¹Pekahi, Remalja poja seitsmeteistkümnendal aastal sai kuningaks Aahas, Juuda kuninga Jootami poeg.

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

²Aahas oli kuningaks saades kakskümmend aastat vana ja ta valitses Jeruusalemmas kuusteist aastat. Tema ei teinud, mis õige oli Issanda, tema Jumala silmis, nõnda nagu tema isa Taavet,

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,

³vaid käis Iisraeli kuningate teed ja laskis isegi oma poja käia läbi tule nende rahvaste jäledate tegude eeskujul, keda Issand oli ära ajanud Iisraeli laste eest.

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.

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.

⁵Siis tulid Süüria kuningas Retsin ja Iisraeli kuningas Pekah, Remalja poeg, sõdima Jeruusalemma vastu; ja nad piirasid Aahast, aga ei suutnud teda võita.

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.

⁶Sel ajal võttis Süüria kuningas Retsin Süüriale tagasi Eelati ja ajas juudalased Eelatist välja ja süürlased tulid Eelatisse ning elavad seal tänapäevani.

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.

⁷Aga Aahas läkitas käskjalad ütlema Assuri kuningale Tiglat-Pileserile: 'Mina olen su sulane ja su poeg. Tule ja päästa mind Süüria kuninga ja Iisraeli kuninga käest, kes mulle kallale kipuvad!'

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.

⁸Ja Aahas võttis hõbeda ja kulla, mis leidus Issanda kojas ja kuningakoja varanduste hulgas, ning läkitas meeleheaks Assuri kuningale.

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.

⁹Ja Assuri kuningas kuulas teda; ja Assuri kuningas tuli Damaskuse vastu ning vallutas selle, viis rahva asumisele Kiiri ja surmas Retsini.

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.

¹⁰Kui kuningas Aahas läks Damaskusesse kohtama Assuri kuningat Tiglat-Pileserit, siis ta nägi Damaskuses olevat altarit ja kuningas Aahas saatis preester Uurijale altari kuju ja tegumoe, nii nagu see oli tehtud.

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.

¹¹Ja preester Uurija ehitas altari täpselt selle eeskuju järgi, mille kuningas Aahas oli läkitanud Damaskusest; nõnda valmistas preester Uurija selle enne, kui kuningas Aahas jõudis Damaskusest tagasi.

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.

¹²Ja kui kuningas tuli Damaskusest ja nägi altarit, siis ta astus altari juurde ja ohverdas selle peal.

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

¹³Ta süütas põlema oma põletus- ja roaohvri, valas joogiohvri ja piserdas altari peale oma tänuohvri vere.

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.

¹⁴Aga Issanda ees oleva vaskaltari kõrvaldas ta koja eest, uue altari ja Issanda koja vahelt, ja pani selle uue altari kõrvale põhja poole.

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.

¹⁵Ja kuningas Aahas andis preester Uurijale käsu, öeldes: 'Süüta suurel altaril hommikune põletusohver ja õhtune roaohver ning kogu maa rahva põletusohver ja nende roaohver ja joogiohvrid; ja piserda selle peale kogu põletusohvri veri ja kogu tapaohvri veri; aga vaskaltari osas ma veel mõtlen!'

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].

¹⁶Ja preester Uurija tegi kõik nõnda, nagu kuningas Aahas käskis.

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

¹⁷Ja kuningas Aahas raius ära aluste toed ning kõrvaldas pesunõu nende pealt; ja ta tõstis vaskmere vaskhärgade pealt, mis olid selle all, ja pani selle kivipõrandale.

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.

¹⁸Ja hingamispäeva kaetud käigu, mis oli ehitatud koja külge, ja kuninga välimise sissekäigu pööras ta Issanda koja poole Assuri kuninga pärast.

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.

¹⁹Ja mis veel tuleks öelda Aahasest, mis ta tegi, eks sellest ole kirjutatud Juuda kuningate Ajaraamatus?

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?

²⁰Ja Aahas läks magama oma vanemate juurde ja ta maeti oma vanemate juurde Taaveti linna; ja tema poeg Hiskija sai tema asemel kuningaks.

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.
