< 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.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he te u ʻe Sihova ke toʻo hake ʻa ʻIlaisiā ki loto langi ʻi he ʻahiohio, naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻIlaisiā mo ʻIlaisa mei Kilikali.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā kia ʻIlaisa, “ʻOku ou kole ke ke tatali koe ʻi heni; he kuo fekauʻi au ʻe Sihova ki Peteli.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku moʻui ho laumālie, pea ʻe ʻikai te u mahuʻi meiate koe.” Pea ko ia naʻa na ʻalu hifo ai ki Peteli.
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.
Pea naʻe hū mai kia ʻIlaisa ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita ʻaia naʻe ʻi Peteli, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻe ʻave ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo ʻeiki mei ho ʻulu he ʻaho ni?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻIo, ʻoku ou ʻilo; ka mou longo pe kimoutolu.”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā kiate ia, “ʻIlaisa, ʻOku ou kole ke ke tatali ʻi heni; he kuo fekauʻi au ʻe Sihova ki Seliko.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku moʻui ho laumālie, pea ʻe ʻikai te u mahuʻi meiate koe.” Ko ia naʻa na hoko ai ki Seliko.
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.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita ʻaia naʻe ʻi Seliko kia ʻIlaisa, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻe ʻave ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo ʻeiki mei ho ʻulu he ʻaho ni?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻIo, ʻoku ou ʻilo; ka mou longo pe kimoutolu.”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā kiate ia, “ʻOku ou kole ke ke tatali koe ʻi heni; he kuo fekauʻi au ʻe Sihova ki Sioatani.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku moʻui ho laumālie, pea ʻe ʻikai te u mahuʻi meiate koe.” Pea naʻe ʻalu atu pe ʻakinaua ni.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nimangofulu ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita, ʻonau tutuʻu ke sio mei he mamaʻo: pea naʻe tutuʻu ʻakinaua ʻo feʻunga atu mo Sioatani.
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.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe ʻIlaisiā ʻa hono pulupulu, mo ne takai fakataha ia, mo ne tā ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi vai, pea naʻe vaheua ia, pea ko ia naʻa na ʻalu atu ai ʻi he kelekele mōmoa.
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.
Pea hili ʻena ʻalu ki he kauvai ʻe taha naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā kia ʻIlaisa, “Ke ke tala mai pe ko e hā ha meʻa te u fai maʻau ʻi he teʻeki ʻave au meiate koe.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke ʻiate au ha vāhenga ʻe ua ʻo ho ʻulungāanga ʻoʻou.”
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].
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku faingataʻa ʻae meʻa kuo ke kole ki ai: Ka koeʻuhi, kapau te ke mamata ki he ʻave au meiate koe, ʻe hoko ʻo pehē kiate koe pea kapau ʻe ʻikai, pea ʻe ʻikai hoko ia.”
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.
Pea vakai, lolotonga ʻa ʻena kei ʻalu atu, mo talanoa, naʻe hā mai ha saliote afi, mo e fanga hoosi ʻoe afi, pea naʻe māvae ai ʻakinaua; pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa ʻIlaisiā ʻi he ʻahiohio ki he langi.
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.
Pea naʻe mamata ki ai ʻa ʻIlaisa, pea naʻa ne kalanga, “ʻA ʻeku tamai, ʻa ʻeku tamai, ko e saliote ʻo ʻIsileli, mo e kau heka hoosi ʻo ia.” Pea naʻe ʻikai toe mamata ia kiate ia: pea naʻa ne puke ʻa hono ngaahi kofu ʻoʻona, mo ne haeua ia.
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;
Naʻa ne toʻo hake foki ʻae pulupulu ʻo ʻIlaisiā ʻaia naʻe tō hifo meiate ia, pea ne foki ki mui, mo ne tuʻu ki he kauvai ʻo Sioatani:
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.
Pea naʻa ne toʻo ʻae pulupulu ʻo ʻIlaisiā ʻaia naʻe tō hifo meiate ia, ʻo ne tā ʻaki ʻae ngaahi vai, mo ne pehē, “Ko fē ia ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIlaisiā?” Pea ʻi heʻene tā foki ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi vai, naʻa nau vahe kehekehe, ka ka ʻalu atu ʻa ʻIlaisa [ki he kauvai ]ʻe taha.
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.
Pea ʻi he sio kiate ia ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita ʻaia naʻe ʻalu atu mei Seliko ke mamata, naʻa nau pehē, “Kuo hoko ʻae laumālie ʻo ʻIlaisiā kia ʻIlaisa.” Pea naʻa nau omi ke fetaulaki mai kiate ia, mo nau fakatōmapeʻe hifo kinautolu ki he kelekele ʻi hono ʻao.
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.
Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Ko eni, vakai, ʻoku ʻi hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae kau tangata mālohi ʻe toko nimangofulu; ʻoku mau kole, ke ke tuku ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu, ʻo kumi ki hoʻo ʻeiki: telia naʻa kuo toʻo hake ia ʻe he Laumālie ʻo Sihova, mo ne lī hifo ia ki ha tumuʻaki moʻunga, pe ki ha teleʻa.” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻE ʻikai te mou fekau [ha niʻihi].”
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.
Pea ʻi heʻenau kole fakafiu kiate ia, naʻa ne pehē, “Fekau pe.” Ko ia naʻa nau fekau atu ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nimangofulu; pea naʻa nau kumi ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu, ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia.
18 And they returned to him, for he lived in Jericho: and Elisaie said, Did I not say to you, Go not?
Pea ʻi heʻenau toe hoko mai kiate ia, (he naʻa ne tatali pe ʻi Seliko, ) naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻIkai naʻaku tala kiate kimoutolu, Ke ʻoua naʻa mou ʻalu?”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau tangata ʻoe kolo kia ʻIlaisa, “Vakai koe, ʻoku matamatalelei ʻae tuʻuʻanga ʻoe kolo ni, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku sio ki ai ʻa hoku ʻeiki: ka ʻoku kovi ʻa hono vai, pea ʻoku kakā ʻae kelekele.”
20 And Elisaie said, Bring me a new pitcher, and put salt in it. And they took [one], and brought [it] to him.
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻOmi kiate au ha ipu kelekele foʻou, pea ʻai ha māsima ki ai.” Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ia kiate 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].
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia ki he punaʻanga ʻoe ngaahi vai, mo ne lī ki ai ʻae māsima, mo ne pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Kuo u fakamoʻui ʻae ngaahi vai ni; ʻe ʻikai toe hoko mei ai ha mate pe ha taʻefua.’”
22 And the waters were healed until this day, according to the word of Elisaie which he spoke.
Pea pehē, naʻe fakamoʻui ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni, ʻo fakatatau ki he lea naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ʻIlaisiā.
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.
Pea naʻa ne ʻalu hake mei he potu ko ia ki Peteli: pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu hake ʻi he hala, naʻe hū mai mei he kolo ʻae tamaiki iiki, ʻonau manuki kiate ia, mo nau pehē ki ai, “ʻAlu hake, ʻa koe ko e tula; ʻalu hake ʻa koe ko e tula ē.”
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.
Pea naʻa ne tangaki ki mui, mo ne sio kiate kinautolu, pea ne fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova. Pea naʻe haʻu mei he vao ʻae ongo pea fefine ʻe ua, ʻo na haehae ʻae fānau ʻe toko fāngofulu ma toko ua ʻiate kinautolu.
25 And he went thence to mount Carmel, and returned thence to Samaria.
Pea naʻa ne ʻalu atu mei he potu ko ia ki he moʻunga ko Kameli, pea naʻa ne foki mai mei ai ki Samēlia.
