Maori Bible
2 Na, i te meatanga a Ihowa kia tangohia atu a Iraia ki te rangi i roto i te tukauati, ka haere atu a Iraira raua ko Eriha i Kirikara.
2 Na ka mea atu a Iraia ki a Eriha, Hei konei koe noho ai, kua unga hoki ahau e Ihowa ki Peteere. Ano ra ko Eriha, E ora ana a Ihowa, e ora ana hoki tou wairua, e kore ahau e whakarere i a koe. Heoi haere tahi ana raua ki raro, ki Peteere.
3 Na ka puta mai nga tama a nga poropiti i Peteere ki a Eriha, a ka mea ki a ia, E mohio ana ranei koe ko aianei tangohia ai e Ihowa tou ariki i runga i tou upoko? Ano ra ko ia, E mohio ana ano ahau; whakarongoa.
4 Na ka mea a Iraia ki a ia, E Eriha, heoi konei koe noho ai; kua unga hoki ahau e Ihowa ki Heriko. Ano ra ko tera, E ora ana a Ihowa, e ora ana hoki tou wairua, e kore ahau e whakarere i a koe. Heoi haere ana raua ki Heriko.
5 Na ka whakatata mai nga tama a nga poropiti i Heriko ki a Eriha, a ka mea ki a ia, E mohio ana ranei koe ko aianei tangohia ai e Ihowa tou ariki i runga i tou upoko? Ano ra ko ia, E mohio ana ano ahau; whakarongoa.
6 Na ka mea a Iraia ki a ia, Hei konei koe noho ai; kua unga hoki ahau e Ihowa ki Horano. Ano ra ko tera, E ora ana a Ihowa, e ora ana ano hoki tou wairua, e kore ahau e whakarere i a koe. Na haere ana raua tokorua.
7 Na ka haere etahi tangata e rima tekau, he tama na nga poropiti, a tu atu ana i tawhiti; me te tu ano raua tokorua i te taha o Horano.
8 Na ka mau a Iraia ki tona koroka, whakakopaia ana e ia, patua ana ki nga wai, a ka wehea ki tetahi taha, ki tetahi taha, a whiti ana raua i te wahi maroke.
9 A, no to raua whitinga, ka mea a Iraira ki a Eriha, Tonoa mai, ko te aha e meatia e ahau mau i ahau kiano kia wehea noatia i a koe. Ano ra ko Eriha, Kia rereruatia mai ki ahau te wahi wairua i a koe na.
10 Na ka mea tera, He mea pakeke tau i tono mai na: he ahakoa ra, ki te kite koe i ahau e tangohia atu ana i a koe, ka rite ki tau na; ki te kahore, ka kore e pena.
11 Na, i a raua e haere ana, me te korero haere, ka puta mai tetahi hariata ahi me nga hoiho ahi, a wehea ana raua tokorua; a kake ana a Iraia i roto i te tukauati ki te rangi.
12 A ka kite a Eriha, ka karanga ia, E toku papa, e toku papa, e nga hariata o Iharaira, e ona kaieke hoiho! A kihai ia i kite i a ia i muri. Na ka mau ia ki ona kakahu ake, a haea iho kia rua nga wahi.
13 I tangohia ake hoki e ia te koroka o Iraia i marere i runga i a ia, e hoki ana, tu ana i te pareparenga o Horano.
14 Na ka mau ia ki te koroka o Iraia i marere nei i runga i a ia, a patua iho ki nga wai, me te ki ano, Kei hea ra a Ihowa, te Atua o Iraia? Na, ka patua e ia nga wai, wehe ana ki tetahi taha, ki tetahi taha: a whiti ana a Eriha.
15 A, no te kitenga o nga tama a nga poropiti, o era o Heriko i te ritenga mai ki a ia, ka mea ratou, Kua tau te wairua o Iraia ki runga ki a Eriha. Na haere ana mai ratou ki te whakatau i a ia, piko ana ki tona aroaro ki te whenua.
16 Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Nana, tenei etahi tangata e rima tekau kei au pononga, he marohirohi; tukua ratou kia haere ki te rapu i tou ariki; kei tupono kua kahakina atu ia e te wairua o Ihowa, kua maka ki runga ki tetahi maunga, ki roto ranei ki tetahi awaawa. Na ka mea ia, Kaua e unga.
17 A, i ta ratou tohenga a whakama noa ia, ka ki atu ia, Unga. Na unga ana e ratou e rima tekau nga tangata: a e toru nga ra i rapu ai ratou, heoi kihai i kitea.
18 Na hoki ana ratou ki a ia, i Heriko hoki ia e noho ana; a ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kihai ianei ahau i ki atu ki a koutou, Kaua e haere?
19 Na ka mea nga tangata o te pa ki a Eriha, Nana, he pai te turanga o tenei pa, e kite nei hoki toku ariki; engari ko te wai he kino, a ko te whenua he whakatahe.
20 Na ka mea ia, Maua mai he oko hou ki ahau, ka mea he tote ki roto. Na ka kawea mai e ratou ki a ia
21 Na haere ana ia ki te matapuna o te wai, a maka ana te tote ki roto, me te ki ano, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kua ora tenei wai i ahau; heoi ano o konei mate, o konei whakatahe.
22 Na ora tonu ake taua wai a mohoa noa nei, pera tonu me ta Eriha kupu i korero ai.
23 Na ka haere atu ia i reira ki Peteere; a, i a ia e haere ana i te ara, ka puta mai etahi tamariki ririki i te pa, ka taunu ki a ia, ka mea, Pakira, haere ki runga; pakira, haere ki runga.
24 Na ka tahuri ake ia, ka titiro ki a ratou, a kanga iho ratou i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa. Na ko te putanga mai o nga pea uha e rua i te ngahere, a haehaea ana etahi o ratou, e wha tekau ma rua nga tamariki.
25 Na haere atu ana ia i reira ki Maunga Karamere, a hoki ana i reira ki Hamaria.

Elijah Taken Up to Heaven
2 When the Lord was about to take(A) Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind,(B) Elijah and Elisha(C) were on their way from Gilgal.(D) 2 Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here;(E) the Lord has sent me to Bethel.”
But Elisha said, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.”(F) So they went down to Bethel.
3 The company(G) of the prophets at Bethel came out to Elisha and asked, “Do you know that the Lord is going to take your master from you today?”
“Yes, I know,” Elisha replied, “so be quiet.”
4 Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here, Elisha; the Lord has sent me to Jericho.(H)”
And he replied, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Jericho.
5 The company(I) of the prophets at Jericho went up to Elisha and asked him, “Do you know that the Lord is going to take your master from you today?”
“Yes, I know,” he replied, “so be quiet.”
6 Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here;(J) the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.”(K)
And he replied, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.”(L) So the two of them walked on.
7 Fifty men from the company of the prophets went and stood at a distance, facing the place where Elijah and Elisha had stopped at the Jordan. 8 Elijah took his cloak,(M) rolled it up and struck(N) the water with it. The water divided(O) to the right and to the left, and the two of them crossed over on dry(P) ground.
9 When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?”
“Let me inherit a double(Q) portion of your spirit,”(R) Elisha replied.
10 “You have asked a difficult thing,” Elijah said, “yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours—otherwise, it will not.”
11 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire(S) and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven(T) in a whirlwind.(U) 12 Elisha saw this and cried out, “My father! My father! The chariots(V) and horsemen of Israel!” And Elisha saw him no more. Then he took hold of his garment and tore(W) it in two.
13 Elisha then picked up Elijah’s cloak that had fallen from him and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan. 14 He took the cloak(X) that had fallen from Elijah and struck(Y) the water with it. “Where now is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” he asked. When he struck the water, it divided to the right and to the left, and he crossed over.
15 The company(Z) of the prophets from Jericho, who were watching, said, “The spirit(AA) of Elijah is resting on Elisha.” And they went to meet him and bowed to the ground before him. 16 “Look,” they said, “we your servants have fifty able men. Let them go and look for your master. Perhaps the Spirit(AB) of the Lord has picked him up(AC) and set him down on some mountain or in some valley.”
“No,” Elisha replied, “do not send them.”
17 But they persisted until he was too embarrassed(AD) to refuse. So he said, “Send them.” And they sent fifty men, who searched for three days but did not find him. 18 When they returned to Elisha, who was staying in Jericho, he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you not to go?”
Healing of the Water
19 The people of the city said to Elisha, “Look, our lord, this town is well situated, as you can see, but the water is bad and the land is unproductive.”
20 “Bring me a new bowl,” he said, “and put salt in it.” So they brought it to him.
21 Then he went out to the spring and threw(AE) the salt into it, saying, “This is what the Lord says: ‘I have healed this water. Never again will it cause death or make the land unproductive.’” 22 And the water has remained pure(AF) to this day, according to the word Elisha had spoken.
Elisha Is Jeered
23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered(AG) at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse(AH) on them in the name(AI) of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys. 25 And he went on to Mount Carmel(AJ) and from there returned to Samaria.
