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.
And it came to pass, when Yahweh was about to take up Elijah in a storm into the heavens, that Elijah departed, 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.
Then said Elijah unto Elisha—Tarry here, I pray thee, for, Yahweh, hath sent me as far as Bethel. And Elisha said, By the life of Yahweh and by the life of thine own soul, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.
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 the sons of the prophets who were in Bethel came forth unto Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that, to-day, Yahweh is taking away thy lord, from thy head? And he said—I also, know, be silent.
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—Elisha, I pray thee, tarry here, for, Yahweh, hath sent me to Jericho. And he said—By the life of Yahweh and by the life of thine own soul, I will not leave thee. So they came 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.
Then drew near the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho, unto Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that, to-day, Yahweh is taking away thy lord from thy head? And he said—I also, know; be silent.
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.
And Elijah said to him—Tarry here, I pray thee, for, Yahweh, hath sent me to the Jordan. And he said—By the life of Yahweh and by the life of thine own soul, I will not leave thee. So they two, went on.
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.
But, fifty men of the sons of the prophets, came, and stood over against them, afar off, —and, they two, stood by the 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 his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided, hither and thither, —so that they two, passed over, on dry ground.
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 it came to pass, as they went over, that, Elijah, said unto Elisha—Ask, what I shall do for thee, ere yet I be taken from thee. And Elisha said, Let there be, I pray thee, a double portion of thy spirit upon 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—Thou hast asked a hard thing, —if thou see me when taken from thee, thou shall have it, so, but, if not, thou shalt not have it.
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 it came to pass, as they were going on and on and talking, that lo! there was a chariot of fire, with horses of fire, which parted, those two, asunder, —and Elijah went up in a storm, into the heavens.
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, as soon as Elisha saw it, he, began crying out—My father! my father! The chariots of Israel, and the horsemen thereof! But, when he could see him no longer, he took hold of his clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
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 took he up the mantle of Elijah, which had fallen from him, —and returned and stood, on the brink of the 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 took the mantle of Elijah which had fallen from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is Yahweh, the God of Elijah? And, when, he also, smote the waters, they were divided, hither and thither, and Elisha, passed 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 in Jericho, over against him, saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah, resteth, on Elisha. So they came to meet him, and bowed themselves down to him, to the ground.
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.
Then said they unto him—Lo! we pray thee, there are with thy servants fifty men, sons of valour—let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy lord, lest the Spirit of Yahweh have borne him away, and cast him on one of the mountains, or into one of the valleys. And he said—Ye shall not send.
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 urged him until he was ashamed, he said—Send. So they sent fifty men, and made search three days, but found him not.
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, when they came back unto him, he, having tarried at Jericho, he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Do not go?
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.
And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Lo! we pray thee, the situation of the city, is good, as, my lord, seeth, —but, the waters, are bad, and, the land, apt to miscarry.
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
And he said—Bring me a new bowl, and put therein, salt. So they brought it unto 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.
and he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast therein, saith, —and said—Thus, saith Yahweh, I have healed these waters; there shall come from thence, no longer, death or aptness to miscarry.
22 Na ora tonu ake taua wai a mohoa noa nei, pera tonu me ta Eriha kupu i korero ai.
So the waters were healed, [as they remain] unto this day, —according to the word of Elisha which he spake.
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.
And he went up from thence, to Bethel, —and, as he was going up on the way, some lads, came forth, out of the city, and made mockery of him, and said to him, Go up, bald head! Go up, bald head!
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, when he turned round and saw them, he cursed them, in the name of Yahweh, —and there came forth two she-bears out of the wood, and tare, of them, forty-two youths.
25 Na haere atu ana ia i reira ki Maunga Karamere, a hoki ana i reira ki Hamaria.
And he went from thence, unto Mount Carmel, —and, from thence, he returned, to Samaria.
