2 Meʻa Hokohoko 36
1 Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua ʻa Sihoaasi ko e foha ʻo Sosaia, ʻo fakanofo ia ko e tuʻi ko e fetongi ʻo ʻene tamai ʻi Selūsalema.
Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and they anointed him and made him king in his father's place in Jerusalem.
2 Naʻe uofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe tolu ʻae motuʻa ʻo Sihoaasi ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he māhina ʻe tolu ʻi Selūsalema.
Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
3 Pea naʻe liua ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite ʻi Selūsalema, ʻo ne pule ke totongi ʻe he fonua ʻaki ʻae taleniti koula ʻe taha.
The king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
4 Pea ne fakanofo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite hono tokoua ke tuʻi ia ki Siuta mo Selūsalema, ʻo ne liua hono hingoa ko Sihoiakimi. Pea naʻe puke ʻe Niko ʻa hono tokoua ko Sihoaasi ʻo fetuku ia ki ʻIsipite.
The king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
5 Naʻe uofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe nima ʻae motuʻa ʻo Sihoiakimi ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma taha ʻi Selūsalema: pea naʻe fai kovi ʻe ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtua.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH his God.
6 Pea naʻe haʻu ke tauʻi ia ʻa Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea naʻa ne haʻi ia ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa haʻi ke fetuku ia ki Papilone.
Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
7 Pea naʻe fetuku foki ʻe Nepukanesa ʻae ngaahi ipu ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova ki Papilone, ʻo tuku ia ki hono fale tapu ʻi Papilone.
Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of YHWH to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
8 Pea ko eni ko hono toe ʻoe ngāue ʻa Sihoiakimi, mo ʻene fakalielia naʻa ne fai, mo ia naʻe ʻilo ʻiate ia, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli mo Siuta: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Sihoiakini ko hono foha.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
9 Naʻe valu taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo Sihoiakini ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he māhina ʻe tolu mo e ʻaho ʻe hongofulu ʻi Selūsalema: pea naʻe fai kovi ʻe ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH.
10 Pea ʻi he hili ʻae taʻu, naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ko Nepukanesa, pea naʻe ʻomi ia ki Papilone, fakataha mo e ngaahi ipu matamatalelei ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe fakanofo ʻa Setikia ko hono tokoua ke ne tuʻi ki Siuta mo Selūsalema.
At the return of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of YHWH, and made Zedekiah his relative king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Naʻe uofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe taha ʻae motuʻa ʻo Setikia ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma taha ʻi Selūsalema.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem:
12 Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ko hono ʻOtua, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne fakavaivai ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Selemaia ko e palōfita, naʻe lea mei he fofonga ʻo Sihova.
and he did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH his God; he did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of YHWH.
13 Pea naʻe angatuʻu ia foki ki he tuʻi ko Nepukanesa, ʻaia naʻa ne fakafuakavaʻi ia ki he ʻOtua: ka naʻa ne fakakekeva hono kia, pea fakafefeka ki hono loto ʻi he taʻefietafoki kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
He also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to YHWH, the God of Israel.
14 Pea naʻe fai hala foki ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi kotoa pē, mo e kakai, ʻo fai hala lahi ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi angakovi ʻae hiteni: ʻonau fakahalaʻi ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻi Selūsalema ʻaia naʻa ne fakatapui.
Moreover all the chiefs of the priests, and the people, trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted the house of YHWH which he had made holy in Jerusalem.
15 Pea naʻe kouna kiate kinautolu ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai ʻene kau talafekau, naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake, pea fekau: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene angaʻofa ki hono kakai, pea ki hono potu nofoʻanga:
YHWH, the God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending, because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:
16 Ka naʻa nau manuki ki he kau talafekau ʻae ʻOtua, pea taʻetokanga ki heʻene ngaahi lea, mo fai kovi ki heʻene kau palōfita, pea naʻe tupu ai ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova ki hono kakai, pea naʻe ʻikai ha fakamoʻui.
but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of YHWH arose against his people, until there was no remedy.
17 Ko ia naʻa ne ʻomi ai kiate kinautolu ʻae tuʻi ʻoe kakai Kalitia, ʻaia naʻe tāmateʻi ʻenau kau talavou ʻaki ʻae heletā ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau fakatahaʻanga, pea naʻe ʻikai ha ʻofa ki ha talavou pe ki ha taʻahine, ʻae tangata motuʻa, pe ko ia ʻoku mapelu ʻi he motuʻa lahi: naʻa ne tuku ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ki hono nima.
Therefore he brought on them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or gray-headed: he gave them all into his hand.
18 Pea mo e ngaahi ipu kotoa pē ʻoe fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻae lahi mo e siʻi, mo e ngaahi koloa ʻae fale ʻo Sihova, mo e ngaahi koloa ʻae tuʻi, mo e [koloa ]ʻa hono houʻeiki: pea naʻe ʻomi ia kotoa pē ki Papilone.
All the vessels of God's house, great and small, and the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the king, and of his officials, all these he brought to Babylon.
19 Pea naʻa nau tutu ʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua pea holoki hifo ʻae ʻā maka ʻo Selūsalema, pea naʻe tutu hono ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo ia ʻaki ʻae afi, pea maumau ʻae ngaahi nāunau matamatalelei kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai.
They burnt God's house, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels of it.
20 Pea ko kinautolu naʻe hao mei he heletā naʻa ne fetuku ʻakinautolu ki Papilone: ʻaia naʻa nau nofo ai ko e kau tamaioʻeiki kiate ia pea ki hono ngaahi foha ʻo aʻu ki he pule ʻae puleʻanga ʻo Peasia:
He carried those who had escaped from the sword away to Babylon; and they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:
21 Ke fakamoʻoni ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻi he ngutu ʻo Selemaia, “Ke ʻoua ke maʻu fiemālie pe ʻe he fonua hono ngaahi ʻaho tapu: he koeʻuhi ʻi heʻene nofo lala pe naʻa ne maʻu ʻae ʻaho tapu ke fakakakato ʻae taʻu ʻe fitungofulu.”
to fulfill the word of YHWH by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. As long as it lay desolate it kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.
22 Pea ko eni ʻi he ʻuluaki taʻu ʻo Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia, ke fakatonutonu ai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻi he ngutu ʻo Selemaia, naʻe langaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae laumālie ʻo Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia, koeʻuhi ke fanongonongo ʻae fono ʻi hono puleʻanga kotoa pē, pea ke ʻai ia ʻi he tohi foki, ʻo pehē,
Now in the first year of Koresh king of Persia, that the word of YHWH by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, YHWH stirred up the spirit of Koresh king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
23 ʻOku pehē ʻe Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia, “Kuo tuku ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe langi, ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani kiate au: pea kuo ne fekau kiate au ke u langa ʻae fale moʻona ʻi Selūsalema ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Siuta. Ko hai ia ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻo hono kakai? Ke ʻiate ia ʻa Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, pea tuku ke ʻalu hake ia.”
"Thus says Koresh king of Persia, 'YHWH, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, YHWH his God be with him, and let him go up.'"
