2 Kingi 8
1 Na kua korero a Eriha ki te wahine nana nei te tamaiti i whakaorangia e ia, kua mea, Whakatika, haere koutou ko tou whare, a e noho ki tau wahi e noho ai koe: kua karangatia hoki e Ihowa he matekai; a ka pa hoki ki te whenua, e whitu tau.
Elisha told the woman whose son he had brought back to life, “You and your family need to pack up and leave, and live where you can somewhere else like a foreigner. For the Lord announced a famine will come to the land and will last seven years.”
2 Na ka whakatika taua wahine, ka mea i ta te tangata a te Atua i ki ai: a haere ana ratou ko tona whare, noho ana ki te whenua o nga Pirihitini, e whitu nga tau.
The woman packed up and did what the man of God had told her. She and her family went and lived as foreigners for seven years in the country of the Philistines.
3 Na, i te takanga o nga tau e whitu, ka hoki atu taua wahine i te whenua o nga Pirihitini: a haere ana ia ki te karanga ki te kingi mo tona whare, mo tana mara.
When the seven years were over, she came back from the country of the Philistines and went to the king to appeal for the return of her house and lands.
4 Na ko te kingi i te korero ki a Kehati, tangata a te tangata a te Atua; i mea hoki ia, Tena, korerotia mai ki ahau nga mahi nunui katoa i mea ai a Eriha.
The king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, asking him, “Please tell me about all the wonderful things Elisha did.”
5 A, i a ia e korero ana ki te kingi i tana whakaoranga i te tupapaku, na, ko te wahine nana nei te tamaiti i whakaorangia e ia i te mate, e karanga ana ki te kingi mo tona whare, mo tana mara. Na ka mea a Kehati, E toku ariki, e te kingi, koia ten ei te wahine, a ko tana tama tenei i whakaorangia ra e Eriha.
It so happened that right then Gehazi was telling the king the story of how Elisha had brought the dead boy back to life when his mother arrived to make her appeal to the king for the return of her house and lands. “My lord the king,” Gehazi called out, “this is the woman, and this is her son that Elisha brought back to life.”
6 A, i te uinga a te kingi ki te wahine ra, ka korerotia e ia ki a ia. Heoi ka tukua e te kingi ki a ia tetahi o nga rangatira, ka mea, Whakahokia ana mea katoa, me nga hua katoa o te mara mai o te ra i mahue ai i a ia te whenua a mohoa noa nei.
The king asked the woman about it and she explained the whole story to him. The king gave orders to an official, saying, “Make sure everything that belonged to her is returned to her, together with all the profit from her lands from the day that she left the country until now.”
7 A i haere a Eriha ki Ramahiku; a e mate ana a Peneharara kingi o Hiria; na ka whakaaturia ki a ia, ka korerotia, Kua tae mai te tangata a te Atua ki konei.
Elisha went to Damascus when Ben-hadad king of Aram was ill. The king was informed, “The man of God has arrived in town.”
8 Na ka mea atu te kingi ki a Hataere, Maua atu tetahi hakari i tou ringa, ka haere ki te whakatau i te tangata a te Atua, ka ui ki ta Ihowa ki a ia, ka mea, E ora ranei ahau i tenei mate?
The king ordered Hazael, “Take a gift with you and go and meet the man of God. Ask him to ask the Lord, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”
9 Na haere ana a Hataere ki te whakatau i a ia, me te mau ano he hakari i tona ringa, i etahi o nga mea papai katoa o Ramahiku, he kawenga na nga kamera e wha tekau, a ka tae, ka tu i tona aroaro, ka mea, Na tau tama, na Peneharara kingi o Hiria ah au i unga mai ki a koe, hei mea, E ora ranei ahau i tenei mate?
So Hazael went to meet Elisha. He took with him a gift of all the best things from Damascus—forty camel-loads of goods. He came in and stood before him and said, “Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you to ask, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”
10 Ano ra ko Eriha ki a ia, Haere, mea atu ki a ia, E ora ano koe; otiia kua oti i a Ihowa te whakakite mai ki ahau, tera ia e mate.
“Go and tell him, ‘You will definitely recover.’ But the Lord has shown me that definitely he is going to die,” Elisha replied.
11 Na ka whakatau ia i tona mata ki runga ki a ia, u tonu, a whakama noa ia; ko te tino tangihanga o te tangata a te Atua.
Elisha stared at him for a long time until Hazael became uncomfortable. Then the man of God started to cry.
12 Na ka mea a Hataere, Na te aha toku ariki i tangi ai? Ano ra ko ia, No te mea e mohio ana ahau ki te kino e meatia e koe ki nga tama a Iharaira; ko o ratou pa e tahuna e koe ki te ahi, ko a ratou taitamariki e patua e koe ki te hoari, ko a ratou kohungahunga e taia iho e koe, a ko a ratou wahine hapu ka ripiripia e koe.
“Why are you crying, my lord?” asked Hazael. “Because I know the evil things you are going to do to the Israelites,” Elisha replied. “You will set their fortresses on fire, kill their young men with the sword, dash to pieces their little ones, and rip open their pregnant women.”
13 Ano ra ko Hataere, Ha! he aha tau pononga, he kuri noa nei, kia meatia e ia tenei mea nui? Ano ra ko Eriha, Kua whakakitea mai e Ihowa ki ahau, ko koe hei kingi mo Hiria.
“But how could someone like me who's just a ‘dog’ achieve anything like that?” Hazael asked. “The Lord has shown me that you are going to be the king of Aram,” Elisha replied.
14 Heoi mawehe atu ana ia i a Eriha, a ka tae ki tona ariki; a ka mea tera ki a ia, I pehea mai te kupu a Eriha ki a koe? Ano ra ko ia, E ki ana ia, tera koe e ora.
Hazael left Elisha and went to his master, who asked him, “What did Elisha tell you?” Hazael replied, “He told me you would definitely recover.”
15 Na, i te aonga ake, ka mau ia ki te kakahu matotoru, a tukua ana ki te wai, a uhia ana ki tona mata, na kua mate: a ko Hataere te kingi i muri i a ia.
But the following day Hazael took the bed cover, soaked it in water, and spread it over the king's face until he died. Then Hazael took over from him as king.
16 I te rima o nga tau o Iorama tama a Ahapa kingi o Iharaira, i a Iehohapata e kingi ana ki a Hura, ka kingi a Iehorama tama a Iehohapata kingi o Hura.
Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, began his reign as king of Judah in the fifth year of the reign of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, while Jehoshaphat was still king of Judah.
17 E toru tekau ma rua ona tau i a ia ka kingi nei, a e waru nga tau i kingi ai ia i Hiruharama.
He was thirty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eight years.
18 Na haere ana ia i te ara o nga kingi o Iharaira, pera tonu me nga mahi a te whare o Ahapa: i a ia hoki te tamahine a Ahapa hei wahine: a i mahia e ia te mea kino ki ta Ihowa titiro.
Jehoram followed the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for he married a daughter of Ahab and did what was evil in the Lord's sight.
19 Otiia kihai a Ihowa i pai ki te whakangaro i a Hura, i whakaaro hoki ki tana pononga, ki a Rawiri, i korero hoki ia ki a ia, ka hoatu e ia ki a ia he rama ma ana tamariki mo nga ra katoa.
But for the sake of David his servant the Lord didn't want to destroy Judah since he had promised him that there would always be a ruler from his descendants, like a lamp forever.
20 I ona ra ka maunu a Eroma i raro i te ringa o Hura, a whakakingitia ana he kingi mo ratou.
During Jehoram's time as king, Edom rebelled against Judah's rule and chose their own king.
21 Katahi ka haere a Iorama ki Tairi, me ana hariata katoa i a ia: a whakatika ana ia i te po, a patua iho e ia nga Eromi i karapotia ai ia, ratou ko nga rangatira o nga hariata: e rere ana te iwi ki o ratou teneti.
So Jehoram went over to Zair with all his chariots. The Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, but he took action and attacked at night. But his army ran back to their homes.
22 Heoi i maunu a Eroma i raro i te ringa o Hura a tae noa ki tenei ra. Katahi ka maunu ano hoki a Ripina i taua wa.
As a result Edom has been in rebellion against Judah's rule to this day. At the same time Libnah also decided to rebel.
23 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Iorama, me ana mahi katoa, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?
The rest of what happened in Jehoram's reign and all that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
24 Na kua moe a Iorama ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki ona matua ki te pa o Rawiri; a ko Ahatia, ko tana tama te kingi i muri i a ia.
Jehoram died and was buried with his forefathers in the City of David. His son Ahaziah succeeded him as king.
25 Na, i te tekau ma rua o nga tau o Iorama tama a Ahapa kingi o Iharaira, ka kingi a Ahatia tama a Iehorama kingi o Hura.
Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, became king of Judah in the twelfth year of the reign of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel.
26 E rua tekau ma rua nga tau o Ahatia i a ia ka kingi nei; a kotahi ona tau i kingi ai i Hiruharama. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Ataria tamahine a Omori kingi o Iharaira.
Ahaziah was twenty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri, king of Israel.
27 Na haere ana ia i te ara o te whare o Ahapa, a mahia ana e ia te kino ki te titiro a Ihowa, pera tonu me ta te whare o Ahapa: ko ia hoki te hunaonga o te whare o Ahapa.
Ahaziah also followed the evil ways of the family of Ahab, and did what was evil in the Lord's sight as the family of Ahab had done, for he was related to them by marriage.
28 Na haere ana ia me Iorama tama a Ahapa ki te whawhai ki a Hataere kingi o Hiria ki Ramoto Kireara: na tu ana a Iorama i nga Hiriani.
Ahaziah went with Joram, son of Ahab, to fight against Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead. The Arameans wounded Joram,
29 Na hoki ana a Kingi Iorama ki Ietereere kia rongoatia nga tunga i tu ai ia i nga Hiriani ki Rama, i tana whawhai ki a Hataere kingi o Hiria. A haere ana a Ahatia tama a Iehorama kingi o Hura ki raro kia kite i a Iorama tama a Ahapa ki Ietereere, no te mea e mate ana ia.
and he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he'd received in Ramah fighting against Hazael king of Aram. Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went to Jezreel to visit Joram, son of Ahab, because Joram was wounded.
