< 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.
A man of God came out of Judah by the word of Yahweh to Bethel. Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn 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.
He cried against the altar by the word of Yahweh: “Altar, altar! This is what Yahweh says, 'See, a son named Josiah will be born to the family of David, and on you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who now burn incense on you. On you they will burn human bones.'”
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.
Then the man of God gave a sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign that Yahweh has spoken: 'Look, the altar will be split apart, and the ashes on 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.
When the king heard what the man of God said, that he had cried out against the altar at Bethel, Jeroboam reached out with his hand from the altar, saying, “Seize him.” Then the hand with which he had reached out against the man dried up, so that he could not 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.
(The altar was also split apart and the ashes poured out from the altar, as described by the sign that the man of God had given by the word of Yahweh.)
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.
King Jeroboam answered and said to the man of God, “Plead for the favor of Yahweh your God and pray for me, so that my hand may be restored to me again.” So the man of God prayed to Yahweh, and the king's hand was restored to him again, and it became 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.
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.
The man of God said to the king, “Even if you give me half your possessions, I will not go with you, nor will I eat food 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.
because Yahweh commanded me by his word, 'You will eat no bread nor drink water, nor 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.
So the man of God left another way and did not return to his home by the way that 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 there was an old prophet living in Bethel, and one of his sons came and told him all the things that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. His sons also told him the words that the man of God 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.
Their father said to them, “Which way did he go?” Now his sons had seen the way the man of God from Judah had gone.
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 he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled the donkey and he rode off on 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.
The old prophet went after the man of God and found him sitting under an oak tree; and he said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” He answered, “I am.”
15 I aku la oia ia ia, E hele mai me au i ka hale e ai i ka berena.
Then the old prophet said to him, “Come home with me and eat food.”
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.
The man of God answered, “I may not return with you nor go in with you, neither will I eat food nor 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.
because it was commanded to me by the word of Yahweh, 'You will eat no food nor drink water there, nor return by the way that 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.
So the old prophet said to him, “I also am a prophet as you are, and an angel spoke to me by the word of Yahweh, saying, 'Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat food and drink water.'” But he was lying to the man of God.
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 the old prophet and ate food 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.
As they sat at the table, the word of Yahweh 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 he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “Yahweh says, 'Because you have been disobedient to the word of Yahweh and have not kept the command that Yahweh 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 came back and have eaten food and drunk water in the place about which Yahweh told you to eat no food and drink no water, 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 he had eaten food and after he had drunk, the prophet saddled the donkey of the man of God, the man who had come back with 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.
When the man of God was gone, a lion met him on the road and killed him, and his body was left on the road. Then the donkey stood by it, and the lion also stood by the 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.
When men passed by and saw the body left on the road, and the lion standing by the body, they came and told it 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 the way heard it, he said, “It is the man of God who disobeyed the word of Yahweh. Therefore Yahweh gave him to the lion, which tore him to pieces and killed him, just as the word of Yahweh warned 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.
So the old prophet spoke to his sons, saying, “Saddle my donkey,” and 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.
He went and found the body left in the road, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body. The lion had not eaten the body, nor 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 took up the body of the man of God, laid it on the donkey, and brought it back. He came to his own city to mourn and to 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 grave, and they mourned over him, saying, “Woe, 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:
Then after he had buried him, the old prophet spoke to his sons, saying, “When I am dead, bury me in the tomb in which 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 he declared by the word of Yahweh, against the altar in Bethel and against all the houses on the high places in the cities of Samaria, will certainly 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.
After this Jeroboam did not turn from his evil way, but continued to appoint common priests for the high places from among all sorts of people. Any who would serve he consecrated as a priest.
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 matter became sin to the family of Jeroboam and caused his family to be destroyed and to be exterminated from the face of the earth.
