1Now Ben-hadad king of Aram assembled his entire army. Accompanied by thirty-two kings with their horses and chariots, he marched up, besieged Samaria, and waged war against it.
1HOULUULU ae la o Benehadada ke alii o Suria i kona poe kaua a pau: kanakolu kumamalua mau alii me ia, a me na lio a me na kaa: Pii mai la ia a hoopuni ia Samaria, a kaua ae la ia ia.
2Then he sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel,
2Hoouna ae la oia i na elele io Ahaba la ke alii o ka Iseraela, iloko o ke kulanakauhale;
3saying, “This is what Ben-hadad says: ‘Your silver and gold are mine, and your best wives and children are mine!’”
3I ae la, Ke olelo nei o Benehadada, O kau kala, a me kau gula, o ka'u ia, a me kau mau wahine, a me kau mau keiki, o na mea maikai, o ka'u ia.
4And the king of Israel replied, “Just as you say, my lord the king: I am yours, along with all that I have.”
4I aku la o ke alii o ka Iseraela, e like me kau olelo, e ke alii ko'u haku, ia oe no wau a me ka'u mau mea a pau.
5The messengers came back and said, “This is what Ben-hadad says: ‘I have sent to you to demand your silver, your gold, your wives, and your children.
5Hoi hou mai na elele, a i mai la, Penei ka olelo ana a Benehadada, i ka i ana, Ua hoouna aku au iou la, i ka i ana aku, E haawi mai oe i kau kala, a me kau gula, a me kau mau wahine, a me kau mau keiki;
6But about this time tomorrow I will send my servants to search your palace and the houses of your servants. They will seize and carry away all that is precious to you.’”
6Aka, e hoouna hou aku au i ka'u mau kauwa iou la i ka la apopo me neia ka hora, a e huli lakou i kou hale, a me na hale o kau mau kauwa; a eia hoi, o ka mea makemakeia imua o kou mau maka, e lalau ko lakou lima, a e lawe mai.
7Then the king of Israel summoned all the elders of the land and said, “Please take note and see that this man is looking for trouble, for when he demanded my wives, my children, my silver, and my gold, I did not deny him.”
7Alaila hea ae la ke alii o ka Iseraela i na lunakahiko a pau o ka aina, i ae la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oukou, e nana i ko keia kanaka imi ana e kolohe wale mai; no ka mea, ua kii e mai nei oia i ka'u mau wahine, a me ka'u mau keiki, a me ka'u kala, a me ka'u gula, aole hoi au i hoole aku ia ia.
8And the elders and the people all said, “Do not listen to him or consent to his terms.”
8I aku la na lunakahiko a pau a me na kanaka a pau ia ia, Mai hoolohe aku, aole hoi e ae aku.
9So Ahab answered the messengers of Ben-hadad, “Tell my lord the king, ‘All that you demanded of your servant the first time I will do, but this thing I cannot do.’” So the messengers departed and relayed the message to Ben-hadad.
9Nolaila i olelo aku ai oia i na elele o Benehadada, E hai aku i kuu haku ke alii, O ka mea a pau au i kii mai ai i kau kauwa nei, i kinohou, oia ka'u e hana'i: aka, o keia mea, aole e hiki ia'u ke hana. A hoi na elele, a lawe hou ae la i ka olelo ia ia.
10Then Ben-hadad sent another message to Ahab: “May the gods deal with me, and ever so severely, if enough dust remains of Samaria for each of my men to have a handful.”
10Hoouna hou mai la o Benehadada io na la, i mai la, Pela e hana mai ai na akua ia'u, a e hui hou, ke lawa ka lepo o Samaria e piha ai na lima o ka poe kanaka a pau e hahai ana mamuli o'u.
11And the king of Israel replied, “Tell him: ‘The one putting on his armor should not boast like one taking it off.’”
11Olelo aku la ke alii o ka Iseraela, i aku la, E olelo aku, Mai hookiekie ka mea e hookomo ana i ka mea kaua e like me ka mea e kala ana ia.
12Ben-hadad received this message while he and the kings were drinking in their tents, and he said to his servants, “Take your positions.” So they stationed themselves against the city.
12Eia kekahi, i kona lohe ana i keia olelo i kona wa e inu ana oia me na alii iloko o na halelewa, i ae la oia i kana poe kauwa, E hoonohonoho. Hoonohonoho ae la lakou e ku e i ke kulanakauhale.
13Meanwhile a prophet approached Ahab king of Israel and declared, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Do you see this entire great army? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand this very day, and you will know that I am the LORD.’”
13Hiki mai la kekahi kaula ia Ahaba ke alii o ka Iseraela, i ae la oia ia ia, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, Ua ike anei oe i keia lehulehu loa? Eia hoi, e haawi aku no au ia lakou iloko o kou lima; a e ike no oe owau no Iehova.
14“By whom?” Ahab asked. And the prophet replied, “This is what the LORD says: ‘By the young officers of the district governors.’” “Who will start the battle?” asked Ahab. “You will,” answered the prophet.
14Ninau aku la o Ahaba, Ma owai la? Hai mai la oia, Ke i mai nei o Iehova, penei, Ma na kanaka ui o na lii o na panalaau. Alaila ninau hou aku la oia, Owai ka mea e hooinakaukau? Hai mai la oia, O oe.
15So Ahab assembled the young officers of the district governors, and there were 232 men. And after them, he assembled the rest of the Israelite troops, 7,000 in all.
15Helu ae la oia i na kanaka ui o na lii o na panalaau, elua haneri me kanakolu kumamalua; a mahope o lakou, helu ae la oia i na kanaka a pau, i na mamo a pau a Iseraela, ehiku tausani.
16They marched out at noon while Ben-hadad and the 32 kings allied with him were in their tents getting drunk.
16Puka aku la lakou i ke awakea. Aka, e inu ana o Benehadada a ona iloko o na halelewa, oia pu me na lii, he kanakolu kumamalua alii e kokua ana ia ia.
17And the young officers of the district governors marched out first. Now Ben-hadad had sent out scouts, who reported to him, “Men are marching out of Samaria.”
17Puka mua aku la o na kanaka ui o na lii o na panalaau; hoouna ae la o Benehadada, a hoike aku la lakou ia ia, i aku la, Ke puka mai nei na kanaka mai loko mai o Samaria.
18“If they have marched out in peace,” he said, “take them alive. Even if they have marched out for war, take them alive.”
18Olelo mai la oia, Ina i puka mai lakou no ka malu, e hopu ia lakou e ola ana; a ina i puka mai lakou no ke kaua, e hopu ia lakou e ola ana.
19Meanwhile, these young officers of the district governors marched out of the city, with the army behind them,
19Pela i puka ai mai loko ae o ke kulanakauhale ua poe kanaka ui la o na lii o na panalaau, a me ka poe kana i hahai mamuli o lakou.
20and each one struck down his opponent. So the Arameans fled, with the Israelites in pursuit. But Ben-hadad king of Aram escaped on horseback with the cavalry.
20Pepehi ae la lakou pakahi i kona kanaka; a auhee ae la ko Suria, a hahai aku la ka Iseraela ia lakou; pakele aku la o Benehadada, ke alii o Suria maluna o ka lio, a me na hololio.
21Then the king of Israel marched out and attacked the horses and chariots, inflicting a great slaughter on the Arameans.
21Puka aku la ke alii o ka Iseraela, a pepehi ae la i na lio a me na kaa, a laku hoi i ko Suria me ka luku nui loa.
22Afterward, the prophet approached the king of Israel and said, “Go and strengthen your position, and take note what you must do, for in the spring the king of Aram will come up against you.”
22Hele ae la ke kaula i ke alii o ka Iseraela, i ae la ia ia, E hele, e hookupaa ia oe iho, a e noonoo, a e ike i kau mea e hana aku ai; no ka mea, aia puni ka makahiki, e pii ku e hou mai ke alii o Suria ia oe.
23Meanwhile, the servants of the king of Aram said to him, “Their gods are gods of the hills. That is why they prevailed over us. Instead, we should fight them on the plains; surely then we will prevail.
23Olelo aku la na kauwa a ke alii o Suria ia ia, He mau akua o na puu ko lakou mau akua; nolaila i oi ai ko lakou ikaika mamua o ko kakou. E kaua aku kakou ia lakou ma ka papu, a e oi io aku ko kakou ikaika mamua o ko lakou.
24So do this: Dismiss all the kings from their positions and replace them with other officers.
24E hana hoi oe i keia mea, e hookaawale ae i na lii, kela kanaka keia kanaka mai kona wahi ae, a e pani i ko lakou hakahaka me na luna koa.
25And you must raise an army like the one you have lost—horse for horse and chariot for chariot—so we can fight the Israelites on the plain, where we will surely prevail.” And the king approved their plan and acted accordingly.
25A e helu ae i poe kaua nou, e like me kau poe kaua i haule, he lio no ka lio, he kaa no ke kaa; a e kaua aku kakou ia lakou ma ka papu, a e kela io aku ko kakou ikaika mamua o ko lakou. Hoolohe mai la oia i ko lakou leo, a hana iho la pela.
26In the spring, Ben-hadad mobilized the Arameans and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.
26Eia hoi keia, i ka puni ana o ka makahiki, helu aku la o Benehadada i ko Suria, a pii mai la i Apeka e kaua i ka Iseraela.
27The Israelites also mobilized, gathered supplies, and marched out to meet them. The Israelites camped before them like two small flocks of goats, while the Arameans covered the countryside.
27A ua heluia'e la na mamo a Iseraela, e noho makaukau ana no hoi lakou a pau, a hele ku e aku la ia lakou; a hoomoana iho la o na mamo a Iseraela imua o lakou, e like me na ohana liilii elua o na keiki kao; aka, o ko Suria, ua paapu ka aina ia lakou.
28Then the man of God approached the king of Israel and said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Because the Arameans think the LORD is a god of the hills and not of the valleys, I will deliver all this great army into your hand. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
28Hele mai la ke kanaka o ke Akua, a olelo mai la i ke alii o ka Iseraela, i mai la, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, No ka mea, ke olelo nei lakou, He Akua no na puu o Iehova, aole he Akua ia no na awawa, nolaila e haawi aku ai au i keia poe lehulehu nui iloko o kou lima, a e ike oukou owau no Iehova.
29For seven days the armies camped opposite each other, and on the seventh day the battle ensued, and the Israelites struck down the Arameans—a hundred thousand foot soldiers in one day.
29Hoomoana ae la lakou kekahi i mua o kekahi i na la ehiku. Eia hoi i ka hiku o ka la kaua iho la lakou; pepehi iho la na mamo a Iseraela i ko Suria i hookahi haneri tausani kanaka hele wawae, i ka la hookahi.
30The rest of them fled into the city of Aphek, where the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand of the remaining men. Ben-hadad also fled to the city and hid in an inner room.
30A holo aku la ke koena i Apeka iloko o ke kulanakauhale; a malaila i hiolo ai ka pa maluna o na tausani he iwakalua kumamahiku o na kanaka i koe. Holo aku la hoi o Benehadada, a komo iloko o ke kulanakauhale, iloko o ke keena maloko ae.
31Then the servants of Ben-hadad said to him, “Look now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful. Let us go out to the king of Israel with sackcloth around our waists and ropes around our heads. Perhaps he will spare your life.”
31I aku la kana mau kauwa ia ia, Eia hoi, ua lohe kakou he poe alii lokomaikai na lii o ka ohana a Iseraela; nolaila, ea, e hookomo i ke kapa eleele, ma ko makou puhaka, a e kau na kaula ma ko makou mau poo, a e puka aku i ke alii o ka Iseraela; e hoola paha auanei oia ia oe.
32So with sackcloth around their waists and ropes around their heads, they went to the king of Israel and said, “Your servant Ben-hadad says, ‘Please spare my life.’” And the king answered, “Is he still alive? He is my brother.”
32Kau iho la lakou i ke kapa eleele ma ko lakou mau puhaka, a kau i na kaula maluna o ko lakou mau poo, a hele i ke alii o ka Iseraela, i mai la hoi, Ke i mai nei kau kauwa Benehadada, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe e ola au. I aku la oia, E ola ana anei ia? O ko'u hoahanau no ia.
33Now the men were looking for a sign of hope, and they quickly grasped at this word and replied, “Yes, your brother Ben-hadad.” “Go and get him!” said the king. Then Ben-hadad came out, and Ahab had him come up into his chariot.
33Haka pono mai la na kanaka i puka mai paha mai loko ona, a hopu koke ae, a olelo mai la lakou, O kou hoahanau Benehadada. Alaila olelo aku la ia, E kii aku oukou, a lawe mai ia ia. Alaila hele mai la o Benehadada io na la, a hooee ae la oia ia ia iloko o ke kaa.
34Ben-hadad said to him, “I will restore the cities my father took from your father; you may set up your own marketplaces in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria.” “By this treaty I release you,” Ahab replied. So he made a treaty with him and sent him away.
34Olelo ae la o Benehadada ia ia, O na kulanakauhale a ko'u makuakane i kaili ae ai mai kou makuakane ae, oia ka'u e hoihoi aku ai; a e hana oe nou i na alanui ma Damaseko me ko'u makuakane i hana'i ma Samaria. I ae la o Ahaba, Me ia berita e hookuu aku ai au ia oe. Hana iho la oia i berita me ia, a hookuu aku la ia ia.
35Meanwhile, by the word of the LORD, one of the sons of the prophets said to his companion, “Strike me, please!” But the man refused to strike him.
35A o kekahi kanaka no na keiki a na kaula i olelo ae la i kona hoalauna, ma ka olelo a Iehova, Ke noi aku nei au e pepehi mai oe ia'u. Aole hoi i pepehi na kanaka la ia ia.
36Then the prophet said to him, “Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, as soon as you depart from me a lion will kill you.” And when he left, a lion found him and killed him.
36Alaila olelo ae la oia ia ia, No kou hoolohe ole ana i ka leo o Iehova, eia hoi, i kou hele ana mai o'u aku nei, e pepehi koke no ka liona ia oe. A hele ae la ia mai ona aku la, a loaa koke iho la i ka liona, a make ia ia i ka pepehiia.
37Then the prophet found another man and said, “Strike me, please!” So the man struck him and wounded him,
37Alaila loaa ia ia kekahi kanaka, olelo aku la oia ia ia, Ke noi aku nei au e pepehi mai oe ia'u: pepehi aku la hoi oia ia ia, a eba ia ia i ka pepehiia.
38and the prophet went and waited on the road for the king, disguising himself with a bandage over his eyes.
38Hele aku la hoi ke kaula, a kali i ke alii ma ke alanui, a hoonalonalo i kona ano me ka lehu maluna o kona wahi maka.
39As the king passed by, he cried out to the king: “Your servant had marched out into the middle of the battle, when suddenly a man came over with a captive and told me, ‘Guard this man! If he goes missing for any reason, your life will be exchanged for his life, or you will weigh out a talent of silver.’
39A maalo ae la ke alii, kahea aku la oia i ke alii, i aku la hoi, Hele aku la kau kauwa iwaena konu o ke kaua; aia hoi, kapae ae la kekahi kanaka, a lawe mai i kekahi kanaka io'u nei, i mai la, E malama ia ia nei: ina paha i nalo, alaila e lilo kou ola no kona ola, a i ole ia, e uku oe i hookahi talena kala.
40But while your servant was busy here and there, the man disappeared.” And the king of Israel said to him, “So shall your judgment be; you have pronounced it on yourself.”
40A i ko'u lawelawe ana io ia nei, nalo wale ae la ia. Olelo mai la ke alii o ka Iseraela ia ia, Pela ka hooponopono ana nou, nau no ia i hoakaka.
41Then the prophet quickly removed the bandage from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets.
41Lalelale ae la oia e hoohemo ae i ka lehu mai kona wahi maka ae; a ike mai ke alii o ka Iseraela ia ia o kekahi ia o na kaula.
42And the prophet said to the king, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Because you have let slip from your hand the man I had devoted to destruction, your life will be exchanged for his life, and your people for his people.’”
42I aku la oia ia ia, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, No kou hookuu ana mai loko ae o kou lima i ke kanaka a'u i hoolilo ai i ka luku loa ia, nolaila e lilo kou ola no kona ola, a o kou poe kanaka no kona poe kanaka.
43Sullen and angry, the king of Israel went home to Samaria.
43Hoi aku la hoi ke alii o ka Iseraela i kona hale, me ke kaumaha, a me ka uluhua a hiki i Samaria.
