2 Kingi 13
1 No te rua tekau ma toru o nga tau o Ioaha tama a Ahatia kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Iehoahata tama a Iehu ki a Iharaira ki Hamaria, a tekau ma whitu nga tau i kingi ai.
In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria for seventeen years.
2 A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, i whai hoki ia i nga hara o Ieropoama tama a Nepata i hara ai a Iharaira. Kihai ena i mahue i a ia.
He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; he did not depart from it.
3 Na ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a Iharaira, a hoatu ana ratou e ia ki te ringa o Hataere kingi o Hiria, ki te ringa ano hoki o Penehaara tama a Hataere i o raua ra katoa.
The anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Aram, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, continually.
4 Na ka inoi a Iehoahata ki a Ihowa, a ka whakarongo a Ihowa ki a ia: i kite hoki ia i te tukinotanga o Iharaira, i tukinotia ai ratou e te kingi o Hiria.
Jehoahaz begged the LORD, and the LORD listened to him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how that the king of Aram oppressed them.
5 Na homai ana e Ihowa he kaiwhakaora ki a Iharaira, a ka puta ake ratou i raro i te ringa o nga Hiriani: a noho ana nga tama a Iharaira ki o ratou teneti, he pera me mua.
(The LORD gave Israel a savior, so that they went out from under the hand of the Arameans; and the children of Israel lived in their tents as before.
6 Otiia kihai i mahue i a ratou nga hara o te whare o Ieropoama i hara ai a Iharaira, heoi haere ana i reira; tu tonu ano te Ahera i Hamaria.
Nevertheless they did not depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin; they walked in them. And the Asherah also remained in Samaria.)
7 Kahore hoki i waiho e ia o te iwi ki a Iehoahata, ko nga kaieke hoiho anake e rima tekau, tekau nga hariata, kotahi tekau mano nga hoia haere raro; i huna hoki ratou e te kingi o Hiria, a meinga ana kia rite ki te puehu i te patunga witi.
For he did not leave to Jehoahaz of the people any more than fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Aram destroyed them, and made them like the dust in threshing.
8 Na ko era atu meatanga a Iehoahata me ana mahi katoa, me ana mahi toa, kihai ianei ena i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
9 Na ka moe a Iehoahata ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki Hamaria: a ko Ioaha, ko tana tama te kingi i muri i a ia.
Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his place.
10 No te toru tekau ma whitu o nga tau o Ioaha kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Iehoaha tama a Iehoahata ki a Iharaira ki Hamaria, tekau ma ono nga tau.
In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria for sixteen years.
11 A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa; kihai i mahue i a ia tetahi o nga hara o Ieropoama tama a Nepata i hara ai a Iharaira: engari i haere ia i reira.
He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; but he walked in it.
12 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Ioaha me ana mahi katoa, me ana mahi toa i tana whawhai ki a Amatia kingi o Hura, kihai ianei era i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira?
Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
13 Na ka moe a Ioaha ki ona matua, a noho ana a Ieropoama ki tona torona; i tanumia hoki a Ioaha ki Hamaria, ki nga kingi o Iharaira.
Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat on his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
14 Na i te mate a Eriha i tona mate e mate rawa ai: a haere iho ana a Ioaha kingi o Iharaira ki raro, ki a ia, a tangi ana i runga i a ia, ka mea, E toku papa, e toku papa, e nga hariata o Iharaira, e ona kaieke hoiho!
Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness of which he died: and Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over him, and said, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen."
15 Na ka mea a Eriha ki a ia, E mau ki te kopere, ki nga pere: a ka mau ia ki te kopere, ki nga pere.
Elisha said to him, "Take bow and arrows"; and he took to him bow and arrows.
16 Na ka mea ia ki te kingi o Iharaira, Pupuri tou ringa i te kopere: na kua puritia e tona ringa. Na ka whakapa a Eriha i ona ringa ki nga ringa o te kingi.
He said to the king of Israel, "Put your hand on the bow"; and he put his hand on it. Elisha laid his hands on the king's hands.
17 Na ka ki tera, Uakina te matapihi whaka te rawhiti: na uakina ana e ia. Katahi a Eriha ka mea, Koperea: na koperea ana e ia. A ka mea tera, Ko te pere o ta Ihowa whakaoranga, ko te pere e ora ai i a Hiria: ka patua hoki e koe nga Hiriani ki Apek e, a poto noa.
He said, "Open the window eastward"; and he opened it. Then Elisha said, "Shoot." and he shot. He said, "The LORD's arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Aram; for you shall strike the Arameans in Aphek, until you have consumed them."
18 A ka mea ano ia, E mau ki nga pere: a kua riro i a ia. Na ka mea tera ki te kingi o Iharaira, Patua ki te whenua: a e toru ana patunga, ka tu.
He said, "Take the arrows"; and he took them. He said to the king of Israel, "Strike the ground"; and he struck three times, and stopped.
19 Na ka riri te tangata a te Atua ki a ia, ka mea, Kia rima ke he patunga mau, kia ono ranei; penei kua patua e koe a Hiria a poto noa; ko tenei kia toru ano patunga mau i a Hiria.
The man of God was angry with him, and said, "You should have struck five or six times. Then you would have struck Aram until you had consumed it, whereas now you shall strike Aram just three times."
20 Na ka mate a Eriha, a tanumia ana e ratou. A ka haere mai nga taua a nga Moapi ki te whenua i te aranga o te tau.
Elisha died, and they buried him. Now the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
21 Na, i a ratou e tanu ana i tetahi tangata, ka kite ratou i te taua; heoi maka ana e ratou taua tangata ki te rua o Eriha: te panga o te tangata ra ki nga wheua o Eriha, kua ora, tu ana ona waewae ki runga.
It happened, as they were burying a man, that look, they spied a band; and they cast the man into the tomb of Elisha: and as soon as the man touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.
22 A i tukinotia a Iharaira e Hataere kingi o Hiria i nga ra katoa o Iehoahata.
Hazael king of Aram oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
23 Otira i atawhai a Ihowa ki a ratou, i aroha ki a ratou, i tahuri hoki ki a ratou, he whakaaro ki tana kawenata ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hakopa, kihai hoki i mea kia huna ratou, kiano hoki ratou i maka e ia i tona aroaro.
But the LORD was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and had respect to them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.
24 Na ka mate a Hataere kingi o Hiria; a ko Peneharara, ko tana tama te kingi i muri i a ia.
Hazael king of Aram died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his place.
25 Na tangohia ana e Iehoaha tama a Iehoahata i te ringa o Peneharara tama a Hataere nga pa i tangohia atu i te ringa o Iehoahata, o tona papa i te whawhai. E toru nga patunga a Ioaha i a ia, a whakahokia ana e ia nga pa o Iharaira.
Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Joash struck him three times, and recovered the cities of Israel.
