2 Chronicles 28

1 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he did not do that which was right in the eyes of YHWH, like David his father;

Naʻe uofulu taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo ʻAhasi ʻi heʻene kamata ʻene pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma tolu ʻi Selūsalema: ka naʻe ʻikai fai ʻe ia ʻaia naʻe lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko Tevita ko ʻene tamai:

2 but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for the Baals.

He naʻe ʻalu ia ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakatātā haka kia Peali.

3 Moreover he burnt incense in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, and made his sons pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom YHWH cast out before the children of Israel.

Pea ne tutu foki ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻi he teleʻa ʻoe foha ʻo Henomi, pea ne tutu ʻene fānau ʻi he afi ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kovi ʻae ngaahi hiteni ʻaia naʻe kapusi kituʻa ʻe Sihova mei he ʻao ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

4 He sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

Naʻa ne feilaulau foki mo tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga, pea ki he ngaahi tafungofunga, pea ʻi he lolo ʻakau mata kotoa pē.

5 Therefore YHWH his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Aram; and they struck him, and carried away of his a great multitude of captives, and brought them to Damascus. He was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who struck him with a great slaughter.

Ko ia naʻe fakatukutukuʻi ia ʻe Sihova ko hono ʻOtua ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Silia: pea naʻa nau taaʻi ia, ʻonau fetuku pōpula honau tokolahi ki Tamasikusi. Pea naʻe tukuange ia ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli foki, ʻaia naʻa ne taaʻi ia ʻaki ʻae tāmateʻi lahi.

6 For Pekah the son of Remaliah killed in Judah one hundred twenty thousand in one day, all of them valiant men; because they had forsaken YHWH, the God of their fathers.

He naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Peka ko e foha ʻo Limalia ʻi Siuta ʻi he ʻaho pe taha ʻae tokotaha kilu mo e toko ua mano, ʻaia ko e kau tangata toʻa kotoa pē; ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau liʻaki ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.

7 Zikri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah who was next to the king.

Pea naʻe tāmateʻi ai ʻe Sikili, ko e tangata mālohi ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻa Māseia ko e foha ʻoe tuʻi, mo ʻAsilikami ko e pule ʻoe fale, mo ʻElikena ʻaia naʻe hoko mo e tuʻi.

8 The children of Israel carried away captive of their brothers two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.

Pea naʻe fetuku fakapōpula ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi honau ngaahi kāinga ʻae toko ua kilu, ko e kau fefine, mo e fānau tangata, mo e fānau fefine, pea ʻave foki mo e koloa lahi ʻaupito ʻiate kinautolu, pea naʻe ʻomi ʻae koloa ki Samēlia.

9 But a prophet of YHWH was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria, and said to them, "Look, because YHWH, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah, he has delivered them into your hand, and you have slain them in a rage which has reached up to heaven.

Ka naʻe ʻi ai ʻae palōfita ʻa Sihova ko Oteti hono hingoa: pea naʻe ʻalu kituʻa ia ki he ʻao ʻoe tau naʻe haʻu ki Samēlia, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Vakai, ko e meʻa ʻi he houhau ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ki Siuta, kuo ne tuku ʻakinautolu ki homou nima, pea kuo mou tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he lili kuo aʻu hake ki langi.

10 Now you purpose to keep under the people of Judah and Jerusalem for bondservants and bondmaids for yourselves. Aren't there even with you trespasses of your own against YHWH your God?

Pea ko eni ʻoku mou loto ke fakamoʻulaloa ʻae fānau ʻa Siuta mo Selūsalema ko e kau tangata pōpula, mo e kau fefine pōpula kiate kimoutolu: ka ʻikai ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻio, ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻae ngaahi angahala kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua?

11 Now hear me therefore, and send back the captives, that you have taken captive from your brothers; for the fierce wrath of YHWH is on you."

Pea ko ia mou tokanga mai kiate au, pea mou tukuange ʻae kau pōpula, ʻaia kuo mou maʻu fakapōpula ʻi homou ngaahi kāinga: he ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae houhau lahi ʻa Sihova.”

12 Then some of the heads of the people of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against those who came from the war,

Pea naʻe toki tuʻu hake ai ʻae niʻihi ʻi he kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIfalemi ko ʻAsalia ko e foha ʻo Sohanani mo Pelakia ko e foha ʻo Misilimoti, mo Sesikia ko e foha ʻo Salumi, mo ʻAmasa ko e foha ʻo Hatilai, ke taʻofi ʻakinautolu kuo haʻu mei he tau.

13 and said to them, "You shall not bring in the captives here: for you purpose that which will bring on us a trespass against YHWH, to add to our sins and to our trespass; for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel."

‌ʻO [nau ]pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua te mou ʻomi ʻae kau pōpula ki heni: he kuo mau fakahouhau kia Sihova, pea ʻoku mou loto ke fakalahi ki heʻemau ngaahi angahala pea ki heʻemau ngaahi kovi: he ʻoku lahi ʻaupito ʻemau fai hala, pea ʻoku houhauʻia lahi ʻaupito ʻa ʻIsileli.”

14 So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the leaders and all the assembly.

Ko ia naʻe tuku ai ʻe he kau tangata toʻo mahafutau ʻae kakai pōpula mo e vete ʻi he ʻao ʻoe houʻeiki mo e kakai kotoa kuo fakataha.

15 The men who have been mentioned by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all who were naked among them, dressed them, gave them sandals, and gave them something to eat and to drink, anointed them, carried all the feeble of them on donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brothers. Then they returned to Samaria.

Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kau tangata ʻaia naʻe lau honau hingoa, ʻo ʻave ʻae kakai pōpula, pea fakakofuʻaki ʻae vete ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe telefua ʻiate kinautolu, pea naʻa nau teuʻi mo fakatopuvaʻe ʻakinautolu, pea tufa kiate kinautolu ʻae meʻakai mo e inu, pea tākai ʻakinautolu pea fakaheka ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe vaivai ki he fanga ʻasi, pea [nau ]ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki honau ngaahi kāinga ki Seliko, ko e kolo ʻae ʻakau ko e ponga: pea naʻa nau toki liu mai ki Samēlia.

16 At that time king Ahaz sent to the king of Assyria to help him.

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ko ʻAhasi ʻi he kuonga ko ia ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ke nau tokoni ia,

17 For again the Edomites had come and struck Judah, and carried away captives.

He naʻe toe haʻu ʻae kakai ʻItomi ʻo teʻia ʻa Siuta, pea fetuku ʻo ʻave ʻae ngaahi pōpula.

18 The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland, and of the Negev of Judah, and had taken Beth Shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Soco with its towns, and Timnah with its towns, Gimzo also and its towns: and they lived there.

Pea ko e kakai Filisitia foki naʻa nau haʻu ʻo tauʻi ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻoe fonua ʻi lalo, mo e potu tonga ʻo Siuta, pea kuo nau lavaʻi ʻa Pete-Semesi, mo ʻAsaloni, mo Kiteloti, mo Soko fakataha mo e ngaahi potu kakai ʻo ia, mo Timinate mo hono ngaahi potu kakai ʻo ia, mo Kimiso foki mo hono ngaahi potu kakai ʻo ia: pea naʻa nau nonofo ai.

19 For YHWH brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he had dealt wantonly in Judah, and trespassed severely against YHWH.

He naʻe fakavaivai hifo ʻe Sihova ʻa Siuta ko e meʻa ia ʻAhasi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli: he naʻa ne fakatelefua ʻa Siuta, pea fai talangataʻa ʻaupito kia Sihova.

20 Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria came to him, and distressed him, but did not strengthen him.

Pea naʻe haʻu kiate ia ʻa Tilikati-Pilinesa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻo ne fakamamahi ia, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne tokoni ia.

21 For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of YHWH, and out of the house of the king and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria: but it did not help him.

He naʻe toʻo ʻo ʻave ʻe ʻAhasi ʻae ʻinasi mei he fale ʻo Sihova, pea mei he fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea ʻoe houʻeiki, pea foaki ia ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia: ka naʻe ʻikai te ne tokoni ia.

22 In the time of his distress, he trespassed yet more against YHWH, this same king Ahaz.

Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻene mamahi naʻa ne fakalahi ki heʻene angahala kia Sihova: ʻae tuʻi ko eni ko ʻAhasi.

23 For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which struck him; and he said, "Because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, so I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me." But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.

He naʻa ne feilaulau ki he ngaahi ʻotua ʻo Tamasikusi, ʻaia naʻe taaʻi ia: ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he tokoni ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe ngaahi tui ʻo Silia, ko ia te u feilaulau ai kiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi ke nau tokoni au. Ka ko hono malaʻiaʻanga ʻakinautolu, ʻoʻona mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē.”

24 Ahaz gathered together the vessels of God's house, and cut in pieces the vessels of God's house, and shut up the doors of the house of YHWH; and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem.

Pea naʻe tānaki fakataha ʻe ʻAhasi ʻae ngaahi nāunau ʻoe fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo ne tuʻutuʻu ke fakaikiiki ʻae ngaahi ipu ʻoe fale ʻoe ʻOtua, pea naʻe tāpuni ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, pea ne fokotuʻu ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ʻi he ngaahi tuliki kotoa pē ʻo Selūsalema.

25 In every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked to anger YHWH, the God of his fathers.

Pea ne ngaohi ʻi he ngaahi kolo kehekehe ʻo Siuta ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ke tutu ai ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, pea naʻa ne fakatupu ʻae houhau lahi ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai.

26 Now the rest of his acts, and all his ways, first and last, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

Pea ko eni ko hono toe ʻo ʻene ngāue mo hono ngaahi hala kotoa pē, ko e ʻuluaki mo e ki mui, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta mo ʻIsileli.

27 Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem; for they did not bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa ʻAhasi mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻa nau tanu ia ʻi he kolo, ʻio, ʻi Selūsalema: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻomi ia ki he ngaahi tanuʻanga ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Hesekaia ko hono foha.
