< II Na Lii 7 >

1 I MAI la o Elisai, E hoolohe oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, Ma keia manawa i ka la apopo, e lilo kekahi bakeke palaoa no ka sekela hookahi, a elua bakeke bale no ka sekela hookahi ma ka ipuka o Samaria.
And Elisha said, Hear ye the word of Jehovah. Thus says Jehovah, Tomorrow about this time a measure of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
2 Alaila kekahi luna kiai no ke alii ka mea ana i hilinai ai ma kona lima, olelo mai la ia i ke kanaka o ke Akua, i mai la, Aia hoi, ina e hana mai o Iehova i na puka ma ka Iani, e hiki mai anei keia mea? I aku la ia, E ike auanei kou mau maka, aka, aole oe e ai ia mea.
Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if Jehovah should make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shall see it with thine eyes, but shall not eat of it.
3 A eha kanaka lepera ma ke komo ana o ka ipuka; a i ae la lakou i kekahi i kekahi, No ke aha la kakou e noho maanei, a make kakou?
Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate, and they said one to another, Why do we sit here until we die?
4 A i olelo kakou, e komo iloko o ke kulanakauhale, aia hoi, maloko o ke kulanakauhale ka wi, a e make auanei kakou malaila: a i noho kakou maanei, e make kakou. Ano hoi, ea, e haule kakou i ka poe kaua o ko Suria, ina e hoola lakou ia kakou, ua ola; aka, ina e pepehi mai lakou ia kakou, ua make no hoi.
If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. And if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall to the army of the Syrians. If they save us alive, we shall live, and if they kill us, we shall but die.
5 Ku ae la lakou i ka wanaao e hele aku i kahi hoomoana o ko Suria: a hiki lakou ma ka palena o kahi hoomoana o ko Suria, aia hoi, aohe kanaka malaila.
And they rose up in the twilight, to go to the camp of the Syrians. And when they came to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, there was no man there.
6 No ka mea, ua haawi mai o Iehova i ka poe kaua o ko Suria i ka lohe i ka halulu o na halekaa, a me ka halulu o na lio, ka halulu o ke kaua nui; i ae la lakou i kekahi i kekahi, Aia hoi, ua hoolimalima ke alii o ka Iseraela i na'lii o ka Heta e ku e mai ia kakou, a me na'lii o Aigupita e hele mai maluna o kakou.
For the Lord had made the army of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great army. And they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.
7 No ia mea, ku ae la lakou, a holo i ka wanaao, a haalele aku la lakou i ko lakou mau halelewa, a me ko lakou lio, a me na hoki o lakou, a i kahi hoomoana pela, a holo aku la lakou, i ola.
Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their donkeys, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
8 A hiki aku la na lepero ma ka palena o kahi hoomoana, komo aku la lakou iloko o kekahi halelewa, a ai iho la lakou, a inu hoi, a lawe aku lakou i ke kala a me ke gula, a me na aahu mai laila aku, hele aku, a huna; a hoi mai a komo aku iloko o kekahi halelewa e ae, a lawe aku no hoi mai laila aku, a hele aku, a huna.
And when these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drank, and carried from there silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it. And they came back, and entered into another tent, and carried from there also, and went and hid it.
9 I ae la lakou i kekahi i kekahi. Aole pono ka kakou hana ana; o keia la, he la pomaikai, a ke noho malie nei kakou; a i noho a hiki i ka malamalama o ke ao, e loaa uanei ia kakou ka hewa: ano hoi e hele aku kakou, a o hai aku i ko ka hale o ke alii.
Then they said one to another, We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we keep silent. If we delay till the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let us go and tell the king's household.
10 A hele lakou, a kahea aku i ke kiai-puka o ke kulanakauhale; a hai aku ia lakou, i aku la, Hele aku makou i kahi hoomoana o ko Suria, aia hoi, aohe kanaka malaila, aohe leo o ke kanaka, o na lio wale no i nakiiia, a me na hoki i nakiiia, a me na halelewa e waiho ana pela.
So they came and called to the porter of the city. And they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were.
11 Kahea aku la ia i na kiai-puka, a hai aku la lakou i ko ka hale o ke alii maloko.
And he called the porters, and they told it to the king's household within.
12 Ala mai ke alii i ka po, i aku la i kana poe kauwa, Ano e hoike aku au ia oukou i ka mea a ko Suria i hana mai ai ia kakou. Ua ike lakou i ko kakou pololi ana; nolaila, ua hele aku lakou mai ko lakou wahi hoomoana aku e pee ma ke kula, i ka i ana'e, Aia puka lakou mailoko mai o ke kulanakauhale, alaila lawe pio kakou ia lakou e ola ana, a komo iloko o ke kulanakauhale.
And the king arose in the night, and said to his servants, I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry. Therefore they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city we shall take them alive, and get into the city.
13 Olelo mai kekahi o na kauwa ana, i mai la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e lawe lakou i elima o na lio e koe ana, na mea i koe iloko olaila, (aia, ua like lakou me ka Iseraela a pau e koe ana; aia hoi, ua like lakou mo ka poe nui o ka Iseraela i make, ) a hoouna aku kakou, a ike.
And one of his servants answered and said, Let, I pray thee, some men take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it; behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are consumed), and let us send and see.
14 A lawe lakou i elua kaulualio, a hoouna aku la ke alii mahope o ka poe kaua o ko Suria, i aku la, E hele aku a ike.
Therefore they took two chariots with horses. And the king sent after the army of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.
15 A hele aku lakou mahope o lakou la, a Ioredane; aia hoi, ua paapu ke alanui a pau i na aahu, a me na mea kaua a ko Suria i hoolei ai i ko lakou holo kiki ana. A hoi mai na elele, a hai mai i ke alii.
And they went after them to the Jordan. And, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.
16 A hele aku na kanaka, a hao lakou i ko kahi hoomoana o ko Suria. No ia mea, ua lilo ka bakeke palaoa no ka sekela hookahi, a elua bakeke bale no ka sekela hookahi, e like me ka olelo a Iehova.
And the people went out, and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of Jehovah.
17 A hoonoho aku la ke alii i ka lunakiai, i ka mea ana i hilinai ai ma kona lima, e malama i ka ipuka; a hehi iho la na kanaka maluna ona, a make iho la ia, e like me ka olelo a ke kanaka o ke Akua, ana i olelo ai i ka hele ana o ke alii io na la.
And the king appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate. And the people trampled upon him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.
18 E like no me ka olelo a ke kanaka o ke Akua i ke alii, i ka i ana'e, Elua bakeke bale no ka sekela hookahi, a hookahi bakeke palaoa no ka sekela hookahi, i keia manawa i ka la apopo ma ka ipuka o Samaria.
And it came to pass, as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria.
19 A olelo mai ua lunakiai la i ke kanaka o ke Akua, i mai la, Aia hoi, ina e hana mai o Iehova i na puka ma ka lani, e hiki mai anei keia mea? I aku la ia, Aia hoi, e ike auanei kou mau maka, aka, aole oe e ai ia mea.
And that captain answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if Jehovah should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shall see it with thine eyes, but shall not eat of it.
20 A pela i hanaia mai ai ia ia: no ka mea, hehi iho la na kanaka maluna ona ma ka ipuka, a make iho la ia.
It came to pass even so to him, for the people trampled upon him in the gate, and he died.
