< II Na Lii 3 >
1 A LILO iho la o Iorama ke keiki a Ahaba i alii maluna o ka Iseraela ma Samaria, i ka makahiki he umi kumamawalu o Iehosapata, ke alii o ka Iuda, a he umikumamalua na makahiki ona i alii ai.
Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.
2 Hana ino aku la ia imua o Iehova, aole nae i like me ka kona makuakane a me ka kona makuwahine; no ka mea, lawe aku la ia i ke kii o Baala, ka mea a kona makuakane i hana'i.
And he worked evil in the sight of the LORD; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal that his father had made.
3 Aka, hoopili aku la ia i na hewa o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, nana i hoolilo ka Iseraela i ka hewa; aole ia i haalele ia mau mea.
Nevertheless he joined to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
4 A o Mesa ke alii o ka Moaba, he mea malama holoholona, a hookupu aku la ia no ke alii o ka Iseraela, i hookahi haneri tausani hipakeiki, a i hookahi haneri tausani hipakane me ka hulu.
And Mesha king of Moab was a sheep master, and rendered to the king of Israel an hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred thousand rams, with the wool.
5 A i ka wa i make ai o Ahaba, kipi mai la ke alii o ka Moaba i ke alii o ka Iseraela.
But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
6 A hele aku la o Iorama ke alii mai Samaria aku, a helu aku i ka Iseraela a pau.
And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel.
7 Hele aku la ia, a hoouna aku io Iehosapata la ke alii o ka Iuda, i aku la, Ua kipi mai ke alii o ka Moaba ia'u: e hele pu anei oe me au e kaua aku i ka Moaba? I mai la ia, E hele no wau; ua like au me oe, ua like ko'u kanaka me kou kanaka, ua like ko'u mau lio me kou mau lio.
And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab has rebelled against me: will you go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as you are, my people as your people, and my horses as your horses.
8 A ninau mai la ia, Ma ke ala hea kaua e pii aku ai? I aku la ia, Ma ke ala o ka waonahele o Edoma.
And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom.
9 A hele aku la ke alii o ka Iseraela, a me ke alii o ka Iuda, a me ke alii o ka Edoma; a hele poai lakou i ka hele ana i na la ehiku, aohe wai no ka poe kaua, a no na holoholona mahope o lakou.
So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven days’ journey: and there was no water for the host, and for the cattle that followed them.
10 I iho la ke alii o ka Iseraela, Auwe! no ka mea, ua hoakoakoa mai o Iehova i keia mau alii ekolu e hoolilo ia lakou iloko o ka lima o ka Moaba!
And the king of Israel said, Alas! that the LORD has called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab!
11 I mai o Iehosapata, Aole anei he kaula a Iehova maanei, i ninau aku ai kakou ia Iehova ma ona la? Olelo aku la kekahi o na kauwa a ke alii o ka Iseraela, i aku la, Eia no o Elisai, ke keiki a Sapata, ka mea i ninini i ka wai maluna o na lima o Elia.
But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may inquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel’s servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah.
12 I mai la o Iehosapata, Ia ia no ka olelo a Iehova, A hele aku la ke alii o ka Iseraela, a me Iehosapata, a me ke alii o ka Edoma, io na la.
And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the LORD is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
13 Ninau mai la o Elisai i ke alii o ka Iseraela, Heaha ka'u ia oe? e hele oe i na kaula a kou makuakane, a me na kaula a kou makuwahine. I aku la ke alii o ka Iseraela ia ia, Aole, no ka mea, ua hoakoakoa mai o Iehova i keia mau alii ekolu, e hoolilo ia lakou iloko o ka lima o ka Moaba.
And Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with you? get you to the prophets of your father, and to the prophets of your mother. And the king of Israel said to him, No: for the LORD has called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
14 I mai la o Elisai, Ma ke ola o Iehova o na kaua, imua ona a'u e ku nei, ina i manao ole au ia Iehosapata ke alii o ka Iuda, aole au e nana aku ia oe, aole hoi e ike ia oe.
And Elisha said, As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward you, nor see you.
15 E lawe mai i o'u nei i ka mea nana e hookani. A i kana hookani ana, maluna ona ka lima o Iehova.
But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came on him.
16 I mai la ia, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, E hana i na luawai a paapu keia awawa.
And he said, Thus says the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches.
17 No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, Aole oukou e ike i ka makani, aole hoi oukou e ike i ka ua; aka, e hoopihaia auanei keia awawa i ka wai i inu ai oukou, a me na bipi a oukou, a me na holoholona a oukou.
For thus says the LORD, You shall not see wind, neither shall you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that you may drink, both you, and your cattle, and your beasts.
18 A he mea uuku keia i na maka o Iehova; e haawi no hoi ia i ka Moaba iloko o ko oukou lima.
And this is but a light thing in the sight of the LORD: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.
19 A e luku aku oukou i na kulanakauhale a pau i paa i ka pa pohaku, a me na kulanakauhale maikai a pau, a e kua aku oukou i na laau maikai a pau, a e pani aku i na punawai a pau, e luku aku hoi i na kihapai maikai a pau i ka pohaku.
And you shall smite every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.
20 A i kakahiaka, i ka manawa i kaumahaia'ku ai ka mohai ai, aia hoi, kahe mai la ka wai mai ka aoao o Edoma mai, a hoopihaia ka aina i ka wai.
And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
21 A lohe ka Moaba a pau, ua hele mai na 'lii e kaua me lakou, hoakoakoa ae la lakou i na mea a pau e kaei ana i ke kaei kaua, a keu aku, a ku lakou ma ka mokuna.
And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on armor, and upward, and stood in the border.
22 Ala ae la lakou i kakahiaka nui, a puka mai ka la maluna o ka wai, a ike aku la ka Moaba i ka wai mai o lakou aku, he ulaula e like me ke koko.
And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone on the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood:
23 I ae la lakou, He koko keia; ua lukuia na'lii, ua pepehi kekahi i kekahi; ina kakou i ka waiwai pio, e ka Moaba.
And they said, This is blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
24 A hiki aku lakou i kahi hoomoana o ka Iseraela, ku mai la ka Iseraela, a pepehi mai la i ka Moaba, a hee aku la imua o lakou; a komo aku la lakou iloko, a pepehi aku la i ka Moaba.
And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in their country.
25 A wawahi aku la lakou i na kulanakauhale, a hoolei aku la kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona pohaku ma na kihapai maikai a pau a hoopiha iho la; a pani aku la lakou i na punawai a pau, a kua aku la i na laau maikai a pau, a koe aku la na pohaku iloko o Kireharaseta; aka, hoopuni aku la nae na mea maa, a luku aku la ia.
And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kirharaseth left they the stones thereof; however, the slingers went about it, and smote it.
26 A ike aku la ke alii o ka Moaba, ua ikaika mai ke kaua ia ia, lawe aku la ia i ehiku haneri kanaka mea pahikaua, a hooikaika e hiki aku i ke alii o ka Edoma, aole nae lakou i hiki.
And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through even to the king of Edom: but they could not.
27 Alaila lawe aku la ia i kana keiki hiapo, i ka mea nona ke aupuni mahope ona, a kaumaha aku ia ia i mohaikuni maluna o ka papohaku. A ua nui ka inaina i ka Iseraela; a haalele lakou ia ia, a hoi aku la i ka aina.
Then he took his oldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering on the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
