亚哈斯作犹大王(A)

28 亚哈斯登基的时候,是二十岁;他在耶路撒冷作王十六年。他不像他的祖先大卫一样,行耶和华看为正的事, 他却随从以色列诸王的道路,又为巴力铸造偶像; 并且在欣嫩子谷烧香,用火焚烧自己的儿女,像耶和华在以色列人面前驱走的外族人所行可厌恶的事一样; 又在邱坛上、山冈上和各青翠树下,献祭烧香。

亚哈斯被亚兰王所败(B)

因此,耶和华他的 神把他交在亚兰王手里;亚兰王击败了他,掳走了他很多人民,带到大马士革去。 神又把他交在以色列王手里,以色列王就在犹大进行大屠杀。 利玛利的儿子比加在犹大一天之内杀了十二万人,全是勇士,因为他们离弃了耶和华他们列祖的 神。 有一个以法莲的勇士,名叫细基利,杀了王的儿子玛西雅、王宫的总管押斯利甘和王的宰相以利加拿。

以色列人俘掳犹大人

以色列人从他们的兄弟中掳走妇孺共二十万人;又从他们中间夺取了很多战利品,带回撒玛利亚去。 那里有一位耶和华的先知名叫俄德,出来迎接回到撒玛利亚来的军队,对他们说:“耶和华你们列祖的 神因为恼怒犹大人,才把他们交在你们手里,你们却怒气冲天,杀戮了他们。 10 现在你们又想强迫犹大人和耶路撒冷人作你们的奴婢。难道你们自己就没有得罪耶和华你们的 神吗? 11 你们现在要听我的话,把你们掳回来的兄弟释放回去,因为耶和华的震怒已经临到你们身上了。” 12 于是以法莲人的几个首领,就是约哈难的儿子亚撒利雅、米实利末的儿子比利家、沙龙的儿子耶希西家和哈得莱的儿子亚玛撒,起来阻挡从战场回来的军队, 13 对他们说:“你们不可把这些俘虏带进来,因为我们已经得罪了耶和华,你们想增加我们的罪恶和过犯,我们的过犯实在严重,耶和华的震怒临到以色列人身上了。” 14 于是,军队把俘虏和战利品都留在众领袖和全体会众的面前。 15 上面提过的那些人就起来,领走那些俘虏,从战利品中拿出衣服给所有赤身的穿著,给他们穿上鞋,给他们吃喝,又给他们抹油,又把所有疲弱的人放在驴子上,把他们送回棕树城耶利哥他们的兄弟那里,然后就回撒玛利亚去了。

亚哈斯向亚述王求助(C)

16 那时,亚哈斯王派人去求亚述王(按照《马索拉文本》的绝大部分抄本,“王”作“诸王”;现参照另一份抄本和各古译本翻译;参20节和王下16:7)帮助他, 17 因为以东人又来攻打犹大,掳走了许多人。 18 非利士人也侵入了高原和犹大南面的众城,占领了伯.示麦、亚雅仑、基低罗、梭哥和属于梭哥的村庄,亭纳和属于亭纳的村庄,瑾琐和属于瑾琐的村庄,并且住在那里。 19 因为犹大王亚哈斯在犹大放纵邪恶,大大地冒犯了耶和华,所以耶和华使犹大卑微。 20 亚述王提革拉.毘尼色来到他那里,不但没有援助他,反倒欺压他。 21 亚哈斯取了耶和华殿里和王宫中,以及众领袖家里的财宝,给了亚述王,但也无济于事。

向大马士革的神献祭

22 这亚哈斯王在急难的时候,竟越发冒犯耶和华。 23 他向击败了他的大马士革的神献祭,说:“亚兰王的神帮助了他们,我也向它们献祭,使它们也帮助我。”它们却使他和以色列人灭亡。 24 亚哈斯把神殿里的器皿收集起来,把这些神殿里的器皿都击碎了,又封闭了耶和华殿的各门,并且在耶路撒冷的各个角落建造祭坛。 25 他又在犹大各城建造邱坛,向别的神烧香,惹怒他列祖的 神。

亚哈斯逝世

26 亚哈斯其余的事迹和他一切所行的,以及一生的始末,都记在犹大和以色列诸王记上。 27 亚哈斯和他的列祖同睡,埋葬在耶路撒冷城里,但没有葬在以色列诸王的陵墓里。他的儿子希西家接续他作王。

28 Achaz was 20 when he began to reign, and he reigned 16 years in Yerushalayim; but he did not that which was yashar in the eyes of Hashem, like Dovid Aviv,

For he walked in the ways of the melachim of Yisroel, and made also massekhot for Ba’alim.

Moreover he burned ketoret in the Gey Ben Hinnom, and burned his banim in the eish, after the to’avot of the Goyim whom Hashem had driven out before the Bnei Yisroel.

He also sacrificed and burned ketoret on the high places, and on the hilltops, and under every green tree.

Therefore Hashem Elohav delivered him into the yad Melech Aram; and they defeated him, and carried off a great multitude of prisoners, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the yad Melech Yisroel, who inflicted on him makkah gedolah.

For Pekach ben Remalyahu slaughtered in Yehudah 120 elef in yom echad, which were all valiant men; because they had forsaken Hashem Elohei Avotam.

And Zichri, a gibbor of Ephrayim, slaughtered Ma’aseiyahu ben HaMelech, and Azrikam the Nagid HaBais, and Elkanah Mishneh HaMelech.

And the Bnei Yisroel carried away captive of their achim 200 elef nashim, banim, and banot, and took also away much plunder from them, and carried back the plunder to Shomron.

But a navi of Hashem was there shmo Oded, and he went out before the faces of the tzava returning to Shomron, and said unto them, Hinei, because Hashem Elohei Avoteichem was angry with Yehudah, He hath delivered them into your yad, and ye have slain them in a rage that reacheth up unto Shomayim.

10 And now ye intend to keep under the Bnei Yehudah and Yerushalayim for avadim and shefachot unto you, but are there not with you, even with you, sins against Hashem Eloheichem?

11 Now hear me therefore, and send back the prisoners, which ye have taken captive of your achim, for the Charon Af Hashem is upon you.

12 Then certain anashim of the Rashei Bnei Ephrayim, Azaryahu ben Yehochanan, Berechyahu ben Meshillemot, Yechizkiyahu ben Shallum, and Amasa ben Chadlai, stood up against them that came from the tzava,

13 And said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the prisoners here; for whereas we have offended against Hashem already, ye intend to add more to chattotenu and to ashmatenu, for our guilt is great, and there is Charon Af against Yisroel.

14 So the soldiers released the prisoners and the plunder before the sarim and kol HaKahal.

15 And the men which were designated by shemot rose up, and took the prisoners, and with the plunder clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and put balm on them, and carried all the weak of them upon donkeys, and brought them to Yericho, the Ir Temarim, to their achim. Then they returned to Shomron.

16 At that time did HaMelech Achaz send unto the melachim of Assyria to help him.

17 For again the people of Edom had come and attacked Yehudah, and carried away prisoners.

18 The Pelishtim also had invaded the towns of the Shefelah, and of the Negev of Yehudah, and had taken Beit Shemesh, Ayalon, Gederot, and Shocho with the villages thereof, and Timnah with the villages thereof, Gimzo also and the villages thereof, and they dwelt there.

19 For Hashem brought Yehudah low because of Achaz Melech Yisroel, for he brought disgrace to Yehudah, and acted treacherously against Hashem.

20 And Tilgat Pilneser Melech Ashur came unto him, and oppressed him, but helped him not.

21 For Achaz took away a portion out of the Beis Hashem, and out of the Bais HaMelech, and of the sarim, and gave it unto Melech Ashur, but he helped him not.

22 And in the time of his distress he did act even more unfaithfully against Hashem. This is that Melech Achaz.

23 For he sacrificed unto the elohei Damascus, which defeated him, and he said, Because the elohim of the melachim of Syria help them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of kol Yisroel.

24 And Achaz gathered together the vessels of the Beis HaElohim, and cut up the vessels of the Beis HaElohim and shut up the daletot Beis Hashem, and he set up for him mizbechot in every corner of Yerushalayim.

25 And in every town in Yehudah he made high places to burn ketoret unto elohim acherim, and provoked to anger Hashem Elohei Avotav.

26 Now the rest of his acts and of all his ways, the rishonim and the acharonim, hinei, they are written in the Sefer of the Melachim of Yehudah and Yisroel.

27 And Achaz slept with Avotav, and they buried him in the city, even in Yerushalayim, but they brought him not into the keverim of the Melachim of Yisroel. And Chizkiyah bno reigned in his place.

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:

For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

O reinado de Acaz, de Judá(A)

28 Acaz tinha vinte anos de idade quando se tornou rei de Judá. Ele governou dezesseis anos em Jerusalém. Acaz não seguiu o bom exemplo do seu antepassado, o rei Davi; pelo contrário, fez aquilo que não agrada ao Senhor, seu Deus, e seguiu o exemplo dos reis de Israel. Fez imagens de metal do deus Baal e queimou incenso no vale de Ben-Hinom. Chegou até a oferecer os seus próprios filhos, queimando-os como oferta aos ídolos, de acordo com o nojento costume dos povos que o Senhor Deus havia expulsado da terra conforme os israelitas avançavam. Acaz também ofereceu sacrifícios e queimou incenso nos lugares pagãos de adoração, nos morros e debaixo de todas as árvores que dão sombra.

Por isso, o Senhor, o Deus de Acaz, deixou que o rei sírio o vencesse. Os sírios derrotaram o exército de Acaz e levaram muitos judeus como prisioneiros para Damasco. E Deus também deixou que Acaz sofresse uma grande derrota na guerra contra o rei de Israel. Em um só dia, o rei de Israel, Peca, filho de Remalias, matou cento e vinte mil soldados valentes do exército de Acaz. Deus fez isso porque o povo de Judá havia abandonado o Senhor, o Deus dos seus antepassados. Zicri, um valente soldado de Israel, matou Maaseias, filho do rei Acaz; matou também Azricã, o chefe do palácio, e Elcana, o primeiro-ministro do rei. Da terra de Judá os israelitas levaram como prisioneiros muitos dos seus patrícios, isto é, duzentas mil mulheres e crianças. Pegaram também muitos objetos de valor e os levaram consigo para a cidade de Samaria.

O profeta Odede

Odede, um profeta do Senhor Deus, estava em Samaria e foi encontrar-se com o exército israelita, que estava voltando para lá. Odede disse a eles:

— O Senhor, o Deus dos seus antepassados, ficou irado com o povo de Judá e deixou que vocês o derrotassem. Mas vocês mataram aquela gente com tanta raiva, que Deus ficou sabendo disso. 10 Agora vocês estão querendo fazer com que os homens e as mulheres de Judá e de Jerusalém se tornem seus escravos. Será que vocês não sabem que vocês pecaram contra o Senhor, seu Deus? 11 Portanto, ouçam o que eu estou dizendo. Levem de volta os seus patrícios, esses prisioneiros que vocês trouxeram, pois Deus está muito irado com vocês.

12 Então quatro das altas autoridades de Israel, isto é, Azarias, filho de Joanã; Berequias, filho de Mesilemote; Jeizquias, filho de Salum; e Amasa, filho de Hadlai, também ficaram contra o que o exército israelita tinha feito. 13 Eles disseram:

— Não tragam esses prisioneiros para cá! Já pecamos muito contra Deus, o Senhor, e o que vocês estão querendo fazer agora nos tornaria ainda mais culpados diante de Deus. Ele já está muito irado com a gente!

14 Aí os soldados israelitas largaram os prisioneiros e as coisas que tinham trazido de Judá, entregando-os ao povo e às autoridades. 15 Os quatro homens já citados foram escolhidos para cuidar dos prisioneiros. Das coisas que tinham sido trazidas de Judá, eles pegaram roupas e sandálias e deram aos que precisavam. Depois deram de comer e de beber a todos eles e cuidaram dos seus ferimentos. Em seguida, levaram todos os prisioneiros de volta para a sua terra e os deixaram em Jericó, a cidade das palmeiras. Os que estavam muito fracos foram montados em jumentos.

Então os israelitas voltaram para Samaria.

Acaz pede socorro aos assírios(B)

16 Nessa mesma época, o rei Acaz mandou pedir socorro ao rei da Assíria 17 porque mais uma vez os edomitas tinham invadido o país de Judá e haviam derrotado o exército de Acaz e levado alguns prisioneiros. 18 Ao mesmo tempo, os filisteus estavam atacando as cidades que ficavam nas planícies e no sul de Judá, conquistando Bete-Semes, Aijalom e Gederote e também as cidades de Socó, Timna e Ginzo, com os povoados que ficavam ao redor. Tendo conquistado essas cidades, os filisteus começaram a morar nelas. 19 Deus fez o país de Judá sofrer esta humilhação por causa do rei Acaz, pois ele havia levado o povo de Judá a cometer imoralidades e ele mesmo havia desobedecido a Deus, o Senhor.

20 O rei Tiglate-Pileser, da Assíria, marchou com o seu exército contra Acaz e, em vez de ajudá-lo, o deixou numa situação mais difícil ainda. 21 Acaz pegou objetos de valor do Templo, do palácio e das casas das altas autoridades e os deu ao rei da Assíria; porém isso não adiantou nada.

Os pecados e a morte de Acaz(C)

22 Quando as suas dificuldades aumentaram, o rei Acaz cometeu pecados piores contra Deus, o Senhor. Acaz era assim mesmo! 23 Ofereceu sacrifícios aos deuses da Síria, mas esses mesmos deuses foram a causa da sua derrota. Ele disse:

— Os deuses da Síria ajudaram os reis sírios; portanto, vou lhes oferecer sacrifícios, e eles me ajudarão também.

Mas eles trouxeram desgraça para o rei e para todo o país. 24 Acaz pegou os objetos do Templo e os quebrou em pedaços. Fechou os portões do pátio do Templo e mandou construir altares em todas as esquinas de Jerusalém. 25 E mandou construir em todas as cidades de Judá lugares pagãos de adoração, onde se queimava incenso a deuses estrangeiros. Assim ele fez com que o Senhor, o Deus dos seus antepassados, ficasse muito irado.

26 Todas as outras coisas que o rei Acaz fez, desde o começo até o fim do seu reinado, estão escritas na História dos Reis de Judá e de Israel. 27 Acaz morreu e foi sepultado na cidade de Jerusalém, mas não nos túmulos dos reis; e o seu filho Ezequias ficou no lugar dele como rei.
