1 Kings 22
1 And there continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
Pea naʻa nau nofo pe ʻo tolu taʻu mo e taʻefai ha tau ʻe Silia mo ʻIsileli.
2 But it came to pass, in the third year, that Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down unto the king of Israel.
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki hono tolu ʻoe taʻu, naʻe hoko hifo ʻa Sihosafate ko e tuʻi Siuta ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
3 And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that, ours, is Ramoth-gilead, —yet, we, are too idle to take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻoku ʻotautolu ʻa Lemoti ʻi Kiliati, ka ʻoku tau nofo noa pe, mo taʻetoʻoa mai ia mei he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Silia?”
4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to make war upon Ramoth-gilead?
Pea naʻa ne pehē kia Sihosafate, “Te ke fie ʻalu mo au ki he tau ki Lemoti-Kiliati?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “ʻOku ou hangē ko koe, mo ʻeku kakai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo kakai, mo ʻeku fanga hoosi ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fanga hoosi.”
5 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people are us thy people, my horses as thy horses.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “ʻOku ou kole, ke ke fakafehuʻi he ʻaho ni ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.”
6 Then said Jehoshaphat unto the king of Israel, —Seek, I pray thee, at once, the word of Yahweh. So the king of Israel gathered together the prophets, about four hundred men, and said unto them—Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead, to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said—Go up, that the Lord may deliver it into the hand of the king.
Pea naʻe toki tānaki mai fakataha ʻae kau tangata kikite ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e kau tangata ʻe toko fāngeau nai, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Te u ʻalu atu ke tauʻi ʻa Lemoti-Kiliati pe ʻikai?” Pea naʻa nau pehē, “ʻAlu hake; he koeʻuhi ʻe tuku mai ia ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi.”
7 Then said Jehoshaphat, Is there not here a prophet of Yahweh, besides, —that we may seek, from him?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate, “ʻIkai ʻoku ʻi heni ha palōfita foki ʻa Sihova, koeʻuhi ke tau fehuʻi meiate ia?”
8 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Besides, is a certain man, by whom we might seek Yahweh, but, I, hate him, for he is never moved to prophesy concerning me anything good, only evil, Micaiah, son of Imlah. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia Sihosafate, “ʻOku ai mo e tangata ʻe tokotaha, ko Mikaia ko e foha ʻo Imila, ʻaia te tau faʻa fehuʻi ai kia Sihova: ka ʻoku ou fehiʻa kiate ia; he ʻoku ʻikai faʻa kikite ʻaki ʻe ia ha lelei kiate au, ka ko e kovi.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate, “Ke ʻoua naʻa lea pehē ʻe he tuʻi.”
9 Then the king of Israel called a certain courtier, —and said, Hasten Micaiah son of Imlah.
Pea naʻe toki ui mai ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ha matāpule, ʻo ne pehē, “Omi ke vave ʻa Mikaia ko e foha ʻo Imila.”
10 Now, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, were sitting—each man upon his throne, having put on robes, in a level place, at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, —and, all the prophets, were being moved to prophesy before them;
Pea naʻe nofo ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, mo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, taki taha ki hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi, pea kuo na ʻai hona ngaahi kofu fakatuʻi, ʻi he potu ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matanikolo ʻo Samēlia; pea naʻe kikite ʻi hona ʻao ʻae kau kikite kotoa pē.
11 when Zedekiah son of Chenaanah made himself horns of iron, —and said—Thus, saith Yahweh, —With these, shalt thou push down the Syrians, until thou hast consumed them.
Pea naʻe ngaohi maʻana ʻe Setikia ko e foha ʻo Kinana, ʻae ngaahi nifo ukamea: pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Ko eni ia te ke tekeʻi ʻaki ʻae kakai Silia, kaeʻoua ke fakaʻauha kinautolu.’”
12 And, all the prophets, were being moved to prophesy, in like manner, saying, —Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and thou shalt prosper, and Yahweh will deliver it, into the hand of the king.
Pea naʻe pehē pe ʻae kikite ʻae kau kikite kotoa pē, ʻo [nau ]pehē, “ʻAlu hake ki Lemoti-Kiliati, pea[mou ]monūʻia: koeʻuhi ʻe tuku ia ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi.”
13 Now, the messenger who went to call Micaiah, spake unto him, saying, Behold, I pray thee, the words of the prophets, with one mouth, are good, as touching the king, let thy word, I pray thee, be as the word of one of them, so wilt thou speak that which is good.
Pea naʻe lea kia Mikaia ʻe he talafekau naʻe ʻalu ke ui kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Vakai mai, ʻOku ngutu taha pe ʻae kau kikite ʻi he lea ʻaki ʻae lelei ki he tuʻi: ko ia ʻoku ou kole ke ke tuku hoʻo lea ke tatau mo e lea ʻa ha taha ʻiate kinautolu, pea ke lea ʻaki ʻae lelei.”
14 And Micaiah said, —By the life of Yahweh, what Yahweh saith unto me, that, will I, speak.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mikaia, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea ko ia ʻoku folofolaʻaki kiate au ʻe Sihova, ko ia pe te u leaʻaki.
15 So he came unto the king, and the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he said unto him—Go up and prosper, and Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king.
Pea naʻe haʻu ia ki he tuʻi. Pea naʻe pehē kiate ia ʻe he tuʻi, “ʻE Mikaia, te ma ʻalu hake ke tauʻi ʻa Lemoti-Kiliati, pe ʻikai?” Pea naʻa ne tali ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu, pea mo monūʻia: koeʻuhi ʻe tuku mai ia ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi.”
16 And the king said unto him, How many times must, I, adjure thee, —that thou speak unto me nothing but truth, in the name of Yahweh?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “ʻE tuʻo fiha ʻa ʻeku takitalaʻi koe ke ʻoua naʻa ke fakahā mai ha meʻa ka ko ia pe ʻoku moʻoni ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova?”
17 And he said—I saw all Israel, scattered among the mountains, like sheep that have no shepherd, —so Yahweh said, These have, no masters, let them return every man unto his own house, in peace.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Naʻaku mamata ki he fakamovetevete ʻo ʻIsileli kātoa ʻi he ngaahi funga moʻunga, ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi ʻoku ʻikai hanau tauhi: pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻeiki kiate kinautolu ni: tuku ke nau taki taha ʻalu ʻae tangata ki hono fale ʻi he melino.
18 Then said the king of Israel, unto Jehoshaphat, —Did I not say unto thee, He will not be moved to prophesy concerning me anything good, only calamity.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia Sihosafate, “ʻIkai naʻaku tala kiate koe, ʻe ʻikai te ne kikite ʻaki ha lelei kiate au, ka ko e kovi?”
19 Then he said, Therefore, hear thou the word of Yahweh, —I saw Yahweh, sitting upon his throne, and all the host of the heavens, standing by him, on his right hand, and on his left.
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Ko ia foki, fanongo koe ki he folofola ʻa Sihova: naʻaku mamata ki he ʻafio ʻa Sihova ki hono ʻafioʻanga, pea mo e tutuʻu ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu mo hono nima toʻohema ʻae ngaahi tokolahi kotoa pē ʻoe langi.
20 And Yahweh said, Who will persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall, at Ramoth-gilead? And, one, said in this manner, and, another, said in that manner.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Ko hai te ne fakalotoʻi ʻa ʻEhapi ke ne ʻalu hake mo hinga ʻi Lemoti-Kiliati?’ Pea naʻe pehē ʻae lea ʻae tokotaha, kae pehē ʻe he tokotaha kehe.
21 Then came forth a spirit, and stood before Yahweh, and said—I, will persuade him.
Pea naʻe hū mai ha laumālie, ʻo ne tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Te u fakalotoʻi ia ʻeau.’
22 And Yahweh said unto him—Wherewith? And he said—I will go forth, and become a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all his prophets, —So he said, —Thou mayest persuade, yea and prevail, go forth, and do so.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, ‘ʻO fēfeeʻi?’ Pea naʻa ne pehē, ‘Te u ʻalu atu, pea te u hoko ko e laumālie loi ʻi he ngutu ʻo ʻene kau kikite kotoa pē.’ Pea naʻa ne pehē, ‘Te ke fakalotoʻi ia, pea te ke lavaʻi foki: ʻalu atu, mo ke fai pehē.’”
23 Now, therefore, lo! Yahweh hath suffered a spirit of falsehood to be put into the mouth of all these thy prophets. But, Yahweh himself, hath spoken concerning thee, calamity.
Pea ko ia foki, “Vakai, kuo ʻai ʻe Sihova ha laumālie loi ki he ngutu ʻoe kau tangata kikite na ʻoʻou, pea kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻae kovi kiate koe.”
24 Then drew near Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, —and said—Where then passed the Spirit of Yahweh, from me, to speak unto thee?
Ka naʻe ʻalu atu ke ofi ʻa Setikia ko e foha ʻo Kinana, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻa Mikaia ʻi hono kouʻahe, mo ne pehē, “Naʻe ʻalu ʻi he hala fē ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova meiate au ke lea kiate koe?”
25 Then said Micaiah, Lo! thou art about to see, on that day, —when thou enterest a chamber within a chamber, to hide thyself.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mikaia, “Vakai, te ke toki mamata ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻaia te ke hū atu ai ki he ngaahi loki ke fakafufū koe.”
26 And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon captain of the city, —and unto Joash son of the king;
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “Puke ʻa Mikaia, pea toe ʻave ia kia ʻAmoni ko e pule ʻoe kolo, pea kia Soasi ko e foha ʻoe tuʻi;
27 and thou shalt say—Thus, saith the king, Put this man into the prison, —and let him eat the bread of oppression, with the water of oppression, until I enter in peace.
Pea fakahā ange, ʻOku pehē ʻe he tuʻi, ʻAi ʻae siana ni ki he fale pōpula, pea fafangaʻaki ia ʻae mā ʻoe fakamamahi mo e vai ʻoe fakamamahi ʻo aʻu ki heʻeku [toe ]haʻu ʻi he melino.”
28 Then said Micaiah, If thou, return, in peace, Yahweh hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, ye peoples, all of you!
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mikaia, “Kapau te ke toe foki mai ʻi he melino, tā kuo ʻikai folofola ʻa Sihova ʻiate au.” Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Mou fanongo kotoa pē, ʻakimoutolu ko e kakai.”
29 So the king of Israel went up, with Jehoshaphat king of Judah, unto Ramoth-gilead.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, mo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ki Lemoti-Kiliati.
30 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat—I am about to disguise myself, and enter into the battle, thou, therefore, put on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself, and entered into the battle.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia Sihosafate, Te u fakapulipuli au, ʻi heʻeku hū atu ki he tau; ka ke ʻai ʻe koe ʻaho ngaahi kofu fakatuʻi. Pea naʻe fakapulipuli ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ka ka ʻalu atu ki he tau.
31 Now, the king of Syria, had commanded the captains of chariots which he had, thirty and two, saying, Ye shall not fight with small or great, —save with the king of Israel alone.
Ka naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Silia ki heʻene ʻeiki ʻe toko tolungofulu ma ua naʻe pule ki heʻene ngaahi saliote ʻo pehē, ʻOua naʻa mo tau mo ia ʻoku siʻi pe ko ia ʻoku lahi, ka ko e tuʻi pe ʻo ʻIsileli.
32 And it came to pass, when the chariot-captains saw Jehoshaphat, that, they, said: Surely it is, the king of Israel! But, when they turned aside against him to fight, Jehoshaphat cried out.
Pea ʻi he mamata ē ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi saliote kia Sihosafate, naʻa nau pehē, ko eni moʻoni ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli. Pea naʻa nau foki atu ke tau mo ia: pea naʻe kalanga atu ʻa Sihosafate.
33 And it came to pass, when the chariot-captains saw that it was, not the king of Israel, that they turned back, from pursuing him.
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻe he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi saliote naʻe ʻikai ko e tuʻi ia ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻa nau foki atu mei heʻenau tuli kiate ia.
34 But, a certain man, drawing a bow in his innocence, smote the king of Israel, between the shoulder-joints and the coat of mail, —wherefore he said to his charioteer—Turn thy hand, and convey me out of the host, for I am sore wounded.
Pea naʻe teke noa pe ʻe ha tangata ʻae kaufana, pea naʻe fanaʻi ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he vahaʻa hokoʻanga ʻo ʻene mahafutau: ko ia naʻa ne pehē ai ki he tangata naʻe fakahinoʻi ʻa ʻene saliote, “Fakatafoki atu ho nima,” pea ke ʻave au mei he tau: he kuo u lavea.
35 But the battle increased that day, and, the king, was propped up in the chariot, before the Syrians, —and died in the evening, and so the blood of the wound ran out into the hollow of the chariot.
Pea naʻe tupu ʻo lahi ʻae tau ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: pea naʻe poupou hake ʻae tuʻi ʻi hono saliote ke tauʻi ʻae kakai Silia, pea naʻe pekia ia ʻi he efiafi: pea naʻe tafe ʻae toto mei he matalavea ki he loto saliote.
36 And a loud cry went through the host, at the going in of the sun, saying—Every man to his own city! and every man to his own land!
Pea feʻunga mo e tō hifo ʻae laʻā, naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae fanongonongo ki he kautau, ʻo pehē, “Ke ʻalu ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono kolo, mo e tangata taki taha ki hono fonua ʻoʻona.”
37 So the king died, and was brought into Samaria, —and they buried the king, in Samaria.
Naʻe pehē ʻae pekia ʻae tuʻi, pea naʻe ʻomi ia ki Samēlia: pea naʻa nau fai ʻae putu ʻoe tuʻi ʻi Samēlia.
38 And, when the chariot was washed out at the pool of Samaria, the dogs lapped up his blood, also, the harlots, bathed [there], —according to the word of Yahweh which he had spoken.
Pea naʻe fufulu ʻae saliote ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi he vaikeli ʻo Samēlia; pea naʻe ʻemo hake ʻe he fanga kulī ʻa hono toto pea naʻa nau fufulu ʻa ʻene mahafutau ʻo fakatatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki.
39 Now, the rest of the story of Ahab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he built, and all the cities that he built, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Pea ko eni, ko e toenga ngāue ʻa ʻEhapi, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, mo e fale lei naʻa ne ngaohi, mo e ngaahi kolo kotoa pē naʻa ne langa, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?
40 So Ahab slept with his fathers, —and, Ahaziah his son, reigned, in his stead.
Ko ia, naʻe mohe ʻa ʻEhapi mo ʻene ngaahi tamai; pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko ʻAhasia.
41 Now, Jehoshaphat son of Asa, began to reign over Judah, —in the fourth year of Ahab, king of Israel.
Pea naʻe kamata pule ʻa Sihosafate ko e foha ʻo ʻAsa ki Siuta ʻi hono fā ʻoe taʻu ʻo ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
42 Jehoshaphat, was thirty-five years old when he began to reign, and, twenty-five years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi.
Naʻe tolungofulu ma nima ʻae taʻu ʻo Sihosafate ʻi heʻene kamata pule; pea naʻa ne pule ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu ma nima. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko ʻAsupa ko e ʻofefine ʻo Sili.
43 And he walked in all the way of Asa his father, he turned not aside therefrom, —doing that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh: nevertheless, the high places, were not taken away, —still were the people offering sacrifices and burning incense in the high places.
Pea naʻa ne ʻeveʻeva ʻi he hala kotoa pē ʻo ʻene tamai ko ʻAsa; naʻe ʻikai te ne tafoki mei ai, ʻo ne fai ʻaia naʻe lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: ka neongo ia naʻe ʻikai ʻave ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga; naʻe kei fai feilaulau mo tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻe he kakai ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga.
44 And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
Pea naʻe alea ʻa Sihosafate mo e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ke na melino pe.
45 Now, the rest of the story of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he shewed, and how he warred, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Pea ko eni, ko e toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sihosafate, mo e mālohi naʻe hā ʻiate ia, mo ʻene faʻa tau, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?
46 Moreover, the rest of the male devotees who remained in the days of Asa his father, he consumed out of the land.
Pea ko e toenga kakai angafakasotoma ʻaia naʻe toe ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻene tamai ko ʻAsa, naʻa ne ʻave mei he fonua.
47 And, king, was there none in Edom, a prefect, was king.
ʻI he kuonga ko ia naʻe ʻikai ha tuʻi ʻi ʻItomi: ka naʻe pule ha tokotaha maʻae tuʻi.
48 Jehoshaphat, made ships of Tarshish, to go to Ophir, for gold; but they went not, —for ships had been broken to pieces in Ezion-geber.
Naʻe maʻu ʻe Sihosafate ʻae ngaahi vaka mei Tasisi ke folau ki Ofeli ke ʻomi koula; ka naʻe ʻikai hoko ʻae folau; he naʻe maumauʻi ʻae ngaahi vaka ʻi Esioni-Kepa.
49 Then, said Ahaziah son of Ahab, unto Jehoshaphat, Let, my servants, go with, thy servants, in the ships, —but Jehoshaphat did not consent.
Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe ʻAhasia ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi kia Sihosafate, Tuku ke ʻalu ʻa ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki fakataha mo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi he folau. Ka naʻe ʻikai loto ki ai ʻa Sihosafate.
50 So Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, in the city of David his father, —and, Jehoram his son, reigned, in his stead.
Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Sihosafate mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe fai hono putu ki he [potu ]ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita ko ʻene tamai: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Siholami ko hono foha.
51 Ahaziah son of Ahab, began to reign over Israel, in Samaria, in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, —and reigned over Israel, two years.
Naʻe kamata pule ʻa ʻAhasia ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi ki ʻIsileli ʻi Samēlia ʻi hono hongofulu ma fitu ʻoe taʻu ʻo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe ua ʻi ʻIsileli.
52 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —and went in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused, Israel, to sin.
Pea naʻa ne fai kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, mo ne ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻo ʻene tamai mo e hala ʻo ʻene faʻē, pea ʻi he hala ʻo Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, ʻaia naʻa ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli:
53 Yea he served Baal, and bowed down to him, —and provoked to anger Yahweh, God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
He naʻa ne tauhi kia Peali, mo ne lotu kiate ia, mo ne fakatupu ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe heʻene tamai.
