II Oihanaalii 18
1 A IA ia Iehosapata ka waiwai, a me ka hanohano he nui loa, a kuikahi pu ae la ia me Ahaba.
Now Jehoshaphat was very wealthy and highly honored, and he made a marriage alliance with Ahab.
2 A pau ae la kekahi mau makahiki, iho iho la oia ilalo io Ahaba la ma Samaria: a pepebi iho la o Ahaba nana, a na na kanaka me ia i na hipa, a me na bipi he nui loa, a noi ikaika mai ia ia e pii pu me ia i Ramota-Gileada.
Some years later he went to pay Ahab a visit in Samaria. Ahab sacrificed many sheep and cattle for him and the people who accompanied him, and encouraged him to attack Ramoth-gilead.
3 Olelo mai la o Ahaba ke alii o ka Iseraela ia Iehosapata i ke alii o ka Iuda, Aole anei oe e hele pu me au i Ramota-Gileada? I aku la kela, E like me oe pela no au, e like me kou poe kanaka, pela ko'u poe kanaka, o kakou pu ma ke kaua.
Ahab, king of Israel, asked Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, “Would you go with me against Ramoth-gilead?” Jehoshaphat replied, “You and I are as one, and my men and your men are as one. We will join forces with you in this war.”
4 I aku la o Iehosapata i ke alii o ka Iseraela, E ninau oe i ka olelo a Iehova i keia la.
Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “But first though, please find out what the Lord says.”
5 Alaila houluulu ae la ke alii o ka Iseraela i na kaula eha haneri kanaka, a olelo aku la ia lakou, E hele anei makou i Ramota-Gileada i ke kaua? a e oki paha? I mai la lakou ia ia, O pii, a na ke Akua ia e haawi mai iloko o ka lima o ke alii.
So the king of Israel brought out the prophets—four hundred of them—and he asked them, “Should we go up and attack Ramoth-gilead, or should I not?” “Yes, go ahead,” they replied, “for God will hand it over to the king.”
6 Olelo aku la o Iehosapata, Aole anei he kaula e ae o Iehova maanei i ninau kakou ia ia?
But Jehoshaphat asked, “Isn't there another prophet of the Lord here that we can ask?”
7 I mai la ke alii o ka Iseraela ia Iehosapata, Eia no kekahi kanaka i koe ma ona la e imi ai ia Iehova, o Mikaia kona inoa, ke keiki a Imela, aka, he inaina ko'u ia ia; no ka mea, aole i wanana mai ia no'u i ka pomaikai, aka, i ka poino wale no i kona mau la a pau. I aku la o Iehosapata, Mai olelo ke alii pela.
“Yes, there's another man who could consult the Lord,” the king of Israel replied, “but I don't like him because he never prophesies anything good for me—it's always bad! His name is Micaiah, son of Imlah.” “You shouldn't talk like that,” said Jehoshaphat.
8 Kahea aku la ke alii o ka Iseraela i kekahi o na luna haku, E kii koke oe ia Mikaia ke keiki a Imela.
The king of Israel called over one of his officials and told him, “Bring me Micaiah, son of Imlah, right away.”
9 A noho iho la ke alii o ka Iseraela a me Iehosapata ke alii o ka Iuda, kela mea keia mea maluna o kona nohoalii, ua aahu laua i ko laua aahu alii, a noho laua ma kahi akea ma ka puka kahi e komo ai iloko o Samaria; a wanana iho la na kaula a pau imua o laua.
Dressed in their royal robes, the king of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah, were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor beside the gate of Samaria, with all of the prophets prophesying in front of them.
10 A o Zedakia ke keiki a Kenaana, hana iho la ia nona i mau kiwi hao, a olelo mai la, Penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova, Me keia mail mea oe e pahu aku ai i ko Suria, a pau lakou.
One of them, Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, had made himself iron horns. He announced, “This is what the Lord says: ‘With these horns you will gore the Arameans until they're dead!”
11 A wanana ae la ka poe kaula a pau loa pela, i mai la, E pii i Ramota-Gileada, a lanakila; ua haawi mai o Iehova ia wahi iloko o ka lima o ke alii.
All the prophets were prophesying the same thing, saying, “Go ahead, attack Ramoth-gilead; you will be successful, for the Lord will hand it over to the king.”
12 A o ka elele, ka mea i hele ae e kii aku ia Mikaia, olelo aku la oia ia ia, i aku la, Aia hoi, o na olelo a pau a na kaula e wanana ai, hookahi wale no ia, o ka pomaikai no ke alii; i hookahi hoi kau olelo me ka lakou, e olelo oe ma ka pomaikai.
The messenger who went to call Micaiah told him, “Look, all the prophets are unanimous in prophesying positively to the king. So please make sure to speak positively like them.”
13 I mai la o Mikaia, Ma ke ola o Iehova, o na mea a ko'u Akua i olelo mai ai, oia ka'u o olelo aku ai.
But Micaiah replied, “As the Lord lives, I can only say what my God tells me.”
14 A hiki ia i ke alii, olelo ke alii ia ia, E Mikaia, e pii anei makou i Ramota-Gileada, i ke kaua? a e oki paha? I mai kela, E pii, e pomaikai, a e haawiia ua poe la iloko o ko olua lima.
When he came before the king, the king asked him, “Should we go up and attack Ramoth-gilead, or should I not?” “Yes, go ahead and be victorious,” Micaiah replied, “for they will be handed over to the king.”
15 Olelo aku la ke alii ia ia, Ehia la ka'u mau kauoha hoohiki aku ia oe, i ole oe e olelo mai ia'u i ka mea e, i ka mea oiaio wale no, ma ka inoa o Iehova?
But the king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear to tell me only the truth in the name of the Lord?”
16 I mai la kela, Ua ike au i ka Iseraela a pau e auwana ana ma na mauna e like me na hipa kahu ole; olelo mai o Iehova, aole o lakou haku, e hoi kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona hale iho me ka maluhia.
So Micaiah answered, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains like sheep without a shepherd. The Lord said, ‘These people have no master; let each of them go home in peace.’”
17 I aku la ke alii o ka Iseraela ia Iehosapata, Aole anei au i olelo aku ia oe, aole wanana mai kela no'u i ka pomaikai, aka, i ka poino wale no?
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn't I tell you he never prophesies anything good for me, only bad?”
18 I mai la ke kaula, No ia mea, e hoolohe mai oe i ka olelo a Iehova; ua ike au ia Iehova e noho ana maluna o kona nohoalii, a o ka poe koa a pau o na lani e ku ana ma kona lima akau, a me kona lima hema.
Micaiah went on to say, “So listen to what the Lord says. I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, surrounded by the whole army of heaven standing to his right and to his left.
19 Olelo ae la o Iehova, Owai la ka mea e hoowalewale ia Ahaba ke alii o ka Iseraela i pii aku oia a make ma Ramota-Gileada? Olelo ae la kekahi peneia, a o kekahi hoi peneia.
The Lord asked, ‘Who will trick Ahab, king of Israel, into attacking Ramoth-gilead so he will be killed there?’ One said this, another said that, and another said something else.
20 Alaila, hiki mai kekahi uhane, a ku ae la imua o Iehova, a olelo aku la ia, Owau ke hoowalewale ia ia. I ae la o Iehova, Pehea?
Finally a spirit came and approached the Lord and said, ‘I will trick him.’ ‘How are you going to do that?’ the Lord asked.
21 I aku la kela, E hele au a e lilo au i uhane wahahee iloko o na waha o kona poe kaula a pau. I ae la o Iehova, E hoowalewale oe, a e lanakila hoi; e hele oe a hana no pela.
‘I will go and be a lying spirit and make all his prophets tell lies,’ the spirit replied. ‘That will work,’ the Lord responded. ‘Go and do it.’
22 Ano hoi, ua haawi mai o Iehova i ka uhane wahahee iloko o ka waha o keia poe kaula au, a o Iehova hoi ua olelo mai oia nau i ka poino.
As you see, the Lord has put a lying spirit into these prophets of yours, and the Lord has pronounced your death sentence.”
23 Alaila, hookokoke o Zedakia ke keiki a Kenaana, a kui mai ia Mikaia ma ka papalina, me ka i ana mai, Ma ka aoao hea i hele ai ka uhane o Iehova mai o'u aku nei e olelo aku ia oe.
Then Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, went and slapped Micaiah in the face, and demanded, “Which way did the Spirit of the Lord go when he left me to speak to you?”
24 I aku la o Mikaia, E ike auanei oe, i ka la e komo ai oe iloko o ke keena iloko, e pee iho.
“You'll soon find out when you try and find some secret place to hide!” Micaiah replied.
25 Olelo aku la ke alii o ka Iseraela, E lawe oukou ia Mikaia, a e hoihoi ia ia io Amona la i ka luna iloko o ke kulanakauhale, a ia Ioasa ke keiki a ke alii.
The king of Israel ordered, “Place Micaiah under arrest and take him back to Amon the governor of the city and to my son Joash.
26 E olelo aku ia laua penei, Ua i mai la ke alii, e hookomo i keia kanaka iloko o ka hale paahao, a e hanai ia ia i ka berena o ka pilikia a me ka wai o ka pilikia, a hoi mai au me ka maluhia.
Tell them these are the king's instructions: ‘Put this man in jail. Give him only bread and water until my safe return.’”
27 I aku la o Mikaia, Ina e hoi io mai oe me ka maluhia, aole o Iehova i olelo mai ma o'u nei. Olelo aku la ia, E hoolohe oukou, e na kanaka a pau.
“If you do in fact return safely then the Lord has not spoken through me,” Micaiah declared. “Pay attention everyone to all I've said!”
28 Alaila pii aku la ke alii o ka Iseraela, a me Iehosapata, ke alii o ka Iuda, i Ramota-Gileada.
The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, went to attack Ramoth-gilead.
29 Olelo mai la ke alii o ka Iseraela ia Iehosapata, E huna au ia'u iho, a e komo iloko o ke kaua, aka, e komo oe i kou kapa alii. A huna iho ke alii o ka Iseraela ia ia iho, a komo iloko o ke kaua.
The king of Israel told Jehoshaphat, “When I go into battle I will be in disguise, but you should wear your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.
30 Ua kauoha ke alii o Suria i na luna o kona mau hale kaa, i aku la, Mai kaua aku i kekahi mea uuku, aole i kekahi mea nui, i ke alii o ka Iseraela wale no.
The king of Aram had already given these orders to his chariot commanders: “Head straight for the king of Israel alone. Don't fight with anyone else, whoever they are.”
31 A ike mai na luna o na hale kaa ia Iehosapata, i iho la lakou, O ke alii ia o ka Iseraela: a puana mai la lakou ia ia a puni e kaua mai ia ia; aka, kahea aku la o Iehosapata, a kokua mai o Iehova ia ia, a hoohuli ae la ke Akua ia lakou mai ona'ku.
So when the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they shouted, “There's the king of Israel!” So they turned to attack him, but Jehoshaphat called out for help, and the Lord did help him. God redirected them away from him,
32 Ike mai la na luna o na hale kaa, aole ke alii ia o ka Iseraela, huli ae la lakou mai ona aku la.
for when the chariot commanders realized that he wasn't the king of Israel, they stopped chasing him.
33 A pana wale mai la kekahi kanaka me kana kakaka, a ku i ke alii o ka Iseraela ma kahi ami o kona paleumauma; a olelo oia i ka mea nana e malama i kona hale kaa, E huli ae kou lima, a e lawe ia'u mai ke kaua aku, no ka mea, ua eha au.
However, an enemy archer shot an arrow at random, hitting the king of Israel between the joints of his armor by his breastplate. The king told his charioteer, “Turn around and get me out of the fight, because I've been wounded!”
34 Mahuahua ae la ke kaua ia la; aka, noho iho la ke alii o ka Iseraela iloko o kona hale kaa, e ku e i ko Suria, a ahiahi; a i ka napoo ana o ka la, make iho la ia.
The battle lasted all day. The king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot to face the Arameans until the evening. But he died at sunset.
