I Na Lii 18
1 EIA kekahi, a i na la he nui, hiki mai la ka olelo a ke Akua ia Elia i ke kolu o ka makahiki, i ka i ana mai, E hele, a e hoike ia oe iho ia Ahaba; a e hoohaule au i ka ua maluna o ka ill o ka honua.
After many days, the word of the Lord came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, “Go and show yourself to Ahab, so that I may grant rain upon the face of the earth.”
2 Hele ae la hoi o Elia e hoike ia ia iho ia Ahaba: a he wi nui ma Samaria.
Therefore, Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. For there was a severe famine in Samaria.
3 Kahea ae la o Ahaba ia Obadia, ka luna o kona hale. (He weliweli nui ko Obadia ia Iehova:
And Ahab called Obadiah, the manager of his household. Now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly.
4 A o keia hoi, i ka pepehi ana o Iezebela i na kaula o Iehova, lawe ae la o Obadia i na kaula hookahi haneri, a huna papakanalima ae ia lakou iloko o ke ana, a hanai ae la ia lakou me ka berena a me ka wai.)
For when Jezebel was killing the prophets of the Lord, he took one hundred prophets, and concealed them, fifty and fifty, in caves. And he fed them with bread and water.
5 I mai la hoi o Ahaba ia Obadia, E hele oe ma ka aina i na kumu wai a pau, a me na kahawai a pau; e loaa paha uanei ia kaua ka mauu e malama ai i na lio me na hoki i ola, o hoonele ia kaua iho i na holoholona a pau.
Then Ahab said to Obadiah, “Go into the land, to all fountains of water, and to all the valleys, for perhaps we will be able to find plants, and save the horses and mules, so that the beasts of burden may not perish entirely.”
6 Mahele ae la hoi laua i ka aina e pau ia i ka heleia. Hele ae la o Ahaba ma kekahi aoao, oia iho no; a hele ae la hoi o Obadia ma kekahi aoao, oia iho no.
And they divided the regions among themselves, so that they might travel through them. Ahab went one way alone, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
7 Oiai o Obadia ma ke alanui, aia hoi, halawai mai la me ia o Elia: a ike hoi oia ia ia, moe iho la oia ilalo ke alo, i aku la, O oe no anei keia haku o'u, o Elia?
And while Obadiah was on the way, Elijah met him. And when he had recognized him, he fell on his face, and he said, “Are you not my lord Elijah?”
8 I mai la oia ia ia, Owau no: e hele oe e hai aku i ko'u haku, Aia hoi o Elia.
And he responded to him: “I am. Go and tell your lord that Elijah is here.”
9 I aku la hoi kela, O ke aha la ko'u hewa e haawi ai oe i kau kauwa i ka lima o Ahaba e pepehi mai ia'u?
And he said: “How have I sinned that you would deliver me, your servant, into the hand of Ahab, so that he would put me to death?
10 Ma ke ola ana o Iehova kou Akua, aohe lahuikanaka, aohe aupuni, kahi i hoouna ole aku ai kuu haku e imi ia oe ilaila: a i ka lakou olelo ana, Aole ia, lawe oia i ka hoohiki ana i ke Akua, o ia aupuni a me ia lahuikanaka, i ka loaa ole ana ou ia lakou.
As the Lord your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom to which my lord has not sent, seeking you. And when all responded, ‘He is not here,’ he swore each kingdom and nation to an oath, because you were not found at all.
11 Ano hoi, ke olelo nei oe, E hele e hai aku i ko'u haku, Aia hoi o Elia!
And now, you say to me, ‘Go and tell your lord that Elijah is here.’
12 Eia hoi auanei keia, a hala au mai ou aku nei, e lawe aku ka Uhane o Iehova ia oe ma kahi e ike ole ai au; a hele au e hai aku ia Ahaba, aole hoi e loaa oe ia ia, e pepehi mai auanei oia ia'u; aka, ke weliweli nei au kau kauwa ia Iehova mai ko'u wa kamalii mai.
And when I will have departed from you, the Spirit of the Lord will transport you to a place that I do not know. And entering, I will report to Ahab. And he, not finding you, will put me to death. Yet your servant has feared the Lord from his infancy.
13 Aole anei i haiia i ko'u haku ka mea a'u i hana aku ai i ka wa i pepehi ai o Iezebela i na kaula o Iehova, o ko'u huna ana'e i hookahi haneri kanaka o ko Iehova poe kaula, papakanalima ma ke ana, a hanai aku ia lakou me ka berena a me ka wai?
Has it not been revealed to you, my lord, what I did when Jezebel was killing the prophets of the Lord: how I hid one hundred men from the prophets of the Lord, fifty and fifty, in caves, and how I fed them with bread and water?
14 Ano hoi, ke olelo mai nei oe, E hele e hai aku i ko'u haku, Aia hoi o Elia! a e pepehi mai no oia ia'u.
And now you say: ‘Go and tell your lord that Elijah is here,’ so that he may kill me!”
15 I mai la hoi o Elia, Ma ke ola ana o Iehova o na kaua, imua ona e ku nei au, e hoike io aku no au ia'u iho ia ia i keia la.
And Elijah said, “As the Lord of hosts lives, before whose face I stand, this day I will appear to him.”
16 Hele aku la hoi o Obadia e halawai me Ahaba, a hai aku la hoi ia ia; a hele mai la o Ahaba e halawai me Elia.
Therefore, Obadiah went away to meet Ahab, and he reported to him. And Ahab went to meet Elijah.
17 Eia kekahi, i ka wa i ike ai o Ahaba ia Elia, i mai la o Ahaba ia ia, O oe no anei ka mea i hoopilikia i ka Iseraela?
And when he had seen him, he said, “Are you the one who is disturbing Israel?”
18 I aku la hoi oia, Aole na'u i hoopilikia i ka Iseraela, aka, nau, a na ka ohana a kou makuakane, i ko oukou haalele ana i na kauoha a Iehova, a ua hahai hoi oe mamuli o na Baala.
And he said: “I have not troubled Israel. But it is you, and the house of your father, who have abandoned the commandments of the Lord, and have followed the Baals.
19 Ano hoi e kii aku oe e hoakoakoa mai i ka Iseraela a pau io'u nei, ma ka mauna Karemela, a me na kaula o Baala eha haneri me kanalima, a me na kaula o na wahi e hoomana'i eha haneri, ka poe e ai ana ma ka papaaina a Iezebela.
Yet truly now, send and gather to me all of Israel, on Mount Carmel, with the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal, and the four hundred prophets of the sacred groves, who eat from the table of Jezebel.”
20 Pela hoi, kii aku la o Ahaba i na mamo a pau a Iseraela, a hoakoakoa mai la i na kaula ma ka mauna Karemela,
Ahab sent to all the sons of Israel, and he gathered together the prophets on mount Carmel.
21 Hele mai la hoi o Elia i ka poe kanaka a pau, i mai la hoi, Pehea la ka loihi o ko oukou kapekepeke ana iwaena o na manao elua! Ina o Iehova ke Akua, e hahai oukou mamuli ona; aka, ina o Baala, e hahai mamuli ona, Aole olelo aku na kanaka i kekahi olelo ia ia.
Then Elijah, drawing near to all the people, said: “How long will you waver between two sides? If the Lord is God, follow him. But if Baal is, then follow him.” And the people did not respond a word to him.
22 Alaila olelo mai la o Elia i ka poe kanaka, Owau nei, owau wale no ka i koe mai he kaula no Iehova; aka o na kaula o Baala, eha haneri kanaka lakou me kanalima.
And Elijah said again to the people: “I alone remain as a prophet of the Lord. But the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men.
23 He pono no hoi e haawi mai lakou i na bipi elua, ia makou; a e koho ae lakou i kekahi bipi no lakou iho, a e okioki i mau apana, a e kau aku hoi maluna o ka wahie, aole hoi e hahao ae i ke ahi: a e hoomakaukau aku au i kekahi bipi, a e kau ae maluna o ka wahie, aole hoi e hahao ae i ke ahi:
Let two oxen be given to us. And let them choose one ox for themselves, and, cutting it into pieces, let them set it on the wood. But they may not place fire under it. And I will prepare the other ox, and set it on the wood. But I will not place fire under it.
24 A e kahea oukou ma ka inoa o ko oukou mau akua, a e kahea wau i ka inoa o Iehova; a o ke Akua nana e haawi mai i ke ahi, oia ke Akua. Olelo aku la ka poe kanaka a pau, i aku la, He pono ka olelo.
Call upon the names of your gods. And I will call on the name of my Lord. And the God who will have heeded with fire, let him be God.” And in response, all the people said, “Excellent proposition.”
25 Olelo mai la hoi o Elia i na kaula o Baala, E koho oukou i kekahi bipi no oukou iho, a e hoomakaukau mua ae ia. no ka mea, he lehulehu oukou; a e kahea aku i ka inoa o ko oukou mau akua, aole hoi e hahao ae i ke ahi.
Then Elijah said to the prophets of Baal: “Choose for yourselves one ox, and prepare it first. For you are many. And call on the names of your gods, but do not place fire under it.”
26 Lawe ae la lakou i ka bipi i haawiia ia lakou, a hoomakaukau ae la hoi ia, a kahea aku la i ka inoa o Baala, mai kakahiaka a awakea, i ka i ana'ku, E Baala, e hoolohe mai ia makou. Aka, aohe leo; aole hoi mea i hoolohe mai. Lelele ae la lakou ma ke kuahu i hanaia'e.
And when they had taken an ox, which he had given to them, they prepared it. And they called on the name of Baal, from morning even until midday, saying, “O Baal, heed us.” And there was no voice, nor did anyone respond. And so they leaped upon the altar that they had made.
27 Eia kekahi, a awakea ae la, hoomaewaewa ae la o Elia ia lakou, i ae la, E kahea me ka leo nui, no ka mea, he akua ia; e kukakuka ana paha ia, e hahai ana paha ia, e hele loihi ana paha, a e hiamoe ana paha ia, e pono hoi ke hoalaia'e.
And when it was now midday, Elijah ridiculed them, saying: “Cry out with a louder voice. For he is a god, and perhaps he is talking, or at an inn, or on a journey, or certainly he may be asleep, and must be awakened.”
28 Kahea aku la lakou me ka leo nui, a kokoe iho la lakou ia lakou iho mamuli o ko lakou ano, me na pahi, a me na ihe, a hu mai ke koko maluna iho o lakou.
Then they cried out with a loud voice, and they cut themselves, in accord with their ritual, with knives and lancets, until they were entirely covered in blood.
29 Eia hoi kekahi, i ka aui ana'e o ka la, a pule ae lakou a hiki i ka wa e kaumaha ai i ka mohai ahiahi, aohe leo, aole hoi mea hoolohe, aole hoi mea manao mai:
Then, after midday had passed, and they were prophesying, the time had arrived when the sacrifice is usually offered. And there was no voice heard, neither did anyone heed or respond to the praying.
30 Alaila, i mai la o Elia i ka poe kanaka a pau, E hookokoke mai io'u nei; Hookokoke ae la ka poe kanaka a pau io na la. Kukulu hou ae la oia i ke kuahu o Iehova i hiolo ilalo.
Elijah said to all the people, “Draw near to me.” And as the people were drawing near to him, he repaired the altar of the Lord, which had been torn down.
31 Lawe ae la hoi o Elia i na po haku he umikumamalua, mamuli o ka helu ana o na ohana a na keiki a Iakoba, a ka mea i hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia ia, o i ana, E kapaia auanei kou inoa o Iseraela;
And he took twelve stones, in accord with the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord came, saying, “Israel shall be your name.”
32 A kukulu ae la oia ia mau pohaku i kuahu no ka inoa o Iehova, a hana iho la hoi i auwaha a puni ke kuahu, o kona nui e hiki ai ke komo na ana hua elua.
And he built from the stones an altar to the name of the Lord. And he made a trench for water, like two furrows of plowed land, all around the altar.
33 Hooponopono ae la hoi oia i ka wahie, a okioki ae la i ka bipi i mau apana, a kau ae la maluna o ka wahie; i mai la hoi oia, E hoopiha i na barela eha me ka wai, a e ninini iho maluna iho o ka mohaikuni, a maluna iho hoi o ka wahie.
And he arranged the wood, and he cut the ox into pieces, and he placed it on the wood.
34 Olelo mai la hoi oia, I elua o ka oukou hana ana. Elua'e la no hoi ka lakou hana ana. I mai la hoi oia, I ekolu hoi o ka oukou hana ana, Ekolu ae la no hoi ka lakou hana ana.
And he said, “Fill four containers with water, and pour it over the holocaust, and over the wood.” And again, he said, “Do this a second time.” And when they had done it a second time, he said, “Do it also a third time.” And they did so a third time.
35 Kahe ae la hoi ka wai a puni ke kuahu; a hoopiha iho la no hoi oia i ka auwaha i ka wai.
And the water was running down around the altar, and the pit of the trench was filled with water.
36 Eia hoi kekahi, i ka wa i kaumaha ai i ka mohai ahiahi, hookokoke ae la o Elia ke kaula, i aku la hoi, E Iehova ke Akua o Aberahama, a me Isaaka, a me Iseraela, i keia la e hoikeia'i o oe no ke Akua iloko o ka Iseraela, a owau nei kau kauwa, a no kau olelo i hana aku ai au i keia mau mea a pau.
And when it was now time for the holocaust to be offered, the prophet Elijah, drawing near, said: “O Lord, God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel, reveal this day that you are the God of Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have acted, in all these things, in accord with your precept.
37 E hoolohe mai ia'u, e Iehova, e hoolohe mai ia'u, i ike keia lahuikanaka o oe no Iehova ke Akua; a ua hoohuli hou mai hoi oe i ko lakou naau.
Heed me, O Lord, heed me, so that this people may learn that you are the Lord God, and that you have converted their heart again.”
38 Alaila haule mai la ke ahi o Iehova, a hoopau iho la i ka mohaikuni, a me ka wahie, a me na pohaku, a me ka lepo, a miki ae la hoi i ka wai iloko o ka auwaha.
Then the fire of the Lord fell down and devoured the holocaust, and the wood, and the stones, and even the dust, and it absorbed the water that was in the trench.
39 A ike ka poe kanaka a pau, moe iho la lakou ilalo ke alo, i aku la hoi lakou, O Iehova, oia ke Akua; o Iehova, oia ke Akua.
And when all the people had seen it, they fell upon their face, and they said: “The Lord himself is God! The Lord himself is God!”
40 I mai la hoi o Elia ia lakou, E hopu i na kaula o Baala, i ole e pakele kekahi. Hopu ae la hoi lakou ia lakou; a alakai ae la o Elia ia lakou i ke kahawai Kisona, a pepehi iho la hoi oia ia lakou malaila.
And Elijah said to them, “Apprehend the prophets of Baal, and do not let even one of them escape.” And when they had apprehended them, Elijah led them down to the torrent Kishon, and he put them to death there.
41 I mai la hoi o Elia ia Ahaba, E pii oe, e ai, a e inu; no ka mea, eia ke kamumu ana o ka ua nui.
And Elijah said to Ahab “Ascend; eat and drink. For there is the sound of an abundance of rain.”
42 Pela i pii ai o Ahaba e ai a e inu hoi. Pii ae la hoi o Elia i ke poo o Karemela, moe iho la oia malalo ma ka honua, a hookomo iho la i kona maka iwaena o kona mau kuli.
Ahab ascended, so that he might eat and drink. But Elijah ascended to the top of Carmel, and bending down to the ground, he placed his face between his knees.
43 Alaila olelo mai la oia i kana kauwa, E pii ae oe ano, e nana i kai. Pii ae la hoi oia, a nana aku la, a i aku la, Aole. Olelo mai la hoi oia, E hele hou i ehiku hele ana.
And he said to his servant, “Ascend, and gaze out toward the sea.” And when he had ascended, and had contemplated, he said, “There is nothing.” And again, he said to him, “Return seven times.”
44 Eia kekahi i ka hiku o kona hele ana, i aku la oia, Aia hoi, ke hoea mai la he wahi ao uuku me he lima la o ke kanaka, mailoko mai o ke kai. A olelo mai la oia, E hele oe e olelo aku ia Ahaba, E hoomakaukau ae oe, a e iho ae, o paa mai oe i ka ua.
And at the seventh time, behold, a little cloud ascended from the sea like the footstep of a man. And he said: “Ascend, and say to Ahab, ‘Yoke your chariot, and descend; otherwise, the rain may prevent you.’”
45 Eia kekahi, ia manawa no, poele mai la ka lani i na ao a me ka makani, a nui mai la ka ua. Holo kaa ae la o Ahaba a hiki i Iezereela.
And as he was turning himself this way and that, behold, the heavens were darkened, and there were clouds and wind, and a great rainstorm occurred. And so Ahab, going up, went away to Jezreel.
46 Kau mai la hoi ka lima o Iehova maluna o Elia; kaei iho la oia i kona puhaka iho, a holo ae la imua o Ahaba a i ke komo ana i Iezereela.
And the hand of the Lord was upon Elijah. And cinching his waist, he ran before Ahab, until he arrived at Jezreel.
