< II Na Lii 2 >

1 A I ke kokoke e lawe aku o Iehova ia Elia i ka lani ma ka puahiohio, hele pu aku la o Elia me Elisai mai Gilegala aku.
Shortly before the LORD took Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal,
2 I aku la o Elia ia Elisai, Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e noho oe ia nei; no ka mea, na hoouna o Iehova ia'u i Betela. I mai la o Elisai, Ma ke ola o Iehova, a ma ke ola o kou uhane, aole au e haalele ia oe. A hele pu laua i Betela.
and Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me on to Bethel.” But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.
3 A hele mai na haumana a ka poe kaula ma Betela io Elisai la, i mai la ia ia, Ua ike anei oe e lawe auanei o Iehova i keia la i kou haku mai kou poo aku? I mai la ia, Ae, ua ike au; e hamau oukou.
Then the sons of the prophets at Bethel came out to Elisha and said, “Do you know that the LORD will take your master away from you today?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Do not speak of it.”
4 I aku la o Elia ia ia, E Elisai e, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e noho oe maanei; no ka mea, ua hoouna mai o Iehova ia'u i Ieriko. I mai la kela, Ma ke ola o Iehova a ma ke ola o kou uhane, aole au o haalele ia oe. A hele pu laua i Ieriko.
And Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me on to Jericho.” But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Jericho.
5 A hele mai la na haumana a ka poe kaula ma Ieriko io Elisai la, i mai la ia ia, Ua ike anei oe, e lawe auanei o Iehova i keia la i kou haku mai kou poo aku? I aku la kela, Ae, na ike au; e hamau oukou.
Then the sons of the prophets at Jericho came up to Elisha and said, “Do you know that the LORD will take your master away from you today?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Do not speak of it.”
6 I aku la o Elia ia ia, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e noho oe maanei; no ka mea, ua hoouna mai o Iehova ia'u i Ioredane. I mai la kela, Ma ke ola o Iehova a ma ke ola o kou uhane, aole au e haalele ia oe, A hele aku la laua a elua.
And Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me on to the Jordan.” But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on.
7 A hele aku la na kanaka he kanalima no na haumana a ka poe kaula, a ku mai ma kahi loihi aku; a ku no laua a elua ma Ioredane.
Then a company of fifty of the sons of the prophets went and stood at a distance, facing Elijah and Elisha as the two of them stood by the Jordan.
8 A lawe aku la o Elia i kona aahu, a opiopi iho la, a hahau iho la i ka wai, a hookaawaleia'e la ia, ma o a ma o; a hele aku laua a elua i kela kapa ma ka aina maloo.
And Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up, and struck the waters, which parted to the right and to the left, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground.
9 A hiki aku la laua ma kela aoao, i aku la o Elia ia Elisai, E nonoi mai oe i ka mea a'u e hana aku ai nou, mamua o kuu laweia'na mai ou aku la. I mai la o Elisai, Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, i papalua o kou uhane maluna o'u.
After they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken away from you?” “Please, let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,” Elisha replied.
10 I aku la ia, He mea paakiki kau i noi mai nei; ina e ike oe ia'u i kuu laweia'na mai ou aku la, pela e hanaia mai ai nou, aka i ole, aole e hanaia mai.
“You have requested a difficult thing,” said Elijah. “Nevertheless, if you see me as I am taken from you, it will be yours. But if not, then it will not be so.”
11 A i ko laua hele ana'ku, e kamailio pu ana, aia hoi, he halekaa ahi, a me na lio ahi, a hookaawaleia laua a elua, a pii ae la o Elia iloko o ka puahiohio i ka lani.
As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire with horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up into heaven in a whirlwind.
12 Ike aku la o Elisai, auwe aku la, E kuu makua, e kuu makua, o ka halekaa o ka Iseraela, a me na hoohololio ona? Aole ia i ike hou aku ia ia, a lalau ikaika iho la i kona aahu, a nahae ia ia i na apana elua.
As Elisha watched, he cried out, “My father, my father, the chariots and horsemen of Israel!” And he saw Elijah no more. So taking hold of his own clothes, he tore them in two.
13 A lawe aku la ia i ka aahu o Elia, ka mea i haule iho mai ona iho la, a hoi aku la, a ku ma kapa o Ioredane.
Elisha also picked up the cloak that had fallen from Elijah, and he went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.
14 Lawe aku la ia i ka aahu o Elia, ka mea i haule mai ona mai la, a hahau iho la i ka wai, i aku la, Auhea la o Iehova ke Akua o Elia? A i kona hahau ana i ka wai, hookaawaleia'e la ia ma o a ma o; a hele mai o Elisai ma keia aoao.
Then he took the cloak of Elijah that had fallen from him and struck the waters. “Where now is the LORD, the God of Elijah?” he asked. And when he had struck the waters, they parted to the right and to the left, and Elisha crossed over.
15 A o na haumana a ka poe kaula ma Ieriko, i ku mai la, ike aku la lakou ia ia, i ae la, Ua kau mai ka uhane o Elia maluna o Elisai. A hele aku la lakou e halawai me ia, a kulou iho la lakou ma ka honua imua ona.
When the sons of the prophets who were facing him from Jericho saw what had happened, they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” And they went to meet him and bowed down to the ground before him.
16 A i aku la lakou ia ia, Aia hoi, eia no me kau poe kauwa he kanalima na kanaka ikaika; ke nonoi aku nei makou ia oe, e hele lakou e imi i kou haku; malia paha ua lawe aku ka makani o Iehova ia ia, a ua hoolei ia ia ma kekahi mauna, a ma kekahi awawa paha. I mai la ia, Mai hoouna aku oukou.
“Look now,” they said to Elisha, “we your servants have fifty valiant men. Please let them go and search for your master. Perhaps the Spirit of the LORD has taken him up and put him on one of the mountains or in one of the valleys.” “Do not send them,” Elisha replied.
17 A koi aku la lakou ia ia a hilahila oia, i mai la ia, E hoouna aku oukou. A hoouna aku la lakou i kanalima kanaka; a imi lakou ia ia i na la ekolu, aole i loaa.
But when they pressed him to the point of embarrassment, he said, “Send them.” And they sent fifty men, who searched for three days but did not find Elijah.
18 A hoi hou mai la lakou ia ia, (no ka mea, e noho ana no ia ma Ieriko, ) i aku la ia ia lakou, Aole anei au i olelo aku ia oukou, Mai hele oukou?
When they returned to Elisha, who was staying in Jericho, he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you not to go?”
19 I aku la na kanaka o ke kulanakauhale ia Elisai, Aia hoi, ua maikai ke kahua o ke kulanakauhale, e like me kuu haku e ike nei; aka, ua ino ka wai, a he aina hoohanau hapa.
Then the men of the city said to Elisha, “Please note, our lord, that the city’s location is good, as you can see. But the water is bad and the land is unfruitful.”
20 I aku la ia, E lawe mai ia'u i kiaha hou, a hahao i paakai maloko: a lawe mai lakou io na la.
“Bring me a new bowl,” he replied, “and put some salt in it.” So they brought it to him,
21 A hele aku ia i ke kumu o na wai, a hoolei iho la i ka paakai maloko, i aku la, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, Ua hoomaikai au i keia wai: aole he make hou mailaila mai, aole hoi he hoohanau hapa.
and Elisha went out to the spring, cast the salt into it, and said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘I have healed this water. No longer will it cause death or unfruitfulness.’”
22 Pela i hoomaikaiia'e ka wai a hiki i keia la, e like me ka olelo a Elisai ana i olelo ai.
And the waters there have been healthy to this day, according to the word spoken by Elisha.
23 Pii ae la ia mailaila aku i Betela; a i kona hele ana ma ke ala, hele na kamalii mailoko ae o ke kulanakauhale, a hoomaewaewa aku la ia ia, i aku la ia ia, E pii oe iluna, e ka ohulo; e pii oe iluna, e ka ohule.
From there, Elisha went up to Bethel, and as he was walking up the road, a group of boys came out of the city and jeered at him, chanting, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!”
24 Haliu ae la ia, a nana mai la ia lakou, a hoino mai la ia lakou ma ka inoa o Iehova: a hele mai na bea wahine elua, mai ka ululaau mai, a haehae i na kamalii, he kanaha kumamalua o lakou.
Then he turned around, looked at them, and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Suddenly two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.
25 Hele aku la ia mailaila aku i ka mauna o Karemela: a mailaila aku, hoi aku la ia i Samaria.
And Elisha went on to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
