2 Kings 8
1 After Elisha caused the son of the woman from Shunem [town] to become alive again, he told her that she should leave with her family and live somewhere else for a while, because Yahweh was going to (send a famine/cause food to become very scarce) in the land. He said that the famine would last for seven years.
Na kua korero a Eriha ki te wahine nana nei te tamaiti i whakaorangia e ia, kua mea, Whakatika, haere koutou ko tou whare, a e noho ki tau wahi e noho ai koe: kua karangatia hoki e Ihowa he matekai; a ka pa hoki ki te whenua, e whitu tau.
2 So the woman did what Elisha told her to do. She and her family went to live in [the] Philistia [region] for seven years.
Na ka whakatika taua wahine, ka mea i ta te tangata a te Atua i ki ai: a haere ana ratou ko tona whare, noho ana ki te whenua o nga Pirihitini, e whitu nga tau.
3 After the seven years were ended, they returned to their home. The woman went to the king to request that her house and her land be given back to her.
Na, i te takanga o nga tau e whitu, ka hoki atu taua wahine i te whenua o nga Pirihitini: a haere ana ia ki te karanga ki te kingi mo tona whare, mo tana mara.
4 When she arrived, the king was talking with Gehazi, Elisha’s servant. The king was saying to him, “Tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.”
Na ko te kingi i te korero ki a Kehati, tangata a te tangata a te Atua; i mea hoki ia, Tena, korerotia mai ki ahau nga mahi nunui katoa i mea ai a Eriha.
5 While Gehazi was telling the king that Elisha had caused the son of a woman [from Shunem] to become alive again, that woman came in and requested the king to enable her to get her house and land back again. Gehazi exclaimed, “Your Majesty, this is the woman whose son Elisha caused to become alive again!”
A, i a ia e korero ana ki te kingi i tana whakaoranga i te tupapaku, na, ko te wahine nana nei te tamaiti i whakaorangia e ia i te mate, e karanga ana ki te kingi mo tona whare, mo tana mara. Na ka mea a Kehati, E toku ariki, e te kingi, koia ten ei te wahine, a ko tana tama tenei i whakaorangia ra e Eriha.
6 When the king asked her about it, she told him [that what Gehazi had said was true]. The king summoned one of his officials and said to him, “[I want] everything that this woman possessed previously, including the value of all the crops that have been harvested during these last seven years while she was away from her land, [to] be given back to her.” [So the official did that].
A, i te uinga a te kingi ki te wahine ra, ka korerotia e ia ki a ia. Heoi ka tukua e te kingi ki a ia tetahi o nga rangatira, ka mea, Whakahokia ana mea katoa, me nga hua katoa o te mara mai o te ra i mahue ai i a ia te whenua a mohoa noa nei.
7 Elisha went to Damascus, [the capital of Syria], when Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, was [very] sick. When someone told the king that Elisha was in Damascus,
A i haere a Eriha ki Ramahiku; a e mate ana a Peneharara kingi o Hiria; na ka whakaaturia ki a ia, ka korerotia, Kua tae mai te tangata a te Atua ki konei.
8 the king told [one of his officials named] Hazael, “Go and talk to that prophet and take a present/gift with you to give to him. Request him to ask Yahweh if I will recover from my illness.”
Na ka mea atu te kingi ki a Hataere, Maua atu tetahi hakari i tou ringa, ka haere ki te whakatau i te tangata a te Atua, ka ui ki ta Ihowa ki a ia, ka mea, E ora ranei ahau i tenei mate?
9 So Hazael went to talk with Elisha. He took with him forty camels that were carrying many kinds of goods that were produced in Damascus. When Hazael met him, he said to him, “Your friend Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, sent me to ask you whether [you think] he will recover from his illness.”
Na haere ana a Hataere ki te whakatau i a ia, me te mau ano he hakari i tona ringa, i etahi o nga mea papai katoa o Ramahiku, he kawenga na nga kamera e wha tekau, a ka tae, ka tu i tona aroaro, ka mea, Na tau tama, na Peneharara kingi o Hiria ah au i unga mai ki a koe, hei mea, E ora ranei ahau i tenei mate?
10 Elisha said to Hazael, “Go and say to him, ‘Yes, you will certainly not die from this illness,’ but Yahweh has shown me that he will certainly die [before he recovers].”
Ano ra ko Eriha ki a ia, Haere, mea atu ki a ia, E ora ano koe; otiia kua oti i a Ihowa te whakakite mai ki ahau, tera ia e mate.
11 Then Elisha stared at him and had a terrified look on his face. That caused Hazael to feel uneasy/embarrassed. Then [suddenly] Elisha started to cry.
Na ka whakatau ia i tona mata ki runga ki a ia, u tonu, a whakama noa ia; ko te tino tangihanga o te tangata a te Atua.
12 Hazael said, “Sir, why are you crying?” Elisha replied, “Because [Yahweh has enabled] me [to] know the terrible things that you will do to the people of Israel: You will burn their cities with walls around them, you will kill their fine young men with a sword, you will bash the heads of their children, and you will rip open the bellies of their pregnant women [with a sword].”
Na ka mea a Hataere, Na te aha toku ariki i tangi ai? Ano ra ko ia, No te mea e mohio ana ahau ki te kino e meatia e koe ki nga tama a Iharaira; ko o ratou pa e tahuna e koe ki te ahi, ko a ratou taitamariki e patua e koe ki te hoari, ko a ratou kohungahunga e taia iho e koe, a ko a ratou wahine hapu ka ripiripia e koe.
13 Hazael replied, “I am [as insignificant as] [MET] a dog; (how could I do such things?/I would never do such terrible things!)” [RHQ] Elisha replied, “Yahweh has also revealed to me that you will become the king of Syria.”
Ano ra ko Hataere, Ha! he aha tau pononga, he kuri noa nei, kia meatia e ia tenei mea nui? Ano ra ko Eriha, Kua whakakitea mai e Ihowa ki ahau, ko koe hei kingi mo Hiria.
14 Then Hazael left and returned to his master/boss [the king], who asked him, “What did Elisha say?” He replied, “He told me that you would certainly recover.”
Heoi mawehe atu ana ia i a Eriha, a ka tae ki tona ariki; a ka mea tera ki a ia, I pehea mai te kupu a Eriha ki a koe? Ano ra ko ia, E ki ana ia, tera koe e ora.
15 But the next day, [while the king was sleeping, ] Hazael took a blanket and soaked it in water. Then he spread it on the king’s face [in order that he could not breathe], and he died. Then Hazael became the king of Syria instead of Ben-Hadad.
Na, i te aonga ake, ka mau ia ki te kakahu matotoru, a tukua ana ki te wai, a uhia ana ki tona mata, na kua mate: a ko Hataere te kingi i muri i a ia.
16 After King Joram, the son of Ahab, had been ruling in Israel for almost five years, Jehoshaphat’s son Jehoram became the king of Judah.
I te rima o nga tau o Iorama tama a Ahapa kingi o Iharaira, i a Iehohapata e kingi ana ki a Hura, ka kingi a Iehorama tama a Iehohapata kingi o Hura.
17 He was thirty-two years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eight years.
E toru tekau ma rua ona tau i a ia ka kingi nei, a e waru nga tau i kingi ai ia i Hiruharama.
18 His wife was the daughter of King Ahab. And like everyone in Ahab’s family, he continually did the evil things that the previous kings of Israel had done. He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil.
Na haere ana ia i te ara o nga kingi o Iharaira, pera tonu me nga mahi a te whare o Ahapa: i a ia hoki te tamahine a Ahapa hei wahine: a i mahia e ia te mea kino ki ta Ihowa titiro.
19 But Yahweh did not want to get rid of the people of Judah, because of what he had promised David, who served him [very well]. He had promised David that his descendants [MET] would always rule Judah.
Otiia kihai a Ihowa i pai ki te whakangaro i a Hura, i whakaaro hoki ki tana pononga, ki a Rawiri, i korero hoki ia ki a ia, ka hoatu e ia ki a ia he rama ma ana tamariki mo nga ra katoa.
20 During the time that Jehoram ruled, [the king of] Edom rebelled against Judah, and they appointed their own king.
I ona ra ka maunu a Eroma i raro i te ringa o Hura, a whakakingitia ana he kingi mo ratou.
21 So Jehoram went with his army and all their chariots to Zair [city near the border of Edom]. There the army of Edom surrounded them. But during the night, Jehoram and the commanders in their chariots were able to get through the enemy lines and escaped. And all his soldiers also fled to their homes.
Katahi ka haere a Iorama ki Tairi, me ana hariata katoa i a ia: a whakatika ana ia i te po, a patua iho e ia nga Eromi i karapotia ai ia, ratou ko nga rangatira o nga hariata: e rere ana te iwi ki o ratou teneti.
22 So after that, Edom was no longer controlled by Judah, and it is still like that. During that same time, the people of Libnah [city] also freed themselves from being controlled by Judah.
Heoi i maunu a Eroma i raro i te ringa o Hura a tae noa ki tenei ra. Katahi ka maunu ano hoki a Ripina i taua wa.
23 [If you want to read about] the other things that Jehoram did, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Na, ko era atu meatanga a Iorama, me ana mahi katoa, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?
24 Jehoram died [EUP] and was buried where the other kings of Judah had been buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then Jehoram’s son Ahaziah became the king.
Na kua moe a Iorama ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki ona matua ki te pa o Rawiri; a ko Ahatia, ko tana tama te kingi i muri i a ia.
25 After Ahab’s son Joram has been ruling in Israel for almost twelve years, Jehoram’s son Ahaziah became the king of Judah.
Na, i te tekau ma rua o nga tau o Iorama tama a Ahapa kingi o Iharaira, ka kingi a Ahatia tama a Iehorama kingi o Hura.
26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he started to rule. He ruled in Jerusalem for [only] one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, [the daughter of King Ahab and] the granddaughter of King Omri of Israel.
E rua tekau ma rua nga tau o Ahatia i a ia ka kingi nei; a kotahi ona tau i kingi ai i Hiruharama. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Ataria tamahine a Omori kingi o Iharaira.
27 King Ahab conducted his life just like the members of Ahab’s family had done. He did things that Yahweh considered to be very evil.
Na haere ana ia i te ara o te whare o Ahapa, a mahia ana e ia te kino ki te titiro a Ihowa, pera tonu me ta te whare o Ahapa: ko ia hoki te hunaonga o te whare o Ahapa.
28 Ahaziah’s army joined the army of King Joram of Israel to fight against the army of King Hazael of Syria. Their armies started fighting at Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region], and the soldiers of Syria wounded Joram.
Na haere ana ia me Iorama tama a Ahapa ki te whawhai ki a Hataere kingi o Hiria ki Ramoto Kireara: na tu ana a Iorama i nga Hiriani.
29 King Joram returned to Jezreel [city] to recover from his wounds. King Ahaziah went to visit him there.
Na hoki ana a Kingi Iorama ki Ietereere kia rongoatia nga tunga i tu ai ia i nga Hiriani ki Rama, i tana whawhai ki a Hataere kingi o Hiria. A haere ana a Ahatia tama a Iehorama kingi o Hura ki raro kia kite i a Iorama tama a Ahapa ki Ietereere, no te mea e mate ana ia.
