II Na Lii 6
1 OLELO aku la na haumana a ka poe kaula ia Elisai, Aia hoi, ano o kahi a kakou e noho pu nei me oe, ua pilikia ia kakou.
Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha: “Behold, the place in which we live before you is too narrow for us.
2 Ke noi aku nei, e ae mai oe, e hele makou i Ioredane, a e lawe kela kanaka keia kanaka, mailaila mai, i kahi laau, a e hana kakou malaila i wahi no kakou e noho ai. I mai la kela, E hele oukou.
Let us go as far as the Jordan, and let us each take from the forest a piece of timber, so that we may build for ourselves a place to live there.” And he said, “Go.”
3 A i aku la kekahi, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai oe i ka hele pu me makou. I mai la ia, E hele no wau.
And one of them said, “Then you, too, should go with your servants.” And he answered, “I will go.”
4 A hele pu aku la ia me lakou. A hiki lakou ma Ioredane, a kua laau lakou.
And he went with them. And when they had arrived at the Jordan, they were cutting down wood.
5 A i ke kua laau ana a kekahi, poholo aku la ke koi iloko o ka wai: auwe iho la ia, i aku la, Auwe, e ka haku! no ka mea, no hai ia mea.
Then it happened that, while someone was cutting timber, the iron of the ax fell into the water. And he cried out and said: “Alas, alas, alas, my lord! For this thing was borrowed.”
6 Ninau aku la ke kanaka o ke Akua, Mahea i poholo ai? Hoike mai la ia i kahi. A oki iho la ia i kahi laau, a hoolei iho la malaila, a laua mai ke koi.
Then the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” And he indicated to him the place. Then he cut off a piece of wood, and he threw it in. And the iron floated up.
7 I aku la ia ia, E lawe mai ia nou. Kikoo aku la kona lima, a lawe mai ia mea.
And he said, “Take it.” And he extended his hand, and took it.
8 A kaua mai ke alii o Suria i ka Iseraela, a olelo pu ia me kana poe kauwa, i aku la, Ma kela wahi ka'u e hoomoana'i.
Now the king of Syria was fighting against Israel, and he took counsel with his servants, saying, “In this and that place, let us set up an ambush.”
9 A hoouna aku la ke kanaka o ke Akua i ke alii o ka Iseraela, i aku la, E malama oe, mai hele oe ma kela wahi; no ka mea, ua iho mai ko Suria malaila.
And so the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying: “Take care not to pass by that place. For the Syrians are there in ambush.”
10 Hoouna aku la ke alii o ka Iseraela i kela wahi a ke kanaka o ke Akua i hai mai ai ia ia, a i hoakaka mai ai ia ia, a malama kela ia ia iho malaila, aole i kekahi manawa, aole hoi i elua wale no.
And so the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God had told him, and he prevented it. And he preserved himself, concerning that place, not merely once or twice.
11 A pihoihoi ka naau o ke alii o Suria uo keia mea; a kahea aku la ia i kana poe kauwa, i aku la ia lakou, Aole anei oukou e hai mai ia'u, owai ka mea o kakou i launa pu me ke alii o ka Iseraela?
And the heart of the king of Syria was disturbed over this matter. And calling together his servants, he said, “Why have you not revealed to me the one who is betraying me to the king of Israel?”
12 I mai la kekahi o na kauwa, Aole, e kuu haku e ke alii; aka, o Elisai ke kaula iloko o ka Iseraela, ka mea nana e hai aku i ke alii o ka Iseraela i na mea au i olelo ai maloko o kou keena moe.
And one of his servants said: “By no means, my lord the king! Rather it is the prophet Elisha, who is in Israel, who is revealing to the king of Israel every word whatsoever that you will speak in your conclave.”
13 I aku la ia, E hele oukou a ike i kona wahi, i hoouna aku ai au e kii ia ia. A haiia mai ia ia, Aia no ia ma Dotana.
And he said to them, “Go, and see where he is, so that I may send and capture him.” And they reported to him, saying, “Behold, he is in Dothan.”
14 Hoouna aku la ia malaila i na lio, a me na halekaa, a me ka poe koa, he nui: a hele aku lakou i ka po, a hoopuni ae la i ke kulanakauhale.
Therefore, he sent horses, and chariots, and experienced soldiers to that place. And when they had arrived in the night, they encircled the city.
15 A i ke ala ana o ke kauwa a ke kanaka o ke Akua i kakahiaka nui, a hele iwaho, aia hoi, ua puni ke kulanakauhale i ka poe kaua, i na lio, a me na halekaa: i aku la kana kauwa ia ia, Auwe, e kuu haku! pehea la e hanaia'i?
Now the servant of the man of God, arising at first light, went out and saw the army all around the city, with horses and chariots. And he reported it to him, saying: “Alas, alas, alas, my lord! What shall we do?”
16 I mai la ia, Mai makau oe; no ka mea, ua oi aku ka poe me kakou, mamua o ka poe me lakou.
But he responded: “Do not be afraid. For there are more with us than with them.”
17 A pule aku la o Elisai, i aku la, E Iehova, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e wehe ae oe i kona maka, i ike ia. A wehe ae la o Iehova i na maka o ke kanaka opiopio, a ike aku la ia, aia hoi, na paapu ka mauna i na lio, a me na halekaa ahi, a puni o Elisai.
And when Elisha had prayed, he said, “O Lord, open the eyes of this one, so that he may see.” And the Lord opened the eyes of the servant, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire, all around Elisha.
18 A iho mai lakou io na la, pule aku la o Elisai ia Iehova, i aku la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hahau mai oe i keia poe kanaka i ka makapo. A hahau mai la ia ia lakou i ka makapo, e like me ka olelo a Elisai.
Then truly, the enemies descended to him. But Elisha prayed to the Lord, saying: “Strike, I beg you, this people with blindness.” And the Lord struck them, so that they would not see, in accord with the word of Elisha.
19 I aku la o Elisai ia lakou, Aole keia ke ala, aole hoi keia ke kulanakauhale; e hahai oukou ia'u, a e alakai aku au ia oukou i ke kanaka a oukou e imi nei; aka, alakai no ia ia lakou i Samaria.
Then Elisha said to them: “This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will reveal to you the man whom you are seeking.” Then he led them into Samaria.
20 A hiki lakou i Samaria, i aku la o Elisai, E Iehova, e hookaakaa ae oe i ko lakou nei maka, i ike ai lakou. A hookaakaa ae la o Iehova i ko lakou maka, a ike lakou, aia hoi lakou iwaena konu o Samaria.
And when they had entered into Samaria, Elisha said, “O Lord, open the eyes of these ones, so that they may see.” And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw themselves to be in the midst of Samaria.
21 I mai la ke alii o ka Iseraela ia Elisai, i kona ike ana ia lakou, E kuu makua, e pepehi anei au? e pepehi anei au ia lakou?
And the king of Israel, when he had seen them, said to Elisha, “My father, should I not strike them?”
22 I aku la ia, Mai pepehi oe: e pono anei e pepehi i na mea au i lawe pio ai mo kau pahikaua a me kou kakaka? E kau i ka ai, a me ka wai imua o lakou, i ai ai lakou, a i inu hoi, a hoi aku i ko lakou haku.
And he said: “You should not strike them. For you did not capture them with your sword or bow, so that you might strike them. Instead, set bread and water before them, so that they may eat and drink, and then go to their lord.”
23 A hoomakaukau iho la ia i ahaaina nui na lakou, a pau ka lakou ai ana, a me ka inu ana, hookuu aku la ia ia lakou, a hele aku la lakou i ko lakou haku. Aole i hele hou mai ka poe hao wale o Suria i ka aina o ka Iseraela.
And a great preparation of foods was placed before them. And they ate and drank. And he dismissed them. And they went away to their lord. And the robbers of Syria no longer came into the land of Israel.
24 A mahope iho hoakoakoa ae la o Benehadada, ke alii o Suria, i kona poe kaua a pau, a pii mai la e hoopilikia i Samaria.
Now it happened that, after these things, Benhadad, the king of Syria, gathered together his entire army, and he ascended and was besieging Samaria.
25 A ua wi nui iloko o Samaria: aia hoi hoopilikia lakou ia, a kuaiia ke poo o ka hoki i kanawalu sekela kala, a hookahi hapaha o ke kaba lepo manu nunu i na sekela kala elima.
And a great famine occurred in Samaria. And it was blockaded for a long time, until the head of a donkey was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and one fourth part of a pint of pigeons’ dung sold for five silver coins.
26 A i ka hele ana ae o ke alii o ka Iseraela maluna o ka papohaku, kahea mai la kekahi wahine ia ia, i mai la, E kokua mai, e kuu haku, e ke alii.
And as the king of Israel was passing by the wall, a certain woman cried out to him, saying, “Save me, my lord the king!”
27 I aku la ia, a i ole o Iehova e kokua mai ia oe, ma ka mea hea anei e kokua aku ai au ia oe? ma kahi e hehi ai i ka palaoa anei, a ma kahi e kaomi ai i ka waina anei?
And he said: “If the Lord does not save you, how am I able to save you? From the grain floor, or from the wine press?” And the king said to her, “What is the matter with you?” And she responded:
28 Ninau aku ke alii ia ia, Heaha kau? I mai la kela, Ua i mai keia wahine ia'u, E haawi mai i kau keiki, i ai iho ai kaua i keia la, a e ai iho kaua i ka'u keiki i ka la apopo.
“This woman said to me: ‘Give your son, so that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’
29 Hoolapalapa iho la maua i ka'u keiki, a ua ai iho, a i aku la au ia ia i kekahi la, e haawi mai oe i kau keiki; a ua huna ia i kana keiki.
Therefore, we cooked my son, and we ate him. And I said to her on the next day, ‘Give your son, so that we may eat him.’ But she concealed her son.”
30 A lohe ae la ke alii i ka olelo a ka wahine, haehae iho la ia i kona aahu; a hele ae la ia maluna o ka papohaku, a nana mai la na kanaka, aia hoi, he kapa inoino maluna o kona kino maloko.
When the king had heard this, he tore his garments, and he passed along the wall. And all the people saw the haircloth that he had worn underneath, beside his flesh.
31 I aku la ia, E hana mai ke Akua ia'u pela, a e oi aku hoi, ke waihoia ko poo o Elisai, ke keiki a Sapata, maluna ona i keia la.
And the king said, “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things, if the head of Elisha, the son of Shaphat, will remain on him this day!”
32 A e noho ana o Elisai iloko o kona hale, a e noho pu ana me ia na lunakahiko; a hoouna aku ke alii i ke kanaka mai kona alo aku: aka, mamua o ka hiki ana'ku o ke elele io na la, i mai la ia i na lunakahiko, E nana oukou ua hoouna mai nei keia keiki a ka mea pepehi kanaka e lawe i kuu poo: e nana, i ka manawa e hele mai ai ke elele, e pani aku i ka puka, a e hoopaa aku oukou ia ia ma ka puka: aole anei e kani ana na wawae o kona haku mahope ona?
Now Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. And so he sent a man ahead. And before that messenger arrived, he said to the elders: “Do you not know that this son of a murderer is sending someone to cut off my head? Therefore, watch, and when the messenger arrives, close the door. And you shall not permit him to enter. For behold, the sound of his lord’s feet is behind him.”
33 A i kana kamailio ana me lakou, aia hoi, hiki mai ke elele io na la, i mai la, Aia hoi, no Iehova mai keia ino; no ke aha la au e kali hou aku ai ia Iehova?
While he was still speaking to them, the messenger appeared who was sent to him. And he said: “Behold, such a great evil is from the Lord! What more should I expect from the Lord?”
