1¶ Na i timata a Iehorama tama a Ahapa hei kingi mo Iharaira i Hamaria i te tekau ma waru o nga tau o Iehohapata kingi o Hura, a kotahi tekau ma rua nga tau i kingi ai ia.
1And Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; and he reigned twelve years.
2A i mahi kino ia i te aroaro o Ihowa; otiia kihai i rite ki ta tona papa, ki ta tona whaea: i whakakahoretia hoki e ia te pou o Paara i hanga e tona papa.
2And he wrought evil in the sight of Jehovah, but not like his father, and like his mother; and he took away the column of Baal that his father had made.
3Heoi i piri ia ki nga hara o Ieropoama tama a Nepata i hara ai a Iharaira: kihai era i whakarerea e ia.
3Only, he clave to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat who made Israel to sin: he did not depart therefrom.
4Na he kaitiaki hipi a Meha kingi o Moapa: a, ko tana takoha ki te kingi o Iharaira, ko nga huruhuru o nga reme kotahi rau mano, o nga hipi toa kotahi rau mano.
4And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs and a hundred thousand rams, with the wool.
5I te matenga ia o Ahapa, ka whakakeke te kingi o Moapa ki te kingi o Iharaira.
5And it came to pass when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
6¶ Na haere atu ana a Kingi Iehorama i taua wa i Hamaria, a taua ana e ia a Iharaira katoa.
6And at that time king Jehoram went out of Samaria and inspected all Israel.
7Na haere ana ia, a unga tangata ana ki a Iehohapata kingi o Hura hei ki atu, Kua whakakeke te kingi o Moapa ki ahau: tera ranei koe e haere i ahau ki te whawhai ki a Moapa? Na ka mea tera, Ka haere ahau; he rite tonu ahau ki a koe, toku iwi ki to u iwi, aku hoiho ki au hoiho.
7And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah saying, The king of Moab has rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as thou, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.
8I mea ano ia, Ma tehea ara taua? A ka mea tera, Ma te ara i te koraha o Eroma.
8And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he said, By way of the wilderness of Edom.
9Heoi haere ana te kingi o Iharaira, me te kingi o Hura, me te kingi o Eroma: a i haere taiawhio ratou, e whitu nga ra: na kahore he wai mo te ope, mo nga kararehe ranei e whai ana i a ratou.
9And the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom, and they made a circuit of seven days' journey. And there was no water for the army, and for the cattle that followed them.
10Na ka mea te kingi o Iharaira, Aue, kua karangatia nei e Ihowa enei kingi tokotoru kia hoatu ki te ringa o Moapa!
10And the king of Israel said, Alas! that Jehovah has called these three kings together, to give them into the hand of Moab!
11Na ka mea a Iehohapata, Kahore ianei i konei tetahi poropiti a Ihowa hei uinga ma tatou i ta Ihowa? Na ka whakahoki tetahi o nga tangata a te kingi o Iharaira, ka mea, Kei konei a Eriha tama a Hapata, nana ra i riringi te wai ki nga ringa o Irai a.
11And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah that we may inquire of Jehovah by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.
12Na ka mea a Iehohapata, Kei a ia te kupu a Ihowa. Na haere ana te kingi o Iharaira ratou ko Iehohapata, ko te kingi o Eroma ki a ia.
12And Jehoshaphat said, The word of Jehovah is with him. And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
13Na ka mea a Eriha ki te kingi o Iharaira, He aha taku ki a koe? Haere ki nga poropiti a tou papa, i nga poropiti a tou whaea. A ka mea te kingi o Iharaira ki a ia, Kati ra: kua karangatia hoki enei kingi e toru e Ihowa kia hoatu ki te ringa o Mo apa.
13And Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? go to the prophets of thy father and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said to him, Not so, for Jehovah has called these three kings to give them into the hand of Moab.
14Ano ra ko Eriha, E ora ana a Ihowa o nga mano e tu nei ahau ki tona aroaro, ina, me i kahore toku whakaaro ki te mata o Iehohapata kingi o Hura, e kore ahau e titiro ki a koe, e kore ano e kite i a koe.
14And Elisha said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee nor see thee.
15Otira tikina atu ki ahau aianei tetahi kaiwhakatangi hapa. A, i te whakatangihanga a te kaiwhakatangi, na kua tae mai ki a ia te ringa o Ihowa.
15And now fetch me a minstrel. And it came to pass when the minstrel played, that the hand of Jehovah was upon him.
16Na ka mea ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Meinga tenei raorao kia kapi i te waikeri.
16And he said, Thus saith Jehovah: Make this valley full of ditches.
17Ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, E kore koutou e kite i te hau, e kore e kite i te ua, otira ka ki tenei raorao i te wai; a ka inu koutou, a koutou kahui, me a koutou kararehe.
17For thus saith Jehovah: Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet this valley shall be filled with water, and ye shall drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.
18Na he mea iti noa tenei ki ta Ihowa titiro: ka homai ano hoki e ia nga Moapi ki to koutou ringa.
18And this is a light thing in the sight of Jehovah: he will give the Moabites also into your hand.
19A ka patua e koutou nga pa taiepa katoa, me nga pa pai katoa, ka tuaina hoki nga rakau pai katoa, ka tanumia nga poka wai katoa, a ko nga mara pai hoki ka takakinotia ki te kohatu.
19And ye shall smite every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.
20¶ Na i te ata, i te tapaenga o te whakahere totokore, he wai te puta ana i te ara o Eroma, a kapi ana te whenua i te wai.
20And it came to pass in the morning, when the oblation was offered up, that behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
21A, no te rongonga o nga Moapi katoa kua tae ake aua kingi ki te whawhai ki a ratou, ka huihui ratou, nga mea e ahei te whitiki, me te hunga i kaumatua ake, a tu ana i te rohe.
21And all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, and they were called together, all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood by the border.
22A ka maranga wawe ratou i te ata, ka whiti te ra ki runga ki te wai, a ka kite nga Moapi i te wai i te ritenga atu ki a ratou, ura tonu me he toto:
22And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun rose upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side red as blood.
23A ka mea ratou, He toto tenei: koia rawa ano kua tukitukia nga kingi, kua patua ratou e ratou ano: hoatu aianei, e Moapa, ki te muru taonga!
23And they said, This is blood: the kings are entirely destroyed, and have smitten one another; and now, Moab, to the spoil!
24Na, i to ratou taenga ki te puni o Iharaira, ko te whakatikanga o Iharaira, patua iho nga Moapi, a rere ana ratou i to ratou aroaro: na haere tonu ratou ki roto ki te whenua me te patu haere i nga Moapi.
24And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, and they fled before them; and they entered in and smote Moab.
25Na tukitukia ana e ratou nga pa; maka ana e ratou tana kohatu, tana kohatu, ki nga wahi pai katoa a kapi noa; tanumia ana nga puna wai katoa; tuaina ana hoki nga rakau pai katoa; kei Kiriharehete rawa anake ka waiho e ratou o reira kohatu: otiia i taiawhiotia tera e nga kaipiu kohatu, patua iho.
25And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone and filled it, and they stopped every well of water, and felled every good tree, until they left [only] the stones at Kirhareseth; and the slingers went about it, and smote it.
26A, no te kitenga o te kingi o Moapa, kua pakeke rawa te whawhai mana, ka mau ia ki etahi tangata e whitu rau, he hunga unu hoari, hei hoa mona, hei wahi atu ki te kingi o Eroma. Otiia kihai i taea.
26And the king of Moab saw that the battle was too severe for him, and he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through to the king of Edom, but they could not.
27Katahi ia ka mau ki tana matamua, ko ia nei hei kingi i muri i a ia, a tapaea ana hei whakahere ki runga ki te taiepa. A nui atu te morikarika ki a Iharaira: na ka mahue ia i a ratou, a hoki ana ki to ratou whenua.
27And he took his eldest son, that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him up for a burnt-offering upon the wall. And there was great wrath against Israel; and they departed from him, and returned to [their own] land.
