1 Kingi 19
1 Na ka korerotia e Ahapa ki a Ietepere nga mea katoa i mea ai a Iraia, me nga meatanga katoa i tana whakamatenga i nga poropiti katoa ki te hoari.
And Achab told Jezabel all that Elias had done, and how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
2 Katahi a Ietepere ka tono tangata ki a Iraia hei ki atu, Kia meatia tenei ki ahau e nga atua, me etahi atu mea, ki te kahore ahau e mea i a koe i tenei takiwa apopo kia rite te mate ki tetahi o ratou i mate ra.
And Jezabel sent a messenger to Elias, saying: Such and such things may the gods do to me, and add still more, if by this hour tomorrow I make not thy life as the life of one of them.
3 A ka kite ia, na whakatika ana, haere ana, he mea kei mate, a ka tae ki Peerehepa o Hura. Na ka whakarerea e ia tana tangata ki reira.
Then Elias was afraid, and rising up he went whithersoever he had a mind: and he came to Bersabee of Juda, and left his servant there,
4 Ko ia ia i haere ki te koraha, kotahi te ra ki te ara, a ka tae, ka noho i raro i tetahi hunipa: a ka inoi ia mona kia mate ia; a ka mea, Heoi ra, inaianei, e Ihowa, tangohia atu toku wairua; kahore hoki ahau i pai ake i oku matua.
And he went forward, one day’s journey into the desert. And when he was there, and sat under a juniper tree, he requested for his soul that he might die, and said: It is enough for me, Lord, take away my soul: for I am no better than my fathers.
5 Na ka takoto ia, ka moe i raro i tetahi hunipa; na, ko tetahi anahera e papaki ana i a ia, e mea ana ki a ia, Maranga ki te kai.
And he cast himself down, and slept in the shadow of the juniper tree: and behold an angel of the Lord touched him, and said to him: Arise and eat.
6 Na titiro rawa ake ia, ko tetahi keke, he mea tunu ki te pungarehu, me tetahi ipu wai i tona urunga. Na kai ana ia, inu ana, a takoto iho ana ano.
He looked, and behold there was at his head a hearth cake, and a vessel of water: and he ate and drank, and he fell asleep again.
7 Na ka hoki mai ano te anahera a Ihowa, a ka papaki i a ia, ka mea, Maranga ki te kai; he roa rawa hoki te ara mou, e kore e taea e koe.
And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said to him: Arise, eat: for thou hast yet a great way to go.
8 Na maranga ana ia, a kai ana, inu ana, a haere ana, me te mau ano te mana o taua kai, e wha tekau nga ra, e wha tekau nga po a tae noa ki Horepa, ki te maunga o te Atua.
And he arose, and ate, and drank, and walked in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights, unto the mount of God, Horeb.
9 Na haere ana ia ki reira ki tetahi ana, a moe ana i reira. Na ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a ia; i mea ia, E aha ana koe i konei, e Iraia?
And when he was come thither, he abode in a cave: and behold the word of the Lord came unto him, and he said to him: What dost thou here, Elias?
10 A ka mea tera, Nui atu toku hae mo Ihowa, mo te Atua o nga mano; kua whakarerea hoki tau kawenata e nga tama a Iharaira, a ko au aata, wahia iho e ratou, patua iho hoki e ratou au poropiti ki te hoari; a ko ahau, ko ahau rawa anake i mahue; a ke i te rapu ratou i ahau kia whakamatea.
And he answered: With zeal have I been zealous for the Lord God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant: they have thrown down thy altars, they have slain thy prophets with the sword, and I alone am left, and they seek my life to take it away.
11 Na ka mea ia, Puta mai, ka tu ki te maunga ki te aroaro o Ihowa. Na ko te haerenga atu o Ihowa, he nui ano te hau, he kaha, e whakakoara ana i nga maunga, e wahi ana i nga kohatu i te aroaro o Ihowa; otiia kahore a Ihowa i roto i te hau: a muri iho i te hau ko te ru; otiia kahore a Ihowa i roto i te ru:
And he said to him: Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord: and behold the Lord passeth, and a great and strong wind before the Lord over throwing the mountains, and breaking the rocks in pieces: the Lord is not in the wind, and after the wind an earthquake: the Lord is not in the earthquake.
12 A i muri o te ru ko te ahi; otiia kahore a Ihowa i roto i te ahi: a i muri i te ahi ko te reo ngawari, he mea iti.
And after the earthquake a fire: the Lord is not in the fire, and after the fire a whistling of a gentle air.
13 A, no te rongonga o Iraia ka hipokina e ia tona mata ki tona koroka, a haere ana, tu ana i te kuwaha o te ana. Na ko te putanga mai o tetahi reo ki a ia, ka mea, E aha ana koe i konei, e Iraia?
And when Elias heard it, he covered his face with his mantle, and coming forth stood in the entering in of the cave, and behold a voice unto him, saying: What dost thou here, Elias? And he answered:
14 Ano ra ko tera, Nui atu toku hae mo Ihowa, mo te Atua o nga mano; kua whakarerea hoki tau kawenata e nga tama a Iharaira, ko au aata, wahia iho e ratou, patua iho e ratou au poropiti ki te hoari; a ko ahau, ko ahau rawa anake i mahue; a kei te r apu ratou i ahau kia whakamatea.
With zeal have I been zealous for the Lord God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant: they have destroyed thy altars, they have slain thy prophets with the sword, and I alone am left, and they seek my life to take it away.
15 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, Haere, e hoki i tou ara ki te koraha o Ramahiku; a ka tae koe, whakawahia a Hataere hei kingi mo Hiria.
And the Lord said to him: Go, and return on thy way through the desert to Damascus: and when thou art come thither, thou shalt anoint Hazael to be king over Syria.
16 A whakawahia a Iehu tama a Nimihi hei kingi mo Iharaira; me whakawahi ano a Eriha tama a Hapata o Aperemehora hei poropiti i muri i a koe.
And thou shalt anoint Jehu the son of Namsi to be king over Israel: and Eliseus the son of Saphat, of Abelmeula, thou shalt anoint to be prophet in thy room.
17 Na, ko te hunga e mawhiti i te hoari a Hataere ma Iehu e whakamate; ko te hunga e mawhiti i te hoari a Iehu ma Eriha e whakamate.
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall escape the sword of Hazael, shall be slain by Jehu: and whosoever shall escape the sword of Jehu, shall be slain by Eliseus.
18 Otiia ka whakatoea e ahau maku e whitu nga mano i roto i a Iharaira, ko nga turi katoa kihai ano i tuturi ki a Paara, me nga mangai katoa kihai i kihi i a ia.
And I will leave me seven thousand men in Israel, whose knees have not been bowed before Baal, and every mouth that hath not worshipped him kissing the hands.
19 Heoi haere atu ana ia i reira, a ka tupono ki a Eriha tama a Hapata, e parau ana ia, me nga kau i nga ioka kotahi tekau ma rua i tona aroaro, ko ia i te tekau ma rua: na haere ana a Iraia i tona taha, a maka ana e ia tona koroka ki runga ki a ia.
And Elias departing from thence, found Eliseus the son of Saphat, ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen: and he was one of them that were ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen: and when Elias came up to him, he cast his mantle upon him.
20 Na whakarerea ake e tera nga kau, a rere ana ki te whai i a Iraia, a ka mea, Tukua ahau kia kihi i toku papa, i toku whaea, ka haere ai ki te whai i a koe. Ano ra ko tera ki a ia, Haere, e hoki: i aha hoki ahau ki a koe?
And he forthwith left the oxen and ran after Elias, and said: Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said to him: Go, and return back: for that which was my part, I have done to thee.
21 Na hoki ana tera i te whai i a ia, a ka mau ki nga kau o tetahi ioka, patua iho, kohuatia iho o raua kikokiko ki nga mea o nga kau, hoatu ana e ia te kikokiko ki nga tangata, a kainga ana e ratou. Na whakatika ana ia, haere ana ki te whai i a Ir aia, a mahi ana ki a ia.
And returning back from him, he took a yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled the flesh with the plough of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate: and rising up he went away, and followed Elias, and ministered to him.
