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.
Now Ahab tolde Iezebel all that Eliiah had done, and how he had slaine 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.
Then Iezebel sent a messenger vnto Eliiah, saying, The gods doe so to me and more also, if I make not thy life like one of their liues by to morowe this time.
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.
When he sawe that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which is in Iudah, and left his seruant 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.
But he went a dayes iourney into the wildernesse, and came and sate downe vnder a iuniper tree, and desired that he might die, and sayde, It is now ynough: O Lord, take my soule, for I am no better then 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 as he lay and slept vnder the iuniper tree, behold now, an Angel touched him, and said vnto him, Vp, and eate.
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.
And when he looked about, behold, there was a cake baken on the coles, and a pot of water at his head: so he did eate and drinke, and returned and slept.
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 againe the second time, and touched him, and sayd, Vp, and eate: for thou hast a great iourney.
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.
Then he arose, and did eate and drinke, and walked in the strength of that meate fourtie dayes and fourtie nights, vnto Horeb the mount of God.
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 there he entred into a caue, and lodged there: and beholde, the Lord spake to him, and said vnto him, What doest thou here, Eliiah?
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, I haue bene very ielous for the Lord God of hostes: for the children of Israel haue forsaken thy couenant, broken downe thine altars, and slayne thy Prophets with the sword, and I onely am left, and they seeke 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 saide, Come out, and stand vpon the mount before the Lord. And beholde, the Lord went by, and a mightie strong winde rent the mountaines, and brake the rockes before the Lord: but the Lord was not in the winde: and after the wind came an earthquake: but the Lord was 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 came fire: but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire came a still and soft voyce.
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 Eliiah heard it, he couered his face with his mantel, and went out, and stoode in the entring in of ye caue: and behold, there came a voyce vnto him, and sayd, What doest thou here, Eliiah?
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.
And he answered, I haue bene very ielous for the Lord God of hostes, because the children of Israel haue forsaken thy couenant, cast downe thine altars, and slayne thy Prophets with the sworde, and I onely am left, and they seeke 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 vnto him, Goe, returne by the wildernes vnto Damascus, and when thou commest there, anoint Hazael King ouer Aram.
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 Iehu the sonne of Nimshi shalt thou anoynt King ouer Israel: and Elisha the sonne of Shaphat of Abel Meholah shalt thou anoynt to be Prophet in thy roume.
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 him that escapeth from the sworde of Hazael, shall Iehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Iehu, shall Elisha slay.
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.
Yet wil I leaue seuen thousand in Israel, euen all the knees that haue not bowed vnto Baal, and euery mouth that hath not kissed him.
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.
So he departed thence, and found Elisha the sonne of Shaphat who was plowing with twelue yoke of oxen before him, and was with the twelft: and Eliiah went towards him, and cast his mantel vpon 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 left the oxen, and ran after Eliiah, and sayde, Let mee, I pray thee, kisse my father and my mother, and then I wil follow thee. Who answered him, Go, returne: for what haue I 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 when he went backe againe from him, he tooke a couple of oxen, and slewe them, and sod their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gaue vnto the people, and they did eate: then he arose and went after Eliiah, and ministred vnto him.
