< 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.
And the sons of the prophets said to Eliseus: Behold the place where we dwell with thee is too strait 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 take out of the wood every man a piece of timber, that we may build us there a place to dwell in. 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: But come thou also with thy servants. He answered: I will come.
4 A hele pu aku la ia me lakou. A hiki lakou ma Ioredane, a kua laau lakou.
So he went with them. And when they were come to the Jordan they cut 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.
And it happened, as one was felling some timber, that the head of the axe fell into the water: and he cried out, and said: Alas, alas, alas, my lord, for this same 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.
And the man of God said: Where did it fall? and he shewed him the place. Then he cut off a piece of wood, and cast it in thither: and the iron swam.
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 up. And he put out 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.
And the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying: In such and such a place let us lay ambushes.
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 the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying: Beware that thou pass not to such a 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 the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God had told him, and prevented him, and looked well to himself there not once nor 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 troubled for this thing. And calling together his servants, he said: Why do you not tell me who it is that betrays 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: No one, my lord O king: but Eliseus the prophet, that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel all the words, that thou speakest in thy privy chamber.
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: that I may send, and take him. And they told 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 thither horses and chariots, and the strength of an army: and they came by night, and beset 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?
And the servant of the man of God rising early, went out, and saw an army round about the city, and horses and chariots: and he told 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 answered: Fear not: 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 Eliseus prayed, and said: Lord, open his eyes, 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 round about Eliseus.
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.
And the enemies came down to him, but Eliseus prayed to the Lord, saying: Strike, I beseech thee, this people with blindness. And the Lord struck them with blindness, according to the word of Eliseus.
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.
And Eliseus said to them: This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will shew you the man whom you seek. So 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 were come into Samaria, Eliseus said: Lord, open the eyes of these men, 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 said to Eliseus, when he saw them: My father, shall I kill 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: Thou shalt not kill them: for thou didst not take them with thy sword, or thy bow, that thou mayst kill them: but set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.
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 provision of meats was set before them, and they ate and drank, and he let them go, and they went away to their master, and the robbers of Syria came no more 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.
And it came to pass after these things, that Benadad king of Syria gathered together all his army, and went up, and besieged 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 there was a great famine in Samaria: and so long did the siege continue, till the head of an ass was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cabe of pigeon’s dung, for five pieces of silver.
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 O 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 doth not save thee, how can I save thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress? And the king said to her: What aileth thee? And she answered:
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 thy son, 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.
So we boiled my son, and ate him. And I said to her on the next day: Give thy son that we may eat him. And she hath hid 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 heard this, he rent his garments, and passed by upon the wall. And all the people saw the haircloth which he wore within next to 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 so and so to me, and may he add more, if the head of Eliseus the son of Saphat shall stand 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?
But Eliseus sat in his house, and the ancients sat with him. So he sent a man before: and before that messenger came, he said to the ancients: Do you know that this son of a murderer hath sent to cut off my head? Look then, when the messenger shall come, shut the door, and suffer him not to come in: for behold the sound of his master’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 yet speaking to them, the messenger appeared who was coming to him. And he said: Behold, so great an evil is from the Lord: what shall I look for more from the Lord?
