2 Chronicles 28
Maori Bible
28 E rua tekau nga tau o Ahata i tona kingitanga, a tekau ma ono nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama: kihai hoki ia i mahi i te tika ki ta Ihowa titiro, kihai i pera me tona papa, me Rawiri.
2 I haere hoki ia i nga ara o nga kingi o Iharaira, i hanga ano i etahi whakapakoko whakarewa mo nga Paara.
3 I tahu whakakakara ano ia ki te raorao o te tama a Hinomo, tahuna ana ano e ia ana tamariki ki te ahi; rite tonu tana ki nga mea whakarihariha a nga iwi i peia nei e Ihowa i te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira.
4 I patu whakahere ano ia, i tahu whakakakara ki nga wahi tiketike, ki nga pukepuke, ki raro i nga rakau kouru nui katoa.
5 Na reira i tukua ai ia e Ihowa, e tona Atua ki te ringa o te kingi o Hiria; a patua ana ia e ratou, he tini ano hoki nga parau o ratou i whakaraua atu, kawea ana ki Ramahiku. I tukua atu ano ia ki te ringa o te kingi o Iharaira, patua iho e ia, h e nui te parekura.
6 Kotahi hoki te rau e rua tekau mano i patua e Peka tama a Remaria ki Hura i te ra kotahi, he hunga maia katoa; mo ratou i whakarere i a Ihowa, i te Atua o o ratou matua.
7 Na i patua e tetahi marohirohi o Eparaima, e Tikiri, a Maaheia tama a te kingi, a Atarikama, rangatira o te whare, me Erekana, to muri i te kingi.
8 Whakaraua atu ana e nga tama a Iharaira e rua rau mano o o ratou tuakana, teina, nga wahine, nga tamariki, nga tamahine, nui atu hoki o ratou taonga i pahuatia e ratou; kawea atu ana e ratou nga taonga ki Hamaria.
9 Otiia he poropiti ta te Atua i reira, ko Orere tona ingoa; a ka puta ia ki te whakatau i te taua e haere ana mai ki Hamaria, ka mea ki a ratou, Nana, he riri no Ihowa, no te Atua o o koutou matua, ki a Hura i homai ai ratou e ia ki o koutou ringa; patua iho e koutou, tutuki noa te riri ki te rangi.
10 Heoi kei te mea koutou kia pehia ki raro nga tama o Hura, o Hiruharama, hei pononga tane, hei pononga wahine ma koutou; engari kahore ranei i a koutou na o koutou he hoki ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua?
11 Tena, whakarongo ki ahau, whakahokia nga whakarau i whakaraua mai e koutou i o koutou tuakana, teina; no te mea kei te mura te riri o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua, ki a koutou.
12 Katahi ka whakatika etahi o nga upoko o nga tama a Eparaima, a Ataria tama a Iehohanana, a Perekia tama a Mehiremoto, a Hetekia tama a Harumu, ratou ko Amaha tama a Hararai, ka tu atu ki te hunga i haere mai nei i te whawhai,
13 A ka mea ki a ratou, kei kawea mai e koutou nga whakarau na ki konei: ko ta koutou hoki e mea na hei homai ki a tatou he he ki a Ihowa, e whakanekehia ake ai o tatou hara me to tatou he: he nui hoki to tatou he, a he riri tenei te mura nei ki a Iharaira.
14 Heoi whakarerea iho e nga tangata i nga patu nga whakarau, me nga taonga i te aroaro o nga rangatira ratou ko te huihui katoa.
15 Na ka whakatika nga tangata i whakahuatia o ratou ingoa, ka mau ki nga whakarau, whakakakahuria ana e ratou ki nga taonga nga mea kakahukore o ratou; whakakakahuria ana e ratou, whakawhiwhi rawa ki te hu, hoatu ana he mea hei kai, hei inu, whaka wahia ana, kawea ana nga mea kahakore katoa o ratou i runga i te kaihe, a tae noa ki Heriko, ki te pa nikau ki o ratou tuakana, teina. Na hoki ana ratou ki Hamaria.
16 I taua wa ka unga tangata a Kingi Ahata ki nga kingi o Ahiria hei awhina mona.
17 No te mea kua tae mai ano nga Eromi; patua iho e ratou a Hura, whakaraua atu ana etahi whakarau.
18 Kua whakaekea hoki e nga Pirihitini nga pa o te raorao, o te taha ki te tonga o Hura, a riro ana i a ratou a Petehemehe, a Atarono, a Kereroto, a Hoko me ona pa ririki, a Timina me ona pa ririki, a Kimito me ona pa ririki: nohoia iho e ratou.
19 Na Ihowa hoki i whakaiti a Hura, mo ta Ahata, mo ta te kingi o Iharaira; mo tana mahi wairangi i roto i a Hura, nui atu hoki tona he ki a Ihowa.
20 Na ka haere a Tirikata Pirinehere kingi o Ahiria ki a ia, ka whakararuraru i a ia, kihai hoki i whakakaha i a ia.
21 I tangohia hoki e Ahata tetahi wahi i roto i te whare o Ihowa, i te whare ano o te kingi ratou ko nga rangatira, a hoatu ana ki te kingi o Ahiria; kihai ano tera i awhina i a ia.
22 Na i te wa i he ai ia, ka tohe ano ia ki te he ki a Ihowa, taua kingi a Ahata.
23 I patu whakahere hoki ia ki nga atua o Ramahiku i patu nei i a ia; i ki hoki ia, Ko nga atua o nga kingi o Hiria kei te awhina i a ratou, na, me patu whakahere ahau ki a ratou, kia awhina ai ratou i ahau. Otiia ko ratou ano hei whakangoikore i a ia, i a Iharaira katoa ano hoki.
24 Na ka huihuia e Ahata nga oko o te whare o te Atua, tapatapahia ana e ia nga oko o te whare o te Atua, a tutakina ana e ia nga tatau o te whare o Ihowa. I hanga ano e ia etahi aata mana ki nga koki katoa o Hiruharama.
25 I hanga ano e ia ki nga pa o Hura etahi wahi tiketike hei tahu whakakakara ki nga atua ke, whakapataritaria ana e ia a Ihowa, te Atua o ona matua.
26 Na, ko era meatanga atu ana, ko ana meatanga katoa o mua, o muri, nana, kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka o nga kingi o Hura raua ko Iharaira.
27 Na kua moe a Ahata ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki te pa, ki Hiruharama; otiia kihai i kawea ki nga tanumanga o nga kingi o Iharaira; a ko Hetekia, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.

Ahaz King of Judah(A)
28 Ahaz(B) was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. Unlike David his father, he did not do what was right in the eyes of the Lord. 2 He followed the ways of the kings of Israel and also made idols(C) for worshiping the Baals. 3 He burned sacrifices in the Valley of Ben Hinnom(D) and sacrificed his children(E) in the fire, engaging in the detestable(F) practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites. 4 He offered sacrifices and burned incense at the high places, on the hilltops and under every spreading tree.
5 Therefore the Lord his God delivered him into the hands of the king of Aram.(G) The Arameans defeated him and took many of his people as prisoners and brought them to Damascus.
He was also given into the hands of the king of Israel, who inflicted heavy casualties on him. 6 In one day Pekah(H) son of Remaliah killed a hundred and twenty thousand soldiers in Judah(I)—because Judah had forsaken the Lord, the God of their ancestors. 7 Zikri, an Ephraimite warrior, killed Maaseiah the king’s son, Azrikam the officer in charge of the palace, and Elkanah, second to the king. 8 The men of Israel took captive from their fellow Israelites who were from Judah(J) two hundred thousand wives, sons and daughters. They also took a great deal of plunder, which they carried back to Samaria.(K)
9 But a prophet of the Lord named Oded was there, and he went out to meet the army when it returned to Samaria. He said to them, “Because the Lord, the God of your ancestors, was angry(L) with Judah, he gave them into your hand. But you have slaughtered them in a rage that reaches to heaven.(M) 10 And now you intend to make the men and women of Judah and Jerusalem your slaves.(N) But aren’t you also guilty of sins against the Lord your God? 11 Now listen to me! Send back your fellow Israelites you have taken as prisoners, for the Lord’s fierce anger rests on you.(O)”
12 Then some of the leaders in Ephraim—Azariah son of Jehohanan, Berekiah son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai—confronted those who were arriving from the war. 13 “You must not bring those prisoners here,” they said, “or we will be guilty before the Lord. Do you intend to add to our sin and guilt? For our guilt is already great, and his fierce anger rests on Israel.”
14 So the soldiers gave up the prisoners and plunder in the presence of the officials and all the assembly. 15 The men designated by name took the prisoners, and from the plunder they clothed all who were naked. They provided them with clothes and sandals, food and drink,(P) and healing balm. All those who were weak they put on donkeys. So they took them back to their fellow Israelites at Jericho, the City of Palms,(Q) and returned to Samaria.(R)
16 At that time King Ahaz sent to the kings[a] of Assyria(S) for help. 17 The Edomites(T) had again come and attacked Judah and carried away prisoners,(U) 18 while the Philistines(V) had raided towns in the foothills and in the Negev of Judah. They captured and occupied Beth Shemesh, Aijalon(W) and Gederoth,(X) as well as Soko,(Y) Timnah(Z) and Gimzo, with their surrounding villages. 19 The Lord had humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel,[b] for he had promoted wickedness in Judah and had been most unfaithful(AA) to the Lord. 20 Tiglath-Pileser[c](AB) king of Assyria(AC) came to him, but he gave him trouble(AD) instead of help.(AE) 21 Ahaz(AF) took some of the things from the temple of the Lord and from the royal palace and from the officials and presented them to the king of Assyria, but that did not help him.(AG)
22 In his time of trouble King Ahaz became even more unfaithful(AH) to the Lord. 23 He offered sacrifices to the gods(AI) of Damascus, who had defeated him; for he thought, “Since the gods of the kings of Aram have helped them, I will sacrifice to them so they will help me.”(AJ) But they were his downfall and the downfall of all Israel.(AK)
24 Ahaz gathered together the furnishings(AL) from the temple of God(AM) and cut them in pieces. He shut the doors(AN) of the Lord’s temple and set up altars(AO) at every street corner in Jerusalem. 25 In every town in Judah he built high places to burn sacrifices to other gods and aroused the anger of the Lord, the God of his ancestors.
26 The other events of his reign and all his ways, from beginning to end, are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 27 Ahaz rested(AP) with his ancestors and was buried(AQ) in the city of Jerusalem, but he was not placed in the tombs of the kings of Israel. And Hezekiah his son succeeded him as king.

King James Version
28 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord, like David his father:
2 For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim.
3 Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.
4 He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
5 Wherefore the Lord his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them 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 an hundred and twenty thousand in one day, which were all valiant men; because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers.
7 And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the governor 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 the Lord was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because the Lord God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that reacheth 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 with you, even with you, sins against the Lord your God?
11 Now hear me therefore, and deliver the captives again, which ye have taken captive of your brethren: for the fierce wrath of the Lord 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 whereas we have offended against the Lord already, ye intend to add more to 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 congregation.
15 And the men which were expressed 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, to 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 low country, and of the south of Judah, and had taken Bethshemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho with the villages thereof, and Timnah with the villages thereof, Gimzo also and the villages thereof: and they dwelt there.
19 For the Lord brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the Lord.
20 And Tilgathpilneser 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 the Lord, and out of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave it unto the king of Assyria: but he helped him not.
22 And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the Lord: this is that 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 help 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 the Lord, and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
25 And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger the Lord God of his fathers.
26 Now the rest of his acts and of 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: but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
