2 Kings 4
1 Now the wife of one of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant, my husband, is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. And now his creditor is coming to take my two children as his 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 “How can I help you?” asked Elisha. “Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She answered, “Your servant has nothing in the house but a jar 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 “Go,” said Elisha, “borrow jars, even empty ones, from all your neighbors. Do not gather just a few.
Katahi ia ka mea, Haere, tonoa etahi oko mau i waho, i ou hoa tata katoa, hei nga oko tahanga; kei torutoru.
4 Then go inside, shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour oil into all these jars, setting the full ones aside.”
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 left him, and after she had shut the door behind her and her sons, they kept bringing jars to her, and she kept pouring.
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 all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another.” But he replied, “There are no more jars.” 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 She went and told the man of God, and he said, “Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt. Then you and your sons can live on the remainder.”
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, and a prominent woman who lived there persuaded him to have a meal. So whenever he would pass by, he would stop there to eat.
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 Then the woman said to her husband, “Behold, now I know that the one who often comes our way is a holy man of God.
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 us make a small room upstairs and put in it a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp for him. Then 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 Elisha came to visit and went to his upper room to lie down.
Na i tetahi ra ka tae mai ia ki reira, a peka ana ki taua ruma, takoto ana ki reira.
12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, “Call the Shunammite woman.” And 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 and Elisha said to Gehazi, “Now tell her, ‘Look, you have gone to all this trouble for us. What can we do for you? Can we speak on your behalf to the king or the commander of the army?’” “I have a home among my own people,” she replied.
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 So he asked, “Then what should be done for her?” “Well, she has no son,” Gehazi replied, “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 “Call her,” said Elisha. So Gehazi called her, and she stood in the doorway.
Na ka mea ake ia, Karangatia ia. Na karangatia ana ia e ia, a tu ana tera i te kuwaha.
16 And Elisha declared, “At this time next year, you will hold a son in your arms.” “No, my lord,” she said. “Do not lie to your maidservant, O man of God.”
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 But the woman did conceive, and at that time the next year she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had told 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 And the child grew, and one day he went out to his father, who was with the harvesters.
A, ka kaumatua te tamaiti, i tetahi ra ka haere ia ki tona papa ki nga kaikotikoti.
19 “My head! My head!” he complained to his father. So his father told a 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 After the servant had picked him up and carried him to his mother, the boy sat on her lap until noon, and then he 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 And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God. Then she shut the door 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 And the woman called her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, that I may go quickly to the man of God and return.”
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 “Why would you go to him today?” he replied. “It is not a New Moon or a Sabbath.” “Everything is all right,” she said.
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 the donkey and told her servant, “Drive onward; do not slow the pace for me unless I tell you.”
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 set out and went to the man of God at Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her at a distance, he said to his servant Gehazi, “Look, there is the Shunammite woman.
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 out now to meet her and ask, ‘Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is your child all right?’” And she answered, “Everything is all right.”
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 reached the man of God at the mountain, she clung to his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for her soul is in deep distress, and the LORD 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 So Elisha said to Gehazi, “Tie up your garment, take my staff in your hand, and go! If you meet anyone, do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not answer him. Then lay my staff on the boy’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 And the mother of the boy said, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So he got up 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 on ahead of them and laid the staff on the boy’s face, but there was no sound or response. So he went back to meet Elisha and told him, “The boy 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 reached the house, there was the boy lying dead on his bed.
A, no te taenga o Eriha ki te whare, na, kua mate te tamaiti, e takoto ana i tona moenga
33 So he went in, closed the door behind the two of them, and prayed to the LORD.
Heoi haere ana ia ki roto, tutakina ana mai te tatu ki a raua tokorua, kei te inoi i a Ihowa.
34 Then Elisha got on the bed and lay on the boy, mouth to mouth, eye to eye, and hand to hand. As he stretched himself out over him, the boy’s body became 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 Elisha turned away and paced back and forth across the room. Then he got on the bed and stretched himself out over the boy again, and the boy sneezed seven times and 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 Elisha summoned Gehazi and said, “Call the Shunammite woman.” So he called her and she came. Then Elisha said, “Pick 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 She came in, fell at his feet, and bowed 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 When Elisha returned to Gilgal, there was a famine in the land. As the sons of the prophets were sitting at his feet, he said to his attendant, “Put on the large pot and boil some 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 of them went out to the field to gather herbs, and he found a wild vine from which he gathered as many wild gourds as his garment could hold. Then he came back and cut them up into the pot of stew, though no one knew what they were.
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 And they poured it out for the men to eat, but when they tasted the stew they cried out, “There is death in the pot, O man of God!” 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 Then Elisha said, “Get some flour.” He threw it into the pot and said, “Pour it out for the people to 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 Now a man from Baal-shalishah came to the man of God with a sack of twenty loaves of barley bread from the first ripe grain. “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha.
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 But his servant asked, “How am I to set twenty loaves before a hundred men?” “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha, “for this is what the LORD says: ‘They will eat and 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 the word of the LORD.
Heoi hoatu ana e ia ki to ratou aroaro, a kainga ana e ratou, a toe ake; i rite tonu ki ta Ihowa kupu.
