1 Tuʻi 15

1 Pea ko eni ʻi hono hongofulu ma valu ʻoe taʻu ʻoe tuʻi ko Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati naʻe pule ʻa ʻApisami ki Siuta.

Then, in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, Abijam reigned over Judah.

2 Naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolu ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Meaka, ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻApisalomi.

He reigned for three years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.

3 Pea naʻa ne muimui ki he angahala kotoa pē ʻo ʻene tamai, ʻaia naʻa ne fai ki muʻa ʻiate ia: pea naʻe ʻikai haohaoa ʻa hono loto kia Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko e loto ʻo ʻene tamai ko Tevita.

And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him. Neither was his heart perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David, his father.

4 Ka neongo ia naʻe foaki kiate ia ha maama ʻi Selūsalema ʻe Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ko Tevita, ke ne hakeakiʻi ʻa hono foha ki mui ʻiate ia, pea ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻa Selūsalema:

But for the sake of David, the Lord his God gave to him a lamp in Jerusalem, so that he might raise up his son after him, and so that he might establish Jerusalem.

5 Koeʻuhi naʻe fai totonu ʻa Tevita ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe ʻikai tafoki ia mei ha meʻa ʻe taha naʻa ne fekau kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui, ka ʻi he meʻa pe kia ʻUlia ko e tangata Heti.

For David had done what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and he had not declined from all of the things that he had instructed to him, during all the days of his life, except the matter of Uriah, the Hittite.

6 Pea naʻe fai ai pe ʻae tau ʻe Lehopoami mo Selopoami ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui.

Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam during the entire time of his life.

7 Pea ko eni ko e toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue naʻe fai ʻe ʻApisami, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta? Pea naʻe tau ʻa ʻApisami mo Selopoami.

And the rest of the words of Abijam, and all that he did, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? And there was fighting between Abijam and Jeroboam.

8 Pea naʻe mohe ʻa ʻApisami mo ʻene ngaahi tamai; pea naʻa nau fai hono putu ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita: pea ko ʻAsa ko hono foha naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule.

And Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa, his son, reigned in his place.

9 Pea naʻe hoko ʻa ʻAsa ʻo pule ki Siuta ʻi hono uofulu ʻoe taʻu ʻa Selopoami ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.

Then, in the twentieth year of Jeroboam, the king of Israel, Asa reigned as king of Judah.

10 Pea naʻe pule ia ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu ma taha. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene kui ko Meaka, ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻApisalomi.

And he reigned for forty-one years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.

11 Pea naʻe fai ʻe ʻAsa ʻaia naʻe totonu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko Tevita ko ʻene tamai.

And Asa did what was right before the sight of the Lord, just as his father David did.

12 Pea naʻa ne ʻave mei he fonua ʻae kakai angafakasotoma, mo ne ʻave ʻae ngaahi tamapua ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe heʻene ngaahi tamai.

And he took away the effeminate from the land. And he purged all the filth of the idols, which his fathers had made.

13 Pea ko Meaka foki ko ʻene kui naʻa ne liliu ia mei heʻene nofo ko e tuʻi fefine, koeʻuhi ko ʻene ngaohi ha tamapua ʻi ha vao tapu; pea naʻe maumauʻi ʻe ʻAsa ʻa hono tamapua, ʻo ne tutu ia ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ko Kitiloni.

Moreover, he also removed his mother, Maacah, from being the leader in the sacrifices of Priapus, and in his sacred grove which she had consecrated. And he destroyed his grotto. And he shattered the very indecent idol, and he burned it at the torrent Kidron.

14 Ka naʻe ʻikai liʻaki ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga: ka neongo ia naʻe angatonu kia Sihova ʻae loto ʻo ʻAsa ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē.

But the high places, he did not take away. Yet truly, the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord during all his days.

15 Pea naʻa ne fetuku mai ʻae ngaahi meʻa tapu ʻaia naʻe fakatapui ʻe heʻene tamai, mo e ngaahi meʻa naʻa ne fakatapui ʻe ia, ki he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻae siliva, mo e koula, pea mo e ngaahi ipu.

And he brought the things that his father had sanctified and vowed back to the house of the Lord: the silver, and the gold, and the vessels.

16 Pea naʻe faʻa tau ʻa ʻAsa pea mo Paʻasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi hona ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē.

Now there was war between Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, during all their days.

17 Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Paʻasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ki Siuta, pea naʻa ne langa ʻa Lama, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ne tuku ha tokotaha ke ʻalu atu pe hū mai kia ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta.

And Baasha, the king of Israel, ascended against Judah. And he built up Ramah, so that no one would be able to exit or enter from the side of Asa, the king of Judah.

18 Pea naʻe toki ʻave ʻe ʻAsa ʻae toenga siliva mo e koula kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe tuku ʻi he ngaahi tukunga koloa ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, mo e koloa ʻoe fale ʻoe tuʻi, ʻo ne ʻatu ia ki he nima ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki: pea naʻe ʻave ia ʻe ʻAsa kia Peni-Hatati, ko e foha ʻo Tapilimoni, ko e foha ʻo Hesioni, ko e foha ʻo Tapilimoni, ko e foha ʻo Hesioni, ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Tamasikusi, ʻo ne lea ʻo pehē,

And so, Asa took all the silver and the gold which had remained in the treasuries of the house of the Lord, and in the treasuries of the house of the king, and he gave it into the hands of his servants. And he sent them to Benhadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, the king of Syria, who was living in Damascus, saying:

19 Kuo ta fefuakavaʻaki ʻakitaua, pea pehē mo ʻeku tamai pea mo hoʻo tamai: “Pea vakai, kuo u fekau atu kiate koe ha meʻaʻofa ko e siliva mo e koula; haʻu ʻo maumauʻi ʻa hoʻo fuakava mo Paʻasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻalu ʻiate au.”

“There is a pact between me and you, and between my father and your father. For this reason, I have sent to you gifts of silver and of gold. And I ask you to go and break your pact with Baasha, the king of Israel, so that he may withdraw from me.”

20 Ko ia naʻe tokanga ʻa Peni-Hatati ki he tuʻi ko ʻAsa, mo ne fekau atu ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki pule ʻoe kautau naʻe ʻiate ia ke tauʻi ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻa ne teʻia ʻa Isoni, mo Tani, mo ʻEpeli-Petemeʻaka, pea mo Kineloti kātoa, pea mo e fonua kotoa pē ʻo Nafitali.

Benhadad, acquiescing to king Asa, sent the leaders of his army against the cities of Israel. And they struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel, the house of Maacah, and all of Chinneroth, that is, all the land of Naphtali.

21 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fanongo ki ai ʻa Paʻasa, naʻa ne tutuku mei heʻene langa ʻa Lama, pea nofo ia ʻi Tilisa.

And when Baasha had heard this, he ceased from fortifying Ramah, and he returned to Tirzah.

22 Pea naʻe toki fai fono ʻe ʻAsa ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻo Siuta; naʻe ʻikai ha potu ʻe taʻekau: pea naʻa nau fetuku ʻo ʻave ʻae ngaahi maka ʻo Lama, pea mo hono ngaahi ʻakau, ʻaia naʻe langa ʻaki ia ʻe Paʻasa; pea naʻe langa ʻaki ia ʻe ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻa Kepa ʻo Penisimani, pea mo Misipa.

Then king Asa sent an announcement to all of Judah, saying, “Let no one be excused.” And they took away the stones from Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had fortified it. And from these things, king Asa built up Geba of Benjamin and Mizpah.

23 Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue naʻe fai ʻe ʻAsa, pea mo ʻene mālohi kātoa, mo ia fulipē naʻa ne fai, mo e ngaahi kolo naʻa ne langa, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta? Ka ʻi he kuonga ʻo ʻene motuʻa lahi naʻa ne mahakiʻia ʻi hono vaʻe.

Now all the rest of the words of Asa, and his entire strength, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? Yet truly, in the time of his old age, he was afflicted in his feet.

24 Pea naʻe mohe ʻa ʻasi mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe fai hono putu ki he potu ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita ko ʻene tamai: pea naʻe pule ʻa Sihosafate ko hono foha, ko hono fetongi.

And he slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Jehoshaphat, his son, reigned in his place.

25 Pea naʻe kamata pule ʻa Natapi ko e foha ʻo Selopoami ʻi ʻIsileli ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻa ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea naʻa ne pule ki ʻIsileli ʻi he taʻu ʻe ua.

Yet truly, Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, reigned over Israel, in the second year of Asa, the king of Judah. And he reigned over Israel for two years.

26 Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻi he hala ʻo ʻene tamai, pea ʻi he angahala ʻaia naʻa ne fakaangahala ai ʻa ʻIsileli.

And he did what is evil in the sight of the Lord. And he walked in the ways of his father and in his sins, by which he caused Israel to sin.

27 Pea naʻe fakalangalanga tau kiate ia ʻe Paʻasa ko e foha ʻo ʻAhisa, ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsaka; pea naʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻe Paʻasa ʻi Kipitoni, ʻaia ʻoku ʻoe kakai Filisitia; he naʻe kāpui ʻa Kipitoni ʻaki ʻae tau ʻe Natapi pea mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē.

Then Baasha, the son of Ahijah, from the house of Issachar, set an ambush against him, and he struck him down at Gibbethon, which is a city of the Philistines. For indeed, Nadab and all of Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.

28 ‌ʻIo, ʻi hono tolu ʻoe taʻu ʻa ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta naʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻe Paʻasa, mo ne totongi ai ia ʻi he pule.

And so Baasha killed him in the third year of Asa, the king of Judah, and he reigned in his place.

29 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, lolotonga ʻa ʻene pule ʻaʻana, naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻae fale kātoa ʻo Selopoami; naʻe ʻikai tuku kia Selopoami ha tokotaha naʻe kei mānava, ka naʻa ne fakaʻauha ia, ʻo fakatatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki ʻi heʻene tamaioʻeiki ko ʻAhisa ko e tangata Sailo:

And when he had reigned, he struck down the entire house of Jeroboam. He did not leave behind even one soul from his offspring, until he had wiped him away, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the hand of Ahijah, the Shilonite,

30 Koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi angahala ʻa Selopoami, ʻaia naʻa ne angahala ai, mo ne fakaangahala ʻaki ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi heʻene ʻahiʻahiʻi kovi ʻaia naʻa ne ʻahiʻahiʻi kovi ai kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ke ne houhau ai.

because of the sin of Jeroboam, which he had committed, and by which he had caused Israel to sin, and because of the offense by which he had provoked the Lord, the God of Israel.

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

But the rest of the words of Nadab, and all that he did, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

32 Pea naʻe faʻa tau ʻa ʻAsa mo Paʻasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi hona ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē.

And there was war between Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, during all their days.

33 ‌ʻI hono tolu ʻoe taʻu ʻa ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta naʻe kamata ai ʻae pule ʻa Paʻasa ko e foha ʻo ʻAhisa ki ʻIsileli kātoa ʻi Tilisa, ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu ma fā.

In the third year of Asa, the king of Judah, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, reigned over all of Israel, at Tirzah, for twenty-four years.

34 Pea naʻa ne fai ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, mo ne ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻo Selopoami, pea ʻi he kovi ʻaʻana ʻaia naʻa ne fakaangahala ai ʻa ʻIsileli.

And he did evil in the sight of the Lord. And he walked in the ways of Jeroboam, and in his sins, by which he caused Israel to sin.
