2 Meʻa Hokohoko 24

1 Naʻe fitu taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo Soasi ʻi heʻene kamata ʻene pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Sipia mei Peasipa.

2 Pea naʻe fai ʻe Soasi ʻaia naʻe lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeiki.

3 Pea naʻe ʻomi moʻona ʻe Sihoiata ʻae uaifi ʻe ua: pea naʻe tupu ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine.

4 Pea hili ʻae meʻa ni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe loto ʻa Soasi ke teuteuʻi foʻou ʻae fale ʻo Sihova.

5 Pea naʻa ne tānaki fakataha ʻae kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻAlu kituaʻā ki he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, pea tānaki ʻae paʻanga mei ʻIsileli kotoa pē ke ngaohi ʻo fakalelei ai ʻae fale ʻo homou ʻOtua ʻi he taʻu tuku fakaholo, pea vakai ʻo fakavavevave ia. Ka naʻe ʻikai fakavavevave ia ʻe he kau Livai.

6 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ke haʻu ʻa Sihoiata ko e tuʻukimuʻa, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai te ke fekau ki he kau Livai ke fetuku mei Siuta mo Selūsalema ʻae koloa tānaki, ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova, pea mo e fakataha kātoa ʻo ʻIsileli, maʻae fale nofoʻanga ʻoe fakamoʻoni?”

7 He ko e ngaahi tama ʻae fefine angakovi ko ia, ko ʻAtalia, naʻa nau maumauʻi ʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua: pea ko e ngaahi meʻa fakatapui foki ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova naʻa nau foaki kia Peali.

8 Pea ʻi he fekau ʻae tuʻi naʻa nau ngaohi ʻae puha, ʻonau tuku ia ʻituʻa ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova,

9 Pea naʻa nau fai ʻae fono ki Siuta kotoa pē mo Selūsalema, ke ʻomi kia Sihova ʻae koloa tukuhau ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻOtua ki ʻIsileli ʻi he toafa:

10 Pea naʻe fiefia ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē mo e kakai kotoa pē, ʻonau ʻomi ki loto ʻosi ki he puha, ʻonau fai ai pe ke ʻosi.

11 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻilonga ʻae ʻaho naʻe ʻomi ai ʻae puha ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi ʻi he nima ʻoe kau Livai, pea nau mamata ʻoku lahi ʻae paʻanga, naʻe haʻu ai ʻae tangata tohi ʻae tuʻi mo e matāpule ʻoe taulaʻeiki lahi pea lilingi ke maha ʻae puha, pea naʻe ʻave ia, ʻo haʻamo ki hono potu. Naʻe pehē ʻenau hokohoko fai ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, pea naʻe tānaki ʻae paʻanga lahi ʻaupito.

12 Pea naʻe ʻatu ia ʻe he tuʻi mo Sihoiata kiate kinautolu naʻe fai ʻae ngāue ʻi he ngāue ki he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻonau totongi ki he kau tufunga maka, mo e kau tufunga ʻakau ke fakalelei ʻae fale ʻo Sihova, pea mo e niʻihi foki naʻe ngāue ʻi he ukamea mo e palasa ke ngaohi ke lelei ʻae fale ʻo Sihova.

13 Ko ia naʻe ngāue ʻae kau tangata ngāue, pea naʻe fakaʻosi lelei ʻae ngāue ʻekinautolu, pea naʻa nau teuʻi ʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi hono anga ʻo ia, pea fakamālohiʻi ia.

14 Pea hili ʻa hono fakaʻosi, naʻa nau ʻomi hono toe ʻoe paʻanga ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi mo Sihoiata, pea naʻe ngaohi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi ipu ki he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻio ʻoe ngaahi ipu ke ngāueʻaki, pea ke fai ʻi ai ʻae ʻatu [meʻa], mo e ngaahi sēpuni, mo e ngaahi ipu koula mo e siliva. Pea naʻa nau ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu maʻuaipē ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo Sihoiata.

15 Ka naʻe fakaʻaʻau ʻo motuʻa ʻa Sihoiata, pea naʻe lahi hono ʻaho ʻi heʻene pekia: ko e taʻu ʻe teau ma tolungofulu hono motuʻa pea ne toki pekia.

16 Pea naʻa nau tanu ia ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita fakataha mo e ngaahi tuʻi, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fai lelei ʻi ʻIsileli, ki he ʻOtua, pea ki hono fale.

17 Pea hili ʻae pekia ʻa Sihoiata naʻe haʻu ʻae houʻeiki ʻo Siuta, ʻonau fai ʻae hū ki he tuʻi. Pea naʻe tokanga ʻae tuʻi kiate kinautolu.

18 Pea naʻa nau liʻaki ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ke tauhi ʻae ngaahi vaotapu mo e ngaahi ʻotua loi: pea naʻe hoko ai ʻae houhau ki Siuta mo Selūsalema, ʻi heʻenau angahala ni.

19 Ka naʻa ne fekau ʻae kau palōfita kiate kinautolu, ke toe ʻomi ʻakinautolu kia Sihova: pea naʻa nau lea valoki kiate kinautolu: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau loto ke tokanga ki ai.

20 Pea naʻe hoko ʻae Laumālie ʻae ʻOtua kia Sakalia ko e foha ʻo Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeiki, pea tuʻu ki ʻolunga ia ʻi he kakai, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻe he ʻOtua, Koeʻumaʻā hoʻomou fai talangataʻa ki he ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou faʻa monūʻia? Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou liʻaki ʻa Sihova, kuo ne liʻaki ai ʻakimoutolu foki.”

21 Pea naʻa nau alea fakataha ʻo tuʻu kiate ia ʻo tolongaki ia ʻaki ʻae maka ʻi he fekau ʻae tuʻi, ʻi he lotoʻā ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.

22 Ko ia naʻe ʻikai manatuʻi ʻe he tuʻi ko Soasi ki he angalelei ʻaia naʻe fai ʻe Sihoiata kiate ia, ka naʻa ne tāmateʻi hono foha. Pea ʻi heʻene pekia, naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ke ʻafio ki ai ʻa Sihova, pea totongi ki ai.”

23 Pea ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻoe taʻu naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe haʻu ʻae tau mei Silia ke tauʻi ia: pea naʻa nau ʻomi ki Siuta mo Selūsalema, ʻonau tāmateʻi ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē mei he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai, ʻonau foaki ʻae koloa vete kotoa pē ʻanautolu ki he tuʻi ʻo Tamasikusi.

24 He naʻe haʻu ʻae tau ʻae kakai Silia mo e kau tangata tau tokosiʻi, pea naʻe tuku ʻe Sihova ʻae fuʻu tau lahi ki honau nima, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau liʻaki ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai. Naʻe pehē ʻenau fai ʻae tautea kia Soasi.

25 Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu ʻiate ia, (he naʻa nau tuku ia kuo ne mahaki lahi, ) naʻe lapasi ia ʻe heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki koeʻuhi ko e toto ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeiki, ʻonau tāmateʻi ia ʻi hono mohenga, pea naʻe pekia ia: pea naʻa nau tanu ia ʻi he kolo ʻa Tevita, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau tanu ia ʻi he faʻitoka ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi.

26 Pea ko kinautolu eni, naʻe fai ʻae lapa kiate ia: ko Sapati ko e tama ʻa Simiati ko e fefine ʻAmoni, mo Sihosapati ko e tama ʻa Similiti ko e fefine Moape.

27 Pea ko e meʻa ki hono ngaahi foha, mo hono lahi ʻoe ngaahi kavenga [naʻe hili ]kiate ia, mo hono fakalelei ʻoe fale ʻoe ʻOtua, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi. Pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe ʻAmasia ko hono foha.
