2 Meʻa Hokohoko 21
1Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David, and Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
1PEA naʻe mohe ʻa Sihosafate mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe tanu ia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he kolo ʻa Tevita. Pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Siholami ko hono foha.
2He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah; all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
2Pea naʻe ʻiate ia hono ngaahi kāinga ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Sihosafate, ko ʻAsalia, mo Sehieli, mo Sakalia, mo ʻAsalia, mo Mikaeli, mo Sifatia: ko kinautolu ni ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
3Their father gave them great gifts of silver, gold, and valuable possessions, together with fortified cities in Judah, but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn.
3Pea naʻe foaki kiate kinautolu ʻe heʻenau tamai ʻae ngaahi foaki lahi ʻoe siliva mo e koula, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga lahi, mo e ngaahi kolotau ʻi Siuta: ka naʻa ne foaki ʻae puleʻanga kia Siholami: he ko e ʻuluaki tupu ia.
4When Jehoram had ascended the throne of his father and was established, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and also some of the princes of Israel.
4Pea ʻi he hoko ʻa Siholami ki he puleʻanga ʻo ʻene tamai, naʻa ne fakamālohi ia: pea ne tāmateʻi hono ngaahi kāinga ʻaki ʻae heletā, mo e houʻeiki niʻihi ʻo ʻIsileli foki.
5Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
5Naʻe tolungofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe ua ʻae motuʻa ʻo Siholami ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ʻe ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe valu ʻi Selūsalema.
6And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab had done, for the daughter of Ahab was his wife. And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD.
6Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻi he hala ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe he fale ʻo ʻEhapi: he naʻa ne fakamaʻu ʻunoho mo e ʻofefine ʻo ʻEhapi: pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻaia naʻe kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
7Yet the LORD was not willing to destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and since he had promised to give a lamp to him and to his sons forever.
7Ka ko e moʻoni naʻe ʻikai fie fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova ʻae fale ʻo Tevita, ko e meʻa ʻi he fuakava naʻa ne fai mo Tevita, pea mo ʻene talaʻofa ke foaki ʻae maama kiate ia pea ki hono ngaahi foha ʻo taʻengata.
8In his days Edom revolted from the rule of Judah and set up a king of their own.
8naʻe angatuʻu ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho ʻae kakai ʻItomi ki he puleʻanga ʻo Siuta, pea naʻa nau fakanofo honau tuʻi ʻonautolu.
9Then Jehoram passed over with his commanders and all his chariots, and he rose by night and struck the Edomites who had surrounded him and his chariot commanders.
9Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Siholami mo ʻene ngaahi houʻeiki, mo ʻene ngaahi saliote kotoa pē: pea tuʻu hake ia ʻi he poʻuli, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻae kakai ʻItomi naʻe nofo takatakai ʻiate ia, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki pule ʻoe ngaahi saliote.
10So Edom revolted from the rule of Judah to this day. At that time Libnah also revolted from his rule, because he had forsaken the LORD, the God of his fathers.
10Ko ia naʻe angatuʻu ʻae kakai ʻItomi mei he pule ʻo Siuta ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni. Pea naʻe angatuʻu ʻa Lipina foki ʻi he kuonga ko ia ki heʻene pule: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene liʻaki ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai.
11Moreover, he made high places in the hill country of Judah and led the inhabitants of Jerusalem into whoredom and made Judah go astray.
11Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo Siuta, mo ne pule ke fai feʻauaki ʻae kakai ʻo Selūsalema, ʻo ne fakamālohi ʻa Siuta ke fai ia.
12And a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, “Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father, ‘Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, or in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
12Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae tohi kiate ia meia ʻIlaisa ko e palōfita, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo Tevita ko hoʻo tamai, Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te ke ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Sihosafate ko hoʻo tamai, pe ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta,
13but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel and have enticed Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem into whoredom, as the house of Ahab led Israel into whoredom, and also you have killed your brothers, of your father’s house, who were better than yourself,
13Ka kuo ke ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, pea kuo ke fakaangahalaʻi ʻa Siuta mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema ke feʻauaki, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi feʻauaki ʻoe fale ʻo ʻEhapi, pea kuo ke tāmateʻi foki ʻa ho ngaahi kāinga ʻi he fale ʻo hoʻo tamai, ʻaia naʻe angalelei lahi hake ʻiate koe:
14behold, the LORD will bring a great plague on your people, your children, your wives, and all your possessions,
14Vakai, teu taaʻi ho kakai, ʻaki ʻae mamahi lahi, mo hoʻo ngaahi fānau, mo ho ngaahi ʻunoho, pea mo hoʻo ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē:
15and you yourself will have a severe sickness with a disease of your bowels, until your bowels come out because of the disease, day by day.’”
15Pea ʻe ʻiate koe ʻae mahaki lahi ʻi he mahaki ʻi ho kete, pea ʻe mokulu kituʻa ʻa ho kete ko e meʻa ʻi he mahaki ʻi he ʻaho taki taha kotoa pē.
16And the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the anger of the Philistines and of the Arabians who are near the Ethiopians.
16Pea naʻe langaʻi hake foki ʻe Sihova ʻae loto ʻoe kakai Filisitia, mo e kakai ʻAlepea, ʻakinautolu naʻe vāofi mo e kakai ʻItiopea, ke nau tau kia Siholami:
17And they came up against Judah and invaded it and carried away all the possessions they found that belonged to the king’s house, and also his sons and his wives, so that no son was left to him except Jehoahaz, his youngest son.
17Pea naʻa” nau ʻalu hake ki Siuta, pea naʻa nau ʻoho ki loto fonua ʻonau fetuku ʻo ʻave ʻae ngaahi koloa kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea mo hono ngaahi foha foki, mo hono ngaahi ʻunoho: ko ia naʻe ʻikai hano foha ʻe taha ʻe tuku kiate ia, ka ko Sihoaasi, ko e kimui ʻi hono ngaahi foha.
18And after all this the LORD struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
18Pea hili ʻae meʻa ni kotoa pē naʻe taaʻi ia ʻe Sihova ʻi hono kete ʻaki ʻae mahaki taʻefaʻafakamoʻui.
19In the course of time, at the end of two years, his bowels came out because of the disease, and he died in great agony. His people made no fire in his honor, like the fires made for his fathers.
19Pea fai ai pe ʻo fuoloa pea hoko ʻo pehē, hili ʻae taʻu ʻe ua, naʻe mokulu hono ngākau kituʻa ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene mahaki: ko ia naʻe pekia ia ʻi he ngaahi mahaki lahi. Pea naʻe ʻikai ha tutu maʻana, ʻo hangē ko e tutu ki heʻene ngaahi tamai.
20He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he departed with no one’s regret. They buried him in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
20Ko e taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ia mo e taʻu ʻe ua hono motuʻa, ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe valu, pea naʻe ʻalu ia, pea naʻe ʻikai ha tokanga ki ai. Ka naʻa nau tanu ia ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita, ka naʻe ʻikai ʻi he ngaahi tanuʻanga ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi.
