1 Kings 15

1 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam became king of 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 and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Maacah 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 Abijam walked in all the sins that his father before him had committed, and his heart was not as fully devoted to the LORD his God as the heart of David his forefather had been.

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 the sake of David, the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem by raising up a son to succeed him and to make Jerusalem strong.

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 For David had done what was right in the eyes of the LORD and had not turned aside from anything the LORD commanded all the days of his life, except 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 And there was war between the houses of Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of Abijam’s life.

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

7 As for the rest of the acts of Abijam, along with all his accomplishments, 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 rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David, and his son Asa reigned in his place.

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 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam’s reign over Israel, Asa became king of Judah,

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

10 and he reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother’s name was Maacah 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 what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as his father David had done.

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

12 He banished the male shrine prostitutes from 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 He also removed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made a detestable Asherah pole. Asa chopped down the pole and burned it in the Kidron Valley.

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 The high places were not removed, but Asa’s heart was fully devoted to 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 silver and gold and other articles that he and his father had dedicated.

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 Now there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their days.

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

17 Baasha king of Israel went to war against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of 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 So Asa withdrew all the silver and gold that remained in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace. He entrusted it to his servants and sent them with this message to Ben-hadad son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus:

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 “Let there be a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. See, I have sent you a gift of silver and gold. Now go and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw 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 listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, conquering Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah, and the whole land of Naphtali, including the region of Chinnereth.

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 When Baasha learned of this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and withdrew to 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 summoned all the men of Judah, with no exceptions, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and the timbers Baasha had used for building. And with these materials King Asa built up Geba of Benjamin, as well as 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 the acts of Asa, along with all his might, all his accomplishments, and the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? In his old age, however, he became 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 rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the city of his father David, and his son Jehoshaphat reigned in his place.

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 In the second year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Nadab son of Jeroboam became king of Israel, and he reigned 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 evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of his father and in his sin, which he had caused Israel to commit.

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 Then Baasha son of Ahijah of the house of Issachar conspired against Nadab, and Baasha struck him down at Gibbethon of the Philistines while Nadab and all Israel were besieging the city.

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 In the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha killed Nadab and reigned in his place.

‌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 As soon as Baasha became king, he struck down the entire household of Jeroboam. He did not leave to Jeroboam anyone that breathed, but destroyed them all according to the word that the LORD had spoken through 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 because of the sins Jeroboam had committed and had caused Israel to commit, and because he had 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 As for the rest of the acts of Nadab, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book 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 throughout 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’s reign over Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah became king of all Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah twenty-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 Baasha did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin, which he had caused Israel to commit.

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.
