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.
The Lord ordered a man of God from Judah to go to Bethel. He arrived just as Jeroboam was standing beside the altar about to present a burnt offering.
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.
He shouted out the Lord's condemnation of the altar: “Altar, altar, this is what the Lord says. A son will be born to the house of David. His name will be Josiah, and on you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn offerings on you, and human bones will be burned on 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.
The same day the man of God gave a sign, saying, “This is the sign to prove that the Lord has spoken. Look! The altar will be split apart, and the ashes on it will spill 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.
When King Jeroboam heard the condemnation the man of God had shouted out against the altar in Bethel, he pointed his hand at him and said, “Arrest him!” But the hand the king had pointed at him had become paralyzed and he couldn't draw 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.
The altar split apart, and the ashes spilled out from it, fulfilling the sign that the man of God had given from 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 said to the man of God, “Please plead with the Lord your God—pray for me that I may have my hand back!” The man of God pleaded with the Lord, and the king was given back the use of his hand 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 to my home and have a meal so I can give you a present.”
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 told the king, “Even if you gave me half of everything you own, I still wouldn't go with you. In fact I refuse to eat or drink anything 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.
The Lord ordered me not to eat or drink anything, and not to return by the way I 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 he went a different way—he did not return 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.
It so happened that an old prophet lived in Bethel. His sons came and told him everything the man of God had done that day in Bethel. They also told their father what the man had said 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 them. So his sons showed him the way taken by the man of God 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.
“Saddle up a donkey for me,” he told his sons. They saddled up a donkey and he got 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.
He rode after the man of God and found him sitting under an oak tree. “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” he asked him. “Yes I am,” the man replied.
15 I aku la oia ia ia, E hele mai me au i ka hale e ai i ka berena.
“Come home with me and have something to eat,” he told him.
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.
“I can't turn around and go with you, and I won't eat or drink with you in this place,” the man of God replied.
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.
“The Lord ordered me, saying ‘You must not eat or drink anything 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.
But the old prophet told him, “I am also a prophet, just like you. An angel told me God said, ‘Take him home with you so that he can have something to eat and drink’” But he 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.
So the man of God went back with him, and ate and drank 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.
As they were sitting at the table, a message from 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,
He called out to the man of God who had come from Judah, “This is what the Lord says: Because you have disobeyed the word of the Lord and have not followed the orders 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.
instead you went back and ate and drank in the place where he told you not to, your body will not be buried in 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.
After the man of God had finished eating and drinking, the prophet who had brought him back saddled his own 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.
But as he went on his way a lion came across him on the road and killed him. His body was left lying in the road, with both 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.
Some passers-by saw the body lying in the road with the lion standing beside it, so they went and let people know about it in the town 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 old prophet who had led the other astray heard what had happened, he said, “It's the man of God who disobeyed the Lord's orders. That's why the Lord put him in the path of the lion, and it has mauled him and killed him, just as the Lord told him would happen.”
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.
The prophet told his sons, “Saddle up a donkey for me.” So they saddled a donkey,
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. It was still lying in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it. The lion had not eaten the body or attacked 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.
The prophet picked up the body of the man of God, placed it on the donkey, and brought it back to his own town to mourn over 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!
He laid the body in his own tomb, and they mourned over him, crying, “My poor 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'd buried him, he told his sons, “When I die, bury me in the grave 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 from the Lord that he gave in condemnation against the altar in Bethel, and against all the shrines on the high places in the towns of Samaria, will definitely happen.”
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.
But even after all this, Jeroboam did not change his evil ways. He went on choosing priests from all kinds of people. He appointed anyone who wanted 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.
This was because of this sin that the house of Jeroboam was wiped out, completely destroyed from the face of the earth.
