1 Kings 20
1 Then Ben-hadad the King of Aram assembled all his armie, and two and thirtie Kings with him, with horses, and charets, and went vp and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
Pea naʻe tānaki fakataha ʻe Peni-Hatati ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia ʻa ʻene kautau kotoa pē: pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae tuʻi ʻe toko tolungofulu ma toko ua, mo e fanga hoosi, mo e ngaahi saliote: pea naʻa ne ʻalu hake ʻo ne kāpui ʻa Samēlia ʻaki ʻae tau, ʻo ne fai ʻae tau ki ai.
2 And he sent messengers to Ahab King of Israel, into the citie,
Pea naʻa ne kouna atu ʻae kau talafekau kia ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ki loto kolo, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Peni-Hatati,
3 And sayd vnto him, Thus sayth Ben-hadad, Thy siluer and thy golde is mine: also thy women, and thy fayre children are mine.
ʻOku ʻaʻaku ʻa hoʻo siliva mo hoʻo koula; pea ʻoku ʻaʻaku foki ʻa hoʻo ngaahi uaifi pea mo hoʻo fānau, ʻio, ʻakinautolu ʻoku matalelei hake ʻi ai.”
4 And the King of Israel answered, and sayd, My lord King, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I haue.
Pea naʻe tali ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo lea, ʻoku ʻaʻau au, pea mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ou maʻu.”
5 And when the messengers came againe, they said, Thus commandeth Ben-hadad, and saith, When I shall send vnto thee, and command, thou shalt deliuer me thy siluer and thy golde, and thy women, and thy children,
Pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻae kau talafekau, ʻonau pehē, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Peni-Hatati, Neongo ʻa ʻeku fekau atu kiate koe, ʻo pehē, Te ke tuku mai kiate au hoʻo siliva, mo hoʻo koula, mo ho ngaahi uaifi, pea mo hoʻo fānau;
6 Or els I will sende my seruants vnto thee by to morow this time: and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy seruants: and whatsoeuer is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall take it in their handes, and bring it away.
Neongo ia, te u fekau atu ʻa ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki kiate koe ʻapongipongi ʻi he feituʻu laʻā ni nai, pea te nau hakule ho fale, pea mo e ngaahi fale ʻo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki; pea ʻe pehē, ʻilonga ha meʻa ʻoku mata lelei ki ho mata ʻoʻou, te nau toʻo ia ʻi honau nima ʻo ʻave.”
7 Then the King of Israel sent for all the Elders of the land, and sayd, Take heede, I pray you, and see how he seeketh mischiefe: for he sent vnto me for my wiues, and for my children, and for my siluer, and for my golde, and I denyed him not.
Pea naʻe toki ʻomi ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, ʻo ne pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, ke mou sio ki heʻene kumi ʻe he tangata ni ha fekovikoviʻi: he naʻa ne fekau mai kiate au ke ʻatu ʻa hoku ngaahi uaifi, mo ʻeku ngaahi fānau, mo ʻeku siliva, pea mo ʻeku koula; pea naʻe ʻikai te u taʻofi ha meʻa meiate ia.”
8 And all the Elders, and all the people sayd to him, Hearken not vnto him, nor consent.
Pea naʻe pehē kiate ia ʻe he kau mātuʻa pea mo e kakai kotoa pē, “ʻOua naʻa ke fanongo kiate ia, pea ʻoua naʻa loto ki ai.”
9 Wherefore hee sayde vnto the messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my lorde the King, All that thou didddest sende for to thy seruant at the first time, that I will doe, but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him an answere.
Ko ia naʻa ne pehē ai ki he kau tala fekau meia Peni-Hatati, “Mou tala ki hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, Ko e meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ke tomuʻa fekau ai ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki te u fai ia: ka ko e meʻa ko eni ʻe ʻikai siʻi te u mafai.” Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kau talafekau, ʻonau toe ʻomi ʻae lea kiate ia.
10 And Ben-hadad sent vnto him, and sayde, The gods do so to me and more also, if the dust of Samaria be ynough to all the people that follow me, for euery man an handfull.
Pea naʻe fekau atu kiate ia ʻe Peni-Hatati, ʻo ne pehē, “Ke fai pehē ʻe he ngaahi ʻotua kiate au, ʻo lahi hake foki, ʻo kapau ʻe lahi ʻae efu ʻo Samēlia ke taki taha maʻu ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻoku muimui kiate au ha faluku ʻe taha.”
11 And the King of Israel answered, and sayd, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth his harneis, boast himselfe, as he that putteth it off.
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “Tala kiate ia, ʻOua naʻa polepole ia ʻaia ʻoku nonoʻo mai hono mahafutau, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku ne vete ia.”
12 And when he heard that tidings, as he was with the Kings drinking in the pauilions, he sayd vnto his seruants, Bring forth your engines, and they set them against the citie.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻa Peni-Hatati ki he lea ko ia, lolotonga ʻa ʻene inu, ʻaia mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻi ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki, naʻa ne pehē ai ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “Mou teuteu.” Pea naʻa nau teuteu ke tauʻi ʻae kolo.
13 And beholde, there came a Prophet vnto Ahab King of Israel, saying, Thus sayeth the Lord, Hast thou seene all this great multitude? beholde, I will deliuer it into thine hande this day, that thou mayest knowe, that I am the Lord.
Pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ha palōfita kia ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻIsileli, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Kuo ke mamata ki he fuʻu kakai tokolahi ni? Vakai, te u tukuange kinautolu ki ho nima he ʻaho ni; pea te ke ʻilo ko au ko Sihova.’”
14 And Ahab sayd, By whome? And he sayde, Thus sayth the Lord, By the seruants of the princes of the prouinces. He sayde againe, Who shall order the battel? And he answered, Thou.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEhapi, “Ia hai?” Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe ia, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻi he nima ʻoe kau talavou ʻoe houʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi vahefonua.” Pea naʻa ne toki pehē, “Pea ko hai ʻe tataki ʻae tau?” Pea naʻa ne pehē mai, “Ko koe.”
15 Then he nombred the seruantes of the princes of the prouinces, and they were two hundreth, two and thirtie: and after them he nombred the whole people of all the children of Israel, euen seuen thousand.
Pea naʻa ne toki lau hake ʻae kau talavou ʻoe houʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi vahefonua, pea naʻa nau toko uangeau ma tolungofulu ma ua: pea hili ʻene lau kinautolu, naʻa ne lau ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻae fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli, ko e toko fitu afe.
16 And they went out at noone: but Ben-hadad did drinke till he was drunken in the tentes, both he and the Kings: for two and thirtie Kings helped him.
Pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu feʻunga mo e hoʻatāmālie. Ka naʻe lolotonga ia ʻae inu ke konā ʻa Peni-Hatati ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki, ko ia mo e ngaahi tuʻi, ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻe toko tolungofulu ma ua ʻaia naʻe tokoni kiate ia.
17 So the seruants of the princes of the prouinces went out first: and Ben-hadad sent out, and they shewed him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.
Pea naʻe muʻomuʻa atu ʻae kau talavou ʻoe houʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi vahefonua; pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae fekau meia Peni-Hatati, pea naʻa nau fakahā kiate ia, ʻo pehē, ʻOku haʻu ha kau tangata mei Samēlia.
18 And he sayde, Whether they be come out for peace, take them aliue: or whether they bee come out to fight, take them yet aliue.
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Kapau kuo nau hū mai kituʻa ʻi he melino, puke moʻui pe kinautolu; pea kapau kuo nau ʻomi kituʻa ke fai ʻae tau, puke moʻui pe kinautolu.”
19 So they came out of the citie, to wit, the seruants of the princes of the prouinces, and the hoste which followed them.
Ko ia naʻe hū mai mei he kolo ʻae kau talavou ni ʻoe houʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi vahe fonua, pea mo e kautau naʻe muimui kiate kinautolu.
20 And they slew euery one his enemie: and the Aramites fled, and Israel pursued them: but Ben-hadad ye King of Aram escaped on an horse with his horsemen.
Pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi taki taha haʻane tangata: pea naʻe feholaki ʻae kakai Silia; pea naʻe tulia kinautolu ʻe he kakai ʻIsileli: pea naʻe hao moʻui ʻa Peni-Hatati ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia ʻi ha hoosi fakataha mo e kau heka hoosi.
21 And the King of Israel went out, and smote the horses and charets, and with a great slaughter slew he the Aramites.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo ne teʻia ʻae fanga hoosi mo e ngaahi saliote, pea naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻae kakai Silia ʻi he tāmate lahi ʻaupito.
22 (For there had come a Prophet to the King of Israel, and had sayd vnto him, Goe, be of good courage, and consider, and take heede what thou doest: for when the yeere is gone about, the King of Aram wil come vp against thee)
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae palōfita ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ke ke ʻalu, mo fakamālohi koe, pea vakai, ʻo tokanga ki he meʻa ʻoku ke fai: he ka toe hoko mai ʻae faʻahitaʻu ʻe toe haʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻa Silia ke tauʻi koe.”
23 Then the seruants of the King of Aram said vnto him, Their gods are gods of the moutaines, and therefore they ouercame vs: but let vs fight against them in the playne, and doubtlesse we shall ouercome them.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae tuʻi ʻo Silia kiate ia, “Ko honau ngaahi ʻotua, ko e ʻotua ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga; ko ia naʻa nau mālohi hake ai ʻiate kitautolu; kae tuku ke tau tauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he tokalelei, pea ko e moʻoni te tau mālohi hake ʻiate kinautolu.
24 And this doe, Take the Kings away, euery one out of his place, and place captaines for them.
Pea ke fai ʻae meʻa ni, ʻAve ʻae ngaahi tuʻi, ʻae tangata taki taha mei hono potu, pea fetongiʻaki kinautolu ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki tau:
25 And nomber thy selfe an armie, like the armie that thou hast lost, with such horses, and such charets, and we wil fight against them in the plaine, and doubtlesse we shall ouercome them: and he hearkened vnto their voyce, and did so.
Pea lau mai kiate koe ha kautau, ʻo hangē ko e kautau kuo mole ʻiate koe, ko e hoosi ke tatau mo e hoosi, mo e saliote ke tatau mo e saliote: pea te tau tau mo kinautolu ʻi he potu tokalelei, pea ko e moʻoni te tau mālohi hake ʻiate kinautolu.” Pea naʻa ne tokanga ki heʻenau lea, ʻo ne fai pehē.
26 And after the yeere was gone about, Ben-hadad nombred the Aramites, and went vp to Aphek to fight against Israel.
Pea ʻi heʻene toe hokosia mai ʻae faʻahitaʻu, naʻe lau hake ʻae kakai Silia ʻe Peni-Hatati, ʻo ne ʻalu hake ki ʻEfeki ke tau mo ʻIsileli.
27 And the children of Israel were nombred, and were all assembled and went against them, and the children of Israel pitched before them, like two litle flockes of kiddes: but the Aramites filled the countrey.
Pea naʻe lau hake ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea naʻe taki taha ʻave ʻene meʻakai, mo nau ʻalu atu ko honau tali: pea naʻe fokotuʻu honau ʻapitanga ʻi honau ʻao ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi fānganga kosi siʻi ʻe ua; ka naʻe fonu ʻae fonua kotoa ʻi he kau Silia.
28 And there came a man of God, and spake vnto the King of Israel, saying, Thus sayeth the Lord, Because the Aramites haue sayd, The Lord is the God of the mountaines, and not God of the valleis, therefore will I deliuer all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Pea naʻe haʻu ha tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo ne lea ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Koeʻuhi kuo pehē ʻe he kakai Silia, Ko e ʻOtua pe ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga ʻa Sihova, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoe ngaahi potu tokalelei, ko ia te u tukuange ai ʻae fuʻu kakai tokolahi ni ki ho nima, pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au.’”
29 And they pitched one ouer against the other seuen dayes, and in the seuenth day the battel was ioyned: and the children of Israel slew of the Aramites an hundreth thousand footemen in one day.
Pea naʻa nau nofo ʻo fehangaʻaki ko e taha ki he taha ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu. Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho naʻe hoko ʻae tau: pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae kau tangata hāʻele ʻe tokotaha kilu ʻoe kakai Silia ʻi he ʻaho pe taha.
30 But the rest fled to Aphek into the citie: and there fel a wall vpon seuen and twentie thousand men that were left: and Ben-hadad fled into the citie, and came into a secret chamber.
Ka naʻe feholaki ʻae toenga [kakai ]ki ʻEfeki, ki he loto kolo; pea naʻe hinga ʻae ā ʻi ai ʻo taʻomia ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko ua mano mo e toko fitu afe, ʻaia naʻe toe. Pea naʻe hola ʻa Peni-Hatati, ʻo ne hū mai ki he kolo, pea ki he loki ki loto fale.
31 And his seruants sayd vnto him, Beholde nowe, we haue heard say that the Kings of the house of Israel are mercifull Kings: we pray thee, let vs put sacke cloth about our loynes, and ropes about our heads, and goe out to the King of Israel: it may be that he will saue thy life.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kiate ia, “Vakai eni, kuo mau fanongo ko e ngaahi tuʻi faʻa ʻaloʻofa ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli: ʻoku mau kole kiate koe, tuku ke mau ʻai ʻae tauangaʻa ki homau kongaloto, mo e maea ki homau ʻulu, pea mau ʻalu atu ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli heiʻilo te ne fakamoʻui koe.”
32 Then they gyrded sackecloth about their loynes, and put ropes about their heads, and came to the King of Israel, and sayd, Thy seruant Ben-hadad sayth, I pray thee, let me liue: and he sayd, Is he yet aliue? he is my brother.
Ko ia naʻa nau nonoʻo ʻaki kinautolu ʻae tauangaʻa ʻi honau kongaloto, mo e maea ki honau ʻulu, pea [naʻa nau ]haʻu ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Peni-Hatati, ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, “Tuku ke u moʻui.” Pea naʻa ne pehē, “He ʻoku ne kei moʻui? Ko hoku kāinga ia.”
33 Now the men tooke diliget heede, if they could catch any thing of him, and made haste, and sayd, Thy brother Ben-hadad. And he sayd, Go, bring him. So Ben-hadad came out vnto him, and he caused him to come vp vnto the chariot.
Pea naʻe tokanga lahi ʻe he kau tangata pe ʻe ai ha meʻa lelei meiate ia, pea naʻa nau puke leva ki ai: pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ko ho kāinga ko Peni-Hatati. Pea naʻa ne toki pehē atu, “Mou ʻalu ʻo ʻomi ia.” Pea naʻe toki haʻu ʻa Peni-Hatati kituʻa kiate ia; pea naʻa ne fekau ia ke heka hake ki he saliote.
34 And Ben-hadad sayd vnto him, The cities, which my father tooke from thy father, I wil restore, and thou shalt make streetes for thee in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will let thee goe with this couenant. So he made a couenant with him, and let him goe.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe [Peni-Hatati ]kiate ia, “Ko e ngaahi kolo, ʻaia naʻe kapasia ʻe heʻeku tamai mei hoʻo tamai, te u toe ʻatu; pea te ke ngaohi maʻau ʻae ngaahi hala ʻi Tamasikusi ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe ngaohi ʻe heʻeku tamai ʻi Samēlia.” Pea naʻe pehēange ai [ʻe ʻEhapi], “Te u tukuange koe ke ʻalu ʻi he fuakava ni.” Ko ia naʻa ne fai mo ia ha fuakava, mo ne tukuange ia ke ʻalu.
35 Then a certaine man of the children of the Prophets sayd vnto his neighbour by the comandement of the Lord, Smite me, I pray thee. But the man refused to smite him.
Pea ko e tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita, naʻe pehē ki hono kaungāʻapi ʻi he folofola ʻa Sihova, “ʻOku ou kole ke ke taaʻi au. Pea naʻe ʻikai te ne loto ke taaʻi ia.
36 Then sayd he vnto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voyce of the Lord, beholde, as soone as thou art departed from me, a lyon shall slay thee. So when he was departed from him, a lyon found him and slew him.
Pea naʻa ne toki pehē kiate ia, “Koeʻuhi kuo ʻikai te ke fai talangofua ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, vakai, ʻoka ke ka ʻalu atu leva meiate au, ʻe tāmateʻi koe ʻe ha laione.” Pea ʻi heʻene mahuʻi atu leva meiate ia, naʻe maʻu ia ʻe ha laione, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ia.
37 Then he founde another man, and sayde, Smite mee, I pray thee. And the man smote him, and in smiting wounded him.
Pea naʻa ne toki ʻilo ʻae tangata kehe ʻe taha ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou kole ke ke taaʻi au.” Pea naʻe taaʻi ia ʻe he tangata, pea naʻa ne lavea, ʻi hono taaʻi.
38 So the Prophet departed, and wayted for the King by the way, and disguised himselfe with ashes vpon his face.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae palōfita, mo ne tatali ʻi he hala ki he tuʻi, pea naʻa ne fakapuli ia ʻaki ʻae efuefu naʻe ʻai ki hono mata.
39 And when the King came by, he cried vnto the King, and said, Thy seruant went into the middes of the battel: and beholde, there went away a man, whom another man brought vnto me, and sayd, Keepe this man: if he be lost, and want, thy life shall go for his life, or els thou shalt pay a talent of siluer.
Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu ange ai ʻae tuʻi naʻa ne ui atu ki he tuʻi: pea naʻa ne pehē, “Naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ki he lotolotonga ʻoe tau; pea vakai, naʻe afe mai ha tangata ʻo ne ʻomi ha tangata kiate au, mo ne pehē, ‘Puke maʻu ʻae tangata ni: kapau ʻe mole ia ʻi ha meʻa, ʻe toki totongi ʻe hoʻo moʻui ʻa ʻene moʻui ʻaʻana, pea ka ʻikai ia te ke totongi ʻaki ha taleniti siliva ʻe taha.’
40 And as thy seruant had here and there to do, he was gone: And the King of Israel said vnto him, So shall thy iudgement be: thou hast giuen sentence.
Pea lolotonga ʻae femouʻekina ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, ʻiloange kuo ne hao.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kiate ia, “ʻE pehē pe ʻae fakamaauʻi koe; kuo ke fakapapau pe ia ʻe koe.”
41 And hee hasted, and tooke the ashes away from his face: and the King of Israel knewe him that he was of the Prophets:
Pea naʻa ne fai fakatoʻotoʻo ʻo ne toʻo ʻae efuefu mei hono mata; pea naʻe toki ʻilo ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ko e tokotaha ia ʻi he kau palōfita.
42 And he said vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast let goe out of thine handes a man whom I appoynted to dye, thy life shall goe for his life, and thy people for his people.
Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Koeʻuhi kuo ke tukuange mei ho nima ʻae tangata naʻaku tukupau ʻeau ke fakaʻauha ʻaupito, ko ia ʻe totongi ʻaki ʻa hoʻo moʻui ʻa ʻene moʻui ʻaʻana, pea ʻe totongi ʻaki hoʻo kakai ʻa ʻene kakai ʻaʻana.’”
43 And the King of Israel went to his house heauie and in displeasure, and came to Samaria.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ki hono fale kuo māfasia mo mamahi, mo ne hoko ki Samēlia.
