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!”

Pea ko eni, naʻe tangi kalanga ha fefine ko e tokotaha ʻi he ngaahi uaifi ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita, kia ʻIlaisa, ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo pekia ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko hoku husepāniti; pea ʻoku ke ʻilo naʻe manavahē ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki kia Sihova: pea kuo haʻu ʻae tangata ʻeke totongi ke ne ʻave mo ia ʻa ʻeku ongo tama ke na tamaioʻeiki kiate ia.”

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.”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa kiate ia, “Ko e hā ha meʻa te u fai maʻau? Fakahā mai pe ko e hā ha meʻa ʻoku ke maʻu ʻi fale?” Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe ia, “ʻOku ʻikai maʻu ʻe hoʻo kaunanga ha meʻa ʻi fale, ka ko e hina pe taha ʻoe lolo.”

3 “Go,” said Elisha, “borrow jars, even empty ones, from all your neighbors. Do not gather just a few.

Pea toki pehē ʻe ia, “Ke ke ʻalu, mo kole mai ha ngaahi ipu mei ho kāinga kotoa pē, ʻae ngaahi ngeʻesi ipu; pea ʻoua naʻa kole fakasiʻisiʻi pe.

4 Then go inside, shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour oil into all these jars, setting the full ones aside.”

Pea ʻoka ke ka toe hū mai, te ke tāpuni ʻae matapā kiate koe, pea mo hoʻo ongotama, pea te ke lilingi ki he ngaahi ipu kotoa pē ko ia, pea te ke tuku kehe ʻaia ʻoku fakafonu.”

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.

Ko ia naʻa ne ʻalu atu meiate ia, mo ne tāpuni ʻae matapā kiate ia mo ʻene ongotama, ʻaia naʻe fetuku mai [ʻae ngaahi ipu ]kiate ia; ka naʻe lilingi atu ʻe ia.

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.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene pito ʻae ngaahi ipu, naʻa ne pehēange ki heʻene tama, “Toe ʻomi mo ha ipu ʻe taha.” Pea naʻe pehē atu ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai toe ha taha.” Pea naʻe tuku ʻae tafe ʻoe lolo.

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.”

Pea naʻa ne toki haʻu ʻo fakahā ia ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻAlu, ʻo fakatau ʻae lolo, pea ʻatu ʻae totongi kiate ia ʻoku ʻeke, pea ko hono toe ke ke moʻui ai koe pea mo hoʻo fānau.”

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.

Pea ko e ʻaho ʻe taha naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa ʻIlaisa ki Sunemi, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ha fefine koloaʻia; pea naʻa ne taʻofi ia ke ne kai ha meʻa. Pea naʻe pehē, ʻilonga pe ʻa ʻene ʻalu atu ai naʻa ne foki atu ke kai mā ʻi ai.

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.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fefine ki hono husepāniti, “Vakai mai, ʻoku ou ʻilo ko e tangata māʻoniʻoni eni ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku afe mai kiate kitaua maʻuaipē.

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.”

Ke ta ngaohi ha kihiʻi potu fale, ʻi he funga ʻā maka; pea ke ta tuku maʻana ha mohenga ʻi ai, mo ha palepale, mo ha nofoʻa, mo ha tuʻunga maama: pea ʻe pehē, ʻoka haʻu ia kiate kitaua, te ne nofo ki ai.”

11 One day Elisha came to visit and went to his upper room to lie down.

Pea naʻe hoko ki he ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻa ne haʻu ki ai, pea naʻa ne afe atu ki he potu fale, mo tokoto ai.

12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, “Call the Shunammite woman.” And when he had called her, she stood before him,

Pea naʻa ne pehē ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Kehesi, “Ui mai ʻae fefine Sunemi ni.” Pea hili ʻa ʻene ui ki ai naʻa ne tuʻu mai ʻi hono ʻao.

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.

Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Ke ke fakahā ni kiate ia, Vakai, kuo ke tokanga kiate kimaua ʻi he tokanga lahi ni; ka ko e hā ha meʻa ʻe fai maʻau? Te ke loto ke fai ha lea maʻau ki he tuʻi, pe ki he ʻeiki pule ʻoe kautau?” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou nofo pe ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hoku kakai ʻoʻoku.”

14 So he asked, “Then what should be done for her?” “Well, she has no son,” Gehazi replied, “and her husband is old.”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ka kuo pehē, pea ko e hā ha meʻa ʻe fai maʻana?” Pea naʻe pehē atu ʻe Kehesi, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ʻikai haʻane tamasiʻi, pea kuo motuʻa ʻa hono husepāniti.”

15 “Call her,” said Elisha. So Gehazi called her, and she stood in the doorway.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ui atu kiate ia.” Pea ʻosi ʻa ʻene ui ia, naʻa ne tuʻu ʻi he hūʻanga matapā.

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.”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻI he faʻahitaʻu ko eni, ʻo fakatatau mo hono kuonga, te ke fāʻufua ha tama.” Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOua, ʻa hoku ʻeiki, ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke loi ki hoʻo kaunanga.”

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.

Pea naʻe tuituʻia ʻae fefine, pea ne fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama ʻi he kuonga ko ia naʻe fakahā kiate ia ʻe ʻIlaisa, ʻo fakatatau mo e kuonga ʻoe feitama.

18 And the child grew, and one day he went out to his father, who was with the harvesters.

Pea ʻi heʻene tupu ke lahi ʻae tamasiʻi, naʻe hoko ki he ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻe ʻalu ai ia ki heʻene tamai mo e kau tuʻusi ʻoe ututaʻu.

19 “My head! My head!” he complained to his father. So his father told a servant, “Carry him to his mother.”

Pea naʻa ne pehē ki heʻene tamai, “ʻA hoku ʻulu, ʻa hoku ʻulu!” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki ha tama talavou, “Fua ia ʻo ʻave ki heʻene faʻē.”

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.

Pea ʻi heʻene ʻave ia, mo ʻomi ki heʻene faʻē, naʻa ne nofo ki hono funga tui ʻo aʻu ki he hoʻatāmālie, pea pekia.

21 And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God. Then she shut the door and went out.

Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ia, ʻo ne fakatokoto ia ki he mohenga ʻoe tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, mo ne tāpuni ʻae matapā kiate ia, pea ʻalu ia kituʻa.

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.”

Pea naʻa ne ui atu ki hono husepāniti, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou kole, ke ke fekau mai ha taha ʻoe kau talavou, mo ha ʻasi ʻe taha, koeʻuhi ke u lele ai ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, mo toe haʻu.”

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.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā te ke ʻalu ai kiate ia he ʻaho ni? ʻOku ʻikai ko e māhina foʻou, pe ko e ʻaho tapu.” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “Fiemālie pe.”

24 Then she saddled the donkey and told her servant, “Drive onward; do not slow the pace for me unless I tell you.”

Pea naʻa ne toki ʻai ʻae hekaʻanga ki he ʻasi, mo ne pehē ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, “Fai vave, mo ʻalu atu pe, ʻoua naʻa ke fakatuotuai ʻae ʻalu [ʻae manu, ]ka ʻi heʻeku fekau pe ʻaʻaku.”

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.

Ko ia naʻa ne ʻalu mo ne hoko atu ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he moʻunga ko Kameli. Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene mamata kei mamaʻo ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua kiate ia, naʻa ne pehē kia Kehesi ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki, “Vakai, ko ʻena ʻae fefine Sunemi:

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.”

Lele leva, pea fakafetaulaki kiate ia, mo ke pehē ki ai, ʻOku ke lelei pe koe? ʻOku lelei pe ʻa ho husepāniti? ʻOku lelei pe mo hoʻo tamasiʻi? pea naʻe tali ʻe ia [ʻo pehē], ʻOku lelei pe.”

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.”

Pea ʻi heʻene hoko mai ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ki he moʻunga, naʻa ne puke ia ʻi hono vaʻe: ka naʻe fakaofi mai ʻa Kehesi ke ne teketekeʻi atu ia. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, “Tuku ai pe ia; he kuo mamahi ʻa hono loto ʻiate ia: pea kuo fakafufū ia meiate au ʻe Sihova ʻo ne taʻefakahā ia kiate au.”

28 Then she said, “Did I ask you for a son, my lord? Didn’t I say, ‘Do not deceive me?’”

Pea toki pehē ʻe he fefine, “He naʻaku holi ki ha tama mei hoku ʻeiki? ʻIkai naʻaku pehē, Ke ʻoua naʻa kākaaʻi au?”

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.”

Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe ia kia Kehesi, “ʻAi ho noʻotangavala, pea toʻo ʻa hoku tokotoko ʻi ho nima, pea ʻalu ʻi ho hala; kapau te mo fetaulaki mo ha tangata, ʻoua naʻa fetapa mo ia; pea kapau ʻe fetapa mai ha tokotaha kiate koe, ʻoua naʻa ke toe leaange ki ai: pea ke ʻai ʻa hoku tokotoko ki he mata ʻoe tamasiʻi.”

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.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he faʻē ʻae tamasiʻi, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea ʻi he moʻui mo ho laumālie, ʻe ʻikai te u liʻaki koe.” Pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake ʻo muimui ʻiate ia.

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.”

Pea naʻe muʻomuʻa atu ʻa Kehesi ʻi hona ʻao, mo ne hilifaki ʻae tokotoko ki he mata ʻoe tamasiʻi; ka naʻe ʻikai ke lea, pe ongoʻi. Ko ia naʻa ne toe ʻalu ke fetaulaki kiate ia, mo ne fakahā ki ai, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ke fakaʻā ʻae tamasiʻi.”

32 When Elisha reached the house, there was the boy lying dead on his bed.

Pea ʻi heʻene hoko mai ʻa ʻIlaisa ki he fale, vakai, naʻe mate ʻae tamasiʻi, pea naʻe fakatokoto ʻi hono mohenga.

33 So he went in, closed the door behind the two of them, and prayed to the LORD.

Ko ia naʻa ne hū ai ki loto [fale], mo ne tāpuni ʻae matapā ke na toko ua pe, pea naʻa ne lotu kia Sihova.

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.

Pea naʻa ne ʻalu hake, mo ne tokoto hifo ki he tamasiʻi, ʻo ne ʻai ʻa hono ngutu ʻoʻona ki hono ngutu, mo hono mata ki hono mata, mo hono nima ki hono nima; pea naʻa ne fakatokoto ia ki he tamasiʻi; pea naʻe fakaʻaʻau ke mafana ʻae sino ʻoe tamasiʻi.

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.

Pea naʻa ne toe haʻu, mo ne ʻeveʻeva feʻaluʻaki pe ʻi he fale; pea ne ʻalu hake, mo ne fakatokoto ia kiate ia: pea naʻe mafatua ʻae tamasiʻi ʻo liunga fitu, pea naʻe fakaava ʻe he tamasiʻi ʻa hono mata.

36 Elisha summoned Gehazi and said, “Call the Shunammite woman.” So he called her and she came. Then Elisha said, “Pick up your son.”

Pea naʻa ne ui kia Kehesi, ʻo ne pehē, “Ui mai ʻa e [fefine ]Sunemi.” Pea naʻa ne ui ki ai. Pea ʻi heʻene hū mai kiate ia, naʻa ne pehē ʻe ia, “Toʻo hake ʻa hoʻo tama.”

37 She came in, fell at his feet, and bowed to the ground. Then she picked up her son and went out.

Pea naʻa ne toki hū ange, mo tō hifo ki hono vaʻe, mo ne punou hifo ki he kelekele, mo ne toʻo hake ʻa ʻene tama, ʻo ʻalu atu kituʻa.

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.”

Pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻa ʻIlaisa ki Kilikali: pea naʻe ai ʻae honge ʻi he fonua; pea naʻe nofo ʻi hono ʻao ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita: pea naʻa ne pehē ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, Fokotuʻu ʻae kulo lahi, pea haka ha meʻakai maʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita.

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.

Pea naʻe ʻalu ha tokotaha ki he ngoue ke tānaki ʻae louʻakau, pea naʻa ne ʻilo ai ʻae vaine tupu vao, pea naʻa ne tānaki mei ai ʻae ngaahi fua ke pito ai hono kofu, pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻo hifi ia ki he kulo ʻoe haka lū: he naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo hono anga.

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.

Ko ia naʻa nau lilingi atu koeʻuhi ke kai ʻe he kau tangata. Pea ʻiloange, lolotonga ʻenau kai ʻae lū, naʻa nau ui atu, ʻo pehē, “ʻE tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku ʻi he kulo ʻae mate.” Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa kai mei ai.

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.

Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOmi ha mahoaʻa.” Pea naʻa ne ʻai ia ki he kulo; pea naʻa ne pehē, “Lilingi atu maʻae kakai, koeʻuhi ke nau kai.” Pea tā naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa kovi ʻi he kulo.

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.

Pea naʻe haʻu ha tangata mei Pealisalisa, ʻo ne ʻomi ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ʻae mā ʻoe ʻuluaki fua, ko e foʻi mā paʻale ʻe uofulu, mo e ngaahi fuhinga koane mo hono kafukafu. Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻAtu ia ki he kakai ke nau kai ia.”

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.’”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe heʻene tamaioʻeiki, “Ko e hā, te u ʻai atu eni koā ʻi he ʻao ʻo ha kau tangata ʻe toko teau?” Pea naʻe toe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻAtu ki he kakai, ke nau kai ai: he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Te nau kai ai pea ʻe toe pe.”

44 So he set it before them, and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of the LORD.

Pea pehē, naʻa ne tuku ia ki honau ʻao, pea naʻa nau kai, pea naʻe toe pe, ʻo fakatatau ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.
