< II Oihanaalii 19 >

1 HOI mai la o Iehosapata ke alii o Iuda i kona hale iho ma Ierusalema me ka maluhia.
Pea naʻe liliu atu ʻa Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻi he fiemālie ki hono fale ki Selūsalema.
2 Hele ae la iwaho e halawai pu me ia o Iehu, ke keiki a Hanani ke kaula, olelo aku la i ke alii ia Iehosapata, E pono anei oe ke kokua i ka poe hewa, a e aloha i ka poe i inaina aku ia Iehova? No keia mea, aia maluna ou ka huhu, mai o Iehova mai.
Pea naʻe ʻalu kituaʻā ʻa Sehu ko e foha ʻo Hanani ko e tangata kikite ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē ki he tuʻi ko Sihosafate, “He ʻoku totonu kiate koe ke tokoni ki he taʻeangafakaʻotua? Pea ke ʻofa kiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kia Sihova? Ko ia kuo hoko ai ha houhau meia Sihova kiate koe.
3 Ua loaa no nae kekahi mau mea maikai iloko ou, no ka mea, ua kipaku oe i na kii o Asetarota mai ka aina aku, a ua hoomakaukau oe i kou naau e imi i ke Akua.
Ka ko e moʻoni ʻoku ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei siʻi ʻoku ʻilo ʻiate koe, koeʻuhi ʻi hoʻo ʻave ʻae ngaahi vao tapu mei he fonua, pea kuo ke teuteu ho loto ke kumi kia Sihova.”
4 Noho iho la o Iehosapata ma Ierusalema, a kaahele ae la ia iwaena o na kanaka, mai Beereseba a i ka mauna o Eperaima, a hoohuli oia ia lakou ia Iehova i ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna.
Pea naʻe nofo ʻa Sihosafate ʻi Selūsalema: pea toe ʻalu atu ia ki he kakai kotoa pē mei Peasipa ʻo aʻu ki he moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi, ʻo ne liliu ʻakinautolu kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.
5 Hoonoho oia i mau lunakanawai ma ka aina, ma na kulanakauhale o Iuda i paa i ka pa a pau, ma kela kulanakauhale, keia kulanakauhale.
Pea naʻe fakanofo ʻe ia ʻae kau fakamaau ʻi he fonua ʻi he ngaahi kolotau kotoa pē ʻo Siuta ʻi he kolo taki taha kotoa pē.
6 Olelo aku la oia i na lunakanawai, E noonoo oukou i na mea a oukou e hana'i; no ka mea, aole no na kanaka oukou e hooponopono ai, no Iehova no, a oia pu kekahi me oukou i ka hooponopono ana.
Pea naʻa ne pehē ki he kau fakamaau, “Vakai ki he meʻa ʻoku mou fai: he ʻoku ʻikai te mou fakamaau maʻae tangata, ka kia Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he fakamaau.
7 Nolaila e kauia mai ka makau ia Iehova maluna o oukou, e malama, e hana hoi; no ka mea, aohe hewa me Iehova ko kakou Akua, aole ia e manao mai i ko ke kanaka kino, aole hoi ia e lawe i ke kipe.
Ko ia tuku ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae manavahē kia Sihova: pea vakai pea fai ia: he ʻoku ʻikai ha angahia ʻia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, pe ha filifilimānako kakai, pe ha maʻu meʻaʻofa.”
8 A ma Ierusalema hoi, ua hoonoho o Iehosapata i kekahi poe o na Levi, a me na kahuna, a me kekahi poe luna o na makua o ka Iseraela, e hookolokolo no Iehova i na mea hoopaapaa, i ko lakou hoi ana mai i Ierusalema.
Pea naʻe fakanofo foki ʻe Sihosafate ʻi Selūsalema, ʻae niʻihi ʻoe kau Livai, pea mo e kau taulaʻeiki, mo e niʻihi ʻi he tuʻukimuʻa ʻoe kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke fai ʻae fakamaau ʻa Sihova, pea ki he ngaahi fakakikihi, ʻi heʻenau liu mai ki Selūsalema.
9 Kauoha aku la oia ia lakou, i aku la, Penei oukou e hana'i me ka makau ia Iehova, a me ka oiaio a me ka naau pololei.
Pea naʻe fekau pau ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ʻo pehē, “Ke mou fai pehē pe ʻi he manavahē kia Sihova, ʻo angatonu pea ʻi he loto haohaoa.
10 A o ka hoopaapaa a pau a ko oukou poe hoahanau e noho ana ma ko oukou kulanakauhale e lawe mai ai io oukou la, mawaena o kekahi koko, a me kekahi koko, a mawaena o ke kanawai, a me ko kauoha, a me na olelo kupaa, a me ka olelo hooponopono, e ao aku oukou ia lakou i hewa ole lakou ia Iehova, o hiki mai ka huhu maluna o oukou, a maluna o ko oukou poe hoahanau: pela oukou e hana'i, a lawehala ole oukou.
Pea ko e meʻa ia kotoa pē ʻe ʻomi kiate kimoutolu ʻi homou ngaahi kāinga ʻoku nofo ʻi honau ngaahi kolo, ʻi he fetāmateʻaki, pe ʻi he fono mo e fekau, mo e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ke mou valoki ʻakinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa nau fai angahala kia Sihova, ke hoko ai ʻae houhau kiate kimoutolu, pea ki homou kāinga: mou fai ia, pea ʻe ʻikai te mou fai hala.
11 Aia hoi o Amaria ke kahuna, o ko oukou luna ia ma na oihana na Iehova; a o Zebadia, ke keiki a Isemaela, oia ka luna o ka hale o Iuda ma na mea a pau a ke alii; a o na Levi, o lakou kekahi poe luna no oukou. E hoihoi oukou, e hana, a o Iehova pu kekahi me ka mea pono.
Pea vakai, ko ʻAmalia ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻoku pule ia kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻia Sihova: pea pule ʻa Sepatia ko e foha ʻo ʻIsimeʻeli, ko e pule ʻoe fale ʻo Siuta, ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻae tuʻi: pea ko e kau Livai foki ko e ngaahi matāpule ʻi homou ʻao. [Mou ]fai loto mālohi, pea ʻe kau ʻa Sihova mo e angalelei.”
