II Na Lii 13
1 I KA makahiki iwakalua kumamakolu o Ioasa ke keiki a Ahazia ke alii o ka Iuda, i lilo ai o Iehoahaza, ke keiki a Iehu, i alii maluna o ka Iseraela ma Samaria, he umikumamahiku na makahiki o kona alii ana.
After Joash had been ruling Judah for almost 23 years, Jehu’s son Jehoahaz became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for 17 years.
2 A hana ino aku la ia imua o Iehova, a hele aku la ia mamuli o ka hewa o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, nana i hoolilo ka Iseraela i ka hewa; aole ia i haalele ia mea.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil and committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the people of Israel to sin. He did not stop committing those sins.
3 A hoaia ka inaina o Iehova i ka Iseraela, a haawi aku la ia ia lakou iloko o ka lima o Hazaela, ke alii o Suria, a iloko o ka lima o Benehadada, he keiki a Hazaela i na la a pau.
So Yahweh became very angry with the Israeli people, and he allowed the army of King Hazael of Syria and his son Ben-Hadad to defeat the Israelis many times.
4 A nonoi aku la o Iehoahaza ia Iehova, a hoolohe mai o Iehova ia ia: no kona ike ana i ke kaumaha o ka Iseraela, no ka mea, ua hookaumaha ke alii o Suria ia lakou.
Then Jehoahaz prayed to Yahweh [for help], and Yahweh heeded him, because he saw that the army of the king of Syria was oppressing the Israelis.
5 (A haawi mai la o Iehova i ka Iseraela i mea e pakele ai, a puka aku lakou mai lalo mai o ka lima o ko Suria: a noho iho la na mamo a Iseraela ma ko lakou halelewa, e like me ka manawa mamua.
Yahweh sent a leader to Israel, who enabled them to be freed from being controlled by Syria. After that, the Israeli people lived peacefully as they had done previously.
6 Aka, aole lakou i huli mai mai ka hewa mai o ko ka hale o Ieroboama, nana i hoolilo ka Iseraela i ka hewa, aka, hahai no lakou malaila: a e waiho ana hoi o Asetarota ma Samaria.)
But they still continued to commit the same kind of sins that Jeroboam and his family had committed and which led the Israelis to [also] sin. And the statue of the goddess Asherah remained in Samaria.
7 A i waiho iho la ia i na kanaka no Iehoahaza, he kanalima hoohololio, he umi na halekaa, a he umi tausani koa hele wawae wale no; no ka mea, ua luku aku ke alii o Suria ia lakou, a ua hoolike aku ia lakou me ka lepo no ka hehi ana.
Jehoahaz had only 50 men who rode on horses and ten chariots and 10,000 other soldiers, because the army of Syria had killed all the rest, trampling them like people walk on dirt.
8 A o na hana i koe a Iehoahaza, a o na mea a pau ana i hana'i, a me kona ikaika, aole anei i kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iseraela?
[If you want to read about] [RHQ] everything else that Jehoahaz did, you can read about it in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
9 A hiamoe iho la o Iehoahaza me kona poe kupuna; a kanu iho la lakou ia ia ma Samaria: a o Ioasa kana keiki, nohoalii iho la ia ma kona wahi.
Jehoahaz died [EUP] and was buried in Samaria. Then his son Jehoash became the king.
10 I ka makahiki kanakolukumamahiku o Ioasa ke alii o ka Iuda, i lilo ai o Iehoasa, ke keiki a Iehoahaza, i alii maluna o ka Iseraela ma Samaria, a he umikumamaono na makahiki o kona alii ana.
Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, started to rule in Israel after King Joash had been ruling in Judah for 23 years. Jehoash ruled in Samaria for 17 years.
11 A hana ino aku la ia imua o Iehova, aole ia i haalele i na hewa a pau o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, nana i hoolilo ka Iseraela i ka hewa; aka, hele no ia malaila.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He refused to turn away from worshiping idols, which was the sin that [many years earlier King] Jeroboam had told the Israeli people to commit.
12 A o na hana i koe o Ioasa, a o na mea a pau ana i hana'i, a me kona ikaika ana i kana aku ai ia Amazia ke alii o ka Iuda, aole anei i kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iseraela?
The other things that happened while Jehoash was king and all the things that he did are written in the book called ‘The Account of What the Kings of Israel Did’. In that account they wrote about Jehoash’s [army’s] victories, and their war with [the army of] King Amaziah of Judah.
13 A hiamoe iho la o Ioasa me kona poe kupuna; a noho iho la o Ieroboama maluna o kona nohoalii: a kanuia iho la o Ioasa ma Samaria me na'lii o ka Iseraela.
When Jehoash died, he was buried in Samaria where the [other] kings of Israel were buried. Then his son Jeroboam became king.
14 A mai iho la o Elisai, o kona mai ia i make ai. A iho mai o Ioasa, ke alii o ka Iseraela io na la, a auwe iho la maluna o kona maka, i aku la, E kuu makua, e kuu makua, o ka halekaa o ka Iseraela a me na hoohololio ona.
Elisha became very ill. Just before he died, King Jehoash went to Elisha and cried in front of him. [Saying the same words that Elisha had said when Elijah was taken to heaven], he said, “My father/master! My father/master! The chariots of us Israeli people and their drivers [are taking my master away]!”
15 I aka la o Elisai ia ia, E lawe i kikoo a me na pua. A lawe ae la ia nona i kikoo a me na pua.
Elisha said to him, “Bring to me a bow and some arrows!” So the king did that.
16 I aku la ia i ke alii o ka Iseraela, E kau aku i kou lima maluna o ke kikoo. A kau iho la ia i kona lima; a kau aku la o Elisai i kona mau lima maluna o na lima o ke alii.
Then Elisha told the king to put his hands on the bow [and prepare to shoot some arrows]. And then Elisha put his own hands on the king’s hands.
17 I aku la ia, E wehe ae i ka pukamakani ma ka hikina. A wehe ae la ia. Alaila i aku la o Elisai, E pana aku: a pana aku la ia. I aku la ia, O ka pua hoola no Iehova, a o ka pua hoola mai ko Suria mai: no ka mea, e pepehi auanei oe i ko Suria ma Apeka, a pau i ka lukuia.
Then Elisha told him, “[Have someone] open that window toward the east.” So they opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” So the king did. Then Elisha said, “That is the arrow that [indicates that your army] will defeat the Syrian army. Your army will completely defeat their [army] at Aphek [town].”
18 I aku la ia, E lawe i na pua. A lawe iho la no ia. I aku la ia i ke alii o ka Iseraela, E hahau i ka honus. A hahau iho la ia, ekolu hahau ana, a oki.
Then Elisha said, “Pick up the other arrows and strike the ground with them!” So the king picked up the arrows and struck the ground three times.
19 A huhu aku la ke kanaka o ke Akua ia ia, i aku la, O kau pono no, i elima, a i eono paha hahau ana, alaila ua hahau iho oe i ko Suria, a pau i ka lukuia: aka, ano, e hahau aku oe i ko Suria i ekolu hahau ana wale no.
But Elisha was angry with him. He exclaimed, “You should have struck the ground five or six times! If you had done that, your army would have defeated the Syrian [army] until they were completely wiped out! But now, [because you struck the ground only three times, ] your army will defeat them only three times!”
20 A make iho la o Elisai, a kanu iho la lakou ia ia. A hele mai ka poe hao wale o ka Moaba i ka aina, i ka hiki ana mai o ka makahiki.
Then Elisha died and was buried. Groups of raiders from Moab came to Israel each year during (spring/the time when the cold season was ending).
21 A i ko lakou kanu ana i kekahi kanaka, aia hoi, ike aku la lakou i ka poe hao wale, hoolei aku la lakou i ke kanaka iloko o ka halelua o Elisai; a i ka iho ana o ke kanaka a pili i na iwi o Elisai, ola mai la ia, a ku maluna o kona wawae.
One year, when some Israeli people were burying a man’s body, they saw a group of those raiders. [They were afraid, ] so quickly they threw that man’s body into the tomb where Elisha [had been buried, and they ran away]. But as soon as the man’s body touched Elisha’s bones, the dead man became alive again and jumped up!
22 A o Hazaela ko alii o Suria, hookaumaha aku la ia i ka Iseraela i na la a pau o Iehoahaza.
King Hazael of Syria [sent soldiers to] oppress the Israeli people all during the years that Jehoahaz [ruled Judah].
23 A manao mai o Iehova ia lakou, a ahonui mai ia lakou, a nana mai ia lakou no kana berita ia Aberahama, ia Isaaka, a me Iakoha, aole ona makemake e luku aku ia lakou, aole hoi e hookuke aku ia lakou mai kona alo aku i keia manawa.
But Yahweh was very kind [DOU] to the Israeli people. He helped them because of the agreement that he had made with [their ancestors] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He did not get rid of the Israelis, and he still has not rejected them.
24 A make aku la o Hazaela ke alii o Suria; a noho alii iho la o Benehadada, kana keiki, ma kona hakahaka.
When Hazael the king of Syria died, his son Ben-Hadad became the king.
25 A hoi aku la o Iehoaza ke keiki a Iehoahaza, a lawe aku la i na kulanakauhale mai ka lima aku o Benehadada, ke keiki a Hazaela, i ka mea ana i lawe ae mai ka lima aku o Iehoahaza kona makuakane ma ke kaua ana. Lanakila aku la o Ioasa maluna ona, ekolu no lanakila ana, a hoihoi mai ia i na kulanakauhale o ka Iseraela.
[The army of] King Jehoash of Israel defeated [the army of] King Ben-Hadad three times, and recaptured the cities that Ben-Hadad’s army had captured during the time that Jehoash’s father Jehoahaz was ruling Israel.
