1ʻI he hili ʻae pekia ʻa ʻEhapi, naʻe angatuʻu ʻa Moape ki ʻIsileli.
1After the death of Ahab, Moab rebelled against Israel.
2Pea naʻe tō hifo ʻa ʻAhasia mei he kātupa ʻi hono potu fale ki ʻolunga ʻaia naʻe ʻi Samēlia, pea ne mahakiʻia ai: pea naʻa ne kouna atu ha kau talafekau, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou ʻalu ʻo fakafehuʻi kia Peali-Sepupi ko e ʻotua ʻo Ekiloni, pea te u moʻui mei he mahaki ni pe ʻikai.”
2Now Ahaziah had fallen through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria and injured himself. So he sent messengers and instructed them: “Go inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover from this injury.”
3Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻo Sihova kia ʻIlaisiā ko e tangata Tisipa, “Tuʻu hake, mo ke ʻalu hake ke fetaulaki mo e kau talafekau ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Samēlia, pea ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻOtua ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻoku mou ʻalu ai ke fehuʻi kia Peali-Sepupi ko e ʻotua ʻo Ekiloni?’
3But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are on your way to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?’
4Ko ia foki ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova, ‘ʻE ʻikai te ke ʻalu hifo mei he mohenga kuo ke ʻalu hake ki ai, ka te ke mate moʻoni.’” Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻIlaisiā.
4Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘You will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.’” So Elijah departed.
5¶ Pea ʻi he liliu atu kiate ia ʻae kau talafekau, naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā eni kuo mou foki ai?”
5When the messengers returned to the king, he asked them, “Why have you returned?”
6Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Naʻe ai ha tangata naʻe fakafetaulaki mai kiate kimautolu pea naʻa ne pehē kiate kimautolu, ‘Mou ʻalu, ʻo toe foki atu ki he tuʻi ʻaia naʻa ne fekauʻi kimoutolu, pea tala kiate ia, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻOku ʻikai ʻapē ha ʻOtua ʻi ʻIsileli kuo ke fekau ai ke fehuʻi kia Peali-Sepupi ko e ʻotua ʻo Ekiloni? Ko ia ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻalu hifo mei he mohenga kuo ke ʻalu hake ki ai, ka te ke mate moʻoni.’”
6They replied, “A man came up to meet us and said, ‘Go back to the king who sent you and tell him that this is what the LORD says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending these men to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.’”
7Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Naʻe matamata fēfē ʻae tangata ʻaia naʻa ne fakafetaulaki mai kiate kimoutolu, mo ne leaʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni kiate kimoutolu?”
7The king asked them, “What sort of man came up to meet you and spoke these words to you?”
8Pea naʻa nau pehēange, “Ko e tangata fulufulu ia, pea naʻe nonoʻo ʻaki ʻae noʻotanga kiliʻi manu ʻi hono kongaloto.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Tā ko ʻIlaisiā ko e tangata Tisipa.”
8“He was a hairy man,” they answered, “with a leather belt around his waist.” “It was Elijah the Tishbite,” said the king.
9Pea naʻe toki fekau atu kiate ia ʻe he tuʻi ha ʻeiki naʻe pule ki he toko nimangofulu mo ʻene toko nimangofulu. Pea naʻa ne ʻalu hake kiate ia: pea vakai, naʻa ne nofo ʻi he tumutumu ʻo ha moʻunga. Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻA koe ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, kuo pehē ʻe he tuʻi, ‘Ke ke ʻalu hifo.’”
9Then King Ahaziah sent to Elijah a captain with his company of fifty men. So the captain went up to Elijah, who was sitting on top of a hill, and said to him, “Man of God, the king declares, ‘Come down!’”
10Pea naʻe tali ʻe ʻIlaisiā ʻo pehēange ki he ʻeiki ʻoe toko nimangofulu, “Kapau ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua au, tuku ke tō hifo ha afi mei he langi, ke ʻauha ai koe mo hoʻo toko nimangofulu.” Pea naʻe tō hifo ʻae afi mei he langi, pea ne fakaʻauha ia pea mo ʻene toko nimangofulu.
10Elijah answered the captain, “If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.” And fire came down from heaven and consumed the captain and his fifty men.
11Pea naʻa ne toe fekau atu kiate ia ha ʻeiki kehe ʻe tokotaha mo ʻene toko nimangofulu, Pea naʻa ne pehēange kiate ia, “ʻE tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, kuo pehē mai ʻe he tuʻi, ‘Ke ke ʻalu hifo ke vave.’”
11So the king sent to Elijah another captain with his fifty men. And the captain said to Elijah, “Man of God, the king declares, ‘Come down at once!’”
12Pea naʻe tali ʻe ʻIlaisiā ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Kapau ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua au, tuku ke tō hifo ha afi mei he langi, ke ʻauha ai koe mo hoʻo toko nimangofulu.” Pea naʻe tō hifo ʻae afi mei he ʻOtua mei he langi, pea ne fakaʻauha ia pea mo ʻene toko nimangofulu.
12Again Elijah replied, “If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.” And the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed the captain and his fifty men.
13Pea naʻa ne toe fekau atu ha ʻeiki mo hono tolu ʻoe toko nimangofulu, ʻaia mo ʻene toko nimangofulu. Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa hono toko tolu ʻoe ʻeiki naʻe pule ki he toko nimangofulu, pea naʻa ne hoko ange mo ne tō ʻo tūʻulutui ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIlaisiā, mo ne kole kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “ʻE tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke mahuʻinga ʻi ho ʻao ʻa ʻeku moʻui, pea mo e moʻui ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ni ʻe toko nimangofulu.
13So the king sent a third captain with his fifty men. And the third captain went up, fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, “Man of God, may my life and the lives of these fifty servants please be precious in your sight.
14Vakai, naʻe ʻalu hifo mei he langi ʻae afi, pea vela ai ʻo ʻosi ʻae ongo ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi muʻaki toko nimangofulu, pea mo ʻena toko nimangofulu: ko ia tuku eni ke mahuʻinga ʻa ʻeku moʻui ʻi ho ʻao.”
14Behold, fire has come down from heaven and consumed the first two captains of fifty, with all their men. But now may my life be precious in your sight.”
15Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻo Sihova kia ʻIlaisiā, “Ke ke ʻalu hifo mo ia: ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē kiate ia.” Pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake, mo ne ʻalu hifo mo ia ki he tuʻi.
15Then the angel of the LORD said to Elijah, “Go down with him. Do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah got up and went down with him to the king.
16Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Koeʻuhi kuo ke fekau atu ha kau talafekau ke fakafehuʻi kia Peali-Sepupi ko e ʻotua ʻo Ekiloni, ko e meʻa ʻapē ʻi he ʻikai ha ʻOtua ʻi ʻIsileli ke ke fakaongo ki heʻene folofola? Ko ia ʻe ʻikai ai te ke toe ʻalu hifo mei he mohenga na ʻaia kuo ke ʻalu hake ki ai, ka te ke mate moʻoni.’”
16And Elijah said to King Ahaziah, “This is what the LORD says: Is there really no God in Israel for you to inquire of His word? Is that why you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.”
17¶ Ko ia, naʻe mate ia ʻo fakatatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ʻIlaisiā. Pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Siholami, ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo Siholami ko e foha ʻo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta; koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai hano foha.
17So Ahaziah died according to the word of the LORD that Elijah had spoken. And since he had no son, Jehoram succeeded him in the second year of the reign of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat over Judah.
18Pea ko eni, ko e toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa ʻAhasia ʻaia naʻa ne fai, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?
18As for the rest of the acts of Ahaziah, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
