1 Pea ko eni, naʻe tangi kalanga ha fefine ko e tokotaha ʻi he ngaahi uaifi ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita, kia ʻIlaisa, ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo pekia ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko hoku husepāniti; pea ʻoku ke ʻilo naʻe manavahē ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki kia Sihova: pea kuo haʻu ʻae tangata ʻeke totongi ke ne ʻave mo ia ʻa ʻeku ongo tama ke na tamaioʻeiki kiate ia.”
Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead. You know that your servant feared Yahweh. Now the creditor has come to take for himself my two children to be slaves.”
2 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa kiate ia, “Ko e hā ha meʻa te u fai maʻau? Fakahā mai pe ko e hā ha meʻa ʻoku ke maʻu ʻi fale?” Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe ia, “ʻOku ʻikai maʻu ʻe hoʻo kaunanga ha meʻa ʻi fale, ka ko e hina pe taha ʻoe lolo.”
Elisha said to her, “What should I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She said, “Your servant has nothing in the house, except a pot of oil.”
3 Pea toki pehē ʻe ia, “Ke ke ʻalu, mo kole mai ha ngaahi ipu mei ho kāinga kotoa pē, ʻae ngaahi ngeʻesi ipu; pea ʻoua naʻa kole fakasiʻisiʻi pe.
Then he said, “Go, borrow empty containers from all your neighbors. Don’t borrow just a few containers.
4 Pea ʻoka ke ka toe hū mai, te ke tāpuni ʻae matapā kiate koe, pea mo hoʻo ongotama, pea te ke lilingi ki he ngaahi ipu kotoa pē ko ia, pea te ke tuku kehe ʻaia ʻoku fakafonu.”
Go in and shut the door on you and on your sons, and pour oil into all those containers; and set aside those which are full.”
5 Ko ia naʻa ne ʻalu atu meiate ia, mo ne tāpuni ʻae matapā kiate ia mo ʻene ongotama, ʻaia naʻe fetuku mai [ʻae ngaahi ipu ]kiate ia; ka naʻe lilingi atu ʻe ia.
So she went from him, and shut the door on herself and on her sons. They brought the containers to her, and she poured oil.
6 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene pito ʻae ngaahi ipu, naʻa ne pehēange ki heʻene tama, “Toe ʻomi mo ha ipu ʻe taha.” Pea naʻe pehē atu ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai toe ha taha.” Pea naʻe tuku ʻae tafe ʻoe lolo.
When the containers were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another container.” He said to her, “There isn’t another container.” Then the oil stopped flowing.
7 Pea naʻa ne toki haʻu ʻo fakahā ia ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻAlu, ʻo fakatau ʻae lolo, pea ʻatu ʻae totongi kiate ia ʻoku ʻeke, pea ko hono toe ke ke moʻui ai koe pea mo hoʻo fānau.”
Then she came and told the man of God. He said, “Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.”
8 Pea ko e ʻaho ʻe taha naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa ʻIlaisa ki Sunemi, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ha fefine koloaʻia; pea naʻa ne taʻofi ia ke ne kai ha meʻa. Pea naʻe pehē, ʻilonga pe ʻa ʻene ʻalu atu ai naʻa ne foki atu ke kai mā ʻi ai.
One day Elisha went to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman; and she persuaded him to eat bread. So it was, that as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread.
9 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fefine ki hono husepāniti, “Vakai mai, ʻoku ou ʻilo ko e tangata māʻoniʻoni eni ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku afe mai kiate kitaua maʻuaipē.
She said to her husband, “See now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God who passes by us continually.
10 Ke ta ngaohi ha kihiʻi potu fale, ʻi he funga ʻā maka; pea ke ta tuku maʻana ha mohenga ʻi ai, mo ha palepale, mo ha nofoʻa, mo ha tuʻunga maama: pea ʻe pehē, ʻoka haʻu ia kiate kitaua, te ne nofo ki ai.”
Please, let’s make a little room on the roof. Let’s set a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp stand for him there. When he comes to us, he can stay there.”
11 Pea naʻe hoko ki he ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻa ne haʻu ki ai, pea naʻa ne afe atu ki he potu fale, mo tokoto ai.
One day he came there, and he went to the room and lay there.
12 Pea naʻa ne pehē ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Kehesi, “Ui mai ʻae fefine Sunemi ni.” Pea hili ʻa ʻene ui ki ai naʻa ne tuʻu mai ʻi hono ʻao.
He said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” When he had called her, she stood before him.
13 Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Ke ke fakahā ni kiate ia, Vakai, kuo ke tokanga kiate kimaua ʻi he tokanga lahi ni; ka ko e hā ha meʻa ʻe fai maʻau? Te ke loto ke fai ha lea maʻau ki he tuʻi, pe ki he ʻeiki pule ʻoe kautau?” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou nofo pe ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hoku kakai ʻoʻoku.”
He said to him, “Say now to her, ‘Behold, you have cared for us with all this care. What is to be done for you? Would you like to be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the army?’” She answered, “I dwell among my own people.”
14 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ka kuo pehē, pea ko e hā ha meʻa ʻe fai maʻana?” Pea naʻe pehē atu ʻe Kehesi, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ʻikai haʻane tamasiʻi, pea kuo motuʻa ʻa hono husepāniti.”
He said, “What then is to be done for her?” Gehazi answered, “Most certainly she has no son, and her husband is old.”
15 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ui atu kiate ia.” Pea ʻosi ʻa ʻene ui ia, naʻa ne tuʻu ʻi he hūʻanga matapā.
He said, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in the door.
16 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻI he faʻahitaʻu ko eni, ʻo fakatatau mo hono kuonga, te ke fāʻufua ha tama.” Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOua, ʻa hoku ʻeiki, ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke loi ki hoʻo kaunanga.”
He said, “At this season next year, you will embrace a son.” She said, “No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your servant.”
17 Pea naʻe tuituʻia ʻae fefine, pea ne fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama ʻi he kuonga ko ia naʻe fakahā kiate ia ʻe ʻIlaisa, ʻo fakatatau mo e kuonga ʻoe feitama.
The woman conceived, and bore a son at that season when the time came around, as Elisha had said to her.
18 Pea ʻi heʻene tupu ke lahi ʻae tamasiʻi, naʻe hoko ki he ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻe ʻalu ai ia ki heʻene tamai mo e kau tuʻusi ʻoe ututaʻu.
When the child was grown, one day he went out to his father to the reapers.
19 Pea naʻa ne pehē ki heʻene tamai, “ʻA hoku ʻulu, ʻa hoku ʻulu!” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki ha tama talavou, “Fua ia ʻo ʻave ki heʻene faʻē.”
He said to his father, “My head! My head!” He said to his servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
20 Pea ʻi heʻene ʻave ia, mo ʻomi ki heʻene faʻē, naʻa ne nofo ki hono funga tui ʻo aʻu ki he hoʻatāmālie, pea pekia.
When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees until noon, and then died.
21 Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ia, ʻo ne fakatokoto ia ki he mohenga ʻoe tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, mo ne tāpuni ʻae matapā kiate ia, pea ʻalu ia kituʻa.
She went up and laid him on the man of God’s bed, and shut the door on him, and went out.
22 Pea naʻa ne ui atu ki hono husepāniti, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou kole, ke ke fekau mai ha taha ʻoe kau talavou, mo ha ʻasi ʻe taha, koeʻuhi ke u lele ai ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, mo toe haʻu.”
She called to her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and come again.”
23 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā te ke ʻalu ai kiate ia he ʻaho ni? ʻOku ʻikai ko e māhina foʻou, pe ko e ʻaho tapu.” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “Fiemālie pe.”
He said, “Why would you want to go to him today? It is not a new moon or a Sabbath.” She said, “It’s all right.”
24 Pea naʻa ne toki ʻai ʻae hekaʻanga ki he ʻasi, mo ne pehē ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, “Fai vave, mo ʻalu atu pe, ʻoua naʻa ke fakatuotuai ʻae ʻalu [ʻae manu, ]ka ʻi heʻeku fekau pe ʻaʻaku.”
Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, “Drive, and go forward! Don’t slow down for me, unless I ask you to.”
25 Ko ia naʻa ne ʻalu mo ne hoko atu ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he moʻunga ko Kameli. Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene mamata kei mamaʻo ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua kiate ia, naʻa ne pehē kia Kehesi ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki, “Vakai, ko ʻena ʻae fefine Sunemi:
So she went, and came to the man of God to Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her afar off, he said to Gehazi his servant, “Behold, there is the Shunammite.
26 Lele leva, pea fakafetaulaki kiate ia, mo ke pehē ki ai, ʻOku ke lelei pe koe? ʻOku lelei pe ʻa ho husepāniti? ʻOku lelei pe mo hoʻo tamasiʻi? pea naʻe tali ʻe ia [ʻo pehē], ʻOku lelei pe.”
Please run now to meet her, and ask her, ‘Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with your child?’” She answered, “It is well.”
27 Pea ʻi heʻene hoko mai ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ki he moʻunga, naʻa ne puke ia ʻi hono vaʻe: ka naʻe fakaofi mai ʻa Kehesi ke ne teketekeʻi atu ia. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, “Tuku ai pe ia; he kuo mamahi ʻa hono loto ʻiate ia: pea kuo fakafufū ia meiate au ʻe Sihova ʻo ne taʻefakahā ia kiate au.”
When she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for her soul is troubled within her; and Yahweh has hidden it from me, and has not told me.”
28 Pea toki pehē ʻe he fefine, “He naʻaku holi ki ha tama mei hoku ʻeiki? ʻIkai naʻaku pehē, Ke ʻoua naʻa kākaaʻi au?”
Then she said, “Did I ask you for a son, my lord? Didn’t I say, ‘Do not deceive me’?”
29 Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe ia kia Kehesi, “ʻAi ho noʻotangavala, pea toʻo ʻa hoku tokotoko ʻi ho nima, pea ʻalu ʻi ho hala; kapau te mo fetaulaki mo ha tangata, ʻoua naʻa fetapa mo ia; pea kapau ʻe fetapa mai ha tokotaha kiate koe, ʻoua naʻa ke toe leaange ki ai: pea ke ʻai ʻa hoku tokotoko ki he mata ʻoe tamasiʻi.”
Then he said to Gehazi, “Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand, and go your way. If you meet any man, don’t greet him; and if anyone greets you, don’t answer him again. Then lay my staff on the child’s face.”
30 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he faʻē ʻae tamasiʻi, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea ʻi he moʻui mo ho laumālie, ʻe ʻikai te u liʻaki koe.” Pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake ʻo muimui ʻiate ia.
The child’s mother said, “As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” So he arose, and followed her.
31 Pea naʻe muʻomuʻa atu ʻa Kehesi ʻi hona ʻao, mo ne hilifaki ʻae tokotoko ki he mata ʻoe tamasiʻi; ka naʻe ʻikai ke lea, pe ongoʻi. Ko ia naʻa ne toe ʻalu ke fetaulaki kiate ia, mo ne fakahā ki ai, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ke fakaʻā ʻae tamasiʻi.”
Gehazi went ahead of them, and laid the staff on the child’s face; but there was no voice and no hearing. Therefore he returned to meet him, and told him, “The child has not awakened.”
32 Pea ʻi heʻene hoko mai ʻa ʻIlaisa ki he fale, vakai, naʻe mate ʻae tamasiʻi, pea naʻe fakatokoto ʻi hono mohenga.
When Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and lying on his bed.
33 Ko ia naʻa ne hū ai ki loto [fale], mo ne tāpuni ʻae matapā ke na toko ua pe, pea naʻa ne lotu kia Sihova.
He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both, and prayed to Yahweh.
34 Pea naʻa ne ʻalu hake, mo ne tokoto hifo ki he tamasiʻi, ʻo ne ʻai ʻa hono ngutu ʻoʻona ki hono ngutu, mo hono mata ki hono mata, mo hono nima ki hono nima; pea naʻa ne fakatokoto ia ki he tamasiʻi; pea naʻe fakaʻaʻau ke mafana ʻae sino ʻoe tamasiʻi.
He went up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. He stretched himself on him; and the child’s flesh grew warm.
35 Pea naʻa ne toe haʻu, mo ne ʻeveʻeva feʻaluʻaki pe ʻi he fale; pea ne ʻalu hake, mo ne fakatokoto ia kiate ia: pea naʻe mafatua ʻae tamasiʻi ʻo liunga fitu, pea naʻe fakaava ʻe he tamasiʻi ʻa hono mata.
Then he returned, and walked in the house once back and forth, then went up and stretched himself out on him. Then the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
36 Pea naʻa ne ui kia Kehesi, ʻo ne pehē, “Ui mai ʻa e [fefine ]Sunemi.” Pea naʻa ne ui ki ai. Pea ʻi heʻene hū mai kiate ia, naʻa ne pehē ʻe ia, “Toʻo hake ʻa hoʻo tama.”
He called Gehazi, and said, “Call this Shunammite!” So he called her. When she had come in to him, he said, “Take up your son.”
37 Pea naʻa ne toki hū ange, mo tō hifo ki hono vaʻe, mo ne punou hifo ki he kelekele, mo ne toʻo hake ʻa ʻene tama, ʻo ʻalu atu kituʻa.
Then she went in, fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; then she picked up her son, and went out.
38 Pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻa ʻIlaisa ki Kilikali: pea naʻe ai ʻae honge ʻi he fonua; pea naʻe nofo ʻi hono ʻao ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita: pea naʻa ne pehē ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, Fokotuʻu ʻae kulo lahi, pea haka ha meʻakai maʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita.
Elisha came again to Gilgal. There was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said to his servant, “Get the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.”
39 Pea naʻe ʻalu ha tokotaha ki he ngoue ke tānaki ʻae louʻakau, pea naʻa ne ʻilo ai ʻae vaine tupu vao, pea naʻa ne tānaki mei ai ʻae ngaahi fua ke pito ai hono kofu, pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻo hifi ia ki he kulo ʻoe haka lū: he naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo hono anga.
One went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered a lap full of wild gourds from it, and came and cut them up into the pot of stew; for they didn’t recognize them.
40 Ko ia naʻa nau lilingi atu koeʻuhi ke kai ʻe he kau tangata. Pea ʻiloange, lolotonga ʻenau kai ʻae lū, naʻa nau ui atu, ʻo pehē, “ʻE tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku ʻi he kulo ʻae mate.” Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa kai mei ai.
So they poured out for the men to eat. As they were eating some of the stew, they cried out and said, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!” And they could not eat it.
41 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOmi ha mahoaʻa.” Pea naʻa ne ʻai ia ki he kulo; pea naʻa ne pehē, “Lilingi atu maʻae kakai, koeʻuhi ke nau kai.” Pea tā naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa kovi ʻi he kulo.
But he said, “Then bring meal.” He threw it into the pot; and he said, “Serve it to the people, that they may eat.” And there was nothing harmful in the pot.
42 Pea naʻe haʻu ha tangata mei Pealisalisa, ʻo ne ʻomi ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ʻae mā ʻoe ʻuluaki fua, ko e foʻi mā paʻale ʻe uofulu, mo e ngaahi fuhinga koane mo hono kafukafu. Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻAtu ia ki he kakai ke nau kai ia.”
A man from Baal Shalishah came, and brought the man of God some bread of the first fruits: twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. Elisha said, “Give to the people, that they may eat.”
43 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe heʻene tamaioʻeiki, “Ko e hā, te u ʻai atu eni koā ʻi he ʻao ʻo ha kau tangata ʻe toko teau?” Pea naʻe toe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻAtu ki he kakai, ke nau kai ai: he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Te nau kai ai pea ʻe toe pe.”
His servant said, “What, should I set this before a hundred men?” But he said, “Give it to the people, that they may eat; for Yahweh says, ‘They will eat, and will have some left over.’”
44 Pea pehē, naʻa ne tuku ia ki honau ʻao, pea naʻa nau kai, pea naʻe toe pe, ʻo fakatatau ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.
So he set it before them and they ate and had some left over, according to Yahweh’s word.
