JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1And Ben-hadad the king of Aram gathered all his host together; and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses and chariots; and he went up and besieged Samaria, and fought 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.
2And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel, into the city,
2Hoouna ae la oia i na elele io Ahaba la ke alii o ka Iseraela, iloko o ke kulanakauhale;
3and said unto him: 'Thus saith Ben-hadad: Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, 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 answered and said: 'It is according to thy saying, my lord, O king: I am thine, and 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.
5And the messengers came again, and said: 'Thus speaketh Ben-hadad, saying: I sent indeed unto thee, saying: Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy 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 I will send my servants unto thee tomorrow about this time, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.'
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 called all the elders of the land, and said: 'Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief; for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.'
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 all the elders and all the people said unto him: 'Hearken thou not, neither consent.'
8I aku la na lunakahiko a pau a me na kanaka a pau ia ia, Mai hoolohe aku, aole hoi e ae aku.
9Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Ben-hadad: 'Tell my lord the king: All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do; but this thing I may not do.' And the messengers departed, and brought him back word.
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.
10And Ben-hadad sent unto him, and said: 'The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.'
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 answered and said: 'Tell him: Let not him that girdeth on his armour boast himself as he that putteth 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.
12And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings, in the booths, that he said unto his servants: 'Set yourselves in array.' And they set themselves in array 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.
13And, behold, a prophet came near unto Ahab king of Israel, and said: 'Thus saith the LORD: Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thy hand this day; and thou shalt 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.
14And Ahab said: 'By whom?' And he said: 'Thus saith the LORD: By the young men of the princes of the provinces.' Then he said: 'Who shall begin the battle?' And he answered: 'Thou.'
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.
15Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two; and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
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.
16And they went out at noon. But Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the booths, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.
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 men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben-hadad sent out, and they told him, saying: 'There are men come out from 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.
18And he said: 'Whether they are come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they are come 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.
19So these went out of the city, the young men of the princes of the provinces, and the army which followed 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 they slew every one his man; and the Arameans fled, and Israel pursued them; and Ben-hadad the king of Aram escaped on a horse with horsemen.
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.
21And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Arameans with a great slaughter.
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.
22And the prophet came near to the king of Israel, and said unto him: 'Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest; for at the return of the year the king of Aram will come up against thee.'
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.
23And the servants of the king of Aram said unto him: 'Their God is a God of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
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.
24And do this thing: take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put governors in their room:
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 number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot; and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.' And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.
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.
26And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad mustered 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.
27And the children of Israel were mustered, and were victualled, and went against them; and the children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Arameans filled the country.
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.
28And a man of God came near and spoke unto the king of Israel, and said: 'Thus saith the LORD: Because the Arameans have said: The LORD is a God of the hills, but he is not a God of the valleys; therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thy hand, and ye shall 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.
29And they encamped one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel slew of the Arameans a hundred thousand footmen 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.
30But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand men that were left. And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
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.
31And his servants said unto him: 'Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings; let us, we pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; peradventure he will save thy 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 they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said: 'Thy servant Ben-hadad saith: I pray thee, let me live.' And he said: 'Is he yet 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 took it for a sign, and hastened to catch it from him; and they said: 'Thy brother Ben-hadad.' Then he said: 'Go ye, bring him.' Then Ben-hadad came forth to him; and he caused him to 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.
34And Ben-hadad said unto him: 'The cities which my father took from thy father I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria.' 'And I, said Ahab, will let thee go with this covenant.' So he made a covenant with him, and let him go.
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.
35And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his fellow by the word of the LORD: 'Smite me, I pray thee.' And the man refused to smite 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 said he unto him: 'Because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee.' And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him; and slew 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 he found another man, and said: 'Smite me, I pray thee.' And the man smote him, smiting and wounding 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.
38So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband 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.
39And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king; and he said: 'Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said: Keep this man; if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay 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.
40And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone.' And the king of Israel said unto him: 'So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it.'
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.
41And he hastened, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was 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 he said unto him: 'Thus saith the LORD: Because thou hast let go out of thy hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy 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.
43And the king of Israel went to his house sullen and displeased, and came 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.
