2 Kings 13

1 Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, became king of Israel in the twenty-third year of the reign of Joash, son of Ahaziah, king of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for 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 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, and followed the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat, had made Israel commit; he did not end 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 Lord was angry with Israel, and he repeatedly allowed them to be defeated by 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 Jehoahaz asked the Lord for help, and the Lord responded to his request because he saw how badly the king of Aram was treating 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 The Lord gave Israel someone who would save them so they no longer were under Aramean rule. Then the Israelites were able to go back to living in safety as 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 Even so they did not end the sins that the house of Jeroboam had made Israel commit—they continued to follow them. The Asherah idol still stood 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 All that was left of Jehoahaz's army were fifty horsemen, ten chariots, and ten thousand soldiers, for the king of Aram had destroyed the rest, turning them into dust like that when grain is threshed.

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 The rest of what happened in Jehoahaz's reign, all he did, and his great achievements are recorded in the Book of 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 Jehoahaz died and was buried in Samaria. His son Jehoash succeeded him as king.

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 Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, became king of Israel in Samaria in the thirty-seventh year of the reign of King Joash of Judah, and he reigned for 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 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight and did not end all the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit—he continued to follow 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 The rest of what happened in Jehoash's reign, all he did, and his great achievements such as his war against Amaziah, king of Judah, are recorded in the Book of 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 Jehoash died, and Jeroboam sat on his 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 Elisha had become ill with a disease that would eventually kill him. Jehoash, king of Israel, went to visit him, and wept over him, saying, “My father, my father, the chariots and the 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, “Find a bow and some arrows.” So Jehoash found 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, “Pick up the bow.” So the king picked up the bow. Elisha placed 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,” he told him. So the king opened it and Elisha said, “Shoot!” So he fired an arrow. Then Elisha explained, “This is the Lord's victory arrow representing the arrow of victory over the Arameans. You will attack the Arameans in Aphek and finish them off.”

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, “Pick up the arrows!” So he picked them up. Elisha told the king of Israel, “Hit the ground with them!” He hit the ground three times, and then 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 The man of God got angry with him, telling him, “You should have hit the ground five or six times. Then you would have attacked the Arameans until you had completely destroyed them. But now you will only attack the Arameans 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 Elisha died and was buried. Raiders from the country of Moab used to invade Israel 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 On time some Israelites were burying a man when suddenly they saw some raiders coming, so they quickly threw the man into Elisha's tomb. As soon as he touched Elisha's bones, the man came back to life and stood up.

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 Hazael, king of Aram, caused problems for Israel through all Jehoahaz's reign.

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

23 But the Lord graciously helped them and was kind to them. He looked after them because of his agreement with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Even to this day he's been unwilling to destroy them or to throw them out of 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 succeeded him as king.

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, recovered from Ben-hadad son of Hazael, the towns that Hazael had captured from his father Jehoahaz. Jehoash defeated Ben-hadad three times, and so recaptured the Israelite towns.

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.
