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 in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Joram son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria; he 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.
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, but not like his father and his mother; for he removed the sacred stone pillar 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 held on to the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin; he did not turn away from them.
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.
Now Mesha king of Moab bred sheep. He had to give to the king of Israel 100,000 lambs and the wool of 100,000 rams.
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 after Ahab died, 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.
So King Joram left Samaria at that time to mobilize all Israel for war.
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.
He sent a message to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, saying, “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me against Moab to battle?” Jehoshaphat replied, “I will go. I am as you are, my people as your people, 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.
Then he said, “By which way should we attack?” Jehoshaphat answered, “By way of 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 with the king of Judah and the king of Edom. They wandered around for seven days, and then there was no water for the army or for the animals 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!
So the king of Israel said, “What is this? Has Yahweh called three kings to give 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 Yahweh, that we may consult Yahweh by him?” One of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, “Elisha son of Shaphat is here, who 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.
Jehoshaphat said, “The word of Yahweh is with him.” So the king of Israel, 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.
Elisha said to the king of Israel, “What have I to do with you? Go to the prophets of your father and mother.” So the king of Israel said to him, “No, because Yahweh has called these three kings together to give 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.
Elisha replied, “As Yahweh of hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely were it not for the fact that I honor the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not pay any attention to you, or even look at 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 musician.” Then it came to pass when the harpist played, the hand of Yahweh came upon Elisha.
16 I mai la ia, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, E hana i na luawai a paapu keia awawa.
He said, “Yahweh says this, 'Make this dry river valley full of trenches.'
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 Yahweh says this, 'You will not see wind, neither will you see rain, but this river valley will be filled with water, and you will drink, you and your livestock and all your animals.'
18 A he mea uuku keia i na maka o Iehova; e haawi no hoi ia i ka Moaba iloko o ko oukou lima.
This is an easy thing in the sight of Yahweh. He will also give you victory over the Moabites.
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.
You will attack every fortified city and every good city, cut down every good tree, stop up all springs of water, and ruin every good piece of land with rocks.”
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.
So in the morning about the time of offering the sacrifice, there came water from the direction of Edom; 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.
Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings had come to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all who were able to put on armor, and they stood at 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.
They awakened early in the morning and the sun reflected on the water. When the Moabites saw the water opposite them, it looked 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.
They exclaimed, “This is blood! The kings have certainly been destroyed, and they have killed each other! So now, Moab, let us go plunder them!”
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.
When they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites surprised them and attacked the Moabites, who fled before them. The army of Israel drove the Moabites across the land, killing them.
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.
They destroyed the cities, and on every good piece of land every man threw a rock until it was covered up. They stopped up every spring of water and chopped down all the good trees. Only Kir Hareseth was left with its rocks in place. But the soldiers armed with slings surrounded and attacked 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.
When King Mesha of Moab saw that the battle was lost, he took with him seven hundred swordsmen to break through to the king of Edom, but they failed.
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, who should have reigned after him, and offered him as a burnt offering upon the wall. So there was great anger against Israel, and the Israelite army left King Mesha and returned to their own land.
