2 Kings 21

1 Twelve years old was Menasseh when he became king, and fifty and five years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Chephzi-bah.

Naʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻae taʻu ʻo Manase ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe nimangofulu ma nima ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Hefisipa.

2 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, after the abominable acts of the nations whom the Lord had driven out before the children of Israel.

Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi meʻa kovi ʻae hiteni, ʻaia naʻe kapusi ʻe Sihova mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

3 And he built up again the high-places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Ba'al, and made a grove, as Achab the king of Israel had done; and he bowed down to all the host of heaven, and served them.

He naʻa ne toe langa hake ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha ʻe heʻene tamai ko Hesekaia: pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu hake ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga kia Peali, ʻo ne ngaohi ʻae vaotapu, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻe lotu ia ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe langi, mo ne tauhi ʻakinautolu.

4 And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.

Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe folofola ki ai ʻa Sihova, Te u ʻai hoku huafa ʻi Selūsalema.

5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.

Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻae langi ʻi he lotoʻā ʻe ua ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.

6 And he caused his son to pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much that is evil in the eyes of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.

Pea naʻa ne tuku hono foha ke ʻalu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe afi, pea naʻe tokanga ia ki he ngaahi kuonga, pea naʻa ne fai ʻae tuki [fakatēvolo ]pea naʻe kau ia mo e kau laumālie kovi mo e kau kikite loi: naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi angakovi lahi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke fakatupu hono houhau.

7 And he set a hewn image of the Asherah that he had made in the house, of which the Lord had said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe ia ʻae tamapua ʻi he vao tapu naʻa ne ngaohi ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe folofola ai ʻe Sihova kia Tevita, pea kia Solomone ko hono foha, “Te u ʻai hoku hingoa ʻo taʻengata ki he fale ni, pea ʻi Selūsalema, ʻaia kuo u fili mei he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.

8 And I will not cause any more the foot of Israel to move out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to act in accordance with all that I have commanded them, and in accordance with all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.

Pea ʻe ʻikai te u toe hiki ʻae vaʻe ʻo ʻIsileli mei he fonua ʻaia ne u foaki ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai; ʻo kapau pe te nau tokanga ke fai ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻaku fekau kiate kinautolu, pea fakatatau ki he fono kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Mōsese kiate kinautolu.”

9 But they hearkened not: and Menasseh seduced them to do what is evil more than the nations whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.

Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau tokanga: pea naʻe fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Manase ke nau fai kovi lahi hake ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

10 And the Lord spoke by means of his servants the prophets, saying,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ʻi heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita, ʻo pehē,

11 Forasmuch as Menasseh the king of Judah hath done these abominations, having done wickedly more than all that the Emorites had done, who were before him, and hath induced Judah also to sin with his idols:

“Ko e meʻa ʻi he fai ʻe Manase ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ʻae ngaahi angakovi lahi ni, pea kuo ne fai angakovi lahi hake ʻaupito ʻi he meʻa naʻe fai ʻe he kakai ʻAmoni ʻaia naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻiate ia, pea kuo ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻa Siuta ʻaki ʻa ʻene ngaahi ʻotua loi:

12 Therefore thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, Vakai, ʻOku ou ʻomi ha kovi pehē ki Selūsalema, mo Siuta, ko ia fulipē ʻe fanongo ki ai ʻe vavana hono telinga fakatouʻosi pe.

13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem the measure-line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Achab: and I will wipe off Jerusalem as one wipeth off a dish, wiping it, and turning it on its face.

Pea te u falō atu ʻi ʻolunga ki Selūsalema ʻae afo ʻo Samēlia, mo e afo fakafuofua ʻoe fale ʻo ʻEhapi: pea te u holoholo ʻa Selūsalema ʻo hangē ko e holoholo ʻae ipukai ʻae tangata, ʻo holoholo ia, pea fakafoʻohifo ki lalo.

14 And I will forsake the remnant of my inheritance, and give them up into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;

Pea te u liʻaki hono toe ʻo hoku tofiʻa, pea tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo honau fili: pea te nau hoko ko e meʻa ke vete mo maumau ʻe honau ngaahi fili kotoa pē;

15 Forasmuch as they have done what is evil in my eyes, and have been provoking me to anger, from the day that their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even until this day.

Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fai kovi ʻi hoku ʻao, mo fakatupu ʻeku houhau, talu ʻae ʻaho naʻe haʻu ai ʻenau ngaahi tamai mei ʻIsipite, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.”

16 And also innocent blood did Menasseh shed in very great abundance, till he had filled [therewith] Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he induced Judah to sin, to do what is evil in the eyes of the Lord.

Ka ko eni, naʻe lingi ʻe Manase ʻae toto māʻoniʻoni ʻo lahi ʻaupito, mo ne fakafonu ʻaki ia ʻa Selūsalema mei he potu ʻe taha ki he potu ʻe taha; kaeʻumaʻā foki ʻa ʻene angahala ʻaia naʻa ne fakaangahala ai ʻa Siuta, ʻi he fai ʻaia naʻe kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

17 Now the rest of the acts of Menasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he committed, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Manase, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, mo ʻene angahala ʻaia naʻa ne fai, ʻikai kuo tohi ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?

18 And Menasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of 'Uzza: and Amon his son became king in his stead.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Manase mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi he ngoue ʻo hono fale ʻoʻona, ʻi he ngoue ʻo Usa: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe ʻAmoni ko hono foha.

19 Twenty and two years old was Amon when he became king, and two years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Charuz of Yotbah.

Naʻe uofulu ma ua ʻae taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo ʻAmoni ʻi heʻene kamata ʻene pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe ua ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Mesulemeti, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Halusi ʻoe kakai Sotipa.

20 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Menasseh had done.

Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko ʻene tamai ko Manase.

21 And he walked in all the way that his father had walked in, and served the idols that his father had served, and bowed himself down to them;

Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻi he hala kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu ai ʻene tamai, mo ne tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua loi naʻe tauhi ʻe heʻene tamai, ʻo ne lotu kiate kinautolu:

22 And he forsook the Lord the God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.

Pea naʻa ne liʻaki ʻe ia ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻalu ia ʻi he hala ʻo Sihova.

23 And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.

Pea naʻe teu ʻae lapa ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻAmoni kiate ia, ʻonau tāmateʻi ʻae tuʻi ʻi hono fale ʻoʻona.

24 And the people of the land slew all those that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.

Pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe kau ki he tuʻi ko ʻAmoni: pea naʻe fakanofo ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua ʻa Sosaia ko hono foha ke tuʻi ia ko hono fetongi.

25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue naʻe fai ʻe ʻAmoni, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?

26 And they buried him in his sepulchre in the garden of 'Uzza: and Josiah his son became king in his stead.

Pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi he fonualoto ʻi he ngoue ʻo Usa; pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko Sosaia.
