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

¹Remalia Tapa Peka kum sawm leh kum sawm leh kum sagih a lal kumin Juda Kumpipa Jotham tapa Ahaz a lal pana.

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.

²Ahaz a lal pattungin kum sawmniha upa ahi; huan, Jerusalem ah kum sawm leh kum guk a lala. A pu David bangin TOUPA a Pathian mitmuhin thil hoih pipi a hih tei kei hi.

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.

³Israel kumpipate lampi tot a tawn teia, ahi, TOUPAN Israel suante maa a delh khiaksa namten thil kihhuai tak a hih jel bang un a tapa meiah a lutsak a.

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

⁴Huan, mun sangte, tangahte, sing hing chih nuaiah te a kithoiha, gimlim a hal sek a.

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.

⁵Huchiin Suria kumpipa Rezin, leh Israel kumpipa Remalia tapa Peka bel Jerusalem sual dingin a kuan tou ua; Ahaz a vaum ua, himahleh a zou theikei uh.

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.

⁶Huai laiin Suria kumpipa Rezinin Elath khua Suria gam dingin a la nawna, Judate Elath khua akipan a delh khia; huan, Suriatein Elath khua a valuah ua, tutanin a om lai uh.

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.”

⁷Huchiin Ahazin Assuria kumpipa Tiglath-pilezer kiangah. Na sikha leh na tapa ka hi ka hia; kei honsual dinga hongkuan, Suria kumpipa khut akipan leh Israel kumpipa khuta kipan honhun khe dih ve, chiin mi a sawla.

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.

⁸Huan, Ahazia TOUPA ina dangka leh dangkaeng om peuhmah, kumpipa ina gou koihkhawmna toh a laa, Assuria kumpipa kiangah kipahman dingin a khaka.

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.

⁹Huan, Assuria kumpipan a thugen a na poma; huchiin Assuria kumpipan Damaska khua a vasuala, a laa, a mite Kir gamah salin a pi a, Rezin a that hi.

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.

¹⁰Huan, kumpipa Ahaz bel Assuria kumpipa Tiglath-pileser houpih dingin Damaska khuaah a hoha, Damaska khuaa maitam a vamu-a huchiin kumpipa Ahazin huai maitam lim leh a bawl dan bang geih uh enton dingin siampu Urija kiangah a khaka.

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.

¹¹Huan, siampu Urijain maitam a bawla; kumpipa Ahazia Damaska khua akipana a khak bang geihin siampu Urijain Damaska khua akipana Ahaza hongpai nawn a nabawl khin keuhkeuh a.

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

¹²Huan, Damaska khua akipan kumpipa a hongtun laiin maitam a mu a; huan, kumpipan maitam a naiha, a kah tou a.

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.

¹³Huan, maitamah a halmang thillat te halin a tangbuang thillat te a lana, a dawn ding thillat a sunga, a lemna thillat te sisan a theh hi.

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.

¹⁴Huan, TOUPA maa dal maitam, a maitam leh TOUPA in kikala, in majawna kipan a la suana a maitam mal lampangah a koih.

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.”

¹⁵Huan, kumpipa Ahazin, Maitam lianpi ah jing lam halmang thillatte, nitak lam tangbuang thillat te, halmang thillat te, a tangbuang thillat te, I gam ua mipi tengteng halmang thillatte, atangbuang thillat te uh, a dawn ding thillat te utoh halin lan inla; huan, a tungah halmang thillat sisan tengteng leh, kithoihna sisan tengteng theh in; dal maitam bel kei houpihna ding ahi ding, chiin siampu Urija thu a pia hi.

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

¹⁶Huchiin siampu Urijain kumpipa Ahaz thupiak bangbangin a hihta hi.

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.

¹⁷Huan, kumpipa Ahazin tunna kuakte a hihsiaih, kisilna bel a koih tuama; a tunna dal bawngtal akipanin loh a la khiaa, suanglep tungah a tung a.

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.

¹⁸Huan, khawlni adinga tung nei lampi ina a bawl u leh in polama kumpipa jiakin TOUPA in dingin a kheng geiha.

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?

¹⁹Huchiin Ahaz thilhih tanchin dangte bel Juda kumpipate lal lai thu gelhna bu ah a tuang ahi kei maw?Huan, Ahaz bel a pi leh pute kiangah a ihmu a, a pi leh pute lakah David khopi ah a vuita uh; huan, a tapa Hezekia bel a sikin a lalta hi.

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

²⁰Huan, Ahaz bel a pi leh pute kiangah a ihmu a, a pi leh pute lakah David khopi ah a vuita uh; huan, a tapa Hezekia bel a sikin a lalta hi.
