< 2 Chronicles 22 >

1 Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem appointed his youngest son, Ahaziah, as king in his place. For the robbers of the Arabians, who had fallen upon the camp, had put to death all those who were greater by birth before him. And so Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, reigned as king of Judah.
Pea naʻe fakanofo ʻe he kakai ʻo Selūsalema ʻa ʻAhasia ko hono foha ki mui ke tuʻi ko hono fetongi: he ko e kau tangata naʻe haʻu mo e kau ʻAlepea ki he ʻapitanga naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻae ngaahi taʻokete kotoa pē. Ko ia, naʻe pule ʻa ʻAhasia ko e foha ʻo Siholami ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta.
2 Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri.
Naʻe uofulu ma ua taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo ʻAhasia ʻi heʻene hoko ʻo pule, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi he taʻu pe taha ʻi Selūsalema. Ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko ʻAtalia ko e ʻofefine ʻo Omili.
3 But he too went forth in the ways of the house of Ahab. For his mother impelled him to act impiously.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻoe fale ʻo ʻEhapi: he naʻe akonakiʻi ia ʻe heʻene faʻē ke fai angakovi.
4 And so he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as the house of Ahab did. For after the death of his father, they were counselors to him, to his destruction.
Ko ia naʻa ne fai angakovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻo hangē ko e fale ʻo ʻEhapi: he ko ʻene kau akonaki ʻakinautolu hili ʻae mate ʻa ʻene tamai, ke malaʻia ai ia.
5 And he walked in their counsels. And he went with Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel, to war against Hazael, the king of Syria, at Ramoth Gilead. And the Syrians wounded Joram.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ia foki ʻo muimui ki heʻenau fakakaukau, pea ʻalu ia mo Siholami ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ki he tau ke tauʻi ʻa Hasaeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia ki Lemoti-Kiliati: pea naʻe fakakafo ʻa Solami ʻe he kakai Silia.
6 And he returned, so that he might be cured at Jezreel. For he had received many wounds in the above-stated battle. And so Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, descended, so that he might visit Joram, the son of Ahab, at Jezreel, while he was ill.
Pea naʻe liliu mai ia ki Sesilili ke faitoʻo ki hono ngaahi kafo ʻaia naʻa ne lavea ai ʻi Lama ʻi heʻene tauʻi ʻa Hasaeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia. Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ki Sesilili ʻa ʻAsalia ko e foha ʻo Siholami ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ke vakai ʻa Siholami ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi koeʻuhi naʻe mahaki ia.
7 Indeed, it was the will of God against Ahaziah that he would go to Joram, and when he had gone, that he also would go out with him against Jehu, the son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.
Pea ko e fakamalaʻia ʻo ʻAhasia naʻe mei he ʻOtua ʻi [heʻene ]hoko kia Solami: koeʻuhi ʻi heʻene hoko ange, naʻe ʻalu kituaʻā ia fakataha mo Siholami ke tauʻi ʻa Sehu ko e foha ʻo Nimisi, ʻaia naʻe pani ʻaki ʻae lolo ʻe Sihova ke ne motuhi ʻae fale ʻo ʻEhapi.
8 Therefore, when Jehu was overthrowing the house of Ahab, he found the leaders of Judah, with the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, who were ministering to him, and he put them to death.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, koeʻuhi ʻi he fai ʻe Sehu ʻene tautea ki he faʻahinga ʻo ʻEhapi, ʻo ne ʻilo ʻae ngaahi houʻeiki ʻo Siuta, mo e ngaahi kāinga ʻo ʻAhasia, ʻakinautolu naʻe tauhi ʻa ʻAhasia, naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu.
9 Also, while he himself was seeking Ahaziah, he found him to be hiding in Samaria. And having been led to him, he killed him. And they buried him, because he was the son of Jehoshaphat, who had sought the Lord with all his heart. But there was no longer any hope that someone from the stock of Ahaziah would reign.
Pea naʻa ne kumi ʻa ʻAhasia: pea naʻa nau puke ia, (he naʻe fufū ia ʻi Samēlia) ʻo ʻomi ia kia Sehu: pea hili ʻenau tāmateʻi ia, naʻa nau tanu ia: he naʻa nau pehē, Ko e foha ia ʻo Sihosafate, ʻaia naʻe kumi kia Sihova ʻaki hono loto kotoa. Ko ia naʻe ʻikai ha mālohi ʻi he fale ʻo ʻEhapi, ke puke maʻu ʻae puleʻanga.
10 For indeed, his mother, Athaliah, seeing that her son had died, rose up and killed the entire royal stock of the house of Jehoram.
Pea ʻi he vakai ʻe ʻAtalia ko e faʻē ʻa ʻAhasia kuo mate ʻene tama, naʻe tuʻu hake ia ʻo ne tāmateʻi ʻae hako kotoa pē ʻoe hau ʻi he fale ʻo Siuta.
11 But Jehosheba, the daughter of the king, took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from the midst the king’s sons when they were being slain. And she hid him with his nurse in a bedroom. Now Jehosheba, the one who had hidden him, was the daughter of king Jehoram, and the wife of the high priest Jehoiada, and the sister of Ahaziah. And because of this, Athaliah did not kill him.
Ka ko Sihosapeati ko e ʻofefine ʻoe tuʻi, naʻa ne toʻo ʻa Soasi ko e foha ʻo ʻAhasia, ʻo ne kaihaʻasi ia mei he ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi ʻaia naʻe tāmateʻi, pea tuku ia mo ʻene fefine tauhi ʻi ha fale mohe. Ko ia naʻe fufū ia ʻe Sihosapeati ko e ʻofefine ʻoe tuʻi, ko e uaifi ʻo Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeiki, (he ko e tuofefine ia ʻo ʻAhasia, ) meia ʻAtalia, ko ia naʻe ʻikai te ne tāmateʻi ia.
12 Therefore, he was with them, hidden in the house of God, for six years, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
Pea naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ia ʻo fufū ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he taʻu ʻe ono: pea naʻe pule ʻa ʻAtalia ki he fonua.
