< 2 Kings 6 >
1 And the children of the Prophets saide vnto Elisha, Behold, we pray thee, the place where we dwell with thee, is too litle for vs.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita kia ʻIlaisa, “Vakai eni, kuo ʻapiʻapi kiate kitautolu ʻae potu ʻoku tau nonofo ai mo koe.
2 Let vs nowe goe to Iorden, that we may take thence euery man a beame, and make vs a place to dwell in. And he answered, Goe.
ʻOku mau kole kiate koe, ke ke tuku ke mau ʻalu ki Sioatani, pea taki taha toʻo ʻe he tangata haʻane ʻakau lalanga, pea mau ngaohi ʻi ai ha potu ke tau nofo ai.” Pea naʻe talaange ʻe ia, ʻo pehē, “Mou ʻalu.”
3 And one said, Vouchsafe, I pray thee, to go with thy seruants, and he answered, I will goe.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tokotaha, “ʻOku ou kole ke ke fiemālie mo ke ʻalu mo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki.” Pea naʻa ne pehēange, “Te u ʻalu pe.”
4 So he went with them, and when they came to Iorden, they cut downe wood.
Ko ia naʻa ne ʻalu ai mo kinautolu. Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko atu ki Sioatani, naʻa nau fai ʻae taʻanga.
5 And as one was felling of a tree, the yron fell into the water: then he cryed, and said, Alas master, it was but borowed.
Kae lolotonga ʻa ʻene tā ha ʻakau ʻe he tokotaha, naʻe tō hifo ʻae toki ukamea ki he vai: pea naʻa ne tangi mo pehē, “ʻOiauē, ʻa [ʻeku ]ʻeiki! He naʻe nō ia.”
6 And the man of God saide, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. Then he cut downe a piece of wood, and cast in thither, and he caused the yron to swimme.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, naʻe tō hifo ia ʻi fē? Pea naʻa ne fakahā kiate ia ʻae potu. Pea naʻa ne tutuʻu mai ha vaʻa ʻakau mo ne lī ia ki ai pea naʻe tētē hake ʻae ukamea.
7 Then he saide, Take it vp to thee. And he stretched out his hand, and tooke it.
Ko ia naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Toʻo hake ia kiate koe.” Pea naʻa ne mafao atu hono nima, mo ne toʻo ia.
8 Then the King of Aram warred against Israel, and tooke counsell with his seruants, and said, In such and such a place shalbe my campe.
Pea naʻe fai ʻae tau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Silia ki ʻIsileli, pea ne fakakaukau mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻi he potu ko ē mo ē ʻa hoku ʻapitanga tau.
9 Therefore the man of God sent vnto the King of Israel, saying, Beware thou goe not ouer to such a place: for there the Aramites are come downe.
Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, Vakai ke ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu ange ki he potu na; he kuo hoko hifo ki ai ʻae kakai Silia.
10 So the King of Israel sent to the place which the man of God tolde him, and warned him of, and saued himselfe from thence, not once, nor twise.
Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ki he potu naʻe fakaʻilo ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua mo valoki ai ia, pea naʻa ne fakamoʻui ia ʻi ai ʻo ʻikai ke liunga taha pe liunga ua.
11 And the heart of the King of Aram was troubled for this thing: therefore he called his seruants and saide vnto them, Will ye not shewe me, which of vs bewrayeth our counsel to the king of Israel?
Ko ia naʻe puputuʻu lahi ʻae loto ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Silia ʻi he meʻa ni; pea naʻa ne ui mai ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻE ʻikai te mou fakahā mai pe ko hai ʻiate kitautolu ʻoku kau ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?”
12 Then one of his seruants saide, None, my lorde, O King, but Elisha the Prophet that is in Israel, telleth the King of Israel, euen the wordes that thou speakest in thy priuie chamber.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tokotaha ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “ʻA ʻeku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ka ko ʻIlaisa pe ko e palōfita ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻoku tala ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻae ngaahi lea ʻaia ʻoku ke lea ʻaki ʻi hoʻo potu mohe.”
13 And he said, Goe, and espie where he is, that I may sende and fetch him. And one tolde him, saying, Beholde, he is in Dothan.
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻAlu ʻo vakai pe ʻoku ʻi fē ia, koeʻuhi ke u fekau atu mo ʻomi ia.” Pea naʻe tala kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Vakai ʻoku ne nofo ʻi Totani.”
14 So he sent thither horses, and charets, and a mightie hoste: and they came by night, and compassed the citie.
Ko ia naʻa ne fekau ki ai ʻae fanga hoosi, mo e ngaahi saliote, mo e fuʻu kakai tokolahi: pea naʻa nau omi poʻuli pe ʻonau kāpui ʻae kolo.
15 And when the seruant of the man of God arose earely to goe out, beholde, an hoste compassed the citie with horses and charets. Then his seruant sayde vnto him, Alas master, howe shall we doe?
Pea ʻi heʻene tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, mo ne ʻalu kituʻa, “Vakai, naʻe kāpui ʻae kolo ʻe he fuʻu kakai tokolahi ʻaki ʻae fanga hoosi mo e ngaahi saliote.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe heʻene tamaioʻeiki kiate ia, “ʻOiauē ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki! Ko e hā te ta fai?”
16 And he answered, Feare not: for they that be with vs, are moe then they that be with them.
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē: he ko kinautolu ʻoku kau mai kiate kitaua ʻoku tokolahi hake ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku kau kiate kinautolu.”
17 Then Elisha prayed, and saide, Lord, I beseech thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the seruant, and he looked, and beholde, the mountaine was full of horses and charets of fyre round about Elisha.
Pea naʻe lotu ʻa ʻIlaisa, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fakaʻā ʻa hono mata, koeʻuhi ke ne mamata.” Pea naʻe fakaʻā ʻae mata ʻoe talavou ʻe Sihova; pea naʻa ne sio: pea vakai, naʻe fonu ʻae moʻunga ʻi he fanga hoosi mo e ngaahi saliote afi naʻe nofo takatakai ʻia ʻIlaisa.
18 So they came downe to him, but Elisha prayed vnto the Lord, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindnesse. And he smote them with blindnes, according to the worde of Elisha.
Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko hifo kiate ia, naʻe lotu ʻa ʻIlaisa kia Sihova, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe ke ke taaʻi ʻae kakai ni ke nau kui.” Pea naʻa ne taaʻi ke kui ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻa ʻIlaisa.
19 And Elisha said vnto them, This is not the way, neither is this the citie: follow me, and I will leade you to the man whome ye seeke. But he ledde them to Samaria.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai ko e hala eni, pea ʻoku ʻikai ko e kolo eni: muimui mai ʻiate au, pea te u ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he tangata ʻoku mou kumi ki ai.” Ka naʻa ne tataki ʻakinautolu ki Samēlia.
20 And when they were come to Samaria, Elisha saide, Lord, open their eyes that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw, and beholde, they were in the mids of Samaria.
Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko mai ki Samēlia, naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa, “ʻE Sihova, ke ke fakaʻā ʻae mata ʻoe kau tangata ni, koeʻuhi ke nau mamata.” Pea naʻe fakaʻā honau mata ʻe Sihova, pea naʻa nau mamata; pea vakai, kuo nau ʻi he loto [kolo ]ʻo Samēlia.
21 And the King of Israel sayde vnto Elisha when he sawe them, My father, shall I smite them, shall I smite them?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia ʻIlaisa, ʻi heʻene mamata kiate kinautolu, “ʻA ʻeku tamai, te u teʻia ʻakinautolu pe ʻikai? Te u teʻia ʻakinautolu?”
22 And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: doest thou not smite them that thou hast taken with thy sworde, and with thy bowe? but set bread and water before them, that they may eate and drinke and goe to their master.
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻE ʻikai te ke teʻia ʻakinautolu: te ke fie tāmate ʻakinautolu kuo ke maʻu pōpula ʻi hoʻo heletā pea mo hoʻo kaufana? Tuku ki honau ʻao ʻae mā mo e vai, koeʻuhi ke nau kai mo inu, pea ʻalu ki honau ʻeiki.”
23 And he made great preparation for them: and when they had eaten and drunken, he sent them away: and they went to their master. So ye bands of Aram came no more into the land of Israel.
Pea naʻa ne teuteu maʻanautolu ʻae meʻakai lahi: pea hili ʻenau kai mo inu, naʻa ne fekau ke nau ʻalu, pea naʻa nau ʻalu ki honau ʻeiki. Pea pehē naʻe ʻikai toe haʻu ʻae ngaahi kautau mei Silia ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli.
24 But afterward Ben-hadad King of Aram gathered all his hoste, and went vp, and besieged Samaria.
Pea hili ange eni, naʻe tānaki ʻe Penihatati ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia ʻa ʻene kautau kotoa pē, mo ne ʻalu hake, ʻo ne kāpui ʻa Samēlia ʻaki ʻae tau.
25 So there was a great famine in Samaria: for loe, they besieged it vntill an asses head was at foure score pieces of siluer, and the fourth part of a kab of doues doung at fiue pieces of siluer.
Pea naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae honge ʻi Samēlia: pea vakai, naʻa nau kāpui ai pe ia ʻaki ʻae tau, pea ko e meʻa ia naʻe fakatau ai ʻae ʻulu ʻoe ʻasi ʻaki ʻae paʻanga siliva ʻe valungofulu, pea mo e vahe fā ʻoe kape ʻo ʻete lupe ki he konga siliva ʻe nima.
26 And as the King of Israel was going vpon the wall, there cryed a woman vnto him, saying, Helpe, my lord, O King.
Pea lolotonga ʻae ʻalu ange ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he funga ʻā, naʻe tangi mai kiate ia ha fefine, ʻo pehē, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki, ko e tuʻi, tokoni mai.”
27 And he said, Seeing the Lord doeth not succour thee, howe shoulde I helpe thee with the barne, or with the wine presse?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai fakamoʻui koe ʻe Sihova, ʻe fēfē ʻa ʻeku tokoni koe ʻeau? Mei he tukuʻanga uite, pe mei he tataʻoʻanga uaine?”
28 Also the King said vnto her, What ayleth thee? And she answered, This woman sayde vnto me, Giue thy sonne, that we may eate him to day, and we will eate my sonne to morowe,
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻa hoʻo mamahi?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Naʻe pehē mai ʻe he fefine ni kiate au, ‘Foaki hoʻo tama ʻaʻau, ke ta kai ia he ʻaho ni, pea te ta kai ʻa ʻeku tama ʻaʻaku ʻi he ʻapongipongi.’
29 So we sod my sonne, and did eate him: and I saide to her the day after, Giue thy sonne, that we may eate him, but she hath hid her sonne.
Ko ia ne ma haka ʻa ʻeku tama, pea ne ma kai ia: pea naʻaku pehē kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha, Foaki ʻa hoʻo tama ʻaʻau, ke ta kai ia: ka kuo ne fufū ʻa ʻene tama.”
30 And when the King had heard the wordes of the woman, he rent his clothes, (and as he went vpon the wall, the people looked, and behold, he had sackecloth within vpon his flesh)
Pea vakai ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe he tuʻi ki he ngaahi lea ʻae fefine, naʻa ne haehae ʻa hono ngaahi kofu; pea naʻa ne ʻalu ange ʻi he funga ʻā, pea naʻe sio ʻae kakai, pea vakai kuo ne ʻai ʻae kofu tauangaʻa ki loto ki hono kakano.
31 And he saide, God doe so to me and more also, if the head of Elisha the sonne of Shaphat shall stande on him this day.
Pea naʻa ne toki pehē, “Ke fai pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kiate au ʻo lahi hake, ʻo kapau ʻe kei tuʻu ʻae ʻulu ʻo ʻIlaisa ko e foha ʻo Safati kiate ia he ʻaho ni.”
32 (Nowe Elisha sate in his house, and the Elders sate with him.) And the King sent a man before him: but before the messenger came to him, he saide to the Elders, See ye not howe this murtherers sonne hath sent to take away mine head? take heede when the messenger commeth, and shut the doore and handle him roughly at the doore: is not the sounde of his masters feete behinde him?
Ka naʻe nofo pe ʻa ʻIlaisa ʻi hono fale, pea naʻe nonofo mo ia ʻae kau mātuʻa; pea naʻe fekau atu [ʻe he tuʻi ]ha tangata meiate ia: ka ʻi he teʻeki hoko mai ʻae talafekau kiate ia, naʻa ne pehē ki he kau mātuʻa, “ʻOku mou vakai, ki heʻene fekau mai ʻe he foha ni ʻoe fakapō, ke ne toʻo ʻo ʻave ʻa hoku ʻulu? Vakai, ʻoka hoko mai ʻae talafekau, tāpuni ʻae matapā, pea taʻofi maʻu ia ki he matapā: ʻikai kuo patū mai ʻae vaʻe ʻo ʻene ʻeiki ki mui ʻiate ia?”
33 While he yet talked with them, beholde, the messenger came downe vnto him, and saide, Behold, this euill commeth of the Lord: should I attende on the Lord any longer?
Pea lolotonga ʻa ʻene kei talanoa mo kinautolu, vakai, naʻe hoko hifo kiate ia ʻae talafekau: pea naʻa ne pehē, “Vakai ʻoku meia Sihova ʻae kovi ni; koeʻumaʻā ʻa ʻeku kei tatali ai kia Sihova?”
