2 Kings 13

1 In the twenty-third year of the reign of Joash son of Ahaziah over Judah, Jehoahaz son of Jehu became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria seventeen years.

‌ʻI hono uofulu ma tolu ʻoe taʻu ʻo Soasi ko e foha ʻo ʻAhasia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, naʻe kamata pule ki ʻIsileli ʻi Samēlia ʻa Sihoaasi ko e foha ʻo Sehu, pea [naʻa ne pule ]ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma fitu.

2 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and followed the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit; he did not turn away from them.

Pea naʻa ne fai ʻae meʻa naʻe kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻa ne muimui ki he ngaahi angahala ʻa Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, ʻaia naʻe fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli naʻe ʻikai te ne mahuʻi mei ai.

3 So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He delivered them continually into the hands of Hazael king of Aram and his son Ben-hadad.

Pea naʻe fakatupu ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ki ʻIsileli, pea naʻa ne tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo Hasaeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia, pea ki he nima ʻo Peni-Hatati ko e foha ʻo Hasaeli, ʻi hona ngaahi ʻaho ʻonaua.

4 Then Jehoahaz sought the favor of the LORD, and the LORD listened to him because He saw the oppression that the king of Aram had inflicted on Israel.

Pea naʻe kole ʻe Sihoaasi kia Sihova, pea naʻe ongoʻi ia ʻe Sihova: he naʻa ne ʻafioʻi ʻae fakamālohiʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, he naʻe fakamālohiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Silia.

5 So the LORD gave Israel a deliverer, and they escaped the power of the Arameans. Then the people of Israel lived in their own homes as they had before.

(Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae fakamoʻui kiate kinautolu, ko ia naʻa nau hao atu ai mei he nima ʻoe kakai Silia: pea naʻe toe nofo ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi muʻa.

6 Nevertheless, they did not turn away from the sins that the house of Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit, but they continued to walk in them. The Asherah pole even remained standing in Samaria.

Ka neongo ia naʻe ʻikai mahuʻi ʻakinautolu mei he ngaahi angahala ʻoe fale ʻo Selopoami, ʻaia naʻe fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli, ka naʻa nau ʻalu ai: pea naʻe kei tuʻu foki ʻae vaotapu ʻi Samēlia.)

7 Jehoahaz had no army left, except fifty horsemen, ten chariots, and ten thousand foot soldiers, because the king of Aram had destroyed them and made them like the dust at threshing.

Pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ha kakai kia Sihoaasi ka ko e kau heka hoosi ʻe toko nimangofulu pe, mo e saliote ʻe hongofulu, pea mo e kakai hāʻele ʻe tokotaha mano; he kuo fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Silia, mo ne ngaohi ʻakinautolu ke tatau mo e efu ʻoe hahaʻanga.

8 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, along with all his accomplishments and his might, 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 Sihoaasi, pea mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, pea mo ʻene mālohi, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?

9 And Jehoahaz rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria. And his son Jehoash reigned in his place.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Sihoaasi mo ʻene ngaahi tamai; pea naʻa nau fai hono putu ʻi Samēlia; pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Soasi ko hono foha.

10 In the thirty-seventh year of the reign of Joash over Judah, Jehoash son of Jehoahaz became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned sixteen years.

ʻI hono tolungofulu ma fitu ʻoe taʻu ʻo Soasi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta naʻe kamata pule ki ʻIsileli ʻi Samēlia ʻa Soasa ko e foha ʻo Sihoaasi, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ono.

11 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and did not turn away from all the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit, but he walked in them.

Pea naʻa ne fai ʻae meʻa naʻe kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; naʻe ʻikai mahuʻi ia mei he ngaahi angahala kotoa pē ʻa Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, ʻaia naʻe fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli: ka naʻa ne ʻalu ai pe.

12 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoash, along with all his accomplishments and his might, including his war against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Soasi, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, pea mo ʻene mālohi ʻi heʻene tauʻi ʻa ʻAmasia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?

13 And Jehoash rested with his fathers, and Jeroboam succeeded him on the throne. Jehoash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Soasi mo ʻene ngaahi tamai; pea naʻe nofo ʻa Selopoami ki hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi: pea naʻe tanu ʻa Soasi ʻi Samēlia fakataha mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.

14 When Elisha had fallen sick with the illness from which he would die, Jehoash king of Israel came down to him and wept over him, saying, “My father, my father, the chariots and horsemen of Israel!”

Ka ko eni naʻe pukea ʻa ʻIlaisa ʻi he mahaki ʻaia naʻa ne toki fononga ai. Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo kiate ia ʻa Soasi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻe tangi ia ki hono mata, mo ne pehē, “ʻOiauē, ʻa ʻeku tamai, ʻa ʻeku tamai! ko e saliote ʻo ʻIsileli mo e kau heka hoosi ʻo ia!”

15 Elisha told him, “Take a bow and some arrows.” So Jehoash took a bow and some arrows.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa kiate ia, “Toʻo ʻae kaufana mo e ngaahi ngahau.” Pea naʻa ne toʻo mai kiate ia ʻae kaufana pea mo e ngaahi ngahau

16 Then Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow.” So the king put his hand on the bow, and Elisha put his hands on the king’s hands.

Pea naʻa ne pehē ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “ʻAi ho nima ki he kaufana.” Pea naʻa ne ʻai hono nima ki ai: pea naʻe ʻai ʻe ʻIlaisa ʻa hono nima ʻoʻona ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi.

17 “Open the east window,” said Elisha. So he opened it and Elisha said, “Shoot!” So he shot. And Elisha declared: “This is the LORD’s arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram, for you shall strike the Arameans in Aphek until you have put an end to them.”

Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Fakaava ʻae matapā sioʻata ki he potu hahake.” Pea naʻa ne fakaava ia. Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa, “Fana.” Pea naʻa ne fana. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e ngahau eni ʻoe fakamoʻui ʻa Sihova, pea mo e ngahau ʻoe fakamoʻui mei Silia: he te ke teʻia ʻae kakai Silia ʻi ʻAfeki, kaeʻoua ke nau ʻauha ʻiate koe.”

18 Then Elisha said, “Take the arrows!” So he took them, and Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground!” So he struck the ground three times and stopped.

Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Toʻo ʻae ngaahi ngahau.” Pea naʻa ne toʻo ia. Pea naʻa ne pehē ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “Ke ke taaʻi ʻae kelekele.” Pea naʻa ne tā ia ʻo liunga tolu pea tuku.

19 But the man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck the ground five or six times. Then you would have struck down Aram until you had put an end to it. But now you will strike down Aram only three times.”

Pea naʻe mamahi kiate ia ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe totonu ʻa hoʻo tā ke liunga nima pe liunga ono; ka ne pehē, pehē kuo ke teʻia ʻae kakai Silia kaeʻoua ke nau ʻauha; ka ko eni ʻe tuʻo tolu pe ʻa hoʻo teʻia ʻa Silia.”

20 And Elisha died and was buried. Now the Moabite raiders used to come into the land every spring.

Pea naʻe pekia ʻa ʻIlaisa, pea naʻa nau ʻai hono putu. Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kautau ʻa Moape ki he fonua ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻoe taʻu.

21 Once, as the Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders, so they threw the man’s body into Elisha’s tomb. And as soon as his body touched the bones of Elisha, the man was revived and stood up on his feet.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē lolotonga ʻenau tanu ha tangata, ʻiloange naʻa nau sio ki ha kautau; pea naʻa nau laku atu ʻae tangata ki he fonualoto ʻo ʻIlaisa: pea ʻi heʻene tō hifo ki ai ʻae tangata mo lave ki he ngaahi hui ʻo ʻIlaisa, naʻa ne toe moʻui hake mo ne tuʻu ki ʻolunga ki hono vaʻe.

22 And Hazael king of Aram oppressed Israel throughout the reign of Jehoahaz.

Ka naʻe fakamālohiʻi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe Hasaeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo Sihoaasi.

23 But the LORD was gracious to Israel and had compassion on them, and He turned toward them because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And to this day, the LORD has been unwilling to destroy them or cast them from His presence.

Pea naʻe angaʻofa ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu, pea naʻa ne manavaʻofa kiate kinautolu, pea naʻa ne tokanga kiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi ko ʻene fuakava mo ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea mo Sēkope, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne fie fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne lī atu leva ʻakinautolu mei hono ʻao.

24 When Hazael king of Aram died, his son Ben-hadad reigned in his place.

Ko ia naʻe pekia ʻa Hasaeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia; pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Penihatati ko hono foha.

25 Then Jehoash son of Jehoahaz took back from Ben-hadad son of Hazael the cities that Hazael had taken in battle from his father Jehoahaz. Jehoash defeated Ben-hadad three times, and so recovered the cities of Israel.

Pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻo maʻu ʻe Soasa ko e foha ʻo Sihoaasi mei he nima ʻo Penihatati ko e foha ʻo Hasaeli, ʻae ngaahi kolo, ʻaia naʻa ne lavaʻi mei he nima ʻo Sihoaasi ko ʻene tamai ʻi he tau. Naʻe tuʻo tolu ʻae lava ia ʻe Soasi, mo ne toe maʻu ai ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻIsileli.
