2 Kingi 15

1 No te rua tekau ma whitu o nga tau o Ieropoama kingi o Iharaira i kingi ai a Ataria tama a Amatia, kingi o Hura.

After Jeroboam had been ruling Israel for almost twenty-seven years, Uzziah, the son of King Amaziah of Judah, began to rule.

2 Tekau ma ono ona tau i a ia ka kingi nei, a e rima tekau ma rua nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Iekoria, no Hiruharama.

He was 16 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 52 years. His mother was Jecoliah, from Jerusalem.

3 A i tika tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, i rite ki nga mea katoa i mea ai a Amatia, tona papa.

He did things that Yahweh was pleased with, like his father Amaziah had done.

4 Otiia kihai i whakakahoretia nga wahi tiketike: i patu whakahere tonu ano te iwi, i tahu whakakakara ki nga wahi tiketike.

But, the places at the pagan shrines where they worshiped Yahweh were not destroyed, and the people continued to burn incense [to honor Yahweh] at those places [instead of in Jerusalem, the place that Yahweh had appointed].

5 Na pakia ana te kingi e Ihowa, a he repera ia a mate noa, a noho ana ia i te whare wehe ke. Na ko Iotama, ko te tama a te kingi, te rangatira o te whare, hei kaiwhakarite mo te iwi o te whenua.

Yahweh caused Uzziah to become a leper, and he was a leper for the rest of his life. [He was not allowed to live in the palace]. He lived alone in a house, and his son Jotham ruled the country.

6 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Ataria me ana mahi katoa, kihai ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?

[If you want to know about] everything else that Uzziah did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.

7 Na ka moe a Ataria ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki ona matua ki te pa o Rawiri; a ko Iotama, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.

Uzziah died [EUP], and they buried him in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried. Then his son Jotham officially became the king.

8 No te toru tekau ma waru o nga tau o Ataria kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Hakaraia tama a Ieropoama ki a Iharaira, ki Hamaria, e ono nga marama.

After Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-eight years, Zechariah, the son of Jeroboam, became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for [only] six months.

9 A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, i rite ki ta ona matua i mea ai: kihai i mahue i a ia nga hara o Ieropoama tama a Nepata i hara ai a Iharaira.

He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like his ancestors had done. He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the Israeli people to sin.

10 Na ka whakatupu a Harumu tama a Iapehe i te he mona, a patua ana e ia i te aroaro o te iwi, whakamatea iho, a ko ia te kingi i muri i a ia.

Then Shallum, the son of Jabesh, made plans to assassinate Zechariah. He killed him at Ibleam [town], and then he became the king.

11 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Hakaraia, nana, kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira.

Everything else that Zechariah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.

12 Ko te kupu hoki tena a Ihowa i korero ai ia ki a Iehu, i mea ai, E wha nga whakatupuranga o au tama e noho ki te torona o Iharaira. Na koia rawa ano ia.

When Zechariah died, [that ended the dynasty of King Jehu]. That fulfilled what Yahweh said to King Jehu would happen: “Your son and grandson and great-grandson and great-great-grandson will all be kings of Israel.”

13 No te toru tekau ma iwa o nga tau o Utia kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Harumu tama a Iapehe, a kotahi tino marama i kingi ai ia ki Hamaria.

Shallum, the son of Jabesh, became the king of Israel after King Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-nine years. But Shallum ruled in Samaria for [only] one month.

14 Na haere ake ana a Menaheme tama a Kari i Tirita, tae tonu ki Hamaria, patua iho e ia, a Harumu tama a Iapehe ki Hamaria, whakamatea iho; a ko ia te kingi i muri i a ia.

Then Menahem, the son of Gadi, went up from Tirzah [city] to Samaria and assassinated Shallum. Then Menahem became the king of Israel.

15 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Harumu me tana he i whakatupuria e ia, nana kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira.

Everything else that Shallum did, including his killing King Zechariah, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.

16 Na ka patua e Menaheme a Tipiha me nga mea katoa i roto, me ona rohe katoa, o Tirita mai ano; mo ratou kihai i uaki ki a ia; koia i patua ai. Ripiripia ake hoki e ia nga wahine hapu katoa o reira.

While Menahem was ruling in Samaria, he completely destroyed Tappuah [village south of Samaria] and killed all the people who lived there and in the surrounding territory. He did that because the people in that city refused to surrender to him. [With his sword] he even ripped open the bellies of pregnant women.

17 No te toru tekau ma iwa o nga tau o Ataria kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Menaheme tama a Kari ki a Iharaira ki Hamaria, a kotahi tekau ona tau i kingi ai.

When King Azariah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-nine years, Menahem, the son of Gadi, became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria for ten years.

18 A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa. Kihai i mahue i a ia i ona ra katoa nga hara o Ieropoama tama a Nepata i mea nei i a Iharaira kia hara.

He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He committed the same kinds of sins that King Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the people of Israel to sin. He continued to commit those sins for the rest of his life.

19 Na ka whakaekea te whenua e Puru kingi o Ahiria; a ka hoatu e Menaheme etahi taranata hiriwa kotahi mano ki a Puru, kia ai ai tona ringa hei awhina mona, kia u ai te kingitanga ki tona ringa.

Then King Tiglath-Pileser of Assyria came [with his army] to attack Israel. So Menahem gave him (thirty-eight tons/35,000 kg.) of silver in order that Tiglath-Pileser would help Menahem to continue to be king and rule his country more strongly.

20 Na tangohia ana e Menaheme te hiriwa i a Iharaira, i nga tangata taonga nui katoa, hei hoatu mana ki te kingi o Ahiria: e rima tekau hekere a tenei, a tenei. Na hoki ana te kingi o Ahiria, kihai hoki i noho ki taua whenua.

Menahem obtained that money from the rich men in Israel. He compelled each of them to contribute 50 pieces of silver. So Tiglath-Pileser [took that money and] went back home.

21 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Menaheme me ana mahi katoa, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira?

[If you want to know more about] everything that Menahem did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.

22 Na ka moe a Menaheme ki ona matua, a ko tana tama, ko Pekahia te kingi i muri i a ia.

Menahem died [EUP] and was buried, and his son Pekahiah became the king of Israel.

23 No te rima tekau o nga tau o Ataria kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Pekahia tama a Menaheme ki a Iharaira ki Hamaria, a e rua nga tau i kingi ai.

When King Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost 50 years, Menahem’s son Pekahiah became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria for [only] two years.

24 A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa: kihai hoki i mahue i a ia nga hara o Ieropoama tama a Nepata i hara ai a Iharaira.

He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He committed the same kind of sins that King Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the people of Israel to sin.

25 Na ka whakatupuria he he mona e tetahi o ana rangatira, e Peka tama a Remaria, patua iho ia ki Hamaria ki te tino wahi o te whare o te kingi, ratou ko Arakopa, ko Arie, me ona hoa, nga Kireari, e rima tekau tangata. Na whakamatea ana ia e ia, ko ia ano te kingi i muri i a ia.

Then one of Pekahiah’s army commanders whose name was Pekah, the son of Remaliah, planned with 50 men from [the] Gilead [region] to kill Pekahiah. They assassinated him in a fortified place in the king’s palace in Samaria. Then Pekah became the king.

26 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Pekahia me ana mahi katoa, nana, kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira.

Everything else that Pekahiah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.

27 No te rima tekau ma rua o nga tau o Ataria kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Peka tama a Remaria ki a Iharaira ki Hamaria, a e rua tekau nga tau i kingi ai.

When King Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost 52 years, Pekah, the son of Remaliah, became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria for 20 years.

28 A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa; kihai i mahue i a ia nga hara o Ieropoama tama a Nepata i hara ai a Iharaira.

He also did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He committed the same kind of sins that King Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the people of Israel to sin.

29 I nga ra o Peka kingi o Iharaira, ka haere mai a Tikirata Pirehere kingi o Ahiria, a riro ana i a ia a Iiono, a Apere Petemaaka, a Ianoa, a Kerehe, a Hatoro, a Kireara, a Kariri, te whenua katoa o Napatari, whakahekea atu ana ratou e ia ki Ahiri a.

While Pekah was the king, Tiglath-Pileser, the king of Assyria, came [with his army] and captured [the cities of] Ijon, Abel-Beth-Maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, and the regions of Gilead, Galilee, and Naphtali. His army forced the Israeli people to leave their country and go to live in Assyria.

30 Na ka whakatupu a Hohea tama a Eraha i te he mo Peka tama a Remaria, patua iho e ia, whakamatea iho; a ko ia te kingi i muri i a ia, i te rua tekau o nga tau o Iotama tama a Utia.

Then Hoshea, the son of Elah, plotted to kill Pekah. He assassinated him when Uzziah’s son Jotham had been ruling Judah for almost 20 years. Then Hoshea became the king of Israel.

31 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Peka me ana mahi katoa, nana, kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira.

Everything else that Pekah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.

32 No te rua o nga tau o Peka tama a Remaria kingi o Iharaira i kingi ai a Iotama tama a Utia kingi o Hura.

When Pekah had been ruling Israel for almost two years, Uzziah’s son Jotham began to rule Judah.

33 E rua tekau ma rima ona tau i a ia ka kingi nei, a kotahi tekau ma ono nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Ieruha, he tamahine na Haroko.

He was 25 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. His mother was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.

34 A i tika tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, i rite ana mahi ki nga mea katoa a tona papa, a Utia.

He did many things that pleased Yahweh, like his father Uzziah had done.

35 Ko nga wahi tiketike ia kihai i whakakahoretia: i patu whakahere tonu te iwi, i tahu whakakakara ki nga wahi tiketike. Nana i hanga te kuwaha o runga o te whare o Ihowa.

But he did not destroy the places on the tops of hills where the people worshiped [Yahweh], and the people continued to burn incense there [to honor Yahweh]. Jotham’s workers built the Upper Gate of the temple.

36 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Iotama me ana mahi katoa, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?

[If you want to know more about] everything else that Jotham did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.

37 I aua ra ka timata a Ihowa te unga i a Retini kingi o Hiria raua ko Peka tama a Remaria ki a Hura.

It was during the time that Jotham was the king that Yahweh sent King Rezin of Syria and King Pekah of Israel [with their armies] to attack Judah.

38 Na ka moe a Iotama ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki ona matua ki te pa o tona tupuna, o Rawiri; a ko Ahata, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.

Jotham died [EUP] and was buried where his ancestors had been buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Ahaz became the king of Judah.
