2 Kings 1
1 Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
Na i muri i te matenga o Ahapa ka whakakeke a Moapa ki a Iharaira.
2 And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, enquire of Baal–zebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.
Na ka taka iho a Ahatia i te taiepa ripekapeka i tona ruma i runga, i Hamaria, a ka takoto mate: na ka tono tangata ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Tikina, uia ki a Paarahepupa atua o Ekerono, e ora ranei ahau i tenei mate.
3 But the angel of Yhwh said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baal–zebub the god of Ekron?
Otiia i mea te anahera a Ihowa ki a Iraia Tihipi, Whakatika, haere ki runga, ki te whakatau i nga tangata a te kingi o Hamaria, mea atu ki a ratou, He kore Atua ianei no Iharaira i haere ai koutou ki te ui ki a Paarahepupa atua o Ekerono?
4 Now therefore thus saith Yhwh, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.
No reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ko te moenga i pikitia na e koe, e kore koe e heke iho i reira, engari ko te mate kau mou. Na haere ana a Iraia.
5 And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why are ye now turned back?
Na, i te hokinga atu o nga tangata ki a ia, ka mea ia ki a ratou, He aha koutou i hoki mai ai?
6 And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith Yhwh, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to enquire of Baal–zebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, I haere mai tetahi tangata ki te whakatau i a matou, a ka mea ki a matou, Haere, hoki atu ki te kingi i tonoa mai ai koutou, mea atu ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, He kore Atua no Iharaira i tono tangata ai koe ki te ui ki a Paarahepupa atua o Ekerono? Na, ko te moenga i pikitia na e koe, e kore koe e heke iho i reira; engari ko te mate kau mou.
7 And he said unto them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words?
Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Tena koa te ahua o taua tangata i haere mai na ki te whakatau i a koutou, i korero na i aua kupu ki a koutou?
8 And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, He tangata puhuruhuru, he whitiki hiako te whitiki o tona hope. Na ka mea ia, Ko Iraira Tihipi tena.
9 Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down.
Katahi ia ka unga i tetahi rangatira rima tekau me tana rima tekau. Na haere ana ia ki a ia; na i te tihi tera o te maunga e noho ana. A ka mea ia ki a ia, E te tangata a te Atua, i mea mai te kingi, Heke iho.
10 And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
Na ka whakahoki a Iraia, ka mea ki te rangatira rima tekau, Ki te mea he tangata ahau na te Atua, kia heke iho he ahi i te rangi hei kai i a koutou ko tau rima tekau. Na heke iho ana he ahi i te rangi, pau ake ia me tana rima tekau.
11 Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.
Na ka unga ano e ia tetahi atu rangatira rima tekau me tana rima tekau. A ka oho tera, ka mea atu ki a ia, E te tangata a te Atua, ko te kupu tenei a te kingi, Hohoro te heke iho.
12 And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
Na ka whakahoki a Iraia, ka mea ki a ratou, Ki te mea he tangata ahau na te Atua, kia heke iho he ahi i te rangi hei kai i a koutou ko tau rima tekau. Ko te hekenga iho o te ahi a te Atua i te rangi, pau ake ia me tana rima tekau.
13 And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.
Na ka unga ano e ia, ka tuatorutia, he rangatira rima tekau me tana rima tekau. Na haere ana te tuatoru o nga rangatira rima tekau, ka tae, ka tuku i nga turi ki raro, ki te aroaro o Iraia, ka tangi ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, E te tangata a te Atu a, kia nui ki tou whakaaro toku wairua me nga wairua o enei pononga e rima tekau au.
14 Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.
Nana, i heke iho he ahi i te rangi, a pau ake nga rangatira tokorua o nga rima tekau o mua ake nei me a raua rima tekau: na kia nui toku wairua ki tou whakaaro.
15 And the angel of Yhwh said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.
Na ka mea te anahera a Ihowa ki a Iraia, Heke atu korua, kaua e wehi i a ia. Na whakatika ana ia, heke tahi ana raua ki te kingi.
16 And he said unto him, Thus saith Yhwh, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baal–zebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
Na ka mea tera ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Na kua unga tangata na koe ki te ui ki a Paarahepupa atua o Ekerono, he kore Atua ianei no Iharaira hei uinga mau i tana kupu? na reira, e kore koe e heke iho i te moenga i pikitia na e koe, enga ri ko te mate kau mou.
17 So he died according to the word of Yhwh which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
Heoi mate iho ia, i rite tonu ki te kupu a Ihowa i korerotia e Iraia. A ko Iehorama te kingi i muri i a ia, i te rua o nga tau o Iehorama tama a Iehohapata kingi o Hura; kahore hoki ana tama.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Na ko era atu mahi a Ahatia i mea ai ia, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira?
