1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah began Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah to reign.
1 EN el año diecisiete de Peka hijo de Remalías, comenzó á reinar Achâz hijo de Jotham rey de Judá.
2 Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and he did not that which was right in the eyes of the Lord his God faithfully, as David his father [had done].
2 Cuando comenzó á reinar Achâz, era de veinte años, y reinó en Jerusalem dieciséis años: y no hizo lo recto en ojos de Jehová su Dios, como David su padre;
3 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, he made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.
3 Antes anduvo en el camino de los reyes de Israel, y aun hizo pasar por el fuego á su hijo, según las abominaciones de las gentes que Jehová echó de delante de los hijos de Israel.
4 And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, and upon the hills, and under every shady tree.
4 Asimismo sacrificó, y quemó perfumes en los altos, y sobre los collados, y debajo de todo árbol umbroso.
5 Then went up Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel against Jerusalem to war, and besieged Ahaz, but could not prevail [against him].
5 Entonces Resín rey de Siria, y Peka hijo de Remalías rey de Israel, subieron á Jerusalem para hacer guerra, y cercar á Achâz; mas no pudieron tomarla.
6 At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath, to Syria, and drove out the Jews from Elath, and the Edomites came to Elath, and dwelt there until this day.
6 En aquel tiempo Resín rey de Siria restituyó Elath á Siria, y echó á los Judíos de Elath; y los Siros vinieron á Elath, y habitaron allí hasta hoy.
7 And Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser king of the Assyrians, saying, I am thy servant and thy son: come up, deliver me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who are rising up against me.
7 Entonces Achâz envió embajadores á Tiglath-pileser rey de Asiria, diciendo: Yo soy tu siervo y tu hijo: sube, y defiéndeme de mano del rey de Siria, y de mano del rey de Israel, que se han levantado contra mí.
8 And Ahaz took the silver and the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king’s house, and sent gifts to the king.
8 Y tomando Achâz la plata y el oro que se halló en la casa de Jehová, y en los tesoros de la casa real, envió al rey de Asiria un presente.
9 And the king of the Assyrians hearkened to him: and the king of the Assyrians went up to Damascus and took it, and removed the inhabitants, and slew King Rezin.
9 Y atendióle el rey de Asiria; pues subió el rey de Asiria contra Damasco, y tomóla, y trasportó los moradores á Kir, y mató á Resín.
10 And King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser king of the Assyrians at Damascus; and he saw an altar at Damascus. And King Ahaz sent to Uriah the priest the pattern of the altar, and its proportions, and all its workmanship.
10 Y fué el rey Achâz á encontrar á Tiglath-pileser rey de Asiria en Damasco; y visto que hubo el rey Achâz el altar que estaba en Damasco, envió á Urías sacerdote el diseño y la descripción del altar, conforme á toda su hechura.
11 And Uriah the priest built the altar, according to all [the directions] which King Ahaz sent from Damascus.
11 Y Urías el sacerdote edificó el altar; conforme á todo lo que el rey Achâz había enviado de Damasco, así lo hizo el sacerdote Urías, entre tanto que el rey Achâz venía de Damasco.
12 And the king saw the altar, and went up to it,
12 Y luego que vino el rey de Damasco, y hubo visto el altar, acercóse el rey á él, y sacrificó en él;
13 and offered his whole burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering, and poured out the blood of his peace offerings on the brazen altar that was before the Lord.
13 Y encendió su holocausto, y su presente, y derramó sus libaciones, y esparció la sangre de sus pacíficos junto al altar.
14 And he brought forward [the one] before the house of the Lord from between the altar and the house of the Lord, and he set it openly by the side of the altar northward.
14 Y el altar de bronce que estaba delante de Jehová, hízolo acercar delante de la frontera de la casa, entre el altar y el templo de Jehová, y púsolo al lado del altar hacia el aquilón.
15 And King Ahaz charged Uriah the priest, saying, Offer upon the great altar the whole burnt offering in the morning and the meat offering in the evening, and the whole burnt offering of the king, and his meat offering, and the whole burnt offering of all the people, and their meat offering, and their drink offering; and thou shalt pour all the blood of the whole burnt offering, and all the blood of [any other] sacrifice upon it: and the brazen altar shall be for me in the morning.
15 Y mandó el rey Achâz al sacerdote Urías, diciendo: En el gran altar encenderás el holocausto de la mañana y el presente de la tarde, y el holocausto del rey y su presente, y asimismo el holocausto de todo el pueblo de la tierra y su presente y sus libaciones: y esparcirás sobre él toda la sangre de holocausto, y toda la sangre de sacrificio: y el altar de bronce será mío para preguntar [en él].
16 And Uriah the priest did according to all that King Ahaz commanded him.
16 E hizo el sacerdote Urías conforme á todas las cosas que el rey Achâz le mandó.
17 And King Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them, and took down the sea from the brazen oxen that were under it, and set it upon a base of stone.
17 Y cortó el rey Achâz las cintas de las basas, y quitóles las fuentes; quitó también el mar de sobre los bueyes de bronce que estaban debajo de él, y púsolo sobre el solado de piedra.
18 And he made a base for the throne in the house of the Lord, and he turned the king’s entrance without in the house of the Lord because of the king of the Assyrians.
18 Asimismo la tienda del sábado que habían edificado en la casa, y el pasadizo de afuera del rey, mudólos del templo de Jehová, por causa del rey de Asiria.
19 And the rest of the acts of Ahaz, even all that he did, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
19 Lo demás de los hechos de Achâz que puso por obra, ¿no está todo escrito en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Judá?
20 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
20 Y durmió el rey Achâz con sus padres y fué sepultado con sus padres en la ciudad de David: y reinó en su lugar Ezechîas su hijo.
