2 Kingi 3
1 Na i timata a Iehorama tama a Ahapa hei kingi mo Iharaira i Hamaria i te tekau ma waru o nga tau o Iehohapata kingi o Hura, a kotahi tekau ma rua nga tau i kingi ai ia.
Ko eni, naʻe kamata pule ki ʻIsileli ʻa Siholami ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi, ʻi Samēlia, ʻi hono hongofulu ma valu ʻoe taʻu ʻo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ua.
2 A i mahi kino ia i te aroaro o Ihowa; otiia kihai i rite ki ta tona papa, ki ta tona whaea: i whakakahoretia hoki e ia te pou o Paara i hanga e tona papa.
Pea naʻe fai kovi ʻe ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; ka naʻe ʻikai hangē ko ʻene tamai, pe hangē ko ʻene faʻē: he naʻa ne liʻaki ʻae meʻa fakatātā kia Peali ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe heʻene tamai.
3 Heoi i piri ia ki nga hara o Ieropoama tama a Nepata i hara ai a Iharaira: kihai era i whakarerea e ia.
Ka neongo ia naʻa ne pikitai ki he ngaahi angahala ʻa Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, ʻaia naʻe fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli; naʻe ʻikai tafoki ia mei ai.
4 Na he kaitiaki hipi a Meha kingi o Moapa: a, ko tana takoha ki te kingi o Iharaira, ko nga huruhuru o nga reme kotahi rau mano, o nga hipi toa kotahi rau mano.
Pea ko Mesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Moape, ko e ʻeiki ia naʻe maʻu fanga sipi, pea naʻa ne tuku ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ha fanga lami ʻe taha kilu, mo e fanga sipitangata ʻe taha kilu, pea mo honau fulufulu.
5 I te matenga ia o Ahapa, ka whakakeke te kingi o Moapa ki te kingi o Iharaira.
Ka naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene pekia ʻa ʻEhapi, naʻe angatuʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻo Moape ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
6 Na haere atu ana a Kingi Iehorama i taua wa i Hamaria, a taua ana e ia a Iharaira katoa.
Pea ʻi he kuonga ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu mei Samēlia ʻae tuʻi ko Siholami, mo ne lau hake ʻa ʻIsileli kātoa.
7 Na haere ana ia, a unga tangata ana ki a Iehohapata kingi o Hura hei ki atu, Kua whakakeke te kingi o Moapa ki ahau: tera ranei koe e haere i ahau ki te whawhai ki a Moapa? Na ka mea tera, Ka haere ahau; he rite tonu ahau ki a koe, toku iwi ki to u iwi, aku hoiho ki au hoiho.
Pea naʻa ne ʻalu mo ne fekau kia Sihosafate, ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo pehē, “Kuo angatuʻu kiate au ʻae tuʻi ʻo Moape: te ke fie ʻalu mo au ki Moape ke fai ʻae tau pe ʻikai? Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe ia, Te u ʻalu hake pe; ʻoka kou hangē ko koe, ʻoku tatau ʻa hoku kakai mo ho kakai, pea tatau ʻa ʻeku fanga hoosi mo hoʻo fanga hoosi.”
8 I mea ano ia, Ma tehea ara taua? A ka mea tera, Ma te ara i te koraha o Eroma.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Te ta ʻalu hake ʻi he hala fē? Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, ʻI he hala ʻoku ʻalu atu ʻi he toafa ʻo ʻItomi.”
9 Heoi haere ana te kingi o Iharaira, me te kingi o Hura, me te kingi o Eroma: a i haere taiawhio ratou, e whitu nga ra: na kahore he wai mo te ope, mo nga kararehe ranei e whai ana i a ratou.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, mo e tuʻi ʻo Siuta pea mo e tuʻi ʻo ʻItomi: pea naʻa nau hala fakatakamilo hake ʻo fononga ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu: pea naʻe ʻikai ha vai mā ʻae kautau, pe ko e fanga manu naʻe muimui ʻiate kinautolu.
10 Na ka mea te kingi o Iharaira, Aue, kua karangatia nei e Ihowa enei kingi tokotoru kia hoatu ki te ringa o Moapa!
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “ʻOiauē! ʻI he ui mai ʻe Sihova ke fakataha ʻae tuʻi ʻe toko tolu ni, ke tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo Moape!”
11 Na ka mea a Iehohapata, Kahore ianei i konei tetahi poropiti a Ihowa hei uinga ma tatou i ta Ihowa? Na ka whakahoki tetahi o nga tangata a te kingi o Iharaira, ka mea, Kei konei a Eriha tama a Hapata, nana ra i riringi te wai ki nga ringa o Irai a.
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate, “ʻOku ʻikai ʻi heni ha palōfita ʻa Sihova, koeʻuhi ke tau fehuʻi ʻiate ia kia Sihova?” Pea naʻe tali ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo, pehē, “ʻOku ʻi heni ʻa ʻIlaisa ko e foha ʻo Safati, ʻaia naʻe lingi vai ki he nima ʻo ʻIlaisiā.”
12 Na ka mea a Iehohapata, Kei a ia te kupu a Ihowa. Na haere ana te kingi o Iharaira ratou ko Iehohapata, ko te kingi o Eroma ki a ia.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate, “ʻOku ʻiate ia ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova.” Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hifo ai kiate ia ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, mo Sihosafate, pea mo e tuʻi ʻo ʻItomi.
13 Na ka mea a Eriha ki te kingi o Iharaira, He aha taku ki a koe? Haere ki nga poropiti a tou papa, i nga poropiti a tou whaea. A ka mea te kingi o Iharaira ki a ia, Kati ra: kua karangatia hoki enei kingi e toru e Ihowa kia hoatu ki te ringa o Mo apa.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “Ko e hā au kiate koe? Ke ke ʻalu ki he kau palōfita ʻo hoʻo tamai, pea ki he kau palōfita ʻo hoʻo faʻē.” Pea naʻe pehē kiate ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “ʻE ʻikai: he kuo ui ʻa Sihova ke fakataha mai ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ni ʻe toko tolu, koeʻuhi ke tuku ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo Moape.”
14 Ano ra ko Eriha, E ora ana a Ihowa o nga mano e tu nei ahau ki tona aroaro, ina, me i kahore toku whakaaro ki te mata o Iehohapata kingi o Hura, e kore ahau e titiro ki a koe, e kore ano e kite i a koe.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi, ʻaia ʻoku ou tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao, pea ko e moʻoni, ka ne ʻoua ʻa ʻeku tokanga ki he ʻao ʻo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pehē, ʻe ʻikai te u hanga atu kiate koe, pe mamata kiate koe.
15 Otira tikina atu ki ahau aianei tetahi kaiwhakatangi hapa. A, i te whakatangihanga a te kaiwhakatangi, na kua tae mai ki a ia te ringa o Ihowa.
Ka ko eni, ʻomi kiate au ha tangata ʻoku tā ha meʻa faiva.” Pea vakai ʻi heʻene tā ʻae hiva ʻe he tangata tā meʻa faiva, naʻe hoko mai ʻae nima ʻo Sihova kiate ia.
16 Na ka mea ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Meinga tenei raorao kia kapi i te waikeri.
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Mou fakafonu ʻae teleʻa ni ʻi he ngaahi luo.
17 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, E kore koutou e kite i te hau, e kore e kite i te ua, otira ka ki tenei raorao i te wai; a ka inu koutou, a koutou kahui, me a koutou kararehe.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻE ʻikai te mou sio ki ha matangi, pe mamata ki ha ʻuha; ka neongo ia, ʻe pito ʻae teleʻa ni ʻi he vai, koeʻuhi ke mou inu, ʻio ʻakimoutolu, pea mo hoʻomou fanga pulu, pea mo hoʻomou fanga manu.
18 Na he mea iti noa tenei ki ta Ihowa titiro: ka homai ano hoki e ia nga Moapi ki to koutou ringa.
Pea ko e meʻa maʻamaʻa eni ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: te ne tuku mai foki ʻae kakai Moape ki homou nima.
19 A ka patua e koutou nga pa taiepa katoa, me nga pa pai katoa, ka tuaina hoki nga rakau pai katoa, ka tanumia nga poka wai katoa, a ko nga mara pai hoki ka takakinotia ki te kohatu.
Pea te mou teʻia ʻae kolo kotoa pē kuo tanu puke, mo e kolo lelei kotoa pē, pea te mou tā hifo ʻae ʻakau lelei kotoa pē, mo punusi ʻae vaikeli kotoa pē, mo maumau ʻaki ʻae maka ʻae potu fonua lelei kotoa pē.”
20 Na i te ata, i te tapaenga o te whakahere totokore, he wai te puta ana i te ara o Eroma, a kapi ana te whenua i te wai.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi heʻene pongipongi, lolotonga ʻae ʻohake ʻae feilaulau meʻakai, vakai, naʻe tafe mai ʻae vai mei he hala ki ʻItomi, pea naʻe fonu ʻae fonua ʻi he vai.
21 A, no te rongonga o nga Moapi katoa kua tae ake aua kingi ki te whawhai ki a ratou, ka huihui ratou, nga mea e ahei te whitiki, me te hunga i kaumatua ake, a tu ana i te rohe.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe he kakai Moape kotoa pē, ki he ʻalu hake ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ke tauʻi ʻakinautolu, naʻa nau tānaki mai ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe faʻa fua ʻae mahafutau, ʻo fai hake, ʻonau tutuʻu ʻi he ngataʻanga [fonua].
22 A ka maranga wawe ratou i te ata, ka whiti te ra ki runga ki te wai, a ka kite nga Moapi i te wai i te ritenga atu ki a ratou, ura tonu me he toto:
Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻi he pongipongi, pea naʻe ulo ʻae laʻā ki he funga vai, pea naʻe mamata ʻe he kakai Moape ki he vai mei he potu ʻe taha, ʻoku kulokula ʻae vai ʻo hangē ko e toto:
23 A ka mea ratou, He toto tenei: koia rawa ano kua tukitukia nga kingi, kua patua ratou e ratou ano: hoatu aianei, e Moapa, ki te muru taonga!
Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e toto eni tā ko e moʻoni kuo fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi tuʻi, pea kuo nau fetāmateʻaki ʻakinautolu: ko ia foki, ʻakimoutolu Moape, ke tau ʻalu atu ki he vete.”
24 Na, i to ratou taenga ki te puni o Iharaira, ko te whakatikanga o Iharaira, patua iho nga Moapi, a rere ana ratou i to ratou aroaro: na haere tonu ratou ki roto ki te whenua me te patu haere i nga Moapi.
Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko mai ki he ʻapitanga tau ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kakai ʻIsileli ʻonau teʻia ʻae kau Moape, pea naʻa nau hola mei honau ʻao: ka naʻa nau muimui atu ʻi he teʻia ʻae kakai Moape, ʻi honau fonua ʻonautolu.
25 Na tukitukia ana e ratou nga pa; maka ana e ratou tana kohatu, tana kohatu, ki nga wahi pai katoa a kapi noa; tanumia ana nga puna wai katoa; tuaina ana hoki nga rakau pai katoa; kei Kiriharehete rawa anake ka waiho e ratou o reira kohatu: otiia i taiawhiotia tera e nga kaipiu kohatu, patua iho.
Pea naʻa nau fakalala ʻae ngaahi kolo, pea ʻilonga ʻae konga fonua kotoa pē naʻe lelei, naʻe lī ki ai ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻa ʻene maka, ke fonu ai ia; pea naʻa nau punusi ʻae ngaahi vaikeli kotoa pē, mo nau tā hifo ʻae ngaahi ʻakau lelei kotoa pē: ko Kili-Halaseti pe naʻa nau tuku ai hono ngaahi maka ʻo ia; ka naʻe nofo tākai ki ai ʻae kau tangata makatā, mo nau kapasia ia.
26 A, no te kitenga o te kingi o Moapa, kua pakeke rawa te whawhai mana, ka mau ia ki etahi tangata e whitu rau, he hunga unu hoari, hei hoa mona, hei wahi atu ki te kingi o Eroma. Otiia kihai i taea.
Pea ʻi heʻene mamata ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Moape, kuo mālohi fau ʻae tau kiate ia, naʻa ne ʻave mo ia ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fitungeau naʻe toʻo heletā, ke nau ʻoho atu ke lava ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻItomi: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau mafai.
27 Katahi ia ka mau ki tana matamua, ko ia nei hei kingi i muri i a ia, a tapaea ana hei whakahere ki runga ki te taiepa. A nui atu te morikarika ki a Iharaira: na ka mahue ia i a ratou, a hoki ana ki to ratou whenua.
Pea naʻa ne toki toʻo ʻa hono ʻuluaki foha ʻaia naʻe tonu ke hoko mo ia ki he pule, mo ne feilaulau ʻaki ia ko e feilaulau tutu ʻi he funga ʻā. Pea naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae ʻita ki ʻIsileli: pea naʻa nau liʻaki ia mo nau foki atu ki honau fonua.
