2 Kings 6
1 One day a group of prophets said to Elisha, “Look, this place where we meet together with you is very small.
OLELO aku la na haumana a ka poe kaula ia Elisai, Aia hoi, ano o kahi a kakou e noho pu nei me oe, ua pilikia ia kakou.
2 Allow us to go to the Jordan [River and cut down some trees to make] logs to build a new meeting place.” So Elisha said, “Okay, go.”
Ke noi aku nei, e ae mai oe, e hele makou i Ioredane, a e lawe kela kanaka keia kanaka, mailaila mai, i kahi laau, a e hana kakou malaila i wahi no kakou e noho ai. I mai la kela, E hele oukou.
3 One of them said to Elisha, “Please come with us.” So Elisha replied, “Okay, I will go with you.”
A i aku la kekahi, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai oe i ka hele pu me makou. I mai la ia, E hele no wau.
4 So they went together. When they reached the Jordan [River], they cut down some trees.
A hele pu aku la ia me lakou. A hiki lakou ma Ioredane, a kua laau lakou.
5 But while one of them was cutting down a tree, suddenly the axe head [separated from the handle and] fell into the water. He cried out to Elisha, “O, Master, what shall I do? [The axe is not mine]; I borrowed it!”
A i ke kua laau ana a kekahi, poholo aku la ke koi iloko o ka wai: auwe iho la ia, i aku la, Auwe, e ka haku! no ka mea, no hai ia mea.
6 Elisha replied, “Where did it fall into the water?” After the man showed him the place, Elisha cut off a stick, and threw it into the water, and caused the iron axe head to float [on top of the water].
Ninau aku la ke kanaka o ke Akua, Mahea i poholo ai? Hoike mai la ia i kahi. A oki iho la ia i kahi laau, a hoolei iho la malaila, a laua mai ke koi.
7 Elisha said, “Take it out of the water.” So the man reached his hand down and picked up the axe head.
I aku la ia ia, E lawe mai ia nou. Kikoo aku la kona lima, a lawe mai ia mea.
8 Whenever the king of Syria [prepared to send his army to] fight against Israel, he first consulted his officers, and then told them where they should set up their tents.
A kaua mai ke alii o Suria i ka Iseraela, a olelo pu ia me kana poe kauwa, i aku la, Ma kela wahi ka'u e hoomoana'i.
9 But each time, Elisha would send a message to warn the king of Israel, [telling him where the army of Syria was planning to attack them, ] saying, “Be sure that your army does not go near that place, because the army of Syria has set up their tents there.”
A hoouna aku la ke kanaka o ke Akua i ke alii o ka Iseraela, i aku la, E malama oe, mai hele oe ma kela wahi; no ka mea, ua iho mai ko Suria malaila.
10 So the king of Israel would send [messengers] to warn [the people who lived in] that place, and the people would remain on guard. That happened several times.
Hoouna aku la ke alii o ka Iseraela i kela wahi a ke kanaka o ke Akua i hai mai ai ia ia, a i hoakaka mai ai ia ia, a malama kela ia ia iho malaila, aole i kekahi manawa, aole hoi i elua wale no.
11 The king of Syria was very upset/disturbed/angry about that. So he summoned his army officers and said to them, “[Obviously] one of you is (betraying us/revealing our plans) to the king of Israel. Which one of you is doing it?”
A pihoihoi ka naau o ke alii o Suria uo keia mea; a kahea aku la ia i kana poe kauwa, i aku la ia lakou, Aole anei oukou e hai mai ia'u, owai ka mea o kakou i launa pu me ke alii o ka Iseraela?
12 One of his officers answered, “Your Majesty, it is not one of us. Elisha the prophet [knows what we plan to do, and he] tells the king of Israel everything. He even knows what you say in your own bedroom!”
I mai la kekahi o na kauwa, Aole, e kuu haku e ke alii; aka, o Elisai ke kaula iloko o ka Iseraela, ka mea nana e hai aku i ke alii o ka Iseraela i na mea au i olelo ai maloko o kou keena moe.
13 The king of Syria replied, “Go and find out where he is, and I will send [some men there] to capture him.” Someone told him, “People say that he is in Dothan [town north of Samaria].”
I aku la ia, E hele oukou a ike i kona wahi, i hoouna aku ai au e kii ia ia. A haiia mai ia ia, Aia no ia ma Dotana.
14 So the king sent a large group of soldiers [to Dothan] with horses and chariots. They arrived at night and surrounded the town.
Hoouna aku la ia malaila i na lio, a me na halekaa, a me ka poe koa, he nui: a hele aku lakou i ka po, a hoopuni ae la i ke kulanakauhale.
15 Early the next morning, Elisha’s servant got up and went outside the house. He saw the soldiers of Syria with their horses and chariots surrounding the town. So he went inside [the house and reported it to Elisha] and exclaimed, “O, sir! What are we going to do?”
A i ke ala ana o ke kauwa a ke kanaka o ke Akua i kakahiaka nui, a hele iwaho, aia hoi, ua puni ke kulanakauhale i ka poe kaua, i na lio, a me na halekaa: i aku la kana kauwa ia ia, Auwe, e kuu haku! pehea la e hanaia'i?
16 Elisha replied, “Do not be afraid! Those who will be helping us will be more than those who will be helping them!”
I mai la ia, Mai makau oe; no ka mea, ua oi aku ka poe me kakou, mamua o ka poe me lakou.
17 Then he prayed, “Yahweh, I request that you open my servant’s eyes in order that he can see [what is out there]!” So Yahweh enabled the servant to look out and see that surrounding the hill on which the town [was built] was a huge number of horses, and chariots made of fire!
A pule aku la o Elisai, i aku la, E Iehova, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e wehe ae oe i kona maka, i ike ia. A wehe ae la o Iehova i na maka o ke kanaka opiopio, a ike aku la ia, aia hoi, na paapu ka mauna i na lio, a me na halekaa ahi, a puni o Elisai.
18 When the army of Syria prepared to attack Elisha, he prayed again, saying, “Yahweh, cause all these soldiers to become blind!” Yahweh answered his prayer and caused them to be unable to see clearly.
A iho mai lakou io na la, pule aku la o Elisai ia Iehova, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hahau mai oe i keia poe kanaka i ka makapo. A hahau mai la ia ia lakou i ka makapo, e like me ka olelo a Elisai.
19 Then Elisha went to them and said, “You are not on the right road; this is not the city that you are searching for. I will take you to the man whom you are searching for.” But he led them to Samaria, [the capital of Israel]!
I aku la o Elisai ia lakou, Aole keia ke ala, aole hoi keia ke kulanakauhale; e hahai oukou ia'u, a e alakai aku au ia oukou i ke kanaka a oukou e imi nei; aka, alakai no ia ia lakou i Samaria.
20 As soon as they entered Samaria, Elisha prayed again, saying, “Yahweh, now enable these soldiers to see correctly again!” So Yahweh enabled them to see correctly, and they were surprised to see that they were inside Samaria [city].
A hiki lakou i Samaria, i aku la o Elisai, E Iehova, e hookaakaa ae oe i ko lakou nei maka, i ike ai lakou. A hookaakaa ae la o Iehova i ko lakou maka, a ike lakou, aia hoi lakou iwaena konu o Samaria.
21 When the king of Israel saw them, he said to Elisha, “Sir, shall I [tell my soldiers to] kill them? Shall we kill all of them?”
I mai la ke alii o ka Iseraela ia Elisai, i kona ike ana ia lakou, E kuu makua, e pepehi anei au? e pepehi anei au ia lakou?
22 Elisha replied, “No, you must not kill them. If your army captured many of your enemies in a battle, you would certainly not [RHQ] kill them. Give these men something to eat and drink, and then allow them to return to their king.”
I aku la ia, Mai pepehi oe: e pono anei e pepehi i na mea au i lawe pio ai mo kau pahikaua a me kou kakaka? E kau i ka ai, a me ka wai imua o lakou, i ai ai lakou, a i inu hoi, a hoi aku i ko lakou haku.
23 So the king of Israel did that. He told his servants to provide a big feast for them. And when they had eaten and drunk plenty, he sent them away. They returned to the king of Syria [and told him what had happened]. So for a while after that, soldiers from Syria stopped raiding/attacking towns in Israel.
A hoomakaukau iho la ia i ahaaina nui na lakou, a pau ka lakou ai ana, a me ka inu ana, hookuu aku la ia ia lakou, a hele aku la lakou i ko lakou haku. Aole i hele hou mai ka poe hao wale o Suria i ka aina o ka Iseraela.
24 But some time later, Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, assembled his entire army, and they went to Samaria and surrounded the city [for a long time].
A mahope iho hoakoakoa ae la o Benehadada, ke alii o Suria, i kona poe kaua a pau, a pii mai la e hoopilikia i Samaria.
25 Because of that, after a while there was hardly any food left inside the city, with the result that eventually a donkey’s head, [which was usually worthless, ] cost eighty pieces of silver, and (one cup/0.3 liter) of dove’s dung cost five pieces of silver.
A ua wi nui iloko o Samaria: aia hoi hoopilikia lakou ia, a kuaiia ke poo o ka hoki i kanawalu sekela kala, a hookahi hapaha o ke kaba lepo manu nunu i na sekela kala elima.
26 One day when the king of Israel was walking on top of the city wall, a woman cried out to him, “Your Majesty, help me!”
A i ka hele ana ae o ke alii o ka Iseraela maluna o ka papohaku, kahea mai la kekahi wahine ia ia, i mai la, E kokua mai, e kuu haku, e ke alii.
27 He replied, “If Yahweh will not help you, I certainly cannot [RHQ] help you. I certainly [RHQ] do not have any wheat or wine!
I aku la ia, a i ole o Iehova e kokua mai ia oe, ma ka mea hea anei e kokua aku ai au ia oe? ma kahi e hehi ai i ka palaoa anei, a ma kahi e kaomi ai i ka waina anei?
28 What is your problem?” She replied, “Several days ago, that woman [over there] said to me, ‘[Because we have nothing left to eat, ] let’s kill your son today, in order that we can eat his flesh. Then tomorrow we can [kill] my son [and] eat his flesh.’
Ninau aku ke alii ia ia, Heaha kau? I mai la kela, Ua i mai keia wahine ia'u, E haawi mai i kau keiki, i ai iho ai kaua i keia la, a e ai iho kaua i ka'u keiki i ka la apopo.
29 So we [killed my son and cut his body up and] boiled his flesh and ate it. The next day, I said to her, ‘Now give your son to me, in order that we can [kill him and cook his flesh and] eat it.’ But she has hidden her son!”
Hoolapalapa iho la maua i ka'u keiki, a ua ai iho, a i aku la au ia ia i kekahi la, e haawi mai oe i kau keiki; a ua huna ia i kana keiki.
30 When the king heard what the woman said, he tore his robe [to show that he was very distressed]. The people who were standing close to the wall were able to see that the king was wearing rough cloth underneath his robe [because he was very distressed].
A lohe ae la ke alii i ka olelo a ka wahine, haehae iho la ia i kona aahu; a hele ae la ia maluna o ka papohaku, a nana mai la na kanaka, aia hoi, he kapa inoino maluna o kona kino maloko.
31 The king exclaimed, “I wish/hope that God will strike me dead if I do not cut off the head of Elisha today, [because he is the one who has caused these terrible things to happen to us]!”
I aku la ia, E hana mai ke Akua ia'u pela, a e oi aku hoi, ke waihoia ko poo o Elisai, ke keiki a Sapata, maluna ona i keia la.
32 So the king sent an officer to get Elisha. Before the officer arrived, Elisha was sitting in his house with some Israeli elders who were talking with him. Elisha said to them, “That murderer, [the king of Israel, ] is sending someone here to kill me. Listen: When he arrives, shut the door and do not allow him to come in. And the king will be coming right behind that officer!”
A e noho ana o Elisai iloko o kona hale, a e noho pu ana me ia na lunakahiko; a hoouna aku ke alii i ke kanaka mai kona alo aku: aka, mamua o ka hiki ana'ku o ke elele io na la, i mai la ia i na lunakahiko, E nana oukou ua hoouna mai nei keia keiki a ka mea pepehi kanaka e lawe i kuu poo: e nana, i ka manawa e hele mai ai ke elele, e pani aku i ka puka, a e hoopaa aku oukou ia ia ma ka puka: aole anei e kani ana na wawae o kona haku mahope ona?
33 And while he was still speaking, the king and the officer arrived. The king said, “It is Yahweh who has caused us to have all this trouble/suffering. (Why should I wait any longer [RHQ] for him to do something [to help us]?/It is useless for me to wait any longer for him [to help us]!)”
A i kana kamailio ana me lakou, aia hoi, hiki mai ke elele io na la, i mai la, Aia hoi, no Iehova mai keia ino; no ke aha la au e kali hou aku ai ia Iehova?
