¹V sedemnajstem letu Pekaha, sinu Remalijevega, je zavladal Ahaz, sin Jotama, kralja Judovega.

¹In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah reigned hath Ahaz son of Jotham king of Judah.

²Dvajset let je bilo Ahazu, ko je zakraljeval, in vladal je šestnajst let v Jeruzalemu; in ni delal, kar bi bilo prav v očeh GOSPODA, Boga njegovega, kakor oče njegov David,

²A son of twenty years [is] Ahaz in his reigning, and sixteen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he hath not done that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah his God, like David his father,

³temuč hodil je po poti kraljev Izraelovih, celo sina svojega je daroval, da je šel skozi ogenj, po gnusobah poganov, ki jih je GOSPOD pregnal izpred sinov Izraelovih.

³and he walketh in the way of the kings of Israel, and also his son he hath caused to pass over into fire, according to the abominations of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel,

⁴In daroval je ter žgal kadilo na višavah in po hribih in pod vsakim zelenim drevesom.

⁴and he sacrificeth and maketh perfume in high places, and on the heights, and under every green tree.

⁵Tedaj pride Rezin, kralj sirski, in Pekah, sin Remalijev, kralj Izraelov, gori zoper Jeruzalem se vojskovat; in oblegali so Ahaza, pa ga niso mogli zmagati.

⁵Then doth Rezin king of Aram go up, and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel, to Jerusalem, to battle, and they lay siege to Ahaz, and they have not been able to fight.

⁶V tistem času je Rezin, kralj sirski, pridobil Elat nazaj Siriji, izgnavši Jude iz Elata; in Sirci so prišli v Elat in ondi prebivajo do današnjega dne.

⁶At that time hath Rezin king of Aram brought back Elath to Aram, and casteth out the Jews from Elath, and the Aramaeans have come in to Elath, and dwell there unto this day.

⁷Ahaz pa pošlje sporočnike k Tiglat-pileserju, kralju asirskemu, rekoč: Hlapec sem tvoj in tvoj sin; pridi gori in me reši iz roke sirskega kralja in iz roke kralja Izraelovega, ki sta se vzdignila zoper mene.

⁷And Ahaz sendeth messengers unto Tiglath-Pileser king of Asshur, saying, `Thy servant and thy son [am] I; come up and save me out of the hand of the king of Aram, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who are rising up against me.`

⁸In vzame Ahaz srebro in zlato, kar ga je bilo v hiši GOSPODOVI in v zakladih kraljeve hiše, ter pošlje darilo kralju asirskemu.

⁸And Ahaz taketh the silver and the gold that is found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the house of the king, and sendeth to the king of Asshur — a bribe.

⁹In kralj asirski mu je ugodil. In kralj asirski gre gori proti Damasku in ga zasede in prebivalce njegove odvede v Kir, Rezina pa umori.

⁹And hearken unto him doth the king of Asshur, and the king of Asshur goeth up unto Damascus, and seizeth it, and removeth [the people of] it to Kir, and Rezin he hath put to death.

¹⁰Nato gre kralj Ahaz v Damask naproti Tiglat-pileserju, kralju asirskemu. In ko vidi oltar, ki je bil v Damasku, pošlje kralj Ahaz duhovniku Uriju podobo in posnetek tistega oltarja, po vsem, kakor je bil narejen.

¹⁰And king Ahaz goeth to meet Tiglath-Pileser king of Asshur [at] Damascus, and seeth the altar that [is] in Damascus, and king Ahaz sendeth unto Urijah the priest the likeness of the altar, and its pattern, according to all its work,

¹¹In Urija duhovnik je napravil oltar; natančno po tem, kakor je bil sporočil kralj Ahaz iz Damaska, ga je izgotovil Urija duhovnik, preden je prišel kralj Ahaz iz Damaska.

¹¹and Urijah the priest buildeth the altar according to all that king Ahaz hath sent from Damascus; so did Urijah the priest till the coming in of king Ahaz from Damascus.

¹²In ko pride kralj iz Damaska in ogleda oltar, pristopi k njemu in daruje na njem.

¹²And the king cometh in from Damascus, and the king seeth the altar, and the king draweth near on the altar, and offereth on it,

¹³In zažge svojo žgalščino in jedilno daritev in izlije pitni dar in škropi kri svoje mirovne daritve po oltarju.

¹³and perfumeth his burnt-offering, and his present, and poureth out his libation, and sprinkleth the blood of the peace-offerings that he hath, on the altar.

¹⁴Bronasti oltar pa, ki je bil pred GOSPODOM, prenese s pročelja hiše, izmed svojega oltarja in hiše GOSPODOVE, in ga postavi na severni strani svojega oltarja.

¹⁴As to the altar of brass that [is] before Jehovah — he bringeth [it] near from the front of the house, from between the altar and the house of Jehovah, and putteth it on the side of the altar, northward.

¹⁵In kralj Ahaz zapove Uriju duhovniku, rekoč: Na velikem oltarju zažigaj jutranjo žgalno daritev in večerno jedilno daritev in kraljevo žgalno in jedilno daritev z žgalščino vsega ljudstva v deželi in njih jedilno daritev in pitne dari; in nanj škropi vso kri žgalne daritve in vso drugo žrtveno kri; a bronasti oltar naj ostane, da se posvetujem.

¹⁵And king Ahaz commandeth him — Urijah the priest — saying, `On the great altar perfume the burnt-offering of the morning, and the present of the evening, and the burnt-offering of the king, and his present, and the burnt-offering of all the people of the land, and their present, and their libations; and all the blood of the burnt-offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice, on it thou dost sprinkle, and the altar of brass is to me to inquire [by].`

¹⁶Tako je storil Urija duhovnik po vsem, kar je zapovedal kralj Ahaz.

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

¹⁷Kralj Ahaz je tudi dal odlomiti ploščine od stojal in vzeti umivalnike ž njih in sneti morje raz bronaste vole, ki so bili pod njim, in velel ga je postaviti na kamenita tla.

¹⁷And king Ahaz cutteth off the borders of the bases, and turneth aside from off them the laver, and the sea he hath taken down from off the brazen oxen that [are] under it, and putteth it on a pavement of stones.

¹⁸Tudi pokriti mostovž za sobote, ki so ga bili zgradili v hiši, in kraljev vhod zunaj, je prestavil pri hiši GOSPODOVI zaradi kralja asirskega.

¹⁸And the covered place for the sabbath that they built in the house, and the entrance of the king without, he turned [from] the house of Jehovah, because of the king of Asshur.

¹⁹Kar je pa več praviti o Ahazu, kar je storil, ni li zapisano v knjigi letopisov kraljev Judovih?In Ahaz je legel k očetom svojim, in pokopali so ga pri očetih njegovih v mestu Davidovem. In Ezekija, sin njegov, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.

¹⁹And the rest of the matters of Ahaz that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²⁰In Ahaz je legel k očetom svojim, in pokopali so ga pri očetih njegovih v mestu Davidovem. In Ezekija, sin njegov, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.

²⁰And Ahaz lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers, in the city of David, and reign doth Hezekiah his son in his stead.
