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 LORD’s word came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, “Go, show yourself to Ahab; and I will send rain on the earth.”
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. 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 over the 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 cut off the LORD’s prophets, Obadiah took one hundred prophets, and hid them fifty to 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 springs of water, and to all the brooks. Perhaps we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we 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 throughout it. Ahab went one way by himself, 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?
As Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him. He recognised him, and fell on his face, and said, “Is it you, 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.
He answered him, “It is I. Go, tell your lord, ‘Behold, 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?
He said, “How have I sinned, that you would deliver your servant into the hand of Ahab, 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 the LORD your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my lord has not sent to seek you. When they said, ‘He is not here,’ he took an oath of the kingdom and nation that they didn’t find you.
11 Ano hoi, ke olelo nei oe, E hele e hai aku i ko'u haku, Aia hoi o Elia!
Now you say, ‘Go, tell your lord, “Behold, 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.
It will happen, as soon as I leave you, that the LORD’s Spirit will carry you I don’t know where; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he can’t find you, he will kill me. But I, your servant, have feared the LORD 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?
Wasn’t it told my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the LORD’s prophets, how I hid one hundred men of the LORD’s prophets with fifty to 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, ‘Go, tell your lord, “Behold, Elijah is here”.’ 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.
Elijah said, “As the LORD of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself 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.
So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told 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?
When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, “Is that you, you 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.
He answered, “I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father’s house, in that you have forsaken the LORD’s commandments and you 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.
Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel to Mount Carmel, and four hundred and fifty of the prophets of Baal, and four hundred of the prophets of the 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 to all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together to 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 waver between the two sides? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.” The people didn’t say 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, even I only, am left as a prophet of the LORD; but Baal’s prophets 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 them therefore give us two bulls; and let them choose one bull for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under; and I will dress 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.
You call on the name of your god, and I will call on the LORD’s name. The God who answers by fire, let him be God.” All the people answered, “What you say 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.
Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose one bull for yourselves, and dress it first, for you are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no 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.
They took the bull which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, “Baal, hear us!” But there was no voice, and nobody answered. They leapt about the altar which was 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, “Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is deep in thought, or he has gone somewhere, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he sleeps 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.
They cried aloud, and cut themselves in their way with knives and lances until the blood gushed out 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:
When midday was past, they prophesied until the time of the evening offering; but there was no voice, no answer, and nobody paid attention.
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, “Come near to me!”; and all the people came near to him. He repaired the LORD’s altar that had been thrown 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;
Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the LORD’s word 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.
With the stones he built an altar in the LORD’s name. He made a trench around the altar large enough to contain two seahs of seed.
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 put the wood in order, and cut the bull in pieces and laid it 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.
He said, “Do it a second time;” and they did it the second time. He said, “Do it a third time;” and they did it the 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 he 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.
At the time of the evening offering, Elijah the prophet came near and said, “LORD, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known today 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, LORD, hear me, that this people may know that you, LORD, are God, and that you have turned their heart back 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 LORD’s fire fell and consumed the burnt offering, the wood, the stones, and the dust; and it 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 it, they fell on their faces. They said, “The LORD, he is God! The LORD, 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.
Elijah said to them, “Seize the prophets of Baal! Don’t let one of them escape!” They seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, 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 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.
So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he 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 and look towards the sea.” He went up and looked, then said, “There is nothing.” He 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.
On the seventh time, he said, “Behold, a small cloud, like a man’s hand, is rising out of the sea.” He said, “Go up, tell Ahab, ‘Get ready and go down, so that the rain doesn’t stop 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.
In a little while, the sky 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.
The LORD’s hand was on Elijah; and he tucked his cloak into his belt and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
