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.

Now, in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam son of Nebat, began Abijah to reign 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.

Three years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Maachah, 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, —and his heart was not blameless with Yahweh his God, like 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, did Yahweh his God give him a lamp, in Jerusalem, —by raising up a son of his after him, and by suffering Jerusalem to stand;

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.

because David did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, —and turned not aside from anything that he commanded him, all the days of his life, save only in 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.

And there was, war, between Rehoboam and Jeroboam, all the days 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.

Now, the rest of the story of Abijah and all that he did, are, they, not written in the book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? And there was, war, between Abijah 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.

So then Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, —and, Asa his son, reigned, in his stead.

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

Now, in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, began Asa to reign 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, forty-one years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Maachah, 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 that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, —like David his father;

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 put away the male devotees out of the land, —and removed all the idols that 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 also, even Maachah his mother, he removed from being queen, because she had made a monstrous thing to the Sacred Stem, —and Asa cut down her monstrous thing and burned it in the Kidron ravine.

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, removed he not, —nevertheless, the heart of Asa, was blameless with Yahweh, 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 in the hallowed things of his father, and his own hallowed things, into the house of Yahweh, —silver and gold, and vessels.

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

And there was, war, between Asa and Baasha king of Israel, 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 king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, —so as not to suffer any one to come out or go in unto Asa 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,

So Asa took all the silver and the gold, that were left in the treasuries of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the house of the king, and delivered them into the hand of his servants, —and King Asa sent them unto Ben-hadad, son of Tabrimmon, son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt 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.”

[Let there be a] covenant between me and thee, [as] between my father and thy father: Lo! I have sent thee a gift, silver and gold, Come break thy covenant with Baasha, king of Israel, that he may go up from against 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.

So Ben-hadad hearkened unto King Asa, and sent the generals of the forces which he had, against the cities of Israel, and smote Iyyohn [Ijon], and Dan, and Abel-beth-maacah, —and all Chinneroth, against 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 it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, he left off building Ramah, —and 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.

And, King Asa, published it unto all Judah, none was exempted, so they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the beams thereof, wherewith Baasha had built, —and King Asa built therewith 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, the rest of all the story of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did and the cities which he built, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? Howbeit, in the time of his old age, he was diseased 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.

So then Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, in the city of David his father, —and, Jehoshaphat his son, reigned, in his stead.

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.

Now, Nadab son of Jeroboam, began to reign over Israel, in the second year of Asa king of Judah, —and he reigned over Israel, 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 the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin, wherewith 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.

And Baasha son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him, and Baasha smote him in Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, —Nadab and all Israel being in siege against 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 Baasha slew him, in the third year of Asa king of Judah, —and reigned in his stead.

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 it came to pass, when he became king, that he smote all the house of Jeroboam, he left not remaining any breathing thing pertaining to Jeroboam, until he had destroyed him, —according to the word of Yahweh, which he spake by the hand of his servant 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.

for the sins of Jeroboam which he committed, and which he caused, Israel, to commit, —by his provocation wherewith he provoked to anger Yahweh 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?

Now, the rest of the story of Nadab, and all that he did, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles 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 king of Israel, 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 king of Judah, began Baasha, son of Ahijah, to reign over all Israel, in Tirzah, [and he reigned] 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 that which was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he caused, Israel, to sin.
