1 Tuʻi 14

1 ‌ʻI he kuonga ko ia naʻe hoko ʻae mahaki kia ʻApisa ko e ʻalo ʻo Selopoami.

At that time Abijah son of Jeroboam became very sick.

2 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Selopoami ki hono uaifi, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke tuʻu hake, mo fakapulipuli koe, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ʻilo ko e uaifi koe ʻo Selopoami; pea ke ʻalu ki Sailo; vakai, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa ʻAhisa ko e palōfita, ʻaia naʻa ne fakahā kiate au ke u tuʻi ki he kakai ni.

Jeroboam said to his wife, “Please arise and disguise yourself, so you will not be recognized as my wife, and go to Shiloh, because Ahijah the prophet is there; he is the one who spoke about me, saying that I would become king over these people.

3 Pea ʻave ʻi ho nima ha foʻi mā ʻe hongofulu, mo e ngaahi foʻi mā manifinifi, mo e hina ʻe taha ʻoe honi, pea ke ʻalu kiate ia: ʻe fakahā ʻe ia kiate koe pe ko e hā ha meʻa ʻe hoko ki he tamasiʻi.”

Take with you ten loaves, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to Ahijah. He will tell you what will happen to the child.”

4 Pea naʻe fai pehē ʻe he uaifi ʻo Selopoami, mo ne tuʻu hake, ʻo ʻalu ki Sailo, ʻo ne hoko ange ki he fale ʻo ʻAhisa. Pea naʻe ʻikai faʻa mamata ʻe ʻAhisa; he naʻe kui hono mata ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene motuʻa.

Jeroboam's wife did so; she left and went to Shiloh and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see; he lost his sight because of old age.

5 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia ʻAhisa, “Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae uaifi ʻo Selopoami ke fehuʻi kiate koe koeʻuhi ko ʻene tama; he ʻoku mahaki ia: pea ʻe pehē mo pehē ʻa hoʻo lea kiate ia: he koeʻuhi, ʻi heʻene hū mai, te ne fai ʻe ia ʻo hangē ko ha fefine kehe ia.”

Yahweh said to Ahijah, “Look, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to seek advice from you regarding her son, for he is sick. Say such and such to her, because when she comes, she will act as if she were some other woman.”

6 Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe ʻAhisa ki he patū ʻo hono vaʻe, ʻi heʻene hū mai ʻi he matapā, naʻa ne pehē, “Hū mai, ʻa koe ko e uaifi ʻo Selopoami; ko e hā ʻoku ke fai ke ke hangē ko ha taha kehe? He kuo fekauʻi au kiate koe mo e ongoongo mamafa.

When Ahijah heard the sound of her feet as she came in at the door, he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be someone you are not? I have been sent to you with bad news.

7 ‌ʻAlu, ʻo tala kia Selopoami, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, Koeʻuhi ko ʻeku hakeakiʻi koe mei he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai, pea u tuku ke ke ʻeiki koe ki hoku kakai ʻIsileli,

Go, tell Jeroboam that Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, 'I raised you from among the people to make you the leader over my people Israel.

8 Pea u haea mai ʻae puleʻanga mei he fale ʻo Tevita, mo foaki ia kiate koe: pea kuo ʻikai te ke tatau mo ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita, ʻaia naʻe fai ki heʻeku ngaahi fekau, pea ne muimui mai kiate au ʻaki ʻa hono loto kotoa, ke fai angatonu pe ʻi hoku ʻao;

I tore the kingdom away from the family of David and gave it to you, yet you have not been like my servant David, who kept my commandments and followed me with all his heart, to do only what was right in my eyes.

9 Ka kuo lahi hake ʻa hoʻo fai kovi ʻiate kinautolu fulipē naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻiate koe: he kuo ke ʻalu mo ngaohi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe, mo e ngaahi fakatātā ʻoe ukamea haka, ke fakatupu ʻa ʻeku houhau, pea kuo ke liʻaki au ki ho tuʻa:

Instead, you have done evil, more than all who were before you. You have made other gods, and you have cast metal images to provoke me to anger, and have thrust me behind your back.

10 Ko ia, vakai, te u ʻomi ʻae kovi ki he fale ʻo Selopoami, pea te u motuhi meia Selopoami ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē, pea mo ia ʻoku tāpuni mo toe ʻi ʻIsileli, pea te u ʻave ʻae toenga ʻoe fale ʻo Selopoami, ʻo hangē ko e taufetuku ʻe ha tangata ʻae kinohaʻa, kaeʻoua ke ʻosiʻosi ʻaupito ia.

Therefore, look, I will bring disaster on your family; I will cut off from you every male child in Israel, whether slave or free, and will completely remove your family, like someone who burns up dung until it is gone.

11 Ko ia ʻia Selopoami ʻoku mate ʻi he kolo ʻe keina ia ʻe he fanga kulī; pea ko ia ʻe mate ʻi he ngoue ʻe keina ia ʻe he fanga manupuna; he kuo folofola ki ai ʻa Sihova.’

Anyone who belongs to your family who dies in the city will be eaten by dogs, and anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the heavens, for I, Yahweh, have said it.'

12 Ko ia ke ke tuʻu hake koe, mo ʻalu ki ho fale ʻoʻou: pea ʻoka hū atu ho vaʻe ki he kolo, ʻe mate ʻae tamasiʻi.

So arise, wife of Jeroboam, and go back to your home; when your feet enter the city, the child Abijah will die.

13 Pea ʻe tēngihia ia ʻe ʻIsileli kotoa, mo tanu ia: he ko ia tokotaha pe ʻia Selopoami ʻe hoko ki he faʻitoka, koeʻuhi kuo ʻilo ʻiate ia ha meʻa ʻoku lelei kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he fale ʻo Selopoami.

All Israel will mourn for him and bury him. He is the only one from Jeroboam's family who will go into a grave, because only in him, out of Jeroboam's house, was anything good found in the sight of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

14 Pea ʻe fokotuʻu hake foki ʻe Sihova maʻana ha tuʻi ki ʻIsileli, ʻaia te ne fakaʻauha ʻae fale ʻo Selopoami ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: kae fēfē? ʻE hoko ia ʻi hono kuonga.

Also, Yahweh will raise up a king of Israel who will cut off the family of Jeroboam on that day. Today is that day, right now.

15 Koeʻuhi ʻe taaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e luluʻi ha vaʻakaho ʻi he vai, pea te ne taʻaki fuʻu hake ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fonua lelei ni, ʻaia naʻa ne foaki ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai, pea [te ne ]fakamovetevete kinautolu ki he tuʻa vaitafe, koeʻuhi kuo nau ngaohi ʻae ngaahi vao tapu, ke fakatupu ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova.

For Yahweh will attack Israel as a reed is shaken in the water, and he will root up Israel out of this good land that he gave to their ancestors. He will scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, because they have made their Asherah poles and provoked Yahweh to anger.

16 Pea te ne liʻaki ʻa ʻIsileli koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi angahala ʻa Selopoami, ʻaia naʻe fai angahala ʻe ia, pea naʻa ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli.”

He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, the sins that he has committed, and through which he has led Israel to sin.”

17 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae uaifi ʻo Selopoami, mo ne ʻalu, ʻo ne haʻu ki Tilisa: pea ʻi heʻene hoko mai ki he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā, naʻe mate ʻae tamasiʻi;

So Jeroboam's wife arose and left, and came to Tirzah. As she came to the threshold of her house, the child died.

18 Pea naʻa nau fai hono putu; pea naʻe tēngihia ia ʻe ʻIsileli kātoa, ʻo fakatatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki ʻi heʻene tamaioʻeiki ko ʻAhisa ko e palōfita.

All Israel buried him and mourned for him, just as it was told to them by the word of Yahweh which he had spoken by his servant Ahijah the prophet.

19 Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi meʻa naʻe fai ʻe Selopoami, ʻa ʻene ngaahi tau, mo e anga ʻo ʻene pule, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.

As for the other matters concerning Jeroboam, how he waged war and how he reigned, see, they are written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel.

20 Pea ko e kuonga naʻe pule ai ʻa Selopoami ko e taʻu ia ʻe uofulu ma ua: pea naʻa ne tokoto hifo fakataha ia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Natapi ko hono foha.

Jeroboam reigned twenty-two years and then slept with his ancestors, and Nadab his son became king in his place.

21 Pea naʻe pule ʻi Siuta ʻa Lehopoami ko e foha ʻo Solomone. Naʻe fāngofulu ma taha ʻae taʻu ʻo Lehopoami ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma fitu, ʻae kolo ko ia naʻe fili ʻe Sihova mei he faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ke tuku ʻi ai ʻa hono huafa. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Neama ko e fefine ʻAmoni.

Now Rehoboam son of Solomon was reigning in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that Yahweh had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel in which to put his name. His mother's name was Naamah the Ammonite woman.

22 Pea naʻe fai kovi ʻa Siuta ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻa nau fakatupu ʻae fuaʻa ʻiate ia ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau ngaahi angahala ʻaia naʻa nau fai, ʻo lahi hake ʻaupito ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe heʻenau ngaahi tamai.

Judah did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh; they provoked him to jealousy with the sins that they committed, more than everything that their fathers had done.

23 He naʻa nau langa foki ʻekinautolu ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga mo e ngaahi tamapua, mo e ngaahi vao tapu, ʻi he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga kotoa pē, pea ʻi he lolo ʻakau mata kotoa pē.

For they also built for themselves high places, stone pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.

24 Pea naʻe ai ʻae kakai foki ʻi he fonua naʻe angafakasotoma: pea naʻa nau fai ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi meʻa fakalielia kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga ʻaia naʻe kapusi atu mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

There were also cultic prostitutes in the land. They did the same despicable practices as the nations that Yahweh had driven out before the people of Israel.

25 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi hono nima ʻoe taʻu ʻoe tuʻi ko Lehopoami, naʻe haʻu ʻa Sisaki ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite ke ne tauʻi ʻa Selūsalema.

It happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.

26 Pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻae ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, mo e koloa ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi: ʻio, naʻa ne ʻave kotoa pē: pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻae ngaahi pā koula ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Solomone.

He took away the treasures in the house of Yahweh, and the treasures in the king's house. He took everything away; he also took all the shields of gold that Solomon had made.

27 Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe he tuʻi ko Lehopoami ʻae ngaahi pā palasa ko hono fetongi, ʻo ne tuku ia ki he nima ʻoe ʻeiki naʻe pule ki he kau leʻo, ʻaia naʻe leʻohi ʻae matapā ʻoe fale ʻoe tuʻi.

King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place and entrusted them into the hands of the commanders of the guard, who guarded the doors to the king's house.

28 Pea naʻe fai ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene hū atu ʻae tuʻi ki he fale ʻo Sihova, naʻe fua atu ia ʻe he kau leʻo, pea nau toe ʻomi ia ki he potu fale ʻoe kau leʻo.

It happened that whenever the king entered the house of Yahweh, the guards would carry them; then they would bring them back into the guardhouse.

29 Pea ko eni, ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Lehopoami, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?

As for the other matters concerning Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?

30 Pea naʻe fai ʻae tau ʻe Lehopoami mo Selopoami ʻi hona ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē.

There was constant warfare between Rehoboam and Jeroboam.

31 Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Lehopoami mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe tanu ia fakataha mo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Neama ko e fefine ʻAmoni. Pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻi he pule ʻa ʻApisami ko hono foha.

So Rehoboam slept with his ancestors and was buried with them in the city of David. His mother's name was Naamah the Ammonite woman. Abijah his son became king in his place.
