I Na Lii 20
1 HOULUULU ae la o Benehadada ke alii o Suria i kona poe kaua a pau: kanakolu kumamalua mau alii me ia, a me na lio a me na kaa: Pii mai la ia a hoopuni ia Samaria, a kaua ae la ia ia.
Ben Hadad the king of Syria gathered all his army together; and there were thirty-two kings with him, with horses and chariots. He went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
2 Hoouna ae la oia i na elele io Ahaba la ke alii o ka Iseraela, iloko o ke kulanakauhale;
He sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel and said to him, “Ben Hadad says,
3 I ae la, Ke olelo nei o Benehadada, O kau kala, a me kau gula, o ka'u ia, a me kau mau wahine, a me kau mau keiki, o na mea maikai, o ka'u ia.
‘Your silver and your gold are mine. Your wives also and your children, even the best, are mine.’”
4 I aku la o ke alii o ka Iseraela, e like me kau olelo, e ke alii ko'u haku, ia oe no wau a me ka'u mau mea a pau.
The king of Israel answered, “It is according to your saying, my lord, O king. I am yours, and all that I have.”
5 Hoi hou mai na elele, a i mai la, Penei ka olelo ana a Benehadada, i ka i ana, Ua hoouna aku au iou la, i ka i ana aku, E haawi mai oe i kau kala, a me kau gula, a me kau mau wahine, a me kau mau keiki;
The messengers came again and said, “Ben Hadad says, ‘I sent indeed to you, saying, “You shall deliver me your silver, your gold, your wives, and your children;
6 Aka, e hoouna hou aku au i ka'u mau kauwa iou la i ka la apopo me neia ka hora, a e huli lakou i kou hale, a me na hale o kau mau kauwa; a eia hoi, o ka mea makemakeia imua o kou mau maka, e lalau ko lakou lima, a e lawe mai.
but I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they will search your house and the houses of your servants. Whatever is pleasant in your eyes, they will put it in their hand, and take it away.”’”
7 Alaila hea ae la ke alii o ka Iseraela i na lunakahiko a pau o ka aina, i ae la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oukou, e nana i ko keia kanaka imi ana e kolohe wale mai; no ka mea, ua kii e mai nei oia i ka'u mau wahine, a me ka'u mau keiki, a me ka'u kala, a me ka'u gula, aole hoi au i hoole aku ia ia.
Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, “Please notice how this man seeks mischief; for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I didn’t deny him.”
8 I aku la na lunakahiko a pau a me na kanaka a pau ia ia, Mai hoolohe aku, aole hoi e ae aku.
All the elders and all the people said to him, “Don’t listen, and don’t consent.”
9 Nolaila i olelo aku ai oia i na elele o Benehadada, E hai aku i kuu haku ke alii, O ka mea a pau au i kii mai ai i kau kauwa nei, i kinohou, oia ka'u e hana'i: aka, o keia mea, aole e hiki ia'u ke hana. A hoi na elele, a lawe hou ae la i ka olelo ia ia.
Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben Hadad, “Tell my lord the king, ‘All that you sent for to your servant at the first I will do, but this thing I cannot do.’” The messengers departed and brought him back the message.
10 Hoouna hou mai la o Benehadada io na la, i mai la, Pela e hana mai ai na akua ia'u, a e hui hou, ke lawa ka lepo o Samaria e piha ai na lima o ka poe kanaka a pau e hahai ana mamuli o'u.
Ben Hadad sent to him, and said, “The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria will be enough for handfuls for all the people who follow me.”
11 Olelo aku la ke alii o ka Iseraela, i aku la, E olelo aku, Mai hookiekie ka mea e hookomo ana i ka mea kaua e like me ka mea e kala ana ia.
The king of Israel answered, “Tell him, ‘Don’t let him who puts on his armour brag like he who takes it off.’”
12 Eia kekahi, i kona lohe ana i keia olelo i kona wa e inu ana oia me na alii iloko o na halelewa, i ae la oia i kana poe kauwa, E hoonohonoho. Hoonohonoho ae la lakou e ku e i ke kulanakauhale.
When Ben Hadad heard this message as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, he said to his servants, “Prepare to attack!” So they prepared to attack the city.
13 Hiki mai la kekahi kaula ia Ahaba ke alii o ka Iseraela, i ae la oia ia ia, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, Ua ike anei oe i keia lehulehu loa? Eia hoi, e haawi aku no au ia lakou iloko o kou lima; a e ike no oe owau no Iehova.
Behold, a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel, and said, “The LORD says, ‘Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand today. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
14 Ninau aku la o Ahaba, Ma owai la? Hai mai la oia, Ke i mai nei o Iehova, penei, Ma na kanaka ui o na lii o na panalaau. Alaila ninau hou aku la oia, Owai ka mea e hooinakaukau? Hai mai la oia, O oe.
Ahab said, “By whom?” He said, “The LORD says, ‘By the young men of the princes of the provinces.’” Then he said, “Who shall begin the battle?” He answered, “You.”
15 Helu ae la oia i na kanaka ui o na lii o na panalaau, elua haneri me kanakolu kumamalua; a mahope o lakou, helu ae la oia i na kanaka a pau, i na mamo a pau a Iseraela, ehiku tausani.
Then he mustered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two. After them, he mustered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
16 Puka aku la lakou i ke awakea. Aka, e inu ana o Benehadada a ona iloko o na halelewa, oia pu me na lii, he kanakolu kumamalua alii e kokua ana ia ia.
They went out at noon. But Ben Hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings who helped him.
17 Puka mua aku la o na kanaka ui o na lii o na panalaau; hoouna ae la o Benehadada, a hoike aku la lakou ia ia, i aku la, Ke puka mai nei na kanaka mai loko mai o Samaria.
The young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben Hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, “Men are coming out from Samaria.”
18 Olelo mai la oia, Ina i puka mai lakou no ka malu, e hopu ia lakou e ola ana; a ina i puka mai lakou no ke kaua, e hopu ia lakou e ola ana.
He said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have come out for war, take them alive.”
19 Pela i puka ai mai loko ae o ke kulanakauhale ua poe kanaka ui la o na lii o na panalaau, a me ka poe kana i hahai mamuli o lakou.
So these went out of the city, the young men of the princes of the provinces, and the army which followed them.
20 Pepehi ae la lakou pakahi i kona kanaka; a auhee ae la ko Suria, a hahai aku la ka Iseraela ia lakou; pakele aku la o Benehadada, ke alii o Suria maluna o ka lio, a me na hololio.
They each killed his man. The Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them. Ben Hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with horsemen.
21 Puka aku la ke alii o ka Iseraela, a pepehi ae la i na lio a me na kaa, a laku hoi i ko Suria me ka luku nui loa.
The king of Israel went out and struck the horses and chariots, and killed the Syrians with a great slaughter.
22 Hele ae la ke kaula i ke alii o ka Iseraela, i ae la ia ia, E hele, e hookupaa ia oe iho, a e noonoo, a e ike i kau mea e hana aku ai; no ka mea, aia puni ka makahiki, e pii ku e hou mai ke alii o Suria ia oe.
The prophet came near to the king of Israel and said to him, “Go, strengthen yourself, and plan what you must do, for at the return of the year, the king of Syria will come up against you.”
23 Olelo aku la na kauwa a ke alii o Suria ia ia, He mau akua o na puu ko lakou mau akua; nolaila i oi ai ko lakou ikaika mamua o ko kakou. E kaua aku kakou ia lakou ma ka papu, a e oi io aku ko kakou ikaika mamua o ko lakou.
The servants of the king of Syria said to him, “Their god is a god of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we. But let’s fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they.
24 E hana hoi oe i keia mea, e hookaawale ae i na lii, kela kanaka keia kanaka mai kona wahi ae, a e pani i ko lakou hakahaka me na luna koa.
Do this thing: take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their place.
25 A e helu ae i poe kaua nou, e like me kau poe kaua i haule, he lio no ka lio, he kaa no ke kaa; a e kaua aku kakou ia lakou ma ka papu, a e kela io aku ko kakou ikaika mamua o ko lakou. Hoolohe mai la oia i ko lakou leo, a hana iho la pela.
Muster an army like the army that you have lost, horse for horse and chariot for chariot. We will fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they are.” He listened to their voice and did so.
26 Eia hoi keia, i ka puni ana o ka makahiki, helu aku la o Benehadada i ko Suria, a pii mai la i Apeka e kaua i ka Iseraela.
At the return of the year, Ben Hadad mustered the Syrians and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.
27 A ua heluia'e la na mamo a Iseraela, e noho makaukau ana no hoi lakou a pau, a hele ku e aku la ia lakou; a hoomoana iho la o na mamo a Iseraela imua o lakou, e like me na ohana liilii elua o na keiki kao; aka, o ko Suria, ua paapu ka aina ia lakou.
The children of Israel were mustered and given provisions, and went against them. The children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of young goats, but the Syrians filled the country.
28 Hele mai la ke kanaka o ke Akua, a olelo mai la i ke alii o ka Iseraela, i mai la, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, No ka mea, ke olelo nei lakou, He Akua no na puu o Iehova, aole he Akua ia no na awawa, nolaila e haawi aku ai au i keia poe lehulehu nui iloko o kou lima, a e ike oukou owau no Iehova.
A man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, “The LORD says, ‘Because the Syrians have said, “The LORD is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys,” therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the LORD.’”
29 Hoomoana ae la lakou kekahi i mua o kekahi i na la ehiku. Eia hoi i ka hiku o ka la kaua iho la lakou; pepehi iho la na mamo a Iseraela i ko Suria i hookahi haneri tausani kanaka hele wawae, i ka la hookahi.
They encamped opposite each other for seven days. Then on the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel killed one hundred thousand footmen of the Syrians in one day.
30 A holo aku la ke koena i Apeka iloko o ke kulanakauhale; a malaila i hiolo ai ka pa maluna o na tausani he iwakalua kumamahiku o na kanaka i koe. Holo aku la hoi o Benehadada, a komo iloko o ke kulanakauhale, iloko o ke keena maloko ae.
But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men who were left. Ben Hadad fled and came into the city, into an inner room.
31 I aku la kana mau kauwa ia ia, Eia hoi, ua lohe kakou he poe alii lokomaikai na lii o ka ohana a Iseraela; nolaila, ea, e hookomo i ke kapa eleele, ma ko makou puhaka, a e kau na kaula ma ko makou mau poo, a e puka aku i ke alii o ka Iseraela; e hoola paha auanei oia ia oe.
His servants said to him, “See now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please let us put sackcloth on our bodies and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel. Maybe he will save your life.”
32 Kau iho la lakou i ke kapa eleele ma ko lakou mau puhaka, a kau i na kaula maluna o ko lakou mau poo, a hele i ke alii o ka Iseraela, i mai la hoi, Ke i mai nei kau kauwa Benehadada, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe e ola au. I aku la oia, E ola ana anei ia? O ko'u hoahanau no ia.
So they put sackcloth on their bodies and ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, “Your servant Ben Hadad says, ‘Please let me live.’” He said, “Is he still alive? He is my brother.”
33 Haka pono mai la na kanaka i puka mai paha mai loko ona, a hopu koke ae, a olelo mai la lakou, O kou hoahanau Benehadada. Alaila olelo aku la ia, E kii aku oukou, a lawe mai ia ia. Alaila hele mai la o Benehadada io na la, a hooee ae la oia ia ia iloko o ke kaa.
Now the men observed diligently and hurried to take this phrase; and they said, “Your brother Ben Hadad.” Then he said, “Go, bring him.” Then Ben Hadad came out to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
34 Olelo ae la o Benehadada ia ia, O na kulanakauhale a ko'u makuakane i kaili ae ai mai kou makuakane ae, oia ka'u e hoihoi aku ai; a e hana oe nou i na alanui ma Damaseko me ko'u makuakane i hana'i ma Samaria. I ae la o Ahaba, Me ia berita e hookuu aku ai au ia oe. Hana iho la oia i berita me ia, a hookuu aku la ia ia.
Ben Hadad said to him, “The cities which my father took from your father I will restore. You shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria.” “I”, said Ahab, “will let you go with this covenant.” So he made a covenant with him and let him go.
35 A o kekahi kanaka no na keiki a na kaula i olelo ae la i kona hoalauna, ma ka olelo a Iehova, Ke noi aku nei au e pepehi mai oe ia'u. Aole hoi i pepehi na kanaka la ia ia.
A certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his fellow by the LORD’s word, “Please strike me!” The man refused to strike him.
36 Alaila olelo ae la oia ia ia, No kou hoolohe ole ana i ka leo o Iehova, eia hoi, i kou hele ana mai o'u aku nei, e pepehi koke no ka liona ia oe. A hele ae la ia mai ona aku la, a loaa koke iho la i ka liona, a make ia ia i ka pepehiia.
Then he said to him, “Because you have not obeyed the LORD’s voice, behold, as soon as you have departed from me, a lion will kill you.” As soon as he had departed from him, a lion found him and killed him.
37 Alaila loaa ia ia kekahi kanaka, olelo aku la oia ia ia, Ke noi aku nei au e pepehi mai oe ia'u: pepehi aku la hoi oia ia ia, a eba ia ia i ka pepehiia.
Then he found another man, and said, “Please strike me.” The man struck him and wounded him.
38 Hele aku la hoi ke kaula, a kali i ke alii ma ke alanui, a hoonalonalo i kona ano me ka lehu maluna o kona wahi maka.
So the prophet departed and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband over his eyes.
39 A maalo ae la ke alii, kahea aku la oia i ke alii, i aku la hoi, Hele aku la kau kauwa iwaena konu o ke kaua; aia hoi, kapae ae la kekahi kanaka, a lawe mai i kekahi kanaka io'u nei, i mai la, E malama ia ia nei: ina paha i nalo, alaila e lilo kou ola no kona ola, a i ole ia, e uku oe i hookahi talena kala.
As the king passed by, he cried to the king, and he said, “Your servant went out into the middle of the battle; and behold, a man came over and brought a man to me, and said, ‘Guard this man! If by any means he is missing, then your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.’
40 A i ko'u lawelawe ana io ia nei, nalo wale ae la ia. Olelo mai la ke alii o ka Iseraela ia ia, Pela ka hooponopono ana nou, nau no ia i hoakaka.
As your servant was busy here and there, he was gone.” The king of Israel said to him, “So shall your judgement be. You yourself have decided it.”
41 Lalelale ae la oia e hoohemo ae i ka lehu mai kona wahi maka ae; a ike mai ke alii o ka Iseraela ia ia o kekahi ia o na kaula.
He hurried, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognised that he was one of the prophets.
42 I aku la oia ia ia, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, No kou hookuu ana mai loko ae o kou lima i ke kanaka a'u i hoolilo ai i ka luku loa ia, nolaila e lilo kou ola no kona ola, a o kou poe kanaka no kona poe kanaka.
He said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life will take the place of his life, and your people take the place of his people.’”
43 Hoi aku la hoi ke alii o ka Iseraela i kona hale, me ke kaumaha, a me ka uluhua a hiki i Samaria.
The king of Israel went to his house sullen and angry, and came to Samaria.
