2 Reis 8

Ka Hoki te Wahine Huneme

1 Nā, kua kōrero a Eriha ki te wahine nāna nei te tamaiti i whakaorangia e ia, kua mea, "Whakatika, haere koutou ko tōu whare, ā, e noho ki tāu wāhi e noho ai koe; kua karangatia hoki e Ihowā he matekai; ā, ka pā hoki ki te whenua, e whitu tau." 2 Nā, ka whakatika taua wahine, ka mea i tā te tangata a te Atua i kī ai; ā, haere ana rātou ko tōna whare, noho ana ki te whenua o ngā Pirihitini, e whitu ngā tau.

3 Nā, i te takanga o ngā tau e whitu, ka hoki atu taua wahine i te whenua o ngā Pirihitini; ā, haere ana ia ki te karanga ki te kīngi mō tōna whare, mō tāna māra.

4 Nā, ko te kīngi i te kōrero ki a Kehati, tangata a te tangata a te Atua; i mea hoki ia, "Tēnā, kōrerotia mai ki ahau ngā mahi nunui katoa i mea ai a Eriha." 5 Ā, i a ia e kōrero ana ki te kīngi i tāna whakaoranga i te tūpāpaku, nā, ko te wahine nāna nei te tamaiti i whakaorangia e ia i te mate, e karanga ana ki te kīngi mō tōna whare, mō tāna māra.

Nā, ka mea a Kehati, "E tōku ariki, e te kīngi, koia tēnei te wahine, ā, ko tāna tama tēnei i whakaorangia rā e Eriha."

6 Ā, i te uinga a te kīngi ki te wahine rā, ka kōrerotia e ia ki a ia.

Heoi, ka tukua e te kīngi ki a ia tētahi o ngā rangatira, ka mea, "Whakahokia āna mea katoa, me ngā hua katoa o te māra mai o te rā i mahue ai i a ia te whenua ā mohoa noa nei."

Ko Eriha me Kīngi Pēneharara o Hīria

7 Ā, i haere a Eriha ki Ramahiku; ā, e mate ana a Pēneharara kīngi o Hīria; nā, ka whakaaturia ki a ia, ka kōrerotia, "Kua tae mai te tangata a te Atua ki konei." 8 Nā, ka mea atu te kīngi ki a Hataere, "Maua atu tētahi hākari i tōu ringa, ka haere ki te whakatau i te tangata a te Atua, ka ui ki tā Ihowā ki a ia, ka mea, ‘E ora rānei ahau i tēnei mate?’ "

9 Nā, haere ana a Hataere ki te whakatau i a ia, me te mau anō he hākari i tōna ringa, i ētahi o ngā mea papai katoa o Ramahiku, he kawenga nā ngā kāmera e whā tekau, ā, ka tae. Ka tū i tōna aroaro, ka mea, "Nā tāu tama, nā Pēneharara kīngi o Hīria ahau i unga mai ki a koe, hei mea, ‘E ora rānei ahau i tēnei mate?’ "

10 Anō rā ko Eriha ki a ia, "Haere, mea atu ki a ia, ‘E ora anō koe’; otiia kua oti i a Ihowā te whakakite mai ki ahau, tērā ia e mate." 11 Nā, ka whakatau ia i tōna mata ki runga ki a ia, ū tonu, ā, whakamā noa ia; ko te tino tangihanga o te tangata a te Atua.

12 Nā, ka mea a Hataere, "Nā te aha tōku ariki i tangi ai?"

Anō rā ko ia, "Nō te mea e mōhio ana ahau ki te kino e meatia e koe ki ngā tama a Īharaira; ko ō rātou pā e tahuna e koe ki te ahi, ko ā rātou taitamariki e patua e koe ki te hoari, ko ā rātou kōhungahunga e tāia iho e koe, ā, ko ā rātou wāhine hapū ka ripiripia e koe."

13 Anō rā ko Hataere, "Ha! He aha tāu pononga, he kurī noa nei, kia meatia e ia tēnei mea nui?"

Anō rā ko Eriha, "Kua whakakitea mai e Ihowā ki ahau, ko koe hei kīngi mō Hīria."

14 Heoi, mawehe atu ana ia i a Eriha, ā, ka tae ki tōna ariki; ā, ka mea tērā ki a ia, "I pēhea mai te kupu a Eriha ki a koe?" Anō rā ko ia, "E kī ana ia, tērā koe e ora." 15 Nā, i te aonga ake, ka mau ia ki te kākahu mātotoru, ā, tukua ana ki te wai, ā, uhia ana ki tōna mata, nā, kua mate. Ā, ko Hataere te kīngi i muri i a ia.

Ko Kīngi Iehorama o Hūrā

16 I te rima o ngā tau o Iorama tama a Āhapa kīngi o Īharaira, i a Iehohāpata e kīngi ana ki a Hūrā, ka kīngi a Iehorama tama a Iehohāpata kīngi o Hūrā. 17 E toru tekau mā rua ōna tau i a ia ka kīngi nei, ā, e waru ngā tau i kīngi ai ia i Hiruhārama. 18 Nā, haere ana ia i te ara o ngā kīngi o Īharaira, pērā tonu me ngā mahi a te whare o Āhapa; i a ia hoki te tamāhine a Āhapa hei wahine; ā, i mahia e ia te mea kino ki tā Ihowā titiro. 19 Otiia kīhai a Ihowā i pai ki te whakangaro i a Hūrā, i whakaaro hoki ki tāna pononga, ki a Rāwiri, i kōrero hoki ia ki a ia, ka hoatu e ia ki a ia he rama mā āna tamariki mō ngā rā katoa.

20 I ōna rā ka maunu a Ēroma i raro i te ringa o Hūrā, ā, whakakīngitia ana he kīngi mō rātou. 21 Kātahi ka haere a Iorama ki Tairi, me ana hāriata katoa i a ia; ā, whakatika ana ia i te pō, ā, patua iho e ia ngā Ēromi i karapotia ai ia, rātou ko ngā rangatira o ngā hāriata; ā, rere ana te iwi ki ō rātou tēneti. 22 Heoi, i maunu a Ēroma i raro i te ringa o Hūrā ā tae noa ki tēnei rā. Kātahi ka maunu anō hoki a Rīpina i taua wā.

23 Nā, ko ērā atu meatanga a Iorama, me āna mahi katoa, kāhore ianei i tuhituhia ki te Pukapuka o ngā meatanga o Ngā Rā o Ngā Kīngi o Hūrā? 24 Nā, kua moe a Iorama ki ōna mātua, ā, tanumia iho ki ōna mātua ki te pā o Rāwiri; ā, ko Ahatia, ko tāna tama te kīngi i muri i a ia.

Ko Kīngi Ahatia o Hūrā

25 Nā, i te tekau mā rua o ngā tau o Iorama tama a Āhapa kīngi o Īharaira, ka kīngi a Ahatia tama a Iehorama kīngi o Hūrā. 26 E rua tekau mā rua ngā tau o Ahatia i a ia ka kīngi nei; ā, kotahi ōna tau i kīngi ai i Hiruhārama. Ā, ko te ingoa o tōna whaea ko Atāria tamāhine a Omori kīngi o Īharaira. 27 Nā, haere ana ia i te ara o te whare o Āhapa, ā, mahia ana e ia te kino ki te titiro a Ihowā, pērā tonu me tā te whare o Āhapa; ko ia hoki te hunaonga o te whare o Āhapa.

28 Nā, haere ana ia me Iorama tama a Āhapa ki te whawhai ki a Hataere kīngi o Hīria ki Rāmoto Kireara; nā, tū ana a Iorama i ngā Hīriani. 29 Nā, hoki ana a Kīngi Iorama ki Ietereere kia rongoātia ngā tūnga i tū ai ia i ngā Hīriani ki Rama, i tāna whawhai ki a Hataere kīngi o Hīria.

Ā, haere ana a Ahatia tama a Iehorama kīngi o Hūrā ki raro kia kite i a Iorama tama a Āhapa ki Ietereere, nō te mea e mate ana ia.

1 Now Elisha had spoken unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thy household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for Jehovah hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years. 2 And the woman arose, and did according to the word of the man of God; and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years. 3 And it came to pass at the seven years’ end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land. 4 Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done. 5 And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored to life him that was dead, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life. 6 And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.

7 And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come hither. 8 And the king said unto Hazael, Take a present in thy hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of Jehovah by him, saying, Shall I recover of this sickness? 9 So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Ben-hadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this sickness? 10 And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou shalt surely recover; howbeit Jehovah hath showed me that he shall surely die. 11 And he settled his countenance stedfastly upon him, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept. 12 And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strongholds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash in pieces their little ones, and rip up their women with child. 13 And Hazael said, But what is thy servant, who is but a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, Jehovah hath showed me that thou shalt be king over Syria. 14 Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master; who said to him, What said Elisha to thee? And he answered, He told me that thou wouldest surely recover. 15 And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took the coverlet, and dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died: and Hazael reigned in his stead.

16 And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign. 17 Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 18 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife; and he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah. 19 Howbeit Jehovah would not destroy Judah, for David his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give unto him a lamp for his children alway.

20 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves. 21 Then Joram passed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites that compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents. 22 So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then did Libnah revolt at the same time. 23 And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 24 And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.

25 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel did Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign. 26 Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri king of Israel. 27 And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, as did the house of Ahab; for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab. 28 And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth-gilead: and the Syrians wounded Joram. 29 And king Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
