2 Kings 2
1 Now when the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a great wind, Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he te u ʻe Sihova ke toʻo hake ʻa ʻIlaisiā ki loto langi ʻi he ʻahiohio, naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻIlaisiā mo ʻIlaisa mei Kilikali.
2 And Elijah said to Elisha, Come no farther for the Lord has sent me to Beth-el. But Elisha said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went down to Beth-el.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā kia ʻIlaisa, “ʻOku ou kole ke ke tatali koe ʻi heni; he kuo fekauʻi au ʻe Sihova ki Peteli.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku moʻui ho laumālie, pea ʻe ʻikai te u mahuʻi meiate koe.” Pea ko ia naʻa na ʻalu hifo ai ki Peteli.
3 And at Beth-el the sons of the prophets came out to Elisha and said, Has it been made clear to you that the Lord is going to take away your master from over you today? And he said, Yes, I have knowledge of it: say no more.
Pea naʻe hū mai kia ʻIlaisa ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita ʻaia naʻe ʻi Peteli, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻe ʻave ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo ʻeiki mei ho ʻulu he ʻaho ni?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻIo, ʻoku ou ʻilo; ka mou longo pe kimoutolu.”
4 Then Elijah said to him, Come no farther, for the Lord has sent me to Jericho. But he said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went on to Jericho.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā kiate ia, “ʻIlaisa, ʻOku ou kole ke ke tatali ʻi heni; he kuo fekauʻi au ʻe Sihova ki Seliko.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku moʻui ho laumālie, pea ʻe ʻikai te u mahuʻi meiate koe.” Ko ia naʻa na hoko ai ki Seliko.
5 And at Jericho the sons of the prophets came up to Elisha and said to him, Has it been made clear to you that the Lord is going to take away your master from over you today? And he said in answer, Yes, I have knowledge of it: say no more.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita ʻaia naʻe ʻi Seliko kia ʻIlaisa, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻe ʻave ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo ʻeiki mei ho ʻulu he ʻaho ni?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻIo, ʻoku ou ʻilo; ka mou longo pe kimoutolu.”
6 Then Elijah said to him, Come no farther, for the Lord has sent me to Jordan. But he said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went on together.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā kiate ia, “ʻOku ou kole ke ke tatali koe ʻi heni; he kuo fekauʻi au ʻe Sihova ki Sioatani.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku moʻui ho laumālie, pea ʻe ʻikai te u mahuʻi meiate koe.” Pea naʻe ʻalu atu pe ʻakinaua ni.
7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went out and took their places facing them a long way off, while the two of them were by the edge of Jordan.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nimangofulu ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita, ʻonau tutuʻu ke sio mei he mamaʻo: pea naʻe tutuʻu ʻakinaua ʻo feʻunga atu mo Sioatani.
8 Then Elijah took off his robe, and, rolling it up, gave the water a blow with it, and the waters were parted, flowing back this way and that, so that they went over on dry land.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe ʻIlaisiā ʻa hono pulupulu, mo ne takai fakataha ia, mo ne tā ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi vai, pea naʻe vaheua ia, pea ko ia naʻa na ʻalu atu ai ʻi he kelekele mōmoa.
9 And when they had come to the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, Say what you would have me do for you before I am taken from you. And Elisha said, Be pleased to let a special measure of your spirit be on me.
Pea hili ʻena ʻalu ki he kauvai ʻe taha naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā kia ʻIlaisa, “Ke ke tala mai pe ko e hā ha meʻa te u fai maʻau ʻi he teʻeki ʻave au meiate koe.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke ʻiate au ha vāhenga ʻe ua ʻo ho ʻulungāanga ʻoʻou.”
10 And he said, You have made a hard request: still, if you see me when I am taken from you, you will get your desire; but if not, it will not be so.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku faingataʻa ʻae meʻa kuo ke kole ki ai: Ka koeʻuhi, kapau te ke mamata ki he ʻave au meiate koe, ʻe hoko ʻo pehē kiate koe pea kapau ʻe ʻikai, pea ʻe ʻikai hoko ia.”
11 And while they went on their way, going on talking together, suddenly there were carriages and horses of fire separating them from one another and Elijah went up to heaven in a great wind.
Pea vakai, lolotonga ʻa ʻena kei ʻalu atu, mo talanoa, naʻe hā mai ha saliote afi, mo e fanga hoosi ʻoe afi, pea naʻe māvae ai ʻakinaua; pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa ʻIlaisiā ʻi he ʻahiohio ki he langi.
12 And when Elisha saw it he gave a cry, My father, my father, the carriages of Israel and its horsemen! And he saw him no longer; and he was full of grief.
Pea naʻe mamata ki ai ʻa ʻIlaisa, pea naʻa ne kalanga, “ʻA ʻeku tamai, ʻa ʻeku tamai, ko e saliote ʻo ʻIsileli, mo e kau heka hoosi ʻo ia.” Pea naʻe ʻikai toe mamata ia kiate ia: pea naʻa ne puke ʻa hono ngaahi kofu ʻoʻona, mo ne haeua ia.
13 Then he took up Elijah's robe, which had been dropped from him, and went back till he came to the edge of Jordan.
Naʻa ne toʻo hake foki ʻae pulupulu ʻo ʻIlaisiā ʻaia naʻe tō hifo meiate ia, pea ne foki ki mui, mo ne tuʻu ki he kauvai ʻo Sioatani:
14 And he took Elijah's robe, which had been dropped from him, and giving the water a blow with it, said, Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah? and at his blow the waters were parted this way and that; and Elisha went over.
Pea naʻa ne toʻo ʻae pulupulu ʻo ʻIlaisiā ʻaia naʻe tō hifo meiate ia, ʻo ne tā ʻaki ʻae ngaahi vai, mo ne pehē, “Ko fē ia ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIlaisiā?” Pea ʻi heʻene tā foki ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi vai, naʻa nau vahe kehekehe, ka ka ʻalu atu ʻa ʻIlaisa [ki he kauvai ]ʻe taha.
15 And when the sons of the prophets who were facing him at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah is resting on Elisha. And they came out to him, and went down on the earth before him.
Pea ʻi he sio kiate ia ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita ʻaia naʻe ʻalu atu mei Seliko ke mamata, naʻa nau pehē, “Kuo hoko ʻae laumālie ʻo ʻIlaisiā kia ʻIlaisa.” Pea naʻa nau omi ke fetaulaki mai kiate ia, mo nau fakatōmapeʻe hifo kinautolu ki he kelekele ʻi hono ʻao.
16 And they said, Your servants have with us here fifty strong men; be pleased to let them go in search of Elijah; for it may be that the spirit of the Lord has taken him up and put him down on some mountain or in some valley. But he said, Do not send them.
Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Ko eni, vakai, ʻoku ʻi hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae kau tangata mālohi ʻe toko nimangofulu; ʻoku mau kole, ke ke tuku ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu, ʻo kumi ki hoʻo ʻeiki: telia naʻa kuo toʻo hake ia ʻe he Laumālie ʻo Sihova, mo ne lī hifo ia ki ha tumuʻaki moʻunga, pe ki ha teleʻa.” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻE ʻikai te mou fekau [ha niʻihi].”
17 But when they kept on requesting him, he was shamed and said, Send, then. So they sent fifty men; but after searching for three days, they came back without having seen him.
Pea ʻi heʻenau kole fakafiu kiate ia, naʻa ne pehē, “Fekau pe.” Ko ia naʻa nau fekau atu ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nimangofulu; pea naʻa nau kumi ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu, ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia.
18 And they came back to him, while he was still at Jericho; and he said to them, Did I not say to you, Go not?
Pea ʻi heʻenau toe hoko mai kiate ia, (he naʻa ne tatali pe ʻi Seliko, ) naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻIkai naʻaku tala kiate kimoutolu, Ke ʻoua naʻa mou ʻalu?”
19 Now the men of the town said to Elisha, You see that the position of this town is good; but the water is bad, causing the young of the cattle to come to birth dead.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau tangata ʻoe kolo kia ʻIlaisa, “Vakai koe, ʻoku matamatalelei ʻae tuʻuʻanga ʻoe kolo ni, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku sio ki ai ʻa hoku ʻeiki: ka ʻoku kovi ʻa hono vai, pea ʻoku kakā ʻae kelekele.”
20 So he said, Get me a new vessel, and put salt in it; and they took it to him.
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻOmi kiate au ha ipu kelekele foʻou, pea ʻai ha māsima ki ai.” Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ia kiate ia.
21 Then he went out to the spring from which the water came, and put salt in it, and said, The Lord says, Now I have made this water sweet; no longer will it be death-giving or unfertile.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia ki he punaʻanga ʻoe ngaahi vai, mo ne lī ki ai ʻae māsima, mo ne pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Kuo u fakamoʻui ʻae ngaahi vai ni; ʻe ʻikai toe hoko mei ai ha mate pe ha taʻefua.’”
22 And the water was made sweet again to this day, as Elisha said.
Pea pehē, naʻe fakamoʻui ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni, ʻo fakatatau ki he lea naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ʻIlaisiā.
23 Then from there he went up to Beth-el; and on his way, some little boys came out from the town and made sport of him, crying, Go up, old no-hair! go up, old no-hair!
Pea naʻa ne ʻalu hake mei he potu ko ia ki Peteli: pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu hake ʻi he hala, naʻe hū mai mei he kolo ʻae tamaiki iiki, ʻonau manuki kiate ia, mo nau pehē ki ai, “ʻAlu hake, ʻa koe ko e tula; ʻalu hake ʻa koe ko e tula ē.”
24 And turning back, he saw them, and put a curse on them in the name of the Lord. And two she-bears came out of the wood and put forty-two of the children to death.
Pea naʻa ne tangaki ki mui, mo ne sio kiate kinautolu, pea ne fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova. Pea naʻe haʻu mei he vao ʻae ongo pea fefine ʻe ua, ʻo na haehae ʻae fānau ʻe toko fāngofulu ma toko ua ʻiate kinautolu.
25 From there he went to Mount Carmel, and came back from there to Samaria.
Pea naʻa ne ʻalu atu mei he potu ko ia ki he moʻunga ko Kameli, pea naʻa ne foki mai mei ai ki Samēlia.
