18 ʻI he taʻu hono tolu ʻo e pule ʻa Hōsia+ ko e foha ʻo ʻEla ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsilelí, naʻe hoko ai ko e tuʻi ʻa Hesekaia+ ko e foha ʻo Tuʻi ʻĀhasi+ ʻo Siutá. 2 Naʻá ne taʻu 25 ʻi heʻene hoko ko e tuʻí, pea naʻá ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe 29 ʻi Selusalema. Ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻeé ko ʻApi* ko e ʻofefine ʻo Sākalaia.+ 3 Naʻá ne hanganaki fai ʻa e meʻa naʻe totonú ʻi he vakai mai ʻa Sihová,+ ʻo hangē tofu pē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe heʻene kui ko Tēvitá.+ 4 Ko ia ʻa e tokotaha naʻá ne toʻo ʻa e ngaahi potu māʻolungá,+ mo haveki ʻa e ngaahi pou maka toputapú, pea mo tā hifo ʻa e pou ʻakau toputapú.*+ Naʻá ne laiki foki ʻa e ngata kopa naʻe faʻu ʻe Mōsesé;+ he ʻi he aʻu mai ki he taimi ko iá naʻe fai ki ai ʻe he kakai ʻo ʻIsilelí ha feilaulau fakakohu pea naʻe faʻa ui ia ko e ngata kopa ʻaitolí.* 5 Naʻe tuku ʻene falalá kia Sihova+ ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí; naʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻe tatau mo ia ʻi he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa ʻo Siuta ki mui aí pea ʻi he faʻahinga ko ia ʻi muʻa ʻiate iá. 6 Naʻá ne pīkitai kia Sihova.+ Naʻe ʻikai te ne tafoki mei he muimui kiate iá; naʻe hokohoko atu ʻene tauhi ʻa e ngaahi fekau naʻe ʻoange ʻe Sihova kia Mōsesé. 7 Pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻa Sihova. Ko ha feituʻu pē naʻe ʻalu ki ai, naʻá ne fai fakapotopoto ai. Naʻá ne angatuʻu ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsīliá pea fakafisi ke tauhi kiate ia.+ 8 Naʻá ne ikunaʻi foki ʻa e kau Filisitiá+ ʻo aʻu atu ki Kesa mo hono ngaahi vahefonuá, mei he taua leʻó ki he kolo fakakolotaú.*
9 ʻI he taʻu hono fā ʻo e pule ʻa Tuʻi Hesekaiá, ʻa ia, ko e taʻu hono fitu ia ʻo e pule ʻa Hōsia+ ko e foha ʻo ʻEla ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsilelí, naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻa Tuʻi Salimanesa ʻo ʻAsīliá ke tauʻi ʻa Samēlia pea kamata ke ne ʻākoloʻi ia.+ 10 Naʻa nau hamu ia+ ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻa e taʻu ʻe tolú; ʻi he taʻu hono ono ʻo e pule ʻa Hesekaiá, ʻa ia ko e taʻu hono hiva ia ʻo e pule ʻa Tuʻi Hōsia ʻo ʻIsilelí, naʻe hamu ai ʻa Samēliá. 11 Pea naʻe ʻave fakamālohi+ ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsīliá ʻa ʻIsileli ki ʻAsīlia pea fakanofonofo kinautolu ʻi Hala mo Hapoa ʻi he veʻe vaitafe Kōsaní pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo e kau Mītiá.+ 12 Naʻe hoko ení koeʻuhí naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko honau ʻOtuá ka naʻa nau hanganaki maumauʻi ʻene fuakavá, ʻa e meʻa kotoa naʻe fekauʻi ʻe Mōsese ko e sevāniti ʻa Sihová.+ Naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo pe talangofua ki ai.
13 ʻI he taʻu hono 14 ʻo e pule ʻa Tuʻi Hesekaiá, naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻa Senakalipe ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsīliá+ ke tauʻi ʻa e ngaahi kolo fakakolotau kotoa pē ʻo Siutá pea hamu ia.+ 14 Ko ia naʻe ʻoatu ai ʻe Tuʻi Hesekaia ʻo Siutá ha fekau ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsīliá ki Lākisi: “ʻOku ou halaia. Ke ke holomui mei hoʻo tauʻi aú, pea te u ʻoatu ha meʻa pē te ke kounaʻi meiate aú.” Naʻe kounaʻi ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsīliá ʻa Tuʻi Hesekaia ʻo Siutá ke ne totongi ange ha talēniti* siliva ʻe 300 mo ha talēniti koula ʻe 30. 15 Ko ia naʻe ʻoange ʻe Hesekaia ʻa e siliva kotoa pē naʻe malava ke maʻu ʻi he fale ʻo Sihová pea ʻi he ngaahi tukuʻanga koloa ʻo e fale*+ ʻo e tuʻí. 16 ʻI he taimi ko iá, naʻe toʻo* ai ʻe Hesekaia ʻa e ngaahi matapā ʻo e temipale+ ʻo Sihová pea mo e ngaahi pou matapā naʻe kofu*+ ʻe Tuʻi Hesekaia ʻo Siutá tonu, peá ne ʻoange ia ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsīliá.
17 Naʻe fekauʻi atu leva ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsīliá ʻa e Tātaní,* mo e Lapisalisí,* pea mo e Lapisaké* fakataha mo ha fuʻu kau tau mei Lākisi+ ki Selusalema+ kia Tuʻi Hesekaia. Naʻa nau ʻalu hake ki Selusalema ʻo nau tuʻu ʻi he veʻe fakatafenga vai ʻo e kiʻi vai ʻi ʻolungá, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi he hala lahi ʻo e konga kelekele ʻo e tangata foó.+ 18 ʻI heʻenau ui ke hū mai ki tuʻa ʻa e tuʻí, ko ʻIlaiakimi+ ko e foha ʻo Hilikaiá, ʻa ia naʻá ne tokangaʻi ʻa e falé,* mo Sepinā+ ko e sekelitalí, pea mo Sioa ko e foha ʻo ʻĒsafe ko e tokotaha hiki fakamatalá naʻa nau ʻalu atu kiate kinautolu.
19 Ko ia naʻe pehē ange ʻe he Lapisaké kiate kinautolu: “Kātaki ʻo tala kia Hesekaia, ‘Ko eni ʻa e folofola ʻa e tuʻi lahí, ʻa e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsīliá: “ʻOku makatuʻunga ʻi he hā ʻa hoʻo falalá?+ 20 ʻOkú ke pehē, ‘ʻOku ou maʻu ʻa e poto mo e mālohi ke faitau,’ ka ko e ngaahi lea launoa ia.

Naʻe folofola tonu mai ʻa Sihova kiate au, ‘ʻAlu hake ki he fonuá ni ʻo fakaʻauha ia.’”
26 ʻI he meʻá ni naʻe pehē ange ʻe ʻIlaiakimi ko e foha ʻo Hilikaiá, mo Sepinā,+ pea mo Sioa ki he Lapisaké:+ “Lea mai muʻa ki hoʻo kau sevānití ʻi he lea faka-Alameá,*+ he ʻoku lava ke mau mahinoʻi ia; ʻoua te ke lea mai kiate kimautolu ʻi he lea ʻa e kau Siú ke fanongo ki ai ʻa e kakai ʻoku ʻi he ʻaá.”+ 27 Ka naʻe pehē ange ʻe he Lapisaké kiate kinautolu: “Ko ho ʻeikí pē koā pea mo koe naʻe fekauʻi mai au ʻe hoku ʻeikí ke u leaʻaki ki ai ʻa e ngaahi leá ni? ʻIkai ʻoku toe kau foki ki ai mo e kau tangata ʻoku nau tangutu ʻi he ʻaá, ʻa e faʻahinga te nau kai honau kinohaʻa ʻonautolú mo inu ʻenau tuʻuofi ʻanautolú fakataha mo kimoutolú?”
28 Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻa e Lapisaké ʻo ne kalanga leʻo-lahi atu ʻi he lea ʻa e kau Siú, ʻo pehē: “Fanongo ki he folofola ʻa e tuʻi lahí, ʻa e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsīliá.+ 29 Ko eni ʻa e folofola ʻa e tuʻí, ‘ʻOua naʻa tuku ʻa Hesekaia ke ne kākaaʻi kimoutolu, he ʻoku ʻikai malava ke ne fakahaofi kimoutolu mei hoku nimá.+ 30 Pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ʻa Hesekaia ke ne ʻai kimoutolu ke mou falala kia Sihova ʻi heʻene pehē: “ʻE fakahaofi moʻoni kitautolu ʻe Sihova, pea ko e koló ni ʻe ʻikai tuku ia ki he nima ʻo e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsīliá.”+ 31 ʻOua ʻe fanongo kia Hesekaia, he ko eni ʻa e folofola ʻa e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsīliá: “Fai ha fakamelino mo au pea tukulolo, pea ko e tokotaha taki taha ʻo kimoutolu te ne kai mei hono fuʻu kālepi pē ʻoʻona pea mei hono fuʻu fiki pē ʻoʻona pea te ne inu ʻa e vai mei hono lepa pē ʻoʻona, 32 kae ʻoua ke u ʻalu atu ʻo ʻave kimoutolu ki ha fonua ʻoku hangē ko homou fonuá tonu,+ ko ha fonua ʻo e uite mo e uaine foʻou, ko ha fonua ʻo e mā mo e ngaahi ngoue kālepi, ko ha fonua ʻo e ʻulu ʻōlive mo e hone.
