¹And Elisha the prophet hath called to one of the sons of the prophets, and saith to him, `Gird up thy loins, and take this vial of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth-Gilead,

¹¶ Na ka karanga a Eriha poropiti ki tetahi o nga tama a nga poropiti, a ka mea ki a ia, Whitikiria tou hope, ka mau i tenei pounamu hinu i tou ringa, ka haere ki Ramoto Kireara.

²and thou hast gone in there, and see thou there Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, and thou hast gone in, and caused him to rise out of the midst of his brethren, and brought him in to the inner part of an inner-chamber,

²E tae koe ki reira, tirohia atu i reira a Iehu tama a Iehohapata tama a Nimihi, ka haere koe, ka mea i a ia kia whakatika i roto i ona tuakana, a ka mau i a ia ki tetahi ruma i roto.

³and taken the vial of oil, and poured on his head, and said, Thus said Jehovah, I have anointed thee for king unto Israel; and thou hast opened the door, and fled, and dost not wait.`

³Katahi ka mau ki te pounamu hinu, ka riringi ki runga ki tona matenga, ka mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ka oti koe te whakawahi e ahau hei kingi mo Iharaira. Ko reira koe uaki ai i te tatu, ka rere, a kaua e whakaroa.

⁴And the young man goeth — the young man the prophet — to Ramoth-Gilead,

⁴Heoi haere ana taua taitama, ara te taitama, te poropiti, ki Ramoto Kireara.

⁵and cometh in, and lo, chiefs of the force are sitting, and he saith, `I have a word unto thee, O chief!` and Jehu saith, `Unto which of all of us?` and he saith, `Unto thee, O chief.`

⁵A, no tona taenga atu, na ko nga rangatira o te ope e noho ana; a ka mea ia, He kupu taku ki a koe, e te rangatira. Ano ra ko Iehu, Ki a wai koia o matou katoa? Ano ra ko tera, Ki a koe, e te rangatira.

⁶And he riseth and cometh in to the house, and he poureth the oil on his head, and saith to him, `Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, I have anointed thee for king unto the people of Jehovah, unto Israel,

⁶Na whakatika ana ia, a haere ana ki roto ki te whare; na ringihia ana e tera te hinu ki tona matenga, a ka mea ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Ka oti koe te whakawahi e ahau hei kingi mo ta Ihowa iwi, mo Iharaira.

⁷and thou hast smitten the house of Ahab thy lord, and I have required the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Jehovah, from the hand of Jezebel;

⁷A mau e patu te whare o Ahapa, o tou ariki, kia whai utu ai ahau mo nga toto o aku pononga, o nga poropiti, mo nga toto hoki o nga pononga katoa a Ihowa, i te ringa o Ietepere.

⁸and perished hath all the house of Ahab, and I have cut off to Ahab those sitting on the wall, and restrained, and left, in Israel,

⁸Ka ngaro hoki te whare katoa o Ahapa: a ka hautopea atu e ahau i a Ahapa nga tamariki tane katoa, me nga mea i tutakina atu, i mahue ranei i roto i a Iharaira.

⁹and I have given up the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and as the house of Baasha son of Ahijah,

⁹A ka meinga e ahau te whare o Ahapa kia rite ki te whare o Ieropoama tama a Nepata, ki te whare hoki o Paaha tama a Ahia.

¹⁰and Jezebel do the dogs eat in the portion of Jezreel, and there is none burying;` and he openeth the door and fleeth.

¹⁰Na ma nga kuri e kai a Ietepere ki te wahi o Ietereere, a kahore he tangata hei tanu i a ia. Na uakina ana e ia te tatau, a rere ana.

¹¹And Jehu hath gone out unto the servants of his lord, and [one] saith to him, `Is there peace? wherefore came this madman unto thee?` and he saith unto them, `Ye have known the man and his talk.`

¹¹¶ Katahi a Iehu ka puta mai ki waho, ki nga pononga a tona ariki; a ka mea tetahi ki a ia, Kei te pai ranei? he aha tenei poauau i haere mai ai ki a koe? Ano ra ko ia ki a ratou, E mohio ana koutou ki te tangata ra, ki ana korero hoki.

¹²And they say, `False, declare, we pray thee, to us;` and he saith, `Thus and thus spake he unto me, saying, Thus said Jehovah, I have anointed thee for king unto Israel.`

¹²Ano ra ko ratou, He teka: korerotia mai ki a matou inaianei. Na ka mea ia, Koia ano tenei ana korero ki ahau, Ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei, Ka oti koe te whakawahi e ahau hei kingi mo Iharaira.

¹³And they haste and take each his garment, and put [it] under him at the top of the stairs, and blow with a trumpet, and say, `Reigned hath Jehu!`

¹³Na hohoro tonu ratou, ka mau ki tona kakahu, ki tona kakahu, wharikitia iho ki raro i a ia, i runga i te arawhata, a whakatangihia ana te tetere, me te ki ano, Ko Iehu te kingi.

¹⁴And Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, conspireth against Joram — (and Joram was keeping in Ramoth-Gilead, he and all Israel, from the presence of Hazael king of Aram,

¹⁴Heoi whakatupuria ana e Iehu tama a Iehohapata tama a Nimihi he he mo Iorama. Na i puritia e Iorama, e ratou ko Iharaira katoa, a Ramoto Kireara, he whakaaro ki a Hataere kingi o Hiria:

¹⁵and king Joram turneth back to be healed in Jezreel, of the wounds with which the Aramaeans smite him, in his fighting with Hazael king of Aram) — and Jehu saith, `If it is your mind, let not an escaped one go out from the city, to go to declare [it] in Jezreel.`

¹⁵Ko Kingi Iehorama ia kua hoki ki Ietereere kia rongoatia ona tunga i tu ai ia i nga Hiriani i tana whawhai ki a Hataere kingi o Hiria. Na ka mea a Iehu, Mehemea ko to koutou whakaaro tenei, na kei tukua tetahi ki waho, kei puta atu i te pa, ka h aere ka korero ki Ietereere.

¹⁶And Jehu rideth, and goeth to Jezreel, for Joram is lying there, and Ahaziah king of Judah hath gone down to see Joram.

¹⁶¶ Heoi eke ana a Iehu ki te hariata, a haere ana ki Ietereere; i reira hoki a Iorama e takoto ana. A ko Ahatia kingi o Hura kua riro ki raro, kia kite i a Iorama.

¹⁷And the watchman is standing on the tower in Jezreel, and seeth the company of Jehu in his coming, and saith, `A company I see;` and Joram saith, `Take a rider and send to meet them, and let him say, Is there peace?`

¹⁷Na ko te kaitutei i runga i te pourewa i Ietereere e tu ana, a ka kitea e ia te ropu a Iehu i a ia e haere mai ana, na ka mea, Kei te kite atu ahau i te ope tangata. Na ka mea a Iehorama, Tikina he tangata eke hoiho, ka unga ki te whakatutaki i a ratou, a mana e mea atu, He pai ranei?

¹⁸and the rider on the horse goeth to meet him, and saith, `Thus said the king, Is there peace?` and Jehu saith, `What — to thee and to peace? turn round behind me.` And the watchman declareth, saying, `The messenger came unto them, and he hath not returned.`

¹⁸Heoi haere ana tetahi i runga i te hoiho ki te whakatau i a ia a ka mea, Ko te kupu tenei a te kingi, He pai ranei? Ano ra ko Iehu, Hei aha mau te pai? haere ake ki muri i ahau. A ka korero te kaitutei, ka mea, I tae te karere ki a ratou, otiia kahore ano kia hoki mai.

¹⁹And he sendeth a second rider on a horse, and he cometh in unto them, and saith, `Thus said the king, Is there peace?` and Jehu saith, `What — to thee and to peace? turn round behind me.`

¹⁹Katahi ka unga ano e ia tetahi atu kaieke hoiho, a ka tae tera ki a ratou, ka mea, Ko te kupu tenei a te kingi, He pai ranei? Ano ra ko Iehu, Hei aha mau te pai? hui ake koe ki muri i ahau.

²⁰And the watchman declareth, saying, `He came unto them, and he hath not returned, and the driving [is] like the driving of Jehu son of Nimshi, for with madness he driveth.`

²⁰Na ka korero te kaitutei, ka mea, I tae ia ki a ratou, ehoi kahore ano kia hoki mai: a ko te whui o te hariata, rite tonu ki te whiu a te hariata, rite tonu ki te whiu a Iehu tama a Nimihi; he porangi rawa hoki tana whiu.

²¹And Jehoram saith, `Harness;` and his chariot is harnessed, and Jehoram king of Israel goeth out, and Ahaziah king of Judah, each in his chariot, and they go out to meet Jehu, and find him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.

²¹Na ka mea a Iehorama, Whakanohoia. Na whakanohoia ana e ratou tona hariata. A ka puta a Iehorama kingi o Iharaira raua ko Ahatia kingi o Hura i runga i tona hariata, i tona hariata, a haere ana ki te whakatutaki i a Iehu, a tutaki ana ki a ia ki te wahi o Napoto Ietereeri.

²²And it cometh to pass, at Jehoram`s seeing Jehu, that he saith, `Is there peace, Jehu?` and he saith, `What [is] the peace, while the whoredoms of Jezebel thy mother, and her witchcrafts, are many?`

²²Na, i te kitenga o Iehorama i a Iehu, ka mea ia, He pai ranei, e Iehu? Ano ra ko ia, He pai aha, i te hanga e hua tonu ana nga moepuku me nga mahi makutu a tou whaea, a Ietepere?

²³And Jehoram turneth his hands, and fleeth, and saith unto Ahaziah, `Deceit, O Ahaziah!`

²³Na ka huri nga ringa o Iehorama, a rere ana, me te karanga ano ki a Ahatia, He kopeka, e Ahatia!

²⁴And Jehu hath filled his hand with a bow, and smiteth Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow goeth out from his heart, and he boweth down in his chariot.

²⁴Na kumea ana e Iehu tana kopere ki tona kaha katoa, a perea ana a Iehorama ki waenga pu o ona ringa, a puta atu ana te pere i tona ngakau, a hinga iho ana ia i roto i tona hariata.

²⁵And [Jehu] saith unto Bidkar his captain, `Lift up, cast him into the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite — for, remember, I and thou were riding together after Ahab his father, and Jehovah lifted upon him this burden:

²⁵Katahi ka mea a Iehu ki a Pirikara, ki tana rangatira, Hikitia ake, maka atu ia ki te wahi o te mara a Napoto Ietereeri: kia mahara hoki, i to taua haerenga i runga hoiho i muri i a Ahapa, i tona papa, ka whakapikaua e Ihowa tenei pikaunga ki ru nga ki a ia;

²⁶Have I not the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons seen yesternight — the affirmation of Jehovah — yea, I have recompensed to thee in this portion — the affirmation of Jehovah; — and now, lift up, cast him into the portion, according to the word of Jehovah.`

²⁶I kitea putia e ahau inanahi nga toto o Napoto, me nga toto o ana tama, e ai ta Ihowa; a ka utua koe e ahau ki tenei wahi, e ai ta Ihowa. Na reira, tikina, maka ia ki taua wahi whenua, kia rite ki te kupu a Ihowa.

²⁷And Ahaziah king of Judah hath seen, and fleeth the way of the garden-house, and Jehu pursueth after him, and saith, `Smite him — also him — in the chariot,` in the going up to Gur, that [is] Ibleam, and he fleeth to Megiddo, and dieth there,

²⁷Otiia, i te kitenga o Ahatia kingi o Hura i tenei, rere ana ia na te ara o te whare kari. Na whaia ana ia e Iehu, a i mea tera, Patua ano hoki ia i runga i te hariata; na patua ana ia e ratou i te pikitanga ki Kuru, ki tera i te taha o Ipereama. Na rere ana ia ki Mekiro, a mate iho ki reira.

²⁸and his servants carry him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and bury him in his burying-place, with his fathers, in the city of David.

²⁸Na kawea ana ia e ana tangata i runga i te hariata ki Hiruharama, a tanumia ana ki tona urupa, ki ona matua i te pa o Rawiri.

²⁹And in the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab reign did Ahaziah over Judah.

²⁹No te tekau ma tahi o nga tau o Iorama tama a Ahapa i kingi ai a Ahatia ki Hura.

³⁰And Jehu cometh in to Jezreel, and Jezebel hath heard, and putteth her eyes in paint and maketh right her head, and looketh out through the window.

³⁰¶ Na, i te haerenga o Iehu ki Ietereere, ka rongo a Ietepere; na ka pania e ia ona kanohi, a ka tino whakapaipaitia tona mahunga, a ka titiro atu ia i te matapihi.

³¹And Jehu hath come into the gate, and she saith, `Was there peace [to] Zimri — slayer of his lord?`

³¹Na, i a Iehu e tomo mai ana i te kuwaha, ka mea tera, He rongo mau ranei, e koe, e te Timiri, e te kaikohuru i tou ariki?

³²And he lifteth up his face unto the window, and saith, `Who [is] with me? — who?` and look out unto him do two [or] three eunuchs;

³²Na ka maranga ake tona mata ki te matapihi, ka mea, Ko wai toku? ko wai ra? Na ka titiro iho etahi unaka, tokorua, tokotoru, ki a ia.

³³And he saith, `Let her go;` and they let her go, and [some] of her blood is sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses, and he treadeth her down.

³³Na ka mea ia, Maka iho ia ki raro. Heoi maka iho ana e ratou; a parati ana etahi o ona toto ki te pakitara, a ki runga hoki ki nga hoiho; a takahia ana ia e ia ki raro ki ona waewae.

³⁴And he cometh in, and eateth, and drinketh, and saith, `Look after, I pray you, this cursed one, and bury her, for she [is] a king`s daughter.`

³⁴Na haere ana ia ki roto, kei te kai, kei te inu; a ka mea ia, Tena tirohia te wahine kua kanga nei, a tanumia ia: he tamahine kingi hoki ia.

³⁵And they go to bury her, and have not found of her except the skull, and the feet, and the palms of the hands.

³⁵Na haere ana ratou ki te tanu i a ia; otiia kahore he wahi ona i kitea e ratou, ko te angaanga anake, ko nga waewae, ko nga kapu o ona ringa.

³⁶And they turn back, and declare to him, and he saith, `The word of Jehovah it [is], that He spake by the hand of this servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel do the dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel,

³⁶No reira hoki ana ratou, a ka korero ki a ia. A ka mea ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, i korerotia ra e tana pononga, e Iraia Tihipi, i mea ra ia, Hei te wahi o Ietereere kainga ai e nga kuri nga kikokiko o Ietepere.

³⁷and the carcase of Jezebel hath been as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, that they say not, This [is] Jezebel.`

³⁷A ka waiho te tinana o Ietepere hei para hamiti ki runga ki te mate o te parae i te wahi o Ietereere; a kahore e kiia, Ko Ietepere tenei.
