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.
1Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father’s stead in Jerusalem.
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.
2Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
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.
3And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and condemned the land in an hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
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.
4And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and turned his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
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.
5¶ Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God.
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.
6Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to 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.
7Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
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.
8Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
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.
9¶ Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD .
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.
10And when the year was expired, king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of the LORD , and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
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.
11¶ Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
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.
12And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the LORD .
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.
13And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the LORD God of Israel.
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.
14¶ Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
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:
15And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:
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.
16But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
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.
17Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand.
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.
18And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD , and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon.
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.
19And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.
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:
20And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:
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.”
21To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.
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,
22¶ Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
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.”
23Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.
