1Then the men of Ephraim said to Gideon, “Why have you done this to us? Why did you fail to call us when you went to fight against Midian?” And they contended with him violently.
1OLELO aku la na kanaka o Eperaima ia ia, Heaha keia mea au i hana mai ai ia makou, i kou hea ole ana mai ia makou, i kou wa i hele aku ai e kaua me ko Midiana? Ikaika loa ko lakou hoopaapaa ana ia ia.
2But Gideon answered them, “Now what have I accomplished compared to you? Are not the gleanings of Ephraim better than the grape harvest of Abiezer?
2Olelo ae la oia ia lakou, Heaha ka'u i hana'i me ka oukou? Aole anei i oi ke koena ai no Eperaima mamua o ka hoiliili ana o ka Abiezera?
3God has delivered Oreb and Zeeb, the two princes of Midian, into your hand. What was I able to do compared to you?” When he had said this, their anger against him subsided.
3Ua haawi mai ke Akua i ko oukou lima i na'lii o Midiana, o Oreba, a me Zeeba. Heaha ka mea i hiki ia'u ke hana e like me ka oukou? Alaila, i kana olelo ana pela, maha ae la ko lakou huhu ia ia.
4Then Gideon and his three hundred men came to the Jordan and crossed it, exhausted yet still in pursuit.
4Hele mai la o Gideona i Ioredane, a maalo ae la i kela aoao, oia a me ia mau haneri kanaka ekolu pu me ia, ua makaponiuniu, e hahai ana nae.
5So Gideon said to the men of Succoth, “Please give my troops some bread, for they are exhausted, and I am still pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.”
5I ae la ia i kanaka o Sukota, Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oukou, e haawi mai i mau popo berena na ka poe e hahai ana ia u; no ka mea, ua makaponiuniu lakou, a e hahai ana au ia Zeba, a me Zalemuna, i na'lii o ko Midiana.
6But the leaders of Succoth asked, “Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your possession, that we should give bread to your army?”
6I mai la na'lii o Sukota, Ua loaa anei na lima o Zeba, laua o Zalemuna i kou lima, i haawi aku ai makou i berena na kou poe kaua?
7“Very well,” Gideon replied, “when the LORD has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, I will tear your flesh with the thorns and briers of the wilderness!”
7I ae la o Gideona, No ia mea, i ka wa e haawi mai ai o Iehova ia Zeba, laua o Zalemuna, i ko'u lima, alaila e kahi au i ko oukou io i ke kakalaioa a me na mea ooi o ka nahelehele.
8From there he went up to Penuel and asked the same from them, but the men of Penuel gave the same response as the men of Succoth.
8Pii aku la ia, mai laila aku, a i Penuela, a olelo aku la ia lakou pela. I mai la na kanaka o Penuela ia ia, e like me ka na kanaka o Sukota i i mai ai.
9So Gideon told the men of Penuel, “When I return in triumph, I will tear down this tower!”
9Olelo ae la ia i na kanaka o Penuela, i aku la, A hoi mai au me ka malu, alaila, e wawahi au i keia halekiai.
10Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor with their army of about fifteen thousand men—all that were left of the armies of the people of the east. A hundred and twenty thousand swordsmen had already fallen.
10E noho ana o Zeba, laua o Zalemuna ma Karekora, a o ko laua mau puali pu me laua, he umikumamalima tausani paha, o ka poe a pau i koe o na puali o ka poe i noho ma ka hikina. Ua haule hookahi haneri me ka iwakalua tausani kanaka, unuhi pahi.
11And Gideon went up by way of the caravan route east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and he attacked their army, taking them by surprise.
11Pii aku la o Gideona ma ke ala o ka poe noho ma na halelewa, ma ka hikina o Noba, a me Iogebeha, a luku aku la i ka puali; no ka mea, e noho makau ole ana ka puali.
12When Zebah and Zalmunna fled, Gideon pursued and captured these two kings of Midian, routing their entire army.
12Hee aku la o Zeba, laua o Zalemuna, a hahai aku la ia ia laua, a pio iho la ia ia na'lii elua o Midiana, o Zeba a me Zalemuna, a auhee aku la ka puali a pau.
13After this, Gideon son of Joash returned from the battle along the Ascent of Heres.
13Hoi mai la o Gideona, ke keiki a Ioasa, mai ke kaua ana mai, mamua o ka hiki ana a ka la.
14There he captured a young man of Succoth and interrogated him. The young man wrote down for him the names of the seventy-seven leaders and elders of Succoth.
14Paa iho la ia ia kekahi kanaka ui o Sukota, a ninau aku la ia ia, a hoike mai la oia ia ia i na'lii o Sukota a me kolaila poe lunakahiko, he kanahikukumamahiku kanaka.
15And Gideon went to the men of Succoth and said, “Here are Zebah and Zalmunna, about whom you taunted me, saying, ‘Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your possession, that we should give bread to your weary men?’”
15Hele mai la ia i kanaka o Sukota, i ae la, Eia hoi o Zeba, laua o Zalemuna, na mea a oukou i hoowahawaha mai ai ia'u, i ka i ana mai, Ua loaa anei na lima o Zeba laua o Zalemuna i kou lima, i haawi aku ai makou i ka berena na kou poe kanaka makaponiuniu?
16Then he took the elders of the city, and using the thorns and briers of the wilderness, he disciplined the men of Succoth.
16Lalau iho la ia i na lunakahiko o ia kulanakauhale, a me ke kakalaioa, a me na mea oioi o ka nahelehele, a me ia mau mea no ia i ao aku ai i na kanaka o Sukota.
17He also pulled down the tower of Penuel and killed the men of the city.
17Wawahi iho la no hoi ia i ka halekiai o Penuela, a luku aku la i kanaka o ia kulanakauhale.
18Next, Gideon asked Zebah and Zalmunna, “What kind of men did you kill at Tabor?” “Men like you,” they answered, “each one resembling the son of a king.”
18Alaila, ninau aku la oia ia Zeba laua o Zalemuna, Heaha ke ano o na kanaka a olua i pepehi ai ma Tabora? I mai la laua, E like me oe nei, pela lakou. Ua like lakou a pau me na keiki alii.
19“They were my brothers,” Gideon replied, “the sons of my mother! As surely as the LORD lives, if you had let them live, I would not kill you.”
19I aku la keia, he poe hoahanau lakou no'u, he poe keiki na ko'u makuwahine. Me Iehova e ola nei, ina i hoola olua ia lakou, ina aole au e pepehi aku ia olua.
20So he said to Jether, his firstborn, “Get up and kill them.” But the young man did not draw his sword; he was fearful because he was still a youth.
20I mai la ia ia Ietera, i kana hiapo, E ku iluna, a pepehi ia laua. Aole unuhi ua keiki la i kana pahikaua; ua makau, no ka mea, he keiki ia.
21Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, “Get up and kill us yourself, for as the man is, so is his strength.” So Gideon got up and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and he took the crescent ornaments from the necks of their camels.
21Alaila, olelo mai o Zeba laua o Zalemuna, E ku mai oe, a e pepehi mai ia maua, no ka mea, e like me ke kanaka, pela kona ikaika. Ku ae la o Gideona, a pepehi iho la ia Zeba, laua o Zalemuna, a lawe oia i na lei o na a-i o ka laua mau kamelo.
22Then the Israelites said to Gideon, “Rule over us—you and your son and grandson—for you have saved us from the hand of Midian.”
22Alaila, olelo aku la na kanaka o ka Iseraela ia Gideona, I alii oe maluna o makou, o oe a me kau keiki, a me ke keiki a kau keiki; no ka mea, ua hoola mai oe ia makou, mailoko ae o ka lima o ko Midiana.
23But Gideon replied, “I will not rule over you, nor will my son. The LORD shall rule over you.”
23I mai la o Gideona ia lakou, aole au e lilo i alii maluna o oukou, aole e lilo ka'u keiki i alii maluna o oukou. E lilo no o Iehova i alii maluna o oukou.
24Then he added, “Let me make a request of you, that each of you give me an earring from his plunder.” (For the enemies had gold earrings because they were Ishmaelites.)
24I mai la o Gideona ia lakou, He manao nonoi aku ko'u e nonoi aku ai ia oukou, e haawi mai kela kanaka keia kanaka o oukou ia'u, i na apo pepeiao o kona mea pio. (He apo pepeiao gula ko lakou, no ka mea, no ka Isemaela lakou.)
25“We will give them gladly,” they replied. So they spread out a garment, and each man threw an earring from his plunder onto it.
25I mai la lakou, E haawi io no makou. Hohola iho la lakou i lole, a hoolei iho la kela kanaka keia kanaka i na apo pepeiao o kona pio maluna iho.
26The weight of the gold earrings he had requested was 1,700 shekels, in addition to the crescent ornaments, the pendants, the purple garments of the kings of Midian, and the chains from the necks of their camels.
26O ke kaumaha o ia mau apo pepeiao, ana i noi aku ai, hookahi ia tausani ehiku haueri sekela gula; a keu aku na lei, a me na momi pepeiao, a me ka lole poni mahana o na'lii o ko Midiana, a me na lei ma na a-i o ka laua mau kamelo.
27From all this Gideon made an ephod, which he placed in Ophrah, his hometown. But soon all Israel prostituted themselves by worshiping it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and his household.
27Hana iho la o Gideona ia mea, i epoda, a waiho iho la ma kona kulanakauhale, ma Opera. Hahai aku la ilaila ka Iseraela a pau, e kuko ana mamuli o ia mea; a lilo iho la ia i mea e hihia'i no Gideona, a me ko kona hale.
28In this way Midian was subdued before the Israelites and did not raise its head again. So the land had rest for forty years in the days of Gideon,
28Pela i pio ai ko Midiana imua o na mamo a Iseraela, aole lakou i hoala hou i ko lakou poo. Kuapapanui iho la ka aina hookahi kanaha makahiki, i ke kau ia Gideona.
29and he—Jerubbaal son of Joash—returned home and settled down.
29Hele aku la o Ierubaala ke keiki a Ioasa, a noho iho la ma kona hale iho.
30Gideon had seventy sons of his own, since he had many wives.
30He kanahiku ka Gideona mau keikikane, mailoko aku o kona puhaka, no ka mea, ua nui loa kana poe wahine.
31His concubine, who dwelt in Shechem, also bore him a son, and he named him Abimelech.
31A o kana haiawahine ma Se kema, oia kekahi i hanau mai i keikikane nana, a kapa aku la oia i kona inoa o Abimeleka.
32Later, Gideon son of Joash died at a ripe old age and was buried in the tomb of his father Joash in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
32Make iho la o Gideona ke keiki a Ioasa, ua elemakule maikai, a kanuia oia ma ka ilina o kona makuakane, ma Opera, no ka Abiezara.
33And as soon as Gideon was dead, the Israelites turned and prostituted themselves with the Baals, and they set up Baal-berith as their god.
33A mahope iho o ka make ana o Gideona, huli hou aku la na mamo a Iseraela, a moe kolohe iho la me Baalima, a hoolilo iho la ia Baalaberita, i akua no lakou.
34The Israelites failed to remember the LORD their God who had delivered them from the hands of all their enemies on every side.
34Aole hoomanao na mamo a Iseraela ia Iehova, i ko lakou Akua, i ka mea i hoola'e ia lakou mai ka lima aku o ko lakou poe enemi, ma na aoao a puni.
35They did not show kindness to the house of Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) for all the good things he had done for Israel.
35Aole lakou i lokomaikai aku i ko ka hale o Ierubaala, oia hoi o Gideona, e like me na mea maikai a pau ana i hana mai ai i ka Iseraela.
