2 Tuʻi 1
1After the death of Ahab, Moab rebelled against Israel.
1ʻI HE hili ʻae pekia ʻa ʻEhapi, naʻe angatuʻu ʻa Moape ki ʻIsileli.
2Now Ahaziah fell through the lattice in his upper chamber in Samaria, and lay sick; so he sent messengers, telling them, “Go, inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from this sickness.”
2Pea naʻe tō hifo ʻa ʻAhasia mei he kātupa ʻi hono potu fale ki ʻolunga ʻaia naʻe ʻi Samēlia, pea ne mahakiʻia ai: pea naʻa ne kouna atu ha kau talafekau, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou ʻalu ʻo fakafehuʻi kia Peali-Sepupi ko e ʻotua ʻo Ekiloni, pea te u moʻui mei he mahaki ni pe ʻikai.”
3But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?
3Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻo Sihova kia ʻIlaisiā ko e tangata Tisipa, “Tuʻu hake, mo ke ʻalu hake ke fetaulaki mo e kau talafekau ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Samēlia, pea ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻOtua ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻoku mou ʻalu ai ke fehuʻi kia Peali-Sepupi ko e ʻotua ʻo Ekiloni?’
4Now therefore thus says the LORD, You shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die.’” So Elijah went.
4Ko ia foki ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova, ‘ʻE ʻikai te ke ʻalu hifo mei he mohenga kuo ke ʻalu hake ki ai, ka te ke mate moʻoni.’|” Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻIlaisiā.
5The messengers returned to the king, and he said to them, “Why have you returned?”
5Pea ʻi he liliu atu kiate ia ʻae kau talafekau, naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā eni kuo mou foki ai?”
6And they said to him, “There came a man to meet us, and said to us, ‘Go back to the king who sent you, and say to him, Thus says the LORD, Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die.’”
6Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Naʻe ai ha tangata naʻe fakafetaulaki mai kiate kimautolu pea naʻa ne pehē kiate kimautolu, ‘Mou ʻalu, ʻo toe foki atu ki he tuʻi ʻaia naʻa ne fekauʻi kimoutolu, pea tala kiate ia, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻOku ʻikai ʻapē ha ʻOtua ʻi ʻIsileli kuo ke fekau ai ke fehuʻi kia Peali-Sepupi ko e ʻotua ʻo Ekiloni? Ko ia ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻalu hifo mei he mohenga kuo ke ʻalu hake ki ai, ka te ke mate moʻoni.’|”
7He said to them, “What kind of man was he who came to meet you and told you these things?”
7Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Naʻe matamata fēfē ʻae tangata ʻaia naʻa ne fakafetaulaki mai kiate kimoutolu, mo ne leaʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni kiate kimoutolu?”
8They answered him, “He wore a garment of hair, with a belt of leather about his waist.” And he said, “It is Elijah the Tishbite.”
8Pea naʻa nau pehēange, “Ko e tangata fulufulu ia, pea naʻe nonoʻo ʻaki ʻae noʻotanga kiliʻi manu ʻi hono kongaloto.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Tā ko ʻIlaisiā ko e tangata Tisipa.”
9Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty men with his fifty. He went up to Elijah, who was sitting on the top of a hill, and said to him, “O man of God, the king says, ‘Come down.’”
9Pea naʻe toki fekau atu kiate ia ʻe he tuʻi ha ʻeiki naʻe pule ki he toko nimangofulu mo ʻene toko nimangofulu. Pea naʻa ne ʻalu hake kiate ia: pea vakai, naʻa ne nofo ʻi he tumutumu ʻo ha moʻunga. Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻA koe ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, kuo pehē ʻe he tuʻi, ‘Ke ke ʻalu hifo.’|”
10But Elijah answered the captain of fifty, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty.” Then fire came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.
10Pea naʻe tali ʻe ʻIlaisiā ʻo pehēange ki he ʻeiki ʻoe toko nimangofulu, “Kapau ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua au, tuku ke tō hifo ha afi mei he langi, ke ʻauha ai koe mo hoʻo toko nimangofulu.” Pea naʻe tō hifo ʻae afi mei he langi, pea ne fakaʻauha ia pea mo ʻene toko nimangofulu.
11Again the king sent to him another captain of fifty men with his fifty. And he answered and said to him, “O man of God, this is the king’s order, ‘Come down quickly!’”
11Pea naʻa ne toe fekau atu kiate ia ha ʻeiki kehe ʻe tokotaha mo ʻene toko nimangofulu, Pea naʻa ne pehēange kiate ia, “ʻE tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, kuo pehē mai ʻe he tuʻi, ‘Ke ke ʻalu hifo ke vave.’|”
12But Elijah answered them, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty.” Then the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.
12Pea naʻe tali ʻe ʻIlaisiā ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Kapau ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua au, tuku ke tō hifo ha afi mei he langi, ke ʻauha ai koe mo hoʻo toko nimangofulu.” Pea naʻe tō hifo ʻae afi mei he ʻOtua mei he langi, pea ne fakaʻauha ia pea mo ʻene toko nimangofulu.
13Again the king sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up and came and fell on his knees before Elijah and entreated him, “O man of God, please let my life, and the life of these fifty servants of yours, be precious in your sight.
13Pea naʻa ne toe fekau atu ha ʻeiki mo hono tolu ʻoe toko nimangofulu, ʻaia mo ʻene toko nimangofulu. Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa hono toko tolu ʻoe ʻeiki naʻe pule ki he toko nimangofulu, pea naʻa ne hoko ange mo ne tō ʻo tūʻulutui ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIlaisiā, mo ne kole kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “ʻE tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke mahuʻinga ʻi ho ʻao ʻa ʻeku moʻui, pea mo e moʻui ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ni ʻe toko nimangofulu.
14Behold, fire came down from heaven and consumed the two former captains of fifty men with their fifties, but now let my life be precious in your sight.”
14Vakai, naʻe ʻalu hifo mei he langi ʻae afi, pea vela ai ʻo ʻosi ʻae ongo ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi muʻaki toko nimangofulu, pea mo ʻena toko nimangofulu: ko ia tuku eni ke mahuʻinga ʻa ʻeku moʻui ʻi ho ʻao.”
15Then the angel of the LORD said to Elijah, “Go down with him; do not be afraid of him.” So he arose and went down with him to the king
15Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻo Sihova kia ʻIlaisiā, “Ke ke ʻalu hifo mo ia: ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē kiate ia.” Pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake, mo ne ʻalu hifo mo ia ki he tuʻi.
16and said to him, “Thus says the LORD, ‘Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron—is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word?—therefore you shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die.’”
16Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Koeʻuhi kuo ke fekau atu ha kau talafekau ke fakafehuʻi kia Peali-Sepupi ko e ʻotua ʻo Ekiloni, ko e meʻa ʻapē ʻi he ʻikai ha ʻOtua ʻi ʻIsileli ke ke fakaongo ki heʻene folofola? Ko ia ʻe ʻikai ai te ke toe ʻalu hifo mei he mohenga na ʻaia kuo ke ʻalu hake ki ai, ka te ke mate moʻoni.’|”
17So he died according to the word of the LORD that Elijah had spoken. Jehoram became king in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, because Ahaziah had no son.
17Ko ia, naʻe mate ia ʻo fakatatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ʻIlaisiā. Pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Siholami, ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo Siholami ko e foha ʻo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta; koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai hano foha.
18Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
18Pea ko eni, ko e toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa ʻAhasia ʻaia naʻa ne fai, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?
