2 Kings 14

1 In the second year of the reign of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz over Israel, Amaziah son of Joash became king of Judah.

‌ʻI hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo Soasi ko e foha ʻo Sihoaasi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli naʻe pule ʻa ʻAmasia ko e foha ʻo Soasi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta.

2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan; she was from Jerusalem.

Naʻe uofulu ma nima ʻae taʻu ʻo ʻene motuʻa ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi Selūsalema, ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu ma hiva. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Sihoatani, ʻo Selūsalema.

3 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, but not as his father David had done. He did everything as his father Joash had done.

Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae meʻa naʻe lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne tatau mo Tevita ko ʻene tamai: naʻa ne fai ʻo fakatatau mo e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe Soasi ko ʻene tamai.

4 Nevertheless, the high places were not taken away, and the people continued sacrificing and burning incense on the high places.

Ka neongo ia naʻe ʻikai ʻave ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga: naʻe kei fai ʻe he kakai ʻae feilaulau mo e tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga.

5 As soon as the kingdom was firmly in his grasp, Amaziah executed the servants who had murdered his father the king.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene tuʻumaʻu leva ʻae puleʻanga ki hono nima, naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻakinautolu naʻe fakapoongi ʻae tuʻi ko ʻene tamai.

6 Yet he did not put the sons of the murderers to death, but acted according to what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, where the LORD commanded: “Fathers must not be put to death for their children, and children must not be put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin.”

Ka naʻe ʻikai tāmateʻi ʻe ia ʻae fānau ʻae kau fakapō: kae hangē ko ia ʻoku tohi ʻi he tohi ʻoe fono ʻa Mōsese, ʻaia naʻe fekau ai ʻe Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻikai tāmateʻi ʻae tamai koeʻuhi ko e fānau, pe tāmateʻi ʻae fānau koeʻuhi ko ʻenau ngaahi tamai; ka ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae tangata taki taha koeʻuhi ko ʻene angahala ʻaʻana pe.”

7 Amaziah struck down 10,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. He took Sela in battle and called it Joktheel, which is its name to this very day.

Naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻae kakai ʻItomi ʻe tokotaha mano, ʻi he teleʻa ʻoe māsima, pea naʻa ne kapa ʻa Sila ʻi he tau, pea naʻa ne ui ʻa hono hingoa ko Sokitili ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.

8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to the king of Israel Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu. “Come, let us meet face to face,” he said.

Pea naʻe kouna ʻe ʻAmasia ʻae kau talafekau kia Soasa, ko e foha ʻo Sihoaasi ko e foha ʻo Sehu, ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “Haʻu, ke ta fesiofaki ʻakitaua ko e mata ki he mata.”

9 But Jehoash king of Israel replied to Amaziah king of Judah: “A thistle in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son in marriage.’ Then a wild beast in Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle.

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Soasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia ʻAmasia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe fekau atu ʻe he talatalaʻāmoa ʻaia naʻe ʻi Lepanoni ki he sita ʻaia naʻe ʻi Lepanoni, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Foaki mai ho ʻofefine ki hoku foha kena mali:’ pea naʻe ʻalu ange ha manu fekai naʻe nofo ʻi Lepanoni, ʻo ne malamalaki hifo ʻae talatalaʻāmoa.”

10 You have indeed defeated Edom, and your heart has become proud. Glory in that and stay at home. Why should you stir up trouble so that you fall—you and Judah with you?”

Ko e moʻoni kuo ke teʻia ʻa ʻItomi, pea kuo angahiki ai ho loto: ke ke monūʻia, pea ke nofo ai pe ʻi ho fale: he koeʻumaʻā ʻa hoʻo lavea ʻi he kaunoa pe, mo ke hinga ai, ʻio, ʻa koe, pea mo Siuta fakataha mo koe?

11 But Amaziah would not listen, and Jehoash king of Israel advanced. He and King Amaziah of Judah faced each other at Beth-shemesh in Judah.

Ka naʻe ʻikai fie fakaongo ʻa ʻAmasia ki ai. Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻa Soasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli; pea naʻe fesiofaki ia mo ʻAmasia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ko e mata ki he mata ʻi Pete-Semesi ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Siuta.

12 And Judah was routed before Israel, and every man fled to his home.

Pea naʻe teʻia ʻa Siuta ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli; pea naʻe hola ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono fale fehikitaki.

13 There at Beth-shemesh, Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Ahaziah. Then Jehoash went to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate—a section of four hundred cubits.

Pea naʻe maʻu ʻa ʻAmasia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ko e foha ʻo Soasa ko e foha ʻo ʻAhasia, ʻe Soasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi Pete-Semesi, ʻo ne ʻomi ki Selūsalema, pea ne holoki hifo ʻae ʻa ʻo Selūsalema mei he matapā ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻo aʻu ki he matapā ʻoe tuliki, ko e hanga ʻe valungeau.

14 He took all the gold and silver and all the articles found in the house of the LORD and in the treasuries of the royal palace, as well as some hostages. Then he returned to Samaria.

Pea naʻa ne toʻo ʻae koula kotoa pē mo e siliva, pea mo e ngaahi nāunau naʻe ʻilo ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, pea ʻi he tukunga koloa ʻoe fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea mo e kau pōpula, pea ne toe ʻalu ai ki Samēlia.

15 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoash, along with his accomplishments, his might, and how he waged war against Amaziah king of Judah, 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 Soasa, ʻaia naʻa ne fai, pea mo ʻene mālohi, pea mo ʻene tau mo ʻAmasia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?

16 And Jehoash rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. And his son Jeroboam reigned in his place.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Soasa mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe fai hono putu ki Samēlia fakataha mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli; pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Selopoami ko hono foha.

17 Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.

Pea ko ʻAmasia ko e foha ʻo Soasi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta naʻe moʻui ia hili ʻae pekia ʻa Soasa ko e foha ʻo Sihoaasi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma nima.

18 As for the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa ʻAmasia, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?

19 And conspirators plotted against Amaziah in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But men were sent after him to Lachish, and they killed him there.

Ka ko eni, naʻa nau teuteu ke fai ʻae lapa kiate ia ʻi Selūsalema: pea naʻa ne hola ki Lakisi; ka naʻa nau fekau ke tuli ia ki Lakisi, pea naʻa nau tāmate ia ʻi ai.

20 They carried him back on horses and buried him in Jerusalem with his fathers in the City of David.

Pea naʻa nau fakaheka ia mo ʻomi ia ʻi he fanga hoosi: pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi Selūsalema fakataha mo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita.

21 Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.

Pea naʻe ʻave ʻa ʻAsalia ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻi hono hongofulu ma nima ʻo ʻene taʻu, mo nau fakanofo ia ke tuʻi ko e fetongi ʻo ʻene tamai ko ʻAmasia.

22 Azariah was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after King Amaziah rested with his fathers.

Naʻa ne langa ʻe ia ʻa ʻElati, mo ne toe ʻange ia ki Siuta, ʻi he ʻene hili ʻae mohe ʻae tuʻi ki heʻene ngaahi tamai.

23 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Amaziah son of Joash over Judah, Jeroboam son of Jehoash became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria forty-one years.

ʻI hono hongofulu ma nima ʻoe taʻu ʻa ʻAmasia ko e foha ʻo Soasi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, naʻe kamata pule ʻi Samēlia ʻa Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Soasi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu ma taha.

24 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.

Pea naʻa ne fai ʻe ia ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: naʻe ʻikai mahuʻi ia mei he ngaahi angahala ʻa Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, ʻaia naʻe fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli.

25 This Jeroboam restored the boundary of Israel from Lebo-hamath to the Sea of the Arabah, according to the word that the LORD, the God of Israel, had spoken through His servant Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath-hepher.

Naʻa ne toe fokotuʻu ʻae ngataʻanga ʻo ʻIsileli mei he hūʻanga ʻo Hemati ʻo aʻu ki he tahi ʻoe potu tokalelei, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki ʻi heʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Siona, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmitai, ko e palōfita, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Katihefeli.

26 For the LORD saw that the affliction of the Israelites, both slave and free, was very bitter. There was no one to help Israel,

He naʻe ʻafioʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae mamahi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻa ʻene kovi lahi ʻaupito: he naʻe ʻikai kei ai ha niʻihi naʻe nofo ʻi lotoʻā pe ʻalu kituʻa, pe ha taha ke tokoni ʻa ʻIsileli.

27 and since the LORD had said that He would not blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, He saved them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash.

Pea naʻe ʻikai pehē ʻe Sihova te ne tāmateʻi ʻae hingoa ʻo ʻIsileli mei he lalo langi: ka naʻa ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻi he nima ʻo Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Soasi.

28 As for the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, along with all his accomplishments and might, and how he waged war and recovered both Damascus and Hamath for Israel from Judah, 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 Selopoami, mo e meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, pea mo ʻene mālohi, ʻae anga ʻo ʻene faʻa tau, pea mo e meʻa naʻa ne toe maʻu ai ʻa Tamasikusi, mo Hemati, ʻaia naʻe kau ki Siuta, ke ʻia ʻIsileli ia, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?

29 And Jeroboam rested with his fathers, the kings of Israel. And his son Zechariah reigned in his place.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Selopoami mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli; pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko Sakalia.
