< 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 unto Elisha, Behold now, 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, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.
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 said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy 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.
So he went with them. And when they came to 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.
But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it 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 fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.
7 I aku la ia ia, E lawe mai ia nou. Kikoo aku la kona lima, a lawe mai ia mea.
Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. 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.
Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
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 unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.
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 told him and warned him of, and saved 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?
Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for 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, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
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, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was 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 sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
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 when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how 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.
And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be 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 Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about 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.
And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the Lord, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to 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.
And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to 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 it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, Lord, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were 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 unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite 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 answered, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? 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 he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands 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 this, that Ben-hadad king of Syria gathered all his host, 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, behold, they besieged it, until an ass’s head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove’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 upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, 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 do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?
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.
And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.
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 did eat him: and I said unto 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.
And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon 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.
Then he said, God do so and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat 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 Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and the king sent a man from before him: but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away mine head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door: is not the sound of his master’s feet 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?
And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of the Lord; what should I wait for the Lord any longer?
