Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1I A manawa, aole alii maluna o ka Iseraela, a i kela mau la e imi ana o ka Dana i aina kahi e noho ai no lakou, no ka mea, a hiki mai ia wa, aole i ili mai ko Dana aina iwaena o na ohana o ka Iseraela.
1In those days there was no king in Israel, and the tribe of the Danites was looking for territory to occupy. For up to that time they had not come into an inheritance among the tribes of Israel.
2Hoouna ae la na mamo a Dana i elima kanaka o ka lakou ohana, no ko lakou aina, he poe kanaka koa, no Zora, a no Esetaola, e kiu i ka aina, a makaikai; a i mai la lakou, E hele, e makaikai i ka aina. A hiki lakou i ka mauna o Eperaima, i ka hale o Mika, kipa ae la lakou ilaila.
2So the Danites sent out five men from their clans, men of valor from Zorah and Eshtaol, to spy out the land and explore it. “Go and explore the land,” they told them. The men entered the hill country of Ephraim and came to the house of Micah, where they spent the night.
3A ma ka hale o Mika lakou, maopopo ia lakou ka leo o ke kanaka hou o ka Levi; kipa ae la lakou ilaila, i ae la ia ia, Nawai oe i kai mai nei? Heaha hoi kau e hana nei ma keia wahi? Heaha kau o nei?
3And while they were near Micah’s house, they recognized the voice of the young Levite; so they went over and asked him, “Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? Why are you here?”
4I mai la ia, Penei, a penei ka hana ana o Mika ia'u, a ua hoolimalima mai ia'u, a owau no kona kahuna.
4“Micah has done this and that for me,” he replied, “and he has hired me to be his priest.”
5I aku la lakou ia ia, E ninau aku paha oe i ke Akua, i ike makou, e pomaikai paha ko makou hele, e hele nei.
5Then they said to him, “Please inquire of God to determine whether we will have a successful journey.”
6I mai la ke kahuna ia lakou, O hele me ka pomaikai, he pololei ia Iehova ka hele a oukou e hele nei.
6And the priest told them, “Go in peace. The LORD is watching over your journey.”
7Alaila, hele aku la ua mau kanaka la elima, a hiki aku la i Laisa, ike iho la i ko laila kanaka e noho makau ole ana, ma ke ano o ko Zidona, ua malie, aole i makau, aole mea e noho alii ana ma ka honua nei i hana ino mai; a ua loihi lakou, mai Zidona aku, aohe o lakou mea pu me kekahi kanaka e.
7So the five men departed and came to Laish, where they saw that the people were living securely, like the Sidonians, tranquil and unsuspecting. There was nothing lacking in the land and no oppressive ruler. And they were far away from the Sidonians and had no alliance with anyone.
8A hoi mai la lakou i ko lakou poe hoahanau ma Zora, a me Esetaola. I aku la ko lakou poe hoahanau ia lakou, Heaha ka oukou?
8When the men returned to Zorah and Eshtaol, their brothers asked them, “What did you find?”
9I mai la lakou, E ala mai, i pii ku e kakou ia lakou no; ka mea, ua ike makou i ka aina, aia hoi, ua maikai loa ia; a e noho malie ana oukou? Mai hoomolowa oukou i ka pii aku, a komo, a hoopio i ka aina.
9They answered, “Come on, let us go up against them, for we have seen the land, and it is very good. Why would you fail to act? Do not hesitate to go there and take possession of the land!
10I ko oukou hele ana, e hiki no oukou i ka poe kanaka, e makau ole ana, a i ka aina nui; no ka mea, ua haawi mai ke Akua ia aina i ko oukou lima. Aole hoi i nele ia aina i kekahi mea o ka honua.
10When you enter, you will come to an unsuspecting people and a spacious land, for God has delivered it into your hand. It is a place where nothing on earth is lacking.”
11Hele aku la, mai ia wahi aku, no ka ohana a Dana, mai Zora, a me Esetaola aku, eono haneri kanaka i kahikoia i na mea kaua.
11So six hundred Danites departed from Zorah and Eshtaol, armed with weapons of war.
12Pii aku la lakou a hoomoana iho la ma Kiriatiarima ma ka Iuda: nolaila, kapa aku la lakou ia wahi, o Mahanedana, a hiki mai i neia la; aia no ma ke kua o Kiriatiarima.
12They went up and camped at Kiriath-jearim in Judah. That is why the place west of Kiriath-jearim is called Mahaneh-dan to this day.
13A malaila aku lakou i hele ai a i ka mauna o Eperaima, a hiki aku la i ka hale o Mika.
13And from there they traveled to the hill country of Ephraim and came to Micah’s house.
14Alaila, ninau ae la na kanaka elima, i hele aku e makaikai i ka aina o Laisa, i aku la i ko lakou poe hoahanau, Ua ike anei oukou, aia maloko o keia mau hale, he epoda, a he terapima, a me ke kii, a me ke kii hooheheeia? Nolaila ea, e noonoo oukou i ka oukou mea e hana'i.
14Then the five men who had gone to spy out the land of Laish said to their brothers, “Did you know that one of these houses has an ephod, household gods, a graven image, and a molten idol? Now think about what you should do.”
15Kipa ae la lakou ilaila, a hiki ae la i ke kanaka hou o ka Levi, i ka hale hoi o Mika, a aloha ae la ia ia.
15So they turned aside there and went to the home of the young Levite, the house of Micah, and greeted him.
16Ku iho la ma ka ipuka, kela poe kanaka eono haneri i kahikoia i na mea kaua, o ka poe mamo hoi a Dana.
16The six hundred Danites stood at the entrance of the gate, armed with their weapons of war.
17Pii ae la a komo ilaila na kanaka elima i pii aku e makaikai i ka aina, a lawe lakou i ke kii, a me ka epoda, a me ke terapima, a me ke kii i hooheheeia; a ku mai la ke kahuna ma ka ipuka me na kanaka eono haneri i kahikoia i na mea kaua.
17And the five men who had gone to spy out the land went inside and took the graven image, the ephod, the household idols, and the molten idol, while the priest stood at the entrance of the gate with the six hundred armed men.
18Hele aku la keia poe iloko o ka hale o Mika, a lawe mai la i ke kii, a me ka epoda, a me ke terapima, a me ke kii i hooheheeia. Alaila, i aku la ke kahuna ia lakou, Heaha ka oukou e hana nei?
18When they entered Micah’s house and took the graven image, the ephod, the household idols, and the molten idol, the priest said to them, “What are you doing?”
19I mai la lakou ia ia, Hamau, e kau oe i kou lima ma kou waha, a e hele pu me makou, i lilo oe i makua no makou, a i kahuna hoi. He mea maikai anei ia oe i kahuna oe no ka hale o ke kanaka hookahi, no ka ohana paha, a no ka hanauna iloko o ka Iseraela?
19“Be quiet,” they told him. “Put your hand over your mouth and come with us and be a father and a priest to us. Is it better for you to be a priest for the house of one person or a priest for a tribe and family in Israel?”
20Olioli iho la ka naau o ke kahuna, a lawe ae la oia i ka epoda, a me ke terapima, a me ke kii, a hele aku la iwaena o na kanaka.
20So the priest was glad and took the ephod, the household idols, and the graven image, and went with the people.
21Huli ae la lakou a hele aku la, a hoonoho iho la i ka poe opio, a me na holoholona, a me ka ukana imua o lakou.
21Putting their small children, their livestock, and their possessions in front of them, they turned and departed.
22A hiki lakou i kahi mamao mai ka hale o Mika aku, alaila, hoakoakoaia mai la na kanaka o kauhale e kokoke ana ma ka hale o Mika, a hahai aku la i na mamo a Dana.
22After they were some distance from Micah’s house, the men in the houses near Micah’s house mobilized and overtook the Danites.
23Hea aku la lakou i na mamo a Dana; a huli mai ko lakou maka, i mai la ia Mika, Heaha kau i akoakoa mai nei?
23When they called out after them, the Danites turned to face them and said to Micah, “What is the matter with you that you have called out such a company?”
24I aku la keia, Ua lawe aku oukou i ko'u mau akua, a'u i hana'i, a me ke kahuna, a ua hele oukou. Heaha hoi ka mea i koe ia'u? Heaha hoi keia mea a oukou i ninau mai nei ia'u? Heaha kau?
24He replied, “You took the gods I had made, and my priest, and went away. What else do I have? How can you say to me, ‘What is the matter with you?’”
25I mai la na mamo a Dana ia ia, Mai lohe hou ia kou leo iwaena o makou, o lele aku maluna o oukou na kanaka i walania, a lilo kou ola, a me ke ola o ko ka hale ou.
25The Danites said to him, “Do not raise your voice against us, or angry men will attack you, and you and your family will lose your lives.”
26Hele aku la na mamo a Dana i ko lakou wahi i hele ai. A ike iho la o Mika, ua oi ko lakou ikaika i kona, huli mai la ia, a hoi ae la i kona hale.
26So the Danites went on their way, and Micah turned to go back home, because he saw that they were too strong for him.
27Lawe lakou i na mea a Mika i hana'i, a me kona kahuna, a hele aku la i Laisa, i ka poe kanaka e noho malie ana, me ka makau ole; a luku aku la keia poe ia lakou i ka maka o ka pahikaua, a puhi aku la i ko lakou kulanakauhale i ke ahi.
27After they had taken Micah’s idols and his priest, they went to Laish, to a tranquil and unsuspecting people, and they struck them with their swords and burned down the city.
28Aohe mea nana i hoopakele, no ka mea, ua loihi ia mai Zidona aku, aole hoi lakou he mea pu me kekahi kanaka e. Aia no ia ma ke kahawai e kokoke ana i Beterehoba. Hana iho la lakou i kulanakauhale, a noho no ilaila.
28There was no one to deliver them, because the city was far from Sidon and had no alliance with anyone; it was in a valley near Beth-rehob. And the Danites rebuilt the city and lived there.
29Kapa iho la lakou i ka inoa o ia kulanakauhale, o Dana, mamuli o Dana, o ko lakou kupuna kane, ka mea i hanau na Iseraela; aka, o Laisa ka inoa kahiko o ua kulanakauhale la.
29They named it Dan, after their forefather Dan, who was born to Israel—though the city was formerly named Laish.
30Kukulu iho la na mamo a Dana i ke kii; a o Ionetana, ke keiki a Geresoma, ke keiki a Manase, oia, a me kana mau keiki na kahuna no ka ohana a Dana, a hiki i ka la i pio ai ka aina.
30The Danites set up idols for themselves, and Jonathan son of Gershom, the son of Moses, and his sons were priests for the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.
31Kukulu lakou i ke kii o Mika, ana i hana'i, i ka manawa a pau i ku ai ka hale o ke Akua ma Silo.
31So they set up for themselves Micah’s graven image, and it was there the whole time the house of God was in Shiloh.
