1 Kings 14

1 It was at that time that Abijah, Jeroboam's son, fell ill.

‌ʻI he kuonga ko ia naʻe hoko ʻae mahaki kia ʻApisa ko e ʻalo ʻo Selopoami.

2 So Jeroboam told his wife, “Please go and disguise yourself so nobody will know you're Jeroboam's wife. Then go to Shiloh and look for Ahijah the prophet. He was the one who told me I would become king over this people.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Selopoami ki hono uaifi, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke tuʻu hake, mo fakapulipuli koe, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ʻilo ko e uaifi koe ʻo Selopoami; pea ke ʻalu ki Sailo; vakai, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa ʻAhisa ko e palōfita, ʻaia naʻa ne fakahā kiate au ke u tuʻi ki he kakai ni.

3 Take with you ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey for him. He will explain to you what will happen to the boy.”

Pea ʻave ʻi ho nima ha foʻi mā ʻe hongofulu, mo e ngaahi foʻi mā manifinifi, mo e hina ʻe taha ʻoe honi, pea ke ʻalu kiate ia: ʻe fakahā ʻe ia kiate koe pe ko e hā ha meʻa ʻe hoko ki he tamasiʻi.”

4 Jeroboam's wife did as she was told. She got up and went to Ahijah's house in Shiloh. Ahijah could not see—he had become blind because of his age.

Pea naʻe fai pehē ʻe he uaifi ʻo Selopoami, mo ne tuʻu hake, ʻo ʻalu ki Sailo, ʻo ne hoko ange ki he fale ʻo ʻAhisa. Pea naʻe ʻikai faʻa mamata ʻe ʻAhisa; he naʻe kui hono mata ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene motuʻa.

5 But the Lord had told Ahijah, “Look, Jeroboam's wife is coming to ask you about her son, because he's ill. This is what you are to tell her, because she'll come in disguise.”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia ʻAhisa, “Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae uaifi ʻo Selopoami ke fehuʻi kiate koe koeʻuhi ko ʻene tama; he ʻoku mahaki ia: pea ʻe pehē mo pehē ʻa hoʻo lea kiate ia: he koeʻuhi, ʻi heʻene hū mai, te ne fai ʻe ia ʻo hangē ko ha fefine kehe ia.”

6 So as soon as Ahijah heard her footsteps at the door, he called out, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam! Why do you bother coming in disguise? I have been given some bad news for you.

Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe ʻAhisa ki he patū ʻo hono vaʻe, ʻi heʻene hū mai ʻi he matapā, naʻa ne pehē, “Hū mai, ʻa koe ko e uaifi ʻo Selopoami; ko e hā ʻoku ke fai ke ke hangē ko ha taha kehe? He kuo fekauʻi au kiate koe mo e ongoongo mamafa.

7 Go and tell Jeroboam this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I picked you from the masses and I made you ruler over my people Israel.

‌ʻAlu, ʻo tala kia Selopoami, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, Koeʻuhi ko ʻeku hakeakiʻi koe mei he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai, pea u tuku ke ke ʻeiki koe ki hoku kakai ʻIsileli,

8 I took the kingdom from the house of David and gave it to you. But you were not like my servant David, who kept my commandments and was totally committed to following me, only doing what was right in my sight.

Pea u haea mai ʻae puleʻanga mei he fale ʻo Tevita, mo foaki ia kiate koe: pea kuo ʻikai te ke tatau mo ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita, ʻaia naʻe fai ki heʻeku ngaahi fekau, pea ne muimui mai kiate au ʻaki ʻa hono loto kotoa, ke fai angatonu pe ʻi hoku ʻao;

9 You have done more evil than all those who lived before you. You have gone and made other gods for yourself, idols made of molten metal that made me angry. You have tossed me aside.

Ka kuo lahi hake ʻa hoʻo fai kovi ʻiate kinautolu fulipē naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻiate koe: he kuo ke ʻalu mo ngaohi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe, mo e ngaahi fakatātā ʻoe ukamea haka, ke fakatupu ʻa ʻeku houhau, pea kuo ke liʻaki au ki ho tuʻa:

10 Now pay attention, because as a result of this I am going to bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam. I will totally exterminate every one of your descendants in Israel, whether slave or free. I will burn the house of Jeroboam like a man burning refuse until it's all gone.

Ko ia, vakai, te u ʻomi ʻae kovi ki he fale ʻo Selopoami, pea te u motuhi meia Selopoami ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē, pea mo ia ʻoku tāpuni mo toe ʻi ʻIsileli, pea te u ʻave ʻae toenga ʻoe fale ʻo Selopoami, ʻo hangē ko e taufetuku ʻe ha tangata ʻae kinohaʻa, kaeʻoua ke ʻosiʻosi ʻaupito ia.

11 Those of Jeroboam's family who die in the town will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the countryside will be eaten by birds. For the Lord has spoken.

Ko ia ʻia Selopoami ʻoku mate ʻi he kolo ʻe keina ia ʻe he fanga kulī; pea ko ia ʻe mate ʻi he ngoue ʻe keina ia ʻe he fanga manupuna; he kuo folofola ki ai ʻa Sihova.’

12 As for you, get up and go home. As soon as you arrive in the city, the child will die.

Ko ia ke ke tuʻu hake koe, mo ʻalu ki ho fale ʻoʻou: pea ʻoka hū atu ho vaʻe ki he kolo, ʻe mate ʻae tamasiʻi.

13 All of Israel will mourn for him, and they will bury him. He alone of Jeroboam's family will be buried in a tomb because only in him has the Lord, the God of Israel found anything good—of the whole family of Jeroboam.

Pea ʻe tēngihia ia ʻe ʻIsileli kotoa, mo tanu ia: he ko ia tokotaha pe ʻia Selopoami ʻe hoko ki he faʻitoka, koeʻuhi kuo ʻilo ʻiate ia ha meʻa ʻoku lelei kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he fale ʻo Selopoami.

14 The Lord will choose for himself a king to rule over Israel who will destroy the house of Jeroboam. This is starting to happen even now!

Pea ʻe fokotuʻu hake foki ʻe Sihova maʻana ha tuʻi ki ʻIsileli, ʻaia te ne fakaʻauha ʻae fale ʻo Selopoami ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: kae fēfē? ʻE hoko ia ʻi hono kuonga.

15 The Lord will strike Israel like a reed jerked to and fro by the water. He will pull up Israel by the roots from this good land that he gave their forefathers and scatter them beyond the Euphrates, because they have made their pagan Asherah poles, making the Lord angry.

Koeʻuhi ʻe taaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e luluʻi ha vaʻakaho ʻi he vai, pea te ne taʻaki fuʻu hake ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fonua lelei ni, ʻaia naʻa ne foaki ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai, pea [te ne ]fakamovetevete kinautolu ki he tuʻa vaitafe, koeʻuhi kuo nau ngaohi ʻae ngaahi vao tapu, ke fakatupu ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova.

16 He will abandon Israel because of the sins of Jeroboam, those that he committed himself, and those he made Israel commit.”

Pea te ne liʻaki ʻa ʻIsileli koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi angahala ʻa Selopoami, ʻaia naʻe fai angahala ʻe ia, pea naʻa ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli.”

17 Jeroboam's wife got up and left for Tirzah. As soon as she stepped through the doorway of her home, the boy died.

Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae uaifi ʻo Selopoami, mo ne ʻalu, ʻo ne haʻu ki Tilisa: pea ʻi heʻene hoko mai ki he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā, naʻe mate ʻae tamasiʻi;

18 All of Israel buried him and mourned for him, just as the Lord had said through his servant Ahijah the prophet.

Pea naʻa nau fai hono putu; pea naʻe tēngihia ia ʻe ʻIsileli kātoa, ʻo fakatatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki ʻi heʻene tamaioʻeiki ko ʻAhisa ko e palōfita.

19 The rest of what Jeroboam did, how he engaged in warfare and how he reigned, they are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi meʻa naʻe fai ʻe Selopoami, ʻa ʻene ngaahi tau, mo e anga ʻo ʻene pule, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.

20 Jeroboam reigned for twenty-two years, and then he died. His son Nadab succeeded him as king.

Pea ko e kuonga naʻe pule ai ʻa Selopoami ko e taʻu ia ʻe uofulu ma ua: pea naʻa ne tokoto hifo fakataha ia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Natapi ko hono foha.

21 Rehoboam, son of Solomon, reigned in Judah. He was forty-one when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord had chosen from all the tribes of Israel where he would be honored. The name of his mother was Naamah the Ammonite.

Pea naʻe pule ʻi Siuta ʻa Lehopoami ko e foha ʻo Solomone. Naʻe fāngofulu ma taha ʻae taʻu ʻo Lehopoami ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma fitu, ʻae kolo ko ia naʻe fili ʻe Sihova mei he faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ke tuku ʻi ai ʻa hono huafa. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Neama ko e fefine ʻAmoni.

22 Judah did what was evil in the Lord's sight, and because of the sins they committed they made his jealous anger even greater than all their fathers had done.

Pea naʻe fai kovi ʻa Siuta ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻa nau fakatupu ʻae fuaʻa ʻiate ia ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau ngaahi angahala ʻaia naʻa nau fai, ʻo lahi hake ʻaupito ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe heʻenau ngaahi tamai.

23 They also set up for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.

He naʻa nau langa foki ʻekinautolu ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga mo e ngaahi tamapua, mo e ngaahi vao tapu, ʻi he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga kotoa pē, pea ʻi he lolo ʻakau mata kotoa pē.

24 There were even cult prostitutes in the land. They followed all the disgusting practices of the nations that the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.

Pea naʻe ai ʻae kakai foki ʻi he fonua naʻe angafakasotoma: pea naʻa nau fai ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi meʻa fakalielia kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga ʻaia naʻe kapusi atu mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

25 In the fifth year of King Rehoboam's reign, Shishak, king of Egypt, attacked Jerusalem.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi hono nima ʻoe taʻu ʻoe tuʻi ko Lehopoami, naʻe haʻu ʻa Sisaki ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite ke ne tauʻi ʻa Selūsalema.

26 He took the treasures of the Lord's Temple and the royal palace. He took everything, including all the gold shields Solomon had made.

Pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻae ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, mo e koloa ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi: ʻio, naʻa ne ʻave kotoa pē: pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻae ngaahi pā koula ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Solomone.

27 So King Rehoboam made bronze shields to replace them and handed them over to the captains of the guard to look after. They stood on duty at the entrance to the royal palace.

Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe he tuʻi ko Lehopoami ʻae ngaahi pā palasa ko hono fetongi, ʻo ne tuku ia ki he nima ʻoe ʻeiki naʻe pule ki he kau leʻo, ʻaia naʻe leʻohi ʻae matapā ʻoe fale ʻoe tuʻi.

28 Whenever the king went to the Lord's Temple, the guards would carry the shields. Afterwards they returned them to the guardroom.

Pea naʻe fai ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene hū atu ʻae tuʻi ki he fale ʻo Sihova, naʻe fua atu ia ʻe he kau leʻo, pea nau toe ʻomi ia ki he potu fale ʻoe kau leʻo.

29 The rest of what happened in Rehoboam's reign and everything that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.

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

30 Rehoboam and Jeroboam were always at war with each other.

Pea naʻe fai ʻae tau ʻe Lehopoami mo Selopoami ʻi hona ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē.

31 Rehoboam died and was buried with his ancestors in the City of David. The name of his mother was Naamah the Ammonite. His son Abijam succeeded him as king.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Lehopoami mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe tanu ia fakataha mo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Neama ko e fefine ʻAmoni. Pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻi he pule ʻa ʻApisami ko hono foha.
