Kings III 22
1 And he rested three years, and there was no war between Syria and Israel.
Pea naʻa nau nofo pe ʻo tolu taʻu mo e taʻefai ha tau ʻe Silia mo ʻIsileli.
2 And it came to pass in the third year, that Josaphat king of Juda went down to the king of Israel.
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki hono tolu ʻoe taʻu, naʻe hoko hifo ʻa Sihosafate ko e tuʻi Siuta ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
3 And the king of Israel said to his servants, Know you that Remmath Galaad [is] ours, and we are slow to take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻoku ʻotautolu ʻa Lemoti ʻi Kiliati, ka ʻoku tau nofo noa pe, mo taʻetoʻoa mai ia mei he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Silia?”
4 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, Will you go up with us to Remmath Galaad to battle?
Pea naʻa ne pehē kia Sihosafate, “Te ke fie ʻalu mo au ki he tau ki Lemoti-Kiliati?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “ʻOku ou hangē ko koe, mo ʻeku kakai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo kakai, mo ʻeku fanga hoosi ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fanga hoosi.”
5 And Josaphat said, As I [am], so [are] you also; as my people, [so is] your people; as my horses, [so are] your horses. And Josaphat king of Juda said to the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray you, of the Lord today.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “ʻOku ou kole, ke ke fakafehuʻi he ʻaho ni ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.”
6 And the king of Israel gathered all the prophets together, about four hundred men; and the king said to them, Shall I go up to Remmath Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? and they said, Go up, and the Lord will surely give [it] into the hands of the king.
Pea naʻe toki tānaki mai fakataha ʻae kau tangata kikite ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e kau tangata ʻe toko fāngeau nai, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Te u ʻalu atu ke tauʻi ʻa Lemoti-Kiliati pe ʻikai?” Pea naʻa nau pehē, “ʻAlu hake; he koeʻuhi ʻe tuku mai ia ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi.”
7 And Josaphat said to the king of Israel, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may enquire of the Lord by him?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate, “ʻIkai ʻoku ʻi heni ha palōfita foki ʻa Sihova, koeʻuhi ke tau fehuʻi meiate ia?”
8 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, There is one man here [for us] to enquire of the Lord by; but I hate him, for he does not speak good of me, but only evil; Michaias son of Jemblaa. And Josaphat king of Juda said, Let not the king say so.
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia Sihosafate, “ʻOku ai mo e tangata ʻe tokotaha, ko Mikaia ko e foha ʻo Imila, ʻaia te tau faʻa fehuʻi ai kia Sihova: ka ʻoku ou fehiʻa kiate ia; he ʻoku ʻikai faʻa kikite ʻaki ʻe ia ha lelei kiate au, ka ko e kovi.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate, “Ke ʻoua naʻa lea pehē ʻe he tuʻi.”
9 And the king of Israel called a eunuch and said, [Bring hither] quickly Michaias son of Jemblaa.
Pea naʻe toki ui mai ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ha matāpule, ʻo ne pehē, “Omi ke vave ʻa Mikaia ko e foha ʻo Imila.”
10 And the king of Israel and Josaphat king of Juda sat, each on his throne, armed in the gates of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
Pea naʻe nofo ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, mo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, taki taha ki hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi, pea kuo na ʻai hona ngaahi kofu fakatuʻi, ʻi he potu ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matanikolo ʻo Samēlia; pea naʻe kikite ʻi hona ʻao ʻae kau kikite kotoa pē.
11 And Sedekias son of Chanaan made for himself iron horns, and said, Thus says the Lord, With these you shall push Syria, until it be consumed.
Pea naʻe ngaohi maʻana ʻe Setikia ko e foha ʻo Kinana, ʻae ngaahi nifo ukamea: pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Ko eni ia te ke tekeʻi ʻaki ʻae kakai Silia, kaeʻoua ke fakaʻauha kinautolu.’”
12 And all the prophets prophesied in like manner, saying, Go up to Remmath Galaad, and [the thing] shall prosper, and the Lord shall deliver it and the king of Syria into your hands.
Pea naʻe pehē pe ʻae kikite ʻae kau kikite kotoa pē, ʻo [nau ]pehē, “ʻAlu hake ki Lemoti-Kiliati, pea[mou ]monūʻia: koeʻuhi ʻe tuku ia ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi.”
13 And the messenger that went to call Michaias spoke to him, saying, Behold now, all the prophets speak with one mouth good concerning the king, let now your words be like the words of one of them, and speak good things.
Pea naʻe lea kia Mikaia ʻe he talafekau naʻe ʻalu ke ui kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Vakai mai, ʻOku ngutu taha pe ʻae kau kikite ʻi he lea ʻaki ʻae lelei ki he tuʻi: ko ia ʻoku ou kole ke ke tuku hoʻo lea ke tatau mo e lea ʻa ha taha ʻiate kinautolu, pea ke lea ʻaki ʻae lelei.”
14 And Michaias said, [As] the Lord lives, whatever the Lord shall say to me, that will I speak.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mikaia, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea ko ia ʻoku folofolaʻaki kiate au ʻe Sihova, ko ia pe te u leaʻaki.
15 And he came to the king: and the king said to him, Michaias, shall I go up to Remmath Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? and he said, Go up, and the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
Pea naʻe haʻu ia ki he tuʻi. Pea naʻe pehē kiate ia ʻe he tuʻi, “ʻE Mikaia, te ma ʻalu hake ke tauʻi ʻa Lemoti-Kiliati, pe ʻikai?” Pea naʻa ne tali ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu, pea mo monūʻia: koeʻuhi ʻe tuku mai ia ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi.”
16 And the king said to him, How often shall I adjure you, that you speak to me truth in the name of the Lord?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “ʻE tuʻo fiha ʻa ʻeku takitalaʻi koe ke ʻoua naʻa ke fakahā mai ha meʻa ka ko ia pe ʻoku moʻoni ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova?”
17 And he said, Not so. I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains as a flock without a shepherd: and the Lord said, [Is] not God lord of these? let each one return to his home in peace.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Naʻaku mamata ki he fakamovetevete ʻo ʻIsileli kātoa ʻi he ngaahi funga moʻunga, ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi ʻoku ʻikai hanau tauhi: pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻeiki kiate kinautolu ni: tuku ke nau taki taha ʻalu ʻae tangata ki hono fale ʻi he melino.
18 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat king of Juda, Did I not say to you that this man does not prophesy good to me, for [he speaks] nothing but evil?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia Sihosafate, “ʻIkai naʻaku tala kiate koe, ʻe ʻikai te ne kikite ʻaki ha lelei kiate au, ka ko e kovi?”
19 And Michaias said, Not so, [it is] not I: hear the word of the Lord; [it is] not so. I saw the God of Israel sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven stood about him on his right hand and on his left.
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Ko ia foki, fanongo koe ki he folofola ʻa Sihova: naʻaku mamata ki he ʻafio ʻa Sihova ki hono ʻafioʻanga, pea mo e tutuʻu ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu mo hono nima toʻohema ʻae ngaahi tokolahi kotoa pē ʻoe langi.
20 And the Lord said, Who will deceive Achaab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall in Remmath Galaad? and one spoke one way, and another another way.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Ko hai te ne fakalotoʻi ʻa ʻEhapi ke ne ʻalu hake mo hinga ʻi Lemoti-Kiliati?’ Pea naʻe pehē ʻae lea ʻae tokotaha, kae pehē ʻe he tokotaha kehe.
21 And there came forth a spirit and stood before the Lord, and said, I will deceive him.
Pea naʻe hū mai ha laumālie, ʻo ne tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Te u fakalotoʻi ia ʻeau.’
22 And the Lord said to him, Whereby? And he said, I will go forth, and will be a false spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, You shall deceive him, yes, and shall prevail: go forth, and do so.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, ‘ʻO fēfeeʻi?’ Pea naʻa ne pehē, ‘Te u ʻalu atu, pea te u hoko ko e laumālie loi ʻi he ngutu ʻo ʻene kau kikite kotoa pē.’ Pea naʻa ne pehē, ‘Te ke fakalotoʻi ia, pea te ke lavaʻi foki: ʻalu atu, mo ke fai pehē.’”
23 And now, behold, the Lord has put a false spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets, and the Lord has spoken evil against you.
Pea ko ia foki, “Vakai, kuo ʻai ʻe Sihova ha laumālie loi ki he ngutu ʻoe kau tangata kikite na ʻoʻou, pea kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻae kovi kiate koe.”
24 And Sedekias the son of Chanaan came near and struck Michaias on the cheek, and said, What sort of a spirit of the Lord [has] spoken in you?
Ka naʻe ʻalu atu ke ofi ʻa Setikia ko e foha ʻo Kinana, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻa Mikaia ʻi hono kouʻahe, mo ne pehē, “Naʻe ʻalu ʻi he hala fē ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova meiate au ke lea kiate koe?”
25 And Michaias said, Behold, you shall see in that day, when you shall go into an innermost chamber to hide yourself there.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mikaia, “Vakai, te ke toki mamata ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻaia te ke hū atu ai ki he ngaahi loki ke fakafufū koe.”
26 And the king of Israel said, Take Michaias, and convey him away to Semer the keeper of the city;
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “Puke ʻa Mikaia, pea toe ʻave ia kia ʻAmoni ko e pule ʻoe kolo, pea kia Soasi ko e foha ʻoe tuʻi;
27 and tell Joas the king's son to put this [fellow] in prison, and to feed him with bread of affliction and water of affliction until I return in peace.
Pea fakahā ange, ʻOku pehē ʻe he tuʻi, ʻAi ʻae siana ni ki he fale pōpula, pea fafangaʻaki ia ʻae mā ʻoe fakamamahi mo e vai ʻoe fakamamahi ʻo aʻu ki heʻeku [toe ]haʻu ʻi he melino.”
28 And Michaias said, If you return at all in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mikaia, “Kapau te ke toe foki mai ʻi he melino, tā kuo ʻikai folofola ʻa Sihova ʻiate au.” Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Mou fanongo kotoa pē, ʻakimoutolu ko e kakai.”
29 So the king of Israel went up, and Josaphat king of Juda with him to Remmath Galaad.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, mo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ki Lemoti-Kiliati.
30 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat king of Juda, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle, and do you put on my raiment. So the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia Sihosafate, Te u fakapulipuli au, ʻi heʻeku hū atu ki he tau; ka ke ʻai ʻe koe ʻaho ngaahi kofu fakatuʻi. Pea naʻe fakapulipuli ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ka ka ʻalu atu ki he tau.
31 And the king of Syria had charged the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, Fight not [against] small or great, but against the king of Israel only.
Ka naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Silia ki heʻene ʻeiki ʻe toko tolungofulu ma ua naʻe pule ki heʻene ngaahi saliote ʻo pehē, ʻOua naʻa mo tau mo ia ʻoku siʻi pe ko ia ʻoku lahi, ka ko e tuʻi pe ʻo ʻIsileli.
32 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Josaphat king of Juda, that they said, this seems [to be] the king of Israel. And they compassed him about to fight [against] him; and Josaphat cried out.
Pea ʻi he mamata ē ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi saliote kia Sihosafate, naʻa nau pehē, ko eni moʻoni ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli. Pea naʻa nau foki atu ke tau mo ia: pea naʻe kalanga atu ʻa Sihosafate.
33 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw that this was not the king of Israel, that they returned from him.
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻe he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi saliote naʻe ʻikai ko e tuʻi ia ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻa nau foki atu mei heʻenau tuli kiate ia.
34 And one drew a bow with a good aim, and struck the king of Israel between the lungs and the breast-plate: and he said to his charioteer, Turn your hands, and carry me away out of the battle, for I am wounded.
Pea naʻe teke noa pe ʻe ha tangata ʻae kaufana, pea naʻe fanaʻi ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he vahaʻa hokoʻanga ʻo ʻene mahafutau: ko ia naʻa ne pehē ai ki he tangata naʻe fakahinoʻi ʻa ʻene saliote, “Fakatafoki atu ho nima,” pea ke ʻave au mei he tau: he kuo u lavea.
35 And the war was turned in that day, and the king was standing on the chariot, against Syria from morning till evening; and he shed the blood out of his wound, into the bottom of the chariot, and died at even, and the blood ran out of the wound into the bottom of the chariot.
Pea naʻe tupu ʻo lahi ʻae tau ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: pea naʻe poupou hake ʻae tuʻi ʻi hono saliote ke tauʻi ʻae kakai Silia, pea naʻe pekia ia ʻi he efiafi: pea naʻe tafe ʻae toto mei he matalavea ki he loto saliote.
36 And the herald of the army stood at sunset, saying, Let every man go to his own city and his own land,
Pea feʻunga mo e tō hifo ʻae laʻā, naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae fanongonongo ki he kautau, ʻo pehē, “Ke ʻalu ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono kolo, mo e tangata taki taha ki hono fonua ʻoʻona.”
37 for the king is dead. And they came to Samaria, and buried the king in Samaria.
Naʻe pehē ʻae pekia ʻae tuʻi, pea naʻe ʻomi ia ki Samēlia: pea naʻa nau fai ʻae putu ʻoe tuʻi ʻi Samēlia.
38 And they washed the chariot at the fountain of Samaria; and the swine and the dogs licked up the blood, and the harlots washed themselves in the blood, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke.
Pea naʻe fufulu ʻae saliote ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi he vaikeli ʻo Samēlia; pea naʻe ʻemo hake ʻe he fanga kulī ʻa hono toto pea naʻa nau fufulu ʻa ʻene mahafutau ʻo fakatatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki.
39 And the rest of the acts of Achaab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he built, and all the cities which he built, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Pea ko eni, ko e toenga ngāue ʻa ʻEhapi, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, mo e fale lei naʻa ne ngaohi, mo e ngaahi kolo kotoa pē naʻa ne langa, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?
40 And Achaab slept with his fathers, and Ochozias his son reigned in his stead.
Ko ia, naʻe mohe ʻa ʻEhapi mo ʻene ngaahi tamai; pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko ʻAhasia.
41 And Josaphat the son of Asa reigned over Juda: in the fourth year of Achaab king of Israel began Josaphat to reign.
Pea naʻe kamata pule ʻa Sihosafate ko e foha ʻo ʻAsa ki Siuta ʻi hono fā ʻoe taʻu ʻo ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
42 Thirty and five years old [was he] when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name [was] Azuba daughter of Salai.
Naʻe tolungofulu ma nima ʻae taʻu ʻo Sihosafate ʻi heʻene kamata pule; pea naʻa ne pule ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu ma nima. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko ʻAsupa ko e ʻofefine ʻo Sili.
43 And he walked in all the way of Asa his father: he turned not from it, even from doing that which was right in the eyes of the Lord. Only he took not away [any] of the high places: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.
Pea naʻa ne ʻeveʻeva ʻi he hala kotoa pē ʻo ʻene tamai ko ʻAsa; naʻe ʻikai te ne tafoki mei ai, ʻo ne fai ʻaia naʻe lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: ka neongo ia naʻe ʻikai ʻave ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga; naʻe kei fai feilaulau mo tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻe he kakai ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga.
44 And Josaphat was at peace with the king of Israel.
Pea naʻe alea ʻa Sihosafate mo e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ke na melino pe.
45 And the rest of the acts of Josaphat, and his mighty deeds, whatever he did, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
Pea ko eni, ko e toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sihosafate, mo e mālohi naʻe hā ʻiate ia, mo ʻene faʻa tau, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?
Pea ko e toenga kakai angafakasotoma ʻaia naʻe toe ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻene tamai ko ʻAsa, naʻa ne ʻave mei he fonua.
ʻI he kuonga ko ia naʻe ʻikai ha tuʻi ʻi ʻItomi: ka naʻe pule ha tokotaha maʻae tuʻi.
Naʻe maʻu ʻe Sihosafate ʻae ngaahi vaka mei Tasisi ke folau ki Ofeli ke ʻomi koula; ka naʻe ʻikai hoko ʻae folau; he naʻe maumauʻi ʻae ngaahi vaka ʻi Esioni-Kepa.
Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe ʻAhasia ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi kia Sihosafate, Tuku ke ʻalu ʻa ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki fakataha mo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi he folau. Ka naʻe ʻikai loto ki ai ʻa Sihosafate.
50 And Josaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried by his fathers in the city of David his father, and Joram his son reigned in his stead.
Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Sihosafate 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 fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Siholami ko hono foha.
51 And Ochozias son of Achaab reigned over Israel in Samaria: in the seventeenth year of Josaphat king of Juda, Ochozias son of Achaab reigned over Israel in Samaria two years.
Naʻe kamata pule ʻa ʻAhasia ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi ki ʻIsileli ʻi Samēlia ʻi hono hongofulu ma fitu ʻoe taʻu ʻo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe ua ʻi ʻIsileli.
52 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of Achaab his father, and in the way of Jezabel his mother, and in the sins of the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who caused Israel to sin.
Pea naʻa ne fai kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, mo ne ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻo ʻene tamai mo e hala ʻo ʻene faʻē, pea ʻi he hala ʻo Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, ʻaia naʻa ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli:
53 And he served Baalim, and worshipped them, and provoked the Lord God of Israel, according to all that had been done before him.
He naʻa ne tauhi kia Peali, mo ne lotu kiate ia, mo ne fakatupu ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe heʻene tamai.
