RCTA
23. அவன், "சீரியா நாட்டுத் தெய்வங்கள் சீரியருக்குத் துணையாய் இருக்கின்றன; ஆதலால் அவை எனக்கும் துணை செய்யும் பொருட்டு நான் அவற்றிற்குப் பலியிடுவேன்" என்று சொல்லி, தன்னைத் தோற்கடித்திருந்த தமாஸ்குவின் தெய்வங்களுக்குப் பலி செலுத்தினான். அதற்கு மாறாக அவை அவனுக்கும் இஸ்ராயேலருக்கும் அழிவையே தேடித் தந்தன.

TOV
23. எப்படியென்றால்: சீரியா ராஜாக்களின் தெய்வங்கள் அவர்களுக்குத் துணை செய்கிறபடியினால், அவர்கள் எனக்கும் துணைசெய்ய அவர்களுக்குப் பலியிடுவேன் என்று சொல்லி, தன்னை முறிய அடித்த தமஸ்குவின் தெய்வங்களுக்கு அவன் பலியிட்டான்; ஆனாலும் அது அவனும் இஸ்ரவேல் அனைத்தும் நாசமாகிறதற்கு ஏதுவாயிற்று.

ERVTA
23. தமஸ்கு ஜனங்கள் தொழுதுகொண்ட தெய்வங்களுக்கே இவன் பலிகளைக் கொடுத்து வந்தான் தமஸ்கு ஜனங்கள் ஆகாஸைத் தோற்கடித்தனர். அதனால் ஆகாஸ், “ஆராம் ஜனங்களுக்கு அவர்கள் தொழுதுகொண்ட தெய்வங்கள் உதவுகின்றன. எனவே நானும் அத்தெய்வங்களுக்குப் பலியிட்டால் அத்தெய்வங்கள் எனக்கும் உதவும்” என்று எண்ணினான். ஆகாஸ் அத்தெய்வங்களைத் தொழுதுகொண்டான். இவ்வாறு இவன் தானும் பாவம் செய்து இஸ்ரவேல் ஜனங்களையும் பாவம் செய்யவைத்தான்.

IRVTA
23. எப்படியென்றால்: சீரியா ராஜாக்களின் தெய்வங்கள் அவர்களுக்குத் துணை செய்கிறதால், அவர்கள் எனக்கும் துணைசெய்ய அவர்களுக்கு பலியிடுவேன் என்று சொல்லி, தன்னைத் தோற்கடித்த தமஸ்குவின் தெய்வங்களுக்கு அவன் பலியிட்டான்; ஆனாலும் அது அவனும் இஸ்ரவேல் அனைத்தும் அழிவதற்கு காரணமானது.

ECTA
23. தன்னைத் தோற்கடித்த தமஸ்குவின் தெய்வங்களுக்குப் பலி செலுத்தினான். "சிரிய மன்னர்களின் தெய்வங்கள் அவர்களுக்குத் துணைசெய்கின்றன; எனக்கும் அவை துணை செய்யுமாறு அவற்றிற்குப் பலி செலுத்துவேன்" என்று சொல்லிக்கொண்டான். ஆனால், அவனது செயல் அவனுக்கும் இஸ்ரயேலர் எல்லாருக்கும் அழிவையே தேடித் தந்தது.

OCVTA
23. அவன் தன்னைத் தோற்கடித்த தமஸ்குவின் தெய்வங்களுக்கு பலியிட்டான்; ஏனெனில் அவன், “சீரிய அரசர்களின் தெய்வங்கள் அவர்களுக்கு உதவிசெய்தன. நான் அவற்றிற்கு பலிசெலுத்துவேன். அப்பொழுது அவை எனக்கும் உதவும்” என நினைத்தான். ஆனால் அவையும் அவனுடைய வீழ்ச்சிக்கும், எல்லா இஸ்ரயேலின் வீழ்ச்சிக்கும் காரணமாயின.
