2 Kings 4
1 Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead. You know that your servant feared Yahweh. Now the creditor has come to take for himself my two children to be slaves.”
Na i tangi tetahi o nga wahine a nga tama a nga poropiti ki a Eriha, i mea, Kua mate tau pononga, taku tahu; a e mohio ana koe i wehi tau pononga i a Ihowa: na kua tae mai te kaiwhakatarewa moni ki te tango i aku tama tokorua hei pononga mana.
2 Elisha said to her, “What should I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She said, “Your servant has nothing in the house, except a pot of oil.”
Na ka mea a Eriha ki a ia, Ko te aha kia meatia e ahau mau? whakaaturia mai; he aha tau i roto i te whare? Ano ra ko tera, Kahore he mea a tau pononga i roto i te whare, heoti rawa he pata hinu.
3 Then he said, “Go, borrow empty containers from all your neighbors. Don’t borrow just a few containers.
Katahi ia ka mea, Haere, tonoa etahi oko mau i waho, i ou hoa tata katoa, hei nga oko tahanga; kei torutoru.
4 Go in and shut the door on you and on your sons, and pour oil into all those containers; and set aside those which are full.”
A ka haere koe ki roto, ka tutaki i te tatau ki a koutou ko au tama, a ka riringi ki aua oko katoa; a me waiho ake i rahaki te mea kua ki.
5 So she went from him, and shut the door on herself and on her sons. They brought the containers to her, and she poured oil.
Na haere ana ia, a tutakina ana te tatau ki a ratou ko ana tama; a kawea ana mai nga oko ki a ia, a ko ia hei riringi ki roto.
6 When the containers were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another container.” He said to her, “There isn’t another container.” Then the oil stopped flowing.
A, ka ki nga oko, ka mea atu ia ki tana tama, Mauria mai ano he oko ki ahau. A ka mea tera ki a ia, Kahore atu he oko. Na mutu ake te hinu.
7 Then she came and told the man of God. He said, “Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.”
Katahi ia ka haere, ka korero ki te tangata a te Atua. Ano ra ko tera, Haere, hokona taua hinu, ka utu i tau moni tarewa, a ko te toenga hei oranga mo koutou ko au tama.
8 One day Elisha went to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman; and she persuaded him to eat bread. So it was, that as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread.
Na i tetahi ra ka haere a Eriha ki Huneme, i reira hoki tetahi wahine nui; a tohea ana e tera kia kai taro ia. Na reira, i ona haerenga katoa atu ma reira, peka ai ia ki reira ki te kai taro.
9 She said to her husband, “See now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God who passes by us continually.
Na ka mea tera ki tana tahu, Nana, e mohio ana ahau he tangata tapu na te Atua tenei e kopikopiko nei ma to taua wahi.
10 Please, let’s make a little room on the roof. Let’s set a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp stand for him there. When he comes to us, he can stay there.”
Me hanga e tatou tetahi ruma nohinohi ki runga i te taiepa; a me whakapai he moenga mona ki reira, he tepu, he nohoanga, he turanga rama; mo tona haere mai ki a tatou, na ka peka ki reira.
11 One day he came there, and he went to the room and lay there.
Na i tetahi ra ka tae mai ia ki reira, a peka ana ki taua ruma, takoto ana ki reira.
12 He said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” When he had called her, she stood before him.
Na ka mea ia ki tana tangata, ki a Kehati, Karangatia te Hunami nei. Na karangatia ana e ia, a tu ana tera ki tona aroaro.
13 He said to him, “Say now to her, ‘Behold, you have cared for us with all this care. What is to be done for you? Would you like to be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the army?’” She answered, “I dwell among my own people.”
Na ka mea ia ki te tangata, Mea atu ki a ia, Nana, Nau katoa enei whakaaro i whakaaro mai ki a maua; ko te aha kia meatia mau? e mea ana ranei koe kia korerotia koe ki te kingi, ki te rangatira ope ranei? Ano ra ko tera, Kei waenganui nei ahau i toku iwi e noho ana.
14 He said, “What then is to be done for her?” Gehazi answered, “Most certainly she has no son, and her husband is old.”
Na ka mea ia, Ko te aha ra kia meatia mana? Ano ra ko Kehati, Hore rawa ana tama, he koroheke ano hoki tana tahu.
15 He said, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in the door.
Na ka mea ake ia, Karangatia ia. Na karangatia ana ia e ia, a tu ana tera i te kuwaha.
16 He said, “At this season next year, you will embrace a son.” She said, “No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your servant.”
Na ka mea ia, Kei tenei wa, kia taka mai ano te wa, ka awhi koe i te tama. Ano ra ko tera, Kaua, e toku ariki, e te tangata a te Atua, kaua e teka ki tau pononga wahine.
17 The woman conceived, and bore a son at that season when the time came around, as Elisha had said to her.
A ka hapu te wahine ra, a ka whanau he tama i taua wa, i te takanga mai ano, i ta Eriha i korero ai ki a ia.
18 When the child was grown, one day he went out to his father to the reapers.
A, ka kaumatua te tamaiti, i tetahi ra ka haere ia ki tona papa ki nga kaikotikoti.
19 He said to his father, “My head! My head!” He said to his servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
Na ka mea ia ki tona papa, Toku matenga! toku matenga! Na ka mea tera ki tetahi taitama, Kawea ki tona whaea.
20 When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees until noon, and then died.
A, no tana mauranga i a ia, a ka tae ki tona whaea, ka noho ia i runga i ona turi, a poutumaro noa te ra; katahi ka mate.
21 She went up and laid him on the man of God’s bed, and shut the door on him, and went out.
Na haere ana ia ki runga, whakatakotoria ana ia ki te moenga o te tangata a te Atua, a tutakina ana tera e ia ki roto, puta ana ki waho.
22 She called to her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and come again.”
Na ka karanga ia ki tana tahu, ka mea, Tena, unga mai tetahi o nga taitama na ki ahau, me tetahi o nga kaihe, kia rere ai ahau ki te tangata a te Atua, ka hoki mai ai.
23 He said, “Why would you want to go to him today? It is not a new moon or a Sabbath.” She said, “It’s all right.”
Ano ra ko tera, He aha koe i haere ai ki a ia inaianei? ehara nei hoki i te kowhititanga marama, i te hapati ranei. Ka mea ia, He pai.
24 Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, “Drive, and go forward! Don’t slow down for me, unless I ask you to.”
Katahi ka whakanohoia e ia te kaihe, a ka mea ki tana tangata, Arahina atu, haere tonu; kaua e whakangawaritia tau rere moku, kia mea atu ra ano ahau ki a koe.
25 So she went, and came to the man of God to Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her afar off, he said to Gehazi his servant, “Behold, there is the Shunammite.
Na haere ana ia, a ka tae ki te tangata a te Atua, ki Maunga Karamere. A, no te kitenga atu o te tangata a te Atua i a ia i tawhiti, ka mea ia ki tana tangata ki a Kehati, Nana, ko te Hunami ra:
26 Please run now to meet her, and ask her, ‘Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with your child?’” She answered, “It is well.”
Na, rere atu ki te whakatau i a ia, ka mea ki a ia, Kei te pai ranei koe? kei te pai tau tahu? kei te pai ranei te tamaiti? Ano ra ko ia, Kei te pai.
27 When she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for her soul is troubled within her; and Yahweh has hidden it from me, and has not told me.”
A, no tona taenga ki te tangata a te Atua, ki te puke, hopukia ana e ia ona waewae. Na ka haere a Kehati ki te pana i a ia. Otiia ka mea te tangata a te Atua, Waiho ra, e mamae ana hoki tona ngakau; i huna hoki tenei e Ihowa i ahau, kihai i whak aaturia ki ahau.
28 Then she said, “Did I ask you for a son, my lord? Didn’t I say, ‘Do not deceive me’?”
Katahi ka mea tera, I tonoa ranei e ahau tetahi tama i toku ariki? kihai ianei ahau i mea, Kaua ahau e tinihangatia?
29 Then he said to Gehazi, “Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand, and go your way. If you meet any man, don’t greet him; and if anyone greets you, don’t answer him again. Then lay my staff on the child’s face.”
Katahi ia ka mea ki a Kehati, Whitikiria tou hope, maua atu hoki taku tokotoko i tou ringa, a haere: ki te tutaki koe ki te tangata, kaua e owha ki a ia; ki te owha tetahi ki a koe, kaua e whakahoki kupu ki a ia; a whakatakotoria taku tokotoko k i te mata o te tamaiti.
30 The child’s mother said, “As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” So he arose, and followed her.
Na ka mea te whaea o te tamaiti, E ora ana a Ihowa, e ora ana hoki tou wairua, e kore ahau e whakarere i a koe. Na whakatika ana ia, haere ana i muri i te wahine.
31 Gehazi went ahead of them, and laid the staff on the child’s face; but there was no voice and no hearing. Therefore he returned to meet him, and told him, “The child has not awakened.”
Na ko Kehati kua pahemo i mua i a raua, a whakatakotoria ana e ia te tokotoko ki te mata o te tamaiti; otiia kahore he reo, kahore hoki he ohonga ake. Heoi hoki ana ia ki te whakatau i a ia, a ka korero ki a ia, ka mea, Kihai i korikori te tamai ti.
32 When Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and lying on his bed.
A, no te taenga o Eriha ki te whare, na, kua mate te tamaiti, e takoto ana i tona moenga
33 He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both, and prayed to Yahweh.
Heoi haere ana ia ki roto, tutakina ana mai te tatu ki a raua tokorua, kei te inoi i a Ihowa.
34 He went up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. He stretched himself on him; and the child’s flesh grew warm.
Na piki ana ia ki runga, a takoto ana ki runga ki te tamaiti, a meatia iho ana tana mangai ki te pera, ona kanohi ki runga ki o tera kanohi, ona ringa ki runga ki o tera ringa; na wharoro ana ia ki runga ki a ia; na kua mahana haere nga kiko o t e tamaiti.
35 Then he returned, and walked in the house once back and forth, then went up and stretched himself out on him. Then the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
Katahi ia ka hoki iho, ka haere a roto i te whare, Kotahi kopikotanga; a ka piki ki runga, ka wharoro ki runga ki a ia: na kua tihe te tamaiti, e whitu nga tihetanga, kua titiro nga kanohi o te tamaiti.
36 He called Gehazi, and said, “Call this Shunammite!” So he called her. When she had come in to him, he said, “Take up your son.”
Katahi tera ka karanga ki a Kehati, ka mea, Karangatia te Hunami nei. Heoi karangatia ana e ia. No te taenga mai o tera ki a ia, ka mea ia, Tangohia tau tama.
37 Then she went in, fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; then she picked up her son, and went out.
Katahi ka haere mai tera, ka hinga ki ona waewae, piko ana ki te whenua; na hapainga ana e ia tana tama, puta atu ana.
38 Elisha came again to Gilgal. There was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said to his servant, “Get the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.”
Na ka tae ano a Eriha ki Kirikara; a he matekai i te whenua; a i tona aroaro nga tama a nga poropiti e noho ana: a ka mea ia ki tana tangata, Whakaekea te kohua nui, kohuatia he kai ma nga tama a nga poropiti.
39 One went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered a lap full of wild gourds from it, and came and cut them up into the pot of stew; for they didn’t recognize them.
Na ka haere tetahi ki te parae ki te kohi puwha, ka kite i te hue maori, ka kohia e ia he hue maori, ki tonu tona kakahu; haere ana, katokatohia ana ki roto ki te kohua, ki nga mea i kohuatia ra: kihai hoki i mohiotia e ratou.
40 So they poured out for the men to eat. As they were eating some of the stew, they cried out and said, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!” And they could not eat it.
Heoi ringihia ana e ratou hei kai ma nga tangata. Heoi, i a ratou e kai ana i te mea i kohuatia ra, ka karanga ratou, ka mea, He mate kei roto i te kohua, e te tangata a te Atua! Na kihai i taea te kai.
41 But he said, “Then bring meal.” He threw it into the pot; and he said, “Serve it to the people, that they may eat.” And there was nothing harmful in the pot.
Otiia i mea ia, Tena, kawea mai he paraoa. Na maka ana e ia ki roto ki te kohua; a ka mea ia, Ringihia ma te hunga nei, kia kai ratou. Na kua kore he he i roto i te kohua.
42 A man from Baal Shalishah came, and brought the man of God some bread of the first fruits: twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. Elisha said, “Give to the people, that they may eat.”
Na ka tae mai tetahi tangata o Paarahariha, ka mauria mai he taro matamua ma te tangata a te Atua, e rua tekau nga taro, he mea parei, me etahi hua witi i roto i tana kopaki. A ka mea ia, Hoatu ki te hunga nei, kia kai ratou.
43 His servant said, “What, should I set this before a hundred men?” But he said, “Give it to the people, that they may eat; for Yahweh says, ‘They will eat, and will have some left over.’”
Ano ra ko tana tuari, Ha, me hoatu ranei tenei e ahau ma nga tangata kotahi rau? Ano ra ko ia, Hoatu ma te iwi, kia kai ratou; ko ta Ihowa kupu hoki tenei, Ka kai ratou, a toe ake.
44 So he set it before them and they ate and had some left over, according to Yahweh’s word.
Heoi hoatu ana e ia ki to ratou aroaro, a kainga ana e ratou, a toe ake; i rite tonu ki ta Ihowa kupu.
