Aaxaas, Boqorkii Yahuudah

16 Feqax ina Remalyaah sannaddiisii toddoba iyo tobnaad ayaa Aaxaas ina Yootam boqor ka noqday dalka Yahuudah. 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 Ilaahiisa ah hortiisa ku qumman. Laakiinse wuxuu ku socday jidkii boqorrada dalka Israa'iil; oo weliba wiilkiisii ayuu dab dhex mariyey sidii ay ahayd karaahiyadii quruumihii Rabbigu ka eryay reer binu Israa'iil hortooda. Oo isna wuxuu ku allabaryi jiray, fooxna ku shidi jiray meelihii sarsare, iyo buuraha dushooda, iyo geed kastoo dheer oo doog ah hoostiisaba. Markaasaa waxaa Yeruusaalem ku soo kacay Resiin oo ahaa boqorkii Suuriya iyo Feqax ina Remalyaah oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Israa'iil inay la diriraan; wayna hareereeyeen Aaxaas, laakiinse way ka adkaan kari waayeen. Oo waagaas Resiin oo ahaa boqorkii reer Suuriya wuxuu Suuriya u soo celiyey Eelad, oo Yuhuuddiina wuu ka eryay Eelad, markaasay reer Suuriya Eelad yimaadeen, oo ilaa maantana way deggan yihiin. Sidaas daraaddeed Aaxaas wuxuu farriin u diray Tiglad Fileser oo ahaa boqorkii Ashuur, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Anigu waxaan ahay addoonkaagii iyo wiilkaagiiba, haddaba ii kaalay oo iga badbaadi boqorka Suuriya iyo boqorka dalka Israa'iil kuwaas oo igu kacay. Oo Aaxaas wuxuu qaaday lacagtii iyo dahabkii laga helay gurigii Rabbiga iyo khasnadihii gurigii boqorkaba, oo wuxuu hadiyad ahaan ugu diray boqorkii Ashuur. Oo boqorkii Ashuurna wuu maqlay; markaasaa boqorkii Ashuur Dimishaq ku kacay oo qabsaday, oo dadkiina maxaabiis ahaan buu Qiir ugu kaxaystay, oo Resiinna wuu dilay. 10 Oo Boqor Aaxaasna wuxuu Dimishaq u tegey inuu Tiglad Fileser oo ahaa boqorkii Ashuur la kulmo, oo wuxuu arkay meeshii allabariga ee Dimishaq ku tiil; markaasaa Boqor Aaxaas wuxuu wadaadkii Uuriyaah ahaa u diray tilmaantii meeshii allabariga siday u ekayd iyo siduu hanaankeedu ahaa iyo sidii loo sameeyey oo dhan. 11 Markaasaa wadaadkii Uuriyaah ahaa u dhisay meel allabari sidii Boqor Aaxaas Dimishaq ka soo diray oo kale, oo wadaadkii Uuriyaah ahaa taas buu sameeyey intuusan Boqor Aaxaas Dimishaq ka iman. 12 Oo markuu boqorkii Dimishaq ka yimid wuxuu arkay meeshii allabariga, markaasuu u dhowaaday meeshii allabariga oo wax buu ku dul bixiyey. 13 Oo wuxuu meeshii allabariga ku dul gubay qurbaankiisii la gubi jiray iyo qurbaankiisii hadhuudhka ahaa, oo qurbaankiisii cabniinka wuu ku dul shubay, oo wuxuu ku saydhsaydhay dhiiggii qurbaannadiisii nabaadiinada. 14 Oo meeshii allabariga ee naxaasta ahayd oo Rabbiga hor tiilna wuu ka soo qaaday guriga hortiisii iyo meeshii u dhexaysay meeshiisa allabariga iyo gurigii Rabbiga, oo wuxuu dhigay meeshiisii allabariga dhinaceeda woqooyi. 15 Oo Boqor Aaxaas wuxuu amray wadaadkii Uuriyaah ahaa, oo ku yidhi, Meesha allabariga oo weyn waxaad dusheeda ku gubtaa qurbaanka la gubo oo subaxda, iyo qurbaanka hadhuudhka ah oo fiidnimada, iyo qurbaanka la gubo ee boqorka, iyo qurbaankiisa hadhuudhka ah, iyo qurbaanka la gubo oo dadka dalka deggan oo dhan, iyo qurbaankooda hadhuudhka ah, iyo qurbaannadooda cabniinka; oo dhiigga qurbaanka la gubo oo dhanna dusheeda ku saydhsaydh, iyo dhiigga allabariga; laakiinse meesha allabariga ee naxaasta ahu ha ahaato mid aan wax ku weyddiisto. 16 Haddaba wadaadkii Uuriyaah ahaa sidaasuu u wada yeelay wixii Boqor Aaxaas ku amray oo dhan. 17 Oo Boqor Aaxaasna wuxuu jaray saldhigyadii darfahoodii, oo berkeddii weysadana wuu ka kor qaaday, oo berkeddii naxaasta ahaydna wuu ka dejiyey dibidii hoosteeda ku jirtay, oo wuxuu saaray meel sallax ah. 18 Oo boqorkii Ashuur aawadiis ayuu gurigii Rabbiga ugu soo beddelay meeshii daboolnayd ee sabtida ee guriga looga dhex dhisay iyo meeshii boqorku ka soo geli jirayba. 19 Haddaba Aaxaas falimihiisii kale ee uu sameeyey sow kuma qorna kitaabkii taariikhda boqorradii dalka Yahuudah? 20 Markaasaa Aaxaas dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis, oo waxaa awowayaashiis lagula aasay magaaladii Daa'uud; meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii Xisqiyaah.

Ahaz King of Judah(A)

16 In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah, Ahaz(B) son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign. Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. Unlike David his father, he did not do what was right(C) in the eyes of the Lord his God. He followed the ways of the kings of Israel(D) and even sacrificed his son(E) in the fire, engaging in the detestable(F) practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites. He offered sacrifices and burned incense(G) at the high places, on the hilltops and under every spreading tree.(H)

Then Rezin(I) king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel marched up to fight against Jerusalem and besieged Ahaz, but they could not overpower him. At that time, Rezin(J) king of Aram recovered Elath(K) for Aram by driving out the people of Judah. Edomites then moved into Elath and have lived there to this day.

Ahaz sent messengers to say to Tiglath-Pileser(L) king of Assyria, “I am your servant and vassal. Come up and save(M) me out of the hand of the king of Aram and of the king of Israel, who are attacking me.” And Ahaz took the silver and gold found in the temple of the Lord and in the treasuries of the royal palace and sent it as a gift(N) to the king of Assyria. The king of Assyria complied by attacking Damascus(O) and capturing it. He deported its inhabitants to Kir(P) and put Rezin to death.

10 Then King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria. He saw an altar in Damascus and sent to Uriah(Q) the priest a sketch of the altar, with detailed plans for its construction. 11 So Uriah the priest built an altar in accordance with all the plans that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus and finished it before King Ahaz returned. 12 When the king came back from Damascus and saw the altar, he approached it and presented offerings[a](R) on it. 13 He offered up his burnt offering(S) and grain offering,(T) poured out his drink offering,(U) and splashed the blood of his fellowship offerings(V) against the altar. 14 As for the bronze altar(W) that stood before the Lord, he brought it from the front of the temple—from between the new altar and the temple of the Lord—and put it on the north side of the new altar.

15 King Ahaz then gave these orders to Uriah the priest: “On the large new altar, offer the morning(X) burnt offering and the evening grain offering, the king’s burnt offering and his grain offering, and the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their grain offering and their drink offering. Splash against this altar the blood of all the burnt offerings and sacrifices. But I will use the bronze altar for seeking guidance.”(Y) 16 And Uriah the priest did just as King Ahaz had ordered.

17 King Ahaz cut off the side panels and removed the basins from the movable stands. He removed the Sea from the bronze bulls that supported it and set it on a stone base.(Z) 18 He took away the Sabbath canopy[b] that had been built at the temple and removed the royal entryway outside the temple of the Lord, in deference to the king of Assyria.(AA)

19 As for the other events of the reign of Ahaz, and what he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 20 Ahaz rested(AB) with his ancestors and was buried with them in the City of David. And Hezekiah his son succeeded him as king.
