2 Kingi 6
1 Na ka mea nga tama a nga poropiti ki a Eriha, Nana, ko te wahi e noho nei matou i tou aroaro he kuiti rawa mo tatou.
And the sons of the prophets said to Elisaie, Behold now, the place wherein we dwell before thee is too narrow for us.
2 Tena, tukua matou kia haere ki Horano, ki te tango kurupae mai i reira, tenei, tenei o matou, ka hanga ai i tetahi wahi i reira hei nohoanga mo tatou. A ka whakahokia e ia, Haere koutou.
Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and make for ourselves a habitation there.
3 Na ka mea tetahi, Tena, whakaae mai kia haere koe i au pononga. Ano ra ko ia, Ka haere ano ahau.
And he said, Go. And one of them said gently, Come with thy servants. And he said, I will go.
4 Heoi haere ana ia i a ratou. I to ratou taenga ki Horano, kei te topetope rakau.
And he went with them, and they came to Jordan, and began to cut down wood.
5 Otiia i tetahi e tua ana i te rakau, ka marere te pane o te toki ki te wai: na ka karanga ia, ka mea, Aue, e toku ariki! he toki na te tangata.
And behold, one was cutting down a beam, and the axe head fell into the water: and he cried out, Alas! master: and it was hidden.
6 Na ka mea te tangata a te Atua, Tena koa te wahi i marere ai? A ka whakaaturia e ia ki a ia te wahi. Na tapahia ana e ia tetahi rakau, a maka ana ki reira, na kua manu taua rino.
And the man of God said, Where did it fall? and he shewed him the place: and he broke off a stick, and threw it in there, and the iron came to the surface.
7 Na ka mea ia, Tangohia ki a koe. Na ka totoro tona ringa, a tangohia ana e ia.
And he said, Take it up to thyself. And he stretched out his hand, and took it.
8 Na ka whawhai te kingi o Hiria ki a Iharaira; a ka whakatakoto whakaaro ia ki ana tangata, ka mea, Ko te wahi hei puni moku, kei mea.
And the king of Syria was at war with Israel: and he consulted with his servants, saying, I will encamp in such a place.
9 Na ka tono tangata te tangata a te Atua ki te kingi o Iharaira ki te ki atu, Kia tupato kei tika koe na taua wahi: kei te haere hoki nga Hirianai ki raro, ki reira.
And Elisaie sent to the king of Israel, saying, Take heed that thou pass not by that place, for the Syrians are hidden there.
10 Na ka unga tangata te kingi o Iharaira ki te wahi i kiia ra e te tangata a te Atua ki a ia, i whakatupato ai ia i a ia; a ka honea ia i reira, ehara ano i te tuatahi, i te tuarua ranei.
And the king of Israel sent to the place which Elisaie mentioned to him, and saved himself thence not once or twice.
11 Na pohewa noa iho te ngakau o te kingi o Hiria i tenei mea; a ka karangatia e ia ana tangata, ka mea ki a ratou, E kore ianei koutou e whakaatu ki ahau, ko wai o tatou kei te kingi o Iharaira?
And the mind of the king of Syria was very much disturbed concerning this thing; and he called his servants, and said to them, Will ye not tell me who betrays me to the king of Israel?
12 Ka mea tetahi o ana tangata, Kahore, e toku ariki, e te kingi; engari ko Eriha, ko te poropiti kei roto i a Iharaira, kei te whakaatu ki te kingi o Iharaira i nga kupu e korero ai koe i tou whare moenga.
And one of his servants said, Nay, my Lord, O king, for Elisaie the prophet that is in Israel reports to the king of Israel all the words whatsoever thou mayest say in thy bedchamber.
13 Na ka mea ia, Tikina, tirohia, kei hea ia, kia unga ai e ahau he tangata ki te tiki i a ia. A ka korerotia ki a ia, Nana, kei Rotana.
And he said, Go, see where this man [is], and I will send and take him. And they sent word to him, saying, Behold, [he is] in Dothaim.
14 Na tonoa ana e ia ki reira he hoiho, he hariata, me tetahi ope nui: a haere po ana ratou, karapotia ana te pa.
And he sent thither horses, and chariots, and a mighty host: and they came by night, and compassed about the city.
15 Na, i te marangatanga o te kaimahi a te tangata a te Atua i te ata tu, i te putanga ki waho, na, he taua e karapoti ana i te pa, me nga hoiho, me nga hariata. Na ka mea tana tangata ki a ia, Aue, e toku ariki, me aha tatou?
And the servant of Elisaie rose up early and went out; and, behold, a host compassed the city, and horses and chariots: and the servant said to him, O master, what shall we do?
16 Ano ra ko ia, Kaua e wehi; hira ake hoki o tatou hoa i o ratou hoa.
And Elisaie said, Fear not, for they who are with us [are] more than they that are with them.
17 Na ka inoi a Eriha, a ka mea, E Ihowa, kia titiro ona kanohi, kia kite ai ia. Na whakatirohia ana nga kanohi o taua taitamariki; a ka kite ia; na, kapi tonu te maunga i te hoiho, i te hariata ahi i nga taha katoa o Eriha.
And Elisaie prayed, and said, Lord, open, I pray thee, the eyes of the servant, and let him see. And the Lord opened his eyes, and he saw: and, behold, the mountain [was] full of horses, and there were chariots of fire round about Elisaie.
18 Na, i to ratou haerenga ki raro ki a ia, ka inoi a Eriha ki a Ihowa, ka mea, Tena ra, patua tenei iwi kia matapo. Na patua ana ratou e ia kia matapo, pera tonu ia me ta Eriha i ki ai.
And they came down to him; and he prayed to the Lord, and said, Smite, I pray thee, this people with blindness. And he smote them with blindness, according to the word of Elisaie.
19 Na ka mea a Eriha ki a ratou, Ehara tenei i te huarahi, ehara hoki tenei i te pa: whai mai i ahau, a maku koutou e arahi ki ta koutou tangata e rapu nei. A arahina ana ratou e ia ki Hamaria.
And Elisaie said to them, This [is] not the city, and this [is] not the way: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. And he led them away to Samaria.
20 A, no te taenga ki Hamaria, ka mea a Eriha, E Ihowa, whakatirohia nga kanohi o enei, kia kite ai ratou. Na whakatirohia ana e Ihowa o ratou kanohi, a ka kite ratou; na, i waenganui pu ratou o Hamaria.
And it came to pass when they entered into Samaria, that Elisaie said, Open, I pray thee, O Lord, their eyes, and let them see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
21 Na ka mea te kingi o Iharaira ki a Eriha, i tona kitenga i a ratou, Kia patua e ahau, e toku papa? kia patua e ahau?
And the king of Israel said to Elisaie, when he saw them, Shall I [not] verily smite them, [my] father?
22 Ano ra ko ia, Kaua e patua e koe. E patua ranei e koe au i hopu ai ki tau hoari, ki tau kopere? Whakatakotoria he taro, he wai ki o ratou aroaro, kia kai ratou, kia inu, kia hoki ki to ratou ariki.
And he said, Thou shalt not smite them, unless thou wouldest smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow: set bread and water before them, and let them eat and drink, and depart to their master.
23 Na taka ana e ia he kai ma ratou, he nui: a, ka kai ratou, ka inu, ka tonoa atu ratou e ia, a haere ana ratou ki to ratou ariki. Na heoi ano haerenga mai o nga taua a nga Hiriani ki te whenua o Iharaira.
And he set before them a great feast, and they ate and drank: and he dismissed them and they departed to their master. And the bands of Syria came no longer into the land of Israel.
24 Na, muri iho i tenei, ka huihuia e Peneharara kingi o Hiria tana ope katoa, a haere ana, whakapaea ana a Hamaria.
And it came to pass after this, that the son of Ader king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
25 Na nui atu te matekai o Hamaria: na, whakapaea ana a reira e ratou, nawai a ka hokona te upoko kaihe mo nga pihi hiriwa e waru tekau, te wahi wha hoki o te kapa paru kukupa mo nga pihi hiriwa e rima.
And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was [valued] at fifty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung at five pieces of silver.
26 Na, i te kingi o Iharaira e haere ana na runga i te taiepa, ka karanga tetahi wahine ki a ia, ka mea, Whakaorangia, e te ariki, e te kingi.
And the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, and a woman cried to him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
27 Ano ra ko ia, Ka kore nei a Ihowa e whakaora i a koe, kei hea he mea maku hei whakaora i a koe? kei te tapunga witi ranei? kei te poka waina ranei?
And he said to her, Unless the Lord help thee, whence shall I help thee? from the corn-floor, or from the wine-press?
28 A ka mea te kingi ki a ia, He aha tau? Ano ra ko ia, I mea mai te wahine nei ki ahau, Homai tau tama hei kai ma taua aianei, a hei apopo ka kai taua i taku tama.
And the king said to her, What is [the matter] with thee? And the woman said to him, This [woman] said to me, Give thy son, and we will eat him to-day, and we will eat my son to-morrow.
29 Heoi kohuatia ana e maua taku tama, kainga ana e maua: na i te aonga ake ka mea atu ahau ki a ia, Homai tau tama kia kainga e taua: na kua huna e ia tana tama.
So we boiled my son, and ate him; and I said to her on the second day, Give thy son, and let us eat him: and she has hidden her son.
30 Na, i te rongonga o te kingi i nga kupu a taua wahine, ka haea e ia ona kakahu; i runga hoki ia i te taiepa e haere ana; a ka titiro te iwi, na, he kakahu taratara tena kei roto, kei tona kiri.
And it came to pass, when the king of Israel heard the words of the woman, [that] he rent his garments; and he passed by on the wall, and the people saw sackcloth within upon his flesh.
31 Katahi ia ka mea, Kia meatia mai tenei ki ahau e te Atua, me tetahi atu mea, ki te u te matenga o Eriha tama a Hapata ki runga ki a ia aianei.
And he said, God do so to me and more also, if the head of Elisaie shall stand upon him this day.
32 Otiia i noho a Eriha i roto i tona whare, a i noho tahi ratou ko nga kaumatua; na ka unga tangata te kingi i tona aroaro: otiia kiano te karere i tae noa ki a ia, ka mea ia ki nga kaumatua, Kia kite koutou kua unga tangata mai tenei tama a te ka ikohuru ki te tango i toku upoko? Kia mohio, ina tae mai te karere, tutakina te tatau, kia u hoki te pupuri atu i te tatau ki a ia: he teka ianei kei muri i a ia te tapuwae o nga waewae o tona ariki?
And Elisaie was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him; and [the king] sent a man before him: before the messenger came to him, he also said to the elders, Do ye see that this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? See, as soon as the messenger shall have come, shut the door, and forcibly detain him at the door: [is] not the sound of his master's feet behind him?
33 I a ia ano e korero ana ki a ratou, na ko te karere kua tae iho ki a ia: a ka mea ia, Nana, na Ihowa tenei kino; ko te ahau taku e tatari atu ai ano i a Ihowa?
While he was yet speaking with them, behold, a messenger came to him: and he said, Behold, this evil [is] of the Lord; why should I wait for the Lord any longer?
