2 Meʻa Hokohoko 22
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.
AND the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead: for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. 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.
Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also 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 the house of Ahab: for his mother was his counseller to do 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.
Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the Lord like the house of Ahab: for they were his counsellers 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 walked also after 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 smote 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.
And he returned to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds which were given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab at 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.
And the destruction of Ahaziah was of God by coming to Joram: for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
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.
And it came to pass, that, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, that ministered to Ahaziah, he slew 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.
And he sought Ahaziah: and they caught him, (for he was hid in Samaria, ) and brought him to Jehu: and when they had slain him, they buried him: Because, said they, he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the Lord with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still 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.
But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal 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 daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king’s sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. 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 slew him not.
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.
And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.
