Ko Kīngi Ahata o Hūrā

1 E rua tekau ngā tau o Ahata i tōna kīngitanga, ā, tekau mā ono ngā tau i kīngi ai ia ki Hiruhārama. Kīhai hoki ia i mahi i te tika ki tā Ihowā titiro, kīhai i pērā me tōna pāpā, me Rāwiri. 2 I haere hoki ia i ngā ara o ngā kīngi o Īharaira, i hanga anō i ētahi whakapakoko whakarewa mō ngā Paara. 3 I tahu whakakakara anō ia ki te raorao o te tama a Hinomo, tahuna ana anō e ia āna tamariki ki te ahi; rite tonu tāna ki ngā mea whakarihariha a ngā iwi i peia nei e Ihowā i te aroaro o ngā tama a Īharaira. 4 I patu whakahere anō ia, i tahu whakakakara ki ngā wāhi tiketike, ki ngā pukepuke, ki raro i ngā rākau kōuru nui katoa.

He Pakanga ki Hīria me Īharaira

5 Nā reira i tukua ai ia e Ihowā, e tōna Atua ki te ringa o te kīngi o Hīria; ā, patua ana ia e rātou, he tini anō hoki ngā pārau o rātou i whakaraua atu, kawea ana ki Ramahiku.

I tukua atu anō ia ki te ringa o te kīngi o Īharaira, patua iho e ia, he nui te parekura. 6 Kotahi hoki te rau e rua tekau mano i patua e Peka tama a Remaria ki Hūrā i te rā kotahi, he hunga māia katoa; mō rātou i whakarere i a Ihowā, i te Atua o ō rātou mātua. 7 Nā, i patua e tētahi mārohirohi o Ēparaima, e Tīkiri, a Maaheia tama a te kīngi, a Atarikama, rangatira o te whare, me Erekana, tō muri i te kīngi. 8 Whakaraua atu ana e ngā tama a Īharaira e rua rau mano o ō rātou tuākana, tēina, ngā wāhine, ngā tamariki, ngā tamāhine, nui atu hoki ō rātou taonga i pāhuatia e rātou; kawea atu ana e rātou ngā taonga ki Hamaria.

Te Poropiti Orere

9 Otiia he poropiti tā te Atua i reira, ko Orere tōna ingoa; ā, ka puta ia ki te whakatau i te taua e haere ana mai ki Hamaria, ka mea ki a rātou, "Nanā, he riri nō Ihowā, nō te Atua o ō koutou mātua, ki a Hūrā i hōmai ai rātou e ia ki ō koutou ringa; patua iho e koutou, tutuki noa te riri ki te rangi. 10 Heoi, kei te mea koutou kia pēhia ki raro ngā tama o Hūrā, o Hiruhārama hei pononga tāne, hei pononga wāhine mā koutou; engari kāhore rānei i a koutou nā ō koutou hē hoki ki a Ihowā ki tō koutou Atua? 11 Tēnā, whakarongo ki ahau, whakahokia ngā whakarau i whakaraua mai koutou i ō koutou tuākana, tēina; nō te mea kei te mura te riri o Ihowā, o tō koutou Atua, ki a koutou."

12 Kātahi ka whakatika ētahi o ngā upoko o ngā tama a Ēparaima, a Atāria tama a Iehohanana, a Perekia tama a Mehiremoto, a Hetekia tama a Harumu, rātou ko Amaha tama a Hararai, ka tū atu ki te hunga i haere mai nei i te whawhai. 13 Ā, ka mea ki a rātou, "Kei kawea mai e koutou ngā whakarau nā ki konei; ko tā koutou hoki e mea nā hei hōmai ki a tātou he hē ki a Ihowā, e whakanekehia ake ai ō tātou hara me tō tātou hē. He nui hoki tō tātou hē, ā, he riri tēnei te mura nei ki a Īharaira."

14 Heoi, whakarērea iho e ngā tāngata i ngā patu ngā whakarau, me ngā taonga i te aroaro o ngā rangatira rātou ko te huihui katoa. 15 Nā, ka whakatika ngā tāngata i whakahuatia ō rātou ingoa, ka mau ki ngā whakarau, whakakākahuria ana e rātou ki ngā taonga ngā mea kākahukore o rātou. Whakakākahuria ana e rātou, whakawhiwhi rawa ki te hū, hoatu ana he mea hei kai, hei inu, whakawahia ana, kawea ana ngā mea kahakore katoa o rātou i runga i te kāihe, ā tae noa ki Heriko, ki te pā nīkau ki ō rātou tuākana, tēina. Nā, hoki ana rātou ki Hamaria.

Ka Īnoi a Ahata ki a Ahiria hei Āwhina

16 I taua wā ka unga tāngata a Kīngi Ahata ki ngā kīngi o Ahiria hei āwhina mōna. 17 Nō te mea kua tae mai anō ngā Ēromi; patua iho e rātou a Hūrā, whakaraua atu ana ētahi whakarau. 18 Kua whakaekea hoki e ngā Pirihitini ngā pā o te raorao, o te taha ki te tonga o Hūrā, ā, riro ana i a rātou a Petehemehe, a Atarono, a Kereroto, a Hoko me ōna pā ririki, a Timina me ōna pā ririki, a Kimito me ōna pā ririki; nohoia iho e rātou. 19 Nā Ihowā hoki i whakaiti a Hūrā, mō tā Ahata, mō tā te kīngi o Īharaira; mō tāna mahi wairangi i roto i a Hūrā, nui atu hoki tōna hē ki a Ihowā. 20 Nā, ka haere a Tirikata Pirinehere kīngi o Ahiria ki a ia, ka whakararuraru i a ia, kīhai hoki i whakakaha i a ia. 21 I tangohia hoki e Ahata tētahi wāhi i roto i te whare o Ihowā, i te whare anō o te kīngi rātou ko ngā rangatira, ā, hoatu ana ki te kīngi o Ahiria; kīhai anō tērā i āwhina i a ia.

Ngā Hara a Ahata

22 Nā, i te wā i hē ai ia, ka tohe anō ia ki te hē ki a Ihowā, taua kīngi a Ahata. 23 I patu whakahere hoki ia ki ngā atua o Ramahiku i patu nei i a ia; i kī hoki ia, "Ko ngā atua o ngā kīngi o Hīria kei te āwhina i a rātou, nā, me patu whakahere ahau ki a rātou, kia āwhina ai rātou i ahau." Otiia, ko rātou anō hei whakangoikore i a ia, i a Īharaira katoa anō hoki.

24 Nā, ka huihuia e Ahata ngā oko o te whare o te Atua, tapatapahia ana e ia ngā oko o te whare o te Atua, ā, tūtakina ana e ia ngā tatau o te whare o Ihowā. I hangā anō e ia ētahi āta māna ki ngā koki katoa o Hiruhārama. 25 I hangā anō e ia ki ngā pā o Hūrā ētahi wāhi tiketike hei tahu whakakakara ki ngā atua kē, whakapātaritaria ana e ia a Ihowā, te Atua o ōna mātua.

26 Nā, ko ērā meatanga atu ana, ko āna meatanga katoa ō mua, ō muri, nanā, kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka o ngā kīngi o Hūrā rāua ko Īharaira. 27 Nā, kua moe a Ahata ki ōna mātua, ā, tanumia iho ki te pā, ki Hiruhārama; otiia kīhai i kawea ki ngā tanumanga o ngā kīngi o Īharaira; ā, ko Hetekia, ko tāna tama, te kīngi i muri i a ia.

1 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he did not that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, like David his father; 2 but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for the Baalim. 3 Moreover 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 Jehovah cast out before the children of Israel. 4 And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

5 Wherefore Jehovah his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away of his a great multitude of captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter. 6 For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah a hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all of them valiant men; because they had forsaken Jehovah, the God of their fathers. 7 And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king’s son, and Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah that was next to the king.

8 And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria. 9 But a prophet of Jehovah was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out to meet the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because Jehovah, the God of your fathers, was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage which hath reached up unto heaven. 10 And now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you: but are there not even with you trespasses of your own against Jehovah your God? 11 Now hear me therefore, and send back the captives, that ye have taken captive of your brethren; for the fierce wrath of Jehovah is upon you. 12 Then certain 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 them that came from the war, 13 and said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither: for ye purpose that which will bring upon us a trespass against Jehovah, to add unto our sins and to our trespass; for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel. 14 So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the assembly. 15 And the men that have been mentioned by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm-trees, unto their brethren: then they returned to Samaria.

16 At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him. 17 For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives. 18 The 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 the towns thereof, and Timnah with the towns thereof, Gimzo also and the towns thereof: and they dwelt there. 19 For Jehovah brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he had dealt wantonly in Judah, and trespassed sore against Jehovah. 20 And Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not. 21 For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of Jehovah, and out of the house of the king and of the princes, and gave it unto the king of Assyria: but it helped him not.

22 And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against Jehovah, this same king Ahaz. 23 For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him; and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel. 24 And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of Jehovah; and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem. 25 And in every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger Jehovah, the God of his fathers. 26 Now 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. 27 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem; for they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
