2 Kings 7
1 Elisha said, “Hear the LORD’s word. The LORD says, ‘Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.’”
Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa, “Mou fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova; ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Feʻunga nai mo e feituʻulaʻā ni ʻapongipongi ʻe fakatau ʻae fuaʻanga mahoaʻa lelei ʻe taha ki he sikeli ʻe taha, mo e fuaʻanga ʻe ua ʻoe paʻale ki he sikeli ʻe taha, ʻi he matanikolo ʻo Samēlia.”
2 Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, “Behold, if the LORD made windows in heaven, could this thing be?” He said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.”
Pea ko e ʻeiki ko ia naʻe faʻaki ai ʻae tuʻi ki hono nima naʻe tali ʻo pehēange ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, “Vakai, ka ne ngaohi ʻe Sihova ha ngaahi kātupa ʻi he langi, ʻe faʻa fai koā ʻae meʻa ni?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai te ke mamata ki ai ʻaki ho mata ʻoʻou, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke kai mei ai.”
3 Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate. They said to one another, “Why do we sit here until we die?
Pea naʻe nofo ʻae kau tangata kilia ʻe toko fā ʻi he hūʻanga matapā [ʻoe kolo ]pea naʻa nau fepehēʻaki, “Ko e hā ʻoku tau nofo ai pe ʻi heni ke tau mate ai?
4 If we say, ‘We will enter into the city,’ then the famine is in the city, and we will die there. If we sit still here, we also die. Now therefore come, and let’s surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they save us alive, we will live; and if they kill us, we will only die.”
Kapau te tau pehē, “Ke tau hū atu ki loto kolo, ʻoku ʻi he kolo ʻae honge, pea te tau mate ai; pea kapau te tau nofo ai pe ʻi heni, te tau mate foki. Ko ia ke tau ō mo hoko ange ki he kautau mei Silia: kapau te nau fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu, pehē te tau moʻui; pea kapau te nau tāmateʻi ʻakitautolu, te tau mate pe.”
5 They rose up in the twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians. When they had come to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, no man was there.
Ko ia naʻa nau tuʻu hake ʻi he kei fakapoʻupoʻuli ke ʻalu ki he ʻapitanga ʻoe kakai Silia; pea ʻi heʻenau hoko ange ki he ngataʻanga ʻaupito ʻoe ʻapitanga ʻoe kakai Silia, vakai naʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻi ai.
6 For the Lord had made the army of the Syrians to hear the sound of chariots and the sound of horses, even the noise of a great army; and they said to one another, “Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to attack us.”
He naʻe meʻa ʻe Sihova ke fanongo ʻe he kakai Silia ki he patū ʻoe ngaahi saliote, mo e longoaʻa ʻoe ngaahi fanga hoosi, ʻio, ki he patū mai ʻoe fuʻu kautau tokolahi: pea naʻa nau fepehēʻaki, Vakai kuo piutau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli mei he ngaahi tuʻi ʻoe kakai Heti, mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite ke haʻu ʻo tauʻi ʻakitautolu.
7 Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, their horses, and their donkeys, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
Pea ko ia naʻa nau tutuʻu hake ai ʻo hola ʻi heʻene kei fakapoʻupoʻuli, mo nau siʻaki honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki, mo ʻenau fanga hoosi, mo ʻenau fanga ʻasi, ʻio, ʻae ʻapitanga kotoa mo ia naʻe ʻi ai, ka nau hola ke nau moʻui.
8 When these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drank, then carried away silver, gold, and clothing and went and hid it. Then they came back, and entered into another tent and carried things from there also, and went and hid them.
Pea ʻi he hoko atu ʻae kau kilia ni ki he ngataʻanga ʻaupito ʻoe ʻapitanga, naʻa nau hū atu ki he fale fehikitaki ʻe taha, ʻonau kai mo inu, mo nau ʻave mei ai ʻae siliva, mo e koula, mo e ngaahi kofu, mo nau ʻalu ʻo fufū ia; mo nau toe haʻu ʻo hū ki he fale fehikitaki ʻe taha, ʻo fetuku foki mei ai, mo nau ʻalu ʻo fufū ia.
9 Then they said to one another, “We are not doing right. Today is a day of good news, and we keep silent. If we wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let’s go and tell the king’s household.”
Hili ia naʻa nau fepehēʻaki, “ʻOku ʻikai lelei ʻae meʻa ʻoku tau fai: ko e ʻaho eni ko e ʻaho ʻoe ongoongolelei, ka ʻoku tau fakalongo pe: kapau te tau tatali kaeʻoua ke ʻaho, ʻe hoko ha kovi kiate kitautolu: ko ia mou omi, koeʻuhi ke tau ʻalu ʻo fakahā eni ki he kaungāfale ʻoe tuʻi.”
10 So they came and called to the city gatekeepers; and they told them, “We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, not even a man’s voice, but the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were.”
Ko ia naʻa nau haʻu mo nau ui ki he tangata leʻo ʻoe kolo: pea naʻa nau tala kiate kinautolu ʻo pehē, naʻa mau hoko ange ki he ʻapitanga ʻoe kakai Silia, pea vakai, naʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻi ai, pea naʻe ʻikai ongo ai ʻae leʻo ʻo ha tangata, ka naʻe noʻotaki ʻae fanga hoosi, mo e fanga ʻasi naʻe noʻotaki, mo e ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo hangē pe ko ʻenau tuʻu.
11 Then the gatekeepers called out and told it to the king’s household within.
Pea naʻa ne ui ʻe ia ki he kau leʻo pea naʻa nau fakahā ia ki he kaungāfale ʻoe tuʻi ʻi loto fale.
12 The king arose in the night, and said to his servants, “I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry. Therefore they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, ‘When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city.’”
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae tuʻi ʻi he kei poʻuli, ʻo ne pehē ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, Te u fakahā eni kiate kimoutolu ʻae meʻa kuo fai ʻe he kakai Silia kiate kitautolu. “ʻOku nau ʻilo ʻetau fiekaia; ko ia kuo nau ʻalu atu mei he ʻapitanga ke malumu ʻi he vao, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOka nau ka hū mai mei he kolo, te tau puke moʻui ʻakinautolu, mo hū atu ai ki he kolo.’”
13 One of his servants answered, “Please let some people take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are left in it. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are consumed. Let’s send and see.”
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ha tokotaha ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “ʻOku ou kole ke ke tuku ke toʻo ʻe ha niʻihi ʻae fanga hoosi ʻe nima ʻoku toe, ʻaia ʻoku kei toe ʻi he kolo, (vakai, ʻoku nau tatau pe mo e tokolahi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaia ʻoku kei toe ʻi ai: vakai, ʻoku nau hangē pe ko e tokolahi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaia kuo fakaʻauʻausino: ) pea ke tau fekau atu ʻo mamata.”
14 Therefore they took two chariots with horses; and the king sent them out to the Syrian army, saying, “Go and see.”
Ko ia naʻa nau toʻo ai ʻae ongo hoosi toho saliote ʻe ua; pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe he tuʻi ki he kautau ʻo Silia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻAlu ʻo vakai.”
15 They went after them to the Jordan; and behold, all the path was full of garments and equipment which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. The messengers returned and told the king.
Pea naʻa nau muimui kiate kinautolu ʻo aʻu atu ki Sioatani: pea vakai, naʻe felefeleʻi ʻi he hala ʻae ngaahi kofu mo e ngaahi ipu, ʻaia naʻe liʻaki ʻe he kakai Silia ʻi heʻenau hola fakavavevave. Pea naʻe liliu mai ʻae kau talafekau, mo nau fakahā ia ki he tuʻi.
16 The people went out and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a seah of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the LORD’s word.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae kakai, mo nau veteki ʻae ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai Silia. Pea pehē, naʻe fakatau ʻae fuaʻanga ʻe taha ʻoe mahoaʻa lelei ʻaki ʻae sikeli ʻe taha, mo e fuaʻanga paʻale ʻe ua ʻaki ʻae sikeli ʻe taha, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova.
17 The king had appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to be in charge of the gate; and the people trampled over him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ki he ʻeiki ʻaia naʻa ne faʻaki ki hono nima ke ʻaʻana ʻae leʻohi ʻoe matapā: pea naʻe malamalaki ia ʻe he kakai ʻi he matapā, pea naʻa ne mate, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fakahā ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe lea kiate ia ʻi heʻene ʻalu hifo ʻae tuʻi ki ai.
18 It happened as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, “Two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria;”
Pea naʻe hoko ia ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ki he tuʻi, ʻo pehē, Ko e fuaʻanga ʻe ua ʻoe paʻale ki he sikeli ʻe taha, mo e fuaʻanga ʻe taha ʻoe mahoaʻa lelei ki he sikeli ʻe taha, ʻe [fakatau ]ʻapongipongi ʻo feʻunga nai mo e feituʻulaʻā ni ʻi he matapā ʻo Samēlia:
19 and that captain answered the man of God, and said, “Now, behold, if the LORD made windows in heaven, might such a thing be?” and he said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.”
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe he ʻeiki ko ia ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, “Vakai mai, kapau ʻe ngaohi ʻe Sihova ha ngaahi kātupa ʻi he langi, ʻe mafai ai ha meʻa pehē?” Pea naʻa ne pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai, te ke sio ki ai ʻaki ho mata, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke kai mei ai.”
20 It happened like that to him, for the people trampled over him in the gate, and he died.
Pea naʻe pehē pe ʻae meʻa naʻe hoko kiate ia: he naʻe malamalaki ia ʻe he kakai ʻi he matapā, pea naʻa ne mate.
