2 Whakapapa 26
1 Katahi te iwi katoa o Hura ka mau ki a Utia, kotahi tekau ma ono nei ona tau, a meinga ana hei kingi i muri i tona papa, i a Amatia.
Pea naʻe toki ʻave ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo Siuta ʻa ʻUsaia, ʻaia naʻe hongofulu ma ono taʻu hono motuʻa, ʻo fakanofo ia ke tuʻi ko e fetongi ʻo ʻene tamai ko ʻAmasia.
2 Na tenei i hanga Eroto, a whakahokia ana ki a Hura, i muri i te moenga o te kingi ki ona matua.
Naʻa ne langa ʻa ʻEloti, ʻo toe fakakau ia ki Siuta, ʻi he hili ange ʻae mohe ʻae tuʻi ki heʻene ngaahi tamai.
3 Kotahi tekau ma ono nga tau o Utia i tona kingitanga, a e rima tekau ma rua ona tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama; a ko te ingoa o tona whaea, ko Iekoria, no Hiruharama.
Naʻe hongofulu ma ono ʻae taʻu ʻoe motuʻa ʻo ʻUsaia ʻi he kamata ʻene pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe nimangofulu mo e taʻu ʻe ua ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē foki ko Sekolia ʻo Selūsalema.
4 I tika tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, i rite ki nga mea katoa i mea ai tona papa, a Amatia.
Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻaia naʻe lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe heʻene tamai ko ʻAmasia.
5 I rapua e ia ta te Atua i nga ra o Hakaraia, he tangata mohio tera i nga whakakitenga mai a te Atua. Na i nga ra i rapua ai e ia ta Ihowa, ka meinga ia e te Atua kia kake.
Naʻe kumi ʻe ia ki he ʻOtua ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Sakalia, ʻaia naʻe poto ʻi he ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa hā mai ʻae ʻOtua: pea lolotonga ʻene kumi kia Sihova, naʻe fakamonūʻia ia ʻe he ʻOtua.
6 I haere ano ia ki te whawhai ki nga Pirihitini, a wawahia ana e ia te taiepa o Kata, me te taiepa o Iapane, me te taiepa o Aharoro; a hanga ana e ia etahi pa ki te whenua o Aharoro, ki roto hoki i nga Pirihitini.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia ʻo tauʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia, ʻo ne holoki hifo ʻae ʻā maka ʻo Kati, mo e ʻā maka ʻo Sapina, mo e ʻā maka ʻo ʻAsitoti, pea ne langa ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻi he fonua ʻAsitoti, pea ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai Filisitia.
7 A i awhinatia ia e te Atua i te whawhai ki nga Pirihitini, ki nga Arapi i noho ki Kurupaara, ratou ko nga Meunimi.
Pea naʻe tokoni ia ʻe he ʻOtua ke tauʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia, pea ke tauʻi ʻae kakai ʻAlepea ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Kuapeali, mo e kakai Mehunimi.
8 A homai ana e nga Amoni he hakari ki a Utia; paku ana hoki tona ingoa a tae noa ki te tomokanga ki Ihipa; na ka nui atu tona kaha.
Pea naʻe foaki ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa ʻe he kakai ʻAmoni kia ʻUsaia: pea naʻe ongoongoa atu hono hingoa ʻo aʻu ki he hūʻanga ki ʻIsipite: he naʻa ne fakamālohi ia ke lahi ʻaupito.
9 I hanga ano e Utia etahi pourewa ki Hiruharama, ki te kuwaha i te kokonga, ki te kuwaha i te raorao, ki te koki o te taiepa, hanga ana e ia kia kaha.
Pea naʻe langa foki ʻe ʻUsaia ʻae ngaahi fale māʻolunga ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he matapā ʻi he tuliki, pea ʻi he matapā ʻoe potu talalo, pea ʻi he afenga, ʻo ne langa foʻou ia.
10 I hanga ano e ia etahi pourewa ki te koraha, a keria ana etahi poka wai, he maha, he tini hoki ana kararehe; i te raorao ano, a i te mania: a he kaimahi whenua ana, he kaimahi waina i nga maunga, i nga mara whai hua hoki: he tangata ahu whenua h oki ia.
Pea naʻa ne langa ʻae ngaahi fale māʻolunga ʻi he toafa, pea keli ʻae ngaahi vai lahi: he naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻene fanga manu, ʻi he fonua ʻi lalo, pea mo e ngaahi tafangafanga: mo e kau tauhi ngoue, mo e kau tauhi vaine ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, pea ʻi Kameli: he naʻe manako ia ki he tauhi ngoue.
11 He ope ano ta Utia, he hunga whawhai; i haere a ropu ki te whawhai; ko te tokomaha, kei to ratou tauanga e Teiere kaituhituhi raua ko te kaiwhakahaere, ko Hanania, ko tetahi o nga rangatira a te kingi.
Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻUsaia foki ʻae kau tangata fai tau, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu vahevahe pe ki he tau, ʻo fakatatau ki honau lau ʻi he pule ʻa Sieli ko e tangata tohi mo Māseia ko e pule, ʻi he nima ʻo Hanania, ko e tokotaha ʻoe ngaahi ʻeiki pule ʻae tuʻi.
12 Ko te tokomaha katoa o nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua o nga toa marohirohi, e rua mano e ono rau.
Ko hono lau kotoa ʻoe kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he kau mātuʻa, ʻoe kau tangata toʻa mālohi naʻe toko ua afe mo e toko onongeau.
13 Na, ko te ope hei arahi ma ratou, he mea i rakaia, e toru rau e whitu mano e rima rau, he hunga i kaha rawa ta ratou whawhai, hei tuara mo te kingi ki te hoariri.
Pea naʻe ʻi honau nima ʻae fuʻu tau, ko e toko tolu kilu mo e toko fitu afe mo e toko nimangeau, naʻe fai ʻae tau ʻi he mālohi lahi, ke tokoni ki he tuʻi ke tauʻi ʻae fili.
14 Kua pae noa ake i a Utia he whakangungu rakau mo ratou puta noa i te ope, te tao, he potae, he pukupuku, he kopere, he kotaha piu kohatu.
Pea naʻe tokonaki ʻe ʻUsaia moʻonautolu ʻi he tau kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi pā, mo e tao, mo e tatā, mo e ngaahi kofutau, mo e ngaahi kau fana, mo e ngaahi makatā.
15 I hanga ano e ia etahi mea ki Hiruharama, he mea whakaaro na nga tangata mohio, hei uta ki runga i nga pourewa, i nga pou koki, hei kopere i nga pere, i nga kohatu nunui hoki. A paku ana tona ingoa ki tawhiti; he hanga whakamiharo hoki tona awhi natanga a kaha noa ake ia.
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻi Selūsalema ʻae ngaahi meʻa tau, naʻe fakakaukau hono ngaohi ʻe he kau tangata poto, ke fokotuʻu ʻi he ngaahi fale māʻolunga pea ki he ngaahi puke, ke fanaʻaki ʻae ngahau mo e ngaahi maka lahi. Pea naʻe ongoongo ki he mamaʻo hono hingoa: he naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae tokoni kiate ia, ke ne mālohi ai.
16 Otiia i a ia ka kaha nei, ka whakakake tona ngakau, ka mahi i te kino, a takahia ana e ia ta Ihowa, ta tona Atua; i tomo hoki ia ki te temepara o Ihowa, ki te tahu whakakakara ki runga ki te aata whakakakara.
Ka ʻi heʻene mālohi naʻe mahikihiki hake hono loto ke kovi lahi ai ia: he naʻa ne fai talangataʻa kia Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, pea naʻe hū ia ki he faletapu ʻo Sihova ke tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala he feilaulauʻanga ʻoe meʻa namu kakala.
17 Na ka haere atu i muri i a ia a Ataria tohunga, ratou ko etahi tohunga o Ihowa, e waru tekau, he hunga maia.
Pea naʻe hū ki ai ʻa ʻAsalia ko e taulaʻeiki ʻo muimui ʻiate ia, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻa Sihova ʻe toko valungofulu, ko e kau tangata toʻa:
18 Na ka turia atu e ratou a Utia, te kingi, a ka mea ratou ki a ia, E kore e tika mau, e Utia, te tahu whakakakara ki a Ihowa; engari ma nga tohunga, ma nga tama a Arona, i whakatapua nei hei tahu whakakakara. Haere atu i te wahi tapu kua he hoki koe; ehara hoki i te mea e whai kororia ai koe i te Atua, i a Ihowa.
Pea naʻa nau tali tuʻu ki he tuʻi ko ʻUsaia, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻE ʻUsaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate koe ke tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala kia Sihova, ka ki he kau taulaʻeiki ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone, ʻaia kuo fakatapui ke tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala: ʻalu kituʻa koe mei he faletapu, he kuo ke fai hala: pea ʻe ʻikai foki te ke ongoongolelei ai meia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.”
19 Katahi ka riri a Utia; i tona ringa ano he tahu kakara hei tahu whakakakara; a, i a ia e riri ana ki nga tohunga, ka puta ake te repera i tona rae i te aroaro o nga tohunga i roto i te whare o Ihowa, i te taha o te aata tahu whakakakara.
Pea naʻe houhau ai ʻa ʻUsaia, pea naʻe ʻi hono nima ʻae ʻaiʻanga afi, ke tutu ai ʻae meʻa namu kakala: pea lolotonga ʻene houhau ki he kau taulaʻeiki, naʻe tupu hake ʻae kilia ʻi hono foʻi laʻē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, mei he potu ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻoe meʻa namu kakala.
20 A, ko te tahuritanga o te tino tohunga, o Ataria, ratou ko nga tohunga katoa ki a ia, nana, he repera tera kei tona rae, peia ana ia e ratou i reira; ko ia ano i hohoro te haere, no te mea kua pakia ia e Ihowa.
Pea naʻe mamata kiate ia ʻe ʻAsalia ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, pea mo e kau taulaʻeiki kotoa pē, pea vakai, kuo kilia ia ʻi hono laʻē, pea naʻa nau tekeʻi ia mei ai kituʻa: ʻio, pea naʻe fakatoʻotoʻo ia ke ʻalu kituʻa, he kuo taaʻi ia ʻe Sihova.
21 Na he repera a Utia te kingi a taea noatia te ra i mate ai, a noho ana i te whare motuhake, he repera hoki, he mea momotu atu hoki i te whare o Ihowa; a ko tana tama ko Iotama, te rangatira mo te whare o te kingi, hei kaiwhakarite mo te iwi o te whenua,
Pea naʻe kilia ʻae tuʻi ko ʻUsaia ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻo ʻene pekia, pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi he fale liʻaki, he ko e kilia ia; he naʻe motuhi ia mei he fale ʻo Sihova pea naʻe pule ʻa Sotami ko hono foha ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi, ʻo fakamaauʻi ʻae kakai ʻoe fonua.
22 Na ko era atu meatanga a Utia, o mua, o muri, kua oti te tuhituhi e Ihaia poropiti tama a Amoho.
Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngāue ʻa ʻUsaia, ko e ʻuluaki mo e kimui, naʻe tohi ia ʻe ʻIsaia ko e palōfita, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmosi.
23 Heoi kua moe a Utia ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki ona matua ki te mara i to nga kingi tanumanga; i mea hoki ratou, He repera ia; a ko tana tama, ko Iotama, te kingi i muri i a ia.
Pea pehē naʻe mohe ʻa ʻUsaia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he ngoue ʻoe tanuʻanga naʻe kau ki he ngaahi tuʻi: he naʻa nau pehē, Ko e kilia ia: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Sotami ko hono ʻalo.
