< 1 Kings 14 >
1 At that time, fell sick, Abijah son of Jeroboam.
ʻI he kuonga ko ia naʻe hoko ʻae mahaki kia ʻApisa ko e ʻalo ʻo Selopoami.
2 Then said Jeroboam to his wife—Arise, I pray thee, and feign thyself another, that it be not known, that, thou, art the wife of Jeroboam, —and thou shalt go thy way to Shiloh, lo! there, is Ahijah the prophet, who promised I should be king over this people;
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Selopoami ki hono uaifi, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke tuʻu hake, mo fakapulipuli koe, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ʻilo ko e uaifi koe ʻo Selopoami; pea ke ʻalu ki Sailo; vakai, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa ʻAhisa ko e palōfita, ʻaia naʻa ne fakahā kiate au ke u tuʻi ki he kakai ni.
3 and thou shall take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a bottle of honey, and shalt go unto him, —he, will tell thee what shall befall the young man.
Pea ʻave ʻi ho nima ha foʻi mā ʻe hongofulu, mo e ngaahi foʻi mā manifinifi, mo e hina ʻe taha ʻoe honi, pea ke ʻalu kiate ia: ʻe fakahā ʻe ia kiate koe pe ko e hā ha meʻa ʻe hoko ki he tamasiʻi.”
4 And the wife of Jeroboam, did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and entered the house of Ahijah, —now, Ahijah, could not see, for his eyes were fixed, by reason of his old age.
Pea naʻe fai pehē ʻe he uaifi ʻo Selopoami, mo ne tuʻu hake, ʻo ʻalu ki Sailo, ʻo ne hoko ange ki he fale ʻo ʻAhisa. Pea naʻe ʻikai faʻa mamata ʻe ʻAhisa; he naʻe kui hono mata ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene motuʻa.
5 But, Yahweh, had said unto Ahijah—Lo! the wife of Jeroboam, coming to enquire something of thee, concerning her son, for he is sick, thus and so, shalt thou speak unto her, —though, when she cometh in, she feign to be a stranger-woman.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia ʻAhisa, “Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae uaifi ʻo Selopoami ke fehuʻi kiate koe koeʻuhi ko ʻene tama; he ʻoku mahaki ia: pea ʻe pehē mo pehē ʻa hoʻo lea kiate ia: he koeʻuhi, ʻi heʻene hū mai, te ne fai ʻe ia ʻo hangē ko ha fefine kehe ia.”
6 So it came to pass, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she entered the doorway, that he said—Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam, —wherefore, is it that thou art feigning to be a stranger-woman, seeing that, I, am sent unto thee, with something hard to bear?
Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe ʻAhisa ki he patū ʻo hono vaʻe, ʻi heʻene hū mai ʻi he matapā, naʻa ne pehē, “Hū mai, ʻa koe ko e uaifi ʻo Selopoami; ko e hā ʻoku ke fai ke ke hangē ko ha taha kehe? He kuo fekauʻi au kiate koe mo e ongoongo mamafa.
7 Go, say to Jeroboam—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the midst of the people, —and gave thee to be leader over my people Israel;
ʻAlu, ʻo tala kia Selopoami, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, Koeʻuhi ko ʻeku hakeakiʻi koe mei he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai, pea u tuku ke ke ʻeiki koe ki hoku kakai ʻIsileli,
8 and rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to thee, —and yet thou hast not been like my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me, with all his heart, to do only that which was right in mine eyes;
Pea u haea mai ʻae puleʻanga mei he fale ʻo Tevita, mo foaki ia kiate koe: pea kuo ʻikai te ke tatau mo ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita, ʻaia naʻe fai ki heʻeku ngaahi fekau, pea ne muimui mai kiate au ʻaki ʻa hono loto kotoa, ke fai angatonu pe ʻi hoku ʻao;
9 but hast made wicked thy doings beyond any who were before thee, —and hast gone and made thee ether gods, even molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast, me, behind thy back,
Ka kuo lahi hake ʻa hoʻo fai kovi ʻiate kinautolu fulipē naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻiate koe: he kuo ke ʻalu mo ngaohi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe, mo e ngaahi fakatātā ʻoe ukamea haka, ke fakatupu ʻa ʻeku houhau, pea kuo ke liʻaki au ki ho tuʻa:
10 therefore, behold me! bringing misfortune against the house of Jeroboam, and I will cut off the meanest pertaining to Jeroboam, whether shut up or left at large, in Israel, —and will consume after the house of Jeroboam, as one consumeth dung, till it be all gone:
Ko ia, vakai, te u ʻomi ʻae kovi ki he fale ʻo Selopoami, pea te u motuhi meia Selopoami ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē, pea mo ia ʻoku tāpuni mo toe ʻi ʻIsileli, pea te u ʻave ʻae toenga ʻoe fale ʻo Selopoami, ʻo hangē ko e taufetuku ʻe ha tangata ʻae kinohaʻa, kaeʻoua ke ʻosiʻosi ʻaupito ia.
11 Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city, shall, the dogs, eat, and, him that dieth in the field, shall, the birds of heaven, eat, —For, Yahweh, hath spoken.
Ko ia ʻia Selopoami ʻoku mate ʻi he kolo ʻe keina ia ʻe he fanga kulī; pea ko ia ʻe mate ʻi he ngoue ʻe keina ia ʻe he fanga manupuna; he kuo folofola ki ai ʻa Sihova.’
12 Thou, therefore, arise, go to thine own house, —as thy feet are entering the city, the young man shall die.
Ko ia ke ke tuʻu hake koe, mo ʻalu ki ho fale ʻoʻou: pea ʻoka hū atu ho vaʻe ki he kolo, ʻe mate ʻae tamasiʻi.
13 Then shall all Israel lament for him, and bury him, for, this one, pertaining to Jeroboam, shall reach a burying-place, —because there hath been found in him something good toward Yahweh, God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
Pea ʻe tēngihia ia ʻe ʻIsileli kotoa, mo tanu ia: he ko ia tokotaha pe ʻia Selopoami ʻe hoko ki he faʻitoka, koeʻuhi kuo ʻilo ʻiate ia ha meʻa ʻoku lelei kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he fale ʻo Selopoami.
14 Therefore will Yahweh raise up for himself a king over Israel, who will cut off the house of Jeroboam, this day, but why, even now?
Pea ʻe fokotuʻu hake foki ʻe Sihova maʻana ha tuʻi ki ʻIsileli, ʻaia te ne fakaʻauha ʻae fale ʻo Selopoami ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: kae fēfē? ʻE hoko ia ʻi hono kuonga.
15 Therefore will Yahweh smite Israel, as a reed shaketh in water, and will root out Israel, from off this goodly soil, which he gave unto their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River (Euphrates), —because they have made their Sacred Stems, provoking Yahweh to anger:
Koeʻuhi ʻe taaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e luluʻi ha vaʻakaho ʻi he vai, pea te ne taʻaki fuʻu hake ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fonua lelei ni, ʻaia naʻa ne foaki ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai, pea [te ne ]fakamovetevete kinautolu ki he tuʻa vaitafe, koeʻuhi kuo nau ngaohi ʻae ngaahi vao tapu, ke fakatupu ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova.
16 That he may deliver up Israel, —on account of the sin of Jeroboam, which he committed, and which he caused, Israel, to commit.
Pea te ne liʻaki ʻa ʻIsileli koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi angahala ʻa Selopoami, ʻaia naʻe fai angahala ʻe ia, pea naʻa ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli.”
17 Then arose the wife of Jeroboam, and went her way and entered Tirzah, —as, she, was coming into the entrance hall, the young man died.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae uaifi ʻo Selopoami, mo ne ʻalu, ʻo ne haʻu ki Tilisa: pea ʻi heʻene hoko mai ki he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā, naʻe mate ʻae tamasiʻi;
18 And, when they buried him, all Israel lamented him, —according to the word of Yahweh, which he spake through his servant Ahijah the prophet.
Pea naʻa nau fai hono putu; pea naʻe tēngihia ia ʻe ʻIsileli kātoa, ʻo fakatatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki ʻi heʻene tamaioʻeiki ko ʻAhisa ko e palōfita.
19 Now, the rest of the story of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold them! written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi meʻa naʻe fai ʻe Selopoami, ʻa ʻene ngaahi tau, mo e anga ʻo ʻene pule, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
20 And, the days which Jeroboam reigned, were twenty-two years, —and he slept with his fathers, and, Nadab his son, reigned, in his stead.
Pea ko e kuonga naʻe pule ai ʻa Selopoami ko e taʻu ia ʻe uofulu ma ua: pea naʻa ne tokoto hifo fakataha ia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Natapi ko hono foha.
21 And, Rehoboam, son of Solomon, reigned in Judah, —forty-one years old, was Rehoboam when he began to reign, and seventeen years, reigned he in Jerusalem, the city which Yahweh had chosen to put his Name there, out of all the tribes of Israel, and, his mother’s name, was Naamah, the Ammonitess.
Pea naʻe pule ʻi Siuta ʻa Lehopoami ko e foha ʻo Solomone. Naʻe fāngofulu ma taha ʻae taʻu ʻo Lehopoami ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma fitu, ʻae kolo ko ia naʻe fili ʻe Sihova mei he faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ke tuku ʻi ai ʻa hono huafa. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Neama ko e fefine ʻAmoni.
22 And Judah did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —and provoked him to jealousy, above all that their fathers had done, with their sins which they committed.
Pea naʻe fai kovi ʻa Siuta ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻa nau fakatupu ʻae fuaʻa ʻiate ia ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau ngaahi angahala ʻaia naʻa nau fai, ʻo lahi hake ʻaupito ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe heʻenau ngaahi tamai.
23 And, they also, built for themselves high places and pillars, and Sacred Stems, —upon every high hill, and under every green tree.
He naʻa nau langa foki ʻekinautolu ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga mo e ngaahi tamapua, mo e ngaahi vao tapu, ʻi he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga kotoa pē, pea ʻi he lolo ʻakau mata kotoa pē.
24 Moreover also, there were, male devotees, in the land, —they did according to all the abominable practices of the nations, which Yahweh dispossessed from before the sons of Israel.
Pea naʻe ai ʻae kakai foki ʻi he fonua naʻe angafakasotoma: pea naʻa nau fai ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi meʻa fakalielia kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga ʻaia naʻe kapusi atu mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
25 And it came to pass, in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem;
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi hono nima ʻoe taʻu ʻoe tuʻi ko Lehopoami, naʻe haʻu ʻa Sisaki ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite ke ne tauʻi ʻa Selūsalema.
26 and took away the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the house of the king, yea, the whole, took he away, —and took away all the bucklers of gold, which, Solomon, had made.
Pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻae ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, mo e koloa ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi: ʻio, naʻa ne ʻave kotoa pē: pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻae ngaahi pā koula ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Solomone.
27 So King Rehoboam made, in their stead, bucklers of bronze, —and committed them unto the hand of the captains of the runners, who kept guard at the entrance of the house of the king.
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe he tuʻi ko Lehopoami ʻae ngaahi pā palasa ko hono fetongi, ʻo ne tuku ia ki he nima ʻoe ʻeiki naʻe pule ki he kau leʻo, ʻaia naʻe leʻohi ʻae matapā ʻoe fale ʻoe tuʻi.
28 And so it was, whensoever the king went into the house of Yahweh, the runners bare them, and then brought them back into the chamber of the runners.
Pea naʻe fai ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene hū atu ʻae tuʻi ki he fale ʻo Sihova, naʻe fua atu ia ʻe he kau leʻo, pea nau toe ʻomi ia ki he potu fale ʻoe kau leʻo.
29 Now, the rest of the story of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Pea ko eni, ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Lehopoami, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?
30 And there was, war, between Rehoboam and Jeroboam, continually.
Pea naʻe fai ʻae tau ʻe Lehopoami mo Selopoami ʻi hona ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē.
31 So then Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David, and, the name of his mother, was Naamah the Ammonitess, —and, Abijah his son, reigned, in his stead.
Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Lehopoami mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe tanu ia fakataha mo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Neama ko e fefine ʻAmoni. Pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻi he pule ʻa ʻApisami ko hono foha.
