2 Kings 7

1 Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD, To-morrow about this time [shall] a measure of fine flour [be sold] for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.

A ka mea a Eriha, Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowa: ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kia penei apopo ka hokona he mehua paraoa mo te hekere, nga mehua parei e rua mo te hekere, i te kuwaha o Hamaria.

2 Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, [if] the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see [it] with thy eyes, but shalt not eat of it.

Na ka whakahokia e tetahi rangatira, nona nei te ringa i okioki ai te kingi, ki te tangata a te Atua; i mea ia, Nana, ki te hanga e Ihowa he matapihi ki te rangi, ka rite ranei tenei kupu? Ano ra ko ia, Nana, tera ou kanohi e kite, otira e kore k oe e kai i tetahi wahi o taua mea.

3 And there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?

Na tera etahi tangata tokowha, he repera, i te kuwaha o te keti: a ka mea ratou tetahi ki tetahi, He aha tatou i noho ai i konei a kia mate raano tatou?

4 If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine [is] in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall to the army of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.

Ki te mea tatou, Tatou ka tomo ki te pa, na ko te matekai kei roto i te pa, a ka mate tatou ki reira: a, ki te noho tatou i konei, ka mate ano tatou. Na, kia haere tatou aianei, kia auraki atu ki te ope o nga Hiriani: ki te whakaorangia tatou e r atou, ka ora tatou: ki te whakamatea, heoi ano, ka mate.

5 And they rose in the twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians: and when they had come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, [there was] no man there.

Na maranga ana ratou i te mea ka kakarauri, haere ana ki te puni o nga Hiriani: a, no to ratou taenga ki te pito o te puni o nga Hiriani, na kahore o reira tangata.

6 For the LORD had made the army of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, [even] the noise of a great army: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.

Na te Ariki hoki i mea kia rongo te ope o nga Hiriani i te haruru hariata, i te haruru hoiho, i te haruru hoki o tetahi ope nui: a ka mea ratou tetahi ki tetahi, Nana, kua utua nga kingi o nga Hiti me nga kingi o nga Ihipiana e te kingi o Iharair a hei whawhai ki a tatou, kia huaki mai ki a tatou.

7 Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it [was], and fled for their life.

Na whakatika ana ratou, rere ana i te mea ka kakarauri, a whakarerea ake o ratou teneti, a ratou hoiho, a ratou kaihe, me nga aha noa o te puni, a rere ana, he wehi kei mate.

8 And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drank, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid [it]; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence [also], and went and hid [it].

Na, i te taenga o aua repera ki te pito o te puni, ka tomo ki tetahi teneti, kei te kai, kei te inu, a mauria atu ana te hiriwa i reira, me te koura, me te kakahu, a haere ana, huna ana; na ka hoki ano, ka tomo ki tetahi atu teneti, a ka tango an o i reira, a haere ana, huna ana.

9 Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day [is] a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household.

Na ka mea ratou tetahi ki tetahi, Kahore i te pai ta tatou e mea nei: he ra rongo pai tenei ra, a kei te noho wahangu tatou: ki te tatari tatou kia marama te ata, tera tatou e rokohanga e te he: na reira hoake, ka haere tatou, ka korero ki te wha re o te kingi.

10 So they came and called to the porter of the city: and they told him, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and behold, [there was] no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they [were].

Heoi haere ana ratou, karanga ana ki te kaitiaki o te kuwaha o te pa: a ka whakaatu ki a ratou, ka mea, I tae matou ki te puni o nga Hiriani, na kahore he tangata o reira, kahore he reo tangata, engari ko nga hoiho anake e here ana, me nga kaihe e here ana, a ko nga teneti e tu ana ano.

11 And he called the porters; and they told [it] to the king's house within.

Na karangatia ana e ia nga kaitiaki o te kuwaha; a na ratou i korero ki te whare o te kingi i roto atu.

12 And the king arose in the night, and said to his servants, I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we [are] hungry; therefore they have gone out of the camp, to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city.

Na ka whakatika te kingi i te po, a ka mea ki ana tangata, Maku e whakaatu ki a koutou ta nga Hiriani i mea ai ki a tatou. E mohio ana ratou e mate ana tatou i te kai; koia ratou i haere atu ai i te puni ki te parae piri ai, e ki ana, Ki te puta mai ratou i te pa, ka hopukia oratia ratou e tatou, a ka uru tatou ki te pa.

13 And one of his servants answered and said, Let [some] take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, (behold, they [are] as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, [I say], they [are] even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed: ) and let us send and see.

Na ka whakahoki tetahi o ana tangata, ka mea, Tangohia oti e etahi kia rima o nga hoiho e toe nei, i mahue nei ki te pa; nana, penei tonu ratou me te huihui katoa o Iharaira kua mahue nei ki konei; nana, rite tonu ratou ki te huihui katoa o Ihar aira kua moti nei: a tonoa atu ratou e tatou kia kite.

14 They took therefore two chariot horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.

Na tangohia ana e ratou etahi hoiho hariata, e rua, a unga ana e te kingi ki te whai i te ope o nga Hiriani, a i mea ia, Tikina, tirohia.

15 And they went after them to Jordan: and lo, all the way [was] full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.

Na haere ana ratou ki te whai i a ratou a Horano ra ano. Na kapi tonu te huarahi katoa i te kakahu, i nga mea i rukea atu e nga Hiriani i to ratou ponana. Na hoki ana aua tangata ki te korero ki te kingi.

16 And the people went out, and plundered the tents of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was [sold] for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.

Na ka puta te iwi ki waho, kei te pahua i te puni o nga Hiriani. Heoi hokona ana te mehua paraoa mo te hekere, me nga mehua parei e rua mo te hekere, i rite tonu ki ta Ihowa kupu.

17 And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.

A i whakaritea e te kingi ko te rangatira i okioki atu nei ia ki tona ringa hei rangatira mo te kuwaha: na takahia iho ia e te iwi ki te kuwaha, a mate ake, i rite tonu ki ta te tangata a te Atua i korero ai, ki tana i korero ra i te haerenga ih o o te kingi ki raro, ki a ia.

18 And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to-morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria:

I rite tonu ano ki ta te tangata a te Atua i korero ai ki te kingi, i mea ai, E rua nga mehua parei mo te hekere, kotahi ano hoki mehua paraoa mo te hekere i te kuwaha o Hamaria i te wa penei apopo;

19 And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, [if] the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thy eyes, but shalt not eat of it.

Na ka utua e taua rangatira ki te tangata a te Atua, i mea ia, Nana, ki te hanga e Ihowa he matapihi ki te rangi, ka rite ranei tenei kupu? Na ka mea tera, Nana, tera ou kanohi na e kite; otiia e kore tetahi wahi o taua mea e kainga e koe;

20 And so it happened to him: for the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died.

I pera tonu te meatanga ki a ia; i takahia hoki ia e te iwi ki te kuwaha, a mate iho ia.
