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

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

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.

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,

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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

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.
