1 Kings 15

1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat began Abijam to reign over Judah.

Pea ko eni ʻi hono hongofulu ma valu ʻoe taʻu ʻoe tuʻi ko Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati naʻe pule ʻa ʻApisami ki Siuta.

2 Three years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

Naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolu ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Meaka, ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻApisalomi.

3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.

Pea naʻa ne muimui ki he angahala kotoa pē ʻo ʻene tamai, ʻaia naʻa ne fai ki muʻa ʻiate ia: pea naʻe ʻikai haohaoa ʻa hono loto kia Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko e loto ʻo ʻene tamai ko Tevita.

4 Nevertheless for David’s sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:

Ka neongo ia naʻe foaki kiate ia ha maama ʻi Selūsalema ʻe Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ko Tevita, ke ne hakeakiʻi ʻa hono foha ki mui ʻiate ia, pea ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻa Selūsalema:

5 because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

Koeʻuhi naʻe fai totonu ʻa Tevita ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe ʻikai tafoki ia mei ha meʻa ʻe taha naʻa ne fekau kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui, ka ʻi he meʻa pe kia ʻUlia ko e tangata Heti.

6 Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

Pea naʻe fai ai pe ʻae tau ʻe Lehopoami mo Selopoami ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui.

7 And the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

Pea ko eni ko e toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue naʻe fai ʻe ʻApisami, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta? Pea naʻe tau ʻa ʻApisami mo Selopoami.

8 And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa ʻApisami mo ʻene ngaahi tamai; pea naʻa nau fai hono putu ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita: pea ko ʻAsa ko hono foha naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule.

9 And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Asa to reign over Judah.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻa ʻAsa ʻo pule ki Siuta ʻi hono uofulu ʻoe taʻu ʻa Selopoami ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.

10 And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

Pea naʻe pule ia ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu ma taha. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene kui ko Meaka, ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻApisalomi.

11 And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.

Pea naʻe fai ʻe ʻAsa ʻaia naʻe totonu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko Tevita ko ʻene tamai.

12 And he put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

Pea naʻa ne ʻave mei he fonua ʻae kakai angafakasotoma, mo ne ʻave ʻae ngaahi tamapua ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe heʻene ngaahi tamai.

13 And also Maacah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.

Pea ko Meaka foki ko ʻene kui naʻa ne liliu ia mei heʻene nofo ko e tuʻi fefine, koeʻuhi ko ʻene ngaohi ha tamapua ʻi ha vao tapu; pea naʻe maumauʻi ʻe ʻAsa ʻa hono tamapua, ʻo ne tutu ia ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ko Kitiloni.

14 But the high places were not taken away: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the LORD all his days.

Ka naʻe ʻikai liʻaki ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga: ka neongo ia naʻe angatonu kia Sihova ʻae loto ʻo ʻAsa ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē.

15 And he brought into the house of the LORD the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.

Pea naʻa ne fetuku mai ʻae ngaahi meʻa tapu ʻaia naʻe fakatapui ʻe heʻene tamai, mo e ngaahi meʻa naʻa ne fakatapui ʻe ia, ki he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻae siliva, mo e koula, pea mo e ngaahi ipu.

16 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

Pea naʻe faʻa tau ʻa ʻAsa pea mo Paʻasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi hona ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē.

17 And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Paʻasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ki Siuta, pea naʻa ne langa ʻa Lama, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ne tuku ha tokotaha ke ʻalu atu pe hū mai kia ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta.

18 Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,

Pea naʻe toki ʻave ʻe ʻAsa ʻae toenga siliva mo e koula kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe tuku ʻi he ngaahi tukunga koloa ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, mo e koloa ʻoe fale ʻoe tuʻi, ʻo ne ʻatu ia ki he nima ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki: pea naʻe ʻave ia ʻe ʻAsa kia Peni-Hatati, ko e foha ʻo Tapilimoni, ko e foha ʻo Hesioni, ko e foha ʻo Tapilimoni, ko e foha ʻo Hesioni, ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Tamasikusi, ʻo ne lea ʻo pehē,

19 [There is] a league between me and thee, between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

Kuo ta fefuakavaʻaki ʻakitaua, pea pehē mo ʻeku tamai pea mo hoʻo tamai: “Pea vakai, kuo u fekau atu kiate koe ha meʻaʻofa ko e siliva mo e koula; haʻu ʻo maumauʻi ʻa hoʻo fuakava mo Paʻasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻalu ʻiate au.”

20 And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-beth-maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

Ko ia naʻe tokanga ʻa Peni-Hatati ki he tuʻi ko ʻAsa, mo ne fekau atu ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki pule ʻoe kautau naʻe ʻiate ia ke tauʻi ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻa ne teʻia ʻa Isoni, mo Tani, mo ʻEpeli-Petemeʻaka, pea mo Kineloti kātoa, pea mo e fonua kotoa pē ʻo Nafitali.

21 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fanongo ki ai ʻa Paʻasa, naʻa ne tutuku mei heʻene langa ʻa Lama, pea nofo ia ʻi Tilisa.

22 Then king Asa made a proclamation unto all Judah; none was exempted: and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built therewith Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

Pea naʻe toki fai fono ʻe ʻAsa ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻo Siuta; naʻe ʻikai ha potu ʻe taʻekau: pea naʻa nau fetuku ʻo ʻave ʻae ngaahi maka ʻo Lama, pea mo hono ngaahi ʻakau, ʻaia naʻe langa ʻaki ia ʻe Paʻasa; pea naʻe langa ʻaki ia ʻe ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻa Kepa ʻo Penisimani, pea mo Misipa.

23 Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue naʻe fai ʻe ʻAsa, pea mo ʻene mālohi kātoa, mo ia fulipē naʻa ne fai, mo e ngaahi kolo naʻa ne langa, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta? Ka ʻi he kuonga ʻo ʻene motuʻa lahi naʻa ne mahakiʻia ʻi hono vaʻe.

24 And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa ʻasi mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe fai hono putu ki he potu ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita ko ʻene tamai: pea naʻe pule ʻa Sihosafate ko hono foha, ko hono fetongi.

25 And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years.

Pea naʻe kamata pule ʻa Natapi ko e foha ʻo Selopoami ʻi ʻIsileli ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻa ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea naʻa ne pule ki ʻIsileli ʻi he taʻu ʻe ua.

26 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.

Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻi he hala ʻo ʻene tamai, pea ʻi he angahala ʻaia naʻa ne fakaangahala ai ʻa ʻIsileli.

27 And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.

Pea naʻe fakalangalanga tau kiate ia ʻe Paʻasa ko e foha ʻo ʻAhisa, ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsaka; pea naʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻe Paʻasa ʻi Kipitoni, ʻaia ʻoku ʻoe kakai Filisitia; he naʻe kāpui ʻa Kipitoni ʻaki ʻae tau ʻe Natapi pea mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē.

28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.

‌ʻIo, ʻi hono tolu ʻoe taʻu ʻa ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta naʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻe Paʻasa, mo ne totongi ai ia ʻi he pule.

29 And it came to pass that, as soon as he was king, he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him; according unto the saying of the LORD, which he spake by the hand of his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, lolotonga ʻa ʻene pule ʻaʻana, naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻae fale kātoa ʻo Selopoami; naʻe ʻikai tuku kia Selopoami ha tokotaha naʻe kei mānava, ka naʻa ne fakaʻauha ia, ʻo fakatatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki ʻi heʻene tamaioʻeiki ko ʻAhisa ko e tangata Sailo:

30 for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and wherewith he made Israel to sin; because of his provocation wherewith he provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger.

Koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi angahala ʻa Selopoami, ʻaia naʻa ne angahala ai, mo ne fakaangahala ʻaki ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi heʻene ʻahiʻahiʻi kovi ʻaia naʻa ne ʻahiʻahiʻi kovi ai kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ke ne houhau ai.

31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the hook of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

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

32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

Pea naʻe faʻa tau ʻa ʻAsa mo Paʻasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi hona ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē.

33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, [and reigned] twenty and four years.

‌ʻI hono tolu ʻoe taʻu ʻa ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta naʻe kamata ai ʻae pule ʻa Paʻasa ko e foha ʻo ʻAhisa ki ʻIsileli kātoa ʻi Tilisa, ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu ma fā.

34 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.

Pea naʻa ne fai ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, mo ne ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻo Selopoami, pea ʻi he kovi ʻaʻana ʻaia naʻa ne fakaangahala ai ʻa ʻIsileli.
