Ahaz died, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem. They did not bury him in the tombs of the kings of Israel. Hezekiah his son took over as king.
