2 Kings 21

1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for fifty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hephzibah.

Naʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻae taʻu ʻo Manase ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe nimangofulu ma nima ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Hefisipa.

2 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, in accord with the idols of the nations that the Lord destroyed before the face of the sons of Israel.

Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi meʻa kovi ʻae hiteni, ʻaia naʻe kapusi ʻe Sihova mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

3 And he turned away. And he built up the high places that his father, Hezekiah, had destroyed. And he erected altars to Baal, and he made sacred groves, just as Ahab, the king of Israel, had done. And he adored the entire army of heaven, and he served them.

He naʻa ne toe langa hake ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha ʻe heʻene tamai ko Hesekaia: pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu hake ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga kia Peali, ʻo ne ngaohi ʻae vaotapu, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻe lotu ia ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe langi, mo ne tauhi ʻakinautolu.

4 And he constructed altars in the house of the Lord, about which the Lord said: “In Jerusalem, I will place my name.”

Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe folofola ki ai ʻa Sihova, Te u ʻai hoku huafa ʻi Selūsalema.

5 And he constructed altars, for the entire army of heaven, within the two courts of the temple of the Lord.

Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻae langi ʻi he lotoʻā ʻe ua ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.

6 And he led his son through fire. And he used divinations, and observed omens, and appointed soothsayers, and multiplied diviners, so that he did evil before the Lord, and provoked him.

Pea naʻa ne tuku hono foha ke ʻalu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe afi, pea naʻe tokanga ia ki he ngaahi kuonga, pea naʻa ne fai ʻae tuki [fakatēvolo ]pea naʻe kau ia mo e kau laumālie kovi mo e kau kikite loi: naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi angakovi lahi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke fakatupu hono houhau.

7 Also, he set up an idol, of the sacred grove that he had made, in the temple of the Lord, about which the Lord said to David, and to his son Solomon: “In this temple, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will place my name forever.

Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe ia ʻae tamapua ʻi he vao tapu naʻa ne ngaohi ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe folofola ai ʻe Sihova kia Tevita, pea kia Solomone ko hono foha, “Te u ʻai hoku hingoa ʻo taʻengata ki he fale ni, pea ʻi Selūsalema, ʻaia kuo u fili mei he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.

8 And I will no longer cause the feet of Israel to be moved from the land that I gave to their fathers: if only they will take care to do all that I have instructed them, and the entire law that my servant Moses commanded to them.”

Pea ʻe ʻikai te u toe hiki ʻae vaʻe ʻo ʻIsileli mei he fonua ʻaia ne u foaki ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai; ʻo kapau pe te nau tokanga ke fai ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻaku fekau kiate kinautolu, pea fakatatau ki he fono kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Mōsese kiate kinautolu.”

9 Yet truly, they did not listen. Instead, they were seduced by Manasseh, so that they did evil, more so than the nations that the Lord crushed before the face of the sons of Israel.

Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau tokanga: pea naʻe fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Manase ke nau fai kovi lahi hake ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

10 And so the Lord spoke, by the hand of his servants, the prophets, saying:

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ʻi heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita, ʻo pehē,

11 “Since Manasseh, the king of Judah, has committed these wicked abominations, beyond all that the Amorites before him have done, and also has caused Judah to sin by his defilements,

“Ko e meʻa ʻi he fai ʻe Manase ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ʻae ngaahi angakovi lahi ni, pea kuo ne fai angakovi lahi hake ʻaupito ʻi he meʻa naʻe fai ʻe he kakai ʻAmoni ʻaia naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻiate ia, pea kuo ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻa Siuta ʻaki ʻa ʻene ngaahi ʻotua loi:

12 because of this, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I will lead evils over Jerusalem and over Judah, such that, whoever will hear of these things, both his ears will ring.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, Vakai, ʻOku ou ʻomi ha kovi pehē ki Selūsalema, mo Siuta, ko ia fulipē ʻe fanongo ki ai ʻe vavana hono telinga fakatouʻosi pe.

13 And I will extend the measuring line of Samaria over Jerusalem, with the scale of the house of Ahab. And I will erase Jerusalem, just as writing tablets are usually erased. And after erasing, I will turn it and repeatedly drag a stylus over its surface.

Pea te u falō atu ʻi ʻolunga ki Selūsalema ʻae afo ʻo Samēlia, mo e afo fakafuofua ʻoe fale ʻo ʻEhapi: pea te u holoholo ʻa Selūsalema ʻo hangē ko e holoholo ʻae ipukai ʻae tangata, ʻo holoholo ia, pea fakafoʻohifo ki lalo.

14 And truly, I will send away the remnants of my inheritance, and I will deliver them into the hands of their enemies. And they will be devastated and plundered by all their adversaries.

Pea te u liʻaki hono toe ʻo hoku tofiʻa, pea tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo honau fili: pea te nau hoko ko e meʻa ke vete mo maumau ʻe honau ngaahi fili kotoa pē;

15 For they have done evil before me, and they have persevered in provoking me, from the day when their fathers departed from Egypt, even to this day.

Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fai kovi ʻi hoku ʻao, mo fakatupu ʻeku houhau, talu ʻae ʻaho naʻe haʻu ai ʻenau ngaahi tamai mei ʻIsipite, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.”

16 Moreover, Manasseh also has shed an exceedingly great amount of innocent blood, until he filled Jerusalem even to the mouth, aside from his sins by which he caused Judah to sin, so that they did evil before the Lord.”

Ka ko eni, naʻe lingi ʻe Manase ʻae toto māʻoniʻoni ʻo lahi ʻaupito, mo ne fakafonu ʻaki ia ʻa Selūsalema mei he potu ʻe taha ki he potu ʻe taha; kaeʻumaʻā foki ʻa ʻene angahala ʻaia naʻa ne fakaangahala ai ʻa Siuta, ʻi he fai ʻaia naʻe kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

17 Now the rest of the words of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, 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 Manase, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, mo ʻene angahala ʻaia naʻa ne fai, ʻikai kuo tohi ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?

18 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza. And Amon, his son, reigned in his place.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Manase mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi he ngoue ʻo hono fale ʻoʻona, ʻi he ngoue ʻo Usa: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe ʻAmoni ko hono foha.

19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz, from Jotbah.

Naʻe uofulu ma ua ʻae taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo ʻAmoni ʻi heʻene kamata ʻene pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe ua ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Mesulemeti, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Halusi ʻoe kakai Sotipa.

20 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his father, Manasseh, had done.

Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko ʻene tamai ko Manase.

21 And he walked in all the ways in which his father had walked. And he served the unclean things that his father had served, and he adored them.

Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻi he hala kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu ai ʻene tamai, mo ne tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua loi naʻe tauhi ʻe heʻene tamai, ʻo ne lotu kiate kinautolu:

22 And he abandoned the Lord, the God of his fathers, and he did not walk in the way of the Lord.

Pea naʻa ne liʻaki ʻe ia ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻalu ia ʻi he hala ʻo Sihova.

23 And his servants undertook treachery against him. And they killed the king in his own house.

Pea naʻe teu ʻae lapa ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻAmoni kiate ia, ʻonau tāmateʻi ʻae tuʻi ʻi hono fale ʻoʻona.

24 But the people of the land slew all those who had conspired against king Amon. And they appointed for themselves Josiah, his son, as king in his place.

Pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe kau ki he tuʻi ko ʻAmoni: pea naʻe fakanofo ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua ʻa Sosaia ko hono foha ke tuʻi ia ko hono fetongi.

25 But the rest of the words of Amon, which 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 naʻe fai ʻe ʻAmoni, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?

26 And they buried him in his sepulcher, in the garden of Uzza. And his son, Josiah, reigned in his place.

Pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi he fonualoto ʻi he ngoue ʻo Usa; pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko Sosaia.
