1 Kings 22
1 And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
Pea naʻa nau nofo pe ʻo tolu taʻu mo e taʻefai ha tau ʻe Silia mo ʻIsileli.
2 And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki hono tolu ʻoe taʻu, naʻe hoko hifo ʻa Sihosafate ko e tuʻi Siuta ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
3 And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know all of you that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻoku ʻotautolu ʻa Lemoti ʻi Kiliati, ka ʻoku tau nofo noa pe, mo taʻetoʻoa mai ia mei he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Silia?”
4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Will you go with me to battle to Ramothgilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.
Pea naʻa ne pehē kia Sihosafate, “Te ke fie ʻalu mo au ki he tau ki Lemoti-Kiliati?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “ʻOku ou hangē ko koe, mo ʻeku kakai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo kakai, mo ʻeku fanga hoosi ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fanga hoosi.”
5 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray you, at the word of the LORD to day.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “ʻOku ou kole, ke ke fakafehuʻi he ʻaho ni ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.”
6 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
Pea naʻe toki tānaki mai fakataha ʻae kau tangata kikite ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e kau tangata ʻe toko fāngeau nai, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Te u ʻalu atu ke tauʻi ʻa Lemoti-Kiliati pe ʻikai?” Pea naʻa nau pehē, “ʻAlu hake; he koeʻuhi ʻe tuku mai ia ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi.”
7 And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate, “ʻIkai ʻoku ʻi heni ha palōfita foki ʻa Sihova, koeʻuhi ke tau fehuʻi meiate ia?”
8 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia Sihosafate, “ʻOku ai mo e tangata ʻe tokotaha, ko Mikaia ko e foha ʻo Imila, ʻaia te tau faʻa fehuʻi ai kia Sihova: ka ʻoku ou fehiʻa kiate ia; he ʻoku ʻikai faʻa kikite ʻaki ʻe ia ha lelei kiate au, ka ko e kovi.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate, “Ke ʻoua naʻa lea pehē ʻe he tuʻi.”
9 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten here Micaiah the son of Imlah.
Pea naʻe toki ui mai ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ha matāpule, ʻo ne pehē, “Omi ke vave ʻa Mikaia ko e foha ʻo Imila.”
10 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
Pea naʻe nofo ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, mo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, taki taha ki hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi, pea kuo na ʻai hona ngaahi kofu fakatuʻi, ʻi he potu ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matanikolo ʻo Samēlia; pea naʻe kikite ʻi hona ʻao ʻae kau kikite kotoa pē.
11 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and he said, Thus says the LORD, With these shall you push the Syrians, until you have consumed them.
Pea naʻe ngaohi maʻana ʻe Setikia ko e foha ʻo Kinana, ʻae ngaahi nifo ukamea: pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Ko eni ia te ke tekeʻi ʻaki ʻae kakai Silia, kaeʻoua ke fakaʻauha kinautolu.’”
12 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the king's hand.
Pea naʻe pehē pe ʻae kikite ʻae kau kikite kotoa pē, ʻo [nau ]pehē, “ʻAlu hake ki Lemoti-Kiliati, pea[mou ]monūʻia: koeʻuhi ʻe tuku ia ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi.”
13 And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spoke unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let your word, I pray you, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good.
Pea naʻe lea kia Mikaia ʻe he talafekau naʻe ʻalu ke ui kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Vakai mai, ʻOku ngutu taha pe ʻae kau kikite ʻi he lea ʻaki ʻae lelei ki he tuʻi: ko ia ʻoku ou kole ke ke tuku hoʻo lea ke tatau mo e lea ʻa ha taha ʻiate kinautolu, pea ke lea ʻaki ʻae lelei.”
14 And Micaiah said, As the LORD lives, what the LORD says unto me, that will I speak.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mikaia, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea ko ia ʻoku folofolaʻaki kiate au ʻe Sihova, ko ia pe te u leaʻaki.
15 So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
Pea naʻe haʻu ia ki he tuʻi. Pea naʻe pehē kiate ia ʻe he tuʻi, “ʻE Mikaia, te ma ʻalu hake ke tauʻi ʻa Lemoti-Kiliati, pe ʻikai?” Pea naʻa ne tali ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu, pea mo monūʻia: koeʻuhi ʻe tuku mai ia ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi.”
16 And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure you that you tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the LORD?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “ʻE tuʻo fiha ʻa ʻeku takitalaʻi koe ke ʻoua naʻa ke fakahā mai ha meʻa ka ko ia pe ʻoku moʻoni ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova?”
17 And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Naʻaku mamata ki he fakamovetevete ʻo ʻIsileli kātoa ʻi he ngaahi funga moʻunga, ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi ʻoku ʻikai hanau tauhi: pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻeiki kiate kinautolu ni: tuku ke nau taki taha ʻalu ʻae tangata ki hono fale ʻi he melino.
18 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell you that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia Sihosafate, “ʻIkai naʻaku tala kiate koe, ʻe ʻikai te ne kikite ʻaki ha lelei kiate au, ka ko e kovi?”
19 And he said, Hear you therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Ko ia foki, fanongo koe ki he folofola ʻa Sihova: naʻaku mamata ki he ʻafio ʻa Sihova ki hono ʻafioʻanga, pea mo e tutuʻu ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu mo hono nima toʻohema ʻae ngaahi tokolahi kotoa pē ʻoe langi.
20 And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Ko hai te ne fakalotoʻi ʻa ʻEhapi ke ne ʻalu hake mo hinga ʻi Lemoti-Kiliati?’ Pea naʻe pehē ʻae lea ʻae tokotaha, kae pehē ʻe he tokotaha kehe.
21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him.
Pea naʻe hū mai ha laumālie, ʻo ne tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Te u fakalotoʻi ia ʻeau.’
22 And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, You shall persude him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, ‘ʻO fēfeeʻi?’ Pea naʻa ne pehē, ‘Te u ʻalu atu, pea te u hoko ko e laumālie loi ʻi he ngutu ʻo ʻene kau kikite kotoa pē.’ Pea naʻa ne pehē, ‘Te ke fakalotoʻi ia, pea te ke lavaʻi foki: ʻalu atu, mo ke fai pehē.’”
23 Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets, and the LORD has spoken evil concerning you.
Pea ko ia foki, “Vakai, kuo ʻai ʻe Sihova ha laumālie loi ki he ngutu ʻoe kau tangata kikite na ʻoʻou, pea kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻae kovi kiate koe.”
24 But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and stroke Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto you?
Ka naʻe ʻalu atu ke ofi ʻa Setikia ko e foha ʻo Kinana, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻa Mikaia ʻi hono kouʻahe, mo ne pehē, “Naʻe ʻalu ʻi he hala fē ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova meiate au ke lea kiate koe?”
25 And Micaiah said, Behold, you shall see in that day, when you shall go into an inner chamber to hide yourself.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mikaia, “Vakai, te ke toki mamata ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻaia te ke hū atu ai ki he ngaahi loki ke fakafufū koe.”
26 And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “Puke ʻa Mikaia, pea toe ʻave ia kia ʻAmoni ko e pule ʻoe kolo, pea kia Soasi ko e foha ʻoe tuʻi;
27 And say, Thus says the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.
Pea fakahā ange, ʻOku pehē ʻe he tuʻi, ʻAi ʻae siana ni ki he fale pōpula, pea fafangaʻaki ia ʻae mā ʻoe fakamamahi mo e vai ʻoe fakamamahi ʻo aʻu ki heʻeku [toe ]haʻu ʻi he melino.”
28 And Micaiah said, If you return at all in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mikaia, “Kapau te ke toe foki mai ʻi he melino, tā kuo ʻikai folofola ʻa Sihova ʻiate au.” Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Mou fanongo kotoa pē, ʻakimoutolu ko e kakai.”
29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, mo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ki Lemoti-Kiliati.
30 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but put you on your robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia Sihosafate, Te u fakapulipuli au, ʻi heʻeku hū atu ki he tau; ka ke ʻai ʻe koe ʻaho ngaahi kofu fakatuʻi. Pea naʻe fakapulipuli ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ka ka ʻalu atu ki he tau.
31 But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel.
Ka naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Silia ki heʻene ʻeiki ʻe toko tolungofulu ma ua naʻe pule ki heʻene ngaahi saliote ʻo pehē, ʻOua naʻa mo tau mo ia ʻoku siʻi pe ko ia ʻoku lahi, ka ko e tuʻi pe ʻo ʻIsileli.
32 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.
Pea ʻi he mamata ē ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi saliote kia Sihosafate, naʻa nau pehē, ko eni moʻoni ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli. Pea naʻa nau foki atu ke tau mo ia: pea naʻe kalanga atu ʻa Sihosafate.
33 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻe he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi saliote naʻe ʻikai ko e tuʻi ia ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻa nau foki atu mei heʻenau tuli kiate ia.
34 And a certain man drew a bow at random, and stroke the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn your hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.
Pea naʻe teke noa pe ʻe ha tangata ʻae kaufana, pea naʻe fanaʻi ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he vahaʻa hokoʻanga ʻo ʻene mahafutau: ko ia naʻa ne pehē ai ki he tangata naʻe fakahinoʻi ʻa ʻene saliote, “Fakatafoki atu ho nima,” pea ke ʻave au mei he tau: he kuo u lavea.
35 And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.
Pea naʻe tupu ʻo lahi ʻae tau ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: pea naʻe poupou hake ʻae tuʻi ʻi hono saliote ke tauʻi ʻae kakai Silia, pea naʻe pekia ia ʻi he efiafi: pea naʻe tafe ʻae toto mei he matalavea ki he loto saliote.
36 And there went a proclamation throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country.
Pea feʻunga mo e tō hifo ʻae laʻā, naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae fanongonongo ki he kautau, ʻo pehē, “Ke ʻalu ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono kolo, mo e tangata taki taha ki hono fonua ʻoʻona.”
37 So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
Naʻe pehē ʻae pekia ʻae tuʻi, pea naʻe ʻomi ia ki Samēlia: pea naʻa nau fai ʻae putu ʻoe tuʻi ʻi Samēlia.
38 And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armour; according unto the word of the LORD which he spoke.
Pea naʻe fufulu ʻae saliote ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi he vaikeli ʻo Samēlia; pea naʻe ʻemo hake ʻe he fanga kulī ʻa hono toto pea naʻa nau fufulu ʻa ʻene mahafutau ʻo fakatatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki.
39 Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Pea ko eni, ko e toenga ngāue ʻa ʻEhapi, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, mo e fale lei naʻa ne ngaohi, mo e ngaahi kolo kotoa pē naʻa ne langa, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?
40 So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his position.
Ko ia, naʻe mohe ʻa ʻEhapi mo ʻene ngaahi tamai; pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko ʻAhasia.
41 And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
Pea naʻe kamata pule ʻa Sihosafate ko e foha ʻo ʻAsa ki Siuta ʻi hono fā ʻoe taʻu ʻo ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
42 Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
Naʻe tolungofulu ma nima ʻae taʻu ʻo Sihosafate ʻi heʻene kamata pule; pea naʻa ne pule ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu ma nima. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko ʻAsupa ko e ʻofefine ʻo Sili.
43 And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places.
Pea naʻa ne ʻeveʻeva ʻi he hala kotoa pē ʻo ʻene tamai ko ʻAsa; naʻe ʻikai te ne tafoki mei ai, ʻo ne fai ʻaia naʻe lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: ka neongo ia naʻe ʻikai ʻave ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga; naʻe kei fai feilaulau mo tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻe he kakai ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga.
44 And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
Pea naʻe alea ʻa Sihosafate mo e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ke na melino pe.
45 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Pea ko eni, ko e toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sihosafate, mo e mālohi naʻe hā ʻiate ia, mo ʻene faʻa tau, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?
46 And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land.
Pea ko e toenga kakai angafakasotoma ʻaia naʻe toe ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻene tamai ko ʻAsa, naʻa ne ʻave mei he fonua.
47 There was then no king in Edom: a deputy was king.
ʻI he kuonga ko ia naʻe ʻikai ha tuʻi ʻi ʻItomi: ka naʻe pule ha tokotaha maʻae tuʻi.
48 Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Eziongeber.
Naʻe maʻu ʻe Sihosafate ʻae ngaahi vaka mei Tasisi ke folau ki Ofeli ke ʻomi koula; ka naʻe ʻikai hoko ʻae folau; he naʻe maumauʻi ʻae ngaahi vaka ʻi Esioni-Kepa.
49 Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with your servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.
Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe ʻAhasia ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi kia Sihosafate, Tuku ke ʻalu ʻa ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki fakataha mo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi he folau. Ka naʻe ʻikai loto ki ai ʻa Sihosafate.
50 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son reigned in his position.
Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Sihosafate mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe fai hono putu ki he [potu ]ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita ko ʻene tamai: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Siholami ko hono foha.
51 Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel.
Naʻe kamata pule ʻa ʻAhasia ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi ki ʻIsileli ʻi Samēlia ʻi hono hongofulu ma fitu ʻoe taʻu ʻo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe ua ʻi ʻIsileli.
52 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin:
Pea naʻa ne fai kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, mo ne ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻo ʻene tamai mo e hala ʻo ʻene faʻē, pea ʻi he hala ʻo Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, ʻaia naʻa ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli:
53 For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
He naʻa ne tauhi kia Peali, mo ne lotu kiate ia, mo ne fakatupu ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe heʻene tamai.
