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 LORD’s word came to Jehu the 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;

“Because I exalted you out of the dust and made you prince over my people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have made my people Israel to sin, 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.

behold, I will utterly sweep away Baasha and his house; and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the 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 Baasha’s descendants who die in the city; and he who dies of his in the field, the birds of the sky will eat.”

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?

Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, aren’t they 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.

Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah; and Elah his son 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 LORD’s word came by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he struck him.

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 the son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah for 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 he 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.

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

When he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, he attacked all the house of Baasha. He didn’t leave him a single one who urinates on a wall among his relatives or his 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,

Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to the LORD’s word 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, which they sinned and with which they made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.

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?

Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, aren’t they 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 king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were encamped against 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 people who were encamped heard that Zimri had conspired, and had also killed the king. Therefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.

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,

When Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the fortified part of the king’s house and burned the king’s house over him with fire, and 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.

for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did to make 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?

Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he committed, aren’t they 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.

Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the 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 prevailed against the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath; so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.

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 king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel for twelve years. He reigned six years 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 Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the 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 that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and dealt wickedly above 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 way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins with which he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.

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?

Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he showed, aren’t they 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.

So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son 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 king of Judah, Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel. Ahab the 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 the son of Omri did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight above all that 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.

As if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal and worshiped him.

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

He raised up 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 the Asherah; and Ahab did more yet to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were 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 his days Hiel the Bethelite built Jericho. He laid its foundation with the loss of Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates with the loss of his youngest son Segub, according to the LORD’s word, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.
