Lunakanawai 21
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1U A hoohiki mua na kanaka o ka Iseraela ma Mizepa, i ae la, Aole e haawi kekahi o lakou i kana kaikamahine i wahine na ka Beniamina.
1Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife.
2Hele mai la na kanaka i ka hale o ke Akua, noho iho la malaila a ahiahi imua i ke alo o ke Akua, hookiekie ae la i ko lakou leo, a uwe nui iho la.
2And the people came to the house of God, and abode there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore;
3I iho la, E Iehova, e ke Akua o Iseraela e, no ke aha la i hiki mai ai keia iloko o ka Iseraela, i nalowale kekahi ohana maloko o ka Iseraela i keia la?
3And said, O LORD God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to day one tribe lacking in Israel?
4Ia la iho, ala mai na kanaka i kakahiaka nui, a hana iho la i lele a kaumaha aku la i na mohai kuni, a me na mohai hoomalu.
4And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.
5Ninau ae la na mamo a Iseraela, Owai ka mea iwaena o na ohana a pau o ka Iseraela, i hele pu ole mai me ka ahakanaka ia Iehova? No ka mea, hoohiki nui loa lakou no ke kanaka i pii ole mai ia Iehova i Mizepa, i ae la, E oiaio no e pepehiia oia.
5And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the LORD ? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the LORD to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be put to death.
6Minamina iho la na mamo a Iseraela i ka Beniamina, i ko lakou kaikaina, i ae la, I keia la, ua moku aku la kekahi ohana mai ka Iseraela aku.
6And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.
7Pehea la kakou e hana'i, i loaa na wahine i ka poe i koe o lakou? No ka mea, ua hoohiki kakou ia Iehova, e haawi ole kakou i ka kakou mau kaikamahine, i wahine na lakou.
7How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?
8Ninau aku la lakou, Owai kekahi ohana o ka Iseraela, i pii ole mai i Mizepa ia Iehova? Aia hoi, aohe mea i hele mai o na kanaka o Iabesa Gileada i ka ahakanaka i kahi hoomoana'i.
8¶ And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the LORD ? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabesh-gilead to the assembly.
9A heluia na kanaka, aia hoi, aole malaila kekahi o ka poe i noho ma Iabesa Gileada.
9For the people were numbered, and, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead there.
10Hoouna aku la ka ahakanaka i umikumamalua tausani kanaka, o ka poe koa loa, a kauoha aku la ia lakou, i aku la, E hele, e luku i kanaka o Iabesa Gileada, me ka maka o ka pahikaua, i na wahine a me na keiki.
10And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children.
11Eia ka mea a oukou e hana'i. E luku loa oukou i na kane a pau a me na wahine a pau i ike i ka moe ana i ke kane.
11And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man.
12A loaa ia lakou maloko o ka poe i noho ma Iabesa Gileada, eha haneri kaikamahine puupaa i ike ole i ka moe kane ana. A lawe mai lakou ia poe i kahi hoomoana ai ma Silo, ma ka aina o Kanaana.
12And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
13Hoouna aku la ka ahakanaka a pau, olelo aku la i na mamo a Beniamina, ma ka pohaku o Rimona, a hai aku la i ka malu ia lakou.
13And the whole congregation sent some to speak to the children of Benjamin that were in the rock Rimmon, and to call peaceably unto them.
14Hoi mai la ka Beniamina ia manawa, a haawi mai la kela poe ia lakou nei i wahine na lakou i ka poe a lakou i hoola'i ma Iabesa Gileada; aole hoi i lawa ia lakou.
14And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh-gilead: and yet so they sufficed them not.
15Minamina iho la na kanaka i ka Beniamina, no ka mea, ua hookahuliia e Iehova kekahi ohana o ka Iseraela.
15And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
16Alaila, olelo iho la na lunakahiko i ka ahakanaka, Heaha ka makou e hana'i, i loaa'i na wahine i ka poe o lakou i koe? No ka mea, ua lukuia na wahine o ka Beniamina.
16¶ Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?
17I iho la lakou, I ainahooili no ka poe i pakele o Beniamina, i anai ole ia kekahi ohana, mailoko aku o ka Iseraela.
17And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.
18Aka, aole hiki ia kakou ke haawi i ka kakou mau kaikamahine iho, i wahine na lakou; no ka mea, ua hoohiki na mamo a Iseraela me ka olelo iho, E ahewaia ka mea nana e haawi aku i wahine na ka Beniamina.
18Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin.
19Olelo iho la lakou, Aia hoi, he ahaaina ko Iehova i kela makahiki, i keia makahiki, ma Silo, ma ka aoao akau o Betelehema, a ma ka aoao hikina o ke kuamoo e hiki aku ai, mai Betela i Sekema, a ma ka aoao hema hoi o Lebona.
19Then they said, Behold, there is a feast of the LORD in Shiloh yearly in a place which is on the north side of Beth-el, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Beth-el to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.
20Alaila, kauoha aku la lakou i na mamo a Beniamina, i aku la, O hele a moe malu ma na pawaina;
20Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;
21E nana oukou, aia hele mai na kaikamahine o Silo e hula ma na hula, alaila e hele mai oukou, mailoko mai o na pawaina, a e hopu kela kanaka keia kanaka i wahine nana, no ka kaikamahine o Silo, a e hoi i ka aina o Beniamina.
21And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
22A hiki i ka manawa, e hele mai ai io kakou nei, ko lakou mau makuakane, a o ko lakou mau kaikunane paha, e hoopii mai, alaila, e olelo makou ia lakou, E lokomaikai mai oukou ia makou, ma o lakou la; no ka mea, aole makou i malama i wahine na kela kanaka keia kanaka, ma ke kaua ana, aole hoi oukou i haawi na lakou i keia wa, i mea e hewa ai oukou.
22And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time, that ye should be guilty.
23A hana iho la na mamo a Beniamina pela, a lawe i na wahine a lakou i hopu ai ma ke kula, e like me ko lakou helu ana. A hele lakou, a hoi aku i ko lakou aina, a hoomakaukau hou i na kulanakauhale, a noho iho la malaila.
23And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them.
24Ia manawa, hele aku la na mamo a Iseraela, mailaila aku, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona aina iho, a i kona hoahanau, a malaila aku lakou i hele ai, o kela kanaka, keia kanaka, i kona ainahooili iho.
24And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.
25Ia manawa, aohe alii ma ka Iseraela; hana iho la kela kanaka keia kanaka i ka mea i pono ma kona mau maka.
25In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
