Kings IV 7

1 And Elisaie said, Hear you the word of the Lord; Thus says the Lord, As at this time, to-morrow a measure of fine flour [shall be sold] for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gates of Samaria.

Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa, “Mou fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova; ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Feʻunga nai mo e feituʻulaʻā ni ʻapongipongi ʻe fakatau ʻae fuaʻanga mahoaʻa lelei ʻe taha ki he sikeli ʻe taha, mo e fuaʻanga ʻe ua ʻoe paʻale ki he sikeli ʻe taha, ʻi he matanikolo ʻo Samēlia.”

2 And the officer on whose hand the king rested, answered Elisaie, and said, Behold, [if] the Lord shall make flood-gates in heaven, might this thing be? and Elisaie said, Behold, you shall see with your eyes, but shall not eat thereof.

Pea ko e ʻeiki ko ia naʻe faʻaki ai ʻae tuʻi ki hono nima naʻe tali ʻo pehēange ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, “Vakai, ka ne ngaohi ʻe Sihova ha ngaahi kātupa ʻi he langi, ʻe faʻa fai koā ʻae meʻa ni?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai te ke mamata ki ai ʻaki ho mata ʻoʻou, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke kai mei ai.”

3 And there were four leprous men by the gate of the city: and one said to his neighbor, Why sit we here until we die?

Pea naʻe nofo ʻae kau tangata kilia ʻe toko fā ʻi he hūʻanga matapā [ʻoe kolo ]pea naʻa nau fepehēʻaki, “Ko e hā ʻoku tau nofo ai pe ʻi heni ke tau mate ai?

4 If we should say, Let us go into the city, then [there is] famine in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit here, then we shall die. Now then come, and let us fall upon the camp of the Syrians: if they should take us alive, then we shall live; and if they should put us to death, then we shall [only] die.

Kapau te tau pehē, “Ke tau hū atu ki loto kolo, ʻoku ʻi he kolo ʻae honge, pea te tau mate ai; pea kapau te tau nofo ai pe ʻi heni, te tau mate foki. Ko ia ke tau ō mo hoko ange ki he kautau mei Silia: kapau te nau fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu, pehē te tau moʻui; pea kapau te nau tāmateʻi ʻakitautolu, te tau mate pe.”

5 And they rose up while it was yet night, to go into the camp of Syria; and they came into a part of the camp of Syria, and behold, there [was] no man there.

Ko ia naʻa nau tuʻu hake ʻi he kei fakapoʻupoʻuli ke ʻalu ki he ʻapitanga ʻoe kakai Silia; pea ʻi heʻenau hoko ange ki he ngataʻanga ʻaupito ʻoe ʻapitanga ʻoe kakai Silia, vakai naʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻi ai.

6 For the Lord had made the army of Syria to hear a sound of chariots, and a sound of horses, [even] the sound of a great host: and [each] man said to his fellow, Now has the king of Israel hired against us the kings of the Chettites, and the kings of Egypt, to come against us.

He naʻe meʻa ʻe Sihova ke fanongo ʻe he kakai Silia ki he patū ʻoe ngaahi saliote, mo e longoaʻa ʻoe ngaahi fanga hoosi, ʻio, ki he patū mai ʻoe fuʻu kautau tokolahi: pea naʻa nau fepehēʻaki, Vakai kuo piutau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli mei he ngaahi tuʻi ʻoe kakai Heti, mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite ke haʻu ʻo tauʻi ʻakitautolu.

7 And they arose and fled while it was yet dark, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses in the camp, as they were, and fled for their lives.

Pea ko ia naʻa nau tutuʻu hake ai ʻo hola ʻi heʻene kei fakapoʻupoʻuli, mo nau siʻaki honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki, mo ʻenau fanga hoosi, mo ʻenau fanga ʻasi, ʻio, ʻae ʻapitanga kotoa mo ia naʻe ʻi ai, ka nau hola ke nau moʻui.

8 And these lepers entered a little way into the camp, and went into one tent, and ate and drank, and took thence silver, and gold, and raiment; and they went and returned thence, and entered into another tent, and took thence, and went and hid [the spoil].

Pea ʻi he hoko atu ʻae kau kilia ni ki he ngataʻanga ʻaupito ʻoe ʻapitanga, naʻa nau hū atu ki he fale fehikitaki ʻe taha, ʻonau kai mo inu, mo nau ʻave mei ai ʻae siliva, mo e koula, mo e ngaahi kofu, mo nau ʻalu ʻo fufū ia; mo nau toe haʻu ʻo hū ki he fale fehikitaki ʻe taha, ʻo fetuku foki mei ai, mo nau ʻalu ʻo fufū ia.

9 And [one] man said to his neighbor, We are not doing [well] thus: this day is a day of glad tidings, and we hold our peace, and are waiting till the morning light, and shall find mischief: now them come, and let us go into [the city], and report to the house of the king.

Hili ia naʻa nau fepehēʻaki, “ʻOku ʻikai lelei ʻae meʻa ʻoku tau fai: ko e ʻaho eni ko e ʻaho ʻoe ongoongolelei, ka ʻoku tau fakalongo pe: kapau te tau tatali kaeʻoua ke ʻaho, ʻe hoko ha kovi kiate kitautolu: ko ia mou omi, koeʻuhi ke tau ʻalu ʻo fakahā eni ki he kaungāfale ʻoe tuʻi.”

10 So they went and cried toward the gate of the city, and reported to them, saying, We went into the camp of Syria, and, behold, there is not there a man, nor voice of man, only horses tied and asses, and their tents as they were.

Ko ia naʻa nau haʻu mo nau ui ki he tangata leʻo ʻoe kolo: pea naʻa nau tala kiate kinautolu ʻo pehē, naʻa mau hoko ange ki he ʻapitanga ʻoe kakai Silia, pea vakai, naʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻi ai, pea naʻe ʻikai ongo ai ʻae leʻo ʻo ha tangata, ka naʻe noʻotaki ʻae fanga hoosi, mo e fanga ʻasi naʻe noʻotaki, mo e ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo hangē pe ko ʻenau tuʻu.

11 And the porters cried aloud, and reported to the house of the king within.

Pea naʻa ne ui ʻe ia ki he kau leʻo pea naʻa nau fakahā ia ki he kaungāfale ʻoe tuʻi ʻi loto fale.

12 And the king rose up by night, and said to his servants, I will now tell you what the Syrians have done to us. They knew that we are hungry; and they have gone forth from the camp and hidden themselves in the field, saying, They will come out of the city, and we shall catch them alive, and go into the city.

Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae tuʻi ʻi he kei poʻuli, ʻo ne pehē ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, Te u fakahā eni kiate kimoutolu ʻae meʻa kuo fai ʻe he kakai Silia kiate kitautolu. “ʻOku nau ʻilo ʻetau fiekaia; ko ia kuo nau ʻalu atu mei he ʻapitanga ke malumu ʻi he vao, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOka nau ka hū mai mei he kolo, te tau puke moʻui ʻakinautolu, mo hū atu ai ki he kolo.’”

13 And one of his servants answered and said, Let them now take five of the horses that were left, which were left here; behold, they are the number left to all the multitude of Israel; and we will send there and see.

Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ha tokotaha ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “ʻOku ou kole ke ke tuku ke toʻo ʻe ha niʻihi ʻae fanga hoosi ʻe nima ʻoku toe, ʻaia ʻoku kei toe ʻi he kolo, (vakai, ʻoku nau tatau pe mo e tokolahi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaia ʻoku kei toe ʻi ai: vakai, ʻoku nau hangē pe ko e tokolahi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaia kuo fakaʻauʻausino: ) pea ke tau fekau atu ʻo mamata.”

14 So they took two horsemen; and the king of Israel sent after the king of Syria, saying, Go, and see.

Ko ia naʻa nau toʻo ai ʻae ongo hoosi toho saliote ʻe ua; pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe he tuʻi ki he kautau ʻo Silia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻAlu ʻo vakai.”

15 And they went after them even to Jordan: and, behold, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their panic. and the messengers returned, and brought word to the king.

Pea naʻa nau muimui kiate kinautolu ʻo aʻu atu ki Sioatani: pea vakai, naʻe felefeleʻi ʻi he hala ʻae ngaahi kofu mo e ngaahi ipu, ʻaia naʻe liʻaki ʻe he kakai Silia ʻi heʻenau hola fakavavevave. Pea naʻe liliu mai ʻae kau talafekau, mo nau fakahā ia ki he tuʻi.

16 And the people went out, and plundered the camp of Syria: and a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, according to the word of the Lord, and two measures of barley for a shekel.

Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae kakai, mo nau veteki ʻae ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai Silia. Pea pehē, naʻe fakatau ʻae fuaʻanga ʻe taha ʻoe mahoaʻa lelei ʻaki ʻae sikeli ʻe taha, mo e fuaʻanga paʻale ʻe ua ʻaki ʻae sikeli ʻe taha, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova.

17 And the king appointed the officer on whose hand the king leaned [to have charge] over the gate: and the people trampled on him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God [had] said, who spoke when the messenger came down to him.

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ki he ʻeiki ʻaia naʻa ne faʻaki ki hono nima ke ʻaʻana ʻae leʻohi ʻoe matapā: pea naʻe malamalaki ia ʻe he kakai ʻi he matapā, pea naʻa ne mate, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fakahā ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe lea kiate ia ʻi heʻene ʻalu hifo ʻae tuʻi ki ai.

18 So it came to pass as Elisaie had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley [shall be sold] for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel; and it shall be as at this time to-morrow in the gate of Samaria.

Pea naʻe hoko ia ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ki he tuʻi, ʻo pehē, Ko e fuaʻanga ʻe ua ʻoe paʻale ki he sikeli ʻe taha, mo e fuaʻanga ʻe taha ʻoe mahoaʻa lelei ki he sikeli ʻe taha, ʻe [fakatau ]ʻapongipongi ʻo feʻunga nai mo e feituʻulaʻā ni ʻi he matapā ʻo Samēlia:

19 And the officer answered Elisaie, and said, Behold, [if] the Lord makes flood-gates in heaven, shall this thing be? and Elisaie said, Behold, you shall see [it] with your eyes, but you shall not eat thereof.

Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe he ʻeiki ko ia ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, “Vakai mai, kapau ʻe ngaohi ʻe Sihova ha ngaahi kātupa ʻi he langi, ʻe mafai ai ha meʻa pehē?” Pea naʻa ne pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai, te ke sio ki ai ʻaki ho mata, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke kai mei ai.”

20 And it was so: for the people trampled on him in the gate, and he died.

Pea naʻe pehē pe ʻae meʻa naʻe hoko kiate ia: he naʻe malamalaki ia ʻe he kakai ʻi he matapā, pea naʻa ne mate.
