2 Kingi 2
1 Na, i te meatanga a Ihowa kia tangohia atu a Iraia ki te rangi i roto i te tukauati, ka haere atu a Iraira raua ko Eriha i Kirikara.
Now when the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a great wind, Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2 Na ka mea atu a Iraia ki a Eriha, Hei konei koe noho ai, kua unga hoki ahau e Ihowa ki Peteere. Ano ra ko Eriha, E ora ana a Ihowa, e ora ana hoki tou wairua, e kore ahau e whakarere i a koe. Heoi haere tahi ana raua ki raro, ki Peteere.
And Elijah said to Elisha, Come no farther for the Lord has sent me to Beth-el. But Elisha said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went down to Beth-el.
3 Na ka puta mai nga tama a nga poropiti i Peteere ki a Eriha, a ka mea ki a ia, E mohio ana ranei koe ko aianei tangohia ai e Ihowa tou ariki i runga i tou upoko? Ano ra ko ia, E mohio ana ano ahau; whakarongoa.
And at Beth-el the sons of the prophets came out to Elisha and said, Has it been made clear to you that the Lord is going to take away your master from over you today? And he said, Yes, I have knowledge of it: say no more.
4 Na ka mea a Iraia ki a ia, E Eriha, heoi konei koe noho ai; kua unga hoki ahau e Ihowa ki Heriko. Ano ra ko tera, E ora ana a Ihowa, e ora ana hoki tou wairua, e kore ahau e whakarere i a koe. Heoi haere ana raua ki Heriko.
Then Elijah said to him, Come no farther, for the Lord has sent me to Jericho. But he said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went on to Jericho.
5 Na ka whakatata mai nga tama a nga poropiti i Heriko ki a Eriha, a ka mea ki a ia, E mohio ana ranei koe ko aianei tangohia ai e Ihowa tou ariki i runga i tou upoko? Ano ra ko ia, E mohio ana ano ahau; whakarongoa.
And at Jericho the sons of the prophets came up to Elisha and said to him, Has it been made clear to you that the Lord is going to take away your master from over you today? And he said in answer, Yes, I have knowledge of it: say no more.
6 Na ka mea a Iraia ki a ia, Hei konei koe noho ai; kua unga hoki ahau e Ihowa ki Horano. Ano ra ko tera, E ora ana a Ihowa, e ora ana ano hoki tou wairua, e kore ahau e whakarere i a koe. Na haere ana raua tokorua.
Then Elijah said to him, Come no farther, for the Lord has sent me to Jordan. But he said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went on together.
7 Na ka haere etahi tangata e rima tekau, he tama na nga poropiti, a tu atu ana i tawhiti; me te tu ano raua tokorua i te taha o Horano.
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went out and took their places facing them a long way off, while the two of them were by the edge of Jordan.
8 Na ka mau a Iraia ki tona koroka, whakakopaia ana e ia, patua ana ki nga wai, a ka wehea ki tetahi taha, ki tetahi taha, a whiti ana raua i te wahi maroke.
Then Elijah took off his robe, and, rolling it up, gave the water a blow with it, and the waters were parted, flowing back this way and that, so that they went over on dry land.
9 A, no to raua whitinga, ka mea a Iraira ki a Eriha, Tonoa mai, ko te aha e meatia e ahau mau i ahau kiano kia wehea noatia i a koe. Ano ra ko Eriha, Kia rereruatia mai ki ahau te wahi wairua i a koe na.
And when they had come to the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, Say what you would have me do for you before I am taken from you. And Elisha said, Be pleased to let a special measure of your spirit be on me.
10 Na ka mea tera, He mea pakeke tau i tono mai na: he ahakoa ra, ki te kite koe i ahau e tangohia atu ana i a koe, ka rite ki tau na; ki te kahore, ka kore e pena.
And he said, You have made a hard request: still, if you see me when I am taken from you, you will get your desire; but if not, it will not be so.
11 Na, i a raua e haere ana, me te korero haere, ka puta mai tetahi hariata ahi me nga hoiho ahi, a wehea ana raua tokorua; a kake ana a Iraia i roto i te tukauati ki te rangi.
And while they went on their way, going on talking together, suddenly there were carriages and horses of fire separating them from one another and Elijah went up to heaven in a great wind.
12 A ka kite a Eriha, ka karanga ia, E toku papa, e toku papa, e nga hariata o Iharaira, e ona kaieke hoiho! A kihai ia i kite i a ia i muri. Na ka mau ia ki ona kakahu ake, a haea iho kia rua nga wahi.
And when Elisha saw it he gave a cry, My father, my father, the carriages of Israel and its horsemen! And he saw him no longer; and he was full of grief.
13 I tangohia ake hoki e ia te koroka o Iraia i marere i runga i a ia, e hoki ana, tu ana i te pareparenga o Horano.
Then he took up Elijah's robe, which had been dropped from him, and went back till he came to the edge of Jordan.
14 Na ka mau ia ki te koroka o Iraia i marere nei i runga i a ia, a patua iho ki nga wai, me te ki ano, Kei hea ra a Ihowa, te Atua o Iraia? Na, ka patua e ia nga wai, wehe ana ki tetahi taha, ki tetahi taha: a whiti ana a Eriha.
And he took Elijah's robe, which had been dropped from him, and giving the water a blow with it, said, Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah? and at his blow the waters were parted this way and that; and Elisha went over.
15 A, no te kitenga o nga tama a nga poropiti, o era o Heriko i te ritenga mai ki a ia, ka mea ratou, Kua tau te wairua o Iraia ki runga ki a Eriha. Na haere ana mai ratou ki te whakatau i a ia, piko ana ki tona aroaro ki te whenua.
And when the sons of the prophets who were facing him at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah is resting on Elisha. And they came out to him, and went down on the earth before him.
16 Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Nana, tenei etahi tangata e rima tekau kei au pononga, he marohirohi; tukua ratou kia haere ki te rapu i tou ariki; kei tupono kua kahakina atu ia e te wairua o Ihowa, kua maka ki runga ki tetahi maunga, ki roto ranei ki tetahi awaawa. Na ka mea ia, Kaua e unga.
And they said, Your servants have with us here fifty strong men; be pleased to let them go in search of Elijah; for it may be that the spirit of the Lord has taken him up and put him down on some mountain or in some valley. But he said, Do not send them.
17 A, i ta ratou tohenga a whakama noa ia, ka ki atu ia, Unga. Na unga ana e ratou e rima tekau nga tangata: a e toru nga ra i rapu ai ratou, heoi kihai i kitea.
But when they kept on requesting him, he was shamed and said, Send, then. So they sent fifty men; but after searching for three days, they came back without having seen him.
18 Na hoki ana ratou ki a ia, i Heriko hoki ia e noho ana; a ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kihai ianei ahau i ki atu ki a koutou, Kaua e haere?
And they came back to him, while he was still at Jericho; and he said to them, Did I not say to you, Go not?
19 Na ka mea nga tangata o te pa ki a Eriha, Nana, he pai te turanga o tenei pa, e kite nei hoki toku ariki; engari ko te wai he kino, a ko te whenua he whakatahe.
Now the men of the town said to Elisha, You see that the position of this town is good; but the water is bad, causing the young of the cattle to come to birth dead.
20 Na ka mea ia, Maua mai he oko hou ki ahau, ka mea he tote ki roto. Na ka kawea mai e ratou ki a ia
So he said, Get me a new vessel, and put salt in it; and they took it to him.
21 Na haere ana ia ki te matapuna o te wai, a maka ana te tote ki roto, me te ki ano, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kua ora tenei wai i ahau; heoi ano o konei mate, o konei whakatahe.
Then he went out to the spring from which the water came, and put salt in it, and said, The Lord says, Now I have made this water sweet; no longer will it be death-giving or unfertile.
22 Na ora tonu ake taua wai a mohoa noa nei, pera tonu me ta Eriha kupu i korero ai.
And the water was made sweet again to this day, as Elisha said.
23 Na ka haere atu ia i reira ki Peteere; a, i a ia e haere ana i te ara, ka puta mai etahi tamariki ririki i te pa, ka taunu ki a ia, ka mea, Pakira, haere ki runga; pakira, haere ki runga.
Then from there he went up to Beth-el; and on his way, some little boys came out from the town and made sport of him, crying, Go up, old no-hair! go up, old no-hair!
24 Na ka tahuri ake ia, ka titiro ki a ratou, a kanga iho ratou i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa. Na ko te putanga mai o nga pea uha e rua i te ngahere, a haehaea ana etahi o ratou, e wha tekau ma rua nga tamariki.
And turning back, he saw them, and put a curse on them in the name of the Lord. And two she-bears came out of the wood and put forty-two of the children to death.
25 Na haere atu ana ia i reira ki Maunga Karamere, a hoki ana i reira ki Hamaria.
From there he went to Mount Carmel, and came back from there to Samaria.
