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

²Ahaz 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,

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

³but 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.

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

⁴And he sacrificed and burned incense on 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 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.

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 to 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.

⁷And 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.

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

⁸And 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.

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

⁹And 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.

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 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.

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; thus Urijah the priest made [it], against king Ahaz came from Damascus.

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

¹²And when the king came from Damascus, the king saw the altar; and the king approached to the altar, and offered upon it.

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

¹³And 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.

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 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.

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 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].

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

¹⁶And Urijah the priest did according to all that king Ahaz had 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 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.

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

¹⁸And 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.

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

¹⁹And 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?

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.
