< I Na Lii 13 >
1 A IA hoi, hele ae la ke kanaka o ke Akua mailoko ae o Iuda ma ka olelo a Iehova, i Betela, e ku ana o Ieroboama ma ke kuahu e kuni i ka mea ala.
Suddenly, as Jeroboam was standing beside the altar to burn incense, there came a man of God from Judah to Bethel by the word of the LORD.
2 Kahea aku la oia i ke kuahu ma ka olelo a Iehova, i aku la, E ke kuahu, ke kuahu, ke i mai nei Iehova penei, Aia hoi, e hanau ana ke keiki na ka ohana a Davida, o Iosia kona inoa; a maluna iho ou e kaumaha ai oia i na kahuna pule o na wahi kiekie i kukuni i ka mea ala maluna ou, a e puhiia na iwi kanaka maluna iho ou.
And he cried out against the altar by the word of the LORD, “O altar, O altar, this is what the LORD says: ‘A son named Josiah will be born to the house of David, and upon you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense upon you, and human bones will be burned upon you.’”
3 A haawi ae la i ka hoailona ia la, i ae la, Eia ka hoailona a Iehova i olelo mai ai; Aia hoi, e naha ana ke kuahu, e helelei iho ka lehu, ka mea maluna ona.
That day the man of God gave a sign, saying, “The LORD has spoken this sign: ‘Surely the altar will be split apart, and the ashes upon it will be poured out.’”
4 Eia kekahi, i ka lohe ana o ke alii i ka olelo a ke kanaka o ke Akua, ka mea i kahea i ke kuahu, ma Betela, kikoo aku la o Ieroboama i kona lima mai ke kuahu aku, e i ana, E lalau ia ia. A maloo ae la kona lima ana i kikoo ai ia ia, aole hiki ia ia ke hoihoi ia ia iho.
Now when King Jeroboam, who was at the altar in Bethel, heard the word that the man of God had cried out against it, he stretched out his hand and said, “Seize him!” But the hand he stretched out toward him withered, so that he could not pull it back.
5 A ua naha ae la ke kuahu, a ua helelei iho ka lehu mai ke kuahu iho, e like me ka hoailona a ke kanaka o ke Akua i haawi ai, ma ka olelo a Iehova.
And the altar was split apart, and the ashes poured out, according to the sign that the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.
6 Olelo mai la hoi ke alii, i mai la i ke kanaka o ke Akua, E nonoi aku oe i ka maka o Iehova kou Akua, a e pule aku no'u, i hoola hou ia mai ko'u lima no'u. A nonoi aku la ke kanaka o ke Akua ia Iehova, a ua hoola hou ia ko ke alii lima nona, a lilo hoi ia e like me mamua.
Then the king responded to the man of God, “Intercede with the LORD your God and pray that my hand may be restored.” So the man of God interceded with the LORD, and the king’s hand was restored to him as it was before.
7 Olelo mai la hoi ke alii i ke kanaka o ke Akua, E hele mai oe me au i ka hale, a e hooluolu ia oe iho, a e haawi aku au i ka makana nou.
Then the king said to the man of God, “Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.”
8 I aku la ua kanaka la o ke Akua i ke alii, Ina e haawi mai oe i ka hapalua o kou hale ia'u, aole au e komo me oe, aole hoi au e ai i ka berena, aole hoi au e inu i ka wai ma keia wahi.
But the man of God replied, “If you were to give me half your possessions, I still would not go with you, nor would I eat bread or drink water in this place.
9 No ka mea, pela no i kauohaia mai ai au ma ka olelo a Iehova, i ka i ana mai, Mai ai i ka berena aole hoi e inu i ka wai, aole hoi e hoi mai ma ke ala ou i hele aku ai.
For this is what I was commanded by the word of the LORD: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water or return by the way you came.’”
10 Pela hoi i hele ai oia ma ke ala e, aole i hoi mai ma ke ala i hele aku ai oia i Betela.
So the man of God went another way and did not return by the way he had come to Bethel.
11 E noho ana kekahi kaula kahiko ma Betela, a hele mai la kana mau keiki, a hai mai la ia ia i na hana a pau a ke kanaka o ke Akua i hana'i ia la ma Betela; o na olelo ana i olelo ai i ke alii, oia ka lakou i hai ai i ko lakou makuakane.
Now a certain old prophet was living in Bethel, and his sons came and told him all the deeds that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. They also told their father the words that the man had spoken to the king.
12 A olelo aku la ko lakou makuakane ia lakou, Ma ke ala hea i hele ai ia? Ua ike hoi kana mau keiki i ke ala i hele ai ke kanaka o ke Akua, i ka mea i hele mai, mai Iuda mai.
“Which way did he go?” their father asked. And his sons showed him the way taken by the man of God, who had come from Judah.
13 I aku la hoi oia i kana mau keiki, E kau aku i ka noholio maluna o ka hoki no'u. Kau aku la hoi lakou i ka noho maluna o ka hoki nona, a holo oia maluna iho.
So the prophet said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” Then they saddled the donkey for him, and he mounted it
14 Hahai aku la oia mamuli o ke kanaka o ke Akua, a loaa oia ia ia e noho ana malalo ae o ka laau oka; a i aku la oia ia ia, O oe anei ke kanaka o ke Akua i hele mai mai Iuda mai? I mai la oia, Owau no.
and went after the man of God. He found him sitting under an oak tree and asked, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” “I am,” he replied.
15 I aku la oia ia ia, E hele mai me au i ka hale e ai i ka berena.
So the prophet said to the man of God, “Come home with me and eat some bread.”
16 I mai la hoi oia, Aole e hiki ia'u ke hoi aku me oe, aole hoi au e ai i ka berena, aole hoi e inu i ka wai i keia wahi.
But the man replied, “I cannot return with you or eat bread or drink water with you in this place.
17 No ka mea, ua oleloia mai ia'u ma ka olelo a Iehova, Mai ai i ka berena, aole hoi e inu i ka wai malaila, aole hoi e hoi mai ma ke ala ou e hele aku ai.
For I have been told by the word of the LORD: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water there or return by the way you came.’”
18 Olelo aku la oia, He kaula no hoi au e like me oe, a ua olelo mai nei ka anela ia'u ma ka olelo a Iehova, i mai la, E hoihoi mai oe ia ia me oe iloko o kou hale e ai oia i ka berena, a inu hoi i ka wai. Hoopunipuni mai no ia ia ia.
Then the prophet replied, “I too am a prophet like you, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying, ‘Bring him back with you to your house, so that he may eat bread and drink water.’” The old prophet was lying to him,
19 Pela ia i hoi ai me ia, a ai iho la i ka berena maloko o kona hale, a ua inu hoi i ka wai.
but the man of God went back with him, ate bread in his house, and drank water.
20 Eia kekahi, i ko laua noho ana, i ka papaaina, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova i ke kaula nana ia i hoihoi mai.
While they were sitting at the table, the word of the LORD came to the prophet who had brought him back,
21 A kahea aku la oia i ke kanaka o ke Akua i hele aku mai Iuda aku, i aku la, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, No ka mea, ua hookuli oe i ka waha o Iehova, aole oe i malama i ke kauoha a Iehova kou Akua i kauoha mai ai ia oe,
and the prophet cried out to the man of God who had come from Judah, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Because you have defied the word of the LORD and have not kept the commandment that the LORD your God gave you,
22 Aka, ua hoi mai nei oe, a ua ai oe i ka berena, a ua inu hoi i ka wai ma keia wahi i olelo ai oia ia oe, Mai ai oe i ka berena, mai inu oe i ka wai; aole e hiki kou kupapau i ka halekupapau o kou mau makua.
but you went back and ate bread and drank water in the place where He told you not to do so, your body shall never reach the tomb of your fathers.’”
23 Eia hoi kekahi, mahope iho o kana ai ana i ka berena, a mahope iho o kona inu ana, kau aku la oia i ka noholio maluna o ka hoki nona, no ke kaula ana i hoihoi mai ai.
And after the man of God had finished eating and drinking, the old prophet who had brought him back saddled the donkey for him.
24 A hele ae ia, halawai ka liona me ia, a pepehi mai la ia ia: a ua hooleiia kona kupapau ma ke alanui; a ku mai la ka hoki kokoke ia ia, a o ka liona kekahi i ku mai kokoke i ke kupapau.
As he went on his way, a lion met him on the road and killed him, and his body was left lying in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it.
25 Aia hoi, maalo ae la na kanaka a ike ae la hoi i ke kupapau, i hooleiia i ke alanui, a e ku ana hoi ka liona kokoke i ke kupapau; a hele lakou a hai ma ke kulanakauhale i noho ai ke kaula elemakule.
And there were men passing by who saw the body lying in the road with the lion standing beside it, and they went and reported this in the city where the old prophet lived.
26 A i ka lohe ana o ke kaula nana ia i hoihoi ae mai ke ala ae, olelo ae la oia, O ke kanaka o ke Akua ia, ka mea i malama ole i ka olelo a Iehova; a ua haawi ae nei o Iehova ia ia i ka liona ka mea nana ia i uhae a i pepehi hoi, e like me ka olelo a Iehova ana i olelo mai ai ia ia.
When the prophet who had brought him back from his journey heard this, he said, “It is the man of God who disobeyed the command of the LORD. Therefore the LORD has delivered him to the lion, and it has mauled him and killed him, according to the word that the LORD had spoken to him.”
27 Kauoha ae la hoi oia i kana mau keiki, i ae la, E kau i ka noholio maluna o ka hoki no'u; kau aku la hoi lakou i ka noholio.
Then the old prophet instructed his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled it,
28 Holo aku la ia a loaa ia ia kona kupapau i hooleiia ma ke alanui, e ku ana no ka hoki a me ka liona kokoke i ke kupapau: aole i ai ka liona i ke kupapau, aole hoi i uhae aku i ka hoki.
and he went and found the body lying in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it. The lion had not eaten the body or mauled the donkey.
29 Hapai ae la ke kaula i ke kupapau o ke kanaka o ke Akua, a kau aku la ia ia maluna o ka hoki, a hoihoi mai ia ia: a hoi mai hoi ke kaula elemakule i ke kulanakauhale, e uwe ae, a e kanu hoi ia ia.
So the old prophet lifted up the body of the man of God, laid it on the donkey, and brought it back to his own city to mourn for him and bury him.
30 Hoomoe iho la oia i kona kupapau iloko o kona luakupapau iho, a uwe ae lakou ia ia, e olelo ana, Auwe kuu hoahanau!
Then he laid the body in his own tomb, and they lamented over him, “Oh, my brother!”
31 Eia hoi kekahi, mahope iho o kona kanu ana ia ia, olelo ae la oia i kana mau keiki, i ae la, Aia make au, e kanu iho oukou ia'u maloko o ka halekupapau, kahi i kanuia'i ke kanaka o ke Akua, e waiho pu iho i ko'u mau iwi me kona mau iwi:
After he had buried him, the prophet said to his sons, “When I die, you must bury me in the tomb where the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside his bones,
32 No ka mea, o ka olelo ana i hea ku e aku ai i ke kuahu ma Betela ma ka olelo a Iehova, a i na hale a pau o na wahi kiekie maloko o na kulanakauhale o Samaria, e ko io auanei no ia.
for the message that he cried out by the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel and against all the shrines on the high places in the cities of Samaria will surely come to pass.”
33 Mahope ae o keia mea, aole i huli ae o Ieroboama mai kona aoao hewa ae, aka, hoolilo ae la oia i na makaainana, i mau kahuna pule no na wahi kiekie; o ka mea makemake, oia kana i hoolaa ai, a lilo ia i kahuna no na wahi kiekie.
Even after these events, Jeroboam did not repent of his evil ways, but again he appointed priests for the high places from every class of people. He ordained anyone who desired to be a priest of the high places.
34 A lilo keia mea i hewa no ka ohana a Ieroboama, e oki aku ai, a e luku aku ai hoi ia mai ka ili o ka honua aku.
And this was the sin of the house of Jeroboam that led to its extermination and destruction from the face of the earth.
