< II Na Lii 1 >

1 A LAILA kipi ae la ka Moaba i ka Iseraela, mahope o ka make ana o Ahaba.
After Ahab died, Moab rebelled against Israel.
2 A haule iho la o Ahazia ilalo i kona papaholo, mailuna mai o ka pahale ma Samaria, a mai iho la: a hoouna aku la ia i na elele, a i aku la ia lakou, E hele oukou e ninau aku ia Baalazebuba, ke akua o Ekerona, i ko'u ola ana i keia mai.
Ahaziah had fallen through the lattice-work of his upper room in Samaria and had hurt himself badly. So he sent out messengers, telling them: “Go and ask Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will get better from this injury.”
3 Olelo mai la ka anela o Iehova ia Elia no Tiseba, E ku, a hele aku e halawai me na elele o ke alii o Samaria, a e i aku ia lakou, No ka nele anei o ka Iseraela i ke Akua, nolaila hele ai oukou e ninau ia Baalazebuba, ke akua o Ekerona?
But the angel of the Lord told Elijah the Tishbite, “Go and meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is it because there's no God in Israel that you're going to ask advice from Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron?’
4 Ano hui, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, Aole oe e iho ilalo, mai kahi moe mai au i pii aku ai; aka, e make io no oe. A hoi aku la o Elia.
So this is the Lord's answer: ‘You will not leave the bed on which you are lying. You're definitely going to die.’” And Elijah left.
5 A i ka hoi ana'ku o na elele, ninau mai la kela ia lakou, No ke aha la oukou i hoi hou mai nei?
The messengers returned to the king, and he asked them, “Why have you come back?”
6 I aku la lakou ia ia, I hele mai kekahi kanaka e halawai me makou, a i mai la ia makou, Ou haele, e hoi hou i ke alii, nana oukou i hoouna mai nei, a e olelo aku ia ia, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, No ka nele anei o ka Iseraela i ke Akua, nolaila anei i hoouna aku ai oe e ninau ia Baalazebuba ke akua o Ekerona? no ia mea, aole oe e iho ilalo mai kahi moe mai au i pii aku ai, aka, e make io no oe.
“A man came and met us,” they replied. “He told us, ‘Go back to the king who sent you, and tell him, This is what the Lord says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending to ask advice from Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? As a result you will not leave the bed on which you are lying. You're definitely going to die.’”
7 Ninau mai la oia ia lakou, Heaha la ke ano o ke kanaka i pii mai ai e halawai me oukou, a i hai mai hoi ia oukou i keia mau olelo?
“What was he like, this man who met you and told you all this?” the king asked.
8 I aku la lakou ia ia, He kanaka huluhulu, a na kaeiia kona puhaka i ke kaei ili. I mai la ia, O Elia no ia no Tiaeba.
“He was a hairy man wearing a leather belt around his waist,” they replied. “It's Elijah the Tishbite,” said the king.
9 Alaila hoouna aku ke alii io na la i lunakanalima me kona poe he kanalima; a pii aku la ia io na la; aia hoi, e noho ana ia maluna pono o kekahi puu; i aku la oia ia ia, E ke kanaka o ke Akua, ua i mai ke alii, E iho oe ilalo.
Then the king sent an army captain with fifty men to Elijah. The captain went up to Elijah, who was sitting on the top of a hill, and told him, “Man of God, the king orders you, ‘Come down!’”
10 Olelo mai la o Elia, i mai la i ka lunakanalima, Ina he kanaka wau no ke Akua, e haule mai ke ahi mai ka lani mai, a e hoopau ia oe, a me kou poe he kanalima. Alaila haule mai ke ahi mai ka lani mai, a hoopau iho la ia ia, a me kona poe he kanalima.
Elijah replied to the captain, “If I am a man of God, then let fire fall from heaven and burn up you and your fifty men.” Fire fell from heaven and burned up the captain and his men.
11 Hoouna hou aku la ia io na la i lunakanalima e ae, me kona poe he kanalima; a olelo aku la ia ia, i aku la, E ke kanaka o ke Akua, ua i mai ke alii peneia, E iho koke oe ilalo.
So the king sent another captain with his fifty men to Elijah. The captain said to Elijah, “Man of God, the king orders you, Come down immediately!”
12 Olelo mai la o Elia, i mai la ia lakou, Ina he kanaka wau no ke Akua, e haule mai ke ahi mai ka lani mai, a e hoopau ia oe, a me kou poe he kanalima. A haule mai ke ahi a ke Akua mai ka lani mai, a hoopau ia ia, a me kona poe he kanalima.
Elijah replied to the captain, “If I am a man of God, then let fire fall from heaven and burn up you and your fifty men.” Fire fell from heaven and burned up the captain and his men.
13 A hoouna hou aku la ia i luna o ke kolu o ke kanalima me kona poe he kanalima; a pii aku la ke kolu o ka lunakanalima, a hele aku a kukuli iho la imua o Elia, a nonoi aku ia ia, i aku la ia ia, E ke kanaka o ke Akua, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e malamaia ko'u oia, a me ke ola o keia kanalima, kau poe kauwa imua o kou maka.
So the king sent a third captain with his fifty men. The third captain went up, kneeled before Elijah, and pleaded with him, “Man of God, please value my life and the lives of these fifty men.
14 Aia hoi, i haule mai ke ahi mai ka lani mai, a hoopau iho la i na lunakanalima elua mamua, a me ko laua mau kanalima: ano hoi, e malamaia ko'u oia imua ou maka.
Yes, fire has fallen from heaven and burned up the first two captains of fifty, along with all their men. But now please value my life!”
15 Olelo mai la ka anela o Iehova ia Elia, E iho oe ilalo me ia; mai makau ia ia. Ku ae la ia, a iho pu iho la me ia i ke alii.
Then the angel of the Lord told Elijah, “Go down with him. You don't have to be afraid of him.” So Elijah got up and went down with him to the king.
16 I aku la oia ia ia, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, No kou hoouna ana'ku i na elele e ninau ia Baalazebuba ke akua o Ekerona, no ka nele anei o ka Iseraela i ke Akua e ninau ai ma kana olelo? no ia mea, aole oe e iho ilalo mai kahi moe au i pii aku ai, aka, e make io no oe.
Elijah told the king, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Is it because there's no God in Israel for you to consult that you have sent messengers to ask advice of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? As a result you will not leave the bed on which you are lying. You're definitely going to die.”
17 A make iho la no ia, e like me ka Iehova olelo a Elia i olelo ai; a noho alii iho la o Iehorama ma kona hakahaka, i ka lua o ka makahiki o Iehorama ke keiki a Iehosapata ke alii o ka Iuda; no ka mea, aohe ana keiki.
Ahaziah died just as the Lord had said through Elijah. Because he had no son, Joram succeeded him as king in the second year of the reign of Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah.
18 A o na mea i koe a Ahazia ana i hana'i, aole anei i kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iseraela?
The rest of what happened in Ahaziah's reign and what he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
