2 Kings 15

1 Azariah, son of Amaziah, became king of Judah in the twenty-seventh year of the reign of Jeroboam, king of Israel.

‌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 for fifty-two years. His mother's name was Jecoliah of 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 He did what was right in the Lord's sight, 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 But the high places were not removed. The people still were sacrificing and presenting burnt offerings in those places.

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 The Lord touched the king and he had leprosy until the day he died. He lived in isolation in a separate house. His son Jotham was in charge of the palace and was the country's actual ruler.

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 The rest of what happened in Azariah's reign and all he did are recorded in the Book of 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 Azariah died and was buried with his fore fathers in the City of David. His son Jotham succeeded him as king.

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 Zechariah, son of Jeroboam, became king of Israel in the thirty-eighth year of the reign of Azariah, king of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for 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 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, as his forefathers had done. He did not end the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel 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, plotted against Zechariah. He attacked him, murdering him in front of the people, and took over as king.

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 The rest of the events of Zechariah's reign are recorded in the Book of 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 In this way what the Lord told Jehu came true: “Your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”

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 Shallum, son of Jabesh, became king in the thirty-ninth year of the reign of King Uzziah of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for one 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 from Tirzah to Samaria, attacked and murdered Shallum, son of Jabesh, and took over as king.

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 The rest of the events of Shallum's reign and the rebellion he plotted are recorded in the Book of 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 the region nearby, because they would not surrender the town to him. So he destroyed 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 Menahem, son of Gadi, became king of Israel in the thirty-ninth year of the reign of King Azariah of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for 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 Throughout his reign he did what was evil in the Lord's sight. He did not end the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel 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 Pul, king of Assyria, invaded the country. Menahem paid Pul a thousand talents of silver to support Menahem in consolidating his power over 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 demanded payment from all the wealthy men of Israel, fifty shekels of silver each, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria retreated and did not stay in the country.

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 The rest of what happened in Menahem's reign and all he did are recorded in the Book of 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 Menahem died, and his son Pekahiah succeeded him as king.

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

23 Pekahiah, son of Menahem, became king of Israel in Samaria in the fiftieth year of the reign of King Azariah of Judah, and he reigned for 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 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight. He did not end the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel 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 Pekah, son of Remaliah, one of his officers plotted against him together with Argob, Arieh, and fifty men from Gilead. Pekah attacked and killed Pekahiah in the fortress of the king's palace in Samaria, and took over as king.

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 The rest of what happened in Pekahiah's reign and all he did are recorded in the Book of 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 Pekah, son of Remaliah, became king of Israel in the fifty-second year of the reign of King Azariah of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for 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 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight. He did not end the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel 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 During the reign of Pekah, king of Israel, Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, invaded and captured Ijon, Abel-beth-maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, Galilee, and all the land of Naphtali, and he took the people to Assyria as prisoners.

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, plotted against Pekah, son of Remaliah. In the twentieth year of the reign of Jotham, son of Uzziah, Hoshea attacked Pekah, killed him, and took over as king.

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 The rest of what happened in Pekah's reign and all he did are recorded in the Book of 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 Jotham, son of Uzziah, became king of Judah in the second year of the reign of Pekah son of Remaliah, king of Israel.

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 when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for 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 He did what was right in the Lord's sight, 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 But the high places were not removed. The people still were sacrificing and presenting burnt offerings in those places. He rebuilt the upper gate of the Lord's Temple.

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 The rest of the events of Jotham's reign are recorded in the Book of 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 During that time the Lord started sending Rezin, king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, to attack 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 Jotham died and was buried with his forefathers in the City of David, his ancestor. His son Ahaz succeeded him as king.

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.
