1 Now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had given back to life, Go now, with all the people of your house, and get a living-place for yourselves wherever you are able; for by the word of the Lord, there will be great need of food in the land; and this will go on for seven years.
2 So the woman got up and did as the man of God said; and she and the people of her house were living in the land of the Philistines for seven years.
3 And when the seven years were ended, the woman came back from the land of the Philistines and went to the king with a request for her house and her land.
4 Now the king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, Now, give me an account of all the great things Elisha has done.
5 And while he was giving the king the story of how Elisha had given life to the dead, the woman whose son had come back to life came to the king with a request for her house and her land. And Gehazi said, My lord king, this is the woman and this is her son, whose life Elisha gave back to him.
6 And in answer to the king's questions, the woman gave him all the story. So the king gave orders to one of his unsexed servants, saying, Give her back all her property, and all the produce of her fields from the day when she went away from the land up till now.
7 And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad, king of Aram, was ill; and they said to him, The man of God has come.
8 Then the king said to Hazael, Take an offering with you, and go to see the man of God and get directions from the Lord by him, saying, Am I going to get better from my disease?
9 So Hazael went to see him, taking with him forty camels with offerings on their backs of every sort of good thing from Damascus; and when he came before him, he said, Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you, saying, Will I get better from this disease?
10 And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, You will certainly get better; but the Lord has made it clear to me that only death is before him.
11 And he kept his eyes fixed on him till he was shamed, and the man of God was overcome with weeping.
12 And Hazael said, Why is my lord weeping? Then he said in answer, Because I see the evil which you will do to the children of Israel: burning down their strong towns, putting their young men to death with the sword, smashing their little ones against the stones, and cutting open the women who are with child.
13 And Hazael said, How is it possible that your servant, who is only a dog, will do this great thing? And Elisha said, The Lord has made it clear to me that you will be king over Aram.
14 Then he went away from Elisha and came in to his master, who said to him, What did Elisha say to you? And his answer was, He said that you would certainly get well.
15 Now on the day after, Hazael took the bed-cover, and making it wet with water, put it over Ben-hadad's face, causing his death: and Hazael became king in his place.
16 In the fifth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became king.
17 He was thirty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years.
18 He went in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the family of Ahab did: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord.
19 But it was not the Lord's purpose to send destruction on Judah, because of David his servant, to whom he had given his word that he would have a light for ever.
20 In his time, Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah, and took a king for themselves.
21 Then Joram went over to Zair, with all his war-carriages; ... made an attack by night on the Edomites, whose forces were all round him, ... the captains of the war-carriages; and the people went in flight to their tents.
22 So Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah to this day. And at the same time, Libnah made itself free.
23 Now the rest of the acts of Joram, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
24 And Joram went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David: and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.
25 In the twelfth year that Joram, the son of Ahab, was king of Israel, Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, became king;
26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri, king of Israel.
27 He went in the ways of the family of Ahab, and did evil in the eyes of the Lord as the family of Ahab did, for he was a son-in-law of the family of Ahab.
28 He went with Joram, the son of Ahab, to make war on Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead: and Joram was wounded by the Aramaeans.
29 So King Joram went back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which the bowmen had given him at Ramah, when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram. And Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram, the son of Ahab, in Jezreel, because he was ill.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
20 I ona ra ka maunu a Eroma i raro i te ringa o Hura, a whakakingitia ana he kingi mo ratou.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
