2 Kings 14

1 In the second year of Joas son of Joachaz, king of Israel, reigned Amasias son of Joas king of Juda.

‌ʻI hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo Soasi ko e foha ʻo Sihoaasi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli naʻe pule ʻa ʻAmasia ko e foha ʻo Soasi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta.

2 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and nine and twenty years he reigned in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Joadan of Jerusalem.

Naʻe uofulu ma nima ʻae taʻu ʻo ʻene motuʻa ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi Selūsalema, ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu ma hiva. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Sihoatani, ʻo Selūsalema.

3 And he did that which was right before the Lord, but yet not like David his father. He did according to all things that Joas his father did:

Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae meʻa naʻe lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne tatau mo Tevita ko ʻene tamai: naʻa ne fai ʻo fakatatau mo e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe Soasi ko ʻene tamai.

4 But this only, that he took not away the high places: for yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

Ka neongo ia naʻe ʻikai ʻave ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga: naʻe kei fai ʻe he kakai ʻae feilaulau mo e tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga.

5 And when he had possession of the kingdom, he put his servants to death that had slain the king his father:

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene tuʻumaʻu leva ʻae puleʻanga ki hono nima, naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻakinautolu naʻe fakapoongi ʻae tuʻi ko ʻene tamai.

6 But the children of the murderers he did not put to death, according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the Lord commanded, saying: The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: but every man shall die for his own sins.

Ka naʻe ʻikai tāmateʻi ʻe ia ʻae fānau ʻae kau fakapō: kae hangē ko ia ʻoku tohi ʻi he tohi ʻoe fono ʻa Mōsese, ʻaia naʻe fekau ai ʻe Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻikai tāmateʻi ʻae tamai koeʻuhi ko e fānau, pe tāmateʻi ʻae fānau koeʻuhi ko ʻenau ngaahi tamai; ka ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae tangata taki taha koeʻuhi ko ʻene angahala ʻaʻana pe.”

7 He slew of Edom in the valley of the Saltpits ten thousand men, and took the rock by war, and called the name thereof Jectehel, unto this day.

Naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻae kakai ʻItomi ʻe tokotaha mano, ʻi he teleʻa ʻoe māsima, pea naʻa ne kapa ʻa Sila ʻi he tau, pea naʻa ne ui ʻa hono hingoa ko Sokitili ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.

8 Then Amasias sent messengers to Joas son of Joachaz, son of Jehu king of Israel, saying: Come let us see one another.

Pea naʻe kouna ʻe ʻAmasia ʻae kau talafekau kia Soasa, ko e foha ʻo Sihoaasi ko e foha ʻo Sehu, ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “Haʻu, ke ta fesiofaki ʻakitaua ko e mata ki he mata.”

9 And Joas king of Israel sent again to Amasias king of Juda, saying: A thistle of Libanus sent to a cedar tree, which is in Libanus, saying: Give thy daughter to my son to wife. And the beasts of the forest, that are in Libanus, passed and trod down the thistle.

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Soasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia ʻAmasia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe fekau atu ʻe he talatalaʻāmoa ʻaia naʻe ʻi Lepanoni ki he sita ʻaia naʻe ʻi Lepanoni, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Foaki mai ho ʻofefine ki hoku foha kena mali:’ pea naʻe ʻalu ange ha manu fekai naʻe nofo ʻi Lepanoni, ʻo ne malamalaki hifo ʻae talatalaʻāmoa.”

10 Thou hast beaten and prevailed over Edom, and thy heart hath lifted thee up: be content with the glory, and sit at home: why provokest thou evil, that thou shouldst fall, and Juda with thee?

Ko e moʻoni kuo ke teʻia ʻa ʻItomi, pea kuo angahiki ai ho loto: ke ke monūʻia, pea ke nofo ai pe ʻi ho fale: he koeʻumaʻā ʻa hoʻo lavea ʻi he kaunoa pe, mo ke hinga ai, ʻio, ʻa koe, pea mo Siuta fakataha mo koe?

11 But Amasias did not rest satisfied. So Joas king of Israel went up, and he and Amasias king of Juda saw one another in Bethsames a town in Juda.

Ka naʻe ʻikai fie fakaongo ʻa ʻAmasia ki ai. Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻa Soasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli; pea naʻe fesiofaki ia mo ʻAmasia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ko e mata ki he mata ʻi Pete-Semesi ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Siuta.

12 And Juda was put to the worst before Israel, and they fled every man to their dwellings.

Pea naʻe teʻia ʻa Siuta ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli; pea naʻe hola ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono fale fehikitaki.

13 But Joas king of Israel took Amasias, king of Juda the son of Joas, the son of Ochozias, in Bethsames, and brought him into Jerusalem: and he broke down the wall of Jerusalem, from the gate of Ephraim to the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits.

Pea naʻe maʻu ʻa ʻAmasia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ko e foha ʻo Soasa ko e foha ʻo ʻAhasia, ʻe Soasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi Pete-Semesi, ʻo ne ʻomi ki Selūsalema, pea ne holoki hifo ʻae ʻa ʻo Selūsalema mei he matapā ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻo aʻu ki he matapā ʻoe tuliki, ko e hanga ʻe valungeau.

14 And he took all the gold, and silver, and all the vessels, that were found in the house of the Lord, and in the king’s treasures, and hostages, and returned to Samaria.

Pea naʻa ne toʻo ʻae koula kotoa pē mo e siliva, pea mo e ngaahi nāunau naʻe ʻilo ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, pea ʻi he tukunga koloa ʻoe fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea mo e kau pōpula, pea ne toe ʻalu ai ki Samēlia.

15 But the rest of the acts of Joas, which he did, and his valour, wherewith he fought against Amasias king of Juda, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

Pea ko eni ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Soasa, ʻaia naʻa ne fai, pea mo ʻene mālohi, pea mo ʻene tau mo ʻAmasia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?

16 And Joas slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria, with the kings of Israel: and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Soasa mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe fai hono putu ki Samēlia fakataha mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli; pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Selopoami ko hono foha.

17 And Amasias the son of Joas king of Juda lived, after the death of Joas son of Joachaz king of Israel fifteen years.

Pea ko ʻAmasia ko e foha ʻo Soasi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta naʻe moʻui ia hili ʻae pekia ʻa Soasa ko e foha ʻo Sihoaasi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma nima.

18 And the rest of the acts of Amasias, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa ʻAmasia, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?

19 Now they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem: and he fled to Lachis. And they sent after him to Lachis, and killed him there.

Ka ko eni, naʻa nau teuteu ke fai ʻae lapa kiate ia ʻi Selūsalema: pea naʻa ne hola ki Lakisi; ka naʻa nau fekau ke tuli ia ki Lakisi, pea naʻa nau tāmate ia ʻi ai.

20 And they brought him away upon horses, and he was buried in Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.

Pea naʻa nau fakaheka ia mo ʻomi ia ʻi he fanga hoosi: pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi Selūsalema fakataha mo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita.

21 And all the people of Juda took Azarias, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amasias.

Pea naʻe ʻave ʻa ʻAsalia ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻi hono hongofulu ma nima ʻo ʻene taʻu, mo nau fakanofo ia ke tuʻi ko e fetongi ʻo ʻene tamai ko ʻAmasia.

22 He built Elath, and restored it to Juda, after that the king slept with his fathers.

Naʻa ne langa ʻe ia ʻa ʻElati, mo ne toe ʻange ia ki Siuta, ʻi he ʻene hili ʻae mohe ʻae tuʻi ki heʻene ngaahi tamai.

23 In the fifteenth year of Amasias son of Joas king of Juda, reigned Jeroboam the son of Joas king of Israel in Samaria, one and forty years:

ʻI hono hongofulu ma nima ʻoe taʻu ʻa ʻAmasia ko e foha ʻo Soasi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, naʻe kamata pule ʻi Samēlia ʻa Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Soasi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu ma taha.

24 And he did that which was evil before the Lord. He departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin.

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

25 He restored the borders of Israel from the entrance of Emath, unto the sea of the wilderness, according to the word of the Lord the God of Israel, which he spoke by his servant Jonas the son of Amathi, the prophet, who was of Geth, which is in Opher.

Naʻa ne toe fokotuʻu ʻae ngataʻanga ʻo ʻIsileli mei he hūʻanga ʻo Hemati ʻo aʻu ki he tahi ʻoe potu tokalelei, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki ʻi heʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Siona, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmitai, ko e palōfita, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Katihefeli.

26 For the Lord saw the affliction of Israel that it was exceeding bitter, and that they were consumed even to them that were shut up in prison, and the lowest persons, and that there was no one to help Israel.

He naʻe ʻafioʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae mamahi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻa ʻene kovi lahi ʻaupito: he naʻe ʻikai kei ai ha niʻihi naʻe nofo ʻi lotoʻā pe ʻalu kituʻa, pe ha taha ke tokoni ʻa ʻIsileli.

27 And the Lord did not say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joas.

Pea naʻe ʻikai pehē ʻe Sihova te ne tāmateʻi ʻae hingoa ʻo ʻIsileli mei he lalo langi: ka naʻa ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻi he nima ʻo Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Soasi.

28 But the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his velour, wherewith he fought, and how he restored Damascus, and Emath to Juda in Israel, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

Pea ko eni, ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Selopoami, mo e meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, pea mo ʻene mālohi, ʻae anga ʻo ʻene faʻa tau, pea mo e meʻa naʻa ne toe maʻu ai ʻa Tamasikusi, mo Hemati, ʻaia naʻe kau ki Siuta, ke ʻia ʻIsileli ia, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?

29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers the kings of Israel, and Zacharias his son reigned in his stead.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Selopoami mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli; pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko Sakalia.
