1 ¶ In the year twenty-three of Joash, the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu, began to reign over Israel in Samaria and reigned seventeen years.

No te rua tekau ma toru o nga tau o Ioaha tama a Ahatia kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Iehoahata tama a Iehu ki a Iharaira ki Hamaria, a tekau ma whitu nga tau i kingi ai.

2 A nd he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD and followed the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin; and he did not depart from them.

A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, i whai hoki ia i nga hara o Ieropoama tama a Nepata i hara ai a Iharaira. Kihai ena i mahue i a ia.

3 A nd the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael, king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad, the son of Hazael, all their days.

Na ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a Iharaira, a hoatu ana ratou e ia ki te ringa o Hataere kingi o Hiria, ki te ringa ano hoki o Penehaara tama a Hataere i o raua ra katoa.

4 B ut Jehoahaz grieved before the LORD, and the LORD hearkened unto him, for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them.

Na ka inoi a Iehoahata ki a Ihowa, a ka whakarongo a Ihowa ki a ia: i kite hoki ia i te tukinotanga o Iharaira, i tukinotia ai ratou e te kingi o Hiria.

5 ( And the LORD gave Israel a saviour so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians, and the sons of Israel dwelt in their tents as beforetime.

Na homai ana e Ihowa he kaiwhakaora ki a Iharaira, a ka puta ake ratou i raro i te ringa o nga Hiriani: a noho ana nga tama a Iharaira ki o ratou teneti, he pera me mua.

6 W ith all this, they did not depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who made Israel sin, but walked in them; and the grove also remained in Samaria.)

Otiia kihai i mahue i a ratou nga hara o te whare o Ieropoama i hara ai a Iharaira, heoi haere ana i reira; tu tonu ano te Ahera i Hamaria.

7 N either did he leave of the people to Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen and ten chariots and ten thousand footmen, for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like dust to be tread upon.

Kahore hoki i waiho e ia o te iwi ki a Iehoahata, ko nga kaieke hoiho anake e rima tekau, tekau nga hariata, kotahi tekau mano nga hoia haere raro; i huna hoki ratou e te kingi o Hiria, a meinga ana kia rite ki te puehu i te patunga witi.

8 N ow the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz and all that he did and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

Na ko era atu meatanga a Iehoahata me ana mahi katoa, me ana mahi toa, kihai ianei ena i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira?

9 A nd Jehoahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria; and Joash, his son, reigned in his stead.

Na ka moe a Iehoahata ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki Hamaria: a ko Ioaha, ko tana tama te kingi i muri i a ia.

10 ¶ In the year thirty-seven of Joash, king of Judah, Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, began to reign over Israel in Samaria and reigned sixteen years.

No te toru tekau ma whitu o nga tau o Ioaha kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Iehoaha tama a Iehoahata ki a Iharaira ki Hamaria, tekau ma ono nga tau.

11 A nd he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin; he walked in them.

A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa; kihai i mahue i a ia tetahi o nga hara o Ieropoama tama a Nepata i hara ai a Iharaira: engari i haere ia i reira.

12 A nd the rest of the acts of Joash and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amaziah, king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

Na, ko era atu meatanga a Ioaha me ana mahi katoa, me ana mahi toa i tana whawhai ki a Amatia kingi o Hura, kihai ianei era i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira?

13 A nd Joash slept with his fathers, and Jeroboam sat upon his throne; and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.

Na ka moe a Ioaha ki ona matua, a noho ana a Ieropoama ki tona torona; i tanumia hoki a Ioaha ki Hamaria, ki nga kingi o Iharaira.

14 N ow Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness of which he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariots of Israel, and the horsemen thereof!

Na i te mate a Eriha i tona mate e mate rawa ai: a haere iho ana a Ioaha kingi o Iharaira ki raro, ki a ia, a tangi ana i runga i a ia, ka mea, E toku papa, e toku papa, e nga hariata o Iharaira, e ona kaieke hoiho!

15 A nd Elisha said unto him, Take the bow and the arrows. And he took unto him the bow and the arrows.

Na ka mea a Eriha ki a ia, E mau ki te kopere, ki nga pere: a ka mau ia ki te kopere, ki nga pere.

16 A nd he said to the king of Israel, Put thy hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it; and Elisha put his hands upon the king’s hands.

Na ka mea ia ki te kingi o Iharaira, Pupuri tou ringa i te kopere: na kua puritia e tona ringa. Na ka whakapa a Eriha i ona ringa ki nga ringa o te kingi.

17 A nd he said, Open the window towards the east. And when he opened it Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the LORD’s salvation, and the arrow of salvation from Syria; for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, until thou have consumed them.

Na ka ki tera, Uakina te matapihi whaka te rawhiti: na uakina ana e ia. Katahi a Eriha ka mea, Koperea: na koperea ana e ia. A ka mea tera, Ko te pere o ta Ihowa whakaoranga, ko te pere e ora ai i a Hiria: ka patua hoki e koe nga Hiriani ki Apek e, a poto noa.

18 A nd he said again, Take the arrows. And he took them. Then he said to the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote three times, and stopped.

A ka mea ano ia, E mau ki nga pere: a kua riro i a ia. Na ka mea tera ki te kingi o Iharaira, Patua ki te whenua: a e toru ana patunga, ka tu.

19 T hen the man of God was angry with him, and said, If thou would have smitten five or six times; then thou would have smitten Syria until thou had consumed it; whereas now thou shalt smite Syria three times.

Na ka riri te tangata a te Atua ki a ia, ka mea, Kia rima ke he patunga mau, kia ono ranei; penei kua patua e koe a Hiria a poto noa; ko tenei kia toru ano patunga mau i a Hiria.

20 ¶ And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.

Na ka mate a Eriha, a tanumia ana e ratou. A ka haere mai nga taua a nga Moapi ki te whenua i te aranga o te tau.

21 A nd it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha; and when the dead man touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.

Na, i a ratou e tanu ana i tetahi tangata, ka kite ratou i te taua; heoi maka ana e ratou taua tangata ki te rua o Eriha: te panga o te tangata ra ki nga wheua o Eriha, kua ora, tu ana ona waewae ki runga.

22 S o Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.

A i tukinotia a Iharaira e Hataere kingi o Hiria i nga ra katoa o Iehoahata.

23 B ut the LORD was merciful unto them, and had compassion on them, and looked upon them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and did not desire to destroy them or to cast them from his presence as yet.

Otira i atawhai a Ihowa ki a ratou, i aroha ki a ratou, i tahuri hoki ki a ratou, he whakaaro ki tana kawenata ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hakopa, kihai hoki i mea kia huna ratou, kiano hoki ratou i maka e ia i tona aroaro.

24 A nd Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his stead.

Na ka mate a Hataere kingi o Hiria; a ko Peneharara, ko tana tama te kingi i muri i a ia.

25 A nd Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities, which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz, his father, by war. Three times did Joash smite him, and he recovered the cities of Israel.

Na tangohia ana e Iehoaha tama a Iehoahata i te ringa o Peneharara tama a Hataere nga pa i tangohia atu i te ringa o Iehoahata, o tona papa i te whawhai. E toru nga patunga a Ioaha i a ia, a whakahokia ana e ia nga pa o Iharaira.
