2 Kingi 4

1 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.

And a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets hath cried unto Elisha, saying, 'Thy servant, my husband, is dead, and thou hast known that thy servant was fearing Jehovah, and the lender hath come to take my two children to him for servants.'

2 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.

And Elisha saith unto her, 'What do I do for thee? declare to me, what hast thou in the house?' and she saith, 'Thy maid-servant hath nothing in the house except a pot of oil.'

3 Katahi ia ka mea, Haere, tonoa etahi oko mau i waho, i ou hoa tata katoa, hei nga oko tahanga; kei torutoru.

And he saith, 'Go, ask for thee vessels from without, from all thy neighbours — empty vessels — let [them] not be few;

4 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.

and thou hast entered, and shut the door upon thee, and upon thy sons, and hast poured out into all these vessels, and the full ones thou dost remove.'

5 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.

And she goeth from him, and shutteth the door upon her, and upon her sons; they are bringing nigh unto her, and she is pouring out,

6 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.

and it cometh to pass, at the filling of the vessels, that she saith unto her son, 'Bring nigh unto me a vessel more,' and he saith unto her, 'There is not a vessel more;' and the oil stayeth.

7 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.

And she cometh and declareth to the man of God, and he saith, 'Go, sell the oil, and repay thy loan; and thou [and] thy sons do live of the rest.'

8 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.

And the day cometh that Elisha passeth over unto Shunem, and there [is] a great woman, and she layeth hold on him to eat bread, and it cometh to pass, at the time of his passing over, he turneth aside thither to eat bread,

9 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.

and she saith unto her husband, 'Lo, I pray thee, I have known that a holy man of God he is, passing over by us continually;

10 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.

let us make, I pray thee, a little upper chamber of the wall, and we set for him there a bed, and a table, and a high seat, and a candlestick; and it hath been, in his coming in unto us, he doth turn aside thither.'

11 Na i tetahi ra ka tae mai ia ki reira, a peka ana ki taua ruma, takoto ana ki reira.

And the day cometh, that he cometh in thither, and turneth aside unto the upper chamber, and lieth there,

12 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.

and he saith unto Gehazi his young man, 'Call for this Shunammite;' and he calleth for her, and she standeth before him.

13 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.

And he saith to him, 'Say, I pray thee, unto her, Lo, thou hast troubled thyself concerning us with all this trouble; what — to do for thee? is it to speak for thee unto the king, or unto the head of the host?' and she saith, 'In the midst of my people I am dwelling.'

14 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.

And he saith, 'And what — to do for her?' and Gehazi saith, 'Verily she hath no son, and her husband [is] aged.'

15 Na ka mea ake ia, Karangatia ia. Na karangatia ana ia e ia, a tu ana tera i te kuwaha.

And he saith, 'Call for her;' and he calleth for her, and she standeth at the opening,

16 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.

and he saith, 'At this season, according to the time of life, thou art embracing a son;' and she saith, 'Nay, my lord, O man of God, do not lie unto thy maid-servant.'

17 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.

And the woman conceiveth and beareth a son, at this season, according to the time of life, that Elisha spake of unto her.

18 A, ka kaumatua te tamaiti, i tetahi ra ka haere ia ki tona papa ki nga kaikotikoti.

And the lad groweth, and the day cometh that he goeth out unto his father, unto the reapers,

19 Na ka mea ia ki tona papa, Toku matenga! toku matenga! Na ka mea tera ki tetahi taitama, Kawea ki tona whaea.

and he saith unto his father, 'My head, my head;' and he saith unto the young man, 'Bear him unto his mother;'

20 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.

and he beareth him, and bringeth him in unto his mother, and he sitteth on her knees till the noon, and dieth.

21 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.

And she goeth up, and layeth him on the bed of the man of God, and shutteth [the door] upon him, and goeth out,

22 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.

and calleth unto her husband, and saith, 'Send, I pray thee, to me, one of the young men, and one of the asses, and I run unto the man of God, and return.'

23 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.

And he saith, 'Wherefore art thou going unto him to-day? — neither new moon nor sabbath!' and she saith, 'Peace [to thee]!'

24 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.

And she saddleth the ass, and saith unto her young man, 'Lead, and go, do not restrain riding for me, except I have said [so] to thee.'

25 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:

And she goeth, and cometh in unto the man of God, unto the hill of Carmel, and it cometh to pass, at the man of God's seeing her from over-against, that he saith unto Gehazi his young man, 'Lo, this Shunammite;

26 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.

now, run, I pray thee, to meet her, and say to her, Is there peace to thee? is there peace to thy husband? is there peace to the lad?' and she saith, 'Peace.'

27 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.

And she cometh in unto the man of God, unto the hill, and layeth hold on his feet, and Gehazi cometh nigh to thrust her away, and the man of God saith, 'Let her alone, for her soul [is] bitter to her, and Jehovah hath hidden [it] from me, and hath not declared [it] to me.'

28 Katahi ka mea tera, I tonoa ranei e ahau tetahi tama i toku ariki? kihai ianei ahau i mea, Kaua ahau e tinihangatia?

And she saith, 'Did I ask a son from my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?'

29 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.

And he saith to Gehazi, 'Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go; when thou dost meet a man, thou dost not salute him; and when a man doth salute thee, thou dost not answer him; and thou hast laid my staff on the face of the youth.'

30 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.

And the mother of the youth saith, 'Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth — if I leave thee;' and he riseth and goeth after her.

31 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.

And Gehazi hath passed on before them, and layeth the staff on the face of the youth, and there is no voice, and there is no attention, and he turneth back to meet him, and declareth to him, saying, 'The youth hath not awaked.'

32 A, no te taenga o Eriha ki te whare, na, kua mate te tamaiti, e takoto ana i tona moenga

And Elisha cometh in to the house, and lo, the youth is dead, laid on his bed,

33 Heoi haere ana ia ki roto, tutakina ana mai te tatu ki a raua tokorua, kei te inoi i a Ihowa.

and he goeth in and shutteth the door upon them both, and prayeth unto Jehovah.

34 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.

And he goeth up, and lieth down on the lad, and putteth his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands, and stretcheth himself upon him, and the flesh of the lad becometh warm;

35 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.

and he turneth back and walketh in the house, once hither and once thither, and goeth up and stretcheth himself upon him, and the youth sneezeth till seven times, and the youth openeth his eyes.

36 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.

And he calleth unto Gehazi, and saith, 'Call unto this Shunammite;' and he calleth her, and she cometh in unto him, and he saith, 'Lift up thy son.'

37 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.

And she goeth in, and falleth at his feet, and boweth herself to the earth, and lifteth up her son, and goeth out.

38 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.

And Elisha hath turned back to Gilgal, and the famine [is] in the land, and the sons of the prophets are sitting before him, and he saith to his young man, 'Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.'

39 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.

And one goeth out unto the field to gather herbs, and findeth a vine of the field, and gathereth of it gourds of the field — the fulness of his garment — and cometh in and splitteth [them] into the pot of pottage, for they knew [them] not;

40 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.

and they pour out for the men to eat, and it cometh to pass at their eating of the pottage, that they have cried out, and say, 'Death [is] in the pot, O man of God!' and they have not been able to eat.

41 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.

And he saith, 'Then bring ye meal;' and he casteth into the pot, and saith, 'Pour out for the people, and they eat;' and there was no evil thing in the pot.

42 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.

And a man hath come from Baal-Shalishah, and bringeth in to the man of God bread of first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in its husk, and he saith, 'Give to the people, and they eat.'

43 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.

And his minister saith, 'What — do I give this before a hundred men?' and he saith, 'Give to the people, and they eat, for thus said Jehovah, Eat and leave;'

44 Heoi hoatu ana e ia ki to ratou aroaro, a kainga ana e ratou, a toe ake; i rite tonu ki ta Ihowa kupu.

and he giveth before them, and they eat and leave, according to the word of Jehovah.
