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 to the king, “Listen to what Yahweh says: ‘He says that by this time tomorrow, at the marketplace here in Samaria, you will be able to buy (ten pounds/five kg.) of fine wheat or (20 pounds/ten kg.) of barley for [only] one piece of silver.’”
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 king’s officer said to Elijah, “That cannot happen! Even if Yahweh himself would open the windows of the sky [and send grain down to us], that certainly could not [RHQ] happen!” Elisha replied, “[Because you said that, ] you [SYN] will see it happen, but you will not be able to eat any of the food!”
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?
That day there were four men who had (leprosy/a dreaded skin disease) who were sitting outside the gate of Samaria [city. They said to each other, “(Why should we] wait here until we die?/[It is ridiculous for us to] wait here until we die.) [RHQ]
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 go into the city, we will die there, because there is no food there. If we remain sitting here, we will die here. So let’s go to where the army of Syria has set up their tents. If they kill us, we will die. But if they allow us to remain alive, we will not 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 when it was getting dark, those four men went to the camp where the army of Syria had set up their tents. But when they reached the camp, they saw that there was no one 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.
What had happened was that Yahweh had caused the army of Syria to hear something that sounded like a large army marching with chariots and horses. So they said to each other, “Listen! The king of Israel has hired the kings of Egypt and the Heth people-group [and their armies], and they have come to 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 all ran away that evening and left their tents and their horses and donkeys there, because [they were afraid that] they would be killed [if they stayed there].
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 those four lepers came to the edge of the area where the soldiers of Syria had set up their tents, they went into one tent, [and saw all the things that had been left there]. So they ate and drank what was there, and they took the silver and the gold and clothes. Then they went [outside the tent] and hid those things. Then they entered another tent, and took things from there, and then went outside and hid them, also.
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.
But then they said to each other, “We are not doing what is right. We have good news [to tell others] today. If we do not tell it to anyone now, and if we wait until morning to tell it, we will certainly be punished [by Yahweh]. So let’s go right now to the palace and tell it to the king’s officials!”
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 went to the guards at the city gates and called out to them, “We went to where the army of Syria had set up their tents, but we did not see or hear anyone there. Their horses and donkeys were still tied up, but their tents were all deserted/abandoned!”
11 Kahea aku la ia i na kiai-puka, a hai aku la lakou i ko ka hale o ke alii maloko.
The guards shouted the news, and some people [who heard it] went to the palace and reported it there.
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.
[When] the king [heard it, he] got up out of his bed and said to his officials, “I will tell you what the army of Syria is planning to do. They know that we have no food here, so they have left their tents and are hiding in the fields. They think that we will leave the city [to find some food], and then they will capture us and capture 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.
But one of his officials said, “Many of our Israeli people have already died [from (hunger/not having anything to eat]). If those of us who are still alive all stay here, we also will die anyway. So let’s send some men with five of our horses that are still alive to go and see [what has really happened].”
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 chose some men and told them to go in a chariot and find out what had happened to the army of Syria.
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 as far as the Jordan [River]. All along the road they saw clothes and equipment that the soldiers from Syria had thrown away while they were running away very quickly. So the men returned to the king and reported [what they had seen].
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 many of the people of Samaria also went [out of the city and went] to where the army of Syria had previously set up their tents. They entered all the tents and took everything. [So there was now plenty of everything!] As a result people could buy ten pounds of fine wheat or 20 pounds of barley for only one piece of silver, which was what Yahweh had said would happen!
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 of Israel had appointed the officer who was his assistant to supervise what was happening at the marketplace. But as he was standing near the gate, all the people [who were rushing outside the city] trampled on him, and he died, which was what Elisha had said would happen to him when Elisha previously went to talk to the king.
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.
Elisha had told him that by the next day there would be plenty of food, with the result that anyone could buy ten pounds of fine wheat or 20 pounds of barley for only one piece of silver.
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 officer had answered, “That certainly cannot [RHQ] happen! Even if Yahweh himself would open the sky and send down some grain, that could not happen.” And Elisha had replied, “[Because you said that, ] you [SYN] will see it happen, but you will not be able to eat any of the food!”
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 that is what happened to him. The people [who were rushing out of] the city gate trampled on him, and he died.
