2 Kings 15

1 In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam’s reign over Israel, Azariah son of Amaziah became king of Judah.

‌ʻI he taʻu ʻe uofulu ma fitu ʻo Selopoami ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻe kamata pule ki Siuta ʻa ʻAsalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAmasia.

2 He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.

Naʻe hongofulu ma ono taʻu ʻene motuʻa ʻi heʻene hoko ki he pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe nimangofulu ma ua ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Sekolia ʻo Selūsalema.

3 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Amaziah had done.

Pea naʻe fai lelei ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe heʻene tamai ko ʻAmasia;

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

Ka ko e ngaahi potu māʻolunga naʻe ʻikai liʻaki: naʻe feilaulau mo tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻe he kakai ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga.

5 And the LORD afflicted the king with leprosy until the day he died, so that he lived in a separate house while his son Jotham had charge of the palace and governed the people of the land.

Pea naʻe taaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae tuʻi, pea naʻa ne kilia ai ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻo ʻene mate; pea naʻa ne nofo ʻi he fale mavahe. Pea naʻe pule ʻa Sotami ko e foha ʻoe tuʻi ki he fale pea naʻe fakamaau ʻe ia ʻae kakai ʻoe fonua.

6 As for the rest of the acts of Azariah, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa ʻAsalia mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, ʻikai ʻoku tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?

7 And Azariah rested with his fathers and was buried near them in the City of David. And his son Jotham reigned in his place.

Ko ia, naʻe mohe ʻa ʻAsalia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai; pea naʻa nau tanu ia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Sotami ko hono foha.

8 In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah’s reign over Judah, Zechariah son of Jeroboam became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria six months.

ʻI hono tolungofulu ma valu ʻoe taʻu ʻo ʻAsalia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, naʻe pule ʻa Sakalia ko e foha ʻo Selopoami ki ʻIsileli ʻi Samēlia ʻi he māhina ʻe ono.

9 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers had done. He did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.

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

10 Then Shallum son of Jabesh conspired against Zechariah, struck him down and killed him in front of the people, and reigned in his place.

Pea naʻe lapasi ia ʻe Salumi ko e foha ʻo Sepesi, ʻo ne taaʻi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, pea ne tāmateʻi ia, pea naʻa ne fetongi ia ʻi he pule.

11 As for the rest of the acts of Zechariah, they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sakalia, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.

12 So the word of the LORD spoken to Jehu was fulfilled: “Four generations of your sons will sit on the throne of Israel.”

Ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻe folofolaʻaki kia Sehu ʻo pehē, “ʻE nofo ho ngaahi foha ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo aʻu ki hono fā ʻoe toʻutangata. Pea naʻe hoko ia ʻo pehē pe.”

13 In the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah’s reign over Judah, Shallum son of Jabesh became king, and he reigned in Samaria one full month.

ʻI hono tolungofulu ma hiva ʻoe taʻu ʻo ʻUsaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, naʻe kamata pule ʻa Salumi ko e foha ʻo Sepesi; pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he māhina kātoa ʻe taha ʻi Samēlia.

14 Then Menahem son of Gadi went up from Tirzah to Samaria, struck down and killed Shallum son of Jabesh, and reigned in his place.

He naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Minehemi ko e foha ʻo Kati, mei Tilisa, pea haʻu ia ki Samēlia, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻa Salumi ko e foha ʻo Sepesi ʻi Samēlia, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ia, pea naʻa ne fetongi ia ʻi he pule.

15 As for the rest of the acts of Shallum, along with the conspiracy he led, they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

Ka ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Salumi, mo ʻene fai ʻae lapa, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.

16 At that time Menahem, starting from Tirzah, attacked Tiphsah and everyone in its vicinity, because they would not open their gates. So he attacked Tiphsah and ripped open all the pregnant women.

Pea naʻe toki taaʻi ʻe Minehemi ʻa Tifisa, mo ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai, mo hono ngaahi potu ngataʻanga, ʻo aʻu ki Tilisa: koe meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te nau fakaava ia kiate ia, ko ia naʻa ne taaʻi ai ia; pea ko e kau fefine feitama kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai naʻa ne hae hake.

17 In the thirty-ninth year of Azariah’s reign over Judah, Menahem son of Gadi became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria ten years.

‌ʻI hono tolungofulu ma hiva ʻoe taʻu ʻo ʻAsalia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta naʻe kamata pule ki ʻIsileli ʻa Minehemi ko e foha ʻo Kati, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ʻi Samēlia.

18 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and throughout his reign he did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.

Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē naʻe ʻikai te ne liʻaki ʻae ngaahi angahala ʻa Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, ʻaia naʻa ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli.

19 Then Pul king of Assyria invaded the land, and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver in order to gain his support and strengthen his own grip on the kingdom.

Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Puli ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ke tauʻi ʻae fonua: pea naʻe ʻatu ʻe Minehemi kia Puli ʻae taleniti siliva ʻe taha afe, koeʻuhi ke na kau taha ke fakatuʻumaʻu ʻae puleʻanga ʻi hono nima.

20 Menahem exacted this money from each of the wealthy men of Israel—fifty shekels of silver from each man—to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria withdrew and did not remain in the land.

Pea naʻe pule ʻe Minehemi ke ʻomi ʻae ngaahi paʻanga mei ʻIsileli, ʻio, mei he kau tangata ongoongo mo koloaʻia, ʻi he tangata taki taha kotoa pē ko e sikeli siliva ʻe nimangofulu, ke foaki ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia. Ko ia, naʻe toe ʻalu ai ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, pea naʻe ʻikai nofomaʻu ia ʻi he fonua.

21 As for the rest of the acts of Menahem, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

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

22 And Menahem rested with his fathers, and his son Pekahiah reigned in his place.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Minehemi mo ʻene ngaahi tamai; pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Pikaia ko hono foha.

23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah’s reign over Judah, Pekahiah son of Menahem became king of Israel and reigned in Samaria two years.

ʻI hono nimangofulu taʻu ʻo ʻAsalia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta naʻe kamata pule ki ʻIsileli ʻi Samēlia ʻa Pikaia ko e foha ʻo Minehemi pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe ua.

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

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

25 Then his officer, Pekah son of Remaliah, conspired against him along with Argob, Arieh, and fifty men of Gilead. And at the citadel of the king’s palace in Samaria, Pekah struck down and killed Pekahiah and reigned in his place.

Ka naʻe te u lapa kiate ia ʻa Peka ko e foha ʻo Limalia ko ʻene ʻeikitau ʻe taha ʻaʻana, ʻo ne taaʻi ia ʻi Samēlia, ʻi he potu tapu ʻoe fale ʻoe tuʻi, fakataha mo ʻAakopi mo ʻEliia, pea mo e kau tangata Kiliati ʻe toko nimangofulu: pea naʻa ne tāmateʻi ia, pea ne fetongi ia ʻi he pule.

26 As for the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, along with all his accomplishments, they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Pikaia, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.

27 In the fifty-second year of Azariah’s reign over Judah, Pekah son of Remaliah became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria twenty years.

ʻI hono nimangofulu ma ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo ʻAsalia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, naʻe kamata pule ʻa Peka ko e foha ʻo Limalia ki ʻIsileli ʻi Samēlia, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu,

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

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

29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria came and captured Ijon, Abel-beth-maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, and Galilee, including all the land of Naphtali, and he took the people as captives to Assyria.

Naʻe haʻu ʻa Tekilati-Pilesa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Peka ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo ne kapasia ʻa Isoni mo ʻEpeli-Petemeaka, mo Sanoa, mo Ketesi, mo Hasoa, mo Kiliati, mo Kāleli, ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻo Nafitali, pea naʻe fetuku pōpula ʻakinautolu ki ʻAsilia.

30 Then Hoshea son of Elah led a conspiracy against Pekah son of Remaliah. In the twentieth year of Jotham son of Uzziah, Hoshea attacked Pekah, killed him, and reigned in his place.

Pea naʻe fai ʻae lapa ʻe Hosea ko e foha ʻo Ela kia Peka ko e foha ʻo Limalia, ʻo ne taaʻi ia, pea ne tāmateʻi ia, pea ne fetongi ia ʻi he pule, ʻi hono uofulu ʻoe taʻu ʻo Sotami ko e foha ʻo ʻUsaia.

31 As for the rest of the acts of Pekah, along with all his accomplishments, they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Peka mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.

32 In the second year of the reign of Pekah son of Remaliah over Israel, Jotham son of Uzziah became king of Judah.

ʻI hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo Peka ko e foha ʻo Limalia ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻe kamata pule ki Siuta ʻa Sotami ko e foha ʻo ʻUsaia.

33 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok.

Naʻe uofulu ma nima ʻae taʻu ʻo ʻene motuʻa ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ono ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Silusa, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Satoki.

34 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Uzziah had done.

Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: naʻe fai ia ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe heʻene tamai ko ʻUsaia.

35 Nevertheless, the high places were not taken away; the people continued sacrificing and burning incense there. Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD.

Ka naʻe ʻikai siʻaki ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga: naʻe kei feilaulau mo tutu meʻa namu kakala ʻe he kakai ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga. Naʻe langa ʻe ia ʻae matapā māʻolunga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.

36 As for the rest of the acts of Jotham, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

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

37 (In those days the LORD began to send Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah against Judah.)

‌ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe kamata ueʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa Lisini ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia, mo Peka ko e foha ʻo Limalia ke na tauʻi ʻa Siuta.

38 And Jotham rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David his father. And his son Ahaz reigned in his place.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Sotami mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe tanu ia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita, ko ʻene tamai: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko ʻAhasi.
