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

¹Remalia Tapa Peka kum sawm leh kum sawm leh kum sagih a lal kumin Juda Kumpipa Jotham tapa Ahaz a lal pana.

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,

²Ahaz a lal pattungin kum sawmniha upa ahi; huan, Jerusalem ah kum sawm leh kum guk a lala. A pu David bangin TOUPA a Pathian mitmuhin thil hoih pipi a hih tei kei hi.

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.

³Israel kumpipate lampi tot a tawn teia, ahi, TOUPAN Israel suante maa a delh khiaksa namten thil kihhuai tak a hih jel bang un a tapa meiah a lutsak a.

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

⁴Huan, mun sangte, tangahte, sing hing chih nuaiah te a kithoiha, gimlim a hal sek a.

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.

⁵Huchiin Suria kumpipa Rezin, leh Israel kumpipa Remalia tapa Peka bel Jerusalem sual dingin a kuan tou ua; Ahaz a vaum ua, himahleh a zou theikei uh.

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.

⁶Huai laiin Suria kumpipa Rezinin Elath khua Suria gam dingin a la nawna, Judate Elath khua akipan a delh khia; huan, Suriatein Elath khua a valuah ua, tutanin a om lai uh.

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.

⁷Huchiin Ahazin Assuria kumpipa Tiglath-pilezer kiangah. Na sikha leh na tapa ka hi ka hia; kei honsual dinga hongkuan, Suria kumpipa khut akipan leh Israel kumpipa khuta kipan honhun khe dih ve, chiin mi a sawla.

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.

⁸Huan, Ahazia TOUPA ina dangka leh dangkaeng om peuhmah, kumpipa ina gou koihkhawmna toh a laa, Assuria kumpipa kiangah kipahman dingin a khaka.

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.

⁹Huan, Assuria kumpipan a thugen a na poma; huchiin Assuria kumpipan Damaska khua a vasuala, a laa, a mite Kir gamah salin a pi a, Rezin a that hi.

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.

¹⁰Huan, kumpipa Ahaz bel Assuria kumpipa Tiglath-pileser houpih dingin Damaska khuaah a hoha, Damaska khuaa maitam a vamu-a huchiin kumpipa Ahazin huai maitam lim leh a bawl dan bang geih uh enton dingin siampu Urija kiangah a khaka.

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.

¹¹Huan, siampu Urijain maitam a bawla; kumpipa Ahazia Damaska khua akipana a khak bang geihin siampu Urijain Damaska khua akipana Ahaza hongpai nawn a nabawl khin keuhkeuh a.

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

¹²Huan, Damaska khua akipan kumpipa a hongtun laiin maitam a mu a; huan, kumpipan maitam a naiha, a kah tou a.

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.

¹³Huan, maitamah a halmang thillat te halin a tangbuang thillat te a lana, a dawn ding thillat a sunga, a lemna thillat te sisan a theh hi.

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.

¹⁴Huan, TOUPA maa dal maitam, a maitam leh TOUPA in kikala, in majawna kipan a la suana a maitam mal lampangah a koih.

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].

¹⁵Huan, kumpipa Ahazin, Maitam lianpi ah jing lam halmang thillatte, nitak lam tangbuang thillat te, halmang thillat te, a tangbuang thillat te, I gam ua mipi tengteng halmang thillatte, atangbuang thillat te uh, a dawn ding thillat te utoh halin lan inla; huan, a tungah halmang thillat sisan tengteng leh, kithoihna sisan tengteng theh in; dal maitam bel kei houpihna ding ahi ding, chiin siampu Urija thu a pia hi.

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

¹⁶Huchiin siampu Urijain kumpipa Ahaz thupiak bangbangin a hihta hi.

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.

¹⁷Huan, kumpipa Ahazin tunna kuakte a hihsiaih, kisilna bel a koih tuama; a tunna dal bawngtal akipanin loh a la khiaa, suanglep tungah a tung a.

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.

¹⁸Huan, khawlni adinga tung nei lampi ina a bawl u leh in polama kumpipa jiakin TOUPA in dingin a kheng geiha.

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?

¹⁹Huchiin Ahaz thilhih tanchin dangte bel Juda kumpipate lal lai thu gelhna bu ah a tuang ahi kei maw?Huan, Ahaz bel a pi leh pute kiangah a ihmu a, a pi leh pute lakah David khopi ah a vuita uh; huan, a tapa Hezekia bel a sikin a lalta hi.

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.

²⁰Huan, Ahaz bel a pi leh pute kiangah a ihmu a, a pi leh pute lakah David khopi ah a vuita uh; huan, a tapa Hezekia bel a sikin a lalta hi.
