< 2 Kings 1 >
1 Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
ʻI he hili ʻae pekia ʻa ʻEhapi, naʻe angatuʻu ʻa Moape ki ʻIsileli.
2 Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper room that was in Samaria, and was sick. So he sent messengers, and said to them, “Go, inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover of this sickness.”
Pea naʻe tō hifo ʻa ʻAhasia mei he kātupa ʻi hono potu fale ki ʻolunga ʻaia naʻe ʻi Samēlia, pea ne mahakiʻia ai: pea naʻa ne kouna atu ha kau talafekau, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou ʻalu ʻo fakafehuʻi kia Peali-Sepupi ko e ʻotua ʻo Ekiloni, pea te u moʻui mei he mahaki ni pe ʻikai.”
3 But Yahweh’s angel said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and tell them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you go to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron?
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻo Sihova kia ʻIlaisiā ko e tangata Tisipa, “Tuʻu hake, mo ke ʻalu hake ke fetaulaki mo e kau talafekau ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Samēlia, pea ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻOtua ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻoku mou ʻalu ai ke fehuʻi kia Peali-Sepupi ko e ʻotua ʻo Ekiloni?’
4 Now therefore Yahweh says, “You will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.”’” Then Elijah departed.
Ko ia foki ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova, ‘ʻE ʻikai te ke ʻalu hifo mei he mohenga kuo ke ʻalu hake ki ai, ka te ke mate moʻoni.’” Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻIlaisiā.
5 The messengers returned to him, and he said to them, “Why is it that you have returned?”
Pea ʻi he liliu atu kiate ia ʻae kau talafekau, naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā eni kuo mou foki ai?”
6 They said to him, “A man came up to meet us, and said to us, ‘Go, return to the king who sent you, and tell him, “Yahweh says, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you send to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.’”’”
Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Naʻe ai ha tangata naʻe fakafetaulaki mai kiate kimautolu pea naʻa ne pehē kiate kimautolu, ‘Mou ʻalu, ʻo toe foki atu ki he tuʻi ʻaia naʻa ne fekauʻi kimoutolu, pea tala kiate ia, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻOku ʻikai ʻapē ha ʻOtua ʻi ʻIsileli kuo ke fekau ai ke fehuʻi kia Peali-Sepupi ko e ʻotua ʻo Ekiloni? Ko ia ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻalu hifo mei he mohenga kuo ke ʻalu hake ki ai, ka te ke mate moʻoni.’”
7 He said to them, “What kind of man was he who came up to meet you and told you these words?”
Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Naʻe matamata fēfē ʻae tangata ʻaia naʻa ne fakafetaulaki mai kiate kimoutolu, mo ne leaʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni kiate kimoutolu?”
8 They answered him, “He was a hairy man, and wearing a leather belt around his waist.” He said, “It’s Elijah the Tishbite.”
Pea naʻa nau pehēange, “Ko e tangata fulufulu ia, pea naʻe nonoʻo ʻaki ʻae noʻotanga kiliʻi manu ʻi hono kongaloto.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Tā ko ʻIlaisiā ko e tangata Tisipa.”
9 Then the king sent a captain of fifty with his fifty to him. He went up to him; and behold, he was sitting on the top of the hill. He said to him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down!’”
Pea naʻe toki fekau atu kiate ia ʻe he tuʻi ha ʻeiki naʻe pule ki he toko nimangofulu mo ʻene toko nimangofulu. Pea naʻa ne ʻalu hake kiate ia: pea vakai, naʻa ne nofo ʻi he tumutumu ʻo ha moʻunga. Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻA koe ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, kuo pehē ʻe he tuʻi, ‘Ke ke ʻalu hifo.’”
10 Elijah answered to the captain of fifty, “If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from the sky and consume you and your fifty!” Then fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
Pea naʻe tali ʻe ʻIlaisiā ʻo pehēange ki he ʻeiki ʻoe toko nimangofulu, “Kapau ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua au, tuku ke tō hifo ha afi mei he langi, ke ʻauha ai koe mo hoʻo toko nimangofulu.” Pea naʻe tō hifo ʻae afi mei he langi, pea ne fakaʻauha ia pea mo ʻene toko nimangofulu.
11 Again he sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty. He answered him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down quickly!’”
Pea naʻa ne toe fekau atu kiate ia ha ʻeiki kehe ʻe tokotaha mo ʻene toko nimangofulu, Pea naʻa ne pehēange kiate ia, “ʻE tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, kuo pehē mai ʻe he tuʻi, ‘Ke ke ʻalu hifo ke vave.’”
12 Elijah answered them, “If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from the sky and consume you and your fifty!” Then God’s fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
Pea naʻe tali ʻe ʻIlaisiā ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Kapau ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua au, tuku ke tō hifo ha afi mei he langi, ke ʻauha ai koe mo hoʻo toko nimangofulu.” Pea naʻe tō hifo ʻae afi mei he ʻOtua mei he langi, pea ne fakaʻauha ia pea mo ʻene toko nimangofulu.
13 Again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. The third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, and said to him, “Man of God, please let my life and the life of these fifty of your servants be precious in your sight.
Pea naʻa ne toe fekau atu ha ʻeiki mo hono tolu ʻoe toko nimangofulu, ʻaia mo ʻene toko nimangofulu. Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa hono toko tolu ʻoe ʻeiki [naʻe pule ki ]he toko nimangofulu, pea naʻa ne hoko ange mo ne tō ʻo tūʻulutui ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIlaisiā, mo ne kole kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “ʻE tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke mahuʻinga ʻi ho ʻao ʻa ʻeku moʻui, pea mo e moʻui ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ni ʻe toko nimangofulu.
14 Behold, fire came down from the sky and consumed the last two captains of fifty with their fifties. But now let my life be precious in your sight.”
Vakai, naʻe ʻalu hifo mei he langi ʻae afi, pea vela ai ʻo ʻosi ʻae ongo ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi muʻaki toko nimangofulu, pea mo ʻena toko nimangofulu: ko ia tuku eni ke mahuʻinga ʻa ʻeku moʻui ʻi ho ʻao.”
15 Yahweh’s angel said to Elijah, “Go down with him. Don’t be afraid of him.” Then he arose and went down with him to the king.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻo Sihova kia ʻIlaisiā, “Ke ke ʻalu hifo mo ia: ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē kiate ia.” Pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake, mo ne ʻalu hifo mo ia ki he tuʻi.
16 He said to him, “Yahweh says, ‘Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? Therefore you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.’”
Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Koeʻuhi kuo ke fekau atu ha kau talafekau ke fakafehuʻi kia Peali-Sepupi ko e ʻotua ʻo Ekiloni, ko e meʻa ʻapē ʻi he ʻikai ha ʻOtua ʻi ʻIsileli ke ke fakaongo ki heʻene folofola? Ko ia ʻe ʻikai ai te ke toe ʻalu hifo mei he mohenga na ʻaia kuo ke ʻalu hake ki ai, ka te ke mate moʻoni.’”
17 So he died according to Yahweh’s word which Elijah had spoken. Jehoram began to reign in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, because he had no son.
Ko ia, naʻe mate ia ʻo fakatatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ʻIlaisiā. Pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Siholami, ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo Siholami ko e foha ʻo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta; koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai hano foha.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Pea ko eni, ko e toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa ʻAhasia ʻaia naʻa ne fai, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?
