< 2 Kings 16 >

1 The seuenteenth yeere of Pekah the sonne of Remaliah, Ahaz the sonne of Iotham King of Iudah began to reigne.
‌ʻI hono hongofulu ma fitu ʻoe taʻu ʻo Peka ko e foha ʻo Limalia naʻe kamata pule ʻa ʻAhasi ko e foha ʻo Sotami ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta.
2 Twentie yeere olde was Ahaz, when hee began to reigne, and he reigned sixteene yeere in Ierusalem, and did not vprightly in the sight of the Lord his God, like Dauid his father:
Naʻe uofulu taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻa ʻAhasi ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ono ʻi Selūsalema, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne faitotonu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, ke hangē ko Tevita ko ʻene tamai.
3 But walked in the way of ye kings of Israel, yea, and made his sonne to go through the fire, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.
Ka naʻa ne ʻeveʻeva ʻi he hala ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻio, naʻa ne puleʻi ke ʻalu atu ʻa hono foha ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe afi, ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi ngāue fakalielia ʻae kakai hiteni, ʻakinautolu naʻe kapusi atu ʻe Sihova mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
4 Also he offred and burnt incense in the hie places and on the hilles, and vnder euery greene tree.
Pea naʻa ne fai feilaulau mo tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga, pea ʻi he ngaahi tafungofunga, pea ʻi he lolo ʻakau mata kotoa pē.
5 Then Rezin king of Aram and Pekah sonne of Remaliah King of Israel came vp to Ierusalem to fight: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not ouercome him.
Pea naʻe toki hoko hake ki Selūsalema ʻa Lisini ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia mo Peka ko e foha ʻo Limalia ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ke na tauʻi ia: pea naʻa na kāpui ʻa ʻAhasi ʻaki ʻae tau, ka naʻe ʻikai te na mafai ʻa hono fakavaivaiʻi.
6 At the same time Rezin king of Aram restored Elath to Aram, and droue the Iewes from Elath: so the Aramites came to Elath, and dwelt there vnto this day.
Pea ʻi he kuonga ko ia naʻe toe maʻu ʻe Lisini ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia, ʻa Elati ke toka ki Silia, pea naʻa ne kapusi ʻae kakai Siu mei Elati: pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae kakai Silia ki Elati, ʻonau nofo ai ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.
7 Then Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath Pileser king of Asshur, saying, I am thy seruant and thy sonne: come vp, and deliuer me out of the hand of the king of Aram, and out of the hand of the King of Israel which rise vp against me.
Ko ia naʻe fekau atu ai ʻae kau talafekau meia ʻAhasi kia Tekilati-Pilesa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻo pehē, “Ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki pea ko ho foha au; ka ke meʻa mai, mo fakamoʻui au mei he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Silia, pea mei he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia kuo tuʻu hake ke tauʻi au.”
8 And Ahaz tooke the siluer and the golde that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the Kings house, and sent a present vnto the King of Asshur.
Pea naʻe toʻo mai ʻe ʻAhasi ʻae siliva mo e koula ʻaia naʻe ʻilo ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, pea ʻi he ngaahi tukunga koloa ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi, mo ne ʻave ia ko e meʻaʻofa ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia.
9 And the King of Asshur consented vnto him: and the King of Asshur went vp against Damascus. and when he had taken it, he caryed the people away to Kir, and slew Rezin.
Pea naʻe tui kiate ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia: he naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ke tauʻi ʻa Tamasikusi, pea naʻa ne lavaʻi ia, mo ne ʻave pōpula ʻae kakai mei ai ki Kili, pea naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻa Lisini.
10 And King Ahaz went vnto Damascus to meete Tiglath Pileser King of Asshur: and when King Ahaz sawe the altar that was at Damascus, he sent to Vriiah the Priest the paterne of the altar, and the facion of it, and all the workemanship thereof.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAhasi ki Tamasikusi ke feʻiloaki mo Tekilati-Pilesa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, pea naʻa ne mamata ki ha feilaulauʻanga ʻaia naʻe ʻi Tamasikusi: pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe he tuʻi ko ʻAhasi kia Ulisa ko e taulaʻeiki ʻa hono fakatātā ʻoe feilaulauʻanga, pea mo hono fuofua ʻo ia, ʻo fakatatau mo hono teunga kotoa pē.
11 And Vriiah the Priest made an altar in al poyntes like to that which King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so did Vriiah the Priest against King Ahaz came from Damascus.
Pea naʻe langa ʻe Ulisa ko e taulaʻeiki ha feilaulauʻanga naʻe tatau ʻaupito mo ia naʻe fakahā mai ʻe ʻAhasi mei Tamasikusi: ko ia naʻe ngaohi ia ʻe Ulisa ko e taulaʻeiki ke ne tali ʻaki ʻae toe liliu mai ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAhasi mei Tamasikusi.
12 So when the King was come from Damascus, the King sawe the altar: and the King drewe neere to the altar and offered thereon.
Pea ʻi heʻene liliu mai ʻae tuʻi mei Tamasikusi, naʻe mamata ʻe he tuʻi ki he feilaulauʻanga: pea naʻe ʻunuʻunu mai ʻae tuʻi ki he feilaulauʻanga pea naʻa ne fai feilaulau ʻi ai.
13 And hee burnt his burnt offering, and his meate offring, and powred his drinke offring, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offrings besides the altar,
Pea naʻa ne tutu ʻa ʻene feilaulau tutu mo ʻene feilaulau meʻakai, mo ne lilingi ʻa ʻene feilaulau inu, pea naʻa ne luluku ʻae toto ʻo ʻene ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, ki he feilaulauʻanga.
14 And set it by the brasen altar which was before the Lord, and brought it in farther before the house betweene the altar and the house of the Lord, and set it on the North side of the altar.
Pea naʻa ne ʻomi foki ʻae feilaulauʻanga palasa, ʻaia naʻe tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, mei he mata fale, mei he vahaʻa ʻoe feilaulauʻanga pea mo e fale ʻo Sihova, pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ia ki he potu fakatokelau ʻoe feilaulauʻanga.
15 And King Ahaz commanded Vriiah the Priest, and sayde, Vpon the great altar set on fire in the morning the burnt offring, and in the euen the meate offring, and the Kings burnt offring and his meate offering, with the burnt offring of all the people of the lande, and their meate offring, and their drinke offrings: and powre thereby all the blood of the burnt offring, and all the blood of the sacrifice, and the brasen altar shalbe for me to inquire of God.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ko ʻAhasi kia Ulisa ko e taulaʻeiki, ʻo pehē, “Te ke tutu ki he feilaulauʻanga lahi ʻae feilaulau tutu ʻoe pongipongi, mo e feilaulau meʻakai ʻoe efiafi, mo e feilaulau tutu ʻae tuʻi, pea mo ʻene feilaulau meʻakai, fakataha mo e feilaulau tutu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, mo ʻenau feilaulau meʻakai, mo ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau inu; pea luluku ki ai ʻae toto kotoa pē ʻoe feilaulau tutu, mo e toto ʻoe meʻa feilaulau kotoa pē: ka ʻe tuku ʻae feilaulauʻanga palasa ke u lotu ai au.”
16 And Vriiah the Priest did according to all that King Ahaz had commanded.
Naʻe fai pehē ʻe Ulisa ko e taulaʻeiki, ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ko ʻAhasi.
17 And King Ahaz brake the borders of the bases, and tooke the caldrons from off them, and tooke downe the sea from the brasen oxen that were vnder it, and put it vpon a pauement of stones.
Pea naʻe tuʻusi ʻe he tuʻi ko ʻAhasi ʻae tapa ʻoe ngaahi tuʻunga, mo ne hiki mei ai ʻae ʻaiʻanga vai; pea naʻa ne hiki ki lalo ʻae fuʻu ʻaiʻanga vai mei he funga ʻoe ngaahi pulu palasa ʻaia naʻe tuʻu ki lalo ʻi ai, pea naʻa ne ʻai ia ki he potu naʻe faliki ʻaki ʻae ngaahi maka.
18 And the vaile for the Sabbath (that they had made in the house) and the Kings entrie without turned he to the house of the Lord, because of the King of Asshur.
Pea ko e fale fakamalumalu maʻae ʻaho tapu ʻaia naʻa nau langa ʻi he fale, pea mo e hala ʻoe tuʻi mei tuʻa, naʻa ne hiki atu mei he fale ʻo Sihova koeʻuhi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia.
19 Concerning the rest of the actes of Ahaz, which he did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
Pea ko eni, ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa ʻAhasi ʻaia naʻa ne fai, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?
20 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buryed with his fathers in the citie of Dauid, and Hezekiah his sonne reigned in his steade.
Pea naʻe mohe ʻa ʻAhasi mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe tanu ia fakataha mo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Hesekaia ko hono foha.
