2 Tuʻi 17
1 ʻI hono hongofulu ma ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo ʻAhasi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta naʻe kamata pule ki ʻIsileli ʻi Samēlia ʻa Hosea ko e foha ʻo Ela, ʻi he taʻu ʻe hiva.
In the twelfth year of Achaz king of Juda began Osee the son of Ela to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.
2 Pea naʻa ne fai kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ka naʻe ʻikai ke hangē ia ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaia naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻiate ia.
And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord, only not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
3 Naʻe haʻu kiate ia ʻa Salimanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ko hono tauʻi; pea naʻe fakatokalalo kiate ia ʻa Hosea, pea naʻa ne foaki ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa kiate ia.
Against him came up Salamanassar king of the Assyrians; and Osee became his servant, and rendered him tribute.
4 Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ʻae teu lapa ʻe Hosea: he kuo fekau atu ʻe ia ʻae kau talafekau kia So ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻomi ʻae meʻaʻofa ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa ne faʻa fai ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē; ko ia naʻe fakahū ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ki he fale pōpula, mo ne haʻi ia ʻi he fale pōpula.
And the king of the Assyrians found iniquity in Osee, in that he sent messengers to Segor king of Egypt, and brought not a tribute to the king of the Assyrians in that year: and the king of the Assyrians besieged him, and bound him in the prison-house.
5 Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ki he potu kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, mo ne ʻalu hake ki Samēlia, mo ne kāpui ia ʻaki ʻae tau ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolu.
And the king of the Assyrians went up against all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it [for] three years.
6 Pea ʻi hono hiva ʻoe taʻu ʻo Hosea naʻe lavaʻi ʻa Samēlia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻae kakai ʻIsileli ki ʻAsilia, mo ne tuku ʻakinautolu ʻi Hala pea ʻi Hapoa ki he vaitafe ʻo Kosani, pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻae kakai Mitia.
In the ninth year of Osee the king of the Assyrians took Samaria, and carried Israel away to the Assyrians, and settled them in Alae, and in Abor, [near] the rivers of Gozan, and [in] the mountains of the Medes.
7 He naʻe pehē, kuo fai angahala ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he lalo nima ʻo Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, pea kuo nau manavahē ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe.
For it came to pass that the children of Israel [had] transgressed against the Lord their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharao king of Egypt, and they feared other gods,
8 Pea kuo nau ʻaʻeva ʻi he ngaahi fekau ʻae kakai hiteni, ʻakinautolu naʻe kapusi atu ʻe Sihova mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli naʻa nau fakanofo.
and walked in the statutes of the nations which the Lord cast out before the face of the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel as many as did [such things],
9 Pea naʻe fai fakafufū ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe ʻikai totonu kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, pea naʻa nau langa moʻonautolu ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻi honau ngaahi kolo kotoa pē, mei he foʻi fale māʻolunga ʻoe kau leʻo ʻo fai hake ki he kolo naʻe fakaʻā.
and [in those] of the children of Israel as many as secretly practised customs, not as [they should have done], against the Lord their God:
10 Pea naʻa nau fokotuʻu maʻanautolu ʻae ngaahi tamapua, mo e ngaahi vao tapu ʻi he tafungofunga māʻolunga kotoa pē, pea ʻi he lolo ʻakau mata kotoa pē:
and they built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city. And they made for themselves pillars and groves on every high hill, and under every shady tree.
11 Pea naʻa nau tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻi he potu māʻolunga kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko e hiteni ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha atu mei honau ʻao ʻe Sihova; pea naʻa nau fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kovi ke fakatupu ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova:
And burned incense there on all high places, as the nations [did] whom the Lord removed from before them, and dealt with familiar spirits, and they carved [images] to provoke the Lord to anger.
12 He naʻa nau tauhi ki he ngaahi tamapua, ʻaia naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu, ʻE ʻikai te mou fai ʻae meʻa ni.
And they served the idols, of which the Lord said to them, Ye shall not do this thing [against] the Lord.
13 Ka naʻe valokiekina ʻe Sihova ki ʻIsileli pea ki Siuta ʻi heʻene kau palōfita kotoa pē mo e kau kikite kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “Ke tafoki ʻakimoutolu mei homou ngaahi hala kovi, pea tauhi ki heʻeku ngaahi fekau mo ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻo fakatatau mo e fono kotoa pē ko ia ʻaia naʻaku fekau ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, peau fekauʻi kiate kimoutolu ʻi heʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita.”
And the Lord testified against Israel and against Juda, even by the hand of all his prophets, [and] of every seer, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my ordinances, and all the law which I commanded your fathers, [and] all that I sent to them by the hand of my servants the prophets.
14 Ka neongo ia naʻe ʻikai te nau fie ongoʻi, ka naʻa nau fakakekeva ʻa honau kia, ʻo hangē ko e kia ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai tui kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua.
But they hearkened not, and made their neck harder than the neck of their fathers.
15 Pea naʻa nau siʻaki ʻa ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, pea mo ʻene fuakava ʻaia naʻa ne fai mo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, mo ʻene ngaahi fakamoʻoni naʻa ne fakamoʻoni ʻaki kiate kinautolu; pea naʻa nau muimui ki he vaʻinga, pea naʻa nau hoko ʻo vaʻinga, mo nau muimui ki he kakai hiteni naʻe nofo takatakai ʻiate kinautolu, ʻaia naʻe fekau ai ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa nau fai ʻo hangē ko kinautolu.
And they kept not any of his testimonies which he charged them; and they walked after vanities, and became vain, and after the nations round about them, concerning which the Lord had charged them not to do accordingly.
16 Pea naʻa nau siʻaki ʻae ngaahi fekau kotoa pē ʻo Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, pea naʻa nau ngaohi maʻanautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakatātā naʻe haka, ʻio, ʻae ʻuhiki pulu ʻe ua, mo nau ngaohi ha vao tapu, mo nau lotu ki he nāunau kotoa pē ʻoe langi, mo nau tauhi kia Peali.
They forsook the commandments of the Lord their God, and made themselves graven images, [even] two heifers, and they made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.
17 Pea naʻa nau pule ki honau ngaahi foha mo honau ngaahi ʻofefine ke nau ʻalu atu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe afi, pea naʻa nau fai fakatēvolo mo nau fai ʻae sausau, pea naʻa nau fakatau atu ʻakinautolu ke fai ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke fakatupu ai ʻa hono houhau.
And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divinations and auspices, and sold themselves to work wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him.
18 Ko ia naʻe houhau lahi ai ʻa Sihova ki ʻIsileli, mo ne fetuku atu ʻakinautolu mei hono ʻao: naʻe ʻikai tuku ha taha ka ko e faʻahinga pe taha ʻo Siuta.
And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight; and there was only left the tribe of Juda quite alone.
19 Pea naʻa mo Siuta naʻe ʻikai tauhi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, ka naʻa nau ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaia naʻa nau fokotuʻu ʻekinautolu.
Nay even Juda kept not the commandments of the Lord their God, but they walked according to the customs of Israel which they practised, and rejected the Lord.
20 Pea naʻe siʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻae hako kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, mo ne fakamamahi ʻakinautolu, mo ne tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻoe kau maumau, kaeʻoua ke ʻosi ʻa ʻene liʻaki ʻakinautolu mei hono ʻao.
And the Lord was angry with the whole seed of Israel, and troubled them, and gave them into the hand of them that spoiled them, until he cast them out of his presence.
21 He naʻa ne haea mai ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fale ʻo Tevita; pea naʻa nau fakanofo ke tuʻi ʻa Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati: pea naʻe teketekeʻi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe Selopoami mei he muimui kia Sihova, pea naʻa ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he angahala lahi.
Forasmuch as Israel revolted from the house of David, and they made Jeroboam the son of Nabat king: and Jeroboam drew off Israel from following the Lord, and led them to sin a great sin.
22 He naʻe ʻaʻeva ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi angahala kotoa pē ʻa Selopoami ʻaia naʻa ne fai; naʻe ʻikai mahuʻi ʻakinautolu mei ai;
And the children of Israel walked in all the sin of Jeroboam which he committed; they departed not from it,
23 Pea naʻe hiki atu ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe Sihova mei hono ʻao, ʻo hangē ko e folofola naʻa ne fai ʻi heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita kotoa pē. Ko ia naʻe fetuku atu ai ʻa ʻIsileli mei honau fonua ʻonautolu ki ʻAsilia ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.
until the Lord removed Israel from his presence, as the Lord spoke by all his servants the prophets; and Israel was removed from off their land to the Assyrians until this day.
24 Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ʻae kakai mei Papilone, pea mei Kuta, pea mei ʻAva, pea mei Hemati, pea mei Sifaveimi, mo ne tuku ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Samēlia, ko e fetongi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻa Samēlia, mo nofo ʻi hono ngaahi kolo ʻo ia.
And the king of Assyria brought from Babylon the men of Chutha, [and men] from Aia, and from Aemath, and Seppharvaim, and they were settled in the cities of Samaria in the place of the children of Israel: and they inherited Samaria, and were settled in its cities.
25 Pea ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻo ʻenau nofo ʻi ai, naʻe ʻikai te nau manavahē kia Sihova: pea ko ia naʻe tuku atu ai ʻe Sihova ʻae fanga laione kiate kinautolu, pea naʻe mate ai ʻa honau niʻihi.
And it was so at the beginning of their establishment there [that] they feared not the Lord, and the Lord sent lions among them, and they slew some of them.
26 Ko ia naʻa nau lea ai ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻo pehē, ʻOku ʻikai ʻilo ʻae anga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoe fonua ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga kuo ke hiki mo tuku ki he ngaahi kolo ʻo Samēlia: ko ia kuo ne fekau atu ʻae fanga laione kiate kinautolu, pea vakai, ʻoku nau tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻilo ʻekinautolu ʻae anga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoe fonua.
And they spoke to the king of the Assyrians, saying, The nations whom thou hast removed and substituted in the cities of Samaria [for the Israelites], know not the manner of the God of the land: and he has sent the lions against them, and, behold, they are slaying them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
27 Pea naʻe toki fekau ai ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻo pehē, “ʻAve ki ai ha tokotaha ʻi he kau taulaʻeiki ʻaia naʻa mou ʻomi mei ai; pea tuku ke nau ʻalu ʻo nofo ʻi ai, pea tuku ke ne akoʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he anga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoe fonua.”
And the king of the Assyrians commanded, saying, Bring some [Israelites] thence, and let them go and dwell there, and they shall teach them the manner of the God of the land.
28 Pea naʻe toki haʻu ai ha tokotaha ʻi he kau taulaʻeiki ʻaia naʻa nau ʻave mei Samēlia ʻo ne nofo ʻi Peteli, pea naʻa ne akonakiʻi ʻakinautolu ke nau manavahē kia Sihova.
And they brought one of the priests whom they had removed from Samaria, and he settled in Baethel, and taught them how they should fear the Lord.
29 Ka naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga taki taha ʻa hono ngaahi ʻotua ʻonautolu, mo nau ʻai ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi fale ʻoe ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe he kakai Samēlia, ko e taki taha ʻae puleʻanga ʻi he ngaahi kolo naʻa nau nofo ki ai.
But the nations made each their own gods, and put them in the house of the high places which the Samaritans [had] made, each nation in the cities in which they dwelt.
30 Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he kakai ʻo Papilone ʻa Sukote-Pinoti, pea ʻe he kakai ʻo Kuta naʻe fokotuʻu ʻa Nelikali, pea ʻe he kakai ʻo Hemati naʻe fokotuʻu ʻa ʻAsima,
And the men of Babylon made Socchoth Benith, and the men of Chuth made Ergel, and the men of Haemath made Asimath.
31 Pea ʻe he kakai ʻAvi naʻe fokotuʻu ʻa Nipasi mo Talitaki, pea ʻe he kakai Sifaveimi naʻe tutu ʻenau fānau ʻi he afi kia ʻAtilameleki mo ʻAnameleki, ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻo Sifaveimi.
And the Evites made Eblazer and Tharthac, and the [inhabitant] of Seppharvaim [did evil] when they burnt their sons in the fire to Adramelech and Anemelech, the gods of Seppharvaim.
32 Ko ia naʻa nau manavahē kia Sihova, pea naʻa nau ngaohi kiate kinautolu mei he kakai meʻavale ʻaupito ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ki he ngaahi potu māʻolunga, pea naʻa nau fai feilaulau ʻekinautolu ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoe ngaahi potu māʻolunga maʻanautolu.
And they feared the Lord, yet they established their abominations in the houses of the high places which they made in Samaria, each nation in the city in which they dwelt: and they feared the Lord, and they made for themselves priests of the high places, and sacrificed for themselves in the house of the high places.
33 Naʻa nau manavahē kia Sihova, kae tauhi pe ki honau ngaahi ʻotua ʻonautolu, ʻo hangē ko e anga ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga naʻa nau ʻave pōpula mei ai.
And they feared the Lord, and served their gods according to the manner of the nations, whence [their lords] brought them.
34 ʻOku nau fai ki heʻenau anga ʻi muʻa ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni: ʻoku ʻikai te nau manavahē kia Sihova, pea ʻoku ʻikai fai ʻekinautolu ke tatau mo ʻenau ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, pe ko ʻenau ngaahi fekau, pe hangē ko e fono mo e fekau ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ki he fānau ʻa Sēkope, ʻaia naʻa ne fakahingoa ko ʻIsileli;
Until this day they did according to their manner: they fear [the Lord], and they do according to their customs, and according to their manner, and according to the law, and according to the commandment which the Lord commanded the sons of Jacob, whose name he made Israel.
35 ʻAia naʻe fai ʻe Sihova mo ia ha fuakava, pea naʻa ne valoki ʻakinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te mou manavahē ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, pe fakatōmapeʻe ʻakimoutolu kiate kinautolu, pe tauhi ki ai, pe feilaulau kiate kinautolu:
And the Lord made a covenant with them, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, neither shall ye worship them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:
36 Ka ko Sihova ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻi he mālohi lahi, mo e nima naʻe mafao atu, ko ia ia te mou manavahē ki ai, pea ko ia ia te mou lotu ki ai, pea ko ia ia te mou fai ki ai ʻae feilaulau.
but only to the Lord, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great strength and with a high arm: him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship; to him shall ye sacrifice.
37 Pea ko e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo e ngaahi fakamaau, pea mo e fono, mo e fekau, ʻaia naʻa ne tohi maʻamoutolu, te mou tokanga ke fai ia ʻo lauikuonga; pea ʻe ʻikai te mou manavahē ki ha ngaahi ʻotua kehe.
Ye shall observe continually the ordinances, and the judgments, and the law, and the commandments which he wrote for you to do; and ye shall not fear other gods.
38 Pea ko e fuakava ʻaia kuo u fai mo kimoutolu, ʻe ʻikai te mou fakangaloʻi; pea ʻe ʻikai foki te mou manavahē ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe.
Neither shall ye forget the covenant which he made with you: and ye shall not fear other gods.
39 Ka te mou manavahē kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua; pea te ne fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu mei he nima ʻo homou ngaahi fili kotoa pē.”
But ye shall fear the Lord your God, and he shall deliver you from all your enemies.
40 Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo, pea naʻa nau fai pe ʻo hangē ko ʻenau muʻaki anga.
Neither shall ye comply with their practice, which they follow.
41 Ko ia, naʻe manavahē ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ko ia kia Sihova, ka naʻa nau tauhi ki he ngaahi meʻa fakatātā naʻe tongi, ʻa ʻenau fānau mo e fānau ʻo ʻenau fānau: ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe heʻenau ngaahi tamai, kuo pehē pe ʻenau fai ʻekinautolu ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.
So these nations feared the Lord, and served their graven images: yea, their sons and their son's sons do until this day even as their fathers did.
