I Na Lii 19
1 HAI aku la no hoi o Ahaba ia Iezebela i ka mea a pau a Elia i hana'i, a me kona pepehi ana i ka poe kaula me ka pahikaua.
When Ahab got home, he told [his wife] Jezebel what Elijah had done. He told her that Elijah had killed all the prophets of Baal.
2 Alaila hoouna ae la o Iezebela i ka elele io Elia la, i ae la, Pela hoi e hana mai ai na akua ia'u, a hui hou no, ke hoohalike ole aku au i kou ola apopo me neia ka hora, me ke ola o kekahi o lakou.
So Jezebel sent this message to Elijah: “By this time tomorrow I will have [killed] you, just like you [killed all those prophets of Baal]. If I do not do that, I hope the gods will kill me.”
3 A ike oia, ku ae la ia iluna, a holo no kona ola, a hiki i Beereseba no Iuda, a haalele i kana kauwa malaila.
When Elijah received [her message], he was afraid. So [taking his servant with him], he fled in order that he would not be killed. He went [far south] to Beersheba, in Judah. He left his servant there.
4 A hele ae la hoi oia, i ka hele ana o kekahi la, iloko ae o ka waonahele, hele hoi a noho iho malalo iho o ka laau iunipera; a nonoi aku la hoi nona iho e make ia; i aku la hoi, Ua nui; ano hoi, e Iehova, e lawe aku i kuu ola nei; no ka mea, aole oi aku ko'u maikai mamua o ko'u mau makua.
Then he went by himself further [south] into the desert. He walked all day. He sat down under a broom tree and prayed that [Yahweh] would allow him to die. He said, “Yahweh, I’ve had enough. So allow me to die, because for me to live is no better than [being with] my ancestors [who have died].”
5 Moe iho la oia a hiamoe ilalo o ka laau iunipera, aia hoi, ilaila, hoopa mai la kahi anela ia ia, i mai la, E ala, e ai.
Then he lay down under the broom tree and slept. But while he was sleeping, an angel touched him and [woke him up and] said to him, “Get up and eat some food!”
6 Nana ae la hoi ia, aia hoi, kokoke i kona poo, he popopalaoa i hoomoaia maluna o ka lanahu, a he omole wai. Ai iho la ia a inu hoi, a moe hou iho la ilalo.
Elijah looked around and saw some bread which had been baked on hot stones, and he also saw a jar of water. So he ate some bread and drank some water and lay down [to sleep] again.
7 Hele hou mai la ka anela o Iehova, o ka lua ia, a hoopa mai ia ia, i mai la hoi, E ala, e ai, no ka mea, he loihi ka hele ana nou.
Then the angel [who had been sent by] Yahweh came again and touched him, and said, “Get up and eat some [more] food, because you need [more strength] to go on a long journey.”
8 Ala ae la ia, a ai iho la, a inu no hoi, a ma ka ikaika no ua ai la, i hele ai oia i na la he kanaha, a i na po he kanaha, i Horeba, ka mauna o ke Akua.
So he got up and ate and drank some more, and because of doing that, he got enough strength to enable him to travel for forty days and nights to Sinai Mountain, the mountain [that was dedicated to] God.
9 Hiki aku la ia ilaila i ke ana, noho ae la hoi ilaila; aia hoi ka olelo a Iehova ia ia, i mai la hoi oia ia ia, He aha la kau e hana nei maanei, e Elia?
He went into a cave there and slept there that night. [The next morning, ] Yahweh said to him “Elijah, why are you here?”
10 I aku la hoi ia, Ua ikaika loa ae nei au mamuli o Iehova ke Akua o ko ka lani; no ka mea, ua haalele no na mamo a Iseraela i kau berita, ua hoohiolo hoi i kou mau kuahu, a ua pepehi no hoi i kou poe kaula me ka pahikaua: a owau wale no ka i koe mai, a ua imi mai lakou i ko'u ola e lawe aku.
Elijah replied, “I have zealously served you, Yahweh, God Almighty. But the Israeli people have broken the agreement that they made with you. They have torn down your altars, and they have killed all of your prophets. I am the only one whom they have not killed, and now they are trying to kill me, too. [So I am running away from them].”
11 I mai la hoi oia, E puka'e, a e ku maluna o ka mauna imua o Iehova. Aia hoi, maalo ae la o Iehova, a haehae ae la ka makani nui ikaika i na mauna, a wawahi ae la i na pohaku imua o Iehova; aole nae o Iehova iloko o ka makani: a mahope iho o ka makani, he olai; aole nae o Iehova iloko o ke olai.
Yahweh said to him, “Go out and stand in front of me on this mountain while I pass by.” [Suddenly] a strong windstorm struck the mountain. As a result, rocks were loosened from the mountainside. But Yahweh was not in the wind. Then there was an earthquake, but Yahweh was not in the earthquake.
12 A mahope iho o ke olai, he ahi; aole nae o Iehova iloko o ke ahi; a mahope iho o ke ahi, he kamumu o ke aheahe malie.
Then there was a fire, but Yahweh was not in the fire. Then there was a sound like someone whispering quietly.
13 Eia kekahi, a lohe o Elia, uhi ae la oia i kona maka i kona aahu, a puka ae la oia a ku ma ke komo ana o ke ana. Aia hoi, he leo ia ia, i mai la hoi ia, O ke aha la kau e hana nei maanei, e Elia?
When Elijah heard that, he wrapped his cloak around his face. He went out of the cave and stood at its entrance. And he heard Yahweh speaking to him, saying again, “Elijah, why are you here?”
14 I aku la hoi oia, Ua ikaika loa ae nei au mamuli o Iehova ke Akua o ko ka lani; no ka mea, ua haalele no na mamo a Iseraela i kau berita, ua hoohiolo hoi i kou mau kuahu, a ua pepehi no hoi i kou poe kaula me ka pahikaua; a owau wale no ka i koe mai, a ua imi mai lakou i ko'u ola e lawe aku.
He replied again, “I have zealously served you, Yahweh, God Almighty. But the Israeli people have broken the agreement that they made with you. They have torn down your altars, and they have killed all of your prophets. I am the only one whom they have not killed, and now they are trying to kill me, too. [So I am running away from them].”
15 I mai la hoi o Iehova ia ia, E hele, e hoi ma kou aoao i ka waonahele o Damaseko; a hiki aku oe, e poni aku ia Hazaela i alii maluna o Suria;
Then Yahweh told him, “Go back to the desert near Damascus. When you arrive there, anoint [with olive oil] a man named Hazael, [to appoint him] to be the king of Syria.
16 A o Iehu ke keiki a Nimesi kau e poni ai i alii maluna o ka Iseraela; o Elisai ke keiki a Sapata no Abelamehola kau e poni ai i kaula ma kou hakahaka.
Then anoint Jehu, the son of Nimshi, to be the king of Israel, and also anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat, from Abel-Meholah [town], to become my prophet after you are dead.
17 Eia auanei keia, o ka mea pakele i ka pahikaua a Hazela, oia ka Iehu e pepehi ai; a o ka mea pakele i ka pahikaua a Iehu, oia ka Elisai e pepehi ai.
Hazael’s army [will kill many people, and] those who escape from [being killed by] his army will be killed by Jehu’s [army], and those who escape from [being killed by] Jehu’s army will be killed by Elisha.
18 Aka, Ke hookoe nei au i na tausani ehiku iloko o ka Iseraela, i na kuli a pau i kukuli ole ia Baala, a me na waha a pau i honi ole ia ia.
But [you need to know that] there are still 7,000 people in Israel who have never bowed to [worship] Baal or kissed his [idol].”
19 Hele aku la hoi oia mai laila aku, a loaa ia ia o Elisai ke keiki a Sapata, e oopalau ana ia, o na paa bipi kauo he umikumamalua mamua ona, a oia me ka umikumamalua; a maalo ae o Elia ia ia, a kau ae hoi i kona aahu maluna ona.
So Elijah went [to Syria] and found Elisha as he was plowing a field with a team of oxen. There were eleven other men who were in front of him, plowing with teams of oxen in the same field. Elijah went to Elisha, and took off his own coat and put it on Elisha, [to show Elisha that he wanted him to take his place as a prophet. Then he started to walk away].
20 Haalele ae la hoi oia i na bipi kauo, a hahai aku la mamuli o Elia, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei au e honi au i ko'u makuakane, a me kuu makuwahine, alaila e hahai au mamuli ou. I mai la hoi oia ia ia, E hoi aku, no ka mea, o ke aha la ka'u i hana aku ai ia oe?
Elisha left the oxen standing there and ran after Elijah, and said to him, “I will go with you, but first let me kiss my parents goodbye.” Elijah replied, “Okay, go home. But do not forget why I have [given my cloak] to you!”
21 Hoi hou aku la oia mai ona aku la, a lalau iho la i kekahi paa bipi kauo, a pepehi loa ia, a baila ae la i ko laua io me na mea haua o ka bipi, a haawi ae na na kanaka, a ai iho la lakou. Alaila, ku ae la oia iluna, a hahai aku la mamuli o Elia, a lawelawe ae la nana.
So Elisha went back [to his oxen]. He killed them [and cut them in pieces] and used the wood from the plow to build a fire to roast the meat. He distributed the meat to the other people [in his town], and they all ate some. Then he went with Elijah and became his helper.
