Fiawo 2 16

1 Le Peka, Remalia ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuiadrelia me la, Ahaz, Yotam ƒe vi, zu fia le Yuda.

In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, Ahaz the son of Jotham, king of Judah, began to reign.

2 Ahaz xɔ ƒe blaeve esi wòzu fia eye wòɖu fia le Yerusalem ƒe wuiade. Mewɔ nu si dzɔ le Yehowa, eƒe Mawu la ŋkume abe ale si tɔgbuia, Fia David wɔ ene o.

Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And he did not what was right in the sight of Jehovah his God, like David his father,

3 Eto Israel fiawo ƒe ʋeme eye wòtsɔ Via ŋutsu gɔ̃ hã wɔ dzovɔsa eye wòdze ŋunyɔnu siwo ke dukɔ siwo Yehowa nya le Israelviwo ŋgɔ la yome.

but walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and even caused his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel.

4 Esaa vɔ eye wòdoa dzudzɔ hã le nuxeƒewo le toawo dzi kple le vɔsamlekpui geɖe siwo le atiwo te la dzi.

And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

5 Siria fia Rezin kple Israel fia Peka, Remalia ƒe vi ho aʋa ɖe Ahaz ŋu eye woɖe to ɖe Yerusalem, ke womete ŋu ɖu edzi o.

Then Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah son of Remaliah, the king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to battle; and they besieged Ahaz, but were unable to conquer him.

6 Le ɣe ma ɣi la, Siria fia Rezin gbugbɔ Siria du si nye Elat la xɔ. Enya Yudatɔwo le dua me eye wòna Edomtɔwo yi ɖanɔ afi ma; wogale Elat va se ɖe egbe.

At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drove the Jews from Elath; and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there to this day.

7 Fia Ahaz ɖo du ɖe Asiria fia, Tiglat Pilser eye wòɖe kuku nɛ be, “Wò subɔlawo kple viwòwoe míenye, meɖe kuku, va nàɖem tso Aram fia kple Israel fia, ame siwo tso ɖe ŋunye la ƒe asi me.”

And Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria, saying, I am thy servant and thy son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who have risen up against me.

8 Ahaz tsɔ klosalo kple sika si le gbedoxɔ la kple fiasã la ƒe nudzraɖoƒewo me la ɖo ɖe Asiria fia la abe nunana ene.

And Ahaz took the silver and the gold that was found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent it [as] a present to the king of Assyria.

9 Ale Asiriatɔwo dze Damasko, Siria ƒe fiadu dzi, woɖe aboyo dua me tɔwo yi ɖada ɖe Kir eye wowu Siria fia Rezin.

And the king of Assyria hearkened to him; and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried it captive to Kir, and put Rezin to death.

10 Azɔ la, Fia Ahaz yi Damasko be yeawɔ takpekpe kple Asiria fia Tigat Pilser. Ekpɔ vɔsamlekpui aɖe le Damasko. Eŋlɔ vɔsamlekpui la ƒe dzidzemewo da ɖi, ta vɔsamlekpui la, ɖɔe tsitotsito ɖo ɖe nunɔla Uria.

And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria; and he saw the altar that was at Damascus, and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the form of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all its workmanship.

11 Ale nunɔla Uria tu vɔsamlekpui aɖe, wòsɔ ɖe tata si Fia Ahaz tsɔ ɖo ɖa tso Damasko la dzi eye wòwu enu hafi Fia Ahaz gbɔ.

And Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus; thus Urijah the priest made [it], against king Ahaz came from Damascus.

12 Esi fia la gbɔ tso Damasko eye wòkpɔ vɔsamlekpuia la, ete ɖe eŋu eye wòsa vɔwo le edzi.

And when the king came from Damascus, the king saw the altar; and the king approached to the altar, and offered upon it.

13 Fia la sa numevɔ kple nuɖuvɔ, kɔ nunovɔ ɖe edzi eye wòhlẽ ŋutifafavɔsa ƒe ʋu ɖe edzi.

And he burned his burnt-offering and his oblation, and poured out his drink-offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace-offering upon the altar.

14 Etsɔ akɔblivɔsamlekpui si nɔ gbedoxɔ la ŋgɔ, le gbedoxɔ la ƒe mɔnu kple vɔsamlekpui yeye la dome la yi ɖada ɖe vɔsamlekpui yeye la ƒe axadzi le anyiehe lɔƒo.

And the brazen altar which was before Jehovah, he brought forward from the forefront of the house, from between [his] altar and the house of Jehovah, and put it by the side of [his] altar on the north.

15 Fia Ahaz gblɔ na nunɔla Uria be wòawɔ vɔsamlekpui yeye la ŋu dɔ le numevɔwo, fiẽnuɖuvɔwo, fia ƒe numevɔwo kple nuɖuvɔwo kple ameawo ƒe vɔsawo kple woƒe nunovɔwo sasa me. Wòatsɔ numevɔsawo kple akpedavɔsawo ƒe ʋu ahlẽ ɖe vɔsamlekpui yeye la ŋu, ke ye ŋutɔ yeawɔ akɔblivɔsamlekpui xoxo la ŋu dɔ hena nukaka ko.

And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt-offering, and the evening oblation, and the king's burnt-offering, and his oblation, and the burnt-offering of all the people of the land, and their oblation, and their drink-offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt-offerings, and all the blood of the sacrifices; and the brazen altar shall be for me to inquire [by].

16 Nunɔla Uria, wɔ fia Ahaz ƒe ɖoɖowo dzi pɛpɛpɛ.

And Urijah the priest did according to all that king Ahaz had commanded.

17 Fia Ahaz ɖe nyinɔ siwo dzi nuwo nɔ le gbedoxɔ la me ɖe ga siwo wotsɔ tso gae ɖe wo nɔewo dzi kple gazɔ gã si nɔ akɔblinyiawo dzi la da ɖe kpui la dzi.

And king Ahaz cut off the panels of the bases, and removed the lavers from off them; and took down the sea from off the brazen oxen that were under it, and put it upon a stone pavement.

18 Le bubudede Asiria fia ŋu ta la, Israel fia na woɖe Dzudzɔgbe ƒe agbadɔ si le gbedoxɔa me la ɖa eye wòna woɖe mɔnu tɔxɛ si fiawo tona gena ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la hã ɖa.

And the covered way of the sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king's entry outside, he turned from the house of Jehovah on account of the king of Assyria.

19 Woŋlɔ Fia Ahaz ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛawo kple nu siwo wòwɔ la ɖe Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.

And the rest of the acts of Ahaz, what he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

20 Esi Ahaz ku la, woɖii ɖe fiawo ƒe ameɖibɔ le David ƒe du la me. Ke via Hezekia zu fia ɖe eteƒe.

And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
