1 Tuʻi 22
1For three years Syria and Israel continued without war.
1PEA naʻa nau nofo pe ʻo tolu taʻu mo e taʻefai ha tau ʻe Silia mo ʻIsileli.
2But in the third year Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
2Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki hono tolu ʻoe taʻu, naʻe hoko hifo ʻa Sihosafate ko e tuʻi Siuta ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
3And the king of Israel said to his servants, “Do you know that Ramoth-gilead belongs to us, and we keep quiet and do not take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?”
3Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻoku ʻotautolu ʻa Lemoti ʻi Kiliati, ka ʻoku tau nofo noa pe, mo taʻetoʻoa mai ia mei he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Silia?”
4And he said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to battle at Ramoth-gilead?” And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.”
4Pea naʻa ne pehē kia Sihosafate, “Te ke fie ʻalu mo au ki he tau ki Lemoti-Kiliati?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “ʻOku ou hangē ko koe, mo ʻeku kakai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo kakai, mo ʻeku fanga hoosi ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fanga hoosi.”
5And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Inquire first for the word of the LORD.”
5Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “ʻOku ou kole, ke ke fakafehuʻi he ʻaho ni ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.”
6Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, “Shall I go to battle against Ramoth-gilead, or shall I refrain?” And they said, “Go up, for the Lord will give it into the hand of the king.”
6Pea naʻe toki tānaki mai fakataha ʻae kau tangata kikite ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e kau tangata ʻe toko fāngeau nai, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Te u ʻalu atu ke tauʻi ʻa Lemoti-Kiliati pe ʻikai?” Pea naʻa nau pehē, “ʻAlu hake; he koeʻuhi ʻe tuku mai ia ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi.”
7But Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here another prophet of the LORD of whom we may inquire?”
7Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate, “ʻIkai ʻoku ʻi heni ha palōfita foki ʻa Sihova, koeʻuhi ke tau fehuʻi meiate ia?”
8And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD, Micaiah the son of Imlah, but I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me, but evil.” And Jehoshaphat said, “Let not the king say so.”
8Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia Sihosafate, “ʻOku ai mo e tangata ʻe tokotaha, ko Mikaia ko e foha ʻo Imila, ʻaia te tau faʻa fehuʻi ai kia Sihova: ka ʻoku ou fehiʻa kiate ia; he ʻoku ʻikai faʻa kikite ʻaki ʻe ia ha lelei kiate au, ka ko e kovi.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate, “Ke ʻoua naʻa lea pehē ʻe he tuʻi.”
9Then the king of Israel summoned an officer and said, “Bring quickly Micaiah the son of Imlah.”
9Pea naʻe toki ui mai ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ha matāpule, ʻo ne pehē, “Omi ke vave ʻa Mikaia ko e foha ʻo Imila.”
10Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting on their thrones, arrayed in their robes, at the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
10Pea naʻe nofo ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, mo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, taki taha ki hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi, pea kuo na ʻai hona ngaahi kofu fakatuʻi, ʻi he potu ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matanikolo ʻo Samēlia; pea naʻe kikite ʻi hona ʻao ʻae kau kikite kotoa pē.
11And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made for himself horns of iron and said, “Thus says the LORD, ‘With these you shall push the Syrians until they are destroyed.’”
11Pea naʻe ngaohi maʻana ʻe Setikia ko e foha ʻo Kinana, ʻae ngaahi nifo ukamea: pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Ko eni ia te ke tekeʻi ʻaki ʻae kakai Silia, kaeʻoua ke fakaʻauha kinautolu.’|”
12And all the prophets prophesied so and said, “Go up to Ramoth-gilead and triumph; the LORD will give it into the hand of the king.”
12Pea naʻe pehē pe ʻae kikite ʻae kau kikite kotoa pē, ʻo nau pehē, “ʻAlu hake ki Lemoti-Kiliati, pea mou monūʻia: koeʻuhi ʻe tuku ia ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi.”
13And the messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, “Behold, the words of the prophets with one accord are favorable to the king. Let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak favorably.”
13Pea naʻe lea kia Mikaia ʻe he talafekau naʻe ʻalu ke ui kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Vakai mai, ʻOku ngutu taha pe ʻae kau kikite ʻi he lea ʻaki ʻae lelei ki he tuʻi: ko ia ʻoku ou kole ke ke tuku hoʻo lea ke tatau mo e lea ʻa ha taha ʻiate kinautolu, pea ke lea ʻaki ʻae lelei.”
14But Micaiah said, “As the LORD lives, what the LORD says to me, that I will speak.”
14Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mikaia, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea ko ia ʻoku folofolaʻaki kiate au ʻe Sihova, ko ia pe te u leaʻaki.
15And when he had come to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we refrain?” And he answered him, “Go up and triumph; the LORD will give it into the hand of the king.”
15Pea naʻe haʻu ia ki he tuʻi. Pea naʻe pehē kiate ia ʻe he tuʻi, “ʻE Mikaia, te ma ʻalu hake ke tauʻi ʻa Lemoti-Kiliati, pe ʻikai?” Pea naʻa ne tali ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu, pea mo monūʻia: koeʻuhi ʻe tuku mai ia ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi.”
16But the king said to him, “How many times shall I make you swear that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of the LORD?”
16Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “ʻE tuʻo fiha ʻa ʻeku takitalaʻi koe ke ʻoua naʻa ke fakahā mai ha meʻa ka ko ia pe ʻoku moʻoni ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova?”
17And he said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And the LORD said, ‘These have no master; let each return to his home in peace.’”
17Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Naʻaku mamata ki he fakamovetevete ʻo ʻIsileli kātoa ʻi he ngaahi funga moʻunga, ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi ʻoku ʻikai hanau tauhi: pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻeiki kiate kinautolu ni: tuku ke nau taki taha ʻalu ʻae tangata ki hono fale ʻi he melino.
18And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?”
18Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia Sihosafate, ʻIkai naʻaku tala kiate koe, ʻe ʻikai te ne kikite ʻaki ha lelei kiate au, ka ko e kovi?”
19And Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing beside him on his right hand and on his left;
19Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Ko ia foki, fanongo koe ki he folofola ʻa Sihova: naʻaku mamata ki he ʻafio ʻa Sihova ki hono ʻafioʻanga, pea mo e tutuʻu ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu mo hono nima toʻohema ʻae ngaahi tokolahi kotoa pē ʻoe langi.
20and the LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’And one said one thing, and another said another.
20Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Ko hai te ne fakalotoʻi ʻa ʻEhapi ke ne ʻalu hake mo hinga ʻi Lemoti-Kiliati?’ Pea naʻe pehē ʻae lea ʻae tokotaha, kae pehē ʻe he tokotaha kehe.
21Then a spirit came forward and stood before the LORD, saying, ‘I will entice him.’
21Pea naʻe hū mai ha laumālie, ʻo ne tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Te u fakalotoʻi ia ʻeau.’
22And the LORD said to him, ‘By what means?’And he said, ‘I will go out, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’And he said, ‘You are to entice him, and you shall succeed; go out and do so.’
22Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, ‘ʻO fēfeeʻi?’ Pea naʻa ne pehē, ‘Te u ʻalu atu, pea teu hoko ko e laumālie loi ʻi he ngutu ʻo ʻene kau kikite kotoa pē.’ Pea naʻa ne pehē, ‘Te ke fakalotoʻi ia, pea te ke lavaʻi foki: ʻalu atu, mo ke fai pehē.’|”
23Now therefore behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; the LORD has declared disaster for you.”
23Pea ko ia foki, “Vakai, kuo ʻai ʻe Sihova ha laumālie loi ki he ngutu ʻoe kau tangata kikite na ʻoʻou, pea kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻae kovi kiate koe.”
24Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek and said, “How did the Spirit of the LORD go from me to speak to you?”
24Ka naʻe ʻalu atu ke ofi ʻa Setikia ko e foha ʻo Kinana, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻa Mikaia ʻi hono kouʻahe, mo ne pehē, “Naʻe ʻalu ʻi he hala fē ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova meiate au ke lea kiate koe?”
25And Micaiah said, “Behold, you shall see on that day when you go into an inner chamber to hide yourself.”
25Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mikaia, “Vakai, te ke toki mamata ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻaia te ke hū atu ai ki he ngaahi loki ke fakafufū koe.”
26And the king of Israel said, “Seize Micaiah, and take him back to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son,
26Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “Puke ʻa Mikaia, pea toe ʻave ia kia ʻAmoni ko e pule ʻoe kolo, pea kia Soasi ko e foha ʻoe tuʻi;
27and say, ‘Thus says the king, “Put this fellow in prison and feed him meager rations of bread and water, until I come in peace.”’”
27Pea fakahā ange, ʻOku pehē ʻe he tuʻi, ʻAi ʻae siana ni ki he fale pōpula, pea fafangaʻaki ia ʻae mā ʻoe fakamamahi mo e vai ʻoe fakamamahi ʻo aʻu ki heʻeku toe haʻu ʻi he melino.”
28And Micaiah said, “If you return in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me.” And he said, “Hear, all you peoples!”
28Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mikaia, “Kapau te ke toe foki mai ʻi he melino, tā kuo ʻikai folofola ʻa Sihova ʻiate au.” Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Mou fanongo kotoa pē, ʻakimoutolu ko e kakai.”
29So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
29Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, mo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ki Lemoti-Kiliati.
30And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you wear your robes.” And the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.
30Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ki Sihosafate, Te u fakapulipuli au, ʻi heʻeku hū atu ki he tau; ka ke ʻai ʻe koe ʻaho ngaahi kofu fakatuʻi. Pea naʻe fakapulipuli ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ka ka ʻalu atu ki he tau.
31Now the king of Syria had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, “Fight with neither small nor great, but only with the king of Israel.”
31Ka naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Silia ki heʻene ʻeiki ʻe toko tolungofulu ma ua naʻe pule ki heʻene ngaahi saliote ʻo pehē, ʻOua naʻa mo tau mo ia: pea naʻe ʻoku siʻi pe ʻoku lahi, ka ko e tuʻi pe ʻo ʻIsileli.
32And when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “It is surely the king of Israel.” So they turned to fight against him. And Jehoshaphat cried out.
32Pea ʻi he mamata ē ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi saliote kia Sihosafate, naʻa nau pehē, ko eni moʻoni ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli. Pea naʻa nau foki atu ke tau mo ia: pea naʻe kalanga atu ʻa Sihosafate.
33And when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
33Pea ʻi he mamata ʻe he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi saliote naʻe ʻikai ko e tuʻi ia ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻa nau foki atu mei heʻenau tuli kiate ia.
34But a certain man drew his bow at random and struck the king of Israel between the scale armor and the breastplate. Therefore he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around and carry me out of the battle, for I am wounded.”
34Pea naʻe teke noa pe ʻe ha tangata ʻae kaufana, pea naʻe fanaʻi ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he vahaʻa hokoʻanga ʻo ʻene mahafutau: ko ia naʻa ne pehē ai ki he tangata naʻe fakahinoʻi ʻa ʻene saliote, “Fakatafoki atu ho nima,” pea ke ʻave au mei he tau: he kuo u lavea.
35And the battle continued that day, and the king was propped up in his chariot facing the Syrians, until at evening he died. And the blood of the wound flowed into the bottom of the chariot.
35Pea naʻe tupu ʻo lahi ʻae tau ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: pea naʻe poupou hake ʻae tuʻi ʻi hono saliote ke tauʻi ʻae kakai Silia, pea naʻe pekia ia ʻi he efiafi: pea naʻe tafe ʻae toto mei he matalavea ki he loto saliote.
36And about sunset a cry went through the army, “Every man to his city, and every man to his country!”
36Pea feʻunga mo e tō hifo ʻae laʻā, naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae fanongonongo ki he kautau, ʻo pehē, “Ke ʻalu ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono kolo, mo e tangata taki taha ki hono fonua ʻoʻona.”
37So the king died, and was brought to Samaria. And they buried the king in Samaria.
37Naʻe pehē ʻae pekia ʻae tuʻi, pea naʻe ʻomi ia ki Samēlia: pea naʻa nau fai ʻae putu ʻoe tuʻi ʻi Samēlia.
38And they washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria, and the dogs licked up his blood, and the prostitutes washed themselves in it, according to the word of the LORD that he had spoken.
38Pea naʻe fufulu ʻae saliote ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi he vaikeli ʻo Samēlia; pea naʻe ʻemo hake ʻe he fanga kulī ʻa hono toto pea naʻa nau fufulu ʻa ʻene mahafutau ʻo fakatatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki.
39Now the rest of the acts of Ahab and all that he did, and the ivory house that he built and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
39Pea ko eni, ko e toenga ngāue ʻa ʻEhapi, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, mo e fale lei naʻa ne ngaohi, mo e ngaahi kolo kotoa pē naʻa ne langa, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?
40So Ahab slept with his fathers, and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
40Ko ia, naʻe mohe ʻa ʻEhapi mo ʻene ngaahi tamai; pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko ʻAhasia.
41Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
41Pea naʻe kamata pule ʻa Sihosafate ko e foha ʻo ʻAsa ki Siuta ʻi hono fā ʻoe taʻu ʻo ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
42Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
42Naʻe tolungofulu ma nima ʻae taʻu ʻo Sihosafate ʻi heʻene kamata pule; pea naʻa ne pule ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu ma nima. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko ʻAsupa ko e ʻofefine ʻo Sili.
43He walked in all the way of Asa his father. He did not turn aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of the LORD. Yet the high places were not taken away, and the people still sacrificed and made offerings on the high places.
43Pea naʻa ne ʻeveʻeva ʻi he hala kotoa pē ʻo ʻene tamai ko ʻAsa; naʻe ʻikai te ne tafoki mei ai, ʻo ne fai ʻaia naʻe lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: ka neongo ia naʻe ʻikai ʻave ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga; naʻe kei fai feilaulau mo tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻe he kakai ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga.
44Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.
44Pea naʻe alea ʻa Sihosafate mo e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ke na melino pe.
45Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he warred, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
45Pea ko eni, ko e toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sihosafate, mo e mālohi naʻe hā ʻiate ia, mo ʻene faʻa tau, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?
46And from the land he exterminated the remnant of the male cult prostitutes who remained in the days of his father Asa.
46Pea ko e toenga kakai angafakasotoma ʻaia naʻe toe ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻene tamai ko ʻAsa, naʻa ne ʻave mei he fonua.
47There was no king in Edom; a deputy was king.
47ʻI he kuonga ko ia naʻe ʻikai ha tuʻi ʻi ʻItomi: ka naʻe pule ha tokotaha maʻae tuʻi.
48Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, but they did not go, for the ships were wrecked at Ezion-geber.
48Naʻe maʻu ʻe Sihosafate ʻae ngaahi vaka mei Tasisi ke folau ki Ofeli ke ʻomi koula; ka naʻe ʻikai hoko ʻae folau; he naʻe maumauʻi ʻae ngaahi vaka ʻi Esioni-Kepa.
49Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships,” but Jehoshaphat was not willing.
49Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe ʻAhasia ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi kia Sihosafate, Tuku ke ʻalu ʻa ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki fakataha mo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi he folau. Ka naʻe ʻikai loto ki ai ʻa Sihosafate.
50And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father, and Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
50Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Sihosafate mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe fai hono putu ki he potu ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita ko ʻene tamai: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Siholami ko hono foha.
51Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned two years over Israel.
51Naʻe kamata pule ʻa ʻAhasia ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi ki ʻIsileli ʻi Samēlia ʻi hono hongofulu ma fitu ʻoe taʻu ʻo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe ua ʻi ʻIsileli.
52He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of his father and in the way of his mother and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
52Pea naʻa ne fai kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, mo ne ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻo ʻene tamai mo e hala ʻo ʻene faʻē, pea ʻi he hala ʻo Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, ʻaia naʻa ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli:
53He served Baal and worshiped him and provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger in every way that his father had done.
53He naʻa ne tauhi kia Peali, mo ne lotu kiate ia, mo ne fakatupu ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe heʻene tamai.
