2 Tuʻi 23

1 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi pea naʻa nau tānaki fakataha kiate ia ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo Siuta mo Selūsalema.

Then the King sent, and there gathered vnto him all the Elders of Iudah and of Ierusalem.

2 Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae tuʻi ki he fale ʻo Sihova fakataha mo e kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo Siuta mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻo Selūsalema, mo e kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau palōfita, mo e kakai kotoa pē, ʻae siʻi mo e lahi: pea naʻe lau ʻe ia ʻi honau telinga ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻae tohi ʻoe fuakava ʻaia kuo ʻilo ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.

And the King went vp into the house of the Lord, with all the men of Iudah and all the inhabitants of Ierusalem with him, and the Priests and Prophets, and all the people both small and great: and he reade in their eares all the wordes of the booke of the couenant, which was found in the house of the Lord.

3 Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻo ofi ki he pou ʻe taha, pea fai ʻe ia ʻae fuakava ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke muimui ʻia Sihova, pea ke tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau mo ʻene ngaahi fakamoʻoni, mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻaki hono loto kotoa, mo hono laumālie kotoa, ke fai ʻae ngaahi lea ʻae fuakava ni ʻaia kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ni. Pea naʻe fakamoʻoni ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki he fuakava.

And the King stood by the pillar, and made a couenant before the Lord, that they shoulde walke after the Lord, and keepe his commandements, and his testimonies, and his statutes with all their heart, and with all their soule, that they might accomplish the wordes of this couenant written in this booke. And all the people stood to the couenant.

4 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi kia Hilikia ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e kau taulaʻeiki ʻo hono ua ʻoe lakanga, mo e kau leʻo matapā, ke ʻomi kituʻa mei he fale tapu ʻo Sihova ʻae ngaahi ipu kotoa pē naʻe ngaohi maʻa Peali, pea maʻae vaoʻakau, pea maʻae ngaahi nāunau ʻoe langi: pea naʻa ne tutu ia ʻi tuaʻā ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he ngaahi ngoue ʻo Kitiloni, pea naʻa ne fetuku ʻa hono efuefu ʻo ia ki Peteli.

Then the King commanded Hilkiah the hie Priest and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the doore, to bring out of ye Temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the groue, and for all the hoste of heauen, and he burnt them without Ierusalem in the fieldes of Kedron, and caryed the pouder of them into Beth-el.

5 Pea naʻa ne fakangata ʻae kau taulatēvolo, ʻaia naʻe fakanofo ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ke tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, pea ʻi he ngaahi potu naʻe takatakai ki Selūsalema; ʻakinautolu foki naʻe tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala kia Peali, mo e laʻā, pea ki he māhina, pea ki he ngaahi fetuʻu, pea ki he nāunau kotoa pē ʻoe langi.

And he put downe the Chemarims, whom the Kings of Iudah had founded to burne incense in the hie places, and in the cities of Iudah, and about Ierusalem, and also them that burnt incense vnto Baal, to the sunne and to the moone, and to the planets, and to all the hoste of heauen.

6 Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae tamapua ʻoe vao tapu mei he fale ʻo Sihova, kituaʻā ʻi Selūsalema, ki he vaitafe ko Kitiloni, pea naʻe tutu ia ʻi he vaitafe ko Kitiloni, pea momosi ia ke efu, ʻo ne lī ʻae efu ʻo ia ki he ngaahi tanuʻanga ʻoe fānau ʻae kakai.

And he brought out the groue from the Temple of the Lord without Ierusalem vnto the valley of Kedron, and burnt it in the valley Kedron, and stampt it to pouder, and cast the dust thereof vpon the graues of the children of the people.

7 Pea naʻa ne holoki hifo ʻae ngaahi fale ʻoe kakai angafakasotoma, ʻaia naʻe ofi ki he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe fai ai ʻe he kau fefine ʻenau lalanga ʻae ngaahi puipui ki he vaotapu.

And hee brake downe the houses of the Sodomites, that were in the house of the Lord, where the women woue hangings for the groue.

8 Pea naʻa ne fetuku ʻae kau taulaʻeiki kotoa pē mei he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, pea ne ʻuliʻi ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻaia naʻe tutu ai ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae meʻa namu kakala, meia Kepa ʻo aʻu ki Peasipa, pea naʻe holoki hifo ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻoe ngaahi matapā ʻaia naʻe ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ʻo Siosiua ko e pule ʻoe kolo, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he nima toʻohema ʻo ha taha ʻi he matapā ʻoe kolo.

Also he brought all the priests out of the cities of Iudah, and defiled the hie places where the Priests had burnt incense, euen from Geba to Beer-sheba, and destroyed the hie places of the gates, that were in the entring in of the gate of Ioshua the gouernour of the citie, which was at the left hand of the gate of the citie.

9 Ka naʻe ʻikai ʻalu hake ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova ʻi Selūsalema, ka naʻa nau kai mā taʻefakalēvani fakataha mo honau ngaahi kāinga.

Neuerthelesse the Priests of the hie places came not vp to the altar of the Lord in Ierusalem, saue onely they did eate of the vnleauened bread among their brethren.

10 Pea naʻa ne fakaʻuliʻi ʻa Tofeti, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he teleʻa ʻae fānau ʻo Henomi, ke ʻoua naʻa fakalaka atu ʻe ha tangata ʻa hono foha pe ko hono ʻofefine, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe afi kia Moleki.

He defiled also Topheth, which was in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man shoulde make his sonne or his daughter passe through the fire to Molech.

11 Pea naʻa ne ʻave fanga hoosi ʻaia naʻe foaki ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta ki he laʻā ʻi he hūʻanga ki he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻo ofi ki he potu fale ʻo Natani-meleki koe tauhi fale, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he veʻe kolo, pea naʻa ne tutu ʻae ngaahi saliote ʻoe laʻā ʻaki ʻae afi.

He put downe also the horses that the Kings of Iudah had giuen to the sunne at the entring in of the house of the Lord, by the chamber of Nethan-melech the eunuche, which was ruler of the suburbes, and burnt the charets of the sunne with fire.

12 Pea ko e ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, naʻe ʻi he tuʻa fale ʻo ʻAhasi ʻi ʻolunga, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, mo e ngaahi feilaulauʻanga naʻe ngaohi ʻe Manase ʻi he lotoʻā ʻe ua ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, naʻe holoki hifo ia ʻe he tuʻi, pea fesiʻi hifo ia mei ai, pea naʻe lilingi ʻae efuefu ʻo ia ki he vaitafe ko Kitiloni.

And the altars that were on the top of the chamber of Ahaz, which the Kings of Iudah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord did the King breake downe, and hasted thence, and cast the dust of them in the brooke Kedron.

13 Mo e ngaahi potu māʻolunga naʻe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Selusalema, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe moʻunga ʻoe popo, ʻaia naʻe langa ʻe Solomone ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia ʻAsitelote ko e meʻa fakalielia ʻae kakai Saitoni, pea kia Kimosi koe meʻa fakalielia ʻae kakai Moape, pea kia Milikomi koe meʻa fakalielia ʻae fanau ʻa ʻAmoni, naʻe maumauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he tuʻi.

Moreouer the King defiled the hie places that were before Ierusalem and on the right hand of the mount of corruption (which Salomon the King of Israel had buylt for Ashtoreth the idole of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the idole of the Moabites, and for Milchom the abomination of the children of Ammon)

14 Pea naʻe fesifesiʻi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi tamapua, pea ne tā hifo ʻae ngaahi vao tapu, pea naʻe fakapito honau ngaahi potu ʻi he hui ʻoe kau tangata.

And he brake the images in pieces, and cut downe the groues and filled their places with the bones of men.

15 Pea ko e feilaulauʻanga foki naʻe ʻi Peteli mo e potu māʻolunga naʻe ngaohi ʻe Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, ʻaia naʻa ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli, ko e feilaulauʻanga mo e potu māʻolunga fakatouʻosi, naʻa ne holoki hifo, pea ne tutu ʻae potu māʻolunga, pea naʻe malakaki ia ke fakaikiiki mo efu pe, pea naʻe tutu mo e vao tapu.

Furthermore the altar that was at Beth-el, and the hie place made by Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, which made Israel to sinne, both this altar and also the hie place, brake he downe, and burnt the hie place, and stampt it to powder and burnt the groue.

16 Pea ʻi he tafoki ia ʻe Siosaia, naʻa ne sio ki he ngaahi tanuʻanga ʻaia naʻe ʻi he moʻunga, pea naʻa ne fekau atu ʻo hikitanga ʻae ngaahi hui mei he ngaahi tanuʻanga, pea ne tutu ia ki he feilaulauʻanga, pea naʻe maumau ia, ʻo fakatatau ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻe kalangaekina ʻe he tangata ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne kalangaʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni.

And as Iosiah turned himselfe, he spied the graues, that were in the mount, and sent and tooke the bones out of the graues, and burnt them vpon the altar and polluted it, according to the word of the Lord, that the man of God proclaimed, which cryed the same wordes.

17 Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā ʻae tohi fakaʻilonga ko ʻena ʻoku ou sio ki ai?” Pea naʻe tala kiate ia ʻe he kau tangata ʻoe kolo, “Ko e tanuʻanga ia ʻoe tangata ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe haʻu mei Siuta, ʻo ne kalangaekina ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻaia kuo ke fai ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻi Peteli.”

Then he sayde, What title is that which I see? And the men of the citie sayd vnto him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, which came from Iudah, and tolde these things that thou hast done to the altar of Beth-el.

18 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Tuku ai pe ia ke ʻoua naʻa hiki hono hui ʻe ha tokotaha.” Ko ia naʻa nau tuku ai pe hono ngaahi hui, fakataha mo e hui ʻoe palōfita naʻe haʻu mei Samēlia.

Then sayde he, Let him alone: let none remooue his bones. So his bones were saued with the bones of the Prophet that came from Samaria.

19 Pea ko e ngaahi fale foki ʻoe ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Samēlia, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ke fakatupu ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova, naʻe hiki ʻo ʻave ia ʻe Siosaia, pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ki ai ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai ʻi Peteli.

Iosiah also tooke away all the houses of the hie places, which were in the cities of Samaria, which the Kings of Israel had made to anger the Lord, and did to them according to all the factes that he had done in Beth-el.

20 Pea naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻae kau taula kotoa pē naʻe nofo ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga, ʻi he funga ʻoe ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, pea naʻa ne tutu ʻae hui ʻoe kakai ʻi ai, pea toe ʻalu ia ki Selūsalema.

And he sacrificed all the Priests of the hie places, that were there vpon the altars, and burnt mens bones vpon them, and returned to Ierusalem.

21 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ki he kakai kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “Mou fai ʻae kātoanga ʻoe Lakaatu kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ʻoe fuakava ni.

Then the king commanded all the people, saying, Keepe the passeouer vnto the Lord your God, as it is written in the booke of this couenant.

22 Ko e moʻoni naʻe ʻikai fai ha kātoanga ʻoe Lakaatu ke hangē ko ia talu mei he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe kau fakamaau naʻe fakamaauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli, pe ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, pe ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta;

And there was no Passeouer holden like that from the dayes of the Iudges that iudged Israel, nor in all the dayes of the Kinges of Israel, and of the Kings of Iudah.

23 Ka ʻi hono hongofulu ma valu taʻu ʻoe tuʻi ko Siosaia, ʻaia naʻe fai ai ʻae kātoanga ni ʻoe Lakaatu kia Sihova ʻi Selūsalema.”

And in the eightenth yere of King Iosiah was this Passeouer celebrated to the Lord in Ierusalem.

24 Pea naʻe ʻave foki ʻe Siosaia ʻakinautolu naʻe kau mo e kau laumālie kovi, mo e kau kikite loi, mo e ngaahi tamapua, mo e ngaahi ʻotua loi, mo e ngaahi meʻa kovi kotoa pē naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻi he fonua ʻo Siuta pea ʻi Selūsalema, koeʻuhi ke ne fai ki he ngaahi lea ʻae fono ʻaia naʻe tohi ʻi he tohi naʻe ʻilo ʻe Hilikia ko e taulaʻeiki ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.

Iosiah also tooke away them that had familiar spirits, and the soothsayers, and the images, and the idoles, and al the abominations that were espied in the lande of Iudah and in Ierusalem, to performe the wordes of the Lawe, which were written in the booke that Hilkiah the Priest found in the house of the Lord.

25 Pea naʻe ʻikai ha tuʻi ʻi muʻa ke hangē ko ia, ʻaia naʻe tafoki kia Sihova ʻaki hono loto kotoa, pea mo hono laumālie kātoa, pea mo ʻene mālohi kātoa, ʻo hangē ko e fono kotoa pē ʻa Mōsese; pea naʻe ʻikai tupu ha tokotaha ki mui ʻo hangē ko ia.

Like vnto him was there no King before him, that turned to the Lord with al his heart, and with all his soule, and with all his might according to all the Lawe of Moses, neither after him arose there anie like him.

26 Ka neongo ia naʻe ʻikai tafoki ʻa Sihova mei he kakaha ʻo hono houhau ʻaia naʻe tupu ai hono houhau ki Siuta, ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi ʻahiʻahi kovi ʻa Manase ʻaia naʻa ne fakahouhau ʻaki ia.

Notwithstanding the Lord turned not from the fiercenesse of his great wrath wherewith he was angrie against Iudah, because of all the prouocatios wherwith Manasseh had prouoked him.

27 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, “Te u hiki ʻa Siuta foki ke mamaʻo mei hoku ʻao, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku hiki ʻa ʻIsileli, pea te u liʻaki ʻae kolo ni ko Selūsalema ʻaia kuo u fili, pea mo e fale ʻaia naʻaku pehē ki ai, ʻE ʻi ai ʻa hoku huafa.”

Therefore the Lord saide, I will put Iudah also out of my sight, as I haue put away Israel, and will cast off this citie Ierusalem, which I haue chosen, and the house whereof I said, My name shalbe there.

28 Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Siosaia, mo ia kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe ia, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?

Concerning the rest of the actes of Iosiah, and all that hee did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?

29 ʻI hono ngaahi ʻaho ʻoʻona, naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻa Felo Niko ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite ki he vaitafe ko ʻIufaletesi ke tauʻi ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia: pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Siosaia ke tauʻi ia: pea naʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻi Mekito, ʻi heʻene mamata kiate ia.

In his dayes Pharaoh Nechoh King of Egypt went vp against the King of Asshur to the riuer Perath. And King Iosiah went against him, whome when Pharaoh sawe, he slewe him at Megiddo.

30 Pea naʻe ʻave ia, ka kuo pekia, ʻe heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi he saliote mei Mekito ki Selūsalema, pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi he tanuʻanga ʻoʻona. Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua ʻa Sihoaasi ko e foha ʻo Siosaia, ʻonau pani ia ʻaki ʻae lolo mo fakanofo ia ke tuʻi ko e fetongi ʻo ʻene tamai.

Then his seruants caryed him dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Ierusalem, and buried him in his owne sepulchre. And the people of the lande tooke Iehoahaz the sonne of Iosiah, and anointed him, and made him King in his fathers steade.

31 Naʻe uofulu ma tolu ʻae taʻu ʻo Sihoaasi ʻi heʻene kamata pule; pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he māhina ʻe tolu ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Hamutali, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Selemaia ʻo Lipina.

Iehoahaz was three and twentie yeere olde when he beganne to reigne, and reigned three moneths in Ierusalem. His mothers name also was Hamutal the daughter of Ieremiah of Libnah.

32 Pea naʻe fai kovi ʻe ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe heʻene ngaahi tamai.

And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.

33 Pea naʻe haʻi pōpula ia ʻe Felo Niko ʻi Lipila ʻi he fonua ko Hemati koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ne tuʻi ʻi Selūsalema; ʻo ne fakamoʻua ʻae fonua ki he tukuhau, ko e taleniti siliva ʻe teau, mo e taleniti koula ʻe taha.

And Pharaoh Nechoh put him in bondes at Riblah in the lande of Hamath, while he reigned in Ierusalem, and put the lande to a tribute of an hundreth talents of siluer, and a talent of golde.

34 Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Felo Niko ʻa Eliakimi ko e foha ʻo Siosaia ke tuʻi ia ko e fetongi ʻo ʻene tamai ko Siosaia, pea naʻa ne liliu hono hingoa ke [ui ia ]ko Sihoiakimi, ʻo ne ʻave ʻa Sihoaasi: pea naʻe hoko ia ki ʻIsipite pea pekia ia ʻi ai.

And Pharaoh Nechoh made Eliakim the sonne of Iosiah King in steade of Iosiah his father, and turned his name to Iehoiakim, and tooke Iehoahaz away, which when he came to Egypt, dyed there.

35 Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Sihoiakimi ʻae siliva mo e koula kia Felo; ka naʻa ne fai fono ki he fonua ke tuku mai ʻae ngaahi paʻanga ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Felo: naʻa ne pule ke ʻomi ʻae siliva mo e koula mei he kakai ʻoe fonua ko e ʻomi taki taha ʻo tatau mo ia naʻe lau kiate ia, ke ʻatu ia kia Felo Niko.

And Iehoiakim gaue the siluer and the golde to Pharaoh, and taxed the land to giue the money, according to the commadement of Pharaoh: he leuyed of euery man of the people of the lande, according to his value, siluer and golde to giue vnto Pharaoh Nechoh.

36 Naʻe uofulu ma nima taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo Sihoiakimi ʻi heʻene kamata ʻene pule: pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma taha ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Sipiuta, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Pitaia mei Luma.

Iehoiakim was fiue and twentie yere olde, when he began to reigne, and he reigned eleuen yeeres in Ierusalem. His mothers name also was Zebudah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.

37 Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe heʻene ngaahi tamai kotoa pē.

And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
