1In the seventeenth year of Phacee the son of Romelia reigned Achaz the son of Joatham king of Juda.
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.
2Achaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: he did not that which was pleasing in the sight of the Lord his God, as David his father.
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: moreover he consecrated also his son, making him pass through the fire according to the idols of the nations: which the Lord destroyed before the children 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.
4He sacrificed also and burnt incense in 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 Basin king of Syria, and Phacee son of Romelia king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to fight: and they besieged Achaz, but were not able to overcome him.
5¶ Pea 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 Rasin king of Syria restored Aila to Syria, and drove the men of Juda out of Aila: and the Edomites came into Aila, and dwelt there unto 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.
7And Achaz sent messengers to Theglathphalasar king of the Assyrians, saying: I am thy servant, and thy son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who are risen up together against 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.”
8And when he had gathered together the silver and gold that could be found in the house of the Lord, and in the king’s treasures, he sent it for a present to the king of the Assyrians.
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 he agreed to his desire: for the king of the Assyrians went up against Damascus, and laid it waste: and he carried away the inhabitants thereof to Cyrene, but Basin he slew.
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.
10And king Achaz went to Damascus to meet Theglathphalasar king of the Assyrians, and when he had seen the altar of Damascus, king Achaz sent to Urias the priest a pattern of it, and its likeness according to all the work thereof.
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 Urias the priest built an altar according to all that king Achaz had commanded from Damascus, so did Urias the priest, until king Achaz came 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 was come from Damascus, he saw the altar and worshipped it: and went up and offered holocausts, and his own sacrifice.
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 offered libations and poured the blood of the peace offerings, which he had offered upon 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.
14But the altar of brass that was before the Lord, he removed from the face of the temple, and from the place of the altar, and from the place of the temple of the Lord: and he set it at the side of the altar toward the north.
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 Achaz commanded Urias the priest saying: Upon the great altar offer the morning holocaust, and the evening sacrifice, and the king’s holocaust, and his sacrifice, and the holocaust of the whole people of the land, and their sacrifices, and their libations: and all the blood of the holocaust, and all the blood of the victim thou shalt pour out upon it: but the altar of brass shall be ready at my pleasure.
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.”
16So Urias the priest did according to all that king Achaz had commanded him.
16Naʻe fai pehē ʻe Ulisa ko e taulaʻeiki, ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ko ʻAhasi.
17And king Achaz took away the graven bases, and the laver that was upon them: and he took down the sea from the brazen oxen that held it up, and put it upon a pavement of stone.
17¶ Pea 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.
18The Musach also for the sabbath, which he had built in the temple: and the king’s entry from without he turned into the temple of the Lord, because of the king of the Assyrians.
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 Achaz, which he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
19¶ Pea 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 Achaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David, and Ezechias his son reigned in his stead.
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.
