< Kings IV 24 >

1 In his days went up Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and Joakim became his servant three years; and [then] he turned and revolted from him.
‌ʻI hono ngaahi ʻaho ʻoʻona naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻa Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea naʻe hoko ʻa Sihoiakimi ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolu: pea hili ia naʻa ne toe angatuʻu kiate ia.
2 And the lord sent against him the bands of the Chaldeans, and the bands of Syria, and the bans of Moab, and the bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them into the land of Juda to prevail [against it], according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servants the prophets.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kiate ia ʻae kautau ʻoe kakai Kalitia mo e kautau ʻoe kakai Silia, mo e kautau ʻoe kakai Moape, mo e kautau ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea ne fekauʻi ʻakinautolu ke tauʻi ʻa Siuta, ke fakaʻauha ia, ʻo fakatatau ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻa ne folofola ai ʻi heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita.
3 Moreover it was the purpose of the Lord concerning Juda, to remove them from his presence, because of the sins of Manasses, according to all that he did.
Ko e moʻoni naʻe hoko ʻae meʻa ni ki Siuta ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova, ke hiki ʻakinautolu mei hono ʻao, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi angahala ʻa Manase, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ne fai;
4 Moreover he shed innocent blood, and filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the Lord would not pardon [it].
Pea koeʻuhi foki ko e toto māʻoniʻoni naʻa ne lilingi: he naʻa ne fakapito ʻa Selūsalema ʻi he toto māʻoniʻoni; ʻaia naʻe ʻikai finangalo ʻa Sihova ke fakamolemole.
5 And the rest of the acts of Joakim, and all that he did, behold, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
Pea ko e toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sihoiakimi, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?
6 And Joakim slept with his fathers: and Joachim his son reigned in his stead.
Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Sihoiakimi mo ʻene ngaahi tamai: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko Sihoiakini.
7 And the king of Egypt came no more out of his land: for the king of Babylon took away all that belonged to the king of Egypt from the river of Egypt as far as the river Euphrates.
Pea naʻe ʻikai toe haʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite mei hono fonua: he naʻe maʻu ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, mei he vaitafe ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻo aʻu ki he vaitafe ko ʻIufaletesi.
8 Eighteen years old [was] Joachim when he began to reign, an he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Nestha, daughter of Ellanastham, of Jerusalem.
Naʻe hongofulu ma valu taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo Sihoiakini ʻi heʻene kamata ʻene pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he māhina ʻe tolu. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Nehusita, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Elinatani ʻo Selūsalema.
9 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father did.
Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe heʻene tamai.
10 At that time went up Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
ʻI he kuonga ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone ke tauʻi ʻa Selūsalema, pea naʻe kāpui ʻae kolo ʻaki ʻae tau.
11 And Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants besieged it.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone ke tauʻi ʻae kolo, pea naʻe kāpui ia ʻe heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki,
12 And Joachim king of Juda came forth to the king of Babylon, he and his servants, and his mother, and his princes, and his eunuchs; and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.
Pea naʻe ʻalu kituʻa ʻa Sihoiakini ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ʻaia mo ʻene faʻē, mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, mo ʻene houʻeiki, mo ʻene kau matāpule: pea naʻe puke ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻi hono valu taʻu ʻo ʻene pule.
13 And he brought forth thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house, and he cut up all the golden vessels which Solomon the king of Israel [had] made in the temple of the Lord, according to the word of the Lord.
Pea naʻa ne fetuku mei ai ʻae ngaahi koloa kotoa pē ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, mo e ngaahi koloa mei he fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea naʻa ne tuʻutuʻu ke iiki ʻae ngaahi ipu koula ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Solomone ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he faletapu ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova.
14 And he carried away [the inhabitants of] Jerusalem, and all the captains, and the mighty men, taking captive ten thousand prisoners, and every artificer and smith: and only the poor of the land were left.
Pea naʻa ne fetuku ʻo ʻave ʻae kakai Selūsalema kotoa pē mo e ngaahi houʻeiki kotoa pē, mo e kau tangata toʻa kotoa pē, ʻio, ko e pōpula ʻe tokotaha mano, mo e kau tangata tufunga mo e kau tufunga ukamea: naʻe ʻikai toe ha [kakai], ka ko e kakai masiva ʻaupito ʻoe fonua.
15 And he carried Joachim away to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his eunuchs: and he carried away the mighty men of the land into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻa Sihoiakini ki Papilone, mo e faʻē ʻae tuʻi, mo e ngaahi uaifi ʻoe tuʻi, mo ʻene kau matāpule, mo e kau mālohi ʻoe fonua, naʻa ne fetuku pōpula ʻakinautolu mei Selūsalema ki Papilone.
16 And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and one thousand artificers and smiths: all [were] mighty [men] fit for war; and the king of Babylon carried them captive to Babylon.
Pea ko e kau tangata toʻa kotoa pē, ʻio, ʻae toko fitu afe, mo e kau tufunga kehekehe, mo e kau tuki ukamea, ko e toko taha afe, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe mālohi mo poto ʻi he tau, naʻe fetuku pōpula ʻakinautolu ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki Papilone.
17 And the king of Babylon made Batthanias his son king in his stead, and called his name Sedekias.
Pea naʻe fakanofo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻa Matania ko e tokoua ʻo ʻene tamai ke tuʻi ia ko hono fetongi, pea naʻa ne liliu hono hingoa ko Setikia.
18 Twenty and one years old [was] Sedekias when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Amital daughter of Jeremias.
Naʻe uofulu ma taha ʻae taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo Setikia ʻi heʻene kamata ʻene pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma taha ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Hamutali, ko e ʻofefine ia ʻo Selemaia ʻo Lipina.
19 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Joachim did.
Pea naʻe fai kovi ʻe ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe Sihoiakimi.
20 For it was according to the Lord's anger against Jerusalem and on Juda, until he cast them out of his presence, that Sedekias revolted against the king of Babylon.
He ko e meʻa ʻi he houhau ʻa Sihova naʻe hoko eni ki Selūsalema mo Siuta, pea koeʻuhi ke ne liʻaki ʻakinautolu mei hono ʻao, naʻe fai ʻae angatuʻu ʻa Setikia ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone.
