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.
The wife of one of the sons of the prophets appealed to Elisha, “My husband, your servant, is dead, and you know that he honored the Lord. But now to pay his debts his creditor is coming to take my two sons as his slaves!”
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.
“What can I do to help you?” asked Elisha. “Tell me, what do you have in your house?” “I, your servant, don't have anything in my house except a jar of olive oil,” she replied.
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.
“Go and borrow empty jars from your neighbors—as many as possible, not just a few,” Elisha told her.
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 inside, shut the door behind you and your sons, and start pouring olive oil into all these jars, placing the full jars to one side.”
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.
She left Elisha, went home, and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept on pouring.
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.
When all the jars were full, she told her son, “Bring me another one.” But he replied, “There aren't any jars left.” Then the olive oil stopped flowing.
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.
She went and told the man of God what had happened, and he said, “Go and sell the olive oil and pay your debts, and you and your sons can live on what's left.”
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.
One day as Elisha was passing through Shunem, a wealthy woman who lived there convinced him to have a meal. After that, whenever he was passing by he would stop there to eat.
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.
She told her husband, “I'm sure that this man who regularly visits us is a holy man of God.
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.
Please let's make a small room on the roof, We can put a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp in it for him. Then he can stay there whenever he visits us.”
11 A i kekahi la, hele aku la ia malaila, a kipa ae la ia ma ke keena maluna, a moe iho la ilaila.
One day Elisha arrived and went up to his room and lay down.
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.
He said to his servant Gehazi, “Ask the Shunammite woman to come here.” Gehazi called her and she came to see Elisha.
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.
Elisha said to Gehazi, “Please tell her, ‘You have gone to a lot of trouble on our behalf. Now what can we do for you? Do you want us to speak for you to the king or the army commander?’” “I live with my own people,” she replied.
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.
After she had left, Elisha asked, “What can we do for her?” “She doesn't have a son, and her husband is old,” Gehazi replied.
15 I aku la ia, E kahea aku ia ia. Kahea aku kela ia ia, a ku mai la ia ma ka puka.
Elisha said, “Ask her to come back.” So Gehazi called her, and she came stood by 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.
Elisha told her, “Around this time next year, you will be holding a son in your arms.” “No, my lord!” she responded. “Man of God, don't tell your servant lies!”
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.
But the woman did indeed become pregnant, and the next year around that same time she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had promised 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.
The child grew up, but one day he when went out to see his father who was with the reapers,
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.
he complained to his father, “My head hurts! My head hurts!” His father told one of his servants, “Carry him back 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.
The servant picked him up and took him back to his mother. The boy sat on her lap until noon, and then he died.
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.
She went upstairs and laid him on the bed of the man of God. Then she shut the door behind her and left.
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.
She called her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and a donkey so I can run to the man of God and come back.”
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.
“Why do you need to go and see him today?” he asked. “It's not the New Moon or the Sabbath.” “Don't worry about it,” she replied.
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.
She put the saddle on the donkey and told her servant, “Let's go quickly! Don't slow down for me unless I tell you to!”
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 set off, and went to the man of God who was at Mount Carmel. When he saw her way in the distance, the man of God told his servant Gehazi, “Look! There's the Shunammite woman!
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.
Please run to meet her and ask her, ‘Is everything fine with you, your husband, and your boy?’” “Everything's fine,” she replied.
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.
But when she got to the man of God at the mountain, she grabbed hold of his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for she's in terrible misery, but the Lord has hidden it from me and has not explained it to me.”
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?
“Did I ask you for a son, my lord?” she asked. “Didn't I tell you, ‘Don't tell me lies’?”
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.
Elisha said to Gehazi, “Put your cloak in your belt, pick up my staff, and go! Don't even say hello to anyone you meet, and if anyone says hello you, don't reply. Place my staff on the boy'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 boy's mother said, “As the Lord lives and as you live, I'm not leaving 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.
Gehazi ran on ahead and placed the staff on the boy's face, but there was no sound or sign of life. So Gehazi went back to meet Elisha and told him, “The boy hasn't woken up.”
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.
When Elisha got to the house, there was the boy, lying dead 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.
He went in, shut the door behind them both, and prayed 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 on the bed and lay on top of the boy, and put his mouth on the boy's mouth, his eyes on the boy's eyes, his hands on the boy's hands. As he stretched out on him, the boy's body warmed up.
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.
Elisha got up, walked back and forth once in the room, and then got back on the bed and stretched out on him again. The boy sneezed seven times and then opened his eyes.
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.
Elisha called Gehazi and said, “Ask the Shunammite woman to come.” So he did. When she arrived, Elisha said to her, “Here's your son. You can pick him up.”
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.
She came in, fell at his feet, and bowed to the ground. Then she picked up her son and left.
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.
When Elisha went back to Gilgal, there was a famine in that area. The sons of the prophets were sitting at his feet, and he said to his servant, “Use the large pot and boil some stew 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.
One of them went out into the countryside to pick herbs. He found a wild vine and picked as many wild gourds as his cloak could hold. Then he came back and chopped them up into the pot of stew. But nobody knew they were dangerous to eat.
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.
They served it to the men to eat, but when they tasted the stew they shouted, “There's death in the pot, man of God!” They couldn't eat it.
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.
Elisha said, “Get some flour.” He threw it into the pot, and said, “Serve it to the people to eat.” There was nothing bad to eat 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.
A man from Baal-shalishah came to the man of God with a sack of firstfruits—the first grain of the year, along with twenty loaves of barley bread. “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha.
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.
“How can I serve just twenty loaves to a hundred men?” his servant asked. “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha, “for this is what the Lord says: ‘They will eat and there will still be some left 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 served the bread to them. They ate, and had some left over, just as the Lord had said.
