< II Na Lii 1 >

1 A LAILA kipi ae la ka Moaba i ka Iseraela, mahope o ka make ana o Ahaba.
Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
2 A haule iho la o Ahazia ilalo i kona papaholo, mailuna mai o ka pahale ma Samaria, a mai iho la: a hoouna aku la ia i na elele, a i aku la ia lakou, E hele oukou e ninau aku ia Baalazebuba, ke akua o Ekerona, i ko'u ola ana i keia mai.
Then Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber in Samaria, and was injured. So he sent for messengers and said to them, “Go, ask Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover from this injury.”
3 Olelo mai la ka anela o Iehova ia Elia no Tiseba, E ku, a hele aku e halawai me na elele o ke alii o Samaria, a e i aku ia lakou, No ka nele anei o ka Iseraela i ke Akua, nolaila hele ai oukou e ninau ia Baalazebuba, ke akua o Ekerona?
But the angel of Yahweh said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and ask them, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to consult with Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron?
4 Ano hui, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, Aole oe e iho ilalo, mai kahi moe mai au i pii aku ai; aka, e make io no oe. A hoi aku la o Elia.
Therefore Yahweh says, “You will not come down from the bed to where you have gone up; instead, you will certainly die.”'” Then Elijah left.
5 A i ka hoi ana'ku o na elele, ninau mai la kela ia lakou, No ke aha la oukou i hoi hou mai nei?
When the messengers returned to Ahaziah, he said to them, “Why have you returned?”
6 I aku la lakou ia ia, I hele mai kekahi kanaka e halawai me makou, a i mai la ia makou, Ou haele, e hoi hou i ke alii, nana oukou i hoouna mai nei, a e olelo aku ia ia, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, No ka nele anei o ka Iseraela i ke Akua, nolaila anei i hoouna aku ai oe e ninau ia Baalazebuba ke akua o Ekerona? no ia mea, aole oe e iho ilalo mai kahi moe mai au i pii aku ai, aka, e make io no oe.
They said to him, “A man came to meet us who said to us, 'Go back to the king who sent you, and say to him, “Yahweh says this: 'Is it because there is no God in Israel that you sent men to consult with Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not come down from the bed to which you have gone up; instead, you will certainly die.'”'”
7 Ninau mai la oia ia lakou, Heaha la ke ano o ke kanaka i pii mai ai e halawai me oukou, a i hai mai hoi ia oukou i keia mau olelo?
Ahaziah said to his messengers, “What sort of man was he, the one who came up to meet you and said these words to you?”
8 I aku la lakou ia ia, He kanaka huluhulu, a na kaeiia kona puhaka i ke kaei ili. I mai la ia, O Elia no ia no Tiaeba.
They answered him, “He wore a garment made of hair and had a leather belt wrapped around his waist.” So the king replied, “That is Elijah the Tishbite.”
9 Alaila hoouna aku ke alii io na la i lunakanalima me kona poe he kanalima; a pii aku la ia io na la; aia hoi, e noho ana ia maluna pono o kekahi puu; i aku la oia ia ia, E ke kanaka o ke Akua, ua i mai ke alii, E iho oe ilalo.
Then the king sent a captain with fifty soldiers to Elijah. The captain went up to Elijah where he was sitting on the top of a hill. The captain spoke to him, “You, man of God, the king has said, 'Come down.'”
10 Olelo mai la o Elia, i mai la i ka lunakanalima, Ina he kanaka wau no ke Akua, e haule mai ke ahi mai ka lani mai, a e hoopau ia oe, a me kou poe he kanalima. Alaila haule mai ke ahi mai ka lani mai, a hoopau iho la ia ia, a me kona poe he kanalima.
Elijah answered and said to the captain, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.” Then fire came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men.
11 Hoouna hou aku la ia io na la i lunakanalima e ae, me kona poe he kanalima; a olelo aku la ia ia, i aku la, E ke kanaka o ke Akua, ua i mai ke alii peneia, E iho koke oe ilalo.
Again King Ahaziah sent to Elijah another captain with fifty soldiers. This captain also said to Elijah, “You, man of God, the king says, 'Come down quickly.'”
12 Olelo mai la o Elia, i mai la ia lakou, Ina he kanaka wau no ke Akua, e haule mai ke ahi mai ka lani mai, a e hoopau ia oe, a me kou poe he kanalima. A haule mai ke ahi a ke Akua mai ka lani mai, a hoopau ia ia, a me kona poe he kanalima.
Elijah answered and said to them, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.” Again the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men.
13 A hoouna hou aku la ia i luna o ke kolu o ke kanalima me kona poe he kanalima; a pii aku la ke kolu o ka lunakanalima, a hele aku a kukuli iho la imua o Elia, a nonoi aku ia ia, i aku la ia ia, E ke kanaka o ke Akua, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e malamaia ko'u oia, a me ke ola o keia kanalima, kau poe kauwa imua o kou maka.
Yet again the king sent a third group of fifty warriors. This captain went up, fell on his knees before Elijah, and implored him and said to him, “You, man of God, I ask you, let my life and the life of these fifty servants of yours be precious in your sight.
14 Aia hoi, i haule mai ke ahi mai ka lani mai, a hoopau iho la i na lunakanalima elua mamua, a me ko laua mau kanalima: ano hoi, e malamaia ko'u oia imua ou maka.
Indeed, fire came down from heaven and consumed the first two captains with their men, but now let my life be precious in your sight.”
15 Olelo mai la ka anela o Iehova ia Elia, E iho oe ilalo me ia; mai makau ia ia. Ku ae la ia, a iho pu iho la me ia i ke alii.
The angel of Yahweh said to Elijah, “Go down with him. Do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah arose and went down with him to the king.
16 I aku la oia ia ia, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, No kou hoouna ana'ku i na elele e ninau ia Baalazebuba ke akua o Ekerona, no ka nele anei o ka Iseraela i ke Akua e ninau ai ma kana olelo? no ia mea, aole oe e iho ilalo mai kahi moe au i pii aku ai, aka, e make io no oe.
Later Elijah said to Ahaziah, “This is what Yahweh says, 'You have sent messengers to consult with Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron. Is it because there is no God in Israel from whom you can ask for information? So now, you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up; you will certainly die.'”
17 A make iho la no ia, e like me ka Iehova olelo a Elia i olelo ai; a noho alii iho la o Iehorama ma kona hakahaka, i ka lua o ka makahiki o Iehorama ke keiki a Iehosapata ke alii o ka Iuda; no ka mea, aohe ana keiki.
So King Ahaziah died according to the word of Yahweh that Elijah had spoken. Joram began to reign in his place, in the second year of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, because Ahaziah had no son.
18 A o na mea i koe a Ahazia ana i hana'i, aole anei i kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iseraela?
As for the other matters concerning Ahaziah, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
