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.
So after many days the word of Yahweh came to Elijah, in the third year of the drought, saying, “Go, show yourself to Ahab and I will send rain on the land.”
2 Hele ae la hoi o Elia e hoike ia ia iho ia Ahaba: a he wi nui ma Samaria.
Elijah went to show himself to Ahab; now the famine was severe in Samaria.
3 Kahea ae la o Ahaba ia Obadia, ka luna o kona hale. (He weliweli nui ko Obadia ia Iehova:
Ahab called Obadiah, who was in charge of the palace. Now Obadiah honored Yahweh very much,
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 Yahweh, Obadiah took one hundred prophets and hid them by fifties in a cave and 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.
Ahab said to Obadiah, “Go through the land to all the water springs and brooks. Perhaps we will find grass and save the horses and mules alive, so that we will not lose all the animals.”
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.
So they divided the land between them to pass through it and look for water. Ahab went one way by himself and Obadiah went another way.
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?
As Obadiah was on the road, Elijah unexpectedly met him. Obadiah recognized him and lay facedown on the ground. He said, “Is it you, my master Elijah?”
8 I mai la oia ia ia, Owau no: e hele oe e hai aku i ko'u haku, Aia hoi o Elia.
Elijah answered him, “It is I. Go tell your master, 'Look, 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?
Obadiah replied, “How have I sinned, that you would give your servant into the hand of Ahab, for him to kill me?
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 Yahweh your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my master has not sent men to find you. Whenever a nation or kingdom says, 'Elijah is not here,' Ahab makes them take an oath swearing that they could not find you.
11 Ano hoi, ke olelo nei oe, E hele e hai aku i ko'u haku, Aia hoi o Elia!
Yet now you say, 'Go, tell your master 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.
As soon as I am gone from you, the Spirit of Yahweh will carry you some place I do not know. Then when I go and tell Ahab, and when he cannot find you, he will kill me. Yet I, your servant, have worshiped Yahweh 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 told to you, my master, what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of Yahweh, how I hid one hundred of Yahweh's prophets by fifties in a cave and 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.
Now you say to me, 'Go and tell your master that Elijah is here,' so that he will 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.
Then Elijah responded, “As Yahweh of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself to Ahab 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.
So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him what Elijah said. Then the king 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?
When Ahab saw Elijah, he said to him, “Is it you? You are the one who brings trouble to 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.
Elijah answered, “I have not brought trouble to Israel, but you and your father's family are the ones who have caused trouble by abandoning the commandments of Yahweh and by following 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.
Now then, send word and gather to me all Israel at Mount Carmel, along with the 450 prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah who eat at Jezebel's table.”
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,
So Ahab sent word to all the people of Israel and gathered the prophets together at 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.
Elijah came near to all the people and said, “How long will you keep changing your mind? If Yahweh is God, follow him. But if Baal is God, then follow him.” Yet the people did not answer 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.
Then Elijah said to the people, “I, I alone, am left as a prophet of Yahweh, but Baal's prophets are 450 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:
So let them give us two bulls. Let them choose one bull for themselves and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, but put no fire under it. Then I will prepare the other bull and lay it on the wood, and put no 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.
Then you will call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of Yahweh, and the God who answers by fire, then let him be God.” So all the people answered and said, “This 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.
So Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose one bull for yourselves and prepare it first, for you are many people. Then call on the name of your god, but put no fire under the bull.”
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.
They took the bull that was given to them and prepared it, and they called on the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, “Baal, hear us.” But there was no voice, nor anyone who answered. They danced around the altar 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.
At noon Elijah mocked them and said, “Shout out loudly! He is a god! Perhaps he is thinking, or is relieving himself, or he is traveling on a journey, or perhaps he is sleeping 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.
So they shouted more loudly, and they cut themselves, as they usually did, with swords and spears, until their blood flowed out over themselves.
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:
Midday passed, and they were still raving until the time of offering of the evening sacrifice, but there was no voice or anyone to answer; there was no one who paid any attention to their pleadings.
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.
Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come near to me,” and all the people came near to him. Then he repaired the altar of Yahweh that was lying in ruin.
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;
Elijah took twelve stones, each stone representing one of the tribes of the sons of Jacob—it was Jacob to whom the word of Yahweh came, saying, “Israel will 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.
With the stones he built an altar in the name of Yahweh and he dug a trench around the altar large enough to contain two seahs of seeds.
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.
He arranged the wood for a fire, cut the bull in pieces, and laid the pieces of the bull on the wood. He said, “Fill four jars with water and pour it 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.
Then he said, “Do it a second time,” and they did it a second time. Once more he said, “Do it a third time,” and they did 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.
The water ran around the altar and filled the trench.
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.
It happened at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near and said, “Yahweh, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at 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.
Hear me, Yahweh, hear me, that these people may know that you, Yahweh, are God, and that you have turned their heart back again to yourself.”
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 Yahweh fell and consumed the burnt offering, as well as the wood, the stones, and the dust, and licked up 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.
When all the people saw this, they lay facedown on the ground and said, “Yahweh, he is God! Yahweh, he 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.
So Elijah said to them, “Take the prophets of Baal. Do not let one of them escape.” So they took them, and Elijah brought the prophets of Baal down to the Kishon River and killed 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.
Elijah said to Ahab, “Get up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of much 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.
So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. Then Elijah went up to the top of Carmel, bowed himself down on the earth and put 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.
He said to his servant, “Go up now, look toward the sea.” His servant went up and looked and said, “There is nothing.” So Elijah said, “Go again, 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.
At the seventh time the servant said, “Look, there is a cloud going up from the sea, as small as a man's hand.” Elijah replied, “Go up and say to Ahab, 'Make ready your chariot and go down before the rain stops 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.
It happened that in a little while the heavens grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. Ahab rode and went 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.
but the hand of Yahweh was on Elijah. He tucked his robe in his belt and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
