1Pea naʻe toki lea ʻa ʻIlaisa ki he fefine, ʻaia naʻa ne fokotuʻu moʻui ki ai ʻa ʻene tama, ʻo ne pehē, “Tuʻu hake, pea ʻalu ʻa koe mo ho kau nofoʻanga, pea ʻāunofo ʻi ha potu pe te ke faʻa ʻāunofo ki ai: he kuo pau pe meia Sihova ke ʻai ha honge; pea ʻe hoko foki ia ki he fonua ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu.”
1Now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had restored to life, “Arise, you and your household; go and live as a foreigner wherever you can. For the LORD has decreed a seven-year famine, and it has already come to the land.”
2Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae fefine, ʻo ne fai ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe lea ki ai ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua: pea naʻa ne ʻalu fakataha mo hono kaungāʻapi, mo ne nofo ʻi he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu.
2So the woman had proceeded to do as the man of God had instructed. And she and her household lived as foreigners for seven years in the land of the Philistines.
3Pea ʻi heʻene hiliange ʻae taʻu ʻe fitu, naʻe toe liliu mai ʻae fefine mei he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia: pea naʻa ne ʻalu atu ke tangi ki he tuʻi ke toe maʻu ʻa hono fale pea mo hono fonua.
3At the end of seven years, when the woman returned from the land of the Philistines, she went to the king to appeal for her house and her land.
4Pea naʻe alea ʻae tuʻi mo Kehesi ʻaia naʻe tamaioʻeiki ki he tangata ʻae ʻOtua, ʻo pehē, ʻOku ou kole ke ke fakahā mai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi kotoa pē ʻaia kuo fai ʻe ʻIlaisa.
4Now the king had been speaking to Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, “Please relate to me all the great things Elisha has done.”
5Pea ʻiloange, lolotonga ʻa ʻene fakahā ki he tuʻi, ʻa ʻene toe fakamoʻui ʻae sino mate, vakai, naʻe tangi mai ki he tuʻi ʻae fefine ʻaia naʻe fakamoʻui ki ai ʻa ʻene tama, ke ne toe maʻu mai ʻa hono fale pea mo hono fonua. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Kehesi, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, ko e fefine eni, pea ko ʻene tama eni, ʻaia naʻe fakamoʻui ʻe ʻIlaisa.”
5And Gehazi was telling the king how Elisha had brought the dead back to life. Just then the woman whose son Elisha had revived came to appeal to the king for her house and her land. So Gehazi said, “My lord the king, this is the woman, and this is the son Elisha restored to life.”
6Pea ʻi heʻene ʻeke atu ʻe he tuʻi ki he fefine, naʻa ne fakamatala ia kiate ia. Ko ia naʻe fekau ai ʻe he tuʻi ki ha matāpule ʻe tokotaha, ʻo pehē, “Toe ʻatu kiate ia ʻae meʻa kotoa pē naʻe ʻaʻana, pea mo e tupu kotoa pē ʻo ʻene ngoue talu mei he ʻaho naʻa ne ʻalu ai mei he fonua, ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.”
6When the king asked the woman, she confirmed it. So the king appointed for her an officer, saying, “Restore all that was hers, along with all the proceeds of the field from the day that she left the country until now.”
7¶ Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻa ʻIlaisa ki Tamasikusi; pea naʻe mahakiʻia ʻa Penihatati ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia; pea naʻe tala kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Kuo haʻu ki heni ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua.
7Then Elisha came to Damascus while Ben-hadad king of Aram was sick, and the king was told, “The man of God has come here.”
8Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia Hasaeli, Toʻo ha meʻaʻofa ʻi ho nima, pea ke ʻalu ʻo fakafetaulaki mo e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ke fehuʻi kia Sihova ʻiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Pe te u toe moʻui hake mei he mahaki ni?”
8So the king said to Hazael, “Take a gift in your hand, go to meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD through him, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”
9Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Hasaeli ke fetaulaki mo ia, ʻo ne ʻave ʻae meʻaʻofa ʻi hono nima, ʻio, mei he meʻa lelei kotoa pē ʻi Tamasikusi, ko e ngaahi kavenga naʻe fua ʻe he fanga kāmeli ʻe fāngofulu, pea naʻa ne haʻu ʻo tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao, mo ne pehē, Kuo fekauʻi au ʻe ho foha ko Penihatati ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia, ke pehē, “Te u toe moʻui hake mei he mahaki ni pe ʻikai?”
9So Hazael went to meet Elisha, taking with him a gift of forty camel loads of every good thing from Damascus. And he went in and stood before him and said, “Your son Ben-hadad king of Aram has sent me to ask, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”
10Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa kiate ia, “ʻAlu, ʻo tala kiate ia, ʻOku ke faʻa moʻui hake moʻoni: ka kuo fakahā mai ʻe Sihova ko e moʻoni pe te ne mate.”
10Elisha answered, “Go and tell him, ‘You will surely recover.’ But the LORD has shown me that in fact he will die.”
11Pea naʻe sio fakamamaʻu ia, pea naʻa ne mā ai: pea naʻe tangi ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua.
11Elisha fixed his gaze steadily on him until Hazael became uncomfortable. Then the man of God began to weep.
12Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Hasaeli, “Ko e hā ʻoku tangi ai ʻa hoku ʻeiki?” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “Koeʻuhi ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻae kovi kotoa pē ʻaia te ke fai ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: te ke tutu ʻa honau ngaahi kolo tau, pea te ke tāmateʻi ʻa ʻenau kau talavou ʻaki ʻae heletā, pea te ke laiki ʻa ʻenau tamaiki, mo fahiʻi ʻae kau fefine ʻoku feitama.”
12“Why is my lord weeping?” asked Hazael. “Because I know the evil you will do to the Israelites,” Elisha replied. “You will set fire to their fortresses, kill their young men with the sword, dash their little ones to pieces, and rip open their pregnant women.”
13Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Hasaeli, “Ka ko e hā, ko e kulī ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko au, ke u fai ha meʻa pehē fau?” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ʻIlaisa, “Kuo fakaʻilo mai ʻe Sihova ke ke tuʻi ko e ki Silia.”
13“But how could your servant, a mere dog, do such a monstrous thing?” said Hazael. And Elisha answered, “The LORD has shown me that you will be king over Aram.”
14Ko ia naʻa ne ʻalu ai meia ʻIlaisa, mo ne haʻu ki heʻene ʻeiki; ʻaia naʻe pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻae lea ʻa ʻIlaisa kiate koe? Pea naʻa ne pehēange, naʻa ne fakahā mai te ke moʻui hake moʻoni.”
14So Hazael left Elisha and went to his master, who asked him, “What did Elisha say to you?” And he replied, “He told me that you would surely recover.”
15Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho naʻe feholoi, naʻe toʻo ʻe Hasaeli ha konga holo matolu, mo ne unu ia ʻi he vai, pea naʻa ne folahi ia ki hono mata, ke ne mate ai: pea naʻe fetongi ai ia ʻi he pule ʻe Hasaeli.
15But the next day Hazael took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it over the king’s face. So Ben-hadad died, and Hazael reigned in his place.
16¶ Pea ʻi hono nima ʻoe taʻu ʻo Solami ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ka naʻe tuʻi ʻa Sihosafate ʻi he kuonga ko ia ʻi Siuta, naʻe kamata pule ʻa Siholami ko e foha ʻo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta.
16In the fifth year of the reign of Joram son of Ahab over Israel, Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat succeeded his father as king of Judah.
17Naʻe tolungofulu ma ua ʻa ʻene taʻu ʻi heʻene kamata pule; pea naʻa ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe valu ʻi Selūsalema.
17Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years.
18Pea naʻa ne ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe he fale ʻo ʻEhapi: he naʻa ne mali mo e ʻofefine ʻo ʻEhapi: pea naʻa ne fai ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
18And Jehoram walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done. For he married a daughter of Ahab and did evil in the sight of the LORD.
19Ka naʻe ʻikai fie fakaʻauha ʻa Siuta ʻe Sihova, koeʻuhi pe ko Tevita ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki, ʻaia naʻa ne talaʻofa ki ai ke foaki maʻuaipē kiate ia ha maama, pea ki hono hako.
19Yet for the sake of His servant David, the LORD was unwilling to destroy Judah, since He had promised to maintain a lamp for David and his descendants forever.
20¶ ʻI hono kuonga ʻoʻona naʻe angatuʻu ʻa ʻItomi ki he pule ʻa Siuta, pea naʻa nau fakanofo ha tuʻi maʻanautolu pe.
20In the days of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against the hand of Judah and appointed their own king.
21Ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu ai ʻa Solami ki Saili, pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻae ngaahi saliote kotoa pē: pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake ʻi he poʻuli, mo ne teʻia ʻae kakai ʻItomi naʻe nofo takatakai ʻiate ia, pea mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi saliote: pea naʻe feholaki ʻae kakai ki honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki.
21So Jehoram crossed over to Zair with all his chariots. When the Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, he rose up and attacked by night. His troops, however, fled to their homes.
22Ka kuo angatuʻu ʻa ʻItomi ki he pule ʻa Siuta ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni. Pea naʻe angatuʻu ʻa Lipina ʻi he kuonga pe ko ia.
22So to this day Edom has been in rebellion against the hand of Judah. Likewise, Libnah rebelled at the same time.
23Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Solami, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?
23As for the rest of the acts of Jehoram, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
24Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Solami ki heʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe fai hono putu ki he potu ʻa ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he kolo ʻo Tevita: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko ʻAhasia.
24And Jehoram rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David. And his son Ahaziah reigned in his place.
25¶ Pea ʻi hono hongofulu ma ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo Solami ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli naʻe kamata pule ʻa ʻAhasia ko e foha ʻo Siholami ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta.
25In the twelfth year of the reign of Joram son of Ahab over Israel, Ahaziah son of Jehoram became king of Judah.
26Naʻe uofulu ma ua ʻae taʻu ʻoe motuʻa ʻa ʻAhasia ʻi heʻene kamata pule; pea naʻa ne pule ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe taha. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko ʻAtalia, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Omili ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
26Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri king of Israel.
27Pea naʻa ne ʻeveʻeva ʻi he hala ʻoe fale ʻo ʻEhapi, mo ne fai ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe he fale ʻo ʻEhapi: he ko e foha ia ʻi he fono ki he fale ʻo ʻEhapi.
27And Ahaziah walked in the ways of the house of Ahab and did evil in the sight of the LORD like the house of Ahab, for he was a son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
28¶ Pea naʻa ne ʻalu mo Solami ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi ki he tau naʻe fai kia Hasaeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia ʻi Lemoti-Kiliati; pea naʻe lavea ʻa Solami ʻi he kakai Silia.
28Then Ahaziah went with Joram son of Ahab to fight against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead, and the Arameans wounded Joram.
29Pea naʻe toe ʻalu ʻa Solami ki Sesilili ke fakamoʻui ʻa hono ngaahi lavea ʻaia naʻe lavea ai ia ʻi he kakai Silia ʻi Lama, ʻi heʻene tauʻi ʻa Hasaeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia. Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa ʻAhasia ko e foha ʻo Siholami ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ke mamata kia Solami ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi ʻi Sesilili, ko e meʻa ʻi hono lavea.
29So King Joram returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds that the Arameans had inflicted on him at Ramah when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. Then Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to Jezreel to visit Joram son of Ahab, because Joram had been wounded.
