< 2 Kings 13 >

1 In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Achazyahu the king of Judah became Jehoachaz the son of Jehu king over Israel 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 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, and followed the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin: he departed not therefrom.
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 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel; and he gave them up into the hand of Chazael the king of Syria, and into the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Chazael, all the time.
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 And Jehoachaz besought the Lord; and the Lord hearkened unto him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Syria oppressed them.
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 (And the Lord gave Israel a deliverer, so that they came out from under the power of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as in times past.
(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 Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jerobo'am, who induced Israel to sin, therein the people walked: and the Asherah also remained standing 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 For he had left of people to Jehoachaz none but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand men on foot; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust at threshing.
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 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoachaz, and all that he did, and his mighty deeds, behold, they are written in the book of the 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 And Jehoachaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son became king in his stead.
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 In the thirty and seventh year of Joash the king of Judah became Jehoash the son of Jehoachaz king over Israel in Samaria, [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 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord; he departed not from all the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin: therein he walked.
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 And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his mighty deeds wherewith he fought against Amazyah the king of Judah, behold, they are written in the book of the 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 And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jerobo'am sat upon his throne: and Joash 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 Now Elisha' was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he had to die. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and their horsemen.
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 And Elisha' said unto him, Fetch a bow and arrows. And he fetched unto him a bow and 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 And he said to the king of Israel, Place thy hand upon the bow. And he placed his hand [upon it]: and Elisha' laid his hands upon 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 And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then said Elisha', Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of victory from the Lord, and the arrow of victory over Syria; and thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till they be consumed.
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 And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Strike upon the ground. And he struck three times, and 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 And the man of God was angry with him, and said, Thou shouldst have struck five or six times; then wouldst thou have smitten the Syrians till they had been consumed: whereas now thou shalt smite the Syrians 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 And Elisha' died, and they buried him. And the predatory bands of Moabites frequently invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
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 And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they saw the band; and they cast down the man into the sepulchre of Elisha': and as the man came, and touched the bones of Elisha', he revived, and rose up on his feet.
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 But Chazael the king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoachaz.
Ka naʻe fakamālohiʻi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe Hasaeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo Sihoaasi.
23 And the Lord became gracious unto them, and had mercy on them, and turned his regard unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, and he cast them not off from his presence even until now.
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 And Chazael the king of Syria died: and Ben-hadad his son became king in his stead.
Ko ia naʻe pekia ʻa Hasaeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia; pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Penihatati ko hono foha.
25 And Jehoash the son of Jehoachaz took again the cities out of the power of Ben-hadad the son of Chazael, which he had taken out of the power of Jehoachaz his father in the war. Three times did Joash beat him, and he recovered the cities of Israel.
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.
