Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
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.
1And Benadad, king of Syria, gathered together all his host, and there were two and thirty kings with him, and horses, and chariots: and going up, he fought against Samaria, and besieged it.
2Hoouna ae la oia i na elele io Ahaba la ke alii o ka Iseraela, iloko o ke kulanakauhale;
2And, sending messengers to Achab king of Israel into the city,
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.
3He said: Thus saith Benadad: Thy silver, and thy gold is mine: and thy wives, and thy goodliest children are mine.
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.
4And the king of Israel answered: According to thy word, my lord O king, I am thine, and all that I have.
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;
5And the messengers came again, and said: Thus saith Benadad, who sent us unto thee: Thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children thou shalt deliver up to me.
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.
6Tomorrow therefore at this same hour I will send my servants to thee, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants: and all that pleaseth them, they shall put in their hands, and take away.
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.
7And the king of Israel called all the ancients of the land, and said: Mark, and see that he layeth snares for us. For he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver and gold: and I said not nay.
8I aku la na lunakahiko a pau a me na kanaka a pau ia ia, Mai hoolohe aku, aole hoi e ae aku.
8And all the ancients, and all the people said to him: Hearken not to him, nor consent to him.
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.
9Wherefore he answered the messengers of Benadad: Tell my lord the king: All that thou didst send for to me thy servant at first, I will do: but this thing I cannot do.
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.
10And the messengers returning brought him word. And he sent again and said: Such and such things may the gods do to me, and more may they add, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.
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.
11And the king of Israel answering, said: Tell him: Let not the girded boast himself as the ungirded.
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.
12And it came to pass, when Benadad heard this word, that he and the kings were drinking in pavilions, and he said to his servants: Beset the city. And they beset it.
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.
13And behold a prophet coming to Achab king of Israel, said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Hast thou seen all this exceeding great multitude, behold I will deliver them into thy hand this day: that thou mayest know that I am the Lord.
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.
14And Achab said: By whom? And he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: By the servants of the princes of the provinces. And he said: Who shall begin to fight? And he said: Thou.
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.
15So he mustered the servants of the princes of the provinces, and he found the number of two hundred and thirty-two: and he mustered after them the people, all the children of Israel, seven thousand:
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.
16And they went out at noon. But Benadad was drinking himself drunk in his pavilion, and the two and thirty kings with him, who were come to help him.
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.
17And the servants of the princes of the provinces went out first. And Benadad sent. And they told him, saying: There are men come out of Samaria.
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.
18And he said: Whether they come for peace, take them alive: or whether they come to fight, take them alive.
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.
19So the servants of the princes of the provinces went out, and the rest of the army followed:
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.
20And every one slew the man that came against him: and the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued after them. And Benadad king of Syria fled away on horseback with his horsemen.
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.
21But the king of Israel going out overthrew the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
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.
22(And a prophet coming to the king of Israel, said to him: Go, and strengthen thyself, and know, and see what thou dost: for the next year the king of Syria will come up against thee.)
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.
23But the servants of the king of Syria said to him: Their gods are gods of the hills, therefore they have overcome us: but it is better that we should fight against them in the plains, and we shall overcome them.
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.
24Do thou therefore this thing: Remove all the kings from thy army, and put captains in their stead:
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.
25And make up the number of soldiers that have been slain of thine, and horses according to the former horses, and chariots according to the chariots which thou hadst before: and we will fight against them in the plains, and thou shalt see that we shall overcome them. He believed their counsel and did so.
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.
26Wherefore at the return of the year, Benadad mustered the Syrians, ancient up to Aphec, to fight against Israel.
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.
27And the children of Israel were mustered, and taking victuals went out on the other side, and camped over against them, like two little hocks of goats: but the Syrians filled the land.
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.
28(And a man of God coming, said to the king of Israel: Thus saith the Lord: Because the Syrians have said: The Lord is God of the hills, but is not God of the valleys: I will deliver all this great multitude into thy hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord.)
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.
29And both sides set their armies in array one against the other seven days, and on the seventh day the battle was fought: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
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.
30And they that remained fled to Aphec, into the city: and the wall fell upon seven and twenty thousand men, that were left. And Benadad fleeing went into the city, into a chamber that was within a chamber.
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.
31And his servants said to him: Behold, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful: so let us put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: perhaps he will save our lives.
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.
32So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said to him: Thy servant Benadad saith: I beseech thee let me have my life. And he said: If he be yet alive he is my brother.
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.
33The men took this for a sign: and in haste caught the word out of his mouth, and said: Thy brother Benadad. And he said to them: Go, and bring him to me. Then Benadad came out to him, and he lifted him up into his chariot.
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.
34And he said to him: The cities which my father took from thy father, I will restore: and do thou make thee streets in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria, and having made a league I will depart from thee. So he made a league with him, and let him go.
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.
35Then a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his companion in the word of the Lord: Strike me. But he would not strike.
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.
36Then he said to him: Because thou wouldst not hearken to the word of the Lord, behold then shalt depart from me, and a lion shall slay thee. And when he was gone a little from him, a lion found him, and slew 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.
37Then he found another man, and said to him: Strike me. And he struck him, and wounded him.
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.
38So the prophet went, and met the king in the way, and disguised himself by sprinkling dust on his face and his eyes.
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.
39And as the king passed by, he cried to the king, and said: Thy servant went out to fight hand to hand: and when a certain man was run away, one brought him to me, and said: Keep this man: and if he shall slip away, thy life shall be for his life, or thou shalt pay a talent of silver.
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.
40And whilst I in a hurry turned this way and that, on a sudden he was not to be seen. And the king of Israel said to him: This is thy judgment, which thyself hast decreed.
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.
41But he forthwith wiped off the dust from his face, and the king of Israel knew him, that he was one of the prophets.
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.
42And he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a mall worthy of death, thy life shall be for his life, and thy people for his people.
43Hoi aku la hoi ke alii o ka Iseraela i kona hale, me ke kaumaha, a me ka uluhua a hiki i Samaria.
43And the king of Israel returned to his house, slighting to hear, and raging came into Samaria.
