¹In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign.

¹ Peka Remaliya izo mayra jiiri way cindi iyyanta ra no Yahuda bonkoono Ahaz Yotam izo te bonkooni.

²Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD his God, like David his father.

² Ahaz gonda jiiri waranka alwaato kaŋ a sintin ka may. A may mo jiiri way cindi iddu Urusalima ra. A mana te haŋ kaŋ ga saba Rabbi nga Irikoyo diyaŋ gaa danga mate kaŋ cine a kaayo Dawda te.

³But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel.

³ Amma a na Israyla bonkooney muraadey gana, hala mo a na nga izo daŋ danji ra, mebarawey fanta hari boŋ, ngey kaŋ yaŋ Rabbi gaaray Israyla izey jine.

⁴And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

⁴ A ga sargay dumbu ka dugu ton mo tudey boŋ sududuyaŋ nangey ra da tudey boŋ da tuuri kobtokoyey cire mo.

⁵Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him.

⁵ Alwaato din Suriya bonkoono Rezin da Israyla bonkoono Peka Remaliya izo kande wongu Urusalima gaa. I na Ahaz nda nga marga windi, amma i mongo k'a ŋwa.

⁶At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drave the Jews from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there unto this day.

⁶ Alwaato din mo no Suriya bonkoono Rezin ye ka Elat di Suriya mayra se ka Yahuda borey gaaray Elat ra. Suriyancey mo kaa Elat ka goro a ra hala ka kaa sohõ.

⁷So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglathpileser 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, which rise up against me.

⁷ Ahaz na diyayaŋ donton Assiriya bonkoono Tiglat-Pileser gaa ka ne: «Ay ya ni bannya no, ay ya ni ize mo no. Ma kaa k'ay faaba Suriya bonkoono da Israyla bonkoono kambe ra, kaŋ yaŋ margu ay gaa.»

⁸And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria.

⁸ Ahaz mo na nzarfu nda wura kaŋ i gar Rabbi windo ra, da bonkoono windo ra arzaka sambu. A n'i samba mo i ma ciya me-daabu Assiriya bonkoono se.

⁹And the king of Assyria hearkened unto him: for the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried the people of it captive to Kir, and slew Rezin.

⁹ Assiriya bonkoono mo maa a sanno. Assiriya bonkoono kaaru ka koy zama nga ma wongu nda Damaskos. A n'a ŋwa mo, k'a borey ku ka konda Cir ka daŋ tamtaray. A na Rezin wi mo.

¹⁰And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar that was at Damascus: and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship thereof.

¹⁰ Bonkoono Ahaz koy Damaskos zama nga ma Assiriya bonkoono Tiglat-Pileser kubay. A di sargay feema mo kaŋ go Damaskos kwaara ra. Bonkoono Ahaz na sargay feema din jeero d'a hima-cara samba Alfa Uriya se sargay feema goyo kulu boŋ.

¹¹And Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus: so Urijah the priest made it against king Ahaz came from Damascus.

¹¹ Alfa Uriya mo na sargay feema cina. Sanda mate kaŋ cine bonkoono Ahaz na hima-cara samba a ma fun Damaskos, yaadin cine no Uriya n'a te hala bonkoono Ahaz ga kaa ka fun Damaskos.

¹²And when the king was come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king approached to the altar, and offered thereon.

¹² Saaya kaŋ bonkoono ye ka kaa ka fun Damaskos, kal a di sargay feema. Bonkoono mo maan sargay feema do ka sargay te a boŋ.

¹³And he burnt his burnt offering and his meat offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, upon the altar.

¹³ Kal a na nga sargayey kaŋ i ga ton yaŋ ton, hala nda hamni wane kulu, ka haŋyaŋ sarga mo soogu. A na saabuyaŋ sarga kuro say-say nga sargay feema boŋ.

¹⁴And he brought also the brazen altar, which was before the LORD, from the forefront of the house, from between the altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of the altar.

¹⁴ Guuru-say sargay feema kaŋ go Rabbi jine mo, a n'a sambu k'a kaa fuwo jine haray nga sargay feema nda Rabbi fuwo game ra. A n'a yeti nga sargay feema se azawa kambe.

¹⁵And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and the king's burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the brazen altar shall be for me to enquire by.

¹⁵ Kala Bonkoono Ahaz na Alfa Uriya lordi ka ne a se: «Susubay sargay kaŋ i ga ton, ni m'a ton sargay feema beero boŋ, da wiciri kambu sarga kulu, hamni wane, hala nda tonyaŋ wane, da bonkoono wane, d'a hamni sarga, da laabo jama sargayey kaŋ i ga ton kulu care banda, d'i hamni sarga, d'i haŋyaŋ sarga. A boŋ koyne i ma sargay kaŋ i ga ton kuro kulu, da sargay kaŋ i ga no Irikoy se kuro kulu say-say. Amma guuru-say sargay feema ga ciya ay se hãayaŋ nangu do.»

¹⁶Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.

¹⁶ Yaadin no Alfa Uriya te haŋ kaŋ Bonkoono Ahaz n'a lordi nd'a kulu boŋ.

¹⁷And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them; and took down the sea from off the brazen oxen that were under it, and put it upon the pavement of stones.

¹⁷ Bonkoono Ahaz mo na jezey dumbu ganda jisiyaŋey gaa ka nyunayaŋ taasey ganandi i boŋ. A na bango mo zumandi guuru-say haw himandey boŋ kaŋ go noodin a cire. I na bango dake tondi cinari yaŋ boŋ.

¹⁸And the covert for the sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king's entry without, turned he from the house of the LORD for the king of Assyria.

¹⁸ Fonda mo kaŋ goono ga daabu asibti zaarey sabbay se, wo kaŋ i cina windo ra, da meyo kaŋ ga furo ka koy bonkoono windo do haray, a n'i kaa Rabbi windo ra, woodin kulu Assiriya bonkoono sabbay se.

¹⁹Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

¹⁹ Ahaz goy cindey mo kaŋ a te, manti i n'i hantum Yahuda bonkooney baaru tira ra bo?

²⁰And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.

²⁰ Ahaz kani nga kaayey banda. I n'a fiji nga kaayey banda Dawda birno ra no. A izo Hezeciya te bonkooni a nango ra.
