1 Tuʻi 16

1 Naʻe toki hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Sehu ko e foha ʻo Hanani, koeʻuhi ko Paʻasa, ʻo pehē,

Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha, saying:

2 “Koeʻuhi naʻaku hakeakiʻi koe mei he efu, ʻo ngaohi koe ko e ʻeiki ki hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli; pea kuo ke ʻalu koe ʻi he hala ʻo Selopoami, pea kuo ke fakaangahalaʻi ʻa hoku kakai ʻIsileli ke nau fakatupu ʻae houhau ʻiate au ki heʻenau ngaahi angahala;

“Even though I lifted you out of the dust and made you ruler over My people Israel, you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have caused My people Israel to sin and to provoke Me to anger by their sins.

3 Vakai, te u fetuku atu ʻae hako ʻo Paʻasa, mo e hako ʻo hono fale; pea [te u ]ngaohi ho fale ke hangē ko e fale ʻo Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati.

So now I will consume Baasha and his house, and I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat:

4 Ko ia ʻia Paʻasa ʻoku mate ʻi he kolo ʻe kai ia ʻe he fanga kulī; pea ko ia ʻoku ʻaʻana ʻe mate ʻi he ngoue ʻe keina ʻe he fanga manupuna ʻoe ʻatā.”

Anyone belonging to Baasha 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 air.”

5 Pea ko eni ko e toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Paʻasa, mo ia naʻa ne fai, mo ʻene mālohi, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?

As for the rest of the acts of Baasha, along with his accomplishments and might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

6 Ko ia naʻe mohe ʻa Paʻasa mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe fai hono putu ʻi Tilisa: pea naʻe pule ʻa Ela ko hono foha, ko hono fetongi.

And Baasha rested with his fathers and was buried in Tirzah, and his son Elah reigned in his place.

7 Pea naʻe ʻomi foki ʻi he nima ʻoe palōfita ko Sehu ko e foha ʻo Hanani, ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Paʻasa, pea ki hono fale ʻoʻona; ʻio, ko e meʻa ʻi he kovi kotoa pē naʻa ne fai ʻe ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻi he fakatupu ʻene houhau ki he ngāue ʻa hono nima, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene tatau mo e fale ʻo Selopoami; pea koeʻuhi ko ʻene tāmateʻi ia.

Moreover, the word of the LORD came through the prophet Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha and his house, because of all the evil he had done in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger with the work of his hands and becoming like the house of Jeroboam, and also because Baasha had struck down the house of Jeroboam.

8 ʻI hono uofulu ma ono ʻoe taʻu ʻa ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta naʻe kamata ʻe Ela ko e foha ʻo Paʻasa ke pule ki ʻIsileli ʻi Tilisa, ʻi he taʻu ʻe ua.

In the twenty-sixth year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Elah son of Baasha became king of Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah two years.

9 Pea naʻe lapasi ia ʻe heʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Simili, ko e ʻeiki naʻe pule ki hono vahe ua mālie ʻo ʻene ngaahi saliote, lolotonga ʻa ʻene ʻi Tilisa, mo ʻene inu ke kona ʻi he fale ʻo ʻAlisa ko e tauhi ʻo hono fale ʻi Tilisa.

However, while Elah was in Tirzah getting drunk in the house of Arza the steward of his household there, Elah’s servant Zimri, the commander of half his chariots, conspired against him.

10 He naʻe hū atu ʻa Simili ʻo ne taaʻi ia ke ne mate, ʻi hono uofulu ma fitu ʻoe taʻu ʻa ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, mo ne fetongi ia ʻi he pule.

So in the twenty-seventh year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Zimri went in, struck Elah down, and killed him. And Zimri reigned in his place.

11 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene kamata pule, ʻi heʻene nofo hifo leva ki hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi, naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻae kaungā fale kotoa pē ʻo Paʻasa: naʻe ʻikai te ne fakatoe ha tangata ʻe tokotaha kiate ia, ʻi hono kāinga moʻoni, pe ʻi hono kāinga kehe.

As soon as Zimri began to reign and was seated on the throne, he struck down the entire household of Baasha. He did not leave a single male, whether a kinsman or friend.

12 naʻe pehē ʻae fakaʻauha ʻe Simili ʻae fale kotoa pē ʻo Paʻasa, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki kia Paʻasa ʻia Sehu, ko e palōfita,

So Zimri destroyed the entire household of Baasha, according to the word that the LORD had spoken against Baasha through Jehu the prophet.

13 Koeʻuhi ko e angahala kotoa pē ʻa Paʻasa, mo e angahala ʻa Ela ko hono foha, ʻaia naʻa na halaia ai, mo na fakaangahala ai ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi he fakatupu ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ki heʻenau ngaahi meʻa vaʻinga.

This happened because of all the sins Baasha and his son Elah had committed and had caused Israel to commit, provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their worthless idols.

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

As for the rest of the acts of Elah, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

15 ʻI hono uofulu ma fitu ʻoe taʻu ʻa ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta naʻe pule ʻa Simili ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu ʻi Tilisa. Pea naʻe nofo ʻapitanga ʻae kakai ke tauʻi ʻa Kipitoni, ʻaia naʻe ʻoe kakai Filisitia.

In the twenty-seventh year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Zimri reigned in Tirzah for seven days. Now the troops were encamped against Gibbethon of the Philistines,

16 Pea naʻe fanongo ʻe he kakai ʻi he ʻapitanga, ki he talanoa, ʻo pehē, Kuo fai ʻae lapa ʻe Simili, pea kuo ne tāmateʻi foki ʻae tuʻi: ko ia naʻe fai ʻe ʻIsileli kātoa ke fakanofo ʻa Omili, ko e ʻeiki pule ʻoe kautau, ke ne tuʻi ki ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻi he ʻapitanga.

and the people in the camp heard that Zimri had not only conspired but had also struck down the king. So there in the camp that very day, all Israel proclaimed Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel.

17 Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Omili mei Kipitoni ʻaia mo ʻIsileli kātoa mo ia, pea naʻa nau kāpui ʻa Tilisa ʻaki ʻae tau.

Then Omri and all the Israelites marched up from Gibbethon and besieged Tirzah.

18 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene mamata ʻe Simili kuo kapa ʻae kolo, naʻa ne hū atu ki he potu māʻolunga ʻoe fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea naʻa ne tungia ʻae fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea ne mate ai,

When Zimri saw that the city was captured, he entered the citadel of the royal palace and burned it down upon himself. So he died

19 Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ngaahi angahala ʻaia naʻa ne fai hala ai mo fai kovi ai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, mo ne ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻo Selopoami, pea ʻi heʻene angahala ʻaʻana ʻaia naʻa ne fai ke ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli.

because of the sins he had committed, doing evil in the sight of the LORD and following the example of Jeroboam and the sin he had committed and had caused Israel to commit.

20 Pea ko eni ko e toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Simili, pea mo ʻene angatuʻu ʻaia naʻa ne fai, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?

As for the rest of the acts of Zimri and the treason he committed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

21 Pea naʻe vahe ua ʻae kakai ʻIsileli: ko hono vahe ʻe taha ʻoe kakai naʻe muimui kia Tipini ko e foha ʻo Kinati, ke fakanofo ia ko e tuʻi; ka ko hono vahe ʻe taha naʻe muimui kia Omili.

At that time the people of Israel were divided: Half of the people supported Tibni son of Ginath as king, and half supported Omri.

22 Ka naʻe mālohi hake ʻae kakai naʻe muimui kia Omili ki he kakai naʻe muimui kia Tipini ko e foha ʻo Kinati: pea naʻe mate ʻa Tipini kae pule ʻa Omili.

But the followers of Omri proved stronger than those of Tibni son of Ginath. So Tibni died and Omri became king.

23 ʻI hono tolungofulu ma taha ʻoe taʻu ʻa ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta naʻe kamata ʻae pule ʻa Omili ki ʻIsileli, ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ua: naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe ono ʻe Tilisa.

In the thirty-first year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned twelve years, six of them in Tirzah.

24 Pea naʻa ne fakatau ʻae moʻunga ʻo Samēlia meia Semeli ʻaki ʻae taleniti ʻe ua ʻoe siliva, pea naʻa ne fai ʻae langa ʻi he moʻunga, ʻo ne fakahingoa ʻae kolo naʻa ne langa, ki he hingoa ʻo Semeli ʻaia naʻe ʻoʻona ʻae moʻunga, ko Samēlia.

He bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver and built a city there, calling it Samaria after the name of Shemer, who had owned the hill.

25 Ka naʻe fai kovi ʻa Omili ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne fai ʻo kovi lahi hake ʻiate kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe muʻa ʻiate ia.

But Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD and acted more wickedly than all who were before him.

26 He naʻa ne ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻo Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, pea ki heʻene angahala ʻaʻana ʻaia naʻa ne fakaangahala ai ʻa ʻIsileli, ke fakatupu ai ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi heʻenau ngaahi meʻa vaʻinga.

For he walked in all the ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat and in his sins, which he caused Israel to commit, provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their worthless idols.

27 Pea ko eni ko e toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Omili ʻaia naʻa ne fai, mo ʻene mālohi naʻa ne fakahā, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?

As for the rest of the acts of Omri, along with his accomplishments and the might he exercised, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

28 Pea pehē, naʻe mohe ʻa Omili mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe fai hono putu ʻi Samēlia: pea naʻe pule ʻa ʻEhapi ko hono foha, ko hono fetongi.

And Omri rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab reigned in his place.

29 Pea ʻi hono tolungofulu ma valu ʻoe taʻu ʻa ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, naʻe kamata pule ki ʻIsileli ʻa ʻEhapi ko e foha ʻo Omili: pea naʻe pule ʻa ʻEhapi ko e foha ʻo Omili ki ʻIsileli, ʻi Samēlia, ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu ma ua.

In the thirty-eighth year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Ahab son of Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria twenty-two years.

30 Pea naʻe fai kovi ʻa ʻEhapi ko e foha ʻo Omili ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻo lahi hake ʻiate kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe muʻa ʻiate ia.

However, Ahab son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD, more than all who were before him.

31 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, hangē ko e meʻa maʻamaʻa ia ʻa ʻene ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi angahala ʻa Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, he naʻa ne fili mai ke mali mo ia ʻa Sisipeli, ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻEtipeali ko e tuʻi ʻoe kakai Saitoni, ʻo ne ʻalu ʻo tauhi kia Peali, ʻo ne lotu ki ai.

And as if it were not enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, he even married Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and he then proceeded to serve and worship Baal.

32 Pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu hake ha feilaulauʻanga kia Peali ʻi he fale ʻo Peali ʻaia naʻa ne langa hake ʻi Samēlia.

First, Ahab set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he had built in Samaria.

33 Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe ʻEhapi ha vao tapu; pea naʻe lahi hake ʻae meʻa naʻe fai ʻe ʻEhapi ke fakatupu ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli [ʻi he meʻa naʻe fai ]ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻiate ia.

Then he set up an Asherah pole. Thus Ahab did more to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel before him.

34 ‌ʻI hono ngaahi ʻaho ʻoʻona naʻe langa hake ʻa Seliko ʻe Ieli ko e tangata Peteli: naʻa ne ʻai hono tuʻunga kae mate ʻa ʻApilami ko hono ʻuluaki fānau, pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻa hono ngaahi matapā kae mate ʻa hono foha ki mui ko Sikupi, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki ʻia Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni.

In Ahab’s days, Hiel the Bethelite rebuilt Jericho. At the cost of Abiram his firstborn he laid its foundation, and at the cost of Segub his youngest he set up its gates, according to the word that the LORD had spoken through Joshua son of Nun.
