¹[Ny nanjakan'i Ahaza] Roa-polo taona Ahaza, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary enina ambin'ny folo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema; ary tsy mba nanao izay mahitsy eo imason'i Jehovah tahaka an'i Davida rainy izy,

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

²fa nandeha tamin'ny lalan'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely izy sady nanao sarin-javatra an-idina ho an'ireo Bala koa.

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

³Ary nandoro ditin-kazo manitra tao amin'ny lohasahan'ny taranak'i Hinoma koa izy, ary ny zanany dia nodorany tamin'ny afo, araka ny fahavetavetan'ny jentilisa izay noroahin'i Jehovah tsy ho eo anoloan'ny Zanak'isiraely.

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 Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.

⁴Ary namono zavatra hatao fanatitra izy sady nandoro ditin-kazo manitra teny amin'ny fitoerana avo koa sy teny an-tampon'ny havoana ary teny ambanin'ny hazo maitso rehetra.

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

⁵Koa dia natolotr'i Jehovah Andriamaniny ho eo an-tànan'ny mpanjakan'i Syria izy; dia namely azy ireo, ka betsaka no lasany ho babo ka nentiny tany Damaskosy. Ary natolony ho eo an-tànan'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely koa izy, dia namely mafy ka naharesy azy koa ireo.

⁵Therefore Yahweh his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they struck him, and carried away of his a great multitude of captives, and brought them to Damascus. He was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who struck him with a great slaughter.

⁶Fa Peka, zanak'i Remalia, nahafaty olona roa alina sy iray hetsy indray andro tamin'ny Joda, dia lehilahy mahery avokoa, noho ny nahafoizan'ireny an'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany.

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

⁷Ary Zikry, lehilahy mahery tamin'ny Efraima, namono an'i Mahaseia, zanaky ny mpanjaka, sy Azrikama, mpanapaka ny trano, ary Elkana, izay nanarakaraka ny mpanjaka.

⁷Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king’s son, and Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah who was next to the king.

⁸Ary ny Zanak'isiraely nahazo sambo-belona roa hetsy tamin'ireo havany, dia vehivavy sy zazalahy sy zazavavy, ary nahazo babo betsaka taminy koa izy, dia nentiny tany Samaria ireny.

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

⁹Ary nisy mpaminanin'i Jehovah tao, Odeda no anarany, izay nivoaka hitsena ny miaramila, raha nankany Samaria, izy ka nanao taminy hoe: He! ny nahatezeran'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razanareo, tamin'ny Joda no nanolorany azy ho eo an-tananareo, dia novonoinareo ireny tamin'ny fahatezerana manakatra ny lanitra.

⁹But a prophet of Yahweh was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria, and said to them, “Behold, because Yahweh, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah, he has delivered them into your hand, and you have slain them in a rage which has reached up to heaven.

¹⁰Ary ankehitriny ny taranak'i Joda sy Jerosalema dia kasainareo handevozina ho andevolahinareo sy ho andevovanivareo; ka moa ianareo ireo va tsy mba manan-keloka amin'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo koa?

¹⁰Now you purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondservants and bondmaids for yourselves. Aren’t there even with you trespasses of your own against Yahweh your God?

¹¹Ary ankehitriny mihainoa ahy, koa alefaso ny babo izay efa nentinareo avy tamin'ny rahalahinareo; fa mirehitra aminareo ny fahatezeran'i Jehovah.

¹¹Now hear me therefore, and send back the captives, that you have taken captive from your brothers; for the fierce wrath of Yahweh is on you.”

¹²Dia nitsangana ny loholona sasany avy amin'ny taranak'i Efraima, dia Azaria, zanak'i Johanana, sy Berekia, zanak'i Mesilemota, sy Jehizkia, zanak'i Saloma, ary Amasa, zanak'i Hadlay, ka nanohitra izay vao avy tany an-tafika

¹²Then some 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 those who came from the war,

¹³nanao taminy hoe: Tsy mahazo mampiditra ny babo eto ianareo; fa mikasa hanampy ny fahotantsika sy ny fahadisoantsika ianareo mba hahameloka antsika amin'i Jehovah; fa efa be ny fahadisoantsika, ka iharan'ny fahatezerana mirehitra ny Isiraely.

¹³and said to them, “You shall not bring in the captives here: for you purpose that which will bring on us a trespass against Yahweh, to add to our sins and to our trespass; for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.”

¹⁴Dia nalefan'ny miaramila teo anatrehan'ny mpanapaka sy ny fiangonana rehetra izay sambo-belona sy babo azony,

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

¹⁵ka ireo olona voalaza anarana ireo dia nitsangana ka naka ny sambo-belona, ary izay rehetra tsy nitafy no nampiakanjoiny tamin'ny zavatra nentiny; eny, nampiakanjoiny sy nokiraroiny izy ary nampihinaniny sy nampisotroiny ary nohosorany, sady nampitaingeniny boriky izay rehetra osaosa, ka nentiny tany Jeriko, tanàna be rofia, ho any amin'ny rahalahiny; dia niverina tany Samaria izy.[palma]

¹⁵The men who have been mentioned by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all who were naked among them, dressed them, gave them sandals, and gave them something to eat and to drink, anointed them, carried all the feeble of them on donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brothers. Then they returned to Samaria.

¹⁶famin'izany andro izany Ahaza mpanjaka naniraka tany amin'ny mpanjakan'i Asyria nangataka ny any hanampy azy.

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

¹⁷Fa ny Edomita dia tonga indray ka namely ny Joda ary namabo azy.

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

¹⁸Ary ny Filistina koa nanafika ny tanàna eny amin'ny tany lemaka amoron-tsiraka sy eny amin'ny tany atsimo momba an'i Joda, dia nahafaka an'i Beti-semesy sy Aialona sy Gederota sy Soko mbamin'ny zana-bohiny ary Timna sy ny zana-bohiny ary Gimzo koa sy ny zana-bohiny; ary nonina tao izy.[Heb. sefela]

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 its towns, and Timnah with its towns, Gimzo also and its towns: and they lived there.

¹⁹Fa Jehovah nampietry ny Joda noho Ahaza, mpanjakan'ny Isiraely, satria Ahaza efa nanaram-po nanao ratsy teo amin'ny Joda ka nivadika tamin'i Jehovah.

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

²⁰Ary Tiglato-pilesera, mpanjakan'i Asyria, tonga tao aminy, nefa nampahory azy fa tsy nampahery azy.

²⁰Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria came to him, and distressed him, but didn’t strengthen him.

²¹Fa efa nalain'i Ahaza ny zavatra tao an-tranon'i Jehovah sy tao an-tranon'ny mpanjaka sy ny an'ny mpanapaka, ary efa nomeny ny mpanjakan'i Asyria, nefa tsy nahasoa azy akory izany.

²¹For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of Yahweh, and out of the house of the king and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria: but it didn’t help him.

²²Ary tamin'ny andro nampahoriana azy dia mbola nanao izay nahadiso amin'i Jehovah ihany io Ahaza mpanjaka io.

²²In the time of his distress, he trespassed yet more against Yahweh, this same king Ahaz.

²³Ary namono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an'ireo andriamanitr'i Damaskosy, izay namely azy, izy ka nanao hoe: Ireo andriamanitry ny mpanjakan'i Asyria, izay nanampy azy, no hamonoako zavatra hatao fanatitra mba hanampiany ahy. Kanjo tonga fandravana azy sy ny Isiraely rehetra ireo.

²³For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which struck him; and he said, “Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, so I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me.” But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.

²⁴Ary Ahaza nanangona ny fanaky ny tranon'Andriamanitra ka namakivaky azy ary nandrindrina ny varavaran'ny tranon'i Jehovah sady nanao alitara teny amin'ny zoron-dalana rehetra tany Jerosalema.

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

²⁵Ary teny amin'ny tanànan'ny Joda rehetra dia nanaovany fitoerana avo handoroana ditin-kazo manitra ho an'ny andriamani-kafa, ka dia nahatezitra an'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, izy.

²⁵In every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked to anger Yahweh, the God of his fathers.

²⁶Ary ny tantarany sisa sy ny fanaony rehetra, na ny voalohany na ny farany, indreo, efa voasoratra ao amin'ny bokin'ny mpanjakan'ny Joda sy ny Isiraely izany.Ary Ahaza lasa nodi-mandry any amin'ny razany, dia nalevina tao an-tanàna Jerosalema izy, fa tsy mba natao tao amin'ny fasan'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely. Ary Hezekia zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.

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.

²⁷Ary Ahaza lasa nodi-mandry any amin'ny razany, dia nalevina tao an-tanàna Jerosalema izy, fa tsy mba natao tao amin'ny fasan'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely. Ary Hezekia zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.

²⁷Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem; for they didn’t bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
