열왕기하 16

1르말랴의 아들 베가 십칠년에 유다 왕 요담의 아들 아하스가 왕이 되니 2아하스가 위에 나아갈 때에 나이 이십 세라 예루살렘에서 십육 년을 치리하였으나 그 조상 다윗과 같지 아니하여 그 하나님 여호와 보시기에 정직히 행치 아니하고 3이스라엘 열왕의 길로 행하며 또 여호와께서 이스라엘 자손 앞에서 쫓아내신 이방 사람의 가증한 일을 본받아 자기 아들을 불 가운데로 지나가게 하며 4또 산당과 작은 산 위와 모든 푸른 나무 아래서 제사를 드리며 분향하였더라 5이 때에 아람 왕 르신과 이스라엘 왕 르말랴의 아들 베가가 예루살렘에 올라와서 싸우려 하여 아하스를 에워쌌으나 이기지 못하니라 6당시에 아람 왕 르신이 엘랏을 회복하여 아람에 돌리고 유다 사람을 엘랏에서 쫓아내었고 아람 사람이 엘랏에 이르러 거하여 오늘날까지 이르렀더라 7아하스가 앗수르 왕 디글랏 빌레셀에게 사자를 보내어 이르되 나는 왕의 신복이요 왕의 아들이라 이제 아람 왕과 이스라엘 왕이 나를 치니 청컨대 올라와서 나를 그 손에서 구원하소서 하고 8여호와의 전과 왕궁 곳간에 있는 은금을 취하여 앗수르 왕에게 예물로 보내었더니 9앗수르 왕이 그 청을 듣고 곧 올라와서 다메섹을 쳐서 취하여 그 백성을 사로잡아 길로 옮기고 또 르신을 죽였더라 10아하스 왕이 앗수르 왕 디글랏 빌레셀을 만나러 다메섹에 갔다가 거기 있는 단을 보고 드디어 그 구조와 제도의 식양을 그려 제사장 우리야에게 보내었더니 11아하스 왕이 다메섹에서 돌아오기 전에 제사장 우리야가 아하스 왕이 다메섹에서 보낸 모든 것대로 단을 만든지라 12왕이 다메섹에서 돌아와서 단을 보고 단 앞에 나아가 그 위에 제사를 드리되 13자기의 번제와 소제를 불사르고 또 전제를 붓고 수은제 짐승의 피를 단에 뿌리고 14또 여호와의 앞 곧 전 앞에 있던 놋단을 옮기되 새 단과 여호와의 전 사이에서 옮겨다가 그 단 북편에 두니라 15아하스 왕이 제사장 우리야에게 명하여 가로되 아침 번제와 저녁 소제와 왕의 번제와 그 소제와 모든 국민의 번제와 그 소제와 전제를 다 이 큰 단 위에 불사르고 또 번제물의 피와 다른 제물의 피를 다 그 위에 뿌리고 오직 놋단은 나의 물을 일에 쓰게 하라 하매 16제사장 우리야가 아하스 왕의 모든 명대로 행하였더라 17아하스 왕이 물두멍 받침의 옆판을 떼어내고 물두멍을 그 자리에서 옮기고 또 놋바다를 놋소 위에서 내려다가 돌판 위에 두며 18또 안식일에 쓰기 위하여 성전에 건축한 낭실과 왕이 밖에서 들어가는 낭실을 앗수르 왕을 인하여 여호와의 전에 옮겨 세웠더라 19아하스의 그 남은 사적은 유다 왕 역대지략에 기록되지 아니하였느냐 20아하스가 그 열조와 함께 자매 다윗 성에 그 열조와 함께 장사되고 그 아들 히스기야가 대신하여 왕이 되니라

1In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign. 2Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he didn’t do that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh his God, like David his father. 3But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yes, and 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. 4He sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree. 5Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him. 6At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drove the Jews from Elath; and the Syrians came to Elath, and lived there, to this day. 7So 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.” 8Ahaz 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. 9The 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. 10King 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 the fashion of the altar, and its pattern, according to all its workmanship. 11Urijah 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. 12When the king had come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king drew near to the altar, and offered on it. 13He burnt his burnt offering and his meal offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, on the altar. 14The bronze altar, which was before Yahweh, he brought from the forefront of the house, from between his altar and Yahweh’s house, and put it on the north side of his altar. 15King Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, “On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meal offering, and the king’s burnt offering, and his meal offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and 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 shall be for me to inquire by.” 16Urijah the priest did so, according to all that king Ahaz commanded. 17King 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. 18The covered way for the Sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king’s entry outside, he turned to Yahweh’s house, because of the king of Assyria. 19Now 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? 20Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.

1In het zeventiende jaar van Pekah, den zoon van Remalia, werd Achaz koning, de zoon van Jotham, den koning van Juda. 2Twintig jaren was Achaz oud, toen hij koning werd, en hij regeerde zestien jaren te Jeruzalem; en hij deed niet dat recht was in de ogen des HEEREN zijns Gods, als zijn vader David. 3Want hij wandelde in den weg der koningen van Israel; ja, hij deed ook zijn zoon door het vuur gaan, naar de gruwelen der heidenen, die de HEERE voor de kinderen Israels verdreven had. 4Hij offerde ook en rookte op de hoogten en op de heuvelen, ook onder alle groen geboomte. 5Toen toog Rezin, de koning van Syrie, op, met Pekah, den zoon van Remalia, den koning van Israel, naar Jeruzalem ten strijde; en zij belegerden Achaz, maar zij vermochten niet met strijden. 6Te dierzelfder tijd bracht Rezin, de koning van Syrie, Elath weder aan Syrie, en wierp de Joden uit Elath; en de Syriers kwamen te Elath, en hebben daar gewoond tot op dezen dag. 7Achaz nu zond boden tot Tiglath-Pilezer, den koning van Assyrie, zeggende: Ik ben uw knecht en uw zoon; kom op, en verlos mij uit de hand van den koning van Syrie, en uit de hand van den koning van Israel, die zich tegen mij opmaken. 8En Achaz nam het zilver en het goud, dat in het huis des HEEREN, en in de schatten van het huis des konings gevonden werd, en hij zond den koning van Assyrie een geschenk. 9Zo hoorde de koning van Assyrie naar hem; want de koning van Assyrie toog op tegen Damaskus, en nam haar in, en voerde hen gevankelijk naar Kir, en hij doodde Rezin. 10Toen toog de koning Achaz Tiglath-Pilezer, den koning van Assyrie, tegemoet, naar Damaskus; en gezien hebbende een altaar, dat te Damaskus was, zo zond de koning Achaz aan den priester Uria de gelijkenis van het altaar, en zijn afbeelding, naar zijn ganse maaksel. 11En Uria, de priester, bouwde een altaar, naar alles, wat de koning Achaz van Damaskus ontboden had; alzo deed de priester Uria, tegen dat de koning Achaz van Damaskus kwam. 12Als nu de koning van Damaskus gekomen was, zag de koning het altaar; en de koning naderde tot het altaar, en offerde daarop. 13En hij stak zijn brandoffer aan, en zijn spijsoffer, en goot zijn drankoffer en sprengde het bloed zijner dankofferen op dat altaar. 14Maar het koperen altaar, dat voor het aangezicht des HEEREN was, dat bracht hij van het voorste deel van het huis, van tussen zijn altaar, en van tussen het huis des HEEREN, en hij zette het aan de zijde zijns altaars noordwaarts. 15En de koning Achaz gebood Uria, den priester, zeggende: Steek op het grote altaar aan het morgenbrandoffer, en het avondspijsoffer, en des konings brandoffer, en zijn spijsoffer, en het brandoffer van al het volk des lands, en hun spijsoffer, en hun drankofferen; en spreng daarop al het bloed des brandoffers, en al het bloed des slachtoffer; maar het koperen altaar zal mij zijn, om te onderzoeken. 16En Uria, de priester, deed naar alles, wat de koning Achaz geboden had. 17En de koning Achaz sneed de lijsten der stellingen af, en nam die van boven het wasvat weg, en deed de zee af van de koperen runderen, die daaronder waren; en hij zette die op een stenen vloer. 18Daartoe het deksel des sabbats, dat zij in het huis gebouwd hadden, en den buitensten ingang des konings nam hij weg van het huis des HEEREN, vanwege den koning van Assyrie. 19Het overige nu der geschiedenissen van Achaz, wat hij gedaan heeft, is dat niet geschreven in het boek der kronieken der koningen van Juda? 20En Achaz ontsliep met zijn vaderen, en werd begraven bij zijn vaderen, in de stad Davids; en Hizkia, zijn zoon, werd koning in zijn plaats.
