< 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 the word of Jehovah. Thus saith Jehovah: To-morrow about this time shall the measure of fine flour be at a shekel, and two measures of barley at 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.
And the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God and said, Behold, if Jehovah should make windows in the heavens, would this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
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?
And there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate, and they said one to another, Why do we abide 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, Let us enter into the city, the famine is in the city, and we shall die there; and if we abide here, we shall die. And now come, let us fall away to the camp of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they put us to death, 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 dusk to go to the camp of the Syrians; and they came to the extremity of the camp of the Syrians; and 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, a noise of a great host; and they said one to another, Behold, 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.
And they rose up and fled in the dusk, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, 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 those lepers came to the extremity of the camp; and they went into one tent, and ate and drank, and carried thence silver and gold, and garments, and went and hid it; and they came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence, 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.
And they said one to another, We are not doing right; this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, the iniquity will find us out; and now 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.
And they came and called to the porters of the city, and told them saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and behold, there was no one there, no sound of man, but the horses tied, and the asses 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 the porters cried [it] and told [it] to the king's house 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 rose up in the night and said to his servants, Let me tell you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry, and they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch 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 some one take, I pray thee, 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 even as all the multitude of the Israelites that have perished), 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.
And they took two chariots with their 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 behold, all the way was full of garments and materials, 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; and the measure of fine flour was at a shekel, and two measures of barley at 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 had 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, according to what the man of God had said, — what he had said 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 shall be at a shekel, and the measure of fine flour at a shekel, to-morrow 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 the captain answered the man of God and said, Behold, if Jehovah should make windows in the heavens, would such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
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.
And so it happened to him; and the people trampled upon him in the gate, and he died.
