¹في السنة السابعة عشرة لفقح بن رمليا ملك آحاز بن يوثام ملك يهوذا.

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

²كان آحاز ابن عشرين سنة حين ملك. وملك ست عشرة سنة في اورشليم. ولم يعمل المستقيم في عيني الرب الهه كداود ابيه

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

³بل سار في طريق ملوك اسرائيل حتى انه عبّر ابنه في النار حسب ارجاس الامم الذين طردهم الرب من امام بني اسرائيل.

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 nations, whom Jehovah cast out from before the children of Israel.

⁴وذبح واوقد على المرتفعات وعلى التلال وتحت كل شجرة خضراء.

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

⁵حينئذ صعد رصين ملك ارام وفقح بن رمليا ملك اسرائيل الى اورشليم للمحاربة فحاصروا آحاز ولم يقدروا ان يغلبوه.

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.

⁶في ذلك الوقت ارجع رصين ملك ارام ايلة للاراميين وطرد اليهود من ايلة وجاء الاراميون الى ايلة واقاموا هناك الى هذا اليوم.

⁶At 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, unto this day.

⁷وارسل آحاز رسلا الى تغلث فلاسر ملك اشور قائلا. انا عبدك وابنك. اصعد وخلّصني من يد ملك ارام ومن يد ملك اسرائيل القائمين عليّ.

⁷So 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 rise up against me.

⁸فاخذ آحاز الفضة والذهب الموجودة في بيت الرب وفي خزائن بيت الملك وارسلها الى ملك اشور هدية.

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

⁹فسمع له ملك اشور وصعد ملك اشور الى دمشق واخذها وسباها الى قير وقتل رصين.

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

¹⁰وسار الملك آحاز للقاء تغلث فلاسر ملك اشور الى دمشق. ورأى المذبح الذي في دمشق. وارسل الملك آحاز الى اوريا الكاهن شبه المذبح وشكله حسب كل صناعته.

¹⁰And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and saw the 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.

¹¹فبنى اوريا الكاهن مذبحا حسب كل ما ارسل الملك آحاز من دمشق كذلك عمل اوريا الكاهن ريثما جاء الملك آحاز من دمشق.

¹¹And Urijah the priest built an altar: according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so did Urijah the priest make it against the coming of king Ahaz from Damascus.

¹²فلما قدم الملك من دمشق رأى الملك المذبح فتقدم الملك الى المذبح واصعد عليه

¹²And when the king was come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king drew near unto the altar, and offered thereon.

¹³واوقد محرقته وتقدمته وسكب سكيبه ورشّ دم ذبيحة السلامة التي له على المذبح.

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

¹⁴ومذبح النحاس الذي امام الرب قدّمه من امام البيت من بين المذبح وبيت الرب وجعله على جانب المذبح الشمالي.

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

¹⁵وأمر الملك آحاز اوريا الكاهن قائلا. على المذبح العظيم أوقد محرقة الصباح وتقدمة المساء ومحرقة الملك وتقدمته مع محرقة كل شعب الارض وتقدمتهم وسكائبهم ورشّ عليه كل دم محرقة وكل دم ذبيحة. ومذبح النحاس يكون لي للسؤال.

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

¹⁶فعمل اوريا الكاهن حسب كل ما امر به الملك آحاز.

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

¹⁷وقطع الملك آحاز اتراس القواعد ورفع عنها المرحضة وانزل البحر عن ثيران النحاس التي تحته وجعله على رصيف من حجارة.

¹⁷And king Ahaz cut off the panels 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 a pavement of stone.

¹⁸ورواق السبت الذي بنوه في البيت ومدخل الملك من خارج غيّره في بيت الرب من اجل ملك اشور.

¹⁸And the covered way for the sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king's entry without, turned he unto the house of Jehovah, because of the king of Assyria.

¹⁹وبقية امور آحاز التي عمل أما هي مكتوبة في سفر اخبار الايام لملوك يهوذا.

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?

²⁰ثم اضطجع آحاز مع آبائه ودفن مع آبائه في مدينة داود وملك حزقيا ابنه عوضا عنه

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.
