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.

Elisha replied, “Listen to the message from the Lord. This is what the Lord says: Around this time tomorrow a seah of the best flour will sell for a shekel, and two seahs of barley will sell for a shekel at 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.

The officer who was the king's assistant said to the man of God, “Look, even if the Lord opened windows in heaven what you say couldn't happen!” Elisha replied, “You'll see it with your own eyes, but you won't get to eat any 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?

There happened to be four men with leprosy at the entrance of the city gate. They said to each other, “Why are we sitting around 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's go into the city,’ we'll die because of the famine there; but if we go on sitting here, we'll die too. So come on, let's go to the camp of the Arameans and surrender to them. If they let us live, we'll live; if they kill us, we'll 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.

So they set off when it was getting dark and went to the camp of the Arameans. But when they arrived at the edge of the camp, nobody was 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 Arameans hear the sound of chariots, horses, and a large army approaching, so they said to each other, “The king of Israel has hired the kings of the Hittites and Egyptians to come and attack 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.

So they jumped up and ran away into the night, leaving behind their tents, their horses, and their donkeys. In fact the camp was left just as it was when they ran for their lives.

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.

When the lepers got to the edge of the camp, they went into a tent and ate and drank. Then they took the silver, gold, and clothes, and hid them. After that they went back to another tent, took some things from there, and hid them.

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 to each other, “It's not right what we're doing. This is a day of good news, and if we keep quiet about it and wait until it gets light, we're sure to be punished. So let's go right away and let them know at the king's palace.”

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.

They went and called to the gatekeepers of the city, “We went over to the Aramean camp and no one was there, not a sound of anybody! There were just horses and donkeys tied up, and the tents just 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.

The gatekeepers shouted out the news, and reports reached the royal palace.

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.

The king got up in the night and said to his officers, “Let me tell you the trick the Arameans are trying to play on us. They know we're starving, so they have left the camp and hidden in the field, thinking, ‘When they leave the city, we'll take them alive and be able to enter 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.

One of his officers suggested, “Have some men take five of the remaining horses in the city. What happens to them will be the same as that of all the Israelites left here, All the Israelites here are doomed. Let's send them to find out what's going on.”

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.

So they got two chariots ready with their horses, and the king sent them out to the Aramean camp, telling them “Go and take a look.”

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.

They went after them as far as the Jordan, and the whole way was full of clothing and equipment the Arameans had thrown aside as they ran away. The messengers returned and reported to 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.

Then the people went out and looted the camp of the Arameans. So a seah of the best flour sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley sold for a shekel, just as the Lord had predicted.

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.

The king had put the officer who was his assistant in charge of the gate. In their rush the people trampled him in the gateway and he died, just as the man of God had said when the king visited 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.

What the man of God had told the king also came true when he said, “Around this time tomorrow a seah of the best flour will sell for a shekel, and two seahs of barley will sell for a shekel at 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.

Also the officer who was the king's assistant had said to the man of God, “Look, even if the Lord opened windows in heaven what you say couldn't happen!” Elisha had replied, “You'll see it with your own eyes, but you won't get to eat any 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.

This is what happened to him. The people trampled him in the gateway and he died.
