1 Pea naʻe fakanofo ʻe he kakai ʻo Selūsalema ʻa ʻAhasia ko hono foha ki mui ke tuʻi ko hono fetongi: he ko e kau tangata naʻe haʻu mo e kau ʻAlepea ki he ʻapitanga naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻae ngaahi taʻokete kotoa pē. Ko ia, naʻe pule ʻa ʻAhasia ko e foha ʻo Siholami ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta.
The inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his place, because the band of men who came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the oldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
2 Naʻe uofulu ma ua taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo ʻAhasia ʻi heʻene hoko ʻo pule, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi he taʻu pe taha ʻi Selūsalema. Ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko ʻAtalia ko e ʻofefine ʻo Omili.
Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
3 Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻoe fale ʻo ʻEhapi: he naʻe akonakiʻi ia ʻe heʻene faʻē ke fai angakovi.
He also walked in the ways of Ahab’s house, because his mother was his counselor in acting wickedly.
4 Ko ia naʻa ne fai angakovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻo hangē ko e fale ʻo ʻEhapi: he ko ʻene kau akonaki ʻakinautolu hili ʻae mate ʻa ʻene tamai, ke malaʻia ai ia.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as did Ahab’s house, for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction.
5 Pea naʻe ʻalu ia foki ʻo muimui ki heʻenau fakakaukau, pea ʻalu ia mo Siholami ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ki he tau ke tauʻi ʻa Hasaeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia ki Lemoti-Kiliati: pea naʻe fakakafo ʻa Solami ʻe he kakai Silia.
He also followed their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
6 Pea naʻe liliu mai ia ki Sesilili ke faitoʻo ki hono ngaahi kafo ʻaia naʻa ne lavea ai ʻi Lama ʻi heʻene tauʻi ʻa Hasaeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia. Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ki Sesilili ʻa ʻAsalia ko e foha ʻo Siholami ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ke vakai ʻa Siholami ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi koeʻuhi naʻe mahaki ia.
He returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. Azariah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
7 Pea ko e fakamalaʻia ʻo ʻAhasia naʻe mei he ʻOtua ʻi [heʻene ]hoko kia Solami: koeʻuhi ʻi heʻene hoko ange, naʻe ʻalu kituaʻā ia fakataha mo Siholami ke tauʻi ʻa Sehu ko e foha ʻo Nimisi, ʻaia naʻe pani ʻaki ʻae lolo ʻe Sihova ke ne motuhi ʻae fale ʻo ʻEhapi.
Now the destruction of Ahaziah was of God, in that he went to Joram; for when he had come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off Ahab’s house.
8 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, koeʻuhi ʻi he fai ʻe Sehu ʻene tautea ki he faʻahinga ʻo ʻEhapi, ʻo ne ʻilo ʻae ngaahi houʻeiki ʻo Siuta, mo e ngaahi kāinga ʻo ʻAhasia, ʻakinautolu naʻe tauhi ʻa ʻAhasia, naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu.
When Jehu was executing judgment on Ahab’s house, he found the princes of Judah and the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah serving Ahaziah, and killed them.
9 Pea naʻa ne kumi ʻa ʻAhasia: pea naʻa nau puke ia, (he naʻe fufū ia ʻi Samēlia) ʻo ʻomi ia kia Sehu: pea hili ʻenau tāmateʻi ia, naʻa nau tanu ia: he naʻa nau pehē, Ko e foha ia ʻo Sihosafate, ʻaia naʻe kumi kia Sihova ʻaki hono loto kotoa. Ko ia naʻe ʻikai ha mālohi ʻi he fale ʻo ʻEhapi, ke puke maʻu ʻae puleʻanga.
He sought Ahaziah, and they caught him (now he was hiding in Samaria), and they brought him to Jehu and killed him; and they buried him, for they said, “He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.” The house of Ahaziah had no power to hold the kingdom.
10 Pea ʻi he vakai ʻe ʻAtalia ko e faʻē ʻa ʻAhasia kuo mate ʻene tama, naʻe tuʻu hake ia ʻo ne tāmateʻi ʻae hako kotoa pē ʻoe hau ʻi he fale ʻo Siuta.
Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal offspring of the house of Judah.
11 Ka ko Sihosapeati ko e ʻofefine ʻoe tuʻi, naʻa ne toʻo ʻa Soasi ko e foha ʻo ʻAhasia, ʻo ne kaihaʻasi ia mei he ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi ʻaia naʻe tāmateʻi, pea tuku ia mo ʻene fefine tauhi ʻi ha fale mohe. Ko ia naʻe fufū ia ʻe Sihosapeati ko e ʻofefine ʻoe tuʻi, ko e uaifi ʻo Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeiki, (he ko e tuofefine ia ʻo ʻAhasia, ) meia ʻAtalia, ko ia naʻe ʻikai te ne tāmateʻi ia.
But Jehoshabeath, the king’s daughter, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stealthily rescued him from among the king’s sons who were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah, so that she did not kill him.
12 Pea naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ia ʻo fufū ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he taʻu ʻe ono: pea naʻe pule ʻa ʻAtalia ki he fonua.
He was with them hidden in God’s house six years while Athaliah reigned over the land.
