2 Tuʻi 2
1Now when the LORD was about to take Elijah up to heaven by a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal.
1PEA naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he te u ʻe Sihova ke toʻo hake ʻa ʻIlaisiā ki loto langi ʻi he ʻahiohio, naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻIlaisiā mo ʻIlaisa mei Kilikali.
2And Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me as far as Bethel.” But Elisha said, “As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.
2Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā kia ʻIlaisa, “ʻOku ou kole ke ke tatali koe ʻi heni; he kuo fekauʻi au ʻe Sihova ki Peteli.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku moʻui ho laumālie, pea ʻe ʻikai te u mahuʻi meiate koe.” Pea ko ia naʻa na ʻalu hifo ai ki Peteli.
3And the sons of the prophets who were in Bethel came out to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that today the LORD will take away your master from over you?” And he said, “Yes, I know it; keep quiet.”
3Pea naʻe hū mai kia ʻIlaisa ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita ʻaia naʻe ʻi Peteli, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻe ʻave ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo ʻeiki mei ho ʻulu he ʻaho ni?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻIo, ʻoku ou ʻilo; ka mou longo pe kimoutolu.”
4Elijah said to him, “Elisha, please stay here, for the LORD has sent me to Jericho.” But he said, “As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they came to Jericho.
4Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā kiate ia, ʻIlaisa, “ʻOku ou kole ke ke tatali ʻi heni; he kuo fekauʻi au ʻe Sihova ki Seliko.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku moʻui ho laumālie, pea ʻe ʻikai te u mahuʻi meiate koe.” Ko ia naʻa na hoko ai ki Seliko.
5The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho drew near to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that today the LORD will take away your master from over you?” And he answered, “Yes, I know it; keep quiet.”
5Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita ʻaia naʻe ʻi Seliko kia ʻIlaisa, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻe ʻave ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo ʻeiki mei ho ʻulu he ʻaho ni?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻIo, ʻoku ou ʻilo; ka mou longo pe kimoutolu.”
6Then Elijah said to him, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan.” But he said, “As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on.
6Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā kiate ia, “ʻOku ou kole ke ke tatali koe ʻi heni; he kuo fekauʻi au ʻe Sihova ki Sioatani.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku moʻui ho laumālie, pea ʻe ʻikai te u mahuʻi meiate koe.” Pea naʻe ʻalu atu pe ʻakinaua ni.
7Fifty men of the sons of the prophets also went and stood at some distance from them, as they both were standing by the Jordan.
7Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nimangofulu ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita, ʻonau tutuʻu ke sio mei he mamaʻo: pea naʻe tutuʻu ʻakinaua ʻo feʻunga atu mo Sioatani.
8Then Elijah took his cloak and rolled it up and struck the water, and the water was parted to the one side and to the other, till the two of them could go over on dry ground.
8Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe ʻIlaisiā ʻa hono pulupulu, mo ne takai fakataha ia, mo ne tā ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi vai, pea naʻe vaheua ia, pea ko ia naʻa na ʻalu atu ai ʻi he kelekele mōmoa.
9When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you.” And Elisha said, “Please let there be a double portion of your spirit on me.”
9Pea hili ʻena ʻalu ki he kauvai ʻe taha naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā kia ʻIlaisa, “Ke ke tala mai pe ko e hā ha meʻa te u fai maʻau ʻi he teʻeki ʻave au meiate koe.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke ʻiate au ha vāhenga ʻe ua ʻo ho ʻulungāanga ʻoʻou.”
10And he said, “You have asked a hard thing; yet, if you see me as I am being taken from you, it shall be so for you, but if you do not see me, it shall not be so.”
10Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku faingataʻa ʻae meʻa kuo ke kole ki ai: Ka koeʻuhi, kapau te ke mamata ki he ʻave au meiate koe, ʻe hoko ʻo pehē kiate koe pea kapau ʻe ʻikai, pea ʻe ʻikai hoko ia.”
11And as they still went on and talked, behold, chariots of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
11Pea vakai, lolotonga ʻa ʻena kei ʻalu atu, mo talanoa, naʻe hā mai ha saliote afi, mo e fanga hoosi ʻoe afi, pea naʻe māvae ai ʻakinaua; pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa ʻIlaisiā ʻi he ʻahiohio ki he langi.
12And Elisha saw it and he cried, “My father, my father! The chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” And he saw him no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces.
12Pea naʻe mamata ki ai ʻa ʻIlaisa, pea naʻa ne kalanga, “ʻA ʻeku tamai, ʻa ʻeku tamai, ko e saliote ʻo ʻIsileli, mo e kau heka hoosi ʻo ia.” Pea naʻe ʻikai toe mamata ia kiate ia: pea naʻa ne puke ʻa hono ngaahi kofu ʻoʻona, mo ne haeua ia.
13And he took up the cloak of Elijah that had fallen from him and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.
13Naʻa ne toʻo hake foki ʻae pulupulu ʻo ʻIlaisiā ʻaia naʻe tō hifo meiate ia, pea ne foki ki mui, mo ne tuʻu ki he kauvai ʻo Sioatani:
14Then he took the cloak of Elijah that had fallen from him and struck the water, saying, “Where is the LORD, the God of Elijah?” And when he had struck the water, the water was parted to the one side and to the other, and Elisha went over.
14Pea naʻa ne toʻo ʻae pulupulu ʻo ʻIlaisiā ʻaia naʻe tō hifo meiate ia, ʻo ne tā ʻaki ʻae ngaahi vai, mo ne pehē, “Ko fē ia ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIlaisiā?” Pea ʻi heʻene tā foki ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi vai, naʻa nau vahe kehekehe, ka ka ʻalu atu ʻa ʻIlaisa ki he kauvai ʻe taha.
15Now when the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho saw him opposite them, they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” And they came to meet him and bowed to the ground before him.
15Pea ʻi he sio kiate ia ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita ʻaia naʻe ʻalu atu mei Seliko ke mamata, naʻa nau pehē, “Kuo hoko ʻae laumālie ʻo ʻIlaisiā kia ʻIlaisa.” Pea naʻa nau omi ke fetaulaki mai kiate ia, mo nau fakatōmapeʻe hifo kinautolu ki he kelekele ʻi hono ʻao.
16And they said to him, “Behold now, there are with your servants fifty strong men. Please let them go and seek your master. It may be that the Spirit of the LORD has caught him up and cast him upon some mountain or into some valley.” And he said, “You shall not send.”
16Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Ko eni, vakai, ʻoku ʻi hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae kau tangata mālohi ʻe toko nimangofulu; ʻoku mau kole, ke ke tuku ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu, ʻo kumi ki hoʻo ʻeiki: telia naʻa kuo toʻo hake ia ʻe he Laumālie ʻo Sihova, mo ne lī hifo ia ki ha tumuʻaki moʻunga, pe ki ha teleʻa.” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻE ʻikai te mou fekau ha niʻihi .”
17But when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, “Send.” They sent therefore fifty men. And for three days they sought him but did not find him.
17Pea ʻi heʻenau kole fakafiu kiate ia, naʻa ne pehē, “Fekau pe.” Ko ia naʻa nau fekau atu ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nimangofulu; pea naʻa nau kumi ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu, ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia.
18And they came back to him while he was staying at Jericho, and he said to them, “Did I not say to you, ‘Do not go’?”
18Pea ʻi heʻenau toe hoko mai kiate ia, (he naʻa ne tatali pe ʻi Seliko,) naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻIkai naʻaku tala kiate kimoutolu, Ke ʻoua naʻa mou ʻalu?”
19Now the men of the city said to Elisha, “Behold, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees, but the water is bad, and the land is unfruitful.”
19Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau tangata ʻoe kolo kia ʻIlaisa, “Vakai koe, ʻoku matamatalelei ʻae tuʻuʻanga ʻoe kolo ni, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku sio ki ai ʻa hoku ʻeiki: ka ʻoku kovi ʻa hono vai, pea ʻoku kakā ʻae kelekele.”
20He said, “Bring me a new bowl, and put salt in it.” So they brought it to him.
20Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻOmi kiate au ha ipu kelekele foʻou, pea ʻai ha māsima ki ai.” Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ia kiate ia.
21Then he went to the spring of water and threw salt in it and said, “Thus says the LORD, I have healed this water; from now on neither death nor miscarriage shall come from it.”
21Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia ki he punaʻanga ʻoe ngaahi vai, mo ne lī ki ai ʻae māsima, mo ne pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Kuo u fakamoʻui ʻae ngaahi vai ni; ʻe ʻikai toe hoko mei ai ha mate pe ha taʻefua.’|”
22So the water has been healed to this day, according to the word that Elisha spoke.
22Pea pehē, naʻe fakamoʻui ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni, ʻo fakatatau ki he lea naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ʻIlaisiā.
23He went up from there to Bethel, and while he was going up on the way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!”
23Pea naʻa ne ʻalu hake mei he potu ko ia ki Peteli: pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu hake ʻi he hala, naʻe hū mai mei he kolo ʻae tamaiki iiki, ʻonau manuki kiate ia, mo nau pehē ki ai, “ʻAlu hake, ʻa koe ko e tula; ʻalu hake ʻa koe ko e tula ē.”
24And he turned around, and when he saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. And two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the boys.
24Pea naʻa ne tangaki ki mui, mo ne sio kiate kinautolu, pea ne fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova. Pea naʻe haʻu mei he vao ʻae ongo pea fefine ʻe ua, ʻo na haehae ʻae fānau ʻe toko fāngofulu ma toko ua ʻiate kinautolu.
25From there he went on to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
25Pea naʻa ne ʻalu atu mei he potu ko ia ki he moʻunga ko Kameli, pea naʻa ne foki mai mei ai ki Samēlia.
