1 Na i muri i te matenga o Ahapa ka whakakeke a Moapa ki a Iharaira.
2 Na ka taka iho a Ahatia i te taiepa ripekapeka i tona ruma i runga, i Hamaria, a ka takoto mate: na ka tono tangata ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Tikina, uia ki a Paarahepupa atua o Ekerono, e ora ranei ahau i tenei mate.
3 Otiia i mea te anahera a Ihowa ki a Iraia Tihipi, Whakatika, haere ki runga, ki te whakatau i nga tangata a te kingi o Hamaria, mea atu ki a ratou, He kore Atua ianei no Iharaira i haere ai koutou ki te ui ki a Paarahepupa atua o Ekerono?
4 No reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ko te moenga i pikitia na e koe, e kore koe e heke iho i reira, engari ko te mate kau mou. Na haere ana a Iraia.
5 Na, i te hokinga atu o nga tangata ki a ia, ka mea ia ki a ratou, He aha koutou i hoki mai ai?
6 Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, I haere mai tetahi tangata ki te whakatau i a matou, a ka mea ki a matou, Haere, hoki atu ki te kingi i tonoa mai ai koutou, mea atu ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, He kore Atua no Iharaira i tono tangata ai koe ki te ui ki a Paarahepupa atua o Ekerono? Na, ko te moenga i pikitia na e koe, e kore koe e heke iho i reira; engari ko te mate kau mou.
7 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Tena koa te ahua o taua tangata i haere mai na ki te whakatau i a koutou, i korero na i aua kupu ki a koutou?
8 Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, He tangata puhuruhuru, he whitiki hiako te whitiki o tona hope. Na ka mea ia, Ko Iraira Tihipi tena.
9 Katahi ia ka unga i tetahi rangatira rima tekau me tana rima tekau. Na haere ana ia ki a ia; na i te tihi tera o te maunga e noho ana. A ka mea ia ki a ia, E te tangata a te Atua, i mea mai te kingi, Heke iho.
10 Na ka whakahoki a Iraia, ka mea ki te rangatira rima tekau, Ki te mea he tangata ahau na te Atua, kia heke iho he ahi i te rangi hei kai i a koutou ko tau rima tekau. Na heke iho ana he ahi i te rangi, pau ake ia me tana rima tekau.
11 Na ka unga ano e ia tetahi atu rangatira rima tekau me tana rima tekau. A ka oho tera, ka mea atu ki a ia, E te tangata a te Atua, ko te kupu tenei a te kingi, Hohoro te heke iho.
12 Na ka whakahoki a Iraia, ka mea ki a ratou, Ki te mea he tangata ahau na te Atua, kia heke iho he ahi i te rangi hei kai i a koutou ko tau rima tekau. Ko te hekenga iho o te ahi a te Atua i te rangi, pau ake ia me tana rima tekau.
13 Na ka unga ano e ia, ka tuatorutia, he rangatira rima tekau me tana rima tekau. Na haere ana te tuatoru o nga rangatira rima tekau, ka tae, ka tuku i nga turi ki raro, ki te aroaro o Iraia, ka tangi ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, E te tangata a te Atu a, kia nui ki tou whakaaro toku wairua me nga wairua o enei pononga e rima tekau au.
14 Nana, i heke iho he ahi i te rangi, a pau ake nga rangatira tokorua o nga rima tekau o mua ake nei me a raua rima tekau: na kia nui toku wairua ki tou whakaaro.
15 Na ka mea te anahera a Ihowa ki a Iraia, Heke atu korua, kaua e wehi i a ia. Na whakatika ana ia, heke tahi ana raua ki te kingi.
16 Na ka mea tera ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Na kua unga tangata na koe ki te ui ki a Paarahepupa atua o Ekerono, he kore Atua ianei no Iharaira hei uinga mau i tana kupu? na reira, e kore koe e heke iho i te moenga i pikitia na e koe, enga ri ko te mate kau mou.
17 Heoi mate iho ia, i rite tonu ki te kupu a Ihowa i korerotia e Iraia. A ko Iehorama te kingi i muri i a ia, i te rua o nga tau o Iehorama tama a Iehohapata kingi o Hura; kahore hoki ana tama.
18 Na ko era atu mahi a Ahatia i mea ai ia, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira?

The Lord’s Judgment on Ahaziah
1 After Ahab’s death, Moab(A) rebelled against Israel. 2 Now Ahaziah had fallen through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria and injured himself. So he sent messengers,(B) saying to them, “Go and consult Baal-Zebub,(C) the god of Ekron,(D) to see if I will recover(E) from this injury.”
3 But the angel(F) of the Lord said to Elijah(G) the Tishbite, “Go up and meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel(H) that you are going off to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron?’ 4 Therefore this is what the Lord says: ‘You will not leave(I) the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!’” So Elijah went.
5 When the messengers returned to the king, he asked them, “Why have you come back?”
6 “A man came to meet us,” they replied. “And he said to us, ‘Go back to the king who sent you and tell him, “This is what the Lord says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending messengers to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not leave(J) the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!”’”
7 The king asked them, “What kind of man was it who came to meet you and told you this?”
8 They replied, “He had a garment of hair[a](K) and had a leather belt around his waist.”
The king said, “That was Elijah the Tishbite.”
9 Then he sent(L) to Elijah a captain(M) with his company of fifty men. The captain went up to Elijah, who was sitting on the top of a hill, and said to him, “Man of God, the king says, ‘Come down!’”
10 Elijah answered the captain, “If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men!” Then fire(N) fell from heaven and consumed the captain and his men.
11 At this the king sent to Elijah another captain with his fifty men. The captain said to him, “Man of God, this is what the king says, ‘Come down at once!’”
12 “If I am a man of God,” Elijah replied, “may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men!” Then the fire of God fell from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men.
13 So the king sent a third captain with his fifty men. This third captain went up and fell on his knees before Elijah. “Man of God,” he begged, “please have respect for my life(O) and the lives of these fifty men, your servants! 14 See, fire has fallen from heaven and consumed the first two captains and all their men. But now have respect for my life!”
15 The angel(P) of the Lord said to Elijah, “Go down with him; do not be afraid(Q) of him.” So Elijah got up and went down with him to the king.
16 He told the king, “This is what the Lord says: Is it because there is no God in Israel for you to consult that you have sent messengers(R) to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Because you have done this, you will never leave(S) the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!” 17 So he died,(T) according to the word of the Lord that Elijah had spoken.
Because Ahaziah had no son, Joram[b](U) succeeded him as king in the second year of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah. 18 As for all the other events of Ahaziah’s reign, and what he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?
