1And Joram the son of Achab reigned over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Josaphat king of Juda. And he reigned twelve years.
1Ko eni, naʻe kamata pule ki ʻIsileli ʻa Siholami ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi, ʻi Samēlia, ʻi hono hongofulu ma valu ʻoe taʻu ʻo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ua.
2And he did evil before the Lord, but not like his father and his mother: for he took away the statues of Baal, which his father had made.
2Pea naʻe fai kovi ʻe ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; ka naʻe ʻikai hangē ko ʻene tamai, pe hangē ko ʻene faʻē: he naʻa ne liʻaki ʻae meʻa fakatātā kia Peali ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe heʻene tamai.
3Nevertheless he stuck to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, nor did he depart from them.
3Ka neongo ia naʻa ne pikitai ki he ngaahi angahala ʻa Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, ʻaia naʻe fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli; naʻe ʻikai tafoki ia mei ai.
4Now Mesa, king of Moab, nourished many sheep, and he paid to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams with their fleeces.
4¶ Pea ko Mesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Moape, ko e ʻeiki ia naʻe maʻu fanga sipi, pea naʻa ne tuku ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ha fanga lami ʻe taha kilu, mo e fanga sipitangata ʻe taha kilu, pea mo honau fulufulu.
5And when Achab was dead, he broke the league which he had made with the king of Israel.
5Ka naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene pekia ʻa ʻEhapi, naʻe angatuʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻo Moape ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
6And king Joram went out that day from Samaria, and mustered all Israel.
6Pea ʻi he kuonga ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu mei Samēlia ʻae tuʻi ko Siholami, mo ne lau hake ʻa ʻIsileli kātoa.
7And he sent to Josaphat king of Juda, saying: The king of Moab is revolted from me, come with me against him to battle. And he answered: I will come up: he that is mine, is thine: my people, thy people: and my horses, thy horses.
7Pea naʻa ne ʻalu mo ne fekau kia Sihosafate, ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo pehē, “Kuo angatuʻu kiate au ʻae tuʻi ʻo Moape: te ke fie ʻalu mo au ki Moape ke fai ʻae tau pe ʻikai? Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe ia, Te u ʻalu hake pe; ʻoka kou hangē ko koe, ʻoku tatau ʻa hoku kakai mo ho kakai, pea tatau ʻa ʻeku fanga hoosi mo hoʻo fanga hoosi.”
8And he said: Which way shall we go up? But he answered: By the desert of Edom.
8Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Te ta ʻalu hake ʻi he hala fē? Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, ʻI he hala ʻoku ʻalu atu ʻi he toafa ʻo ʻItomi.”
9So the king of Israel, and the king of Juda, and the king of Edom went, and they fetched a compass of seven days’ journey, and there was no water for the army, and for the beasts, that followed them.
9Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, mo e tuʻi ʻo Siuta pea mo e tuʻi ʻo ʻItomi: pea naʻa nau hala fakatakamilo hake ʻo fononga ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu: pea naʻe ʻikai ha vai mā ʻae kautau, pe ko e fanga manu naʻe muimui ʻiate kinautolu.
10And the king of Israel said: Alas, alas, alas, the Lord hath gathered us three kings together, to deliver us into the hands of Moab!
10Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “ʻOiauē! ʻI he ui mai ʻe Sihova ke fakataha ʻae tuʻi ʻe toko tolu ni, ke tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo Moape!”
11And Josaphat said: Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may beseech the Lord by him? And one of the servants of the king of Israel answered: Here is Eliseus the son of Saphat, who poured water on the hands of Elias.
11Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate, “ʻOku ʻikai ʻi heni ha palōfita ʻa Sihova, koeʻuhi ke tau fehuʻi ʻiate ia kia Sihova?” Pea naʻe tali ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo, pehē, “ʻOku ʻi heni ʻa ʻIlaisa ko e foha ʻo Safati, ʻaia naʻe lingi vai ki he nima ʻo ʻIlaisiā.”
12And Josaphat said: The word of the Lord is with him. And the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, and the king of Edom went down to him.
12Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate, “ʻOku ʻiate ia ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova.” Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hifo ai kiate ia ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, mo Sihosafate, pea mo e tuʻi ʻo ʻItomi.
13And Eliseus said to the king of Israel: What have I to do with thee? go to the prophets of thy father, and thy mother. And the king of Israel said to him: Why hath the Lord gathered together these three kings, to deliver them into the hands of Moab?
13Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “Ko e hā au kiate koe? Ke ke ʻalu ki he kau palōfita ʻo hoʻo tamai, pea ki he kau palōfita ʻo hoʻo faʻē.” Pea naʻe pehē kiate ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “ʻE ʻikai: he kuo ui ʻa Sihova ke fakataha mai ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ni ʻe toko tolu, koeʻuhi ke tuku ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo Moape.”
14And Eliseus said to him: As the Lord of hosts liveth, in whose sight I stand, if I did not reverence the face of Josaphat king of Juda, I would not have hearkened to thee, nor looked on thee.
14Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi, ʻaia ʻoku ou tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao, pea ko e moʻoni, ka ne ʻoua ʻa ʻeku tokanga ki he ʻao ʻo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pehē, ʻe ʻikai te u hanga atu kiate koe, pe mamata kiate koe.
15But now bring me hither a minstrel. And when the minstrel played, the hand of the Lord came upon him, and he said:
15Ka ko eni, ʻomi kiate au ha tangata ʻoku tā ha meʻa faiva.” Pea vakai ʻi heʻene tā ʻae hiva ʻe he tangata tā meʻa faiva, naʻe hoko mai ʻae nima ʻo Sihova kiate ia.
16Thus saith the Lord: Make the channel of this torrent full of ditches.
16Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Mou fakafonu ʻae teleʻa ni ʻi he ngaahi luo.
17For thus saith the Lord: You shall not see wind, nor rain: and yet this channel shall be filled with waters, and you shall drink, you and your families, and your beasts.
17He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻE ʻikai te mou sio ki ha matangi, pe mamata ki ha ʻuha; ka neongo ia, ʻe pito ʻae teleʻa ni ʻi he vai, koeʻuhi ke mou inu, ʻio ʻakimoutolu, pea mo hoʻomou fanga pulu, pea mo hoʻomou fanga manu.
18And this is a small thing in the sight of the Lord: moreover he will deliver also Moab into your hands.
18Pea ko e meʻa maʻamaʻa eni ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: te ne tuku mai foki ʻae kakai Moape ki homou nima.
19And you shall destroy every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall cut down every fruitful tree, and shall stop up all the springs of waters, and every goodly field you shall cover with stones.
19Pea te mou teʻia ʻae kolo kotoa pē kuo tanu puke, mo e kolo lelei kotoa pē, pea te mou tā hifo ʻae ʻakau lelei kotoa pē, mo punusi ʻae vaikeli kotoa pē, mo maumau ʻaki ʻae maka ʻae potu fonua lelei kotoa pē.”
20And it came to pass in the morning, when the sacrifices used to be offered, that behold, water came by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
20Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi heʻene pongipongi, lolotonga ʻae ʻohake ʻae feilaulau meʻakai, vakai, naʻe tafe mai ʻae vai mei he hala ki ʻItomi, pea naʻe fonu ʻae fonua ʻi he vai.
21And all the Moabites hearing that the kings were come up to fight against them, gathered together all that were girded with a belt upon them, and stood in the borders.
21¶ Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe he kakai Moape kotoa pē, ki he ʻalu hake ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ke tauʻi ʻakinautolu, naʻa nau tānaki mai ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe faʻa fua ʻae mahafutau, ʻo fai hake, ʻonau tutuʻu ʻi he ngataʻanga fonua .
22And they rose early in the morning, and the sun being now up, and shining upon the waters, the Moabites saw the waters over against them red, like blood,
22Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻi he pongipongi, pea naʻe ulo ʻae laʻā ki he funga vai, pea naʻe mamata ʻe he kakai Moape ki he vai mei he potu ʻe taha, ʻoku kulokula ʻae vai ʻo hangē ko e toto:
23And they said: It is the blood of the sword: the kings have fought among themselves, and they have killed one another: go now, Moab, to the spoils.
23Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e toto eni tā ko e moʻoni kuo fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi tuʻi, pea kuo nau fetāmateʻaki ʻakinautolu: ko ia foki, ʻakimoutolu Moape, ke tau ʻalu atu ki he vete.”
24And they went into the camp of Israel: but Israel rising up defeated Moab, who fled before them. And they being conquerors, went and smote Moab.
24Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko mai ki he ʻapitanga tau ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kakai ʻIsileli ʻonau teʻia ʻae kau Moape, pea naʻa nau hola mei honau ʻao: ka naʻa nau muimui atu ʻi he teʻia ʻae kakai Moape, ʻi honau fonua ʻonautolu.
25And they destroyed the cities: and they filled every goodly field, every man casting his stone: and they stopt up all the springs of waters: and cut down all the trees that bore fruit, so that brick walls only remained: and the city was beset by the slingers, and a great part thereof destroyed.
25Pea naʻa nau fakalala ʻae ngaahi kolo, pea ʻilonga ʻae konga fonua kotoa pē naʻe lelei, naʻe lī ki ai ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻa ʻene maka, ke fonu ai ia; pea naʻa nau punusi ʻae ngaahi vaikeli kotoa pē, mo nau tā hifo ʻae ngaahi ʻakau lelei kotoa pē: ko Kili-Halaseti pe naʻa nau tuku ai hono ngaahi maka ʻo ia; ka naʻe nofo tākai ki ai ʻae kau tangata makatā, mo nau kapasia ia.
26And when the king of Moab saw this, to wit, that the enemies had prevailed, he took with him seven hundred men that drew the sword, to break in upon the king of Edom: but they could not.
26¶ Pea ʻi heʻene mamata ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Moape, kuo mālohi fau ʻae tau kiate ia, naʻa ne ʻave mo ia ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fitungeau naʻe toʻo heletā, ke nau ʻoho atu ke lava ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻItomi: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau mafai.
27Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall: and there was great indignation in Israel, and presently they departed from him, and returned into their own country.
27Pea naʻa ne toki toʻo ʻa hono ʻuluaki foha ʻaia naʻe tonu ke hoko mo ia ki he pule, mo ne feilaulau ʻaki ia ko e feilaulau tutu ʻi he funga ʻā. Pea naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae ʻita ki ʻIsileli: pea naʻa nau liʻaki ia mo nau foki atu ki honau fonua.
