Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.
1Naʻe uofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe nima ʻae motuʻa ʻo ʻAmasia, ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu ma nima ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Sihoatani ʻo Selūsalema.
2He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, but not with a perfect heart.
2Pea naʻe fai lelei ʻe ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ka naʻe ʻikai ʻi he loto haohaoa.
3Now when the kingdom was established to him, he killed his servants who had killed his father the king.
3¶ Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he hoko ʻo tuʻumaʻu ʻae puleʻanga kiate ia, naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaia naʻe lapasi ʻae tuʻi ko ʻene tamai.
4But he didn’t put their children to death, but did according to that which is written in the law in the book of Moses, as the LORD commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.”
4Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne tāmateʻi ʻenau ngaahi fānau, ka naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi he fono ʻi he tohi ʻa Mōsese, ʻaia naʻe fekau ai ʻe Sihova, ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻikai mate ʻae ngaahi tamai koeʻuhi ko e fānau, pea ʻe ʻikai mate ʻae fānau maʻae mātuʻa, ka ʻe mate ʻae tangata taki taha koeʻuhi ko ʻene angahala ʻaʻana.
5Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together and ordered them according to their fathers’ houses, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, even all Judah and Benjamin. He counted them from twenty years old and upward, and found that there were three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go out to war, who could handle spear and shield.
5¶ Pea naʻe fakakātoa ʻe ʻAmasia ʻa Siuta kotoa pē, ʻo ne fakanofo kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki pule ki he ngaahi toko afe, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki pule ki he ngaahi toko teau, ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻi Siuta kotoa pē mo Penisimani: pea naʻa ne lau ʻakinautolu mei he taʻu ʻe uofulu ʻo fai hake, ʻo ne ʻilo ʻakinautolu ko e toko tolu kilu naʻe lelei, pea mālohi ke ʻalu atu ke tau, pea maheni ai ʻi he ala ki he tao mo e pā.
6He also hired one hundred thousand mighty men of valor out of Israel for one hundred talents of silver.
6Pea naʻa ne totongi ʻae kau tangata ʻe tokotaha kilu mei ʻIsileli ʻaki ʻae taleniti siliva ʻe teau, ko e kau mālohi mo toʻa.
7A man of God came to him, saying, “O king, don’t let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD is not with Israel, with all the children of Ephraim.
7Ka naʻe haʻu kiate ia ha tangata ʻae ʻOtua, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE tuʻi, ʻoua naʻa tuku ke ʻalu mo koe ʻae kautau ʻa ʻIsileli: he ʻoku ʻikai kau mo ʻIsileli ʻa Sihova, ko e fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIfalemi.
8But if you will go, take action, and be strong for the battle. God will overthrow you before the enemy; for God has power to help, and to overthrow.”
8Pea kapau te ke ʻalu koe, fai pe, ke ke mālohi koe ki he tau: ʻe fakahinga koe ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fili: he ʻoku ʻi he ʻOtua ʻae mālohi ke tokoni, pea ke lī ki lalo.”
9Amaziah said to the man of God, “But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel?” The man of God answered, “The LORD is able to give you much more than this.”
9Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAmasia ki he tangata ʻae ʻOtua, “Ka ko e hā te mau fai koeʻuhi ko e taleniti ʻe teau ʻaia kuo u tuku ki he tau ʻa ʻIsileli?” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe he tangata ʻae ʻOtua kiate ia, “ʻOku faʻa fai ʻe Sihova ke foaki kiate koe ʻae meʻa lahi hake ʻaupito ʻi he meʻa ni.”
10Then Amaziah separated them, the army that had come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again. Therefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger.
10Pea naʻe toki vaeua ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻAmasia, ʻae tau naʻe haʻu kiate ia mei ʻIfalemi, ke nau toe ʻalu ki honau fonua: ko ia naʻe tupu ʻo lahi ai ʻenau ʻita ki Siuta, pea naʻa nau toe ʻalu ki honau ʻapi ʻi he ʻita lahi.
11Amaziah took courage, and led his people out and went to the Valley of Salt, and struck ten thousand of the children of Seir.
11¶ Pea naʻe fakamālohi ʻe ʻAmasia ia, pea taki atu ʻe ia hono kakai ki he toafa māsima, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻi he fānau ʻa Seia ʻae toko mano.
12The children of Judah carried away ten thousand alive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and threw them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were broken in pieces.
12Pea ko e toko mano ʻe taha naʻe moʻui naʻe puke ʻe he fānau ʻa Siuta ʻo ʻave fakapōpula, pea naʻe ʻohake ʻakinautolu ki he tumutumu ʻoe makatuʻu, ʻo lī ʻakinautolu mei he tumutumu ʻoe maka ki lalo, ko ia naʻe lailai ai ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
13But the men of the army whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell on the cities of Judah from Samaria even to Beth Horon, and struck of them three thousand, and took much plunder.
13¶ Ka ko e kau tangata tau ʻoe tau naʻe fekau ʻe ʻAmasia ke nau foki, ke ʻoua naʻa nau ʻalu mo ia ki he tau, naʻa nau teʻia ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, mei Samēlia ʻo aʻu atu ki Pete-Holoni, pea naʻe teʻia ʻae toko tolu afe ʻokinautolu, ʻo nau fetuku ʻae vete lahi.
14Now after Amaziah had come from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them and burned incense to them.
14¶ Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, hili ʻae liu mai ʻa ʻAmasia mei he tāmateʻi ʻae kakai ʻItomi, naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe fānau ʻa Seia: pea ne fokotuʻu ʻakinautolu ke ne ʻotua aki, pea punou ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne tutu ʻae meʻa nanamu kiate kinautolu.
15Therefore the LORD’s anger burned against Amaziah, and he sent to him a prophet who said to him, “Why have you sought after the gods of the people, which have not delivered their own people out of your hand?”
15Ko ia naʻe tupu ai ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova kia ʻAmasia, pea naʻa ne fekau ʻae palōfita kiate ia, ʻaia naʻe pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā kuo ke kumi ai ki he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kakai, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te nau mafai ke fakamoʻui honau kakai ʻonautolu mei ho nima?”
16As he talked with him, the king said to him, “Have we made you one of the king’s counselors? Stop! Why should you be struck down?” Then the prophet stopped, and said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel.”
16Pea ʻiloange lolotonga ʻa ʻene kei lea kiate ia, naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “He kuo fakakau koe ki he kau fakakaukau ʻae tuʻi?” “Tuku muʻa: he koeʻumaʻā ʻae taaʻi koe?” Pea naʻe tuku ai ʻae palōfita, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou ʻilo kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he ʻOtua ke taaʻi koe, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo fai ʻae meʻa ni, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke tokanga ki heʻeku akonaki.”
17Then Amaziah king of Judah consulted his advisers, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come! Let’s look one another in the face.”
17¶ Pea naʻe toki kumi ʻae fakakaukau ʻe ʻAmasia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea ne fekau atu kia Soasi, ko e foha ʻo Sihoaasi, ko e foha ʻo Sehu ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “Haʻu ke tā fesiofaki pe ʻakitaua.”
18Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as his wife. Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by and trampled down the thistle.
18Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Soasi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia ʻAmasia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo pehē, “Ko e talatalaʻāmoa naʻe ʻi Lepanoni naʻe fekau ki he sita naʻe ʻi Lepanoni, ʻo pehē, ‘Foaki mai ho ʻofefine ki hoku foha ke na fakamaʻu:’ pea naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae manu kai vao naʻe ʻi Lepanoni, pea malaki hifo ʻae talatalaʻāmoa.
19You say to yourself that you have struck Edom; and your heart lifts you up to boast. Now stay at home. Why should you meddle with trouble, that you should fall, even you and Judah with you?’”
19ʻOku ke lau, Vakai, kuo ke teʻia ʻae kakai ʻItomi: pea kuo fakahikihiki koe ʻe ho loto ke vikiviki: ka ke nofo koe eni ki ʻapi: koeʻumaʻā hoʻo kau ke ke kovi ai, ke ke hinga ai, ʻio, ʻa koe, mo Siuta foki mo koe?”
20But Amaziah would not listen; for it was of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought after the gods of Edom.
20Ka naʻe ʻikai tokanga ʻe ʻAmasia ki ai he naʻe mei he ʻOtua ia, koeʻuhi ke ne tukuange ia ki he nima ʻo honau ngaahi fili , ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau kumi ki he ngaahi ʻotua ʻo ʻItomi.
21So Joash king of Israel went up, and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
21Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻa Soasi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli: pea na fesiofaki ʻakinaua, ʻio, ʻaia mo ʻAmasia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻi Pete-Semesi, ʻaia ʻoku kau ki Siuta.
22Judah was defeated by Israel; so every man fled to his tent.
22Pea naʻe fakatuʻutāmaki ʻa Siuta ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻa nau hola taki taha ʻae tangata ki hono fale fehikitaki.
23Joash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth Shemesh and brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
23Pea naʻe puke ʻe Soasi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻa ʻAmasia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ko e foha ʻo Soasi, ko e foha ʻo Sihoaasi, ʻi Pete-Semesi, ʻo ne ʻomi ia ki Selūsalema, pea naʻa ne holoki hifo ʻae ʻā maka ʻo Selūsalema mei he matapā ʻo ʻIfalemi ki he matapā ʻi he tuliki ʻā, ko e hanga ʻe valungeau.
24He took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in God’s house with Obed-Edom, and the treasures of the king’s house, and the hostages, and returned to Samaria.
24Pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻae koula kotoa pē mo e siliva, mo e ngaahi ipu kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua ia ʻOpeti-ʻItomi, pea mo e ngaahi koloa ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi, mo e kau fakamoʻoni foki, pea tafoki ia ʻo ʻalu ki Samēlia.
25Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived for fifteen years after the death of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
25¶ Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa ʻAmasia ko e foha ʻo Soasi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta hili ʻae pekia ʻa Soasi ko e foha ʻo Sihoaasi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma nima.
26Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, aren’t they written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?
26Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngāue ʻa ʻAmasia, ko e ʻuluaki mo e ki mui, vakai, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta mo ʻIsileli?
27Now from the time that Amaziah turned away from following the LORD, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. He fled to Lachish, but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.
27¶ Pea hili ʻae kuonga naʻe tafoki ai ʻa ʻAmasia mei he muimui ʻia Sihova naʻa nau teu lapa kiate ia ʻi Selūsalema: pea naʻe hola ia ki Lakisi: ka naʻa nau fekau ʻo tuli ia ki Lakisi, pea naʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻi ai.
28They brought him on horses and buried him with his fathers in the City of Judah.
28Pea naʻa nau fakaheka ia ki he fanga hoosi, pea nau tanu ia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he kolo ʻo Siuta.
