2 Tuʻi 3
1 Ko eni, naʻe kamata pule ki ʻIsileli ʻa Siholami ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi, ʻi Samēlia, ʻi hono hongofulu ma valu ʻoe taʻu ʻo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ua.
猶大王約沙法特十八年，阿哈布的兒子耶曷蘭在撒瑪黎雅登極作以色列王，在位凡十二年。
2 Pea naʻe fai kovi ʻe ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; ka naʻe ʻikai hangē ko ʻene tamai, pe hangē ko ʻene faʻē: he naʻa ne liʻaki ʻae meʻa fakatātā kia Peali ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe heʻene tamai.
他行了上主視為惡的事，不過還不像他的父親和母親那樣壞，因此他除去了他父親所立的巴耳神柱，
3 Ka neongo ia naʻa ne pikitai ki he ngaahi angahala ʻa Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, ʻaia naʻe fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli; naʻe ʻikai tafoki ia mei ai.
只是對乃巴特的兒子雅洛貝罕使以色列陷於罪過的事，仍戀戀不捨，從未脫離。
4 Pea ko Mesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Moape, ko e ʻeiki ia naʻe maʻu fanga sipi, pea naʻa ne tuku ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ha fanga lami ʻe taha kilu, mo e fanga sipitangata ʻe taha kilu, pea mo honau fulufulu.
摩阿布人默沙原是一個以畜牧為業的人，他經常以十萬隻羔羊和十萬隻公山羊毛，巷以色列王進貢；
5 Ka naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene pekia ʻa ʻEhapi, naʻe angatuʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻo Moape ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
但在阿哈布死後，摩阿布王便背叛了以色列王。
6 Pea ʻi he kuonga ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu mei Samēlia ʻae tuʻi ko Siholami, mo ne lau hake ʻa ʻIsileli kātoa.
那時，耶曷蘭王從撒瑪黎雅出來，檢閱全以色列人，
7 Pea naʻa ne ʻalu mo ne fekau kia Sihosafate, ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo pehē, “Kuo angatuʻu kiate au ʻae tuʻi ʻo Moape: te ke fie ʻalu mo au ki Moape ke fai ʻae tau pe ʻikai? Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe ia, Te u ʻalu hake pe; ʻoka kou hangē ko koe, ʻoku tatau ʻa hoku kakai mo ho kakai, pea tatau ʻa ʻeku fanga hoosi mo hoʻo fanga hoosi.”
以後派使者去見猶大王約沙法特說：「摩阿布王背叛了我，你願意同我一起去攻打摩阿布嗎﹖」約沙法特說：「願意去；你怎樣，我也怎樣；我的人民就如同是你的人民，我的馬就如同是你的馬。」
8 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Te ta ʻalu hake ʻi he hala fē? Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, ʻI he hala ʻoku ʻalu atu ʻi he toafa ʻo ʻItomi.”
約沙法特接著問說：「我們從哪條路上去﹖」耶曷蘭答說：「從厄東曠野那條路。」
9 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, mo e tuʻi ʻo Siuta pea mo e tuʻi ʻo ʻItomi: pea naʻa nau hala fakatakamilo hake ʻo fononga ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu: pea naʻe ʻikai ha vai mā ʻae kautau, pe ko e fanga manu naʻe muimui ʻiate kinautolu.
於是以色列王、猶大王和厄東王出發，繞道而行，七天以後，軍隊和隨行的一大隊牲畜沒有水喝。
10 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “ʻOiauē! ʻI he ui mai ʻe Sihova ke fakataha ʻae tuʻi ʻe toko tolu ni, ke tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo Moape!”
以色列王說：「哎! 上主召集這三個王子，原是將他們交在摩阿布手中啊! 」
11 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate, “ʻOku ʻikai ʻi heni ha palōfita ʻa Sihova, koeʻuhi ke tau fehuʻi ʻiate ia kia Sihova?” Pea naʻe tali ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo, pehē, “ʻOku ʻi heni ʻa ʻIlaisa ko e foha ʻo Safati, ʻaia naʻe lingi vai ki he nima ʻo ʻIlaisiā.”
約沙法特問說：「這裏有沒有一位上主的先知，我們可以託他求問上主﹖」以色列王的一個臣僕回答說：「這裏有沙法特的兒子厄里叟，就是常在厄里亞手上倒水的那一位。」
12 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate, “ʻOku ʻiate ia ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova.” Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hifo ai kiate ia ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, mo Sihosafate, pea mo e tuʻi ʻo ʻItomi.
約沙法特說：「他必有上主的話。」以色列王、約沙法特和厄東王，於是一同下去見他。
13 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “Ko e hā au kiate koe? Ke ke ʻalu ki he kau palōfita ʻo hoʻo tamai, pea ki he kau palōfita ʻo hoʻo faʻē.” Pea naʻe pehē kiate ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “ʻE ʻikai: he kuo ui ʻa Sihova ke fakataha mai ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ni ʻe toko tolu, koeʻuhi ke tuku ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo Moape.”
厄里叟對以色列王說：「我和你有什麼關係﹖你去找你父親和你母親的先知罷! 」以色列王說：「不要這樣說! 上主召集了這三個王子，原是要將他們交於摩阿布手中啊! 」
14 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi, ʻaia ʻoku ou tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao, pea ko e moʻoni, ka ne ʻoua ʻa ʻeku tokanga ki he ʻao ʻo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pehē, ʻe ʻikai te u hanga atu kiate koe, pe mamata kiate koe.
厄里叟說：「我指著我所服事的永生萬軍的上主起示：我如果不是為了猶大王約沙法特的情面，我決不看你，也不睬你。
15 Ka ko eni, ʻomi kiate au ha tangata ʻoku tā ha meʻa faiva.” Pea vakai ʻi heʻene tā ʻae hiva ʻe he tangata tā meʻa faiva, naʻe hoko mai ʻae nima ʻo Sihova kiate ia.
現在，你們給我叫一個彈琴的人來。」原來每逢樂師彈琴的時候，上主的手就臨到他身上。
16 Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Mou fakafonu ʻae teleʻa ni ʻi he ngaahi luo.
厄里叟說：「上主這樣說：你們在這山谷中遍挖壕溝，
17 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻE ʻikai te mou sio ki ha matangi, pe mamata ki ha ʻuha; ka neongo ia, ʻe pito ʻae teleʻa ni ʻi he vai, koeʻuhi ke mou inu, ʻio ʻakimoutolu, pea mo hoʻomou fanga pulu, pea mo hoʻomou fanga manu.
因為上主這樣說：你們不見風，也不見雨，這山谷中卻要充滿了水，使你們、你們的軍隊和牲畜都有水喝。
18 Pea ko e meʻa maʻamaʻa eni ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: te ne tuku mai foki ʻae kakai Moape ki homou nima.
這在上主看來還是小事，他還要將摩阿布交在你們手中，
19 Pea te mou teʻia ʻae kolo kotoa pē kuo tanu puke, mo e kolo lelei kotoa pē, pea te mou tā hifo ʻae ʻakau lelei kotoa pē, mo punusi ʻae vaikeli kotoa pē, mo maumau ʻaki ʻae maka ʻae potu fonua lelei kotoa pē.”
使你們攻破所有設防的城市，砍倒所有的好樹，杜塞所有的水泉，用石頭毀壞所有的良田。」
20 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi heʻene pongipongi, lolotonga ʻae ʻohake ʻae feilaulau meʻakai, vakai, naʻe tafe mai ʻae vai mei he hala ki ʻItomi, pea naʻe fonu ʻae fonua ʻi he vai.
果然，早上正獻祭的時候，從厄東方面來了大水，遍地滿了水。
21 Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe he kakai Moape kotoa pē, ki he ʻalu hake ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ke tauʻi ʻakinautolu, naʻa nau tānaki mai ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe faʻa fua ʻae mahafutau, ʻo fai hake, ʻonau tutuʻu ʻi he ngataʻanga [fonua].
全摩阿布人一聽說三個王子前來進攻，就召集了所有能佩帶武器的人，把守邊界。
22 Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻi he pongipongi, pea naʻe ulo ʻae laʻā ki he funga vai, pea naʻe mamata ʻe he kakai Moape ki he vai mei he potu ʻe taha, ʻoku kulokula ʻae vai ʻo hangē ko e toto:
第二天早晨，日光照在水上，摩阿布人起來，看見對面的水紅得像血，
23 Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e toto eni tā ko e moʻoni kuo fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi tuʻi, pea kuo nau fetāmateʻaki ʻakinautolu: ko ia foki, ʻakimoutolu Moape, ke tau ʻalu atu ki he vete.”
遂說：「這是血! 一定是那三個王子彼此混戰，互相殘殺。摩阿布，起來，前去奪取財物! 」
24 Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko mai ki he ʻapitanga tau ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kakai ʻIsileli ʻonau teʻia ʻae kau Moape, pea naʻa nau hola mei honau ʻao: ka naʻa nau muimui atu ʻi he teʻia ʻae kakai Moape, ʻi honau fonua ʻonautolu.
及至他們到了以色列營地，以色列人即奮起迎敵，摩阿布人從他們面前逃走，他們就乘勢追趕，擊殺摩阿布人，
25 Pea naʻa nau fakalala ʻae ngaahi kolo, pea ʻilonga ʻae konga fonua kotoa pē naʻe lelei, naʻe lī ki ai ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻa ʻene maka, ke fonu ai ia; pea naʻa nau punusi ʻae ngaahi vaikeli kotoa pē, mo nau tā hifo ʻae ngaahi ʻakau lelei kotoa pē: ko Kili-Halaseti pe naʻa nau tuku ai hono ngaahi maka ʻo ia; ka naʻe nofo tākai ki ai ʻae kau tangata makatā, mo nau kapasia ia.
破壞了他們的城市，個個用石頭拋滿了他們的良田，杜塞了所有的水泉，砍倒了各種好樹；只剩下克爾赫勒斯城，拋石頭的人仍包圍攻擊那城。
26 Pea ʻi heʻene mamata ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Moape, kuo mālohi fau ʻae tau kiate ia, naʻa ne ʻave mo ia ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fitungeau naʻe toʻo heletā, ke nau ʻoho atu ke lava ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻItomi: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau mafai.
摩阿布王見戰事激烈，難以敵抗，就帶領七百人，手持刀劍，企圖突圍，往投阿蘭王，卻沒有成功；
27 Pea naʻa ne toki toʻo ʻa hono ʻuluaki foha ʻaia naʻe tonu ke hoko mo ia ki he pule, mo ne feilaulau ʻaki ia ko e feilaulau tutu ʻi he funga ʻā. Pea naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae ʻita ki ʻIsileli: pea naʻa nau liʻaki ia mo nau foki atu ki honau fonua.
於是將那要繼承自己位的長子叫來，在城牆上祭殺了，作為全燔祭。這事使天主向以色列人大發忿怒；他們便離開摩阿布王，各自回了本地。
