II Na Lii 4

1 O KEKAHI wahine no na wahine a na haumana a ka poe kaula, auwe aku la oia ia Elisai, i aku la, Ua make kau kauwa o kun kane; a ua ike no oe, ua makau kau kauwa ia Iehova: a ua kii mai ka mea i aieia kana e lawe aku i kuu mau keikikane i mau kauwa nana.

Now a certain woman, the wife of one of the sons of the prophets, came crying to Elisha and said, Your servant my husband is dead; and to your knowledge he was a worshipper of the Lord; but now, the creditor has come to take my two children as servants in payment of his debt.

2 I aku la o Elisai ia ia, Heaha ka'u e hana aku ai nou? e hai mai oe ia'u, heaha kau mea iloko o ka hale? I mai la ia, Aole kekahi mea i au kauwawahine iloko o ka hale, hookahi ipu aila wale no.

Then Elisha said to her, What am I to do for you? say now, what have you in the house? And she said, Your servant has nothing in the house but a pot of oil.

3 I aku la ia, E hele oe, e noi aku i kou mau hoalauna a pau i na ipu nou, i na ipu kaawale hoi; mai noi uuku.

Then he said, Go out to all your neighbours and get vessels, a very great number of them.

4 A i kou komo ana mai iloko, e pani aku i ka puka mahope ou a mahope o kau mau keikikane, a e ninini ae maloko o ia mau ipu a pau, a hookaawale i ka mea i piha.

Then go in, and, shutting the door on yourself and your sons, put oil into all these vessels, putting on one side the full ones.

5 A hele ia mai ona aku la, a pani aku la i ka puka mahope ona a mahope o kana mau keikikane, na mea i lawe mai ia ia, a ninini iho la ia.

So she went away, and when the door was shut on her and her sons, they took the vessels to her and she put oil into them.

6 A piha na ipu i aku la ia i kana keiki, E lawe hou mai i ipu, I mai la kela ia ia, Aohe ipu i koe. A mau iho la ka aila.

And when all the vessels were full, she said to her son, Get me another vessel. And he said, There are no more. And the flow of oil was stopped.

7 Alaila hele ia a hai aku i ke kanaka o ke Akua: i mai la kela ia ia, E hele oe, a e kuai aku i ka aila, a hookaa aku i kau aie, a e ola oe, a me kau mau keiki i ke koena.

So she came to the man of God and gave him word of what she had done. And he said, Go and get money for the oil and make payment of your debt, and let the rest be for the needs of yourself and your sons.

8 A i kekahi la, hele aku la o Elisai i Sunema, a malaila he wahine koikoi, a koi mai la kela ia ia e ai i ka ai. A i kona manawa i hele ae ai ma ia wahi, kipa ae la ia malaila e ai i ka ai.

Now there came a day when Elisha went to Shunem, and there was a woman of high position living there, who made him come in and have a meal with her. And after that, every time he went by, he went into her house for a meal.

9 I aku la ia i kana kane, Aia hoi ke ike nei au, o ka mea i maalo pinepine ae ma o kaua nei, he kanaka hemolele ia o ke Akua.

And she said to her husband, Now I see that this is a holy man of God, who comes by day after day.

10 Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hana kaua i wahi keena uuku maluna o ka papohaku, a e waiho malaila i wahi moe, a i wahi papaaina a i wahi noho, a i wahi ipukukui; a i ka manawa e hele mai ai ia io kaua nei, e kipa ae ia malaila.

So let us make a little room on the wall; and put a bed there for him, and a table and a seat and a light; so that when he comes to us, he will be able to go in there.

11 A i kekahi la, hele aku la ia malaila, a kipa ae la ia ma ke keena maluna, a moe iho la ilaila.

Now one day, when he had gone there, he went into the little room and took his rest there.

12 I aku la oia ia Gehazi i kana kauwa, E kahea aku oe i keia wahine no Sunema nei. A i kona kahea ana ia ia, ku iho la ia imua oua.

And he said to Gehazi, his servant, Send for this Shunammite. So in answer to his voice she came before him.

13 Olelo aku la o Elisai i kana kauwa, Ano e i aku oe i ka wahine, Aia hoi, ua manao mai oe ia maua i keia malama ana a pau, heaha ka mea e. hanaia aku ai nou? e oleloia aku anei i ke alii nou; a i ka luna koa paha? I mai kela, Ke noho nei au iwaena o kuu poe kanaka.

And he said to him, Now say to her, See, you have taken all this trouble for us; what is to be done for you? will you have any request made for you to the king or the captain of the army? But she said, I am living among my people.

14 I aku la ia, Heaha la e hanaia aku ai nona? I mai la o Gehazi, He oiaio, aohe ana keiki, a ua elemakule kana kane.

So he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi made answer, Still there is this, she has no son and her husband is old.

15 I aku la ia, E kahea aku ia ia. Kahea aku kela ia ia, a ku mai la ia ma ka puka.

Then he said, Send for her. And in answer to his voice she took her place at the door.

16 I aku la ia, A hiki i keia wa o kela makahiki, e puliki oe i keikikane. I mai la kela, Aole, e kuu haku, e ke kanaka o ke Akua; mai hoopunipuni oe i kau kauwawahine.

And Elisha said, At this time in the coming year you will have a son in your arms. And she said, No, my lord, O man of God, do not say what is false to your servant.

17 Hapai ae la ka wahine, a hanau mai la i keikikane i kela manawa, o ka puni ana o ka makahiki, e like me ka olelo a Elisai ia ia.

Then the woman became with child and gave birth to a son at the time named, in the year after, as Elisha had said to her.

18 A nui ae la ke keiki; a i kekahi la, hele aku la ia i kona makuakane, i ka poe e oki ai ana.

Now one day, when the child was older, he went out to his father to where the grain was being cut.

19 I mai la kela i kona makuakane, Ea, o kuu poo, o kuu poo. I aku la ia i kahi kanaka ui, E lawe aku oe ia ia nei i kona makuwahine.

And he said to his father, My head, my head! And the father said to a servant, Take him in to his mother.

20 Hapai ae la oia ia ia, a hali aku ia ia i kona makuwahine, a noho iho ia maluna o kona uha a awakea, a make iho la.

And he took him in to his mother, and she took him on her knees and kept him there till the middle of the day, when his life went from him.

21 Pii ae la ia, a waiho ia ia maluna o kahi moe o ke kanaka o ke Akua, a paniia aku la mahope ona, a hele aku la iwaho.

Then she went up and put him on the bed of the man of God, shutting the door on him, and went out.

22 Kahea aku la ia i kana kane, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hoouna ia'u nei i kekahi o na kanaka ui, a me kekahi hoki, i holo aku ai au i ke kanaka o ke Akua, a hoi hou mai au.

And she said to her husband, Send me one of the servants and one of the asses so that I may go quickly to the man of God and come back again.

23 Ninau mai la ia, No ke aha la oe e hele aku ai io na la i keia la? aole he mahina hou, aole hoi he sabati. I aku la kela ia ia, E pono ana mai ia.

And he said, Why are you going to him today? it is not a new moon or a Sabbath. But she said, It is well.

24 Kau aku la ia i ka noho maluna o ka hoki, i aku la i kona kanaka ui, E hooikaika a hele aku, mai lohi oe no'u i ka holo ana, ke olelo ole aku au ia oe.

Then she made the ass ready and said to her servant, Keep driving on; do not make a stop without orders from me.

25 A hele aku la ia, a hiki aku i ke kanaka o ke Akua, ma ka mauna o Karemela. A ike mai la ke kanaka o ke Akua ia ia ma o aku, i aku la oia ia Gehazi i kana kauwa, Aia hoi kela wahine no Sunema.

So she went, and came to Mount Carmel, to the man of God. And when the man of God saw her coming in his direction, he said to Gehazi, his servant, See, there is the Shunammite;

26 Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, ano e holo aku oe e halawai me ia, a e ninau aku ia ia, E pomaikai ana oe? e pomaikai ana kau kane? e pomaikai ana kau keiki? I mai la kela, e pomaikai ana.

Go quickly to her, and on meeting her say to her, Are you well? and your husband and the child, are they well? And she said in answer, All is well.

27 A hiki aku la ia i ke kanaka o ke Akua ma ka mauna, hoopaa aku la ia ma kona wawae; a hele kokoke mai o Gehazi e hookuke aku ia ia. I mai la ke kanaka o ke Akua, E waiho malie ia ia nei, no ka mea, ua eha kona naau iloko ona: a ua huna mai o Iehova ia mea ia'u, aole ia i hai mai ia'u.

And when she came to where the man of God was on the hill, she put her hands round his feet; and Gehazi came near with the purpose of pushing her away; but the man of God said, Let her be, for her soul is bitter in her; and the Lord has kept it secret from me, and has not given me word of it.

28 I aku la ka wahine, Ua nonoi aku anei au i keikikane na kuu haku mai? aole anei au i olelo aku, Mai hoopunipuni mai oe ia'u?

Then she said, Did I make a request to my lord for a son? did I not say, Do not give me false words?

29 Olelo aku la oia ia Gehazi, e kaei oe i kou puhaka, a e lawe i ko'u kookoo ma kou lima, a e hele ma kou ala: ina e halawai oe me kekahi kanaka, mai uwe aku oe ia ia; a ina e uwe mai kekahi ia oe, mai olelo aku oe ia ia; a kau aku oe i kuu kookoo maluna o ka maka o ke keiki.

Then he said to Gehazi, Make yourself ready, and take my stick in your hand, and go: if you come across anyone on the way, give him no blessing, and if anyone gives you a blessing, give him no answer. And put my stick on the child's face.

30 Olelo mai la ka makuwahine o ke keiki, Ma ke ola o Ieohova, a ma ke ola o kou uhane, aole au e haalele ia oe. Ku ae la ia a hele aku mamuli ona.

But the mother of the child said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not go back without you. So he got up and went with her.

31 A hele aku la o Gehazi imua o lakou, a kau aku la i ke kookoo maluna o ka maka o ke keiki; aka, aohe leo, aole hoi he lohe: a hoi aku la oia e halawai me ia, a olelo aku la ia ia, i aku la, Aole i ala mai ke keiki.

And Gehazi went on before them and put the stick on the child's face; but there was no voice, and no one gave attention. So he went back, and meeting him gave him the news, saying, The child is not awake.

32 A hiki aku la o Elisai iloko o ka hale, aia hoi, ua make ke keiki, a ua waihoia maluna o kona wahi moe.

And when Elisha came into the house he saw the child dead, stretched on his bed.

33 Komo aku la ia maloko, a pani aku la i ka puka mahope o laua elua, a pule aku la ia Iehova.

So he went in, and shutting the door on the two of them, made prayer to the Lord.

34 Pii ae la ia, a moe iho la maluna o ke keiki, o kona waha maluna o ko ia la waha, a o kona maka maluna o ko ia la maka, a me kona mau lima maluna o ko ia la mau lima, a kulou iho iho la ia maluna ona, a mahana mai la ka io o ke keiki.

Then he got up on the bed, stretching himself out on the child, and put his mouth on the child's mouth, his eyes on his eyes and his hands on his hands; and the child's body became warm.

35 A huli ae la ia, a holoholo iloko o ka hale, i o ia nei; a pii ae la a kulou maluna ona: a kihe iho la ko keiki ehiku kihe ana, a kaakaa mai la na maka o ke keiki.

Then he came back, and after walking once through the house and back, he went up, stretching himself out on the child seven times; and the child's eyes became open.

36 Kahea aku la oia ia Gehazi, i aku la, E hea aku i ka wahine no Sunema. Kahea aku la kela ia ia; a hiki mai la ia io na la, i aku la o Elisai, E kaikai ae oe i kau keiki.

And he gave orders to Gehazi, and said, Send for the Shunammite. And she came in answer to his voice. And he said, Take up your son.

37 A komo mai la ia maloko, a haule ma kona wawae, a kulou iho la ma ka honua, a kaikai ae la i kana keiki, a hele aku la iwaho.

And she came in, and went down on her face to the earth at his feet; then she took her son in her arms and went out.

38 A hoi hou aku la o Elisai i Gilegala; a he wi ma ka aina, a e noho ana na haumana a ka poe kaula imua ona; a i aku la ia i kana kauwa, E kau i ka ipuhao nui, a hoolapalapa i ka ai na na haumana a ka poe kaula.

And Elisha went back to Gilgal, now there was very little food in the land; and the sons of the prophets were seated before him. And he said to his servant, Put the great pot on the fire, and make soup for the sons of the prophets.

39 A hele aku la kekahi ma ke kula, a ohi i ka launahele, a loaa ia ia ke gepena, a hoiliili i na gepena a piha kona kihei; a okioki iho la maloko o ka ipuhao ai: no ka mea, aole lakou i ike i ke ano.

And one went out into the field to get green plants and saw a vine of the field, and pulling off the fruit of it till the fold of his robe was full, he came back and put the fruit, cut up small, into the pot of soup, having no idea what it was.

40 A ninini iho la lakou na na kanaka e ai; a i ka lakou ai ana i ka ai, auwe iho la lakou, i aku la, E ke kanaka o ke Akua, he mea make iloko o ka ipuhao. Aole e hiki ia lakou ke ai.

Then they gave the men soup from the pot. And while they were drinking the soup, they gave a cry, and said, O man of God, there is death in the pot; and they were not able to take any more food.

41 I aku la ia, E lawe mai i palaoa; a hoolei iho la ia mea iloko o ka ipuhao, i aku la, E ninini aku na na kanaka, i ai ai lakou; aole he mea ino iloko o ka ipuhao.

But he said, Get some meal. And he put it into the pot, and said, Now give it to the people so that they may have food. And there was nothing bad in the pot.

42 A hele mai la he kanaka mai Baalasalisa mai, a lawe mai i berena na ko kanaka o ke Akua no ka hunmua, he iwakalua popo bale, a me ka hua bale iloko o ka aa ona; i mai la ia, E haawi aku na na kanaka, i ai ai lakou.

Now a man came from Baal-shalishah with an offering of first-fruits for the man of God, twenty barley cakes and garden fruit in his bag. And he said, Give these to the people for food.

43 I aku la kana mea lawelawe, Ka! e waiho anei au i keia mea imua o ka haneri kanaka? I hou mai la ia, E haawi aku na na kanaka, e ai ai lakou; no ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, E ai lakou, a koe no.

But his servant said, How am I to put this before a hundred men? But he said, Give it to the people for food; for the Lord says, There will be food for them and some over.

44 A waiho iho la ia mea imua o lakou, a ai iho la lakou, a koe no, e like me ka olelo a Iehova.

So he put it before them, and they had a meal and there was more than enough, as the Lord had said.
