2 Meʻa Hokohoko 21
1 Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Sihosafate mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe tanu ia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he kolo ʻa Tevita. Pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Siholami ko hono foha.
And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.
2 Pea naʻe ʻiate ia hono ngaahi kāinga ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Sihosafate, ko ʻAsalia, mo Sehieli, mo Sakalia, mo ʻAsalia, mo Mikaeli, mo Sifatia: ko kinautolu ni ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
And he had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
3 Pea naʻe foaki kiate kinautolu ʻe heʻenau tamai ʻae ngaahi foaki lahi ʻoe siliva mo e koula, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga lahi, mo e ngaahi kolotau ʻi Siuta: ka naʻa ne foaki ʻae puleʻanga kia Siholami: he ko e ʻuluaki tupu ia.
And their father gave them great gifts, of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah. But the kingdom he gave to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn.
4 Pea ʻi he hoko ʻa Siholami ki he puleʻanga ʻo ʻene tamai, naʻa ne fakamālohi ia: pea ne tāmateʻi hono ngaahi kāinga ʻaki ʻae heletā, mo e houʻeiki niʻihi ʻo ʻIsileli foki.
Now when Jehoram was risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and also various of the rulers of Israel.
5 Naʻe tolungofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe ua ʻae motuʻa ʻo Siholami ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ʻe ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe valu ʻi Selūsalema.
Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
6 Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻi he hala ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe he fale ʻo ʻEhapi: he naʻa ne fakamaʻu mali mo e ʻofefine ʻo ʻEhapi: pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻaia naʻe kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab, for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife. And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah.
7 Ka ko e moʻoni naʻe ʻikai fie fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova ʻae fale ʻo Tevita, ko e meʻa ʻi he fuakava naʻa ne fai mo Tevita, pea mo ʻene talaʻofa ke foaki ʻae maama kiate ia pea ki hono ngaahi foha ʻo taʻengata.
However Jehovah would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a lamp to him and to his sons always.
8 naʻe angatuʻu ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho ʻae kakai ʻItomi ki he puleʻanga ʻo Siuta, pea naʻa nau fakanofo honau tuʻi ʻonautolu.
In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
9 Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Siholami mo ʻene ngaahi houʻeiki, mo ʻene ngaahi saliote kotoa pē: pea tuʻu hake ia ʻi he poʻuli, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻae kakai ʻItomi naʻe nofo takatakai ʻiate ia, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki pule ʻoe ngaahi saliote.
Then Jehoram passed over with his captains, and all his chariots with him. And he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites that encompassed him around, and the captains of the chariots.
10 Ko ia naʻe angatuʻu ʻae kakai ʻItomi mei he pule ʻo Siuta ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni. Pea naʻe angatuʻu ʻa Lipina foki ʻi he kuonga ko ia ki heʻene pule: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene liʻaki ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai.
So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time from under his hand because he had forsaken Jehovah, the God of his fathers.
11 Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo Siuta, mo ne pule ke fai feʻauaki ʻae kakai ʻo Selūsalema, ʻo ne fakamālohi ʻa Siuta ke fai ia.
Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot, and led Judah astray.
12 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae tohi kiate ia meia ʻIlaisa ko e palōfita, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo Tevita ko hoʻo tamai, Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te ke ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Sihosafate ko hoʻo tamai, pe ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta,
And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus says Jehovah, the God of David thy father, Because thou have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
13 Ka kuo ke ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, pea kuo ke fakaangahalaʻi ʻa Siuta mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema ke feʻauaki, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi feʻauaki ʻoe fale ʻo ʻEhapi, pea kuo ke tāmateʻi foki ʻa ho ngaahi kāinga ʻi he fale ʻo hoʻo tamai, ʻaia naʻe angalelei lahi hake ʻiate koe:
but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot, like the house of Ahab did, and also have slain thy brothers of thy father's house who were better than thyself,
14 Vakai, te u taaʻi ho kakai, ʻaki ʻae mamahi lahi, mo hoʻo ngaahi fānau, mo ho ngaahi uaifi, pea mo hoʻo ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē:
behold, Jehovah will smite thy people with a great plague, and thy sons, and thy wives, and all thy substance.
15 Pea ʻe ʻiate koe ʻae mahaki lahi ʻi he mahaki ʻi ho kete, pea ʻe mokulu kituʻa ʻa ho kete ko e meʻa ʻi he mahaki ʻi he ʻaho taki taha kotoa pē.
And thou shall have great sickness by disease of thy bowels until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day.
16 Pea naʻe langaʻi hake foki ʻe Sihova ʻae loto ʻoe kakai Filisitia, mo e kakai ʻAlepea, ʻakinautolu naʻe vāofi mo e kakai ʻItiopea, ke nau tau kia Siholami:
And Jehovah stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians.
17 Pea naʻa” nau ʻalu hake ki Siuta, pea naʻa nau ʻoho ki loto fonua ʻonau fetuku ʻo ʻave ʻae ngaahi koloa kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea mo hono ngaahi foha foki, mo hono ngaahi uaifi: ko ia naʻe ʻikai hano foha ʻe taha ʻe tuku kiate ia, ka ko Sihoaasi, ko e kimui ʻi hono ngaahi foha.
And they came up against Judah, and broke into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and his sons also, and his wives, so that there has not been left a son to him, except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
18 Pea hili ʻae meʻa ni kotoa pē naʻe taaʻi ia ʻe Sihova ʻi hono kete ʻaki ʻae mahaki taʻefaʻafakamoʻui.
And after all this Jehovah smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
19 Pea fai ai pe ʻo fuoloa pea hoko ʻo pehē, hili ʻae taʻu ʻe ua, naʻe mokulu hono ngākau kituʻa ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene mahaki: ko ia naʻe pekia ia ʻi he ngaahi mahaki lahi. Pea naʻe ʻikai ha tutu maʻana, ʻo hangē ko e tutu ki heʻene ngaahi tamai.
And it came to pass, in process of time, at the end of two years, that his bowels fell out because of his sickness, and he died of severe diseases. And his people made no burning for him like the burning of his fathers.
20 Ko e taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ia mo e taʻu ʻe ua hono motuʻa, ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe valu, pea naʻe ʻalu ia, pea naʻe ʻikai ha tokanga ki ai. Ka naʻa nau tanu ia ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita, ka naʻe ʻikai ʻi he ngaahi tanuʻanga ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi.
He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. And he departed without being wanted. And they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchers of the kings.
