< Kings IV 2 >

1 And it came to pass, when the Lord was going to take Eliu with a whirlwind as it were into heaven, that Eliu and Elisaie went out of Galgala.
Na, i te meatanga a Ihowa kia tangohia atu a Iraia ki te rangi i roto i te tukauati, ka haere atu a Iraira raua ko Eriha i Kirikara.
2 And Eliu said to Elisaie, Stay here, I pray you; for God has sent me to Baethel. And Elisaie said, [As] the Lord lives and your soul lives, I will not leave you; so they came to Baethel.
Na ka mea atu a Iraia ki a Eriha, Hei konei koe noho ai, kua unga hoki ahau e Ihowa ki Peteere. Ano ra ko Eriha, E ora ana a Ihowa, e ora ana hoki tou wairua, e kore ahau e whakarere i a koe. Heoi haere tahi ana raua ki raro, ki Peteere.
3 And the sons of the prophets who were in Baethel came to Elisaie, and said to him, Do you know, that the Lord this day is going to take your lord away from your head? And he said, Yes, I know [it]; be silent.
Na ka puta mai nga tama a nga poropiti i Peteere ki a Eriha, a ka mea ki a ia, E mohio ana ranei koe ko aianei tangohia ai e Ihowa tou ariki i runga i tou upoko? Ano ra ko ia, E mohio ana ano ahau; whakarongoa.
4 And Eliu said to Elisaie, Stay here, I pray you; for the Lord has sent me to Jericho. And he said, [As] the Lord lives and your soul lives, I will not leave you. And they came to Jericho.
Na ka mea a Iraia ki a ia, E Eriha, heoi konei koe noho ai; kua unga hoki ahau e Ihowa ki Heriko. Ano ra ko tera, E ora ana a Ihowa, e ora ana hoki tou wairua, e kore ahau e whakarere i a koe. Heoi haere ana raua ki Heriko.
5 And the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho drew near to Elisaie, and said to him, Do you know that the Lord is about to take away your master today from your head? And he said, Yes, I know [it]; hold your peace.
Na ka whakatata mai nga tama a nga poropiti i Heriko ki a Eriha, a ka mea ki a ia, E mohio ana ranei koe ko aianei tangohia ai e Ihowa tou ariki i runga i tou upoko? Ano ra ko ia, E mohio ana ano ahau; whakarongoa.
6 And Eliu said to him, Stay here, I pray you, for the Lord has sent me to Jordan. And Elisaie said, [As] the Lord lives and your soul lives, I will not leave you: and they both went on.
Na ka mea a Iraia ki a ia, Hei konei koe noho ai; kua unga hoki ahau e Ihowa ki Horano. Ano ra ko tera, E ora ana a Ihowa, e ora ana ano hoki tou wairua, e kore ahau e whakarere i a koe. Na haere ana raua tokorua.
7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets [went also], and they stood opposite afar off: and both stood on [the bank] of Jordan.
Na ka haere etahi tangata e rima tekau, he tama na nga poropiti, a tu atu ana i tawhiti; me te tu ano raua tokorua i te taha o Horano.
8 And Eliu took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and struck the water: and the water was divided on this side and on that side, and they both went over on dry ground.
Na ka mau a Iraia ki tona koroka, whakakopaia ana e ia, patua ana ki nga wai, a ka wehea ki tetahi taha, ki tetahi taha, a whiti ana raua i te wahi maroke.
9 And it came to pass while they were crossing over, that Eliu said to Elisaie, Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken up from you. And Elisaie said, Let there be, I pray you, a double [portion] of your spirit upon me.
A, no to raua whitinga, ka mea a Iraira ki a Eriha, Tonoa mai, ko te aha e meatia e ahau mau i ahau kiano kia wehea noatia i a koe. Ano ra ko Eriha, Kia rereruatia mai ki ahau te wahi wairua i a koe na.
10 And Eliu said, You have asked a hard thing: if you shall see me when I am taken up from you, then shall it be so to you; and if not, it shall not be [so].
Na ka mea tera, He mea pakeke tau i tono mai na: he ahakoa ra, ki te kite koe i ahau e tangohia atu ana i a koe, ka rite ki tau na; ki te kahore, ka kore e pena.
11 And it came to pass as they were going, they went on talking; and, behold, a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and it separated between them both; and Eliu was taken up in a whirlwind as it were into heaven.
Na, i a raua e haere ana, me te korero haere, ka puta mai tetahi hariata ahi me nga hoiho ahi, a wehea ana raua tokorua; a kake ana a Iraia i roto i te tukauati ki te rangi.
12 And Elisaie saw, and cried, Father, father, the chariot of Israel, and the horseman thereof! And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his garments, and tore them into two pieces.
A ka kite a Eriha, ka karanga ia, E toku papa, e toku papa, e nga hariata o Iharaira, e ona kaieke hoiho! A kihai ia i kite i a ia i muri. Na ka mau ia ki ona kakahu ake, a haea iho kia rua nga wahi.
13 And Elisaie took up the mantle of Eliu, which fell from off him upon Elisaie; and Elisaie returned, and stood upon the brink of Jordan;
I tangohia ake hoki e ia te koroka o Iraia i marere i runga i a ia, e hoki ana, tu ana i te pareparenga o Horano.
14 and he took the mantle of Eliu, which fell from off him, and struck the water, and said, Where is the Lord God of Eliu? and he struck the waters, and they were divided hither and there; and Elisaie went over.
Na ka mau ia ki te koroka o Iraia i marere nei i runga i a ia, a patua iho ki nga wai, me te ki ano, Kei hea ra a Ihowa, te Atua o Iraia? Na, ka patua e ia nga wai, wehe ana ki tetahi taha, ki tetahi taha: a whiti ana a Eriha.
15 And the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho on the opposite side saw him, and said, The spirit of Eliu has rested upon Elisaie. And they came to meet him, and did obeisance to him to the ground.
A, no te kitenga o nga tama a nga poropiti, o era o Heriko i te ritenga mai ki a ia, ka mea ratou, Kua tau te wairua o Iraia ki runga ki a Eriha. Na haere ana mai ratou ki te whakatau i a ia, piko ana ki tona aroaro ki te whenua.
16 And they said to him, Behold now, [there are] with your servants fifty men of strength: let them go now, and seek your lord: perhaps the Spirit of the Lord has taken him up, and cast him into Jordan, or on one of the mountains, or on one of the hills. And Elisaie said, You shall not send.
Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Nana, tenei etahi tangata e rima tekau kei au pononga, he marohirohi; tukua ratou kia haere ki te rapu i tou ariki; kei tupono kua kahakina atu ia e te wairua o Ihowa, kua maka ki runga ki tetahi maunga, ki roto ranei ki tetahi awaawa. Na ka mea ia, Kaua e unga.
17 And they pressed him until he was ashamed; and he said, Send. And they sent fifty men, and sought three days, and found him not.
A, i ta ratou tohenga a whakama noa ia, ka ki atu ia, Unga. Na unga ana e ratou e rima tekau nga tangata: a e toru nga ra i rapu ai ratou, heoi kihai i kitea.
18 And they returned to him, for he lived in Jericho: and Elisaie said, Did I not say to you, Go not?
Na hoki ana ratou ki a ia, i Heriko hoki ia e noho ana; a ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kihai ianei ahau i ki atu ki a koutou, Kaua e haere?
19 And the men of the city said to Elisaie, Behold, the situation of the city [is] good, as [our] lord sees; but the waters [are] bad, and the ground barren.
Na ka mea nga tangata o te pa ki a Eriha, Nana, he pai te turanga o tenei pa, e kite nei hoki toku ariki; engari ko te wai he kino, a ko te whenua he whakatahe.
20 And Elisaie said, Bring me a new pitcher, and put salt in it. And they took [one], and brought [it] to him.
Na ka mea ia, Maua mai he oko hou ki ahau, ka mea he tote ki roto. Na ka kawea mai e ratou ki a ia
21 And Elisaie went out to the spring of the waters, and cast salt therein, and says, Thus says the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be any longer death thence or barren [land].
Na haere ana ia ki te matapuna o te wai, a maka ana te tote ki roto, me te ki ano, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kua ora tenei wai i ahau; heoi ano o konei mate, o konei whakatahe.
22 And the waters were healed until this day, according to the word of Elisaie which he spoke.
Na ora tonu ake taua wai a mohoa noa nei, pera tonu me ta Eriha kupu i korero ai.
23 And he went up thence to Baethel: and as he was going up by the way there came up also little children from the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, bald-head, go up.
Na ka haere atu ia i reira ki Peteere; a, i a ia e haere ana i te ara, ka puta mai etahi tamariki ririki i te pa, ka taunu ki a ia, ka mea, Pakira, haere ki runga; pakira, haere ki runga.
24 And he turned after them, and saw them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And, behold, there came out two bears out of the wood, and they tore forty and two children of them.
Na ka tahuri ake ia, ka titiro ki a ratou, a kanga iho ratou i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa. Na ko te putanga mai o nga pea uha e rua i te ngahere, a haehaea ana etahi o ratou, e wha tekau ma rua nga tamariki.
25 And he went thence to mount Carmel, and returned thence to Samaria.
Na haere atu ana ia i reira ki Maunga Karamere, a hoki ana i reira ki Hamaria.
