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,

²Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he didn’t do that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh 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 he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yes, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations, whom Yahweh cast out from before the children of Israel.

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

⁴He sacrificed and burnt incense in 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 king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome 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 lived 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!'

⁷So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your 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 rise up against me.”

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

⁸Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of Yahweh, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and sent it for 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.

⁹The king of Assyria listened to him; and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried its people captive to Kir, and killed Rezin.

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.

¹⁰King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, and saw the altar that was at Damascus; and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and its pattern, 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.

¹¹Urijah the priest built an altar: according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so Urijah the priest made it for the coming of king Ahaz from Damascus.

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

¹²When the king had come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king drew near to the altar, and offered on it.

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

¹³He burnt his burnt offering and his meal offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, on 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.

¹⁴The bronze altar, which was before Yahweh, he brought from the forefront of the house, from between his altar and the house of Yahweh, and put it on the north side of his altar.

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!'

¹⁵King Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, “On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meal offering, and the king’s burnt offering, and his meal offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meal offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice; but the bronze altar shall be for me to inquire by.”

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

¹⁶Urijah the priest did so, according to all that king Ahaz 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.

¹⁷King Ahaz cut off the panels of the bases, and removed the basin from off them, and took down the sea from off the bronze oxen that were under it, and put it on a pavement of stone.

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

¹⁸The covered way for the Sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king’s entry outside, turned he to the house of Yahweh, because of the king of Assyria.

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

¹⁹Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, aren’t they 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.

²⁰Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
