1 Acaz hijo de Jotam comenzó a reinar sobre Judá en el año diecisiete de Peka hijo de Remalías.
1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign.
2 Tenía veinte años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó dieciséis años en Jerusalén. No hizo lo recto ante los ojos del Señor su Dios, como lo había hecho David, su antepasado.
2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He didn’t do that which was right in Yahweh his God’s eyes, like David his father.
3 Siguió el camino de los reyes de Israel. Incluso hizo pasar a su hijo por el fuego, imitando las prácticas detestables de las naciones que el Señor había expulsado ante los israelitas.
3 But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and even 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.
4 Ofrecía sacrificios y quemaba incienso en los santuarios de los lugares altos, en las colinas y bajo todo árbol frondoso.
4 He sacrificed and burned incense in the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.
5 Rezín, rey de Siria, y Peka hijo de Remalías, rey de Israel, subieron a atacar Jerusalén. Sitiaron a Acaz, pero no lograron vencerlo.
5 Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to wage war. They besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him.
6 Por entonces el rey de Edom recuperó Elat para Edom y expulsó de allí a los habitantes de Judá. Los edomitas volvieron a establecerse en Elat, donde viven hasta hoy.
6 At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drove the Jews from Elath; and the Syrians came to Elath, and live there to this day.
7 Acaz envió mensajeros a Tiglat-pileser, rey de Asiria, con este mensaje: «Soy tu servidor y tu hijo. Ven a salvarme de los reyes de Siria e Israel, que me están atacando».
7 So 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.”
8 También tomó la plata y el oro del templo del Señor y de los depósitos del palacio y los envió al rey de Asiria como regalo.
8 Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in Yahweh’s house, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria.
9 El rey de Asiria atendió su petición. Atacó y conquistó Damasco, deportó a sus habitantes a Kir y mató a Rezín.
9 The 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.
10 El rey Acaz fue a Damasco a encontrarse con Tiglat-pileser, rey de Asiria. Allí vio un altar y envió al sacerdote Urías un dibujo con sus medidas y todos los detalles de su construcción.
10 King 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 a drawing of the altar and plans to build it.
11 Urías construyó el altar conforme al diseño enviado por Acaz desde Damasco y lo terminó antes de que el rey regresara.
11 Urijah 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.
12 Al volver de Damasco, el rey vio el altar, se acercó y presentó ofrendas sobre él.
12 When the king had come from Damascus, the king saw the altar; and the king came near to the altar, and offered on it.
13 Allí ofreció su holocausto, su ofrenda de harina y su ofrenda líquida, y roció sobre el altar la sangre de sus ofrendas de paz.
13 He burned his burnt offering and his meal offering, poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings on the altar.
14 Después quitó el altar de bronce que estaba delante del Señor, entre el altar nuevo y el templo, y lo colocó al norte del altar nuevo.
14 The bronze altar, which was before Yahweh, he brought from the front of the house, from between his altar and Yahweh’s house, and put it on the north side of his altar.
15 Acaz ordenó al sacerdote Urías: «Presenta sobre el altar grande el holocausto de la mañana, la ofrenda de harina de la tarde, los holocaustos y las ofrendas de harina del rey, y los holocaustos, las ofrendas de harina y las ofrendas líquidas de todo el pueblo. Rocía allí toda la sangre de los sacrificios. El altar de bronce quedará para que yo consulte al Señor».
15 King Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, “On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, the evening meal offering, the king’s burnt offering and his meal offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, 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 will be for me to inquire by.”
16 El sacerdote Urías hizo todo lo que el rey Acaz le ordenó.
16 Urijah the priest did so, according to all that King Ahaz commanded.
17 Acaz quitó los paneles de las bases móviles y retiró los recipientes que sostenían. También bajó el gran depósito de agua de encima de los bueyes de bronce y lo puso sobre una base de piedra.
17 King 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.
18 Por consideración al rey de Asiria, quitó del templo del Señor la entrada cubierta que se usaba el día de descanso y la entrada exterior reservada al rey.
18 He removed the covered way for the Sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king’s outer entrance to Yahweh’s house, because of the king of Assyria.
19 Los demás hechos de Acaz están escritos en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Judá.
19 Now 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?
20 Acaz murió y fue sepultado con sus antepasados en la Ciudad de David. Su hijo Ezequías ocupó su lugar como rey.
