2 Kings 14

1 In the second year of Joash, son of Joahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah, the son of Joash, became king of Judah.

‌ʻI hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo Soasi ko e foha ʻo Sihoaasi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli naʻe pule ʻa ʻAmasia ko e foha ʻo Soasi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta.

2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years; his mother's name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.

Naʻe uofulu ma nima ʻae taʻu ʻo ʻene motuʻa ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi Selūsalema, ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu ma hiva. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Sihoatani, ʻo Selūsalema.

3 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, though not like David his father; he did as Joash his father had done.

Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae meʻa naʻe lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne tatau mo Tevita ko ʻene tamai: naʻa ne fai ʻo fakatatau mo e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe Soasi ko ʻene tamai.

4 But still the high places were not taken away; the people went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.

Ka neongo ia naʻe ʻikai ʻave ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga: naʻe kei fai ʻe he kakai ʻae feilaulau mo e tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga.

5 Now when he became strong in the kingdom, straight away he put to death those servants who had taken the life of the king his father;

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene tuʻumaʻu leva ʻae puleʻanga ki hono nima, naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻakinautolu naʻe fakapoongi ʻae tuʻi ko ʻene tamai.

6 But he did not put their children to death; for the orders of the Lord recorded in the book of the law of Moses say, The fathers are not to be put to death for the children, or the children for their fathers; but a man is to be put to death for the sin which he himself has done.

Ka naʻe ʻikai tāmateʻi ʻe ia ʻae fānau ʻae kau fakapō: kae hangē ko ia ʻoku tohi ʻi he tohi ʻoe fono ʻa Mōsese, ʻaia naʻe fekau ai ʻe Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻikai tāmateʻi ʻae tamai koeʻuhi ko e fānau, pe tāmateʻi ʻae fānau koeʻuhi ko ʻenau ngaahi tamai; ka ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae tangata taki taha koeʻuhi ko ʻene angahala ʻaʻana pe.”

7 He put to the sword twelve thousand men of Edom in the Valley of Salt, and took Sela in war, naming it Joktheel, as it is to this day.

Naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻae kakai ʻItomi ʻe tokotaha mano, ʻi he teleʻa ʻoe māsima, pea naʻa ne kapa ʻa Sila ʻi he tau, pea naʻa ne ui ʻa hono hingoa ko Sokitili ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.

8 Then Amaziah sent representatives to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us have a meeting face to face.

Pea naʻe kouna ʻe ʻAmasia ʻae kau talafekau kia Soasa, ko e foha ʻo Sihoaasi ko e foha ʻo Sehu, ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “Haʻu, ke ta fesiofaki ʻakitaua ko e mata ki he mata.”

9 And Jehoash, king of Israel, sent to Amaziah, king of Judah, saying, The thorn-tree in Lebanon sent to the cedar in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son for a wife: and a beast from the woodland in Lebanon went by, crushing the thorn under his feet.

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Soasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia ʻAmasia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe fekau atu ʻe he talatalaʻāmoa ʻaia naʻe ʻi Lepanoni ki he sita ʻaia naʻe ʻi Lepanoni, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Foaki mai ho ʻofefine ki hoku foha kena mali:’ pea naʻe ʻalu ange ha manu fekai naʻe nofo ʻi Lepanoni, ʻo ne malamalaki hifo ʻae talatalaʻāmoa.”

10 It is true that you have overcome Edom and your heart is uplifted; let that glory be enough for you, and keep in your country; why do you make causes of trouble, putting yourself, and Judah with you, in danger of downfall?

Ko e moʻoni kuo ke teʻia ʻa ʻItomi, pea kuo angahiki ai ho loto: ke ke monūʻia, pea ke nofo ai pe ʻi ho fale: he koeʻumaʻā ʻa hoʻo lavea ʻi he kaunoa pe, mo ke hinga ai, ʻio, ʻa koe, pea mo Siuta fakataha mo koe?

11 But Amaziah gave no attention. So Jehoash, king of Israel, went up, and he and Amaziah, king of Judah, came face to face at Beth-shemesh, which is in Judah.

Ka naʻe ʻikai fie fakaongo ʻa ʻAmasia ki ai. Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻa Soasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli; pea naʻe fesiofaki ia mo ʻAmasia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ko e mata ki he mata ʻi Pete-Semesi ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Siuta.

12 And Judah was overcome before Israel, so that they went in flight, every man to his tent.

Pea naʻe teʻia ʻa Siuta ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli; pea naʻe hola ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono fale fehikitaki.

13 And Jehoash, king of Israel, made Amaziah, king of Judah, the son of Jehoash, son of Ahaziah, prisoner at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and had the wall of Jerusalem pulled down from the doorway of Ephraim to the door in the angle, four hundred cubits.

Pea naʻe maʻu ʻa ʻAmasia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ko e foha ʻo Soasa ko e foha ʻo ʻAhasia, ʻe Soasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi Pete-Semesi, ʻo ne ʻomi ki Selūsalema, pea ne holoki hifo ʻae ʻa ʻo Selūsalema mei he matapā ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻo aʻu ki he matapā ʻoe tuliki, ko e hanga ʻe valungeau.

14 And he took all the gold and silver and all the vessels which were in the house of the Lord and in the store-house of the king, together with those whose lives would be the price of broken faith, and went back to Samaria.

Pea naʻa ne toʻo ʻae koula kotoa pē mo e siliva, pea mo e ngaahi nāunau naʻe ʻilo ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, pea ʻi he tukunga koloa ʻoe fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea mo e kau pōpula, pea ne toe ʻalu ai ki Samēlia.

15 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash, and his power, and how he went to war with Amaziah, king of Judah, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

Pea ko eni ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Soasa, ʻaia naʻa ne fai, pea mo ʻene mālohi, pea mo ʻene tau mo ʻAmasia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?

16 And Jehoash went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son became king in his place.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Soasa mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe fai hono putu ki Samēlia fakataha mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli; pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Selopoami ko hono foha.

17 Amaziah, the son of Joash, king of Judah, went on living for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.

Pea ko ʻAmasia ko e foha ʻo Soasi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta naʻe moʻui ia hili ʻae pekia ʻa Soasa ko e foha ʻo Sihoaasi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma nima.

18 And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa ʻAmasia, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?

19 Now they made a secret design against him in Jerusalem; and he went in flight to Lachish, but they sent after him to Lachish and put him to death there.

Ka ko eni, naʻa nau teuteu ke fai ʻae lapa kiate ia ʻi Selūsalema: pea naʻa ne hola ki Lakisi; ka naʻa nau fekau ke tuli ia ki Lakisi, pea naʻa nau tāmate ia ʻi ai.

20 And they took his body on horseback and put it into the earth with his fathers in Jerusalem, the town of David.

Pea naʻa nau fakaheka ia mo ʻomi ia ʻi he fanga hoosi: pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi Selūsalema fakataha mo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita.

21 Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.

Pea naʻe ʻave ʻa ʻAsalia ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻi hono hongofulu ma nima ʻo ʻene taʻu, mo nau fakanofo ia ke tuʻi ko e fetongi ʻo ʻene tamai ko ʻAmasia.

22 He was the builder of Elath, which he got back for Judah after the death of the king.

Naʻa ne langa ʻe ia ʻa ʻElati, mo ne toe ʻange ia ki Siuta, ʻi he ʻene hili ʻae mohe ʻae tuʻi ki heʻene ngaahi tamai.

23 In the fifteenth year of the rule of Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel, became king in Samaria, ruling for forty-one years.

ʻI hono hongofulu ma nima ʻoe taʻu ʻa ʻAmasia ko e foha ʻo Soasi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, naʻe kamata pule ʻi Samēlia ʻa Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Soasi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu ma taha.

24 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not turning away from the sin which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do.

Pea naʻa ne fai ʻe ia ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: naʻe ʻikai mahuʻi ia mei he ngaahi angahala ʻa Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, ʻaia naʻe fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli.

25 He got back the old limits of Israel from the way into Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, as the Lord had said by his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet of Gath-hepher.

Naʻa ne toe fokotuʻu ʻae ngataʻanga ʻo ʻIsileli mei he hūʻanga ʻo Hemati ʻo aʻu ki he tahi ʻoe potu tokalelei, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki ʻi heʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Siona, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmitai, ko e palōfita, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Katihefeli.

26 For the Lord saw how bitter was the trouble of Israel, and that everyone was cut off, he who was shut up and he who went free, and that Israel had no helper.

He naʻe ʻafioʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae mamahi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻa ʻene kovi lahi ʻaupito: he naʻe ʻikai kei ai ha niʻihi naʻe nofo ʻi lotoʻā pe ʻalu kituʻa, pe ha taha ke tokoni ʻa ʻIsileli.

27 And the Lord had not said that the name of Israel was to be taken away from the earth; but he gave them a saviour in Jeroboam, the son of Joash.

Pea naʻe ʻikai pehē ʻe Sihova te ne tāmateʻi ʻae hingoa ʻo ʻIsileli mei he lalo langi: ka naʻa ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻi he nima ʻo Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Soasi.

28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all he did, and his power, and how he went to war with Damascus, causing the wrath of the Lord to be turned away from Israel, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

Pea ko eni, ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Selopoami, mo e meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, pea mo ʻene mālohi, ʻae anga ʻo ʻene faʻa tau, pea mo e meʻa naʻa ne toe maʻu ai ʻa Tamasikusi, mo Hemati, ʻaia naʻe kau ki Siuta, ke ʻia ʻIsileli ia, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?

29 And Jeroboam went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son became king in his place.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Selopoami mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli; pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko Sakalia.
