2 Chronicles 18
1 Jehoshaphat became very wealthy and was greatly honored. But then he arranged for one of his family to marry someone from the family of King Ahab [of Israel].
A IA ia Iehosapata ka waiwai, a me ka hanohano he nui loa, a kuikahi pu ae la ia me Ahaba.
2 Several years later, he went down [from Jerusalem] to Samaria to visit Ahab. Ahab welcomed him and the people who had come with him by slaughtering many sheep and cattle [for a feast].
A pau ae la kekahi mau makahiki, iho iho la oia ilalo io Ahaba la ma Samaria: a pepebi iho la o Ahaba nana, a na na kanaka me ia i na hipa, a me na bipi he nui loa, a noi ikaika mai ia ia e pii pu me ia i Ramota-Gileada.
3 Then he asked Jehoshaphat, “Will you [and your army] go with my army to attack Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region]?” Jehoshaphat replied, “My soldiers and I will go to the battle when you tell us to go.”
Olelo mai la o Ahaba ke alii o ka Iseraela ia Iehosapata i ke alii o ka Iuda, Aole anei oe e hele pu me au i Ramota-Gileada? I aku la kela, E like me oe pela no au, e like me kou poe kanaka, pela ko'u poe kanaka, o kakou pu ma ke kaua.
4 Then he added, “But we should ask Yahweh first, to find out what he wants us to do.”
I aku la o Iehosapata i ke alii o ka Iseraela, E ninau oe i ka olelo a Iehova i keia la.
5 So the king of Israel gathered all his 400 prophets and asked them, “Should we go to attack the people of Ramoth [city], or should we not do that?” They replied, “Yes, go [and attack them] because God will enable your army to defeat them.”
Alaila houluulu ae la ke alii o ka Iseraela i na kaula eha haneri kanaka, a olelo aku la ia lakou, E hele anei makou i Ramota-Gileada i ke kaua? a e oki paha? I mai la lakou ia ia, O pii, a na ke Akua ia e haawi mai iloko o ka lima o ke alii.
6 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of Yahweh here whom we can ask?”
Olelo aku la o Iehosapata, Aole anei he kaula e ae o Iehova maanei i ninau kakou ia ia?
7 The king of Israel replied, “There is still one man here, whom we can ask to find out what Yahweh wants, his name is Micaiah, the son of Imlah. But I hate him because he never says anything good about me. He always predicts [that] bad [things will happen to me].” Jehoshaphat replied, “King Ahab, you should not say that!”
I mai la ke alii o ka Iseraela ia Iehosapata, Eia no kekahi kanaka i koe ma ona la e imi ai ia Iehova, o Mikaia kona inoa, ke keiki a Imela, aka, he inaina ko'u ia ia; no ka mea, aole i wanana mai ia no'u i ka pomaikai, aka, i ka poino wale no i kona mau la a pau. I aku la o Iehosapata, Mai olelo ke alii pela.
8 So the king of Israel told one of his officials to summon Micaiah immediately.
Kahea aku la ke alii o ka Iseraela i kekahi o na luna haku, E kii koke oe ia Mikaia ke keiki a Imela.
9 The king of Israel and the king of Judah were sitting there on their thrones, wearing their royal robes. They were at the place where people threshed grain, near the gate of Samaria [city]. All of [Ahab’s] prophets were standing in front of them, predicting what was going to happen.
A noho iho la ke alii o ka Iseraela a me Iehosapata ke alii o ka Iuda, kela mea keia mea maluna o kona nohoalii, ua aahu laua i ko laua aahu alii, a noho laua ma kahi akea ma ka puka kahi e komo ai iloko o Samaria; a wanana iho la na kaula a pau imua o laua.
10 [One of them whose name was] Zedekiah, the son of Kenaanah, had made from iron something that resembled the horns of a bull. He proclaimed to Ahab, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘With horns [like these], your [army] will keep attacking the army of Syria [like a bull attacks another animal], until you completely destroy them.’”
A o Zedakia ke keiki a Kenaana, hana iho la ia nona i mau kiwi hao, a olelo mai la, Penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova, Me keia mail mea oe e pahu aku ai i ko Suria, a pau lakou.
11 All the other prophets [of Ahab] agreed. They said, “Yes! If you attack Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region], you will be successful, because Yahweh will enable you to defeat them.”
A wanana ae la ka poe kaula a pau loa pela, i mai la, E pii i Ramota-Gileada, a lanakila; ua haawi mai o Iehova ia wahi iloko o ka lima o ke alii.
12 The messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, “Listen to me! All the other prophets are unitedly predicting that the king will be successful [in the battle]. So be sure to agree with them and say that the king’s army will be successful!”
A o ka elele, ka mea i hele ae e kii aku ia Mikaia, olelo aku la oia ia ia, i aku la, Aia hoi, o na olelo a pau a na kaula e wanana ai, hookahi wale no ia, o ka pomaikai no ke alii; i hookahi hoi kau olelo me ka lakou, e olelo oe ma ka pomaikai.
13 But Micaiah said, “As surely as Yahweh lives, I will tell the king only what Yahweh tells me to say.”
I mai la o Mikaia, Ma ke ola o Iehova, o na mea a ko'u Akua i olelo mai ai, oia ka'u o olelo aku ai.
14 When Micaiah arrived, the king [of Israel] asked him, “Should we go to attack Ramoth, or not?” Micaiah replied, “Sure, go! Yahweh will enable your army to defeat them!”
A hiki ia i ke alii, olelo ke alii ia ia, E Mikaia, e pii anei makou i Ramota-Gileada, i ke kaua? a e oki paha? I mai kela, E pii, e pomaikai, a e haawiia ua poe la iloko o ko olua lima.
15 But King Ahab [realized that Micaiah was lying, so he] said to Micaiah, “I have told you many times that you must always tell only the truth when you say what Yahweh [has revealed to you]!”
Olelo aku la ke alii ia ia, Ehia la ka'u mau kauoha hoohiki aku ia oe, i ole oe e olelo mai ia'u i ka mea e, i ka mea oiaio wale no, ma ka inoa o Iehova?
16 Then Micaiah replied, “[The truth is that in a vision] I saw all the troops of Israel scattered on the mountains. They seemed to be like sheep that did not have a shepherd. And Yahweh said, ‘Their master has been killed. So tell them all to go home peacefully.’”
I mai la kela, Ua ike au i ka Iseraela a pau e auwana ana ma na mauna e like me na hipa kahu ole; olelo mai o Iehova, aole o lakou haku, e hoi kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona hale iho me ka maluhia.
17 Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “I told you that he never predicts that anything good will happen to me! He [always] predicts that bad things will happen to me.”
I aku la ke alii o ka Iseraela ia Iehosapata, Aole anei au i olelo aku ia oe, aole wanana mai kela no'u i ka pomaikai, aka, i ka poino wale no?
18 But Micaiah continued, saying, “Listen to what Yahweh showed to me! [In a vision] I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, with all the armies of heaven [standing around him], on his right side and on his left side.
I mai la ke kaula, No ia mea, e hoolohe mai oe i ka olelo a Iehova; ua ike au ia Iehova e noho ana maluna o kona nohoalii, a o ka poe koa a pau o na lani e ku ana ma kona lima akau, a me kona lima hema.
19 And Yahweh said, ‘Who can persuade Ahab, the king of Israel, to go to fight against the people of Ramoth, in order that he may be killed there?’ “Some suggested one thing, and others suggested something else.
Olelo ae la o Iehova, Owai la ka mea e hoowalewale ia Ahaba ke alii o ka Iseraela i pii aku oia a make ma Ramota-Gileada? Olelo ae la kekahi peneia, a o kekahi hoi peneia.
20 “Finally one spirit, [having received a message from Satan], came to Yahweh and said, ‘I can do it!’ “Yahweh asked him, ‘How will you do it?’
Alaila, hiki mai kekahi uhane, a ku ae la imua o Iehova, a olelo aku la ia, Owau ke hoowalewale ia ia. I ae la o Iehova, Pehea?
21 “The spirit replied, ‘I will go and inspire all of Ahab’s prophets to tell lies.’ Yahweh said, ‘You will be successful; go and do it!’
I aku la kela, E hele au a e lilo au i uhane wahahee iloko o na waha o kona poe kaula a pau. I ae la o Iehova, E hoowalewale oe, a e lanakila hoi; e hele oe a hana no pela.
22 “So now [I tell you that] Yahweh has caused your prophets to lie to you. Yahweh has decided that something terrible will happen to you.”
Ano hoi, ua haawi mai o Iehova i ka uhane wahahee iloko o ka waha o keia poe kaula au, a o Iehova hoi ua olelo mai oia nau i ka poino.
23 Then Zedekiah son of Kenaanah walked over to Micaiah and slapped him on his face. He said, “Do you think that Yahweh’s Spirit left me in order to speak to you?”
Alaila, hookokoke o Zedakia ke keiki a Kenaana, a kui mai ia Mikaia ma ka papalina, me ka i ana mai, Ma ka aoao hea i hele ai ka uhane o Iehova mai o'u aku nei e olelo aku ia oe.
24 Micaiah replied, “You will find out for yourself [to which of us Yahweh’s Spirit has truly spoken] on the day when you go into a room of some house to hide [from the Syrian soldiers]!”
I aku la o Mikaia, E ike auanei oe, i ka la e komo ai oe iloko o ke keena iloko, e pee iho.
25 King Ahab commanded [his soldiers], “Seize Micaiah and take him to Amon, the governor of this city, and to my son Joash.
Olelo aku la ke alii o ka Iseraela, E lawe oukou ia Mikaia, a e hoihoi ia ia io Amona la i ka luna iloko o ke kulanakauhale, a ia Ioasa ke keiki a ke alii.
26 Tell them that I have commanded that they should put this man in prison and give him only bread and water. Do not give him anything else to eat until I return safely [from the battle]!”
E olelo aku ia laua penei, Ua i mai la ke alii, e hookomo i keia kanaka iloko o ka hale paahao, a e hanai ia ia i ka berena o ka pilikia a me ka wai o ka pilikia, a hoi mai au me ka maluhia.
27 Micaiah replied, “If you return safely, [it will be clear that] it was not Yahweh who told me what to say to you!” Then he said [to all those who were standing there], “Do not forget what I have said [to King Ahab]!”
I aku la o Mikaia, Ina e hoi io mai oe me ka maluhia, aole o Iehova i olelo mai ma o'u nei. Olelo aku la ia, E hoolohe oukou, e na kanaka a pau.
28 So the king of Israel and the king of Judah [led their armies] to Ramoth, in [the] Gilead [region].
Alaila pii aku la ke alii o ka Iseraela, a me Iehosapata, ke alii o ka Iuda, i Ramota-Gileada.
29 King Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “I will put on different clothes, [in order that no one will recognize that I am the king.] But you should wear your royal robe.” So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they both went into the battle.
Olelo mai la ke alii o ka Iseraela ia Iehosapata, E huna au ia'u iho, a e komo iloko o ke kaua, aka, e komo oe i kou kapa alii. A huna iho ke alii o ka Iseraela ia ia iho, a komo iloko o ke kaua.
30 The King of Syria told his soldiers who were driving the chariots, “Attack only the king of Israel!”
Ua kauoha ke alii o Suria i na luna o kona mau hale kaa, i aku la, Mai kaua aku i kekahi mea uuku, aole i kekahi mea nui, i ke alii o ka Iseraela wale no.
31 So when the soldiers who were driving the Syrian chariots saw Jehoshaphat [wearing the royal robes], they thought “He must be the king of Israel!”
A ike mai na luna o na hale kaa ia Iehosapata, i iho la lakou, O ke alii ia o ka Iseraela: a puana mai la lakou ia ia a puni e kaua mai ia ia; aka, kahea aku la o Iehosapata, a kokua mai o Iehova ia ia, a hoohuli ae la ke Akua ia lakou mai ona'ku.
32 So they turned to attack him. But when Jehoshaphat cried out, Yahweh helped him, and they realized that he was not the king of Israel. And God caused them to stop pursuing him.
Ike mai la na luna o na hale kaa, aole ke alii ia o ka Iseraela, huli ae la lakou mai ona aku la.
33 But one [Syrian] soldier shot an arrow at Ahab, without knowing that it was Ahab. The arrow struck Ahab between the places where the parts of his armor joined together. Ahab told the driver of his chariot, “Turn the chariot around and take me out of here! I have been [severely] wounded!”
A pana wale mai la kekahi kanaka me kana kakaka, a ku i ke alii o ka Iseraela ma kahi ami o kona paleumauma; a olelo oia i ka mea nana e malama i kona hale kaa, E huli ae kou lima, a e lawe ia'u mai ke kaua aku, no ka mea, ua eha au.
34 The battle continued all that day. Ahab was sitting propped up in his chariot, facing the Syrian soldiers. And late in the afternoon, when the sun was setting, he died.
Mahuahua ae la ke kaua ia la; aka, noho iho la ke alii o ka Iseraela iloko o kona hale kaa, e ku e i ko Suria, a ahiahi; a i ka napoo ana o ka la, make iho la ia.
