1 Tuʻi 16

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

The word of Yahweh 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;

“Although I exalted you out of the dust and made you leader over my people Israel, you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have made my people Israel to sin, so as to provoke me to anger with 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.

See, I will completely sweep away Baasha and his family and I will make your family like the family 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.”

The dogs will eat anyone belonging to Baasha who dies in the city, and the birds of the sky will eat anyone who dies in the fields.”

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 other matters concerning Baasha, what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the events 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.

Baasha slept with his ancestors and was buried in Tirzah, and Elah his son became king 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.

So by the prophet Jehu son of Hanani the word of Yahweh came against Baasha and his family, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of Yahweh, so as to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, like the family of Jeroboam, and also because he had killed all of Jeroboam's family.

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 king of Judah, Elah son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah; he reigned 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.

His servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now Elah was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah.

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.

Zimri went in, attacked him and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and became king 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.

When Zimri began to reign and was seated on his throne, he killed all the family of Baasha. He did not leave alive a single male belonging to Baasha's relatives or friends.

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 all the family of Baasha, according to the word of Yahweh which he spoke against Baasha by 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.

for all the sins of Baasha and the sins of Elah his son that they committed, and by which they had led Israel to sin, so that they provoked Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger with their 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 other matters concerning Elah, all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events 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 king of Judah, Zimri reigned only for seven days in Tirzah. Now the army was camped by Gibbethon, which belonged to 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.

The army camped there heard it said, “Zimri has plotted and has killed the king.” So that day in the camp, all Israel declared 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.

Omri went up from Gibbethon and all Israel with him, and they 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,

So when Zimri saw that the city had been taken, he went into the fortress attached to the king's palace and set fire to the building over him; in this way he died in the flames.

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.

This was for the sins that he had committed in doing what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, by walking in the way of Jeroboam and in the sin that he had committed, so as to lead Israel to sin.

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 other matters concerning Zimri, and the treason that he carried out, are they not written in the book of the events 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.

Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts. Half of the people followed Tibni son of Ginath, to make him king, and half followed 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 people who followed Omri were stronger than the people who followed 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.

Omri began to reign over Israel in the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned twelve years. He reigned from Tirzah for six years.

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. He built a city on the hill and called the name of the city Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the past owner of 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.

Omri did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh and acted more wickedly than all who had been 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 by which he led Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to be angry 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 other matters concerning Omri which he did, and the might that he showed, are they not written in the book of the events 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.

So Omri slept with his ancestors and was buried in Samaria and Ahab his son became king 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 king of Judah, Ahab son of Omri began to reign over Israel. Ahab son of Omri reigned over Israel 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.

Ahab son of Omri did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, more than all those 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.

It was to Ahab a trivial thing to walk in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, so he took as his wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians; he went and worshiped Baal and bowed down to him.

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

He built an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which 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.

Ahab made an Asherah pole. Ahab did even more to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who had been 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.

During Ahab's rule, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. Hiel laid the foundation of the city at the cost of the life of Abiram, his firstborn son; and Segub, his youngest son, lost his life while he was building the gates of the city, in keeping with the word of Yahweh which he spoke by Joshua son of Nun.
