2 Tuʻi 6
1 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.
Wana wa manabii wakamwambia Elisha, “Tazama, mahali hapa tunapokutana nawe ni padogo sana kwetu.
2 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.”
Twendeni Yordani, mahali ambapo kila mmoja wetu anaweza kupata nguzo moja, nasi tujenge huko mahali petu pa kuishi.” Naye akawaambia, “Nendeni.”
3 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.”
Kisha mmoja wao akasema, “Je, tafadhali, huwezi kufuatana na watumishi wako?” Elisha akajibu, “Nitakuja.”
4 Ko ia naʻa ne ʻalu ai mo kinautolu. Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko atu ki Sioatani, naʻa nau fai ʻae taʻanga.
Naye akaenda pamoja nao. Basi wakaenda Yordani, nao wakaanza kukata miti.
5 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.”
Mmoja wao alipokuwa anakata mti, shoka lilitumbukia kwenye maji. Akalia, “Ee bwana wangu, shoka lilikuwa la kuazima!”
6 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.
Mtu wa Mungu akauliza, “Je, liliangukia wapi?” Alipomwonyesha mahali penyewe, Elisha akakata kijiti na kukitupa mahali pale, nalo shoka likaelea.
7 Ko ia naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Toʻo hake ia kiate koe.” Pea naʻa ne mafao atu hono nima, mo ne toʻo ia.
Akasema, “Lichukue.” Kisha yule mtu akanyoosha mkono wake, akalichukua.
8 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.
Wakati huo mfalme wa Aramu alikuwa akipigana vita na Israeli. Baada ya kukubaliana na maafisa wake, akasema, “Nitapiga kambi yangu mahali fulani na fulani.”
9 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.
Mtu wa Mungu akatuma ujumbe kwa mfalme wa Israeli: “Jihadhari usije ukapita mahali pale, kwa sababu Waaramu wanashuka huko.”
10 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.
Kwa hiyo mfalme wa Israeli akatuma neno la tahadhari mahali pale alikokuwa ameelekezwa na mtu wa Mungu. Mara kwa mara Elisha alimwonya mfalme kwamba watu wawe macho kwenye maeneo kama hayo.
11 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?”
Hili lilimfadhaisha sana mfalme wa Aramu. Akawaita maafisa wake, akawauliza, “Je, hamtaniambia ni nani miongoni mwenu aliye upande wa mfalme wa Israeli?”
12 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.”
Mmoja wa maafisa wake akasema, “Mfalme bwana wangu, hakuna hata mmoja wetu. Lakini Elisha, yule nabii aliye Israeli, humwambia mfalme wa Israeli hata yale maneno unayozungumza katika chumba chako cha kulala.”
13 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.”
Mfalme akaagiza akisema, “Nendeni, mkatafute aliko, ili niweze kutuma watu kumkamata.” Taarifa ikarudi kwamba, “Yuko Dothani.”
14 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.
Ndipo akatuma farasi na magari ya vita na jeshi lenye nguvu huko. Walikwenda usiku na kuuzunguka mji.
15 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?”
Kesho yake asubuhi na mapema, mtumishi wa mtu wa Mungu alipoamka na kutoka nje, jeshi, pamoja na farasi na magari ya vita, likawa limeuzunguka mji. Mtumishi wake akasema, “Ole wetu, bwana wangu! Tutafanya nini?”
16 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.”
Nabii akajibu, “Usiogope. Wale walio pamoja nasi ni wengi zaidi kuliko wale walio pamoja nao.”
17 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.
Kisha Elisha akaomba, “Ee Bwana, mfumbue macho huyu mtumishi ili apate kuona.” Ndipo Bwana akayafumbua macho ya yule mtumishi, naye akatazama na kuona vilima vimejaa farasi na magari ya moto, yamemzunguka Elisha pande zote.
18 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.
Wakati adui waliposhuka kumwelekea, Elisha akamwomba Bwana: “Wapige watu hawa kwa upofu.” Basi Mungu akawapiga kwa upofu, kama Elisha alivyoomba.
19 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.
Elisha akawaambia, “Hii sio njia yenyewe, na huu sio huo mji. Nifuateni mimi, nami nitawapeleka kwa huyo mtu mnayemtafuta.” Naye akawapeleka Samaria.
20 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.
Baada ya kuingia mjini, Elisha akasema, “Bwana, yafungue macho ya watu hawa ili wapate kuona.” Ndipo Bwana akayafungua macho yao, na walipotazama, kumbe hapo ndipo walipojikuta, ndani ya Samaria.
21 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?”
Wakati mfalme wa Israeli alipowaona, akamuuliza Elisha, “Je, baba yangu, niwaue?”
22 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.”
Naye akajibu, “Usiwaue. Je, utawaua watu uliowateka kwa upanga wako mwenyewe na upinde wako? Wape chakula na maji ili wapate kula na kunywa, na kisha wamrudie bwana wao.”
23 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.
Basi akawaandalia karamu kubwa, na baada ya kula na kunywa, akawaaga nao wakarudi kwa bwana wao. Hivyo, vikosi kutoka Aramu vikakoma kuvamia nchi ya Israeli.
24 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.
Baada ya kitambo kidogo, Ben-Hadadi mfalme wa Aramu akaandaa jeshi lake lote akapanda kwenda kuihusuru Samaria.
25 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.
Kukawa na njaa kuu katika mji. Samaria ilizingirwa kwa muda mrefu, kiasi kwamba kichwa cha punda kiliuzwa kwa shekeli themanini za fedha, na robo ya kibaba cha mavi ya njiwa kiliuzwa kwa shekeli tano za fedha.
26 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.”
Wakati mfalme wa Israeli alipokuwa anapita juu ya ukuta, mwanamke mmoja akamlilia, “Bwana wangu mfalme, nisaidie!”
27 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?”
Mfalme akajibu, “Ikiwa Bwana hakusaidii, nitakutolea wapi msaada? Je, ni kutoka kwenye sakafu ya kupuria? Au kwenye shinikizo la divai?”
28 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.’
Kisha akamuuliza, “Kwani kuna nini?” Yule mwanamke akamjibu, “Huyu mwanamke aliniambia, ‘Mtoe mwanao ili tupate kumla leo, na kesho tutamla mwanangu.’
29 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.”
Basi tukampika mwanangu na kumla. Siku iliyofuata nikamwambia, ‘Mtoe mwanao ili tupate kumla.’ Lakini akawa amemficha.”
30 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.
Wakati mfalme aliposikia maneno ya yule mwanamke, alirarua mavazi yake. Naye alipoendelea kutembea ukutani, watu wakamtazama, na ndani ya mavazi yake alikuwa amevaa nguo ya gunia mwilini mwake.
31 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.”
Akasema, “Mungu na anitendee hivyo na kuzidi, ikiwa kichwa cha Elisha mwana wa Shafati kitabaki juu ya mabega yake leo!”
32 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?”
Wakati huu, Elisha alikuwa ameketi ndani ya nyumba yake, akiwa pamoja na wazee. Mfalme akatuma mjumbe kumtangulia, lakini kabla hajafika, Elisha akawaambia wale wazee, “Hammwoni huyu muuaji jinsi anavyotuma mtu kukata kichwa changu? Tazama, wakati mjumbe huyo atakapofika, fungeni mlango na mzuieni asiingie. Je, vishindo vya nyayo za bwana wake haviko nyuma yake?”
33 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?”
Alipokuwa angali bado anazungumza nao, mjumbe akamfikia. Naye mfalme akasema, “Maafa haya yanatoka kwa Bwana. Kwa nini niendelee kumngoja Bwana zaidi?”
