¹Ahaz was twenty years old 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, like David his father;

¹Aahas oli kuningaks saades kakskümmend aastat vana ja ta valitses Jeruusalemmas kuusteist aastat. Tema ei teinud, mis õige oli Issanda silmis, nõnda nagu tema isa Taavet,

²but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for the Baalim.

²vaid käis Iisraeli kuningate teedel ja tegi ka valatud kujusid baalidele.

³Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom Jehovah cast out before the children of Israel.

³Ja see oli tema, kes suitsutas Ben-Hinnomi orus ja laskis oma pojad käia läbi tule nende rahvaste jäledate tegude eeskujul, kelle Issand oli ära ajanud Iisraeli laste eest.

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

⁴Ta ohverdas ning suitsutas ohvrikünkail ja kõrgendikel ja iga halja puu all.

⁵Wherefore Jehovah his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away of his a great multitude of captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter.

⁵Ja Issand, tema Jumal, andis ta Süüria kuninga kätte; ja nad lõid teda ning võtsid temalt hulga vange ja viisid Damaskusesse. Ja ta anti ka Iisraeli kuninga kätte, kes valmistas temale suure kaotuse.

⁶For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah a hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all of them valiant men; because they had forsaken Jehovah, the God of their fathers.

⁶Pekah, Remalja poeg, tappis ühe päevaga Juudast sada kakskümmend tuhat, kõik vahvad mehed, sellepärast et nad olid hüljanud Issanda, oma vanemate Jumala.

⁷And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah that was next to the king.

⁷Ja Sikri, Efraimi kangelane, tappis Maaseja, kuninga poja, ja Asrikami, kojaülema, ja Elkana, kes oli kuningast järgmine.

⁸And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.

⁸Ja Iisraeli lapsed viisid oma vendadelt vangi naisi, poegi ja tütreid - kakssada tuhat, riisusid neilt ka palju saaki ja viisid saagi Samaariasse.

⁹But a prophet of Jehovah was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out to meet the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because Jehovah, the God of your fathers, was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage which hath reached up to heaven.

⁹Aga seal oli Issanda prohvet, Ooded nimi, ja tema läks vastu sõjaväele, kes oli teel Samaariasse, ja ütles neile: 'Vaata, Issand, teie vanemate Jumal, on vihastunud Juuda peale ja on andnud nad teie kätte. Ja teie olete neid tapnud niisuguse vihaga, mis ulatub taevani.

¹⁰And now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you: [but] are there not even with you trespasses of your own against Jehovah your God?

¹⁰Ja nüüd te mõtlete alistada Juuda ja Jeruusalemma lapsi endile sulaseiks ja teenijaiks. Kas pole ka teil endil süüd Issanda, teie Jumala ees?

¹¹Now hear me therefore, and send back the captives, that ye have taken captive of your brethren; for the fierce wrath of Jehovah is upon you.

¹¹Aga kuulge nüüd mind ja viige tagasi vangid, keda te olete võtnud oma vendadelt, muidu tabab teid Issanda tuline viha!'

¹²Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against them that came from the war,

¹²Siis tõusid mõned mehed efraimlaste peameestest: Asarja, Joohanani poeg, Berekja, Mesillemoti poeg, Hiskija, Sallumi poeg, ja Amaasa, Hadlai poeg, sõjast tulijaile vastu

¹³and said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither: for ye purpose that which will bring upon us a trespass against Jehovah, to add unto our sins and to our trespass; for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.

¹³ja ütlesid neile: 'Ärge tooge vange siia, sest te teete meid süüdlasteks Issanda ees, kui mõtlete lisa tuua meie pattudele ja süütegudele! Tõesti, meie süü on suur ja Iisraeli peal on tuline viha!'

¹⁴So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the assembly.

¹⁴Siis sõjamehed loobusid vangidest ja saagist vürstide ja terve koguduse ees.

¹⁵And the men that have been mentioned by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm-trees, unto their brethren: then they returned to Samaria.

¹⁵Ja nimeliselt nimetatud mehed tõusid ning võtsid vangid ja riietasid saagist võetuga kõik, kes neist olid alasti: nad andsid neile riided selga ja jalatsid jalga, söötsid ja jootsid neid, võidsid neid ja panid eeslite selga kõik, kes olid nõrgad, ja viisid need Jeerikosse, Palmidelinna, nende vendade juurde. Seejärel tulid nad Samaariasse tagasi.

¹⁶At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him.

¹⁶Selsamal ajal läkitas kuningas Aahas sõna Assuri kuningatele, et nad aitaksid teda.

¹⁷For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives.

¹⁷Sest ka edomlased tulid jälle ja lõid Juudat ning võtsid vange.

¹⁸The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland, and of the South of Judah, and had taken Beth-shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Soco with the towns thereof, and Timnah with the towns thereof, Gimzo also and the towns thereof: and they dwelt there.

¹⁸Ja vilistid tungisid Juuda madalmaa ja lõunamaa linnadesse ning vallutasid Beet-Semesi, Ajjaloni, Gederoti, Sooko ja selle tütarlinnad, Timna ja selle tütarlinnad, Gimso ja selle tütarlinnad, ja asusid neisse.

¹⁹For Jehovah brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he had dealt wantonly in Judah, and trespassed sore against Jehovah.

¹⁹Sest Issand alandas Juudat Iisraeli kuninga Aahase pärast, sellepärast et ta andis Juudamaal vaba voli korralagedusele ja oli truuduseta Issanda vastu.

²⁰And Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not.

²⁰Assuri kuningas Tiglat-Pileser aga tuli tema vastu ja kimbutas teda ega andnud temale toetust.

²¹For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of Jehovah, and out of the house of the king and of the princes, and gave it unto the king of Assyria: but it helped him not.

²¹Sest kuigi Aahas rüüstas Issanda koja ning kuninga ja vürstide kojad ja andis Assuri kuningale, ei olnud tal sellest abi.

²²And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against Jehovah, this same king Ahaz.

²²Aga isegi sel ajal, kui teda rõhuti, murdis ta üha truudust Issandale, seesama kuningas Aahas.

²³For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him; and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, [therefore] will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.

²³Siis ta ohverdas Damaskuse jumalatele, kes teda olid löönud, ja ütles: 'Kuna Süüria kuningate jumalad neid aitavad, siis ma ohverdan neile, et nad mindki aitaksid!' Aga need saidki komistuseks temale ja kogu Iisraelile.

²⁴And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of Jehovah; and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem.

²⁴Ja Aahas kogus kokku Jumala koja riistad ja raius katki Jumala koja riistad; ta sulges Issanda koja uksed ja tegi enesele altarid igasse Jeruusalemma nurka.

²⁵And in every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger Jehovah, the God of his fathers.

²⁵Ja ta tegi igasse Juuda linna ohvrikünkaid teistele jumalatele suitsutamiseks ning ärritas Issandat, oma vanemate Jumalat.

²⁶Now the rest of his acts, and all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

²⁶Aga tema muud lood ja kõik tema ettevõtted, varasemad ja hilisemad, vaata, need on kirja pandud Juuda ja Iisraeli Kuningate raamatus.

²⁷And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem; for they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.

²⁷Siis Aahas läks magama oma vanemate juurde ja ta maeti linna, Jeruusalemma, aga teda ei viidud Iisraeli kuningate hauda. Ja tema poeg Hiskija sai tema asemel kuningaks.
