2 Kings 7

1 Then Elisha saide, Heare ye the worde of the Lord: thus saith the Lord, To morowe this time a measure of fine floure shalbe solde for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel in the gate of Samaria.

A ka mea a Eriha, Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa: ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kia penei apopo ka hokona he mehua paraoa mo te hekere, nga mehua parei e rua mo te hekere, i te kuwaha o Hamaria.

2 Then a prince, on whose hande the King leaned, answered the man of God, and saide, Though the Lord would make windowes in the heauen, could this thing come to passe? And he said, Beholde, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not eate thereof.

Na ka whakahokia e tetahi rangatira, nona nei te ringa i okioki ai te kingi, ki te tangata a te Atua; i mea ia, Nana, ki te hanga e Ihowa he matapihi ki te rangi, ka rite ranei tenei kupu? Ano ra ko ia, Nana, tera ou kanohi e kite, otira e kore k oe e kai i tetahi wahi o taua mea.

3 Nowe there were foure leprous men at the entring in of the gate: and they saide one to an other, Why sitte we here vntill we die?

Na tera etahi tangata tokowha, he repera, i te kuwaha o te keti: a ka mea ratou tetahi ki tetahi, He aha tatou i noho ai i konei a kia mate raano tatou?

4 If we say, We will enter into the citie, the famine is in the citie, and we shall die there: and if we sit here, we dye also. Nowe therefore come, and let vs fall into the campe of the Aramites: if they saue our liues, we shall liue: and if they kill vs, we are but dead.

Ki te mea tatou, Tatou ka tomo ki te pa, na ko te matekai kei roto i te pa, a ka mate tatou ki reira: a, ki te noho tatou i konei, ka mate ano tatou. Na, kia haere tatou aianei, kia auraki atu ki te ope o nga Hiriani: ki te whakaorangia tatou e r atou, ka ora tatou: ki te whakamatea, heoi ano, ka mate.

5 So they rose vp in the twilight, to goe to the campe of the Aramites: and when they were come to the vtmost part of the campe of the Aramites, loe, there was no man there.

Na maranga ana ratou i te mea ka kakarauri, haere ana ki te puni o nga Hiriani: a, no to ratou taenga ki te pito o te puni o nga Hiriani, na kahore o reira tangata.

6 For the Lord had caused the campe of the Aramites to heare a noyse of charets and a noise of horses, and a noise of a great armie, so that they sayde one to another, Beholde, the King of Israel hath hired against vs the Kings of the Hittites, and the Kings of the Egyptians to come vpon vs.

Na te Ariki hoki i mea kia rongo te ope o nga Hiriani i te haruru hariata, i te haruru hoiho, i te haruru hoki o tetahi ope nui: a ka mea ratou tetahi ki tetahi, Nana, kua utua nga kingi o nga Hiti me nga kingi o nga Ihipiana e te kingi o Iharair a hei whawhai ki a tatou, kia huaki mai ki a tatou.

7 Wherefore they arose, and fled in the twilight, and left their tentes and their horses, and their asses, euen the campe as it was, and fledde for their liues.

Na whakatika ana ratou, rere ana i te mea ka kakarauri, a whakarerea ake o ratou teneti, a ratou hoiho, a ratou kaihe, me nga aha noa o te puni, a rere ana, he wehi kei mate.

8 And when these lepers came to the vtmost part of the campe, they entred into one tent, and did eate and drinke, and caryed thence siluer and golde, and raiment, and went and hid it: after they returned, and entred into another tent, and caryed thence also, and went and hid it.

Na, i te taenga o aua repera ki te pito o te puni, ka tomo ki tetahi teneti, kei te kai, kei te inu, a mauria atu ana te hiriwa i reira, me te koura, me te kakahu, a haere ana, huna ana; na ka hoki ano, ka tomo ki tetahi atu teneti, a ka tango an o i reira, a haere ana, huna ana.

9 Then saide one to another, We doe not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we holde our peace. if we tary till day light, some mischiefe will come vpon vs. Nowe therefore, come, let vs goe, and tell the Kings housholde.

Na ka mea ratou tetahi ki tetahi, Kahore i te pai ta tatou e mea nei: he ra rongo pai tenei ra, a kei te noho wahangu tatou: ki te tatari tatou kia marama te ata, tera tatou e rokohanga e te he: na reira hoake, ka haere tatou, ka korero ki te wha re o te kingi.

10 So they came, and called vnto the porters of the citie, and tolde them, saying, We came to the campe of the Aramites, and loe, there was no man there, neither voyce of man, but horses tyed and asses tyed: and the tents are as they were.

Heoi haere ana ratou, karanga ana ki te kaitiaki o te kuwaha o te pa: a ka whakaatu ki a ratou, ka mea, I tae matou ki te puni o nga Hiriani, na kahore he tangata o reira, kahore he reo tangata, engari ko nga hoiho anake e here ana, me nga kaihe e here ana, a ko nga teneti e tu ana ano.

11 And the porters cryed and declared to the Kings house within.

Na karangatia ana e ia nga kaitiaki o te kuwaha; a na ratou i korero ki te whare o te kingi i roto atu.

12 Then the King arose in the night, and saide vnto his seruants, I wil shew you now, what the Aramites haue done vnto vs. They know that we are affamished, therefore they are gone out of the campe to hide them selues in the fielde, saying, When they come out of the citie, we shall catch them aliue, and get into the citie.

Na ka whakatika te kingi i te po, a ka mea ki ana tangata, Maku e whakaatu ki a koutou ta nga Hiriani i mea ai ki a tatou. E mohio ana ratou e mate ana tatou i te kai; koia ratou i haere atu ai i te puni ki te parae piri ai, e ki ana, Ki te puta mai ratou i te pa, ka hopukia oratia ratou e tatou, a ka uru tatou ki te pa.

13 And one of his seruants answered, and said, Let me take now fiue of the horses that remaine, and are left in the citie, (behold, they are euen as all the multitude of Israel that are left therein: beholde, I say, they are as the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed) and we wil send to see.

Na ka whakahoki tetahi o ana tangata, ka mea, Tangohia oti e etahi kia rima o nga hoiho e toe nei, i mahue nei ki te pa; nana, penei tonu ratou me te huihui katoa o Iharaira kua mahue nei ki konei; nana, rite tonu ratou ki te huihui katoa o Ihar aira kua moti nei: a tonoa atu ratou e tatou kia kite.

14 So they tooke two charets of horses, and the King sent after the hoste of the Aramites, saying, Goe and see.

Na tangohia ana e ratou etahi hoiho hariata, e rua, a unga ana e te kingi ki te whai i te ope o nga Hiriani, a i mea ia, Tikina, tirohia.

15 And they went after them vnto Iorden, and loe, all the way was full of clothes and vessels which the Aramites had cast from them in their hast: and the messengers returned, and told ye King.

Na haere ana ratou ki te whai i a ratou a Horano ra ano. Na kapi tonu te huarahi katoa i te kakahu, i nga mea i rukea atu e nga Hiriani i to ratou ponana. Na hoki ana aua tangata ki te korero ki te kingi.

16 Then the people went out and spoyled the campe of the Aramites: so a measure of fine floure was at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel according to the word of the Lord.

Na ka puta te iwi ki waho, kei te pahua i te puni o nga Hiriani. Heoi hokona ana te mehua paraoa mo te hekere, me nga mehua parei e rua mo te hekere, i rite tonu ki ta Ihowa kupu.

17 And the King gaue the prince (on whose hande he leaned) the charge of the gate, and the people trode vpon him in the gate, and he dyed, as the man of God had saide, which spake it, when the King came downe to him.

A i whakaritea e te kingi ko te rangatira i okioki atu nei ia ki tona ringa hei rangatira mo te kuwaha: na takahia iho ia e te iwi ki te kuwaha, a mate ake, i rite tonu ki ta te tangata a te Atua i korero ai, ki tana i korero ra i te haerenga ih o o te kingi ki raro, ki a ia.

18 And it came to passe, as the man of God had spoken to the King, saying, Two measures of barley at a shekel, and a measure of fine floure shall be at a shekel, to morowe about this time in the gate of Samaria.

I rite tonu ano ki ta te tangata a te Atua i korero ai ki te kingi, i mea ai, E rua nga mehua parei mo te hekere, kotahi ano hoki mehua paraoa mo te hekere i te kuwaha o Hamaria i te wa penei apopo;

19 But the prince had answered the man of God, and saide, Though the Lord would make windowes in the heauen, coulde it come so to passe? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not eate thereof.

Na ka utua e taua rangatira ki te tangata a te Atua, i mea ia, Nana, ki te hanga e Ihowa he matapihi ki te rangi, ka rite ranei tenei kupu? Na ka mea tera, Nana, tera ou kanohi na e kite; otiia e kore tetahi wahi o taua mea e kainga e koe;

20 And so it came vnto him: for the people trode vpon him in the gate, and he dyed.

I pera tonu te meatanga ki a ia; i takahia hoki ia e te iwi ki te kuwaha, a mate iho ia.
