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.
When Yahweh was about to take [the prophet] Elijah up to heaven in a (whirlwind/twisting wind), Elijah and [his fellow prophet] Elisha were traveling [south] from Gilgal [town].
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.
Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, because Yahweh has told [only] me to go to Bethel [town].” But Elisha replied, “Just as certainly as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not leave you!” So they went down [together] 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.
A group of prophets came to Elisha [and Elijah before they entered the town], and they asked Elisha, “Do you know that Yahweh is going to take your master/boss [Elijah] away from you today?” Elisha answered, “Certainly I know that, but don’t talk about it!” [IDM]
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.
Then Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, because Yahweh has told [only] me to go to Jericho.” But Elisha replied [again], “Just as certainly as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not leave you!” So they went [together] to Jericho [city].
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.
[As they neared] Jericho, a group of prophets who were from there came to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh is going to take your master/boss [Elijah] away from you today?” He answered again, “Certainly I know that, but don’t talk about it!” [IDM]
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.
Then Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, because Yahweh has told [only] me to go to the Jordan [River].” But [again] Elisha replied, “As certainly as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not leave you!” So they continued walking together.
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.
Fifty men from a group of prophets [who were from Jericho] also went, but they watched from a distance as Elijah and Elisha stopped at the edge of the Jordan [River].
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.
Then Elijah rolled up his cloak and struck the water with it. A path opened up for them through the river, and they walked across [as though they were] 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.
When they came to the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, “What do you want me to do for you before (I am taken away/Yahweh takes me away)?” Elisha replied, “I want to receive twice as much of your power [as you have had, ] (OR enable me to very powerfully continue your ministry).”
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.
Elijah replied, “You have asked for something which is difficult [for me to cause to happen]. But, if you see me when (I am taken from you/Yahweh takes me from you), you will get what you are requesting. But if you do not see me, then you will not get it.”
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 and talking, suddenly a chariot that had fire [surrounding it], pulled by horses which also had fire [surrounding them], appeared. [The chariot driver] drove the chariot between Elijah and Elisha and separated them. Then Elijah was taken up to heaven in a (whirlwind/twisting wind).
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.
Elisha saw it. He cried out, “My father/master! My father/master! The chariots of us Israeli people and their drivers [have taken my master away]!” [They disappeared into the sky, ] and Elisha never saw Elijah again. Then Elisha tore his own robe into two pieces [to show that he was sad].
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.
Elijah’s cloak [had fallen off when he was taken away, so] Elisha picked it up and returned to the bank of the Jordan [River].
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.
He [rolled up the cloak and] struck the water with it, and cried out, “Will Yahweh, the God who [enabled] Elijah [to perform miracles, enable me to do similar things]?” Then the water separated, and a path opened up for him, and Elisha went across.
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 group of prophets from Jericho saw what happened, they exclaimed, “Elisha now has the power that Elijah had!” [MTY] They walked over to him and bowed down in front of 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.
[One of] them said, “Sir, if you permit us, 50 of our strongest men will go and search for your master [on the other side of the river]. Perhaps the Spirit of Yahweh has left him on some mountain or in some valley.” Elisha replied, “No, do not send them.”
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 they kept insisting. Finally he was tired of saying “No,” and he said, “Okay, send them.” So 50 men searched for three days, but they 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?
They returned to Jericho, and Elisha was still there. He said to them, “I told you that you should not go, [because you would not find him]!” [RHQ]
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 leaders of [Jericho] city came to talk with Elisha. One of them said, “Our master, we have a problem. You can see that this is a very nice place [to live in]. But the water is bad, and as a result, crops will not grow on the land.”
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.
Elisha said to them, “Put some salt in a new bowl and bring the bowl to me.” 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.
Then he went out to the spring [from which the people in the town got water]. He threw the salt into the spring. Then he said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘I have made this water good/pure. No longer will anyone die, from having drunk this water, and now crops will be able to grow.’” [LIT]
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 water became pure, just as Elisha said it would be. Since that time it has always remained pure.
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.
Elisha left Jericho and went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, a group of young boys from Bethel [saw him and] started to make fun of him. They continued shouting, “Go away, you bald-headed man!”
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.
Elisha turned around and looked/glared at them. He asked Yahweh to (curse them/do something bad to them). Immediately two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of them.
25 Hele aku la ia mailaila aku i ka mauna o Karemela: a mailaila aku, hoi aku la ia i Samaria.
Elisha left Bethel and went to Carmel Mountain, and after that he returned to Samaria [city].
