2 Chronicles 21

1 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, in the city of David, —and Jehoram his son reigned in his steed.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Sihosafate mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe tanu ia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he kolo ʻa Tevita. Pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Siholami ko hono foha.

2 Now, he, had brethren, sons of Jehoshaphat—Azariah and Jehiel and Zechariah and Azariah, and Michael and Shephatiah, —all these, were sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel,

Pea naʻe ʻiate ia hono ngaahi kāinga ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Sihosafate, ko ʻAsalia, mo Sehieli, mo Sakalia, mo ʻAsalia, mo Mikaeli, mo Sifatia: ko kinautolu ni ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.

3 and their father gave them large presents—of silver and of gold and of precious things, with cities of defence, in Judah, —but, the kingdom, gave he unto Jehoram, for, he, was the firstborn.

Pea naʻe foaki kiate kinautolu ʻe heʻenau tamai ʻae ngaahi foaki lahi ʻoe siliva mo e koula, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga lahi, mo e ngaahi kolotau ʻi Siuta: ka naʻa ne foaki ʻae puleʻanga kia Siholami: he ko e ʻuluaki tupu ia.

4 But, when Jehoram had arisen over the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren, with the sword, —moreover also some of the rulers of Israel.

Pea ʻi he hoko ʻa Siholami ki he puleʻanga ʻo ʻene tamai, naʻa ne fakamālohi ia: pea ne tāmateʻi hono ngaahi kāinga ʻaki ʻae heletā, mo e houʻeiki niʻihi ʻo ʻIsileli foki.

5 Thirty-two years old, was Jehoram when he began to reign, —and, eight years, reigned he in Jerusalem.

Naʻe tolungofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe ua ʻae motuʻa ʻo Siholami ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ʻe ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe valu ʻi Selūsalema.

6 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did the house of Ahab, for, the daughter of Ahab, had he, to wife, —so he wrought wickedness, in the eyes of Yahweh.

Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻi he hala ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe he fale ʻo ʻEhapi: he naʻa ne fakamaʻu mali mo e ʻofefine ʻo ʻEhapi: pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻaia naʻe kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

7 Howbeit Yahweh was not willing to destroy the house of David, because of the covenant which he had solemnised, unto David, —and as he had promised to give unto him a lamp, and unto his sons, all the days.

Ka ko e moʻoni naʻe ʻikai fie fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova ʻae fale ʻo Tevita, ko e meʻa ʻi he fuakava naʻa ne fai mo Tevita, pea mo ʻene talaʻofa ke foaki ʻae maama kiate ia pea ki hono ngaahi foha ʻo taʻengata.

8 In his days, revolted the Edomites, from under the hand of Judah, —and set over themselves a king.

naʻe angatuʻu ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho ʻae kakai ʻItomi ki he puleʻanga ʻo Siuta, pea naʻa nau fakanofo honau tuʻi ʻonautolu.

9 So Jehoram passed over, with his captains, and all his chariot, with him, -and it came to pass that he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites that were round about unto him, and the chariot-captains.

Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Siholami mo ʻene ngaahi houʻeiki, mo ʻene ngaahi saliote kotoa pē: pea tuʻu hake ia ʻi he poʻuli, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻae kakai ʻItomi naʻe nofo takatakai ʻiate ia, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki pule ʻoe ngaahi saliote.

10 So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah—unto this day. Then, must Libnah needs revolt at the same time, from under his hand, —because he had forsaken Yahweh, the God of his fathers.

Ko ia naʻe angatuʻu ʻae kakai ʻItomi mei he pule ʻo Siuta ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni. Pea naʻe angatuʻu ʻa Lipina foki ʻi he kuonga ko ia ki heʻene pule: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene liʻaki ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai.

11 He too, made high places among the mountains of Judah, —and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to be unchaste, and seduced Judah.

Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo Siuta, mo ne pule ke fai feʻauaki ʻae kakai ʻo Selūsalema, ʻo ne fakamālohi ʻa Siuta ke fai ia.

12 Then came there unto him, a writing, from Elijah the prophet, saying, —Thus, saith Yahweh, God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa, king of Judah;

Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae tohi kiate ia meia ʻIlaisa ko e palōfita, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo Tevita ko hoʻo tamai, Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te ke ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Sihosafate ko hoʻo tamai, pe ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta,

13 but hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast caused Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to be unchaste, after the unchastities of the house of Ahab, —moreover also, thine own brethren of the house of thy father who were better than thou, hast thou slain,

Ka kuo ke ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, pea kuo ke fakaangahalaʻi ʻa Siuta mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema ke feʻauaki, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi feʻauaki ʻoe fale ʻo ʻEhapi, pea kuo ke tāmateʻi foki ʻa ho ngaahi kāinga ʻi he fale ʻo hoʻo tamai, ʻaia naʻe angalelei lahi hake ʻiate koe:

14 lo! Yahweh, is about to plague, with a great plague, thy people, -and thy children and thy wives, and all thy possessions;

Vakai, te u taaʻi ho kakai, ʻaki ʻae mamahi lahi, mo hoʻo ngaahi fānau, mo ho ngaahi uaifi, pea mo hoʻo ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē:

15 also, thyself, with sore diseases, with disease of thy bowels, -until thy bowels shall fall out, by reason of the disease, in a year added to a year.

Pea ʻe ʻiate koe ʻae mahaki lahi ʻi he mahaki ʻi ho kete, pea ʻe mokulu kituʻa ʻa ho kete ko e meʻa ʻi he mahaki ʻi he ʻaho taki taha kotoa pē.

16 And Yahweh stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and the Arabians, who were under the direction of the Ethiopians;

Pea naʻe langaʻi hake foki ʻe Sihova ʻae loto ʻoe kakai Filisitia, mo e kakai ʻAlepea, ʻakinautolu naʻe vāofi mo e kakai ʻItiopea, ke nau tau kia Siholami:

17 and they came up against Judah, and forced their way into it, and carried off all the possessions that were found belonging to the house of the king, moreover also his sons and his wives, —so that there was left him never a son, save only Jehoahaz the youngest of his sons.

Pea naʻa” nau ʻalu hake ki Siuta, pea naʻa nau ʻoho ki loto fonua ʻonau fetuku ʻo ʻave ʻae ngaahi koloa kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea mo hono ngaahi foha foki, mo hono ngaahi uaifi: ko ia naʻe ʻikai hano foha ʻe taha ʻe tuku kiate ia, ka ko Sihoaasi, ko e kimui ʻi hono ngaahi foha.

18 And, after all this, Yahweh plagued him in his bowels with an incurable disease.

Pea hili ʻae meʻa ni kotoa pē naʻe taaʻi ia ʻe Sihova ʻi hono kete ʻaki ʻae mahaki taʻefaʻafakamoʻui.

19 And it came to pass, in a year beyond a year, even when the end of the days of two years had passed, that his bowels fell out by reason of his disease, so that he died, of, malignant disease, —and his people made him no burning, like the burning of his fathers.

Pea fai ai pe ʻo fuoloa pea hoko ʻo pehē, hili ʻae taʻu ʻe ua, naʻe mokulu hono ngākau kituʻa ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene mahaki: ko ia naʻe pekia ia ʻi he ngaahi mahaki lahi. Pea naʻe ʻikai ha tutu maʻana, ʻo hangē ko e tutu ki heʻene ngaahi tamai.

20 Thirty-two years old, was he when he began to reign, and, eight years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and went his way—unregretted, and, though they buried him in the city of David, yet, not in the sepulchres of the kings.

Ko e taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ia mo e taʻu ʻe ua hono motuʻa, ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe valu, pea naʻe ʻalu ia, pea naʻe ʻikai ha tokanga ki ai. Ka naʻa nau tanu ia ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita, ka naʻe ʻikai ʻi he ngaahi tanuʻanga ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi.
