2 Kings 15

1 In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam, the king of Israel: Azariah, the son of Amaziah, reigned as king of Judah.

‌ʻI he taʻu ʻe uofulu ma fitu ʻo Selopoami ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻe kamata pule ki Siuta ʻa ʻAsalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAmasia.

2 He was sixteen years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

Naʻe hongofulu ma ono taʻu ʻene motuʻa ʻi heʻene hoko ki he pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe nimangofulu ma ua ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Sekolia ʻo Selūsalema.

3 And he did what was pleasing before the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Amaziah, did.

Pea naʻe fai lelei ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe heʻene tamai ko ʻAmasia;

4 Yet truly, he did not demolish the high places. And still the people were sacrificing, and burning incense, in the high places.

Ka ko e ngaahi potu māʻolunga naʻe ʻikai liʻaki: naʻe feilaulau mo tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻe he kakai ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga.

5 Now the Lord struck the king, and he became a leper, even until the day of his death. And he was living in a separate house by himself. And truly, Jotham, the son of the king, governed the palace, and he judged the people of the land.

Pea naʻe taaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae tuʻi, pea naʻa ne kilia ai ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻo ʻene mate; pea naʻa ne nofo ʻi he fale mavahe. Pea naʻe pule ʻa Sotami ko e foha ʻoe tuʻi ki he fale pea naʻe fakamaau ʻe ia ʻae kakai ʻoe fonua.

6 Now the rest of the words of Azariah, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa ʻAsalia mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, ʻikai ʻoku tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?

7 And Azariah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his ancestors in the city of David. And Jotham, his son, reigned in his place.

Ko ia, naʻe mohe ʻa ʻAsalia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai; pea naʻa nau tanu ia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Sotami ko hono foha.

8 In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah, the king of Judah: Zechariah, the son of Jeroboam, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, for six months.

ʻI hono tolungofulu ma valu ʻoe taʻu ʻo ʻAsalia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, naʻe pule ʻa Sakalia ko e foha ʻo Selopoami ki ʻIsileli ʻi Samēlia ʻi he māhina ʻe ono.

9 And he did what is evil before the Lord, just as his fathers had done. He did not withdraw from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.

Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻaia naʻe kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe heʻene ngaahi tamai: naʻe ʻikai mahuʻi ia mei he ngaahi angahala ʻa Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, ʻaia naʻa ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli.

10 Then Shallum, the son of Jabesh, conspired against him. And he struck him openly, and killed him. And he reigned in his place.

Pea naʻe lapasi ia ʻe Salumi ko e foha ʻo Sepesi, ʻo ne taaʻi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, pea ne tāmateʻi ia, pea naʻa ne fetongi ia ʻi he pule.

11 Now the rest of the words of Zechariah, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sakalia, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.

12 This was the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Jehu, saying: “Your sons, even to the fourth generation, shall sit upon the throne of Israel.” And so it happened.

Ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻe folofolaʻaki kia Sehu ʻo pehē, “ʻE nofo ho ngaahi foha ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo aʻu ki hono fā ʻoe toʻutangata. Pea naʻe hoko ia ʻo pehē pe.”

13 Shallum, the son of Jabesh, reigned in the thirty-ninth year of Azariah, the king of Judah. And he reigned for one month, in Samaria.

ʻI hono tolungofulu ma hiva ʻoe taʻu ʻo ʻUsaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, naʻe kamata pule ʻa Salumi ko e foha ʻo Sepesi; pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he māhina kātoa ʻe taha ʻi Samēlia.

14 And Menahem, the son of Gadi, ascended from Tirzah. And he went into Samaria, and he struck Shallum, the son of Jabesh, in Samaria. And he killed him, and reigned in his place.

He naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Minehemi ko e foha ʻo Kati, mei Tilisa, pea haʻu ia ki Samēlia, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻa Salumi ko e foha ʻo Sepesi ʻi Samēlia, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ia, pea naʻa ne fetongi ia ʻi he pule.

15 Now the rest of the words of Shallum, and his conspiracy, by which he carried out treachery, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

Ka ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Salumi, mo ʻene fai ʻae lapa, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.

16 Then Menahem struck Tirzah, and all who were in it, and its borders around Tirzah. For they were not willing to open to him. And he killed all of its pregnant women, and he tore them open.

Pea naʻe toki taaʻi ʻe Minehemi ʻa Tifisa, mo ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai, mo hono ngaahi potu ngataʻanga, ʻo aʻu ki Tilisa: koe meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te nau fakaava ia kiate ia, ko ia naʻa ne taaʻi ai ia; pea ko e kau fefine feitama kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai naʻa ne hae hake.

17 In the thirty-ninth year of Azariah, the king of Judah: Menahem, son of Gadi, reigned over Israel for ten years, in Samaria.

‌ʻI hono tolungofulu ma hiva ʻoe taʻu ʻo ʻAsalia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta naʻe kamata pule ki ʻIsileli ʻa Minehemi ko e foha ʻo Kati, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ʻi Samēlia.

18 And he did what was evil before the Lord. He did not withdraw from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, during all his days.

Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē naʻe ʻikai te ne liʻaki ʻae ngaahi angahala ʻa Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, ʻaia naʻa ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli.

19 Then Pul, the king of the Assyrians, came into the land. And Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents of silver, so that he would be a help to him, and so that he might strengthen his kingdom.

Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Puli ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ke tauʻi ʻae fonua: pea naʻe ʻatu ʻe Minehemi kia Puli ʻae taleniti siliva ʻe taha afe, koeʻuhi ke na kau taha ke fakatuʻumaʻu ʻae puleʻanga ʻi hono nima.

20 And Menahem proclaimed a tax upon Israel, on all who were powerful and wealthy, so that each one would give to the king of the Assyrians fifty shekels of silver. Then the king of the Assyrians turned back, and he did not remain in the land.

Pea naʻe pule ʻe Minehemi ke ʻomi ʻae ngaahi paʻanga mei ʻIsileli, ʻio, mei he kau tangata ongoongo mo koloaʻia, ʻi he tangata taki taha kotoa pē ko e sikeli siliva ʻe nimangofulu, ke foaki ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia. Ko ia, naʻe toe ʻalu ai ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, pea naʻe ʻikai nofomaʻu ia ʻi he fonua.

21 Now the rest of the words of Menahem, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Minehemi, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, ʻikai ʻoku tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?

22 And Menahem slept with his fathers. And Pekahiah, his son, reigned in his place.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Minehemi mo ʻene ngaahi tamai; pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Pikaia ko hono foha.

23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah, the king of Judah: Pekahiah, the son of Menahem, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, for two years.

ʻI hono nimangofulu taʻu ʻo ʻAsalia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta naʻe kamata pule ki ʻIsileli ʻi Samēlia ʻa Pikaia ko e foha ʻo Minehemi pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe ua.

24 And he did what was evil before the Lord. He did not withdraw from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.

Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: naʻe ʻikai te ne liʻaki ʻae ngaahi angahala ʻa Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, ʻaia naʻa ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli.

25 Then Pekah, the son of Remaliah, his commander, conspired against him. And he struck him in Samaria, in the tower of the king’s house, near Argob and Arieh, and with him fifty men from the sons of the Gileadites. And he killed him, and reigned in his place.

Ka naʻe te u lapa kiate ia ʻa Peka ko e foha ʻo Limalia ko ʻene ʻeikitau ʻe taha ʻaʻana, ʻo ne taaʻi ia ʻi Samēlia, ʻi he potu tapu ʻoe fale ʻoe tuʻi, fakataha mo ʻAakopi mo ʻEliia, pea mo e kau tangata Kiliati ʻe toko nimangofulu: pea naʻa ne tāmateʻi ia, pea ne fetongi ia ʻi he pule.

26 Now the rest of the words of Pekahiah, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Pikaia, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.

27 In the fifty-second year of Azariah, the king of Judah: Pekah, the son of Remaliah, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, for twenty years.

ʻI hono nimangofulu ma ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo ʻAsalia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, naʻe kamata pule ʻa Peka ko e foha ʻo Limalia ki ʻIsileli ʻi Samēlia, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu,

28 And he did what was evil before the Lord. He did not withdraw from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.

Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: naʻe ʻikai liʻaki ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi angahala ʻa Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, ʻaia naʻa ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli.

29 In the days of Pekah, the king of Israel, Tiglath-pileser, the king of Assyria, arrived and captured Ijon, and Abel Bethmaacah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, and the entire land of Naphtali. And he took them away into Assyria.

Naʻe haʻu ʻa Tekilati-Pilesa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Peka ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo ne kapasia ʻa Isoni mo ʻEpeli-Petemeaka, mo Sanoa, mo Ketesi, mo Hasoa, mo Kiliati, mo Kāleli, ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻo Nafitali, pea naʻe fetuku pōpula ʻakinautolu ki ʻAsilia.

30 Then Hoshea, the son of Elah, conspired and carried out treachery against Pekah, the son of Remaliah. And he struck him, and killed him. And he reigned in his place, in the twentieth year of Jotham, the son of Uzziah.

Pea naʻe fai ʻae lapa ʻe Hosea ko e foha ʻo Ela kia Peka ko e foha ʻo Limalia, ʻo ne taaʻi ia, pea ne tāmateʻi ia, pea ne fetongi ia ʻi he pule, ʻi hono uofulu ʻoe taʻu ʻo Sotami ko e foha ʻo ʻUsaia.

31 Now the rest of the words of Pekah, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Peka mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.

32 In the second year of Pekah, the son of Remaliah, the king of Israel: Jotham, son of Uzziah, reigned as king of Judah.

ʻI hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo Peka ko e foha ʻo Limalia ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻe kamata pule ki Siuta ʻa Sotami ko e foha ʻo ʻUsaia.

33 He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.

Naʻe uofulu ma nima ʻae taʻu ʻo ʻene motuʻa ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ono ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Silusa, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Satoki.

34 And he did what was pleasing before the Lord. In accord with all that his father, Uzziah, had done, so he did.

Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: naʻe fai ia ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe heʻene tamai ko ʻUsaia.

35 Yet truly, he did not take away the high places. And still the people were immolating, and burning incense, in the high places. But he edified the gate of the house of the Lord to be very sublime.

Ka naʻe ʻikai siʻaki ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga: naʻe kei feilaulau mo tutu meʻa namu kakala ʻe he kakai ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga. Naʻe langa ʻe ia ʻae matapā māʻolunga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.

36 Now the rest of the words of Jotham, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sotami, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?

37 In those days, the Lord began to send, into Judah, Rezin, the king of Syria, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah.

‌ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe kamata ueʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa Lisini ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia, mo Peka ko e foha ʻo Limalia ke na tauʻi ʻa Siuta.

38 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Ahaz, his son, reigned in his place.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Sotami mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe tanu ia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita, ko ʻene tamai: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko ʻAhasi.
