< 2 Kings 17 >
1 In year two [plus] ten of Ahaz [the] king of Judah he became king Hoshea [the] son of Elah in Samaria over Israel nine years.
ʻI hono hongofulu ma ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo ʻAhasi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta naʻe kamata pule ki ʻIsileli ʻi Samēlia ʻa Hosea ko e foha ʻo Ela, ʻi he taʻu ʻe hiva.
2 And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh only not like [the] kings of Israel who they were before him.
Pea naʻa ne fai kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ka naʻe ʻikai ke hangē ia ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaia naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻiate ia.
3 On him he came up Shalmaneser [the] king of Assyria and he became of him Hoshea subject and he returned to him tribute.
Naʻe haʻu kiate ia ʻa Salimanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ko hono tauʻi; pea naʻe fakatokalalo kiate ia ʻa Hosea, pea naʻa ne foaki ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa kiate ia.
4 And he found [the] king of Assyria in Hoshea treason that he had sent messengers to So [the] king of Egypt and not he had brought up tribute to [the] king of Assyria as a year in a year and he arrested him [the] king of Assyria and he confined him [the] house of imprisonment.
Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ʻae teu lapa ʻe Hosea: he kuo fekau atu ʻe ia ʻae kau talafekau kia So ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻomi ʻae meʻaʻofa ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa ne faʻa fai ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē; ko ia naʻe fakahū ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ki he fale pōpula, mo ne haʻi ia ʻi he fale pōpula.
5 And he came up [the] king of Assyria in all the land and he came up Samaria and he laid siege on it three years.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ki he potu kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, mo ne ʻalu hake ki Samēlia, mo ne kāpui ia ʻaki ʻae tau ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolu.
6 In [the] year ninth of Hoshea he captured [the] king of Assyria Samaria and he took into exile Israel Assyria towards and he caused to dwell them in Halah and on [the] Habor [the] river of Gozan and [the] cities of Media.
Pea ʻi hono hiva ʻoe taʻu ʻo Hosea naʻe lavaʻi ʻa Samēlia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻae kakai ʻIsileli ki ʻAsilia, mo ne tuku ʻakinautolu ʻi Hala pea ʻi Hapoa ki he vaitafe ʻo Kosani, pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻae kakai Mitia.
7 And it was that they had sinned [the] people of Israel to Yahweh God their who had brought up them from [the] land of Egypt from under [the] hand of Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and they had feared gods other.
He naʻe pehē, kuo fai angahala ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he lalo nima ʻo Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, pea kuo nau manavahē ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe.
8 And they had walked in [the] customs of the nations which he had dispossessed Yahweh from before [the] people of Israel and [the] kings of Israel which they had done.
Pea kuo nau ʻaʻeva ʻi he ngaahi fekau ʻae kakai hiteni, ʻakinautolu naʻe kapusi atu ʻe Sihova mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli naʻa nau fakanofo.
9 And they did secretly [the] people of Israel things which [were] not right on Yahweh God their and they built for themselves high places in all cities their from a tower of watchmen unto a city of fortification.
Pea naʻe fai fakafufū ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe ʻikai totonu kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, pea naʻa nau langa moʻonautolu ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻi honau ngaahi kolo kotoa pē, mei he foʻi fale māʻolunga ʻoe kau leʻo ʻo fai hake ki he kolo naʻe fakaʻā.
10 And they erected for themselves sacred pillars and Asherah poles on every hill high and under every tree luxuriant.
Pea naʻa nau fokotuʻu maʻanautolu ʻae ngaahi tamapua, mo e ngaahi vao tapu ʻi he tafungofunga māʻolunga kotoa pē, pea ʻi he lolo ʻakau mata kotoa pē:
11 And they made smoke there at all [the] high places like the nations which he had taken into exile Yahweh from before them and they did things evil to provoke to anger Yahweh.
Pea naʻa nau tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻi he potu māʻolunga kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko e hiteni ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha atu mei honau ʻao ʻe Sihova; pea naʻa nau fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kovi ke fakatupu ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova:
12 And they served the idols which he had said Yahweh to them not you must do the thing this.
He naʻa nau tauhi ki he ngaahi tamapua, ʻaia naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu, ʻE ʻikai te mou fai ʻae meʻa ni.
13 And he warned Yahweh Israel and Judah by [the] hand of every ([the] prophets *Q(K)*) every seer saying turn back from ways your evil and keep commandments my statutes my according to all the law which I commanded ancestors your and which I sent to you by [the] hand of servants my the prophets.
Ka naʻe valokiekina ʻe Sihova ki ʻIsileli pea ki Siuta ʻi heʻene kau palōfita kotoa pē mo e kau kikite kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “Ke tafoki ʻakimoutolu mei homou ngaahi hala kovi, pea tauhi ki heʻeku ngaahi fekau mo ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻo fakatatau mo e fono kotoa pē ko ia ʻaia naʻaku fekau ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, peau fekauʻi kiate kimoutolu ʻi heʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita.”
14 And not they listened and they stiffened neck their like [the] neck of ancestors their who not they trusted in Yahweh God their.
Ka neongo ia naʻe ʻikai te nau fie ongoʻi, ka naʻa nau fakakekeva ʻa honau kia, ʻo hangē ko e kia ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai tui kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua.
15 And they rejected statutes his and covenant his which he had made with ancestors their and testimonies his which he warned them and they walked after vanity and they became vain and after the nations which [were] around them which he had commanded Yahweh them to not to do like them.
Pea naʻa nau siʻaki ʻa ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, pea mo ʻene fuakava ʻaia naʻa ne fai mo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, mo ʻene ngaahi fakamoʻoni naʻa ne fakamoʻoni ʻaki kiate kinautolu; pea naʻa nau muimui ki he vaʻinga, pea naʻa nau hoko ʻo vaʻinga, mo nau muimui ki he kakai hiteni naʻe nofo takatakai ʻiate kinautolu, ʻaia naʻe fekau ai ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa nau fai ʻo hangē ko kinautolu.
16 And they forsook all [the] commandments of Yahweh God their and they made for themselves a molten image (two *Q(K)*) calves and they made an Asherah pole and they bowed down to all [the] host of the heavens and they served Baal.
Pea naʻa nau siʻaki ʻae ngaahi fekau kotoa pē ʻo Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, pea naʻa nau ngaohi maʻanautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakatātā naʻe haka, ʻio, ʻae ʻuhiki pulu ʻe ua, mo nau ngaohi ha vao tapu, mo nau lotu ki he nāunau kotoa pē ʻoe langi, mo nau tauhi kia Peali.
17 And they made pass sons their and daughters their in the fire and they divined divinations and they practiced divination and they sold themselves to do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh to provoke to anger him.
Pea naʻa nau pule ki honau ngaahi foha mo honau ngaahi ʻofefine ke nau ʻalu atu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe afi, pea naʻa nau fai fakatēvolo mo nau fai ʻae sausau, pea naʻa nau fakatau atu ʻakinautolu ke fai ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke fakatupu ai ʻa hono houhau.
18 And he was angry Yahweh very with Israel and he removed them from on face his not anyone was left only [the] tribe of Judah to only it.
Ko ia naʻe houhau lahi ai ʻa Sihova ki ʻIsileli, mo ne fetuku atu ʻakinautolu mei hono ʻao: naʻe ʻikai tuku ha taha ka ko e faʻahinga pe taha ʻo Siuta.
19 Also Judah not it kept [the] commandments of Yahweh God their and they walked in [the] customs of Israel which they had done.
Pea naʻa mo Siuta naʻe ʻikai tauhi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, ka naʻa nau ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaia naʻa nau fokotuʻu ʻekinautolu.
20 And he rejected Yahweh all [the] offspring of Israel and he afflicted them and he gave them in [the] hand of plunderers until that he threw them from before him.
Pea naʻe siʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻae hako kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, mo ne fakamamahi ʻakinautolu, mo ne tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻoe kau maumau, kaeʻoua ke ʻosi ʻa ʻene liʻaki ʻakinautolu mei hono ʻao.
21 If he tore Israel from with [the] house of David and they made king Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat (and he enticed away *Q(K)*) Jeroboam Israel from after Yahweh and he caused to sin them a sin great.
He naʻa ne haea mai ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fale ʻo Tevita; pea naʻa nau fakanofo ke tuʻi ʻa Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati: pea naʻe teketekeʻi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe Selopoami mei he muimui kia Sihova, pea naʻa ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he angahala lahi.
22 And they walked [the] people of Israel in all [the] sins of Jeroboam which he did not they turned aside from it.
He naʻe ʻaʻeva ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi angahala kotoa pē ʻa Selopoami ʻaia naʻa ne fai; naʻe ʻikai mahuʻi ʻakinautolu mei ai;
23 Until that he removed Yahweh Israel from on face his just as he had spoken by [the] hand of all servants his the prophets and it went into exile Israel from on land its Assyria towards until the day this.
Pea naʻe hiki atu ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe Sihova mei hono ʻao, ʻo hangē ko e folofola naʻa ne fai ʻi heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita kotoa pē. Ko ia naʻe fetuku atu ai ʻa ʻIsileli mei honau fonua ʻonautolu ki ʻAsilia ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.
24 And he brought [people] [the] king of Assyria from Babylon and from Cuthah and from Avva and from Hamath and Sepharvaim and he caused [them] to dwell in [the] cities of Samaria in place of [the] people of Israel and they took possession of Samaria and they dwelt in cities its.
Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ʻae kakai mei Papilone, pea mei Kuta, pea mei ʻAva, pea mei Hemati, pea mei Sifaveimi, mo ne tuku ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Samēlia, ko e fetongi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻa Samēlia, mo nofo ʻi hono ngaahi kolo ʻo ia.
25 And it was at [the] beginning of dwelling they there not they feared Yahweh and he sent Yahweh among them lions and they were killing in them.
Pea ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻo ʻenau nofo ʻi ai, naʻe ʻikai te nau manavahē kia Sihova: pea ko ia naʻe tuku atu ai ʻe Sihova ʻae fanga laione kiate kinautolu, pea naʻe mate ai ʻa honau niʻihi.
26 And people said to [the] king of Assyria saying the nations which you took into exile and you caused to dwell in [the] cities of Samaria not they know [the] custom of [the] god of the land and he has sent among them lions and there they [are] killing them since not they [are] knowing [the] custom of [the] god of the land.
Ko ia naʻa nau lea ai ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻo pehē, ʻOku ʻikai ʻilo ʻae anga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoe fonua ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga kuo ke hiki mo tuku ki he ngaahi kolo ʻo Samēlia: ko ia kuo ne fekau atu ʻae fanga laione kiate kinautolu, pea vakai, ʻoku nau tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻilo ʻekinautolu ʻae anga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoe fonua.
27 And he commanded [the] king of Assyria saying take there towards one from the priests whom you took into exile from there so they may go and they may dwell there so he may teach them [the] custom of [the] god of the land.
Pea naʻe toki fekau ai ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻo pehē, “ʻAve ki ai ha tokotaha ʻi he kau taulaʻeiki ʻaia naʻa mou ʻomi mei ai; pea tuku ke nau ʻalu ʻo nofo ʻi ai, pea tuku ke ne akoʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he anga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoe fonua.”
28 And he went one from the priests whom they had taken into exile from Samaria and he dwelt in Beth-el and he was teaching them how? will they fear Yahweh.
Pea naʻe toki haʻu ai ha tokotaha ʻi he kau taulaʻeiki ʻaia naʻa nau ʻave mei Samēlia ʻo ne nofo ʻi Peteli, pea naʻa ne akonakiʻi ʻakinautolu ke nau manavahē kia Sihova.
29 And they were making nation nation own gods its and they placed [them] - in [the] house of the high places which they had made the Samaritans nation nation in own cities their where they [were] dwelling there.
Ka naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga taki taha ʻa hono ngaahi ʻotua ʻonautolu, mo nau ʻai ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi fale ʻoe ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe he kakai Samēlia, ko e taki taha ʻae puleʻanga ʻi he ngaahi kolo naʻa nau nofo ki ai.
30 And [the] people of Babylon they made Succoth Benoth and [the] people of Cuthah they made Nergal and [the] people of Hamath they made Ashima.
Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he kakai ʻo Papilone ʻa Sukote-Pinoti, pea ʻe he kakai ʻo Kuta naʻe fokotuʻu ʻa Nelikali, pea ʻe he kakai ʻo Hemati naʻe fokotuʻu ʻa ʻAsima,
31 And the Avvites they made Nibhaz and Tartak and the Sepharvites [were] burning children their in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech ([the] gods of Sepharvaim. *Q(K)*)
Pea ʻe he kakai ʻAvi naʻe fokotuʻu ʻa Nipasi mo Talitaki, pea ʻe he kakai Sifaveimi naʻe tutu ʻenau fānau ʻi he afi kia ʻAtilameleki mo ʻAnameleki, ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻo Sifaveimi.
32 And they were fearing Yahweh and they appointed for themselves from among themselves priests of [the] high places and they were offering for them in [the] house of the high places.
Ko ia naʻa nau manavahē kia Sihova, pea naʻa nau ngaohi kiate kinautolu mei he kakai meʻavale ʻaupito ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ki he ngaahi potu māʻolunga, pea naʻa nau fai feilaulau ʻekinautolu ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoe ngaahi potu māʻolunga maʻanautolu.
33 Yahweh they were fearing and own gods their they were serving according to [the] custom of the nations which they had taken into exile them from there.
Naʻa nau manavahē kia Sihova, kae tauhi pe ki honau ngaahi ʻotua ʻonautolu, ʻo hangē ko e anga ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga naʻa nau ʻave pōpula mei ai.
34 Until the day this they [are] doing according to the customs former not they [are] fearing Yahweh and not they [are] doing according to statutes their and according to judgment their and according to the law and according to the commandment which he commanded Yahweh [the] descendants of Jacob whom he made name his Israel.
ʻOku nau fai ki heʻenau anga ʻi muʻa ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni: ʻoku ʻikai te nau manavahē kia Sihova, pea ʻoku ʻikai fai ʻekinautolu ke tatau mo ʻenau ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, pe ko ʻenau ngaahi fekau, pe hangē ko e fono mo e fekau ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ki he fānau ʻa Sēkope, ʻaia naʻa ne fakahingoa ko ʻIsileli;
35 And he made Yahweh with them a covenant and he commanded them saying not you must fear gods other and not you must bow down to them and not you must serve them and not you must sacrifice to them.
ʻAia naʻe fai ʻe Sihova mo ia ha fuakava, pea naʻa ne valoki ʻakinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te mou manavahē ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, pe fakatōmapeʻe ʻakimoutolu kiate kinautolu, pe tauhi ki ai, pe feilaulau kiate kinautolu:
36 That except Yahweh who he brought up you from [the] land of Egypt with power great and by an arm outstretched him you will fear and to him you will bow down and to him you will sacrifice.
Ka ko Sihova ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻi he mālohi lahi, mo e nima naʻe mafao atu, ko ia ia te mou manavahē ki ai, pea ko ia ia te mou lotu ki ai, pea ko ia ia te mou fai ki ai ʻae feilaulau.
37 And the statutes and the judgments and the law and the commandment which he wrote for you you will take care! to do all the days and not you must fear gods other.
Pea ko e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo e ngaahi fakamaau, pea mo e fono, mo e fekau, ʻaia naʻa ne tohi maʻamoutolu, te mou tokanga ke fai ia ʻo lauikuonga; pea ʻe ʻikai te mou manavahē ki ha ngaahi ʻotua kehe.
38 And the covenant which I made with you not you must forget and not you must fear gods other.
Pea ko e fuakava ʻaia kuo u fai mo kimoutolu, ʻe ʻikai te mou fakangaloʻi; pea ʻe ʻikai foki te mou manavahē ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe.
39 That except Yahweh God your you will fear and he he will deliver you from [the] hand of all enemies your.
Ka te mou manavahē kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua; pea te ne fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu mei he nima ʻo homou ngaahi fili kotoa pē.”
40 And not they listened that except according to custom their former they [were] doing.
Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo, pea naʻa nau fai pe ʻo hangē ko ʻenau muʻaki anga.
41 And they were - the nations these fearing Yahweh and idols their they were serving also children their - and [the] children of children their just as they did fathers their they [are] doing until the day this.
Ko ia, naʻe manavahē ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ko ia kia Sihova, ka naʻa nau tauhi ki he ngaahi meʻa fakatātā naʻe tongi, ʻa ʻenau fānau mo e fānau ʻo ʻenau fānau: ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe heʻenau ngaahi tamai, kuo pehē pe ʻenau fai ʻekinautolu ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.
