Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah and made him king in Jerusalem in place of his father.
1Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua ʻa Sihoaasi ko e foha ʻo Sosaia, ʻo fakanofo ia ko e tuʻi ko e fetongi ʻo ʻene tamai ʻi Selūsalema.
2Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months.
2Naʻe uofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe tolu ʻae motuʻa ʻo Sihoaasi ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he māhina ʻe tolu ʻi Selūsalema.
3And the king of Egypt dethroned him in Jerusalem and imposed on Judah a levy of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
3Pea naʻe liua ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite ʻi Selūsalema, ʻo ne pule ke totongi ʻe he fonua ʻaki ʻae taleniti koula ʻe taha.
4Then Neco king of Egypt made Eliakim brother of Jehoahaz king over Judah and Jerusalem, and he changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. But Neco took Eliakim’s brother Jehoahaz and carried him off to Egypt.
4Pea ne fakanofo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite hono tokoua ke tuʻi ia ki Siuta mo Selūsalema, ʻo ne liua hono hingoa ko Sihoiakimi. Pea naʻe puke ʻe Niko ʻa hono tokoua ko Sihoaasi ʻo fetuku ia ki ʻIsipite.
5Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD his God.
5¶ Naʻe uofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe nima ʻae motuʻa ʻo Sihoiakimi ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma taha ʻi Selūsalema: pea naʻe fai kovi ʻe ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtua.
6Then Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jehoiakim and bound him with bronze shackles to take him to Babylon.
6Pea naʻe haʻu ke tauʻi ia ʻa Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea naʻa ne haʻi ia ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa haʻi ke fetuku ia ki Papilone.
7Nebuchadnezzar also took to Babylon some of the articles from the house of the LORD, and he put them in his temple in Babylon.
7Pea naʻe fetuku foki ʻe Nepukanesa ʻae ngaahi ipu ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova ki Papilone, ʻo tuku ia ki hono fale tapu ʻi Papilone.
8As for the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, the abominations he committed, and all that was found against him, they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. And his son Jehoiachin reigned in his place.
8Pea ko eni ko hono toe ʻoe ngāue ʻa Sihoiakimi, mo ʻene fakalielia naʻa ne fai, mo ia naʻe ʻilo ʻiate ia, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli mo Siuta: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Sihoiakini ko hono foha.
9Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months and ten days. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD.
9¶ Naʻe valu taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo Sihoiakini ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he māhina ʻe tolu mo e ʻaho ʻe hongofulu ʻi Selūsalema: pea naʻe fai kovi ʻe ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
10In the spring, King Nebuchadnezzar summoned Jehoiachin and brought him to Babylon, along with the articles of value from the house of the LORD. And he made Jehoiachin’s relative Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.
10Pea ʻi he hili ʻae taʻu, naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ko Nepukanesa, pea naʻe ʻomi ia ki Papilone, fakataha mo e ngaahi ipu matamatalelei ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe fakanofo ʻa Setikia ko hono tokoua ke ne tuʻi ki Siuta mo Selūsalema.
11Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years.
11¶ Naʻe uofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe taha ʻae motuʻa ʻo Setikia ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma taha ʻi Selūsalema.
12And he did evil in the sight of the LORD his God and did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke for the LORD.
12Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ko hono ʻOtua, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne fakavaivai ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Selemaia ko e palōfita, naʻe lea mei he fofonga ʻo Sihova.
13He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God. But Zedekiah stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD, the God of Israel.
13Pea naʻe angatuʻu ia foki ki he tuʻi ko Nepukanesa, ʻaia naʻa ne fakafuakavaʻi ia ki he ʻOtua: ka naʻa ne fakakekeva hono kia, pea fakafefeka ki hono loto ʻi he taʻefietafoki kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
14Furthermore, all the leaders of the priests and the people multiplied their unfaithful deeds, following all the abominations of the nations, and they defiled the house of the LORD, which He had consecrated in Jerusalem.
14¶ Pea naʻe fai hala foki ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi kotoa pē, mo e kakai, ʻo fai hala lahi ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi angakovi ʻae hiteni: ʻonau fakahalaʻi ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻi Selūsalema ʻaia naʻa ne fakatapui.
15Again and again the LORD, the God of their fathers, sent word to His people through His messengers because He had compassion on them and on His dwelling place.
15Pea naʻe kouna kiate kinautolu ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai ʻene kau talafekau, naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake, pea fekau: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene angaʻofa ki hono kakai, pea ki hono potu nofoʻanga:
16But they mocked the messengers of God, despising His words and scoffing at His prophets, until the wrath of the LORD against His people was stirred up beyond remedy.
16Ka naʻa nau manuki ki he kau talafekau ʻae ʻOtua, pea taʻetokanga ki heʻene ngaahi lea, mo fai kovi ki heʻene kau palōfita, pea naʻe tupu ai ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova ki hono kakai, pea naʻe ʻikai ha fakamoʻui.
17So He brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans, who put their young men to the sword in the sanctuary, sparing neither young men nor young women, neither elderly nor infirm. God gave them all into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar,
17Ko ia naʻa ne ʻomi ai kiate kinautolu ʻae tuʻi ʻoe kakai Kalitia, ʻaia naʻe tāmateʻi ʻenau kau talavou ʻaki ʻae heletā ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau fakatahaʻanga, pea naʻe ʻikai ha ʻofa ki ha talavou pe ki ha taʻahine, ʻae tangata motuʻa, pe ko ia ʻoku mapelu ʻi he motuʻa lahi: naʻa ne tuku ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ki hono nima.
18who carried off everything to Babylon—all the articles of the house of God, both large and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king and his officials.
18Pea mo e ngaahi ipu kotoa pē ʻoe fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻae lahi mo e siʻi, mo e ngaahi koloa ʻae fale ʻo Sihova, mo e ngaahi koloa ʻae tuʻi, mo e koloa ʻa hono houʻeiki: pea naʻe ʻomi ia kotoa pē ki Papilone.
19Then the Chaldeans set fire to the house of God and broke down the wall of Jerusalem. They burned down all the palaces and destroyed every article of value.
19Pea naʻa nau tutu ʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua pea holoki hifo ʻae ʻā maka ʻo Selūsalema, pea naʻe tutu hono ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo ia ʻaki ʻae afi, pea maumau ʻae ngaahi nāunau matamatalelei kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai.
20Those who escaped the sword were carried by Nebuchadnezzar into exile in Babylon, and they became servants to him and his sons until the kingdom of Persia came to power.
20Pea ko kinautolu naʻe hao mei he heletā naʻa ne fetuku ʻakinautolu ki Papilone: ʻaia naʻa nau nofo ai ko e kau tamaioʻeiki kiate ia pea ki hono ngaahi foha ʻo aʻu ki he pule ʻae puleʻanga ʻo Peasia:
21So the land enjoyed its Sabbath rest all the days of the desolation, until seventy years were completed, in fulfillment of the word of the LORD through Jeremiah.
21Ke fakamoʻoni ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻi he ngutu ʻo Selemaia, “Ke ʻoua ke maʻu fiemālie pe ʻe he fonua hono ngaahi ʻaho tapu: he koeʻuhi ʻi heʻene nofo lala pe naʻa ne maʻu ʻae ʻaho tapu ke fakakakato ʻae taʻu ʻe fitungofulu.”
22In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken through Jeremiah, the LORD stirred the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia to send a proclamation throughout his kingdom and to put it in writing as follows:
22¶ Pea ko eni ʻi he ʻuluaki taʻu ʻo Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia, ke fakatonutonu ai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻi he ngutu ʻo Selemaia, naʻe langaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae laumālie ʻo Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia, koeʻuhi ke fanongonongo ʻae fono ʻi hono puleʻanga kotoa pē, pea ke ʻai ia ʻi he tohi foki, ʻo pehē,
23“This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, who has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, has appointed me to build a house for Him at Jerusalem in Judah. Whoever among you belongs to His people, may the LORD his God be with him, and may he go up.’”
23ʻOku pehē ʻe Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia, “Kuo tuku ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe langi, ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani kiate au: pea kuo ne fekau kiate au ke u langa ʻae fale moʻona ʻi Selūsalema ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Siuta. Ko hai ia ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻo hono kakai? Ke ʻiate ia ʻa Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, pea tuku ke ʻalu hake ia.”
