2 Kings 4

1 And a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets has cried to Elisha, saying, “Your servant, my husband, is dead, and you have known that your servant was fearing YHWH, and the lender has come to take my two children to himself for servants.”

Pea ko eni, naʻe tangi kalanga ha fefine ko e tokotaha ʻi he ngaahi uaifi ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita, kia ʻIlaisa, ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo pekia ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko hoku husepāniti; pea ʻoku ke ʻilo naʻe manavahē ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki kia Sihova: pea kuo haʻu ʻae tangata ʻeke totongi ke ne ʻave mo ia ʻa ʻeku ongo tama ke na tamaioʻeiki kiate ia.”

2 And Elisha says to her, “What do I do for you? Declare to me, what do you have in the house?” And she says, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house except a pot of oil.”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa kiate ia, “Ko e hā ha meʻa te u fai maʻau? Fakahā mai pe ko e hā ha meʻa ʻoku ke maʻu ʻi fale?” Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe ia, “ʻOku ʻikai maʻu ʻe hoʻo kaunanga ha meʻa ʻi fale, ka ko e hina pe taha ʻoe lolo.”

3 And he says, “Go, ask [for] vessels for yourself from outside, from all your neighbors—empty vessels—let [them] not be few;

Pea toki pehē ʻe ia, “Ke ke ʻalu, mo kole mai ha ngaahi ipu mei ho kāinga kotoa pē, ʻae ngaahi ngeʻesi ipu; pea ʻoua naʻa kole fakasiʻisiʻi pe.

4 and you have entered, and have shut the door on you, and on your sons, and have poured it into all these vessels, and the full ones you remove.”

Pea ʻoka ke ka toe hū mai, te ke tāpuni ʻae matapā kiate koe, pea mo hoʻo ongotama, pea te ke lilingi ki he ngaahi ipu kotoa pē ko ia, pea te ke tuku kehe ʻaia ʻoku fakafonu.”

5 And she goes from him, and shuts the door on her, and on her sons; they are bringing [them] near to her, and she is pouring [it] out,

Ko ia naʻa ne ʻalu atu meiate ia, mo ne tāpuni ʻae matapā kiate ia mo ʻene ongotama, ʻaia naʻe fetuku mai [ʻae ngaahi ipu ]kiate ia; ka naʻe lilingi atu ʻe ia.

6 and it comes to pass, at the filling of the vessels, that she says to her son, “Bring another vessel near to me,” and he says to her, “There is not another vessel”; and the oil stays.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene pito ʻae ngaahi ipu, naʻa ne pehēange ki heʻene tama, “Toe ʻomi mo ha ipu ʻe taha.” Pea naʻe pehē atu ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai toe ha taha.” Pea naʻe tuku ʻae tafe ʻoe lolo.

7 And she comes and declares [it] to the man of God, and he says, “Go, sell the oil, and repay your loan; and you [and] your sons live off the rest.”

Pea naʻa ne toki haʻu ʻo fakahā ia ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻAlu, ʻo fakatau ʻae lolo, pea ʻatu ʻae totongi kiate ia ʻoku ʻeke, pea ko hono toe ke ke moʻui ai koe pea mo hoʻo fānau.”

8 And the day comes that Elisha passes over to Shunem, and there [is] a great woman, and she lays hold on him to eat bread, and it comes to pass, at the time of his passing over, he turns aside there to eat bread,

Pea ko e ʻaho ʻe taha naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa ʻIlaisa ki Sunemi, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ha fefine koloaʻia; pea naʻa ne taʻofi ia ke ne kai ha meʻa. Pea naʻe pehē, ʻilonga pe ʻa ʻene ʻalu atu ai naʻa ne foki atu ke kai mā ʻi ai.

9 and she says to her husband, “Now behold, I have known that he is a holy man of God, passing over by us continually;

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fefine ki hono husepāniti, “Vakai mai, ʻoku ou ʻilo ko e tangata māʻoniʻoni eni ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku afe mai kiate kitaua maʻuaipē.

10 please let us make a little upper chamber of the wall, and we set for him there a bed, and a table, and a high seat, and a lampstand; and it has been, in his coming to us, he turns aside there.”

Ke ta ngaohi ha kihiʻi potu fale, ʻi he funga ʻā maka; pea ke ta tuku maʻana ha mohenga ʻi ai, mo ha palepale, mo ha nofoʻa, mo ha tuʻunga maama: pea ʻe pehē, ʻoka haʻu ia kiate kitaua, te ne nofo ki ai.”

11 And the day comes that he comes in there, and turns aside to the upper chamber, and lies there,

Pea naʻe hoko ki he ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻa ne haʻu ki ai, pea naʻa ne afe atu ki he potu fale, mo tokoto ai.

12 and he says to his young man Gehazi, “Call for this Shunammite”; and he calls for her, and she stands before him.

Pea naʻa ne pehē ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Kehesi, “Ui mai ʻae fefine Sunemi ni.” Pea hili ʻa ʻene ui ki ai naʻa ne tuʻu mai ʻi hono ʻao.

13 And he says to him, “Now say to her, Behold, you have troubled yourself concerning us with all this trouble; what can [I] do for you? Is it to speak for you to the king, or to the head of the host?” And she says, “I am dwelling in the midst of my people.”

Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Ke ke fakahā ni kiate ia, Vakai, kuo ke tokanga kiate kimaua ʻi he tokanga lahi ni; ka ko e hā ha meʻa ʻe fai maʻau? Te ke loto ke fai ha lea maʻau ki he tuʻi, pe ki he ʻeiki pule ʻoe kautau?” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou nofo pe ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hoku kakai ʻoʻoku.”

14 And he says, “And what can [I] do for her?” And Gehazi says, “Truly she has no son, and her husband [is] aged.”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ka kuo pehē, pea ko e hā ha meʻa ʻe fai maʻana?” Pea naʻe pehē atu ʻe Kehesi, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ʻikai haʻane tamasiʻi, pea kuo motuʻa ʻa hono husepāniti.”

15 And he says, “Call for her”; and he calls for her, and she stands at the opening,

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ui atu kiate ia.” Pea ʻosi ʻa ʻene ui ia, naʻa ne tuʻu ʻi he hūʻanga matapā.

16 and he says, “At this season, according to the time of life, you are embracing a son”; and she says, “No, my lord, O man of God, do not lie to your maidservant.”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻI he faʻahitaʻu ko eni, ʻo fakatatau mo hono kuonga, te ke fāʻufua ha tama.” Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOua, ʻa hoku ʻeiki, ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke loi ki hoʻo kaunanga.”

17 And the woman conceives and bears a son, at this season, according to the time of life that Elisha spoke of to her.

Pea naʻe tuituʻia ʻae fefine, pea ne fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama ʻi he kuonga ko ia naʻe fakahā kiate ia ʻe ʻIlaisa, ʻo fakatatau mo e kuonga ʻoe feitama.

18 And the boy grows, and the day comes that he goes out to his father, to the reapers,

Pea ʻi heʻene tupu ke lahi ʻae tamasiʻi, naʻe hoko ki he ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻe ʻalu ai ia ki heʻene tamai mo e kau tuʻusi ʻoe ututaʻu.

19 and he says to his father, “My head, my head”; and he says to the young man, “Carry him to his mother”;

Pea naʻa ne pehē ki heʻene tamai, “ʻA hoku ʻulu, ʻa hoku ʻulu!” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki ha tama talavou, “Fua ia ʻo ʻave ki heʻene faʻē.”

20 and he carries him, and brings him to his mother, and he sits on her knees until the noon, and dies.

Pea ʻi heʻene ʻave ia, mo ʻomi ki heʻene faʻē, naʻa ne nofo ki hono funga tui ʻo aʻu ki he hoʻatāmālie, pea pekia.

21 And she goes up, and lays him on the bed of the man of God, and shuts [the door] on him, and goes out,

Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ia, ʻo ne fakatokoto ia ki he mohenga ʻoe tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, mo ne tāpuni ʻae matapā kiate ia, pea ʻalu ia kituʻa.

22 and calls to her husband and says, “Please send one of the young men and one of the donkeys to me, and I run to the man of God, and return.”

Pea naʻa ne ui atu ki hono husepāniti, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou kole, ke ke fekau mai ha taha ʻoe kau talavou, mo ha ʻasi ʻe taha, koeʻuhi ke u lele ai ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, mo toe haʻu.”

23 And he says, “Why are you going to him today? [It is] neither new moon nor Sabbath!” And she says, “Peace [to you]!”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā te ke ʻalu ai kiate ia he ʻaho ni? ʻOku ʻikai ko e māhina foʻou, pe ko e ʻaho tapu.” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “Fiemālie pe.”

24 And she saddles the donkey and says to her young man, “Lead, and go, do not restrain riding for me, except I have commanded [so] to you.”

Pea naʻa ne toki ʻai ʻae hekaʻanga ki he ʻasi, mo ne pehē ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, “Fai vave, mo ʻalu atu pe, ʻoua naʻa ke fakatuotuai ʻae ʻalu [ʻae manu, ]ka ʻi heʻeku fekau pe ʻaʻaku.”

25 And she goes, and comes to the man of God, to the hill of Carmel, and it comes to pass, at the man of God’s seeing her from within view, that he says to his young man Gehazi, “Behold, this Shunammite;

Ko ia naʻa ne ʻalu mo ne hoko atu ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he moʻunga ko Kameli. Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene mamata kei mamaʻo ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua kiate ia, naʻa ne pehē kia Kehesi ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki, “Vakai, ko ʻena ʻae fefine Sunemi:

26 now please run to meet her, and say to her, Is there peace to you? Is there peace to your husband? Is there peace to the boy?” And she says, “Peace.”

Lele leva, pea fakafetaulaki kiate ia, mo ke pehē ki ai, ʻOku ke lelei pe koe? ʻOku lelei pe ʻa ho husepāniti? ʻOku lelei pe mo hoʻo tamasiʻi? pea naʻe tali ʻe ia [ʻo pehē], ʻOku lelei pe.”

27 And she comes to the man of God, to the hill, and lays hold on his feet, and Gehazi comes near to thrust her away, and the man of God says, “Leave her alone, for her soul [is] bitter to her, and YHWH has hidden [it] from me, and has not declared [it] to me.”

Pea ʻi heʻene hoko mai ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ki he moʻunga, naʻa ne puke ia ʻi hono vaʻe: ka naʻe fakaofi mai ʻa Kehesi ke ne teketekeʻi atu ia. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, “Tuku ai pe ia; he kuo mamahi ʻa hono loto ʻiate ia: pea kuo fakafufū ia meiate au ʻe Sihova ʻo ne taʻefakahā ia kiate au.”

28 And she says, “Did I ask for a son from my lord? Did I not say, Do not deceive me?”

Pea toki pehē ʻe he fefine, “He naʻaku holi ki ha tama mei hoku ʻeiki? ʻIkai naʻaku pehē, Ke ʻoua naʻa kākaaʻi au?”

29 And he says to Gehazi, “Gird up your loins, and take my staff in your hand, and go; when you meet a man, you do not greet him; and when a man greets you, you do not answer him; and you have laid my staff on the face of the youth.”

Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe ia kia Kehesi, “ʻAi ho noʻotangavala, pea toʻo ʻa hoku tokotoko ʻi ho nima, pea ʻalu ʻi ho hala; kapau te mo fetaulaki mo ha tangata, ʻoua naʻa fetapa mo ia; pea kapau ʻe fetapa mai ha tokotaha kiate koe, ʻoua naʻa ke toe leaange ki ai: pea ke ʻai ʻa hoku tokotoko ki he mata ʻoe tamasiʻi.”

30 And the mother of the youth says, “YHWH lives, and your soul lives—if I leave you”; and he rises and goes after her.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he faʻē ʻae tamasiʻi, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea ʻi he moʻui mo ho laumālie, ʻe ʻikai te u liʻaki koe.” Pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake ʻo muimui ʻiate ia.

31 And Gehazi has passed on before them, and lays the staff on the face of the youth, and there is no voice, and there is no attention, and he turns back to meet him, and declares to him, saying, “The youth has not awoken.”

Pea naʻe muʻomuʻa atu ʻa Kehesi ʻi hona ʻao, mo ne hilifaki ʻae tokotoko ki he mata ʻoe tamasiʻi; ka naʻe ʻikai ke lea, pe ongoʻi. Ko ia naʻa ne toe ʻalu ke fetaulaki kiate ia, mo ne fakahā ki ai, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ke fakaʻā ʻae tamasiʻi.”

32 And Elisha comes into the house, and behold, the youth is dead, laid on his bed,

Pea ʻi heʻene hoko mai ʻa ʻIlaisa ki he fale, vakai, naʻe mate ʻae tamasiʻi, pea naʻe fakatokoto ʻi hono mohenga.

33 and he goes in and shuts the door on them both, and prays to YHWH.

Ko ia naʻa ne hū ai ki loto [fale], mo ne tāpuni ʻae matapā ke na toko ua pe, pea naʻa ne lotu kia Sihova.

34 And he goes up, and lies down on the boy, and puts his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands, and stretches himself on him, and the flesh of the boy becomes warm;

Pea naʻa ne ʻalu hake, mo ne tokoto hifo ki he tamasiʻi, ʻo ne ʻai ʻa hono ngutu ʻoʻona ki hono ngutu, mo hono mata ki hono mata, mo hono nima ki hono nima; pea naʻa ne fakatokoto ia ki he tamasiʻi; pea naʻe fakaʻaʻau ke mafana ʻae sino ʻoe tamasiʻi.

35 and he turns back and walks in the house, once here and once there, and goes up and stretches himself on him, and the youth sneezes until seven times, and the youth opens his eyes.

Pea naʻa ne toe haʻu, mo ne ʻeveʻeva feʻaluʻaki pe ʻi he fale; pea ne ʻalu hake, mo ne fakatokoto ia kiate ia: pea naʻe mafatua ʻae tamasiʻi ʻo liunga fitu, pea naʻe fakaava ʻe he tamasiʻi ʻa hono mata.

36 And he calls to Gehazi and says, “Call to this Shunammite”; and he calls her, and she comes to him, and he says, “Lift up your son.”

Pea naʻa ne ui kia Kehesi, ʻo ne pehē, “Ui mai ʻa e [fefine ]Sunemi.” Pea naʻa ne ui ki ai. Pea ʻi heʻene hū mai kiate ia, naʻa ne pehē ʻe ia, “Toʻo hake ʻa hoʻo tama.”

37 And she goes in, and falls at his feet, and bows herself to the earth, and lifts up her son, and goes out.

Pea naʻa ne toki hū ange, mo tō hifo ki hono vaʻe, mo ne punou hifo ki he kelekele, mo ne toʻo hake ʻa ʻene tama, ʻo ʻalu atu kituʻa.

38 And Elisha has turned back to Gilgal, and the famine [is] in the land, and the sons of the prophets are sitting before him, and he says to his young man, “Set on the great pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.”

Pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻa ʻIlaisa ki Kilikali: pea naʻe ai ʻae honge ʻi he fonua; pea naʻe nofo ʻi hono ʻao ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita: pea naʻa ne pehē ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, Fokotuʻu ʻae kulo lahi, pea haka ha meʻakai maʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita.

39 And one goes out to the field to gather herbs, and finds a vine of the field, and gathers gourds of the field from it—the fullness of his garment—and comes in and splits [them] into the pot of stew, for they did not know [them];

Pea naʻe ʻalu ha tokotaha ki he ngoue ke tānaki ʻae louʻakau, pea naʻa ne ʻilo ai ʻae vaine tupu vao, pea naʻa ne tānaki mei ai ʻae ngaahi fua ke pito ai hono kofu, pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻo hifi ia ki he kulo ʻoe haka lū: he naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo hono anga.

40 and they pour out for the men to eat, and it comes to pass at their eating of the stew, that they have cried out, and say, “Death [is] in the pot, O man of God!” And they have not been able to eat.

Ko ia naʻa nau lilingi atu koeʻuhi ke kai ʻe he kau tangata. Pea ʻiloange, lolotonga ʻenau kai ʻae lū, naʻa nau ui atu, ʻo pehē, “ʻE tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku ʻi he kulo ʻae mate.” Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa kai mei ai.

41 And he says, “Then bring a meal”; and he casts into the pot and says, “Pour out for the people, and they eat”; and there was no bad thing in the pot.

Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOmi ha mahoaʻa.” Pea naʻa ne ʻai ia ki he kulo; pea naʻa ne pehē, “Lilingi atu maʻae kakai, koeʻuhi ke nau kai.” Pea tā naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa kovi ʻi he kulo.

42 And a man has come from Ba‘al-Shalishah, and brings to the man of God bread of first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of grain in its husk, and he says, “Give to the people, and they eat.”

Pea naʻe haʻu ha tangata mei Pealisalisa, ʻo ne ʻomi ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ʻae mā ʻoe ʻuluaki fua, ko e foʻi mā paʻale ʻe uofulu, mo e ngaahi fuhinga koane mo hono kafukafu. Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻAtu ia ki he kakai ke nau kai ia.”

43 And his minister says, “How do I give this before one hundred men?” And he says, “Give to the people, and they eat, for thus said YHWH: Eat and leave”;

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe heʻene tamaioʻeiki, “Ko e hā, te u ʻai atu eni koā ʻi he ʻao ʻo ha kau tangata ʻe toko teau?” Pea naʻe toe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻAtu ki he kakai, ke nau kai ai: he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Te nau kai ai pea ʻe toe pe.”

44 and he gives before them, and they eat and leave, according to the word of YHWH.

Pea pehē, naʻa ne tuku ia ki honau ʻao, pea naʻa nau kai, pea naʻe toe pe, ʻo fakatatau ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.
