< 2 Kings 14 >

1 In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel began Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah to reign.
‌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 and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem: and 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 And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, yet not like David his father: he did according to all that 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 Howbeit the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense 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 And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, that he slew his servants which had slain 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 the children of the murderers he put not to death: according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.
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 slew of Edom in the Valley of Salt ten thousand, and took Sela by war, and called the name of it Joktheel, unto 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 messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the 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 the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.
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 Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thine heart hath lifted thee up: glory thereof, and abide at home; for why shouldest thou meddle to [thy] hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
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 would not hear. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to 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 put to the worse before Israel; and they fled 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 took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubists.
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 that were found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned 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 which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles 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 slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.
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 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
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 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles 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 And they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him 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 brought him upon horses: and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city 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 And all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room 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 built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.
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 Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, [and reigned] forty and 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 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin.
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 restored the border of Israel from the entering in of Hamath unto the sea of the Arabah, according to the word of the LORD, the God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was 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 the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter: for there was none shut up nor left at large, neither was there any helper for Israel.
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 said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of 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 that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, [which had belonged] to Judah, for Israel, are they hot written in the book of the chronicles 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 slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his stead.
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.
