2 Kings 16

1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah, Ahaz son of Jotham, king of Judah, has reigned.

‌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 Ahaz [is] a son of twenty years in his reigning, and he has reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and he has not done that which [is] right in the eyes of his God YHWH, like his father David,

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 and he walks in the way of the kings of Israel, and he has also caused his son to pass over into fire, according to the abominations of the nations that YHWH dispossessed from the presence of the sons 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 and he sacrifices and makes incense in high places, and on the heights, and under every green 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 son of Remaliah, king of Israel, go up to Jerusalem, to battle, and they lay siege to Ahaz, and they have not been able to fight.

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 that time Rezin king of Aram has brought back Elath to Aram, and casts out the Jews from Elath, and the Arameans have come to Elath, and dwell there to 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 And Ahaz sends messengers to Tiglath-Pileser king of Asshur, saying, “I [am] your servant and your son; come up and save me out of the hand of the king of Aram, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who are rising up 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 takes the silver and the gold that is found in the house of YHWH, and in the treasures of the house of the king, and sends to the king of Asshur [as] a bribe.

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 listens to him, and the king of Asshur goes up to Damascus, and seizes it, and removes [the people of] it to Kir, and he has put Rezin to death.

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 goes to meet Tiglath-Pileser king of Asshur [at] Damascus, and sees the altar that [is] in Damascus, and King Ahaz sends to Urijah the priest the likeness of the altar, and its pattern, according to all its work,

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 Urijah the priest builds the altar according to all that King Ahaz has sent from Damascus; so Urijah the priest did until the coming in of King Ahaz 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 And the king comes in from Damascus, and the king sees the altar, and the king draws near on the altar, and offers on it,

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 burns his burnt-offering and his present as incense, and pours out his drink-offering, and sprinkles the blood of the peace-offerings that he has, on 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 As for the altar of bronze that [is] before YHWH—he brings [it] near from the front of the house, from between the altar and the house of YHWH, and puts it on the side of the altar, northward.

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 commands him—Urijah the priest—saying, “On the great altar burn as incense the burnt-offering of the morning, and the present of the evening, and the burnt-offering of the king, and his present, and the burnt-offering of all the people of the land, and their present, and their drink-offerings; and all the blood of the burnt-offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice, you sprinkle on it, and the altar of bronze is for me to inquire [by].”

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 Urijah the priest does according to all that King Ahaz 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 cuts off the borders of the bases, and turns aside the laver from off them, and he has taken down the sea from off the bronze oxen that [are] under it, and puts it on a pavement 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 covered place for the Sabbath that they built in the house, and the entrance of the king outside, he turned [from] the house of YHWH, 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 And the rest of the matters of Ahaz that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

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 lies with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the City of David, and his son Hezekiah reigns in his stead.

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.
