< 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.
And behold, by the word of the Lord, a man of God went from Judah to Bethel, when Jeroboam was standing over the altar, and burning incense.
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 by the word of the Lord, he cried out against the altar. And he said: “O altar, O altar! Thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, a son will be born to the house of David, Josiah by name. And upon you, he will immolate the priests of the high places, who now burn incense upon you. And upon you, he will burn up the bones of men.’”
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.
And he gave a sign on the same day, saying: “This will be the sign that the Lord has spoken. Behold, the altar shall be torn apart, and the ashes that are upon it shall 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.
And when the king had heard the word of the man of God, which he had cried out against the altar at Bethel, he extended his hand from the altar, saying, “Apprehend him!” But his hand, which he had extended against him, withered. And he was unable to draw it back to himself.
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.
Also, the altar was torn apart, and the ashes were poured out from the altar, in accord with the sign that the man of God had predicted 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.
And the king said to the man of God, “Entreat the face of the Lord your God, and pray for me, so that my hand may be restored to me.” And the man of God prayed before the face of the Lord, and the hand of the king was restored to him, and it became as it had been 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, so that you may dine. And I will give you gifts.”
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.
And the man of God responded to the king: “Even if you will give me one half part of your house, I will not go with you, nor eat bread, nor 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 so it was commanded to me by the word of the Lord, ordering: ‘You shall not eat bread, and you shall not drink water, nor shall you return by the way that 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.
Then he departed by another way, and he did not return along the way that he had traveled 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 elderly prophet was living in Bethel. His sons went to him, and they described to him all the works which the man of God had accomplished on that day in Bethel. And they described to their father the words that he 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.
And their father said to them, “By which way did he depart?” His sons showed him the way by which the man of God, who had come from Judah, had departed.
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.
And he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” And when they had saddled it, he climbed on,
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 he went away after the man of God. And he found him sitting under a terebinth tree. And he said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” And he responded, “I am.”
15 I aku la oia ia ia, E hele mai me au i ka hale e ai i ka berena.
And he said to him, “Come home with me, so that you may eat 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 he said: “I am not able to turn back, nor to go with you. Neither will I eat bread, or drink water 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 the Lord has spoken to me, by the word of the Lord, saying, “You shall not eat bread, and you shall not drink water in that place, nor shall you return by the way that you arrived.”
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.
And he said to him: “I, too, am a prophet like you. And an Angel spoke to me, by the word of the Lord, saying, ‘Lead him back with you to your house, so that he may eat bread, and drink water.’” And so he deceived 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.
And he led him back with him. Then he ate bread and drank water in his house.
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.
And while they were sitting at table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet who had led 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 he cried out to the man of God who had arrived from Judah, saying: “Thus says the Lord: Because you were not obedient to the mouth of the Lord, and you did not keep the commandment that the Lord your God instructed to 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.
and you turned back, and ate bread, and drank water in the place where he commanded you that you should not eat bread, nor drink water: your dead body shall not be carried back to the sepulcher 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 when he had eaten and had drunk, he saddled his donkey for the prophet whom he had led back.
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.
And when he had departed, a lion found him along the way, and it killed him, and his dead body was left upon the road. Now the donkey was standing beside him. And the lion was standing beside the dead body.
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 behold, men who were passing by saw the dead body lying in the road, with the lion standing beside the body. And they went and made it widely known in the city where that elderly prophet was living.
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.
And when that prophet, who had led him back from the way, had heard it, he said: “It is the man of God, who was disobedient to the mouth of the Lord. And the Lord has delivered him to the lion. And it has torn him apart and killed him, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke 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.
And he said to his sons, “Saddle a donkey for me.” And when they had 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 had departed, he found the dead body lying on the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside the dead body. The lion did not eat from the dead body, nor did it harm 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.
Then the prophet took the dead body of the man of God, and he placed it upon the donkey, and returning, he brought it into the city of the elderly prophet, so that he might mourn for 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!
And he placed his dead body in his own sepulcher. And they mourned for him, saying: “Alas! Alas! 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:
And when they had mourned over him, he said to his sons: “When I will have died, bury me in the sepulcher in which the man of God was buried. Place 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 certainly, the word will arrive, which he predicted by the word of the Lord, against the altar, which is in Bethel, and against all the shrines of the high places, which are in the cities of Samaria.”
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.
After these words, Jeroboam did not turn back from his very evil way. Instead, to the contrary, he made priests for the high places out of the least of the people. Whosoever was willing, he filled his hand, and he became 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 for this reason, the house of Jeroboam sinned, and was uprooted, and was wiped from the face of the earth.
