I Na Lii 21
1 EIA hoi kekahi mea mahope mai o ia mau mea, he malawaina ia Nabota no Iezereela, maloko ia o Iezereela, e pili ana i ka halealii o Ahaba ke alii o Samaria.
Sometime later this happened: There was a man named Naboth from Jezreel, who owned a vineyard in Jezreel close to King Ahab's palace in Samaria.
2 Olelo mai la o Ahaba ia Nabota, i mai la, E haawi mai oe i kou malawaina, i lilo ia ia'u i mala laauikiai, no ka mea, e kokoke mai ana no ia i ko'u hale; a e haawi aku au nau i ka malawaina e oi aku kona mai kai mamua o keia: a i pono ia oe, e haawi aku au ia oe i ke kala e like kona waiwai me ia.
Ahab went to Naboth and said, “Give me your vineyard so I can turn it into a vegetable garden, because it's close to my palace. In return I'll give you a better vineyard, or if you want I'll pay you for it in cash.”
3 I aku la o Nabota ia Ahaba, Na Iehova wau e hoole mai, i ole e haawi au i ka hooilina o ko'u mau makua ia oe.
But Naboth replied, “The Lord curse me if I should give you my forefathers' inheritance.”
4 Hele ae la hoi o Ahaba iloko o kona hale me ke kaumaha, a me ka huhu, no ka olelo a Nabota no Iezereela i olelo aku ai ia ia; no ka mea, ua olelo oia, Aole au e haawi aku i ka hooilina o ko'u mau makua ia oe. Moe iho la oia ma kona wahi moe, haliu e aku i kona maka, aole hoi i ai i ka berena.
Ahab went home sulking and infuriated because Naboth from Jezreel had said, “I will not give you my forefathers' inheritance.” He went to bed, wouldn't look at anyone, and refused to eat.
5 Alaila hele ae la kana wahine o Iezebela io na la, ninau aku la hoi, No ke aha la e kaumaha nei kou uhane, i ole ai oe e ai i ka berena?
His wife Jezebel came in and asked him, “Why are you so upset about? That you don't want to eat?”
6 Hai mai la oia, No ka mea, ua olelo aku au ia Nabota no Iezereela, i ka i ana'ku ia ia, E haawi mai oe i kou malawaina ia'u no ke kala; a, ina e makemake oe, e haawi aku au ia oe i kekahi malawaina e nona; a olelo mai la oia, Aole au e haawi i kuu malawaina ia oe.
Ahab replied, “It's because I talked with Naboth from Jezreel and I asked him, ‘Give me your vineyard for cash, or if you want, I'll give you another vineyard instead.’ But he said, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’”
7 I aku la hoi o Iezebela kana wahine ia ia, Ke hoomalu nei anei oe i ke aupuni o ka Iseraela? E ala'e a e ai i ka berena, e olioli kou naau, na'u no e haawi i ka malawaina o Nabota no Iezereela ia oe.
“Aren't you the king of Israel?” his wife Jezebel replied. “Get up, have something to eat, and cheer up. I'll get you the vineyard of Naboth from Jezreel.”
8 Kakau iho la oia i na palapala ma ka inoa o Ahaba, a kau iho la i kona sila, a hoouna aku la i ua mau palapala la i na lunakahiko a me na haku na mea iloko o kona kulanakauhale, e noho ana me Nabota.
So she wrote some letters in Ahab's name and sealed them with his seal. She sent the letters to the elders and leaders in the town where Naboth lived.
9 Palapala ae la ia iloko o na palapala, i aku la, E kala aku i ka hookeai, a e hooku ia Nabota iluna imua o na kanaka;
In the letters she wrote to tell them, “Announce a religious fast, and give Naboth a seat of honor.
10 A e hooku hoi i na kanaka elua, i na keiki a Beliala, imua ona, e hoike ku e ia ia, e olelo ana, Ua hoi no wale oe i ke Akua a i ke alii. Alaila lawe aku ia ia mawaho, a e hailuku ia ia i make ia.
But seat two bad men opposite him and have them accuse him, saying, ‘You have cursed God and the king!’ Then take him out and stone him to death.”
11 Hana iho la na kanaka o ke kulanakauhale, o na lunakahiko a me na haku ka poe e noho ana ma kona kulanakauhale, e like me ka Iezebela i hoouna aku ai ia lakou, a e like me ka mea i kakauia maloko o na palapala ana i hoouna aku ai ia lakou.
So the elders and leaders who lived in Naboth's town did as Jezebel had said in the letters she had written and sent to them.
12 Kala ae la lakou i ka hookeai, a hooku ae la lakou ia Nabota iluna imua o na kanaka.
They announced a religious fast, and gave Naboth a seat of honor.
13 A hele mai la na kanaka elua, na keiki a Beliala, a noho iho la imua ona: hoike ku e ae la ua mau kanaka la o Beliala ia ia, ia Nabota, ma ke alo o na kanaka, i ae la, Ua hoino wale o Nabota i ke Akua a i ke alii. Alaila lawe ae la lakou ia ia mawaho o ke kulanakauhale, a hailuku aku la lakou ia ia me na pohaku a make ia.
Two bad men came and sat opposite him, and accused him in front of the people, saying, “Naboth has cursed God and the king.” So they took him outside the town and stoned him to death.
14 Alaila hoouna mai la lakou io Iezebela la, i mai la, Ua hailukuia o Nabota, a ua make.
Then they sent a message to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned. He's dead.”
15 Eia hoi kekahi, i ka lohe ana o Iezebela ua hailukuia o Nabota, a ua make, i aku la o Iezebela ia Ahaba, E eu e komo i ka malawaina o Nabota no Iezereela, ka mea ana i haawi ole ai ia oe no ke kala; no ka mea, aole e ola ana o Nabota, aka, ua make no.
As soon as Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and he was dead, Jezebel told Ahab, “Get up, go and claim ownership of the vineyard of Naboth from Jezreel, which he refused to sell you, for Naboth is no longer alive, but dead.”
16 Eia keia, i ka lohe ana o Ahaba, ua make o Nabota, ku ae la o Ahaba iluna e iho i ka malawaina o Nabota no Iezereela, e lawe ia nona.
When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he got up and went to claim ownership of Naboth's vineyard.
17 Hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia Elia no Tiseba, i mai la,
Then the Lord sent a message to Elijah the Tishbite:
18 E eu, e iho ae oe e halawai me Ahaba ke alii o ka Iseraela, o ko Samaria; aia hoi ia maloko o ka malawaina o Nabota kahi i iho ai oia e komo.
“Go and meet Ahab, king of Israel, in Samaria. He is right now in Naboth's vineyard, where he has gone to claim ownership of it.
19 E olelo aku hoi oe ia ia, i ka i ana aku, Ke i mai nei o Iehova, Ua pepehi ae nei anei oe, a ua lawe hoi nou? A e olelo aku oe ia ia, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, Ma kahi i palu ai o na ilio i ke koko o Nabota, malaila no e palu ai na ilio i kou koko, i kou ponoi no.
Tell him: This is what the Lord says: Have you murdered a man and robbed him? Then tell him: This is what the Lord says: In the very spot where dogs licked up Naboth's blood, dogs will lick up your own blood.”
20 A olelo ae la o Ahaba ia Elia, Ua loaa anei au ia oe, e kuu enemi? I aku la o Elia, Ua loaa no ia'u, no ka mea, ua kuai lilo aku oe ia oe iho e hana ma ka hewa imua o Iehova.
“So have you come to find me, my enemy?” Ahab asked Elijah. “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do what is evil in the Lord sight,” Elijah replied.
21 Eia hoi, e hoili au i ka poino maluna ou, a e kaili ae au i kou hope, a e hooki aku au i na kane mai Ahaba aku, a me ka mea paa a me ka mea paa ole iloko o ka Iseraela.
He says, “Watch out! I'm going to bring disaster on you and destroy your descendants. I will kill from every male of Ahab's line, both slave and free, in the whole of Israel.
22 A e hoohalike au i kau ohana me ka ohana a Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, a e like me ka ohana a Baasa ke keiki a Ahiia, no ka hoonaukiuki ana i hoohuhu mai ai oe ia'u, a i hoolilo ai hoi i ka Iseraela e lawehala.
I will make your house like that of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, and like that of Baasha, son of Ahijah, because you have angered me and made Israel sin.
23 A no Iezebela kekahi i olelo mai ai o Iehova, i mai la, E ai na ilio ia Iezebela ma ka pa o Iezereela.
And as far as Jezebel is concerned, the Lord says, ‘Dogs will eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.’
24 A o ko Ahaba mea make maloko o ke kulanakauhale, oia ka na ilio e ai ai; a o ka mea make ma kula, oia ka na manu o ka lewa e ai ai.
Those of Ahab's family who die in the town will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the countryside will be eaten by birds.”
25 Aohe mea like me Ahaba, ka mea i kuai lilo aku ia ia iho e hana ma ka hewa, ma ke alo o Iehova, ka mea a Iezebela kana wahine i hooikaika aku ai.
(No one else was so bad as Ahab, who sold himself to do what is evil in the Lord's sight, because his wife Jezebel encouraged him.
26 Hana hoi oia i ka mea e inaina nui ia i kona hahai ana mamuli o na akuakii, e like me ka Amora i hana'i a pau, ka poe a Iehova i kipaku aku ai imua o na mamo a Iseraela.
He did the most despicable things, worshiping idols like the Amorites the Lord had driven out before Israel.)
27 Eia hoi kekahi, i ka lohe ana o Ahaba i keia mau olelo, uhae ae la oia i kona kapa, a kau i ke kapa eleele i kona io, a hookeai iho. a moe iho la iloko o ke kapa eleele, a hele malie no hoi.
As soon as Ahab heard this message, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and fasted. He even went to bed in sackcloth, and walked around repentantly.
28 Hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia Elia no Tiseba, i mai la,
Then the Lord sent a message to Elijah the Tishbite:
29 Ke ike nei anei oe i ko Ahaba hoohaahaa ana ia ia iho imua o'u? No kona hoohaahaa ana ia ia iho imua o'u, aole au e lawe mai i ka poino, i kona mau la; aka, i na la o kana keiki e hoili ai au i ka poino maluna o kana ohana.
“Have you seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has humbled himself before me, I will not bring the disaster during his lifetime, but I will bring down disaster on his family in the lifetime of his son.”
