2 Tuʻi 16

1In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, Ahaz the son of Jotham, king of Judah, began to reign.

1‌ʻI HONO hongofulu ma fitu ʻoe taʻu ʻo Peka ko e foha ʻo Limalia naʻe kamata pule ʻa ʻAhasi ko e foha ʻo Sotami ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta.

2Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And he did not do what was right in the eyes of the LORD his God, as his father David had done,

2Naʻe uofulu taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻa ʻAhasi ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ono ʻi Selūsalema, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne faitotonu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, ke hangē ko Tevita ko ʻene tamai.

3but he walked in the way of the kings of Israel. He even burned his son as an offering, according to the despicable practices of the nations whom the LORD drove out before the people of Israel.

3Ka naʻa ne ʻeveʻeva ʻi he hala ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻio, naʻa ne puleʻi ke ʻalu atu ʻa hono foha ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe afi, ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi ngāue fakalielia ʻae kakai hiteni, ʻakinautolu naʻe kapusi atu ʻe Sihova mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

4And he sacrificed and made offerings on the high places and on the hills and under every green tree.

4Pea naʻa ne fai feilaulau mo tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga, pea ʻi he ngaahi tafungofunga, pea ʻi he lolo ʻakau mata kotoa pē.

5Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to wage war on Jerusalem, and they besieged Ahaz but could not conquer him.

5Pea naʻe toki hoko hake ki Selūsalema ʻa Lisini ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia mo Peka ko e foha ʻo Limalia ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ke na tauʻi ia: pea naʻa na kāpui ʻa ʻAhasi ʻaki ʻae tau, ka naʻe ʻikai te na mafai ʻa hono fakavaivaiʻi.

6At that time Rezin the king of Syria recovered Elath for Syria and drove the men of Judah from Elath, and the Edomites came to Elath, where they dwell to this day.

6Pea ʻi he kuonga ko ia naʻe toe maʻu ʻe Lisini ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia, ʻa Elati ke toka ki Silia, pea naʻa ne kapusi ʻae kakai Siu mei Elati: pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae kakai Silia ki Elati, ʻonau nofo ai ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.

7So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. Come up and rescue me from the hand of the king of Syria and from the hand of the king of Israel, who are attacking me.”

7Ko ia naʻe fekau atu ai ʻae kau talafekau meia ʻAhasi kia Tekilati-Pilesa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻo pehē, “Ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki pea ko ho foha au; ka ke meʻa mai, mo fakamoʻui au mei he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Silia, pea mei he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia kuo tuʻu hake ke tauʻi au.”

8Ahaz also took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD and in the treasures of the king’s house and sent a present to the king of Assyria.

8Pea naʻe toʻo mai ʻe ʻAhasi ʻae siliva mo e koula ʻaia naʻe ʻilo ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, pea ʻi he ngaahi tukunga koloa ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi, mo ne ʻave ia ko e meʻaʻofa ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia.

9And the king of Assyria listened to him. The king of Assyria marched up against Damascus and took it, carrying its people captive to Kir, and he killed Rezin.

9Pea naʻe tui kiate ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia: he naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ke tauʻi ʻa Tamasikusi, pea naʻa ne lavaʻi ia, mo ne ʻave pōpula ʻae kakai mei ai ki Kili, pea naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻa Lisini.

10When King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, he saw the altar that was at Damascus. And King Ahaz sent to Uriah the priest a model of the altar, and its pattern, exact in all its details.

10Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAhasi ki Tamasikusi ke feʻiloaki mo Tekilati-Pilesa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, pea naʻa ne mamata ki ha feilaulauʻanga ʻaia naʻe ʻi Tamasikusi: pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe he tuʻi ko ʻAhasi kia Ulisa ko e taulaʻeiki ʻa hono fakatātā ʻoe feilaulauʻanga, pea mo hono fuofua ʻo ia, ʻo fakatatau mo hono teunga kotoa pē.

11And Uriah the priest built the altar; in accordance with all that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so Uriah the priest made it, before King Ahaz arrived from Damascus.

11Pea naʻe langa ʻe Ulisa ko e taulaʻeiki ha feilaulauʻanga naʻe tatau ʻaupito mo ia naʻe fakahā mai ʻe ʻAhasi mei Tamasikusi: ko ia naʻe ngaohi ia ʻe Ulisa ko e taulaʻeiki ke ne tali ʻaki ʻae toe liliu mai ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAhasi mei Tamasikusi.

12And when the king came from Damascus, the king viewed the altar. Then the king drew near to the altar and went up on it

12Pea ʻi heʻene liliu mai ʻae tuʻi mei Tamasikusi, naʻe mamata ʻe he tuʻi ki he feilaulauʻanga: pea naʻe ʻunuʻunu mai ʻae tuʻi ki he feilaulauʻanga pea naʻa ne fai feilaulau ʻi ai.

13and burned his burnt offering and his grain offering and poured his drink offering and threw the blood of his peace offerings on the altar.

13Pea naʻa ne tutu ʻa ʻene feilaulau tutu mo ʻene feilaulau meʻakai, mo ne lilingi ʻa ʻene feilaulau inu, pea naʻa ne luluku ʻae toto ʻo ʻene ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, ki he feilaulauʻanga.

14And the bronze altar that was before the LORD he removed from the front of the house, from the place between his altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of his altar.

14Pea naʻa ne ʻomi foki ʻae feilaulauʻanga palasa, ʻaia naʻe tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, mei he mata fale, mei he vahaʻa ʻoe feilaulauʻanga pea mo e fale ʻo Sihova, pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ia ki he potu fakatokelau ʻoe feilaulauʻanga.

15And King Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest, saying, “On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering and the evening grain offering and the king’s burnt offering and his grain offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their grain offering and their drink offering. And throw on it all the blood of the burnt offering and all the blood of the sacrifice, but the bronze altar shall be for me to inquire by.”

15Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ko ʻAhasi kia Ulisa ko e taulaʻeiki, ʻo pehē, “Te ke tutu ki he feilaulauʻanga lahi ʻae feilaulau tutu ʻoe pongipongi, mo e feilaulau meʻakai ʻoe efiafi, mo e feilaulau tutu ʻae tuʻi, pea mo ʻene feilaulau meʻakai, fakataha mo e feilaulau tutu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, mo ʻenau feilaulau meʻakai, mo ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau inu; pea luluku ki ai ʻae toto kotoa pē ʻoe feilaulau tutu, mo e toto ʻoe meʻa feilaulau kotoa pē: ka ʻe tuku ʻae feilaulauʻanga palasa ke u lotu ai au.”

16Uriah the priest did all this, as King Ahaz commanded.

16Naʻe fai pehē ʻe Ulisa ko e taulaʻeiki, ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ko ʻAhasi.

17And King Ahaz cut off the frames of the stands and removed the basin from them, and he took down the sea from off the bronze oxen that were under it and put it on a stone pedestal.

17Pea naʻe tuʻusi ʻe he tuʻi ko ʻAhasi ʻae tapa ʻoe ngaahi tuʻunga, mo ne hiki mei ai ʻae ʻaiʻanga vai; pea naʻa ne hiki ki lalo ʻae fuʻu ʻaiʻanga vai mei he funga ʻoe ngaahi pulu palasa ʻaia naʻe tuʻu ki lalo ʻi ai, pea naʻa ne ʻai ia ki he potu naʻe faliki ʻaki ʻae ngaahi maka.

18And the covered way for the Sabbath that had been built inside the house and the outer entrance for the king he caused to go around the house of the LORD, because of the king of Assyria.

18Pea ko e fale fakamalumalu maʻae ʻaho tapu ʻaia naʻa nau langa ʻi he fale, pea mo e hala ʻoe tuʻi mei tuʻa, naʻa ne hiki atu mei he fale ʻo Sihova koeʻuhi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia.

19Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

19Pea ko eni, ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa ʻAhasi ʻaia naʻa ne fai, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?

20And Ahaz slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David, and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.

20Pea naʻe mohe ʻa ʻAhasi mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe tanu ia fakataha mo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Hesekaia ko hono foha.
