< 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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita kia ʻIlaisa, “Vakai eni, kuo ʻapiʻapi kiate kitautolu ʻae potu ʻoku tau nonofo ai mo koe.
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.
‌ʻOku mau kole kiate koe, ke ke tuku ke mau ʻalu ki Sioatani, pea taki taha toʻo ʻe he tangata haʻane ʻakau lalanga, pea mau ngaohi ʻi ai ha potu ke tau nofo ai.” Pea naʻe talaange ʻe ia, ʻo pehē, “Mou ʻalu.”
3 Na ka mea tetahi, Tena, whakaae mai kia haere koe i au pononga. Ano ra ko ia, Ka haere ano ahau.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tokotaha, “ʻOku ou kole ke ke fiemālie mo ke ʻalu mo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki.” Pea naʻa ne pehēange, “Te u ʻalu pe.”
4 Heoi haere ana ia i a ratou. I to ratou taenga ki Horano, kei te topetope rakau.
Ko ia naʻa ne ʻalu ai mo kinautolu. Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko atu ki Sioatani, naʻa nau fai ʻae taʻanga.
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.
Kae lolotonga ʻa ʻene tā ha ʻakau ʻe he tokotaha, naʻe tō hifo ʻae toki ukamea ki he vai: pea naʻa ne tangi mo pehē, “ʻOiauē, ʻa [ʻeku ]ʻeiki! He naʻe nō ia.”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, naʻe tō hifo ia ʻi fē? Pea naʻa ne fakahā kiate ia ʻae potu. Pea naʻa ne tutuʻu mai ha vaʻa ʻakau mo ne lī ia ki ai pea naʻe tētē hake ʻae ukamea.
7 Na ka mea ia, Tangohia ki a koe. Na ka totoro tona ringa, a tangohia ana e ia.
Ko ia naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Toʻo hake ia kiate koe.” Pea naʻa ne mafao atu hono nima, mo ne toʻo ia.
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.
Pea naʻe fai ʻae tau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Silia ki ʻIsileli, pea ne fakakaukau mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻi he potu ko ē mo ē ʻa hoku ʻapitanga tau.
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.
Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, Vakai ke ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu ange ki he potu na; he kuo hoko hifo ki ai ʻae kakai Silia.
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.
Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ki he potu naʻe fakaʻilo ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua mo valoki ai ia, pea naʻa ne fakamoʻui ia ʻi ai ʻo ʻikai ke liunga taha pe liunga ua.
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?
Ko ia naʻe puputuʻu lahi ʻae loto ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Silia ʻi he meʻa ni; pea naʻa ne ui mai ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻE ʻikai te mou fakahā mai pe ko hai ʻiate kitautolu ʻoku kau ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tokotaha ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “ʻA ʻeku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ka ko ʻIlaisa pe ko e palōfita ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻoku tala ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻae ngaahi lea ʻaia ʻoku ke lea ʻaki ʻi hoʻo potu mohe.”
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.
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻAlu ʻo vakai pe ʻoku ʻi fē ia, koeʻuhi ke u fekau atu mo ʻomi ia.” Pea naʻe tala kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Vakai ʻoku ne nofo ʻi Totani.”
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.
Ko ia naʻa ne fekau ki ai ʻae fanga hoosi, mo e ngaahi saliote, mo e fuʻu kakai tokolahi: pea naʻa nau omi poʻuli pe ʻonau kāpui ʻae kolo.
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?
Pea ʻi heʻene tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, mo ne ʻalu kituʻa, “Vakai, naʻe kāpui ʻae kolo ʻe he fuʻu kakai tokolahi ʻaki ʻae fanga hoosi mo e ngaahi saliote.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe heʻene tamaioʻeiki kiate ia, “ʻOiauē ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki! Ko e hā te ta fai?”
16 Ano ra ko ia, Kaua e wehi; hira ake hoki o tatou hoa i o ratou hoa.
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē: he ko kinautolu ʻoku kau mai kiate kitaua ʻoku tokolahi hake ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku kau kiate kinautolu.”
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.
Pea naʻe lotu ʻa ʻIlaisa, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fakaʻā ʻa hono mata, koeʻuhi ke ne mamata.” Pea naʻe fakaʻā ʻae mata ʻoe talavou ʻe Sihova; pea naʻa ne sio: pea vakai, naʻe fonu ʻae moʻunga ʻi he fanga hoosi mo e ngaahi saliote afi naʻe nofo takatakai ʻia ʻIlaisa.
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.
Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko hifo kiate ia, naʻe lotu ʻa ʻIlaisa kia Sihova, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe ke ke taaʻi ʻae kakai ni ke nau kui.” Pea naʻa ne taaʻi ke kui ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻa ʻIlaisa.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai ko e hala eni, pea ʻoku ʻikai ko e kolo eni: muimui mai ʻiate au, pea te u ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he tangata ʻoku mou kumi ki ai.” Ka naʻa ne tataki ʻakinautolu ki Samēlia.
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.
Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko mai ki Samēlia, naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa, “ʻE Sihova, ke ke fakaʻā ʻae mata ʻoe kau tangata ni, koeʻuhi ke nau mamata.” Pea naʻe fakaʻā honau mata ʻe Sihova, pea naʻa nau mamata; pea vakai, kuo nau ʻi he loto [kolo ]ʻo Samēlia.
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?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia ʻIlaisa, ʻi heʻene mamata kiate kinautolu, “ʻA ʻeku tamai, te u teʻia ʻakinautolu pe ʻikai? Te u teʻia ʻakinautolu?”
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.
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻE ʻikai te ke teʻia ʻakinautolu: te ke fie tāmate ʻakinautolu kuo ke maʻu pōpula ʻi hoʻo heletā pea mo hoʻo kaufana? Tuku ki honau ʻao ʻae mā mo e vai, koeʻuhi ke nau kai mo inu, pea ʻalu ki honau ʻeiki.”
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.
Pea naʻa ne teuteu maʻanautolu ʻae meʻakai lahi: pea hili ʻenau kai mo inu, naʻa ne fekau ke nau ʻalu, pea naʻa nau ʻalu ki honau ʻeiki. Pea pehē naʻe ʻikai toe haʻu ʻae ngaahi kautau mei Silia ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli.
24 Na, muri iho i tenei, ka huihuia e Peneharara kingi o Hiria tana ope katoa, a haere ana, whakapaea ana a Hamaria.
Pea hili ange eni, naʻe tānaki ʻe Penihatati ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia ʻa ʻene kautau kotoa pē, mo ne ʻalu hake, ʻo ne kāpui ʻa Samēlia ʻaki ʻae tau.
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.
Pea naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae honge ʻi Samēlia: pea vakai, naʻa nau kāpui ai pe ia ʻaki ʻae tau, pea ko e meʻa ia naʻe fakatau ai ʻae ʻulu ʻoe ʻasi ʻaki ʻae paʻanga siliva ʻe valungofulu, pea mo e vahe fā ʻoe kape ʻo ʻete lupe ki he konga siliva ʻe nima.
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.
Pea lolotonga ʻae ʻalu ange ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he funga ʻā, naʻe tangi mai kiate ia ha fefine, ʻo pehē, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki, ko e tuʻi, tokoni mai.”
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?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai fakamoʻui koe ʻe Sihova, ʻe fēfē ʻa ʻeku tokoni koe ʻeau? Mei he tukuʻanga uite, pe mei he tataʻoʻanga uaine?”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻa hoʻo mamahi?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Naʻe pehē mai ʻe he fefine ni kiate au, ‘Foaki hoʻo tama ʻaʻau, ke ta kai ia he ʻaho ni, pea te ta kai ʻa ʻeku tama ʻaʻaku ʻi he ʻapongipongi.’
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.
Ko ia ne ma haka ʻa ʻeku tama, pea ne ma kai ia: pea naʻaku pehē kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha, Foaki ʻa hoʻo tama ʻaʻau, ke ta kai ia: ka kuo ne fufū ʻa ʻene tama.”
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.
Pea vakai ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe he tuʻi ki he ngaahi lea ʻae fefine, naʻa ne haehae ʻa hono ngaahi kofu; pea naʻa ne ʻalu ange ʻi he funga ʻā, pea naʻe sio ʻae kakai, pea vakai kuo ne ʻai ʻae kofu tauangaʻa ki loto ki hono kakano.
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.
Pea naʻa ne toki pehē, “Ke fai pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kiate au ʻo lahi hake, ʻo kapau ʻe kei tuʻu ʻae ʻulu ʻo ʻIlaisa ko e foha ʻo Safati kiate ia he ʻaho ni.”
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?
Ka naʻe nofo pe ʻa ʻIlaisa ʻi hono fale, pea naʻe nonofo mo ia ʻae kau mātuʻa; pea naʻe fekau atu [ʻe he tuʻi ]ha tangata meiate ia: ka ʻi he teʻeki hoko mai ʻae talafekau kiate ia, naʻa ne pehē ki he kau mātuʻa, “ʻOku mou vakai, ki heʻene fekau mai ʻe he foha ni ʻoe fakapō, ke ne toʻo ʻo ʻave ʻa hoku ʻulu? Vakai, ʻoka hoko mai ʻae talafekau, tāpuni ʻae matapā, pea taʻofi maʻu ia ki he matapā: ʻikai kuo patū mai ʻae vaʻe ʻo ʻene ʻeiki ki mui ʻiate ia?”
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?
Pea lolotonga ʻa ʻene kei talanoa mo kinautolu, vakai, naʻe hoko hifo kiate ia ʻae talafekau: pea naʻa ne pehē, “Vakai ʻoku meia Sihova ʻae kovi ni; koeʻumaʻā ʻa ʻeku kei tatali ai kia Sihova?”
