1And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord: and he delivered them into the hand of Madian seven years.
1HANA hewa iho la na mamo a Iseraela imua o Iehova, a haawi ae la o Iehova ia lakou i ka lima o ko Midiana, i ehiku makahiki.
2And they were grievously oppressed by them. And they made themselves dens and eaves in the mountains, and strong holds to resist.
2Ikaika loa iho la ka lima o ko Midiana maluna o ka Iseraela; a hana ae la ka poe mamo a Iseraela i na lua no lakou, mai na maka aku o ko Midiana, aia ma na mauna, a i na ana hoi, a me na puukaua.
3And when Israel had sown, Madian and Amalec, and the rest of the eastern nations came up:
3A i ka manawa i lulu ai ka Iseraela, alaila, pii mai la ko Midiana, a me ka Amaleka, a me ka poe noho ma ka hikina, hele ku e mai la lakou.
4And pitching their tents among them, wasted all things as they were in the blade even to the entrance of Gaza: and they left nothing at all in Israel for sustenance of life, nor sheep, nor oxen, nor asses.
4A hoomoana ku e mai la, a hoopau iho la i na mea kupu o ka honua, a hiki aku i Gaza, aole i waiho i kekahi mea ola na ka Iseraela, aole i pa hipa, aole i ka bipi, aole i ka hoki.
5For they and all their flocks came with their tents, and like locusts filled all places, an innumerable multitude of men, and of camels, wasting whatsoever they touched.
5Pii mai la lakou me ko lakou holoholona, a me ko lakou mau halelewa, hele mai lakou, e like me na uhini ka nui loa; o lakou a me ko lakou poe kamelo, he poe mea helu ole ia; a komo lakou i ka aina, e luku iho.
6And Israel was humbled exceedingly in the sight of Madian.
6Hune loa iho la ka Iseraela, no ko Midiana, a hea aku la na mamo a Iseraela ia Iehova.
7And he cried to the Lord desiring help against the Madianites.
7A i ka wa i hea aku ai na mamo a Iseraela ia Iehova no ko Midiana,
8And he sent unto them a prophet, and he spoke: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I made you to come up out of Egypt, and brought you out of the house of bondage,
8Alaila, hoouna mai o Iehova i kekahi kanaka, he kaula, i mai la ia ia lakou, Penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Na'u no oukou i lawe mai nei, mai Aigupita mai, a hoopuka mai ia oukou, mai loko mai o ka halehooluhi;
9And delivered you out of the hands of the Egyptians, and of all the enemies that afflicted you: and I cast them out at your coming in, and gave you their land.
9Hoopakele ae au ia oukou, mai ka lima ae o ko Aigupita, a mai ka lima aku o ka poe a pau i hooluhihewa mai ia oukou, a kipaku aku la au ia lakou, mai ko oukou alo aku, a haawi aku la au i ko lakou aina no oukou.
10And I said: I am the Lord your God, fear not the gods of the Amorrhites, in whose land you dwell. And you would not hear my voice.
10I aku la au ia oukou, Owau no o Iehova, o ko oukou Akua. Mai makau oukou i na'kua o ka Amora, na mea nona ka aina, a oukou e noho ai. Aka, aole oukou i hoolohe i ko'u leo.
11And an angel of the Lord came, and sat under an oak, that was in Ephra, and belonged to Joas the father of the family of Ezri. And when Gedeon his son was threshing and cleansing wheat by the winepress, to flee from Madian,
11Hele mai la ka anela o Iehova, noho iho la malalo iho o kekahi laau oka, ma Opera no Ioasa, he kanaka no ko Abiezera. E hahi ana kana keiki o Gideona i ka huapalaoa, ma kahi kaomi waina, i nalo i ko Midiana.
12The angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said: The Lord is with thee, O most valiant of men.
12Ikea aku la ka anela o ka Haku e ia, i mai la ia ia, Eia pu no me oe o Iehova, e ke kanaka koa loa.
13And Gedeon said to him: I beseech thee, my lord, if the Lord be with us, why have these evils fallen upon us? Where are his miracles, which our fathers have told us of, saying: The Lord brought us Out of Egypt? but now the Lord hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the bands of Madian.
13I aku la o Gideona ia ia, e kuu Haku e, ina o Iehova kekahi pu me makou, no ke aha la makou i loohia i keia mau mea a pau? Auhea kana mau hana mana nui, a ko makou poe makua i hai mai ai ia makou, i ka i ana mai, Aole anei i lawe mai o Iehova ia kakou, mai Aigupita mai? Aka, ua haalele mai o Iehova ia kakou, a ua haawi ia kakou iloko o na lima o ko Midiana.
14And the Lord looked upon him, and said: Go in this thy strength, and then shalt deliver Israel out of the hand of Madian: know that I have sent thee.
14Nana mai la o Iehova ia ia, i mai la, Ma keia mana ou, e hele ai oe, a e hoola no oe i ka Iseraela mai ka lima ae o ko Midiana. Aole anei au i hoouna aku ia oe?
15He answered and said: I beseech thee, my lord, wherewith shall I deliver Israel? Behold my family is the meanest in Manasses, and I am the least in my father’s house.
15I aku la keia ia ia, E kuu Haku, Pehea la wau e hoola'i i ka Iseraela? He nawaliwali ko'u hanauna i ka Manase a pau; a ua liilii au iloko o ka hale o ko'u makua.
16And the Lord said to him: I will be with thee: and thou shalt cut off Madian as one man.
16I mai la o Iehova ia ia, Owau pu kekahi me oe, a e luku aku oe i ko Midiana, e like me ke kanaka hookahi.
17And he said: If I have found grace before thee, give me a sign that it is thou that speakest to me,
17I aku la keia ia ia, Ina i loaa ia'u ka lokomaikaiia mai imua ou, e haawi mai oe i hoailona no kou kamailio ana mai ia'u.
18And depart not hence, till I return to thee, and bring a sacrifice, and offer it to thee. And he answered: I will wait thy coming.
18Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, Mai hele aku oe, a hiki mai au i ou la, a lawe mai i ko'u mohai makana, a waiho imua ou. I mai la kela, E kakali no wau, a hoi hou mai oe.
19So Gedeon went in, and boiled a kid, and made unleavened loaves of a measure of flour: and putting the flesh in a basket, and the broth of the flesh into a pot, he carried all under the oak, and presented to him.
19Hele aku la o Gideona iloko, a hoomakaukau iho la i keiki kao, a i palaoa hu ole, i hookahi epa; a waiho iho la i ka io iloko o ka hinai, a o ke kai, waiho iho la ia maloko o ka ipu, a lawe ae la ia, io na la malalo o Ka laau oka, a haawi aku la.
20And the angel of the Lord said to him: Take the flesh and the unleavened loaves, and lay them upon that rock, and pour out the broth thereon. And when he had done so,
20I mai la ka anela o ke Akua ia ia, E lawe oe i ka io, a i ka palaoa hu ole, a e waiho maluna o keia pohaku, a e ninini iho i ke kai. A hana iho la ia pela.
21The angel of the Lord put forth the tip of the rod, which he held in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened loaves: and there arose a fire from the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened loaves: and the angel of the Lord vanished out of his sight.
21Alaila, o aku la ka anela o Iehova i ka welau o ke kookoo, ma kona lima, a hoopa iho la i ka io, a me ka palaoa hu ole; a pii ae la ke ahi, mai loko ae o ka pohaku, a hoopau ae la i ka io, a me ka palaoa hu ole. Alaila, hele aku la ka anela o ka Haku, mai kona alo aku.
22And Gedeon seeing that it was the angel of the Lord, said: Alas, my Lord God: for I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face.
22A ike maopopo ae la o Gideona, he anela ia no Iehova, i iho la o Gideona, Auwe, e ka Haku, e Iehova e! no ka mea, ua ike au i kekahi anela o Iehova, he maka no he maka.
23And the Lord said to him: Peace be with thee: fear not, thou shalt not die.
23I mai la o Iehova ia ia, Aloha oe. Mai makou oe, aole oe e make.
24And Gedeon built there an altar to the Lord, and called it the Lord’s peace, until this present day. And when he was yet in Ephra, which is of the family of Ezri,
24Alaila hana iho la o Gideona i kuahu malaila, no Iehova, a kapa aku la oia ia mea, o Iehova-aloha. Aia no ia i keia la, ma Opera, no ka Abiezera.
25That night the Lord said to him: Take a bullock of thy father’s, and another bullock of seven years, and thou shalt destroy the altar of Baal, which is thy father’s: and cut down the grove that is about the altar:
25Ia po no, olelo mai o Iehova ia ia, E kii oe i bipi opiopio, i ka bipi a kou makuakane, a me kekahi bipi ehiku makahiki, a e hoohiolo i ka lele o Baala, a kou makuakane, a e kua ilalo i ke kii o Asetarota e ku kokoke ana me ia;
26And thou shalt build an altar to the Lord thy God in the top of this rock, whereupon thou didst lay the sacrifice before: and thou shalt take the second bullock, and shalt offer a holocaust upon a pile of the wood, which thou shalt cut down out of the grove.
26A e hana oe i kuahu no Iehova, no kou Akua, me ka hoonohonoho pono, maluna o keia wahi paa; a e lawe oe i ka lua o na bipi, a e kaumaha aku i mohai kuni, me ka wahie o ua kii o Asetarota la, au e kua'i.
27Then Gedeon taking ten men of his servants, did as the Lord had commanded him. But fearing his father’s house, and the men of that city, he would not do it by day, but did all by night.
27Alaila lawe ae la o Gideona, i umi kanaka o kona poe kauwa, a hana iho la e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia ia. Eia kekahi, no kona makau ana i ko ka hale o kona makua, a i na kanaka o ke kulanakauhale, aole ia i hana i ke ao, aka, hana no ia i ka po.
28And when the men of that town were risen in the morning, they saw the altar of Baal destroyed, and the grove cut down, and the second bullock laid upon the altar, which then was built.
28A i ke ala ana o na kanaka o ke kulanakauhale i kakahiaka nui, aia hoi, na hoohioloia ka lele o Baala, a ua kuaia ke kii o Asetarota e kokoke ana, a na kanmahaia ka lua o ka bipi maluna o ke kuahu i hanaia.
29And they said one to another: Who hath done this? And when they inquired for the author of the fact, it was said: Gedeon the son of Joas did all this.
29I ae la kekahi i kekahi, Nawai la i hana i keia mea? Imi lakou a ninau hoi; alaila, haiia mai la, Na Gideona, ke keiki a Ioasa, i hana i keia mea.
30And they said to Joas: Bring out thy son hither, that he may die: because he hath destroyed the altar of Baal, and hath cut down his grove.
30Alaila olelo aku la na kanaka o ke kulanakauhale ia Ioasa, E lawe mai oe i kau keikikane iwaho, i make ia; no ka mea, ua hoohiolo oia i ke kuahu o Baala, a ua kua oia ilalo i ke kii o Asetarota e kokoke ana me ia.
31He answered them: Are you the avengers of Baal, that you fight for him? he that is his adversary, let him die before tomorrow light appear: if he be a god, let him revenge himself on him that hath cast down his altar.
31Olelo aku la o Ioasa i na kanaka a pau i ku e mai ia ia, E hakaka anei oukou mamuli o Baala? E hoola anei oukou ia ia? O ka mea e hakaka mamuli ona, e make ia, i keia kakahiaka. Ina he akua ia, e hakaka oia mamuli ona iho, no ka hoohiolo ana o kekahi i kona lele.
32From that day Gedeon was called Jerobaal, because Joss had said: Let Baal revenge himself on him that hath cast down his altar.
32Nolaila kapa aku la oia ia ia i kela la, o i Ierubaala, i ae la, Na Baala e hakaka me ia, no ka mea, na hoohiolo oia i kona kuahu.
33Now all Madian, and Amalec, and the eastern people were gathered together, and passing over the Jordan, camped in the valley of Jezrael.
33Alaila akoakoa mai la ko Midiana a pau, a me ka Ameleka, a me ka poe noho ma ka hikina, hele ae la, a hoomoana iho la ma ka papu o Iezereela.
34But the spirit of the Lord came upon Gedeon, and be sounded the trumpet and called together the house of Abiezer, to follow him.
34Uhi mai la ka Uhane o Iehova maluna o Gideona, a puhi iho la ia i ka pu, a akoakoa mai la ka Abiezera mamuli ona.
35And he sent messengers into all Manasses, and they also followed him: and other messengers into Aser and Zabulon and Nephtali, and they came to meet him.
35A hoouna aku la ia i na luna i ka Manase a pau, a akoakoa mai la lakou mamuli ona; a hoouna aku la oia i na luna i ka Asera, a i ka Zebuluna, a i ka Napetali, a pii mai la lakou e halawai me ia poe.
36And Gedeon said to God: If thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said,
36I aku la o Gideona ia Iehova, Ina e hook mai oe i ka Iseraela ma ko'u lima, e like me kau i olelo mai ai,
37I will put this fleece of wool on the floor: if there be dew on the fleece only, and it be dry on all the ground beside, I, shall know that by my hand, as thou hast said, thou wilt deliver Israel.
37E halii au i huluhulu ma kahi e hehi ai i ka palaoa; a ina he hau ma ka huluhulu wale no, a e maloo ka honua e a pau, alaila, e ike pono an, e hoola no oe i ka Iseraela ma ko'u lima, e like me kau i olelo mai ai.
38And it was so. And rising before day wringing the fleece, he filled a vessel with the dew.
38Eia hoi, i kona ala ana i kakahiaka ae, kaomi iho la oia i ka huluhulu, a uwi ae la i ke hau o ka huluhulu, a piha ka bola i ka wai.
39And he said again to God: let not thy wrath be kindled against me if I try once more, seeking a sign in the fleece. I pray that the fleece only may be dry, and all the ground wet with dew.
39I aku la o Gideona i ke Akua, Mai wela mai kou huhu ia'u, a e olelo aku au i keia wale no; e ae mai oe ia'u i hookahi o'u hoao hou ana me ka huluhulu. Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, i maloo ma ka huluhulu wale no, a i hau hoi ma ka honua a pau.
40And God did that night as he had requested: and it was dry on the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
40Ia po, hana mai ke Akua pela: na maloo ma ka huluhulu wale no, he hau no ma ka honua a pau.
