2 Kingi 4
1 Na i tangi tetahi o nga wahine a nga tama a nga poropiti ki a Eriha, i mea, Kua mate tau pononga, taku tahu; a e mohio ana koe i wehi tau pononga i a Ihowa: na kua tae mai te kaiwhakatarewa moni ki te tango i aku tama tokorua hei pononga mana.
Now a certain woman, from the wives of the prophets, cried out to Elisha, saying: “My husband, your servant, is dead. And you know that your servant was one who fears the Lord. And behold, a creditor has arrived, so that he may take away my two sons to serve him.”
2 Na ka mea a Eriha ki a ia, Ko te aha kia meatia e ahau mau? whakaaturia mai; he aha tau i roto i te whare? Ano ra ko tera, Kahore he mea a tau pononga i roto i te whare, heoti rawa he pata hinu.
And Elisha said to her: “What do you want me to do for you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” And she responded, “I, your handmaid, do not have anything in my house, except a little oil, with which I may be anointed.”
3 Katahi ia ka mea, Haere, tonoa etahi oko mau i waho, i ou hoa tata katoa, hei nga oko tahanga; kei torutoru.
And he said to her: “Go, ask to borrow from all your neighbors empty vessels, more than a few.
4 A ka haere koe ki roto, ka tutaki i te tatau ki a koutou ko au tama, a ka riringi ki aua oko katoa; a me waiho ake i rahaki te mea kua ki.
And enter and close your door. And when you are inside with your sons, pour from the oil into all those vessels. And when they are full, take them away.”
5 Na haere ana ia, a tutakina ana te tatau ki a ratou ko ana tama; a kawea ana mai nga oko ki a ia, a ko ia hei riringi ki roto.
And so, the woman went and closed the door upon herself and her sons. They were bringing her the vessels, and she was pouring into them.
6 A, ka ki nga oko, ka mea atu ia ki tana tama, Mauria mai ano he oko ki ahau. A ka mea tera ki a ia, Kahore atu he oko. Na mutu ake te hinu.
And when the vessels had been filled, she said to her son, “Bring me another a vessel.” And he responded, “I have none.” And there was oil remaining.
7 Katahi ia ka haere, ka korero ki te tangata a te Atua. Ano ra ko tera, Haere, hokona taua hinu, ka utu i tau moni tarewa, a ko te toenga hei oranga mo koutou ko au tama.
Then she went and told the man of God. And he said: “Go, sell the oil, and repay your creditor. Then you and your sons may live on what remains.”
8 Na i tetahi ra ka haere a Eriha ki Huneme, i reira hoki tetahi wahine nui; a tohea ana e tera kia kai taro ia. Na reira, i ona haerenga katoa atu ma reira, peka ai ia ki reira ki te kai taro.
Now it happened that, on a certain day, Elisha passed by Shunem. And there was a great woman there, who took him to eat bread. And since he frequently passed by there, he turned aside to her house, so that he might eat bread.
9 Na ka mea tera ki tana tahu, Nana, e mohio ana ahau he tangata tapu na te Atua tenei e kopikopiko nei ma to taua wahi.
And she said to her husband: “I have noticed that he is a holy man of God, who passes by us frequently.
10 Me hanga e tatou tetahi ruma nohinohi ki runga i te taiepa; a me whakapai he moenga mona ki reira, he tepu, he nohoanga, he turanga rama; mo tona haere mai ki a tatou, na ka peka ki reira.
Therefore, let us prepare a small upper room for him, and place a bed in it for him, and a table, and a chair, and a lampstand, so that when he comes to us, he may stay there.”
11 Na i tetahi ra ka tae mai ia ki reira, a peka ana ki taua ruma, takoto ana ki reira.
Then it happened that, on a certain day, arriving, he turned aside into the upper room, and he rested there.
12 Na ka mea ia ki tana tangata, ki a Kehati, Karangatia te Hunami nei. Na karangatia ana e ia, a tu ana tera ki tona aroaro.
And he said to his servant Gehazi, “Call this Shunammite woman.” And when he had called her, and she stood before him,
13 Na ka mea ia ki te tangata, Mea atu ki a ia, Nana, Nau katoa enei whakaaro i whakaaro mai ki a maua; ko te aha kia meatia mau? e mea ana ranei koe kia korerotia koe ki te kingi, ki te rangatira ope ranei? Ano ra ko tera, Kei waenganui nei ahau i toku iwi e noho ana.
he said to his servant: “Say to her: Behold, you have ministered to us attentively in all things. What do you want, that I might do for you? Do you have any business, or do you want me to speak to the king, or to the leader of the military?” And she responded, “I live in the midst of my own people.”
14 Na ka mea ia, Ko te aha ra kia meatia mana? Ano ra ko Kehati, Hore rawa ana tama, he koroheke ano hoki tana tahu.
And he said, “Then what does she want, that I might do for her?” And Gehazi said: “You need not ask. For she has no son, and her husband is elderly.”
15 Na ka mea ake ia, Karangatia ia. Na karangatia ana ia e ia, a tu ana tera i te kuwaha.
And so, he instructed him to call her. And when she had been called, and was standing before the door,
16 Na ka mea ia, Kei tenei wa, kia taka mai ano te wa, ka awhi koe i te tama. Ano ra ko tera, Kaua, e toku ariki, e te tangata a te Atua, kaua e teka ki tau pononga wahine.
he said to her, “At this time, and at this same hour, with life as a companion, you will have a son in your womb.” But she responded, “Do not, I ask you, my lord, a man of God, do not be willing to lie to your handmaid.”
17 A ka hapu te wahine ra, a ka whanau he tama i taua wa, i te takanga mai ano, i ta Eriha i korero ai ki a ia.
And the woman conceived. And she bore a son, in the time and at the same hour as Elisha had said.
18 A, ka kaumatua te tamaiti, i tetahi ra ka haere ia ki tona papa ki nga kaikotikoti.
And the boy grew. And on a certain day, when he had gone out to his father, to the harvesters,
19 Na ka mea ia ki tona papa, Toku matenga! toku matenga! Na ka mea tera ki tetahi taitama, Kawea ki tona whaea.
he said to his father: “I have a pain in my head. I have a pain in my head.” But he said to his servant, “Take him, and lead him to his mother.”
20 A, no tana mauranga i a ia, a ka tae ki tona whaea, ka noho ia i runga i ona turi, a poutumaro noa te ra; katahi ka mate.
But when he had taken him, and he had led him to his mother, she placed him upon her knees, until midday, and then he died.
21 Na haere ana ia ki runga, whakatakotoria ana ia ki te moenga o te tangata a te Atua, a tutakina ana tera e ia ki roto, puta ana ki waho.
Then she went up and laid him out on the bed of the man of God, and she closed the door. And departing,
22 Na ka karanga ia ki tana tahu, ka mea, Tena, unga mai tetahi o nga taitama na ki ahau, me tetahi o nga kaihe, kia rere ai ahau ki te tangata a te Atua, ka hoki mai ai.
she called her husband, and she said: “Send with me, I beg you, one of your servants, and a donkey, so that I may hurry to the man of God, and then return.”
23 Ano ra ko tera, He aha koe i haere ai ki a ia inaianei? ehara nei hoki i te kowhititanga marama, i te hapati ranei. Ka mea ia, He pai.
And he said to her: “What is the reason that you would go to him? Today is not the new moon, and it is not the Sabbath.” She responded, “I will go.”
24 Katahi ka whakanohoia e ia te kaihe, a ka mea ki tana tangata, Arahina atu, haere tonu; kaua e whakangawaritia tau rere moku, kia mea atu ra ano ahau ki a koe.
And she saddled a donkey, and she instructed her servant: “Drive, and hurry on. You shall cause no delay for me in departing. And do whatever I instruct you to do.”
25 Na haere ana ia, a ka tae ki te tangata a te Atua, ki Maunga Karamere. A, no te kitenga atu o te tangata a te Atua i a ia i tawhiti, ka mea ia ki tana tangata ki a Kehati, Nana, ko te Hunami ra:
And so she set out. And she came to the man of God, on mount Carmel. And when the man of God had seen her at a distance, he said to his servant Gehazi: “Behold, it is that Shunammite woman.
26 Na, rere atu ki te whakatau i a ia, ka mea ki a ia, Kei te pai ranei koe? kei te pai tau tahu? kei te pai ranei te tamaiti? Ano ra ko ia, Kei te pai.
So then, go to meet her, and say to her, ‘Does all go well concerning you, and your husband, and your son?’” And she answered, “It is well.”
27 A, no tona taenga ki te tangata a te Atua, ki te puke, hopukia ana e ia ona waewae. Na ka haere a Kehati ki te pana i a ia. Otiia ka mea te tangata a te Atua, Waiho ra, e mamae ana hoki tona ngakau; i huna hoki tenei e Ihowa i ahau, kihai i whak aaturia ki ahau.
And when she had arrived at the man of God, on the mount, she took hold of his feet. And Gehazi drew near, so that he might remove her. But the man of God said: “Permit her. For her soul is in bitterness. And the Lord has concealed it from me, and has not revealed it to me.”
28 Katahi ka mea tera, I tonoa ranei e ahau tetahi tama i toku ariki? kihai ianei ahau i mea, Kaua ahau e tinihangatia?
And she said to him: “Did I ask a son from my lord? Did I not say to you, ‘You should not deceive me?’”
29 Katahi ia ka mea ki a Kehati, Whitikiria tou hope, maua atu hoki taku tokotoko i tou ringa, a haere: ki te tutaki koe ki te tangata, kaua e owha ki a ia; ki te owha tetahi ki a koe, kaua e whakahoki kupu ki a ia; a whakatakotoria taku tokotoko k i te mata o te tamaiti.
And so he said to Gehazi: “Gird your waist, and take my staff in your hand, and go. If any man will meet you, you shall not greet him. And if anyone greets you, you shall not respond to him. And place my staff upon the face of the boy.”
30 Na ka mea te whaea o te tamaiti, E ora ana a Ihowa, e ora ana hoki tou wairua, e kore ahau e whakarere i a koe. Na whakatika ana ia, haere ana i muri i te wahine.
But the mother of the boy said, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not release you.” Therefore, he rose up, and he followed her.
31 Na ko Kehati kua pahemo i mua i a raua, a whakatakotoria ana e ia te tokotoko ki te mata o te tamaiti; otiia kahore he reo, kahore hoki he ohonga ake. Heoi hoki ana ia ki te whakatau i a ia, a ka korero ki a ia, ka mea, Kihai i korikori te tamai ti.
But Gehazi had gone before them, and he had placed the staff upon the face of the boy. And there was no voice, nor any response. And so he returned to meet him. And he reported to him, saying, “The boy did not rise up.”
32 A, no te taenga o Eriha ki te whare, na, kua mate te tamaiti, e takoto ana i tona moenga
Therefore, Elisha entered the house. And behold, the boy was lying dead upon his bed.
33 Heoi haere ana ia ki roto, tutakina ana mai te tatu ki a raua tokorua, kei te inoi i a Ihowa.
And entering, he closed the door upon himself and the boy. And he prayed to the Lord.
34 Na piki ana ia ki runga, a takoto ana ki runga ki te tamaiti, a meatia iho ana tana mangai ki te pera, ona kanohi ki runga ki o tera kanohi, ona ringa ki runga ki o tera ringa; na wharoro ana ia ki runga ki a ia; na kua mahana haere nga kiko o t e tamaiti.
And he climbed up, and lay across the boy. And he put his mouth over his mouth, and his eyes over his eyes, and his hands over his hands. And he leaned himself over him, and the body of the boy grew warm.
35 Katahi ia ka hoki iho, ka haere a roto i te whare, Kotahi kopikotanga; a ka piki ki runga, ka wharoro ki runga ki a ia: na kua tihe te tamaiti, e whitu nga tihetanga, kua titiro nga kanohi o te tamaiti.
And returning, he walked around the house, first here and then there. And he went up, and lay across him. And the boy gasped seven times, and he opened his eyes.
36 Katahi tera ka karanga ki a Kehati, ka mea, Karangatia te Hunami nei. Heoi karangatia ana e ia. No te taenga mai o tera ki a ia, ka mea ia, Tangohia tau tama.
And he called Gehazi, and said to him, “Call this Shunammite woman.” And having been called, she entered to him. And he said, “Take up your son.”
37 Katahi ka haere mai tera, ka hinga ki ona waewae, piko ana ki te whenua; na hapainga ana e ia tana tama, puta atu ana.
She went and fell at his feet, and she reverenced upon the ground. And she took up her son, and departed.
38 Na ka tae ano a Eriha ki Kirikara; a he matekai i te whenua; a i tona aroaro nga tama a nga poropiti e noho ana: a ka mea ia ki tana tangata, Whakaekea te kohua nui, kohuatia he kai ma nga tama a nga poropiti.
And Elisha returned to Gilgal. Now there was a famine in the land, and the sons of the prophets were living in his sight. And he said to one of his servants, “Set out a large cooking pot, and boil a soup for the sons of the prophets.”
39 Na ka haere tetahi ki te parae ki te kohi puwha, ka kite i te hue maori, ka kohia e ia he hue maori, ki tonu tona kakahu; haere ana, katokatohia ana ki roto ki te kohua, ki nga mea i kohuatia ra: kihai hoki i mohiotia e ratou.
And one went out into the field, so that he might collect wild herbs. And he found something like a wild vine, and he gathered from it bitter fruits of the field, and he filled his cloak. And returning, he cut these up for the pot of soup. But he did not know what it was.
40 Heoi ringihia ana e ratou hei kai ma nga tangata. Heoi, i a ratou e kai ana i te mea i kohuatia ra, ka karanga ratou, ka mea, He mate kei roto i te kohua, e te tangata a te Atua! Na kihai i taea te kai.
Then they poured it out for their companions to eat. And when they had tasted the mixture, they cried out, saying, “Death is in the cooking pot, O man of God!” And they were unable to eat.
41 Otiia i mea ia, Tena, kawea mai he paraoa. Na maka ana e ia ki roto ki te kohua; a ka mea ia, Ringihia ma te hunga nei, kia kai ratou. Na kua kore he he i roto i te kohua.
But he said, “Bring some flour.” And when they had brought it, he cast it into the cooking pot, and he said, “Pour it out for the group, so that they may eat.” And there was no longer any bitterness in the cooking pot.
42 Na ka tae mai tetahi tangata o Paarahariha, ka mauria mai he taro matamua ma te tangata a te Atua, e rua tekau nga taro, he mea parei, me etahi hua witi i roto i tana kopaki. A ka mea ia, Hoatu ki te hunga nei, kia kai ratou.
Now a certain man arrived from Baal-Shalishah, carrying, for the man of God, bread from the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and new grain in his satchel. But he said, “Give it to the people, so that they may eat.”
43 Ano ra ko tana tuari, Ha, me hoatu ranei tenei e ahau ma nga tangata kotahi rau? Ano ra ko ia, Hoatu ma te iwi, kia kai ratou; ko ta Ihowa kupu hoki tenei, Ka kai ratou, a toe ake.
And his servant responded to him, “What amount is this, that I should set it before a hundred men?” But he said again: “Give it to the people, so that they may eat. For thus says the Lord, ‘They shall eat, and there shall be still more.’”
44 Heoi hoatu ana e ia ki to ratou aroaro, a kainga ana e ratou, a toe ake; i rite tonu ki ta Ihowa kupu.
And so, he set it before them. And they ate, and there was still more, in accord with the word of the Lord.
