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.
And the days are many, and the word of YHWH has been to Elijah in the third year, saying, “Go, appear to Ahab, and I give rain on the face of the ground”;
2 Hele ae la hoi o Elia e hoike ia ia iho ia Ahaba: a he wi nui ma Samaria.
and Elijah goes to appear to Ahab. And the famine is severe in Samaria,
3 Kahea ae la o Ahaba ia Obadia, ka luna o kona hale. (He weliweli nui ko Obadia ia Iehova:
and Ahab calls to Obadiah, who [is] over the house—and Obadiah has been fearing YHWH 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.)
and it comes to pass, in Jezebel’s cutting off the prophets of YHWH, that Obadiah takes one hundred prophets, and hides them, fifty men in a cave, and has sustained 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.
and Ahab says to Obadiah, “Go through the land, to all fountains of waters, and to all the brooks, perhaps we find hay, and keep alive horse and mule, and do not cut off any of the livestock.”
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 apportion the land to themselves, to pass over into it; Ahab has gone in one way by himself, and Obadiah has gone in 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 Obadiah [is] in the way, and behold, Elijah [is there] to meet him; and he discerns him, and falls on his face and says, “Are you he—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 says to him, “I [am]; go, say to your lord, Behold, Elijah.”
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 says, “What have I sinned, that you are giving your servant into the hand of Ahab—to 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.
Your God YHWH lives, if there is a nation and kingdom to where my lord has not sent to seek [for] you; and they said, He is not, then he caused the kingdom and the nation to swear, that it does not find you;
11 Ano hoi, ke olelo nei oe, E hele e hai aku i ko'u haku, Aia hoi o Elia!
and now, you are saying, Go, say to your lord, Behold, Elijah;
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 it has been, I go from you, and the Spirit of YHWH lifts you up to where I do not know, and I have come to declare to Ahab, and he does not find you, and he has slain me; and your servant is fearing YHWH from my youth.
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 declared to my lord that which I have done in Jezebel’s slaying the prophets of YHWH, that I hide one hundred men of the prophets of YHWH, fifty by fifty in a cave, and sustained 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 are saying, Go, say to my lord, Behold, Elijah—and he has slain 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 says, “YHWH of Hosts lives, before whom I have stood, surely I appear to him today.”
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.
Obadiah goes to meet Ahab, and declares [it] to him, and Ahab goes 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 it] comes to pass at Ahab’s seeing Elijah that Ahab says to him, “Are you he—the troubler of 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 says, “I have not troubled Israel, but you and the house of your father, in your forsaking the commands of YHWH, and you go after the Ba‘alim;
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.
and now, send, gather all Israel to me, to the Mount of Carmel, and the four hundred and fifty prophets of Ba‘al, and the four hundred prophets of Asherah who are eating at 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,
And Ahab sends among all the sons of Israel, and gathers the prophets to the Mount of 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.
and Elijah comes near to all the people and says, “Until when are you leaping on the two branches? If YHWH [is] God, go after Him; and if Ba‘al, go after him”; and the people have not answered him a word.
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 says to the people, “I have been left, by myself, a prophet of YHWH; and the prophets of Ba‘al [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:
and let them give two bullocks to us, and they choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and place [it] on the wood, and place no fire; and I prepare the other bullock, and have put [it] on the wood, and I do not place fire—
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.
and you have called in the name of your god, and I call in the Name of YHWH, and it has been, the god who answers by fire—He [is] the God.” And all the people answer and say, “The word [is] good.”
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.
And Elijah says to the prophets of Ba‘al, “Choose one bullock for yourselves, and prepare [it] first, for you [are] the multitude, and call in the name of your god, and place no fire.”
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 they take the bullock that [one] gave to them, and prepare [it], and call in the name of Ba‘al from the morning even until the noon, saying, “O Ba‘al, answer us!” And there is no voice, and there is none answering; and they leap on the altar that one 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 it comes to pass, at noon, that Elijah mocks at them and says, “Call with a loud voice, for he [is] a god, for he is meditating, or pursuing, or on a journey; it may be he is asleep, and awakes.”
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.
And they call with a loud voice, and cut themselves, according to their ordinance, with swords and with spears, until a flowing of blood [is] on them;
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:
and it comes to pass, at the passing by of the noon, that they feign themselves prophets until the going up of the present, and there is no voice, and there is none answering, and there is none attending.
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.
And Elijah says to all the people, “Come near to me”; and all the people come near to him, and he repairs the altar of YHWH that is broken 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 Elijah takes twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of YHWH was, saying, “Israel is 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 builds an altar with the stones, in the Name of YHWH, and makes a trench, as about the space of two measures of seed, 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 arranges the wood, and cuts the bullock in pieces, and places [it] on the wood, and says, “Fill four pitchers of water, and pour [them] on the burnt-offering, and 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 says, “Do [it] a second time”; and they do [it] a second time; and he says, “Do [it] a third time”; and they do [it] 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 goes around the altar, and he has also filled the trench 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 it comes to pass, at the going up of the [evening] present, that Elijah the prophet comes near and says, “YHWH, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known today that You [are] God in Israel, and that I, Your servant, have done the whole of these things by Your word;
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.
answer me, O YHWH, answer me, and this people [then] knows that You [are] YHWH God; and You have turned their heart backward.”
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.
And a fire falls [from] YHWH, and consumes the burnt-offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and it has licked up the water that [is] 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 all the people see, and fall on their faces, and say, “YHWH, He [is] the God! YHWH, He [is] the 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 says to them, “Catch the prophets of Ba‘al; do not let a man escape from them”; and they catch them, and Elijah brings them down to the Brook of Kishon, and slaughters them 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 says to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink, because of the sound of the noise of the shower.”
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.
And Ahab goes up to eat, and to drink, and Elijah has gone up to the top of Carmel, and he stretches himself out on the earth, and he places 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 says to his young man, “Now go up, look attentively [toward] the way of the sea”; and he goes up and looks attentively, and says, “There is nothing”; and he says, “Turn back,” 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 it comes to pass, at the seventh, that he says, “Behold, a little thickness as the palm of a man is coming up out of the sea.” And he says, “Go up, say to Ahab, Bind and go down, and the shower does not restrain 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 it comes to pass, in the meantime, that the heavens have become black—thick clouds and wind—and the shower is great; and Ahab rides, and goes 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 YHWH has been on Elijah, and he girds up his loins, and runs before Ahab, until your entering Jezreel.
