2 Kings 4
1 One day the widow of one of [Yahweh’s] prophets came to Elisha and cried out to him, “My husband, who worked with you, is dead. You know that he revered Yahweh [very much]. But now a man to whom he owed a lot of money has come to me. [And because I cannot pay back the money, he is threatening] to take away my two sons to be his slaves [as payment for what I owe him]!”
O KEKAHI wahine no na wahine a na haumana a ka poe kaula, auwe aku la oia ia Elisai, i aku la, Ua make kau kauwa o kun kane; a ua ike no oe, ua makau kau kauwa ia Iehova: a ua kii mai ka mea i aieia kana e lawe aku i kuu mau keikikane i mau kauwa nana.
2 Elisha replied, “What can I do to help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” She replied, “We have only a container of [olive] oil; we have nothing else.”
I aku la o Elisai ia ia, Heaha ka'u e hana aku ai nou? e hai mai oe ia'u, heaha kau mea iloko o ka hale? I mai la ia, Aole kekahi mea i au kauwawahine iloko o ka hale, hookahi ipu aila wale no.
3 Elisha said, “Go to your neighbors and borrow from them as many empty jars as you can.
I aku la ia, E hele oe, e noi aku i kou mau hoalauna a pau i na ipu nou, i na ipu kaawale hoi; mai noi uuku.
4 Then take the jars into your house with your sons. Shut the door. Then pour olive oil from your container into the other jars. When each jar is full, set it aside [and fill another jar. Keep doing that until all the jars are full].”
A i kou komo ana mai iloko, e pani aku i ka puka mahope ou a mahope o kau mau keikikane, a e ninini ae maloko o ia mau ipu a pau, a hookaawale i ka mea i piha.
5 [So she did what Elisha told her to do]. Her sons kept bringing jars to her, and she kept filling them.
A hele ia mai ona aku la, a pani aku la i ka puka mahope ona a mahope o kana mau keikikane, na mea i lawe mai ia ia, a ninini iho la ia.
6 Soon all the jars were full. So she said to one of her sons, “Bring me another jar!” But he replied, “There are no more jars!” And then the olive oil stopped flowing.
A piha na ipu i aku la ia i kana keiki, E lawe hou mai i ipu, I mai la kela ia ia, Aohe ipu i koe. A mau iho la ka aila.
7 When she told Elijah [what had happened], he said to her, “Now sell the jars of oil. And [with the money you get, ] pay what you owe, and there will be enough extra money to keep buying food for yourself and your sons.” [So she did that].
Alaila hele ia a hai aku i ke kanaka o ke Akua: i mai la kela ia ia, E hele oe, a e kuai aku i ka aila, a hookaa aku i kau aie, a e ola oe, a me kau mau keiki i ke koena.
8 One day Elisha went to Shunem [town]. There was a wealthy woman who lived there [with her husband]. One day she invited Elisha to her house for a meal. [Elisha went there and] from then on, every time Elisha was in Shunem, he went to their house to eat a meal.
A i kekahi la, hele aku la o Elisai i Sunema, a malaila he wahine koikoi, a koi mai la kela ia ia e ai i ka ai. A i kona manawa i hele ae ai ma ia wahi, kipa ae la ia malaila e ai i ka ai.
9 One day the woman said to her husband, “I am sure that this man who often comes here is a prophet [who brings messages] from God.
I aku la ia i kana kane, Aia hoi ke ike nei au, o ka mea i maalo pinepine ae ma o kaua nei, he kanaka hemolele ia o ke Akua.
10 I think we should make a small room for him on our [flat] roof, and put a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp in it. If we do that, whenever he comes here, he will have a place to stay.” [So they did that].
Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hana kaua i wahi keena uuku maluna o ka papohaku, a e waiho malaila i wahi moe, a i wahi papaaina a i wahi noho, a i wahi ipukukui; a i ka manawa e hele mai ai ia io kaua nei, e kipa ae ia malaila.
11 One day Elisha returned to Shunem, and he went up to that room to rest.
A i kekahi la, hele aku la ia malaila, a kipa ae la ia ma ke keena maluna, a moe iho la ilaila.
12 He said to his servant Gehazi, “Tell the woman that I want to speak to her.” [So the servant went and told her]. When she came [to the doorway of Elisha’s room],
I aku la oia ia Gehazi i kana kauwa, E kahea aku oe i keia wahine no Sunema nei. A i kona kahea ana ia ia, ku iho la ia imua oua.
13 Elisha said to Gehazi, “Tell her that we both appreciate all the kind things that she has done for us. Then ask her what we can do for her. Ask, ‘Do you want [me to go to] the king or the army commander, to request something for you?’” [Gehazi told her, ] and she replied, “No, [he does not need to do that, because] my family/relatives are able to give me what I need.”
Olelo aku la o Elisai i kana kauwa, Ano e i aku oe i ka wahine, Aia hoi, ua manao mai oe ia maua i keia malama ana a pau, heaha ka mea e. hanaia aku ai nou? e oleloia aku anei i ke alii nou; a i ka luna koa paha? I mai kela, Ke noho nei au iwaena o kuu poe kanaka.
14 [Later, ] Elisha asked Gehazi, “What do you think that we can do for that woman?” He replied, “She does not have a son, and her husband is an old man. [So maybe we should ask Yahweh to enable her to have a son].”
I aku la ia, Heaha la e hanaia aku ai nona? I mai la o Gehazi, He oiaio, aohe ana keiki, a ua elemakule kana kane.
15 Elisha told Gehazi, “Call her back again.” [So Gehazi went and called her]. And when the woman returned, as she stood in the doorway,
I aku la ia, E kahea aku ia ia. Kahea aku kela ia ia, a ku mai la ia ma ka puka.
16 Elisha said to her, “About this time next year you will be holding your [infant] son in your arms.” But she protested, “O, sir, you are a prophet [who brings messages] from God, so please do not deceive/lie to me by saying things like that!”
I aku la ia, A hiki i keia wa o kela makahiki, e puliki oe i keikikane. I mai la kela, Aole, e kuu haku, e ke kanaka o ke Akua; mai hoopunipuni oe i kau kauwawahine.
17 But a few months later, the woman became pregnant, and she gave birth to a son at that time the following year, just like Elisha had predicted.
Hapai ae la ka wahine, a hanau mai la i keikikane i kela manawa, o ka puni ana o ka makahiki, e like me ka olelo a Elisai ia ia.
18 When the child was older, one day he went out to the fields to see his father, who was [working] with the men who were harvesting [grain].
A nui ae la ke keiki; a i kekahi la, hele aku la ia i kona makuakane, i ka poe e oki ai ana.
19 [Suddenly] the boy exclaimed, “My head [hurts]! My head [hurts a lot]!” His father said to one of the servants, “Carry him home to his mother!”
I mai la kela i kona makuakane, Ea, o kuu poo, o kuu poo. I aku la ia i kahi kanaka ui, E lawe aku oe ia ia nei i kona makuwahine.
20 So the servant carried him home, and his mother held him on her lap. But at noontime the boy died.
Hapai ae la oia ia ia, a hali aku ia ia i kona makuwahine, a noho iho ia maluna o kona uha a awakea, a make iho la.
21 She carried him up [the steps] to the prophet’s room and laid him on the bed. She left him there and went out and shut the door.
Pii ae la ia, a waiho ia ia maluna o kahi moe o ke kanaka o ke Akua, a paniia aku la mahope ona, a hele aku la iwaho.
22 She then called out to her husband, saying, “Send to me one of the servants and a donkey, so that I can ride [on it] quickly to the prophet, and then come back!” [But she did not tell her husband that their son had died].
Kahea aku la ia i kana kane, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hoouna ia'u nei i kekahi o na kanaka ui, a me kekahi hoki, i holo aku ai au i ke kanaka o ke Akua, a hoi hou mai au.
23 Her husband [called out to her and] said, “Why [do you want to go] today? This is not the day when we celebrate the Festival of the New Moon, and it is not a Sabbath day!” But she only replied, “[Just do what I requested and] everything will be all right.”
Ninau mai la ia, No ke aha la oe e hele aku ai io na la i keia la? aole he mahina hou, aole hoi he sabati. I aku la kela ia ia, E pono ana mai ia.
24 So she [told the servant to] put saddles on [two] donkeys, and as they left, she said, “Hurry! Do not slow down unless t tell you to do that!”
Kau aku la ia i ka noho maluna o ka hoki, i aku la i kona kanaka ui, E hooikaika a hele aku, mai lohi oe no'u i ka holo ana, ke olelo ole aku au ia oe.
25 As they approached Carmel Mountain, where Elisha was, Elisha saw her in the distance. He said to Gehazi, “Look, the woman from Shunem is coming!
A hele aku la ia, a hiki aku i ke kanaka o ke Akua, ma ka mauna o Karemela. A ike mai la ke kanaka o ke Akua ia ia ma o aku, i aku la oia ia Gehazi i kana kauwa, Aia hoi kela wahine no Sunema.
26 Run to her, and ask her if everything is all right with her and her husband and with her child!” [So Gehazi ran to her and asked her, but she did not tell Gehazi anything.] She only said, “Yes, everything is fine.”
Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, ano e holo aku oe e halawai me ia, a e ninau aku ia ia, E pomaikai ana oe? e pomaikai ana kau kane? e pomaikai ana kau keiki? I mai la kela, e pomaikai ana.
27 But when she came to where Elisha was, she [prostrated herself on the ground in front of Elisha and] took hold of his feet. Gehazi started to push her away, but Elisha said, “(Do not push her away/Leave her alone)! Something is troubling her very much, but Yahweh has not told me what it is.”
A hiki aku la ia i ke kanaka o ke Akua ma ka mauna, hoopaa aku la ia ma kona wawae; a hele kokoke mai o Gehazi e hookuke aku ia ia. I mai la ke kanaka o ke Akua, E waiho malie ia ia nei, no ka mea, ua eha kona naau iloko ona: a ua huna mai o Iehova ia mea ia'u, aole ia i hai mai ia'u.
28 Then she said to Elisha, “O, sir, I did not ask you to enable me to give birth to a son [RHQ]. And I told you not to lie to me about that!” [RHQ]
I aku la ka wahine, Ua nonoi aku anei au i keikikane na kuu haku mai? aole anei au i olelo aku, Mai hoopunipuni mai oe ia'u?
29 Then Elisha [realized that something must have happened to her son. So he] said to Gehazi, “Get ready [to leave immediately]. Take my staff/walking stick and go [to her home]. Do not [stop to] talk to anyone on the way. Go quickly [to where her son is] and lay the staff on the child’s face. [If you do that, perhaps Yahweh will enable him to be well].”
Olelo aku la oia ia Gehazi, e kaei oe i kou puhaka, a e lawe i ko'u kookoo ma kou lima, a e hele ma kou ala: ina e halawai oe me kekahi kanaka, mai uwe aku oe ia ia; a ina e uwe mai kekahi ia oe, mai olelo aku oe ia ia; a kau aku oe i kuu kookoo maluna o ka maka o ke keiki.
30 But the boy’s mother said, “Just [as certain] as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not go home if you do not go with me.” So Elisha returned with her [to her home].
Olelo mai la ka makuwahine o ke keiki, Ma ke ola o Ieohova, a ma ke ola o kou uhane, aole au e haalele ia oe. Ku ae la ia a hele aku mamuli ona.
31 Gehazi hurried quickly, and [when he got to the woman’s home, ] he laid the staff/walking stick on the child’s face, but the child did not move or say anything. So Gehazi returned to meet Elisha [along the road], and told him, “The child is still dead.”
A hele aku la o Gehazi imua o lakou, a kau aku la i ke kookoo maluna o ka maka o ke keiki; aka, aohe leo, aole hoi he lohe: a hoi aku la oia e halawai me ia, a olelo aku la ia ia, i aku la, Aole i ala mai ke keiki.
32 When Elisha reached the house, he saw that the boy was lying dead on his bed.
A hiki aku la o Elisai iloko o ka hale, aia hoi, ua make ke keiki, a ua waihoia maluna o kona wahi moe.
33 Elisha went into the room by himself and shut the door and prayed to Yahweh.
Komo aku la ia maloko, a pani aku la i ka puka mahope o laua elua, a pule aku la ia Iehova.
34 Then he lay down on the boy’s body, and put his mouth on the boy’s mouth, and put his eyes on the boy’s eyes, and put his hands on the boy’s hands. Then the boy’s body started to become warm!
Pii ae la ia, a moe iho la maluna o ke keiki, o kona waha maluna o ko ia la waha, a o kona maka maluna o ko ia la maka, a me kona mau lima maluna o ko ia la mau lima, a kulou iho iho la ia maluna ona, a mahana mai la ka io o ke keiki.
35 Elisha got up and walked back and forth in the room [several times]. Then he stretched his body on the boy’s body again. The boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes!
A huli ae la ia, a holoholo iloko o ka hale, i o ia nei; a pii ae la a kulou maluna ona: a kihe iho la ko keiki ehiku kihe ana, a kaakaa mai la na maka o ke keiki.
36 Then Elisha summoned Gehazi. He said, “Call the boy’s mother!” [So Gehazi went and called her, ] and when she came in, Elisha said, “Here, take your son!”
Kahea aku la oia ia Gehazi, i aku la, E hea aku i ka wahine no Sunema. Kahea aku la kela ia ia; a hiki mai la ia io na la, i aku la o Elisai, E kaikai ae oe i kau keiki.
37 She [gratefully] prostrated herself at Elisha’s feet. Then she picked up her son and carried him downstairs.
A komo mai la ia maloko, a haule ma kona wawae, a kulou iho la ma ka honua, a kaikai ae la i kana keiki, a hele aku la iwaho.
38 Then Elisha returned to Gilgal. But at that time there was (a famine/very little food) in that area. One day as the group of prophets was sitting in front of Elisha [listening to what he was teaching], he said to his servant, “Put a large pot on [the stove] and make some stew for these men.”
A hoi hou aku la o Elisai i Gilegala; a he wi ma ka aina, a e noho ana na haumana a ka poe kaula imua ona; a i aku la ia i kana kauwa, E kau i ka ipuhao nui, a hoolapalapa i ka ai na na haumana a ka poe kaula.
39 One of the prophets went out to the fields to gather some vegetables. But he gathered [only] some wild gourds and put them in his cloak and brought them back. He shredded them and put them in the pot, but he did not know that the gourds were poisonous.
A hele aku la kekahi ma ke kula, a ohi i ka launahele, a loaa ia ia ke gepena, a hoiliili i na gepena a piha kona kihei; a okioki iho la maloko o ka ipuhao ai: no ka mea, aole lakou i ike i ke ano.
40 He served the stew to the prophets, but after the men had eaten only a couple bites, they cried out, “Elisha, there is something in the pot that will kill us!” So they would not eat it.
A ninini iho la lakou na na kanaka e ai; a i ka lakou ai ana i ka ai, auwe iho la lakou, i aku la, E ke kanaka o ke Akua, he mea make iloko o ka ipuhao. Aole e hiki ia lakou ke ai.
41 Elisha said, “Bring me some flour.” [They brought him some, and] he threw it in the pot and he said, “It is all right now. You can eat it.” And they ate it, and it did not harm them.
I aku la ia, E lawe mai i palaoa; a hoolei iho la ia mea iloko o ka ipuhao, i aku la, E ninini aku na na kanaka, i ai ai lakou; aole he mea ino iloko o ka ipuhao.
42 One day a man from Baal-Shalishah [town] brought to Elisha a sack of freshly cut grain and 20 loaves of barley bread, made from the first grain that they harvested [that year]. Elisha said [to his servant], “Give it to the group of prophets, so that they can eat it.”
A hele mai la he kanaka mai Baalasalisa mai, a lawe mai i berena na ko kanaka o ke Akua no ka hunmua, he iwakalua popo bale, a me ka hua bale iloko o ka aa ona; i mai la ia, E haawi aku na na kanaka, i ai ai lakou.
43 But his servant exclaimed, “Do you think that we can feed 100 of us prophets with only that much?” [RHQ] But Elisha replied, “Give it to the prophets so that they can eat it, because Yahweh says that there will be plenty for all of them, and there will be some left over!”
I aku la kana mea lawelawe, Ka! e waiho anei au i keia mea imua o ka haneri kanaka? I hou mai la ia, E haawi aku na na kanaka, e ai ai lakou; no ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, E ai lakou, a koe no.
44 After his servant gave it to the prophets, they ate [all that they wanted], and there was food left over, just as Yahweh had promised.
A waiho iho la ia mea imua o lakou, a ai iho la lakou, a koe no, e like me ka olelo a Iehova.
