I Na Lii 16
1 A LAILA hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia Iehu ke keiki a Hanani, e ku e ana ia Baasa, i ka i ana mai,
During the time that Baasha [was king of Israel], [the prophet] Jehu, Hanani’s son, gave Baasha this message that he had received from Yahweh:
2 No ka mea, ua hookiekie ae au ia oe mai ka lepo ae, a hoolilo au ia oe i alii maluna o ko'u poe kanaka Iseraela; a ua hele hoi oe ma ka aoao o Ieroboama, a ua hoolilo ae oe i ko'u poe kanaka Iseraela e lawehala, e hoonaukiuki mai lakou ia'u me ko lakou mau hewa;
“You were very insignificant/unimportant [IDM] when I caused you to become the ruler of my Israeli people. But you have caused me to become very angry by doing [IDM] the kinds of evil things that King Jeroboam did. You have also caused me to become angry by causing my people to sin.
3 Eia hoi, e kaili ae auanei au i ka hope o Baasa a me ka hope o kana ohana, a e hoolilo ae au i kou ohana e like me ka ohana a Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata.
So now I will get rid of you and your family [MTY]. I will do to you just like I did to Jeroboam and his family.
4 O ka Baasa mea e make maloko o ke kulanakauhale, oia ka na ilio e ai ai; a o kana mea e make ma kula, oia ka na manu o ka lewa e ai ai.
[The bodies of] those in your family who die in this city [will not be buried; they] will be eaten by dogs; and [the corpses of] those who die in the fields will be eaten by vultures.”
5 A o na oihana e ae a Baasa, a me kana mea i hana'i, a me kona ikaika, aole anei ia i kakauia ma ka buke 'a na lii o ka Iseraela?
The other things that happened during the time that Baasha ruled Israel, and the things that he did, are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
6 A hiamoe iho la o Baasa me kona mau makua, a ua kanuia ma Tireza: a ua alii ae la o Ela kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.
When Baasha died, he was buried in Tirzah, [the capital city]. Then his son Elah became king.
7 Eia hoi, ma ka lima o Iehu ke kaula, ke keiki a Hanani i hiki mai ai ka Iehova olelo ku e ia Baasa, a i kana ohana hoi, no ka hewa a pau ana i hana'i imua o na maka o Iehova, e hoonaukiuki ia ia me ka hana a kona mau lima, i kona hoohalike ana me ka ohana a Ieroboama, a no kona pepehi ana ia ia.
Yahweh gave that message about Baasha and his family to the prophet Jehu. Baasha had done many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, which caused Yahweh to become angry. Baasha did the same kind of things that King Jeroboam and his family had done previously. Yahweh was also angry with Baasha because he had killed all of Jeroboam’s family.
8 I ka iwakalua kumamaono o ka makahiki o Asa ke alii o Iuda, i hoomaka ai o Ela ke keiki a Baasa i kona alii ana maluna o ka Iseraela, ma Tireza i na makahiki elua.
After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost 26 years, Elah became the king of Israel. Elah ruled in Tirzah for [only] two years.
9 A kipi ae la ia ia kana kauwa o Zimeri ka luna o ka hapalua o kona mau kaa, ia ia ma Tireza, e inu ana a ona maloko o ka hale o Areza ka puuku o kona hale ma Tireza.
[A man named] Zimri was one of Elah’s army officers. He commanded the drivers of half of Elah’s army’s (chariots/two-wheeled vehicles pulled by horses). He made plans to kill Elah while Elah was in Tirzah, getting drunk at the house of [a man named] Arza. Arza was the man who took care of the things in the king’s palace.
10 A komo ae la o Zimeri a pepehi ae la hoi ia ia, a hoomake loa ia ia, i ka iwakalua kumamahiku o ka makahiki o Asa ke alii o Iuda, a ua alii ae la oia ma kona hakahaka.
Zimri went into Arza’s house and killed Elah. Then Zimri became the king of Israel. That was when Asa had been the king of Judah for 27 years.
11 Eia hoi kekahi, ia ia i hoomaka ai i kona alii ana, a noho ia ma ka nohoalii, pepehi koke ae la oia i ka ohana a pau a Baasa: aole oia i hokoe nona i kekahi kane, o kona io, a o kona mau hanauna.
As soon as Zimri became king [MTY], he killed all of Baasha’s family [MTY]. That included every male [IDM] in Baasha’s family and all of Baasha’s male friends.
12 Pela i luku ai o Zimeri i ka ohana a pau a Baasa, e like me ka olelo a Iehova ana i olelo ku e ai ia Baasa ma ka lima o Iehu ke kaula;
That was just what Yahweh told the prophet Jehu would happen.
13 No na hewa a pau o Baasa, a no na hewa o Ela kana keiki, i lawehala ai laua, a i hoolilo ai hoi laua i ka Iseraela e lawehala, i ka hoonaukiuki ana ia Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela ma ko laua mau mea lapuwale.
Baasha and his son Elah had sinned and led the Israeli people to sin. They caused Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people worshiped, to become angry, because they both urged the people [to worship] worthless idols.
14 A o na oihana e ae a Ela, a o ka mea a pau ana i hana'i, aole anei ia i kakauia ma ka buke oihana a na lii o ka Iseraela?
Everything else that Elah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
15 I ka iwakalua kumamahiku o ka makahiki o Asa ke alii o Iuda, i alii ai o Zimeri i na la ehiku ma Tireza; a e hoomoana ku e ana na kanaka ia Gibetona o ko Pilisetia.
So Zimri became the king of Israel after Asa had been king of Judah for 27 years. But Zimri ruled in Tirzah for only seven days. The Israeli army was beseiging/surrounding Gibeah, a town which belonged to the Philistine people-group.
16 A lohe ae na kanaka hoomoana i ka olelo, ua kipi o Zimeri a ua pepehi hoi i ke alii: nolaila hooalii ae la ka Iseraela a pau ia Omeri ka alihikaua i alii maluna o ka Iseraela ia la i kahi hoomoana.
The men in the Israeli army camp heard that Zimri had secretly planned to kill King Elah, and then had killed him. So on that day the soldiers chose Omri, the commander of their army, to become the king of Israel.
17 Pii ae la o Omeri a me ka Iseraela pu a pau me ia, mai Gibetona ae, a hoopuni ae la ia Tireza.
The Israeli army was camped near Gibbethon [city]. When they heard what Zimri had done, they left there and went to Tirzah, and surrounded the city.
18 Eia hoi kekahi, i ka ike ana o Zimeri ua hoopioia ke kulanakauhale, komo ae la oia i ke keena alii o ko ke alii hale, a puhi iho la i ka hale o ke alii maluna o kona poo iho, a make iho la,
When Zimri realized that the city was [about to be] captured, he went into his palace and set it on fire. So the palace burned down, and he died [in the fire].
19 No kona mau hewa ana i hana'i, i kana hana ino ana imua o na maka o Iehova, a i kona hele ana ma ka aoao o Ieroboama, a me kona hewa ana i hana'i, i lawehala ai ka Iseraela.
He died because he had sinned by doing the things that Yahweh considered to be evil. Jeroboam had led the Israeli people to sin, and Zimri sinned just like Jeroboam had sinned.
20 A o na oihana e ae a Zimeri, a me kona kipi ana, ana i hana'i, aole anei ia i kakauia ma ka buke oihana a na lii o ka Iseraela?
All the other things that Zimri did, and the record of how he rebelled [against King Elah], are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
21 Alaila maheleia'e la na kanaka o ka Iseraela i na apana elua: hahai kekahi hapalua mamuli o Tibeni ke keiki a Ginata, e hoalii ia ia; a hahai ae la kekahi hapalua mamuli o Omeri.
After Zimri died, the Israeli people were divided. One group wanted Tibni, the son of Ginath, to be their king. The other group wanted Omri [to be the king].
22 Lanakila ae la ka poe kanaka i hahai mamuli o Omeri maluna o ka poe kanaka i hahai mamuli o Tibeni ke keiki a Ginata, a make o Tibeni, a alii ae la o Omeri.
Those who supported Omri (were stronger than/defeated) those who supported Tibni. So Tibni was killed, and Omri became king.
23 I ke kanakolu kumamakahi o ka makahiki o Asa ke alii o Iuda hoomaka ae la o Omeri i kona alii ana maluna o ka Iseraela, i na makahiki he umikumamalua: aono makahiki i alii ai oia ma Tireza.
Omri became king when Asa had been king of Judah for almost 31 years. Omri ruled Israel for 12 years. For the first six years he ruled in Tirzah.
24 Kuai lilo mai la oia me Semera, i ka puu Samaria, i na talena kala elua, a kukulu ae la maluna o ka puu, a kapa ae i ka inoa o ke kulanakauhale ana i hana'i, o Samaria, mamuli o ka inoa o Semera ka haku aina o ka puu.
Then he bought a hill from [a man named] Shemer and paid him about (150 pounds/70 kg.) of silver for it. Then Omri ordered his men to build a city on that hill, and he called it Samaria, to honor Shemer, the man who owned it previously.
25 Aka, ua hana hewa ae la o Omeri imua o na maka o Iehova, a hoopakela aku i kona hewa mamua o ka poe a pau mamua ona.
But Omri did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil deeds than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
26 No ka mea, na hele ae la oia ma na aoao a pau o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, a me kona hewa i hoolilo ai oia i ka Iseraela e lawehala, e hoonaukiuki ia Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela ma ko lakou mau mea lapuwale.
[When] Jeroboam [was previously the king, he] had led the Israeli people to sin, and Omri committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did. The Israeli people caused Yahweh, the God the Israeli people had worshiped, to become very angry, because they worshiped worthless idols.
27 A o na oihana e ae a Omeri i hana'i a me ka ikaika ana i hoike ai, aole anei ia i kakauia ma ka buke oihana o na lii o ka Iseraela?
Everything that Omri did, and the record of the victories that his [army] won, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
28 A hiamoe iho la o Omeri me kona mau makua ma Samaria, a ua alii ae la o Ahaba kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.
After Omri died, he was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab became king.
29 Hoomaka ae la o Ahaba ke keiki a Omeri i kona alii ana maluna o ka Iseraela i ke kanakolu kumamawalu o ka makahiki o Asa ke alii o Iuda; a ua alii ae la o Ahaba ke keiki a Omeri maluna o ka Iseraela ma Samaria i na makahiki he iwakalua kumamalua.
Ahab became king of Israel when Asa had ruled Judah for almost 38 years. Ahab ruled in Samaria [city] for 22 years.
30 Hoopakela ae la o Ahaba ke keiki a Omeri i ka hana hewa imua o na maka o Iehova mamua o ka poe a pau mamua ona.
Ahab did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil things than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
31 Eia hoi kekahi, me he mea la, he mea uuku nona ke hele ma na hewa o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, lawe iho la oia ia Iesebela ke kaikamahine a Etebaala ke alii o ko Sidona, i wahine, a hele hoi ia e malama ia Baala, a hoomana ae la ia ia,
He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did, but he did things that were worse than the things that Jeroboam did. He married [a woman named] Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, the king of Sidon [city]. Then Ahab started to worship Baal, [the god that the Canaan people-group worshiped].
32 Kukulu ae la oia i kuahu no Baala maloko o ka hale o Baala, ana i hana'i ma Samaria.
He built a temple in Samaria in order that the Israeli people could worship Baal there, and he put an altar there for [making sacrifices to] Baal.
33 Hana iho la o Ahaba i wahi e hoomana'i, a ua oi aku ko Ahaba hoonaukiuki ana ia Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela mamua o na alii a pau o ka Iseraela mamua ona.
He also made an idol that represented Asherah, [Baal’s wife]. He did many more things that caused Yahweh to become angry. He did more evil things than any of the previous kings of Israel had done.
34 I kona mau la hoi, kukulu ae la o Hiela no Betela ia Ieriko; a ia Abirama i kana hiapo i hoonoho ai oia i ke kumu, a ia Seguba kana keiki hope loa i kukulu ai oia i na pani; e like me ka Iehova olelo ana i olelo mai ai ma ka lima o Iosua ke keiki a Nuna.
During the years that Ahab [ruled], Hiel, a man from Bethel [city], rebuilt Jericho [city]. But when he started to rebuild the city, his oldest son Abiram died. And [when the city was finished, ] while Hiel was building the city gates, his youngest son Segub died. They died just like Yahweh had told Joshua would happen [to the sons of anyone who would rebuild Jericho].
