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,

¹Ahaz 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, like David his father,

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

²but walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and even made molten images for the Baals;

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.

³and he burned incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burned his sons in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

⁷And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah the second to the king.

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

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

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.

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

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

¹⁰And now ye think to subjugate the children of Judah and Jerusalem as your bondmen and bondwomen. Are there not with you, even with you, trespasses against Jehovah your God?

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

¹¹And now hear me, and send back the captives again, whom ye have taken captive of your brethren; for the fierce wrath of Jehovah is upon you.

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

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

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!'

¹³and said to them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither; because, for our guilt before Jehovah, ye think to increase our sins and our trespasses: for our trespass is great, and fierce wrath is upon Israel.

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

¹⁴Then the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation.

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.

¹⁵And the men that have been expressed 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 on asses, and brought them to Jericho the city of palm-trees, to their brethren. And they returned to Samaria.

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

¹⁶At that time king Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him.

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

¹⁷And again the Edomites came and smote Judah, and carried away captives.

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.

¹⁸And the Philistines invaded the cities of the lowland, and of the south of Judah, and took Beth-shemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Socho and its dependent villages, and Timnah and its dependent villages, and Guimzo and its dependent villages; and they dwelt there.

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

¹⁹For Jehovah humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he had made Judah lawless, and transgressed much against Jehovah.

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

²⁰And Tilgath-Pilneser king of Assyria came to him, and troubled him, and did not support him.

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

²¹For Ahaz stripped the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king and of the princes, and gave to the king of Assyria; but he was of no help to him.

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

²²And in the time of his trouble he transgressed yet more against Jehovah, this king Ahaz.

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.

²³And he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which had smitten him; and he said, Since the gods of the kings of Syria help them, I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.

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.

²⁴And Ahaz gathered the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and closed the doors of the house of Jehovah, and he made for himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem.

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

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

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

²⁶And 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.

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.

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