2 Tuʻi 18

1 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi hono tolu taʻu ʻo Hosea ko e foha ʻo Ela ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻe kamata pule ʻa Hesekaia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhasi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta.

2 Naʻe uofulu ma nima ʻa ʻene taʻu ʻi heʻene kamata pule: pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu ma hiva ʻi Selūsalema. Ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē foki ko ʻApi, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Sakalia.

3 Pea naʻe fai lelei ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe Tevita ko ʻene tamai.

4 Naʻa ne fakalala ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga, pea fesiʻi hifo ʻae ngaahi tamapua, pea ne tā hifo ʻae ngaahi vao tapu, pea naʻa ne fesifesi ke iiki ʻae ngata palasa ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Mōsese: he naʻe tutu ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki ai ʻo aʻu ki he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia: pea naʻa ne ui ia ko Nehusitani.

5 Naʻe falala ia kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; ko ia naʻe ʻikai tatau mo ia ha tokotaha ki mui ʻi he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, pe ha tokotaha naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻiate ia.

6 He naʻe pikitai ia kia Sihova, pea ʻikai liʻaki ʻene muimui ʻiate ia, ka naʻa ne tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau, ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese.

7 Pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻa Sihova; pea naʻe monūʻia ia ʻi he potu kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu ia ki ai: pea naʻa ne liʻaki ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻo ʻikai tauhi ki ai

8 Naʻa ne taaʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia, ʻo aʻu atu ki Kesa, mo hono ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo ia mei he fale māʻolunga ʻae kau leʻo ʻo aʻu ki he kolotau.

9 Pea ʻi hono fā ʻoe taʻu ʻoe tuʻi ko Hesekaia, ʻaia ko hono fitu taʻu ʻo Hosea ko e foha ʻo Ela ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe haʻu ai ʻa Salimanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ki Samēlia, mo ne kapui ia ʻaki ʻae tau.

10 Pea ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻoe taʻu ʻe tolu naʻa nau kapasia ia. ʻI hono ono taʻu ʻo Hesekaia, ʻaia ko hono hiva ʻo Hosea ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻe kapa ʻa Samēlia.

11 Pea naʻe fetuku ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ki ʻAsilia, ʻo ne tuku ʻakinautolu ʻi Hala mo Hapoa, ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ʻo Kosani, pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻoe kakai Mitia.

12 Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te nau talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, ka naʻa nau talangataʻa ki heʻene fuakava, mo ia kotoa pē naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova, pea ʻikai tokanga ki ai pe fai ki ai.

13 ʻI hono hongofulu ma fā ʻoe taʻu ʻoe tuʻi ko Hesekaia naʻe haʻu ai ʻa Senakalipe ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ke tauʻi ʻae ngaahi kolo tau kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, pea naʻa ne lavaʻi ʻakinautolu.

14 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Hesekaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ʻi Lakisi, ʻo pehē, “Kuo u fai hala; ke ke liliu meiate au: ko ia ʻoku ke tala kiate au te u kātaki.” Pea naʻe ʻeke ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia meia Hesekaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ʻae taleniti siliva ʻe tolungeau mo e taleniti koula ʻe tolungofulu.

15 Pea naʻe ʻatu kiate ia ʻe Hesekaia ʻae siliva kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, pea ʻi he ngaahi tukuʻanga koloa ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi.

16 ‌ʻI he kuonga ko ia naʻe tutuʻu ai ʻe Hesekaia [ʻae koula ]mei he ngaahi matapā ʻoe faletapu ʻo Sihova, pea mei he ngaahi pou ʻaia naʻe ʻaofi ʻe Hesekaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo ne ʻatu ia ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia.

17 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ʻa ʻAlatani mo Lapisalisi mo Lapisake mei Lakisi ki he tuʻi ko Hesekaia, mo e fuʻu tau lahi ke tauʻi ʻa Selūsalema. Pea naʻa nau ʻalu hake ʻo hoko ki Selūsalema. Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu hake naʻa nau tuʻu ofi ki he tafeʻanga vai ʻoe vai ʻi ʻolunga, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he hala motuʻa ʻoe ngoue ʻoe tufunga fakamaʻa kofu.

18 Pea hili ʻenau ui ki he tuʻi, naʻe haʻu kituʻa kiate kinautolu ʻa Iliakimi ko e foha ʻo Hilikia, ʻaia naʻe pule ki he fale, mo Sepina ko e tangata tohi, mo Soa ko e foha ʻo ʻAsafi ko e tangata naʻe tohi ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakapuleʻanga.

19 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Lapisake kiate kinautolu, “Ko eni ke mou lea kia Hesekaia, ʻOku pehē ʻe he tuʻi lahi, ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, Ko e hā ʻae mālohi ni ʻaia ʻoku ke falala ki ai?”

20 ‌ʻOku ke pehē, (ka ko e lea launoa pe) “ʻOku ʻiate au ʻae fakakaukau mo e mālohi ki he tau. Pea ko eni, ko hai ia ʻoku ke falala ki ai, kuo ke angatuʻu ai kiate au?

21 Pea ko eni, vakai, ʻoku ke falala ki ho tokotoko ʻoe kaho mafesi ni, ʻio, ko ʻIsipite, ʻaia kapau ʻe faʻaki ki ai ha tangata, ʻe ʻasi ia ki hono nima, pea ʻe lavea ai: ʻoku pehē pe ʻa Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku falala kiate ia.

22 Pea kapau ʻoku mou pehē kiate au, ʻoku mau falala kia Sihova ko homau ʻOtua: ʻikai ko ia ia ko e ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻoʻona mo hono ngaahi feilaulauʻanga kuo ʻave ʻe Hesekaia ʻo liʻaki, pea kuo ne tala kia Siuta mo Selūsalema, Ke lotu ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ko eni ʻi Selūsalema?

23 Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, tuku mai ʻae ngaahi fakamoʻoni ki heʻeku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, pea te u ʻatu kiate koe ʻae fanga hoosi ʻe ua afe, ʻo kapau te ke faʻa fai ʻe koe ke fakaheka ki ai ʻae kau heka hoosi.

24 Pea ʻe fēfeeʻi hao faʻa fai ke fakafoki ʻae mata ʻoe ʻeikitau ʻe tokotaha, ko e siʻi hifo taha pe ʻi he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki, ka ke falala koe ki ʻIsipite ki he ngaahi saliote mo e kau tangata heka hoosi?

25 He kuo u hoko mai ni ʻo taʻekau mo Sihova ke fakaʻauha ʻae potu ni? Naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, ‘ʻAlu hake ʻo tauʻi ʻae fonua ni, pea fakaʻauha ia.’”

26 Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe Iliakimi ko e foha ʻo Hilikia, mo Sepina, mo Soa, kia Lapisake, “Ke ke lea mai ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi he lea fakaSilia; he ʻoku mau ʻilo ia: kaeʻoua naʻa ke talanoa kiate kimautolu ʻi he lea ʻae kakai Siu ʻi he telinga ʻoe kakai ʻoku nofo ʻi he funga ʻā.”

27 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Lapisake, kiate kinautolu, “He naʻe fekau au ʻe heʻeku ʻeiki ki hoʻo ʻeiki, pea kiate koe, ke lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni? ʻIkai ko ʻene fekau au ki he kau tangata ʻaia ʻoku heheka ki he ʻā maka, koeʻuhi ke nau kai ʻenau kinohaʻa ʻanautolu, mo inu ʻenau tuʻutata?”

28 Pea naʻe tuʻu ai ʻa Lapisake, pea ne kalanga leʻo lahi ʻi he lea fakaSiu, mo ne lea, ʻo pehē, “Mou tokanga ki he lea ʻae tuʻi lahi, ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia:

29 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe he tuʻi, ʻoua naʻa fakahalaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Hesekaia: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ne mafai ʻe ia ke fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu mei hono nima:

30 Pea ʻoua naʻa ueʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Hesekaia ke mou falala kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e moʻoni ʻe fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu ʻe Sihova, pea ʻe ʻikai tukuange ʻae kolo ni ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia.’

31 ‌ʻOua naʻa mou tokanga kia Hesekaia he ʻoku pehē ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, Fai hoʻo fakalelei kiate au ʻaki ha meʻaʻofa, pea haʻu kituʻa kiate au, pea te mou toki kai taki taha ʻae tangata ʻae vaine ʻaʻana, pea taki taha ʻi he fiki ʻaʻana, pea mou inu taki taha kotoa pē ʻi he ngaahi vai ʻo ʻene vaikeli ʻaʻana:

32 Kaeʻoua ke u toki haʻu ʻo ʻave ʻakimoutolu ki ha fonua ʻoku hangē ko homou fonua, ko e fonua ʻoe uite mo e uaine, ko e fonua ʻoe mā mo e ngoue vaine, ko e fonua ʻoe lolo ʻolive mo e honi, koeʻuhi ke mou moʻui, ka ʻe ʻikai mate: pea ʻoua naʻa mou tokanga kia Hesekaia, ʻi heʻene kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu ʻe Sihova.’

33 He ʻoku ai ha tokotaha ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga kuo nau fakamoʻui hono fonua mei he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia?

34 Ko fāʻa ia ʻae ngaahi ʻotua ʻo Hemati, mo ʻApati? Ko fāʻa ia ʻae ngaahi ʻotua ʻo Sifaveimi, mo Hena, mo Iva? He kuo nau fakamoʻui ʻa Samēlia mei hoku nima?”

35 Ko hai ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe ngaahi fonua, ʻa ia kuo nau fakamoʻui honau fonua mei hoku nima, ke pehē ai ʻe fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻa Selusalema mei hoku nima?

36 Ka naʻe longo pe ʻae kakai, pea naʻe ʻikai tali ia ʻaki ha momoʻi lea: he naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa tali ia.”

37 Pea naʻe toki haʻu ʻa Iliakimi ko e foha ʻo Hilikia ʻaia naʻe pule ki he fale, mo Sepina ko e fai tohi, mo Soa ko e foha ʻo ʻAsafi ko e tangata naʻe tohi ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakapuleʻanga, kia Hesekaia kuo haehae honau kofu, pea naʻa nau tala kiate ia ʻae ngaahi lea ʻa Lapisake.
