2 Meʻa Hokohoko 16

1 ‌ʻI he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma ono ʻoe pule ʻa ʻAsa, naʻe haʻu ʻa Paʻasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ke tauʻi ʻa Siuta, pea langa ʻe ia ʻa Lama, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ʻalu kituaʻā ha niʻihi pe haʻu ki loto kia ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta.

In the sixe and thirtieth yeere of the reigne of Asa came Baasha king of Israel vp against Iudah, and built Ramah to let none passe out or goe in to Asa king of Iudah.

2 Pea naʻe ʻomi kituʻa ʻe ʻAsa ʻae siliva mo e koula mei he ngaahi fale koloa ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, pea mei he fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea ne ʻave ia kia Peni-Hatati ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Tamasikusi, ʻo pehē,

Then Asa brought out siluer and gold out of the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the Kings house, and sent to Benhadad King of Aram that dwelt at Damascus, saying,

3 “ʻOku ai ʻae lea ʻiate au mo koe, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe ʻi heʻeku tamai mo hoʻo tamai: vakai ʻoku ou ʻatu ni ʻae siliva mo e koula: ke ke ʻalu, pea maumauʻi hoʻo alea papau mo Paʻasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke ʻalu ia ʻiate au.”

There is a couenant betweene me and thee, and betweene my father and thy father: behold, I haue sent thee siluer and golde: come, breake thy league with Baasha King of Israel that hee may depart from me.

4 Pea naʻe tokanga ʻa Peni-Hatati ki he tuʻi ko ʻAsa, pea ne fekau ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki pule ʻo ʻene ngaahi tau ke tauʻi ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo ʻIsileli: pea naʻa nau teʻia ʻa Isoni, mo Tani, mo ʻEpelimeimi, mo e ngaahi kolo tukunga koloa kotoa pē ʻo Nafitali.

And Benhadad hearkened vnto King Asa, and sent the captaines of the armies which hee had, against the cities of Israel. And they smote Iion, and Dan, and Abel-maim, and all the store cities of Naphtali.

5 Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻe Paʻasa, naʻa ne tuku ʻene langa ʻa Lama, pea tuku liʻaki pe ʻene ngāue.

And when Baasha heard it, he left building of Ramah, and let his worke cease.

6 Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻa Siuta kotoa pē mo ia: pea naʻa nau fetuku ʻo ʻave ʻae ngaahi maka kotoa pē ʻo Lama, pea mo e ngaahi ʻakau ʻi ai, ʻaia naʻe langa ʻaki ʻe Paʻasa: pea naʻa ne langa ʻaki ʻe ia ʻa Kepa mo Misipa.

Then Asa the King tooke all Iudah, and caryed away the stones of Ramah and the tymber thereof, wherewith Baasha did builde, and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.

7 Pea ʻi he kuonga ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻa Hanani, ko e tangata kikite kia ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo falala ki he tuʻi ʻo Silia, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke falala kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ko ia kuo hao ʻo hola ʻae tau ʻae tuʻi ʻo Silia mei ho nima.

And at that same time Hanani the Seer came to Asa King of Iudah, and saide vnto him, Because thou hast rested vpon the king of Aram, and not rested in the Lord thy God, therefore is the hoste of the King of Aram escaped out of thine hande.

8 ‌ʻIkai ko e fuʻu tau lahi ʻae kakai ʻItiopea mo e kakai Lupimi, mo e ngaahi saliote lahi mo e kau tangata heka hoosi? Ka ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo falala kia Sihova, naʻa ne tuku mai ʻakinautolu ki ho nima.

The Ethiopians and the Lubims, were they not a great hoste with charets and horsemen, exceeding many? yet because thou diddest rest vpon the Lord, he deliuered them into thine had.

9 He ʻoku lele fetoutou mo liliu ʻaki ʻae fofonga ʻo Sihova ʻi māmani kotoa pē, ke fakahā mālohi ʻa ʻene ʻafio ke kau mo kinautolu ʻoku tokanga totonu honau loto kiate ia. ʻI he meʻa ni kuo ke fai fakavalevale: pea mei he kuonga ko eni te ke moʻua koe ʻi he ngaahi tau.”

For the eyes of the Lord beholde all the earth to shewe him selfe strong with them that are of perfite heart towarde him: thou hast then done foolishly in this: therefore from henceforth thou shalt haue warres.

10 Pea naʻe ʻita lahi ʻa ʻAsa ki he tangata kikite, pea ne tuku ia ki he fale fakapōpula: he naʻe lili ia kiate ia koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni. Pea naʻe pule kakaha ʻa ʻAsa ki he kakai niʻihi ʻi he kuonga ko ia.

Then Asa was wroth with the Seer, and put him into a prison: for he was displeased with him, because of this thing. And Asa oppressed certaine of the people at the same time.

11 Pea vakai, ko e ngaahi ngāue ʻa ʻAsa, ko e muʻaki mo e kimui, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta mo ʻIsileli.

And behold, the actes of Asa first and last, loe, they are written in the booke of the Kings of Iudah and Israel.

12 Pea naʻe mahaki ʻa ʻAsa ʻi hono vaʻe, ʻi hono tolungofulu ma hiva taʻu ʻo ʻene pule, pea naʻe tupu ʻo lahi ʻaupito ʻene mahaki: ka ʻi heʻene mahaki naʻe ʻikai kumi ia kia Sihova, ka ki he kau faitoʻo.

And Asa in the nine and thirtieth yeere of his reigne was diseased in his feete, and his disease was extreme: yet he sought not the Lord in his disease, but to the Phisicions.

13 Pea naʻe mohe ʻa ʻAsa mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea pekia ia ʻi hono fāngofulu ma taha taʻu ʻo ʻene pule.

So Asa slept with his fathers, and dyed in the one and fourtieth yeere of his reigne.

14 Pea naʻa nau fai hono putu ki hono fonualoto ʻoʻona, ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi moʻona ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita, pea naʻe tuku ia ki he mohenga naʻe fakafonu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa namu kakala kehekehe naʻe teuʻi ʻe he kakai naʻe poto ʻi he ngāue ko ia: pea naʻa nau fai ʻae tutu lahi ʻaupito maʻana.

And they buryed him in one of his sepulchres, which he had made for him selfe in the citie of Dauid, and layed him in the bed, which they had filled with sweete odours and diuers kindes of spices made by the arte of the apoticarie: and they burnt odours for him with an exceeding great fire.
