Berean Standard Bible
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.
1Again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD; so He delivered them into the hand of Midian for seven years,
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.
2and the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel. Because of the Midianites, the Israelites prepared shelters for themselves in the mountains, caves, and strongholds.
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.
3Whenever the Israelites would plant their crops, the Midianites, Amalekites, and other people of the east would come up and invade them,
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.
4encamping against them as far as Gaza and destroying the produce of the land. They left Israel with no sustenance, neither sheep nor oxen nor donkeys.
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.
5For the Midianites came with their livestock and their tents like a great swarm of locusts. They and their camels were innumerable, and they entered the land to ravage it.
6Hune loa iho la ka Iseraela, no ko Midiana, a hea aku la na mamo a Iseraela ia Iehova.
6Israel was greatly impoverished by Midian, and the Israelites cried out to the LORD.
7A i ka wa i hea aku ai na mamo a Iseraela ia Iehova no ko Midiana,
7Now when the Israelites cried out to the LORD because of Midian,
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;
8He sent them a prophet, who told them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I brought you up out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
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.
9I delivered you out of the hands of Egypt and all your oppressors. I drove them out before you and gave you their land.
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.
10And I said to you: ‘I am the LORD your God. You must not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.’ But you did not obey Me.”
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.
11Then the angel of the LORD came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to hide it from the Midianites.
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.
12And the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon and said, “The LORD is with you, O mighty man of valor.”
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.
13“Please, my Lord,” Gideon replied, “if the LORD is with us, why has all this happened to us? And where are all His wonders of which our fathers told us, saying, ‘Has not the LORD brought us up out of Egypt?’ But now the LORD has forsaken us and delivered us into the hand of Midian.”
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?
14The LORD turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel from the hand of Midian. Am I not sending you?”
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.
15“Please, my Lord,” Gideon replied, “how can I save Israel? Indeed, my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the youngest in my father’s house.”
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.
16“Surely I will be with you,” the LORD replied, “and you will strike down all the Midianites as one man.”
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.
17Gideon answered, “If I have found favor in Your sight, give me a sign that it is You speaking with me.
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.
18Please do not depart from this place until I return to You. Let me bring my offering and set it before You.” And the LORD said, “I will stay until you return.”
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.
19So Gideon went in and prepared a young goat and unleavened bread and an ephah of flour. He placed the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot and brought them out to present to Him under the oak.
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.
20And the angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened bread, lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth.” And Gideon did so.
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.
21Then the angel of the LORD extended the tip of the staff that was in his hand and touched the meat and the unleavened bread. And fire flared from the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened bread. Then the angel of the LORD vanished from his sight.
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.
22When Gideon realized that it was the angel of the LORD, he said, “Oh no, Lord GOD! I have seen the angel of the LORD face to face!”
23I mai la o Iehova ia ia, Aloha oe. Mai makou oe, aole oe e make.
23But the LORD said to him, “Peace be with you. Do not be afraid, for you will not die.”
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.
24So Gideon built an altar to the LORD there and called it The LORD Is Peace. To this day it stands in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
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;
25On that very night the LORD said to Gideon, “Take your father’s young bull and a second bull seven years old, tear down your father’s altar to Baal, and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.
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.
26Then build a proper altar to the LORD your God on the top of this stronghold. And with the wood of the Asherah pole you cut down, take the second bull and offer it as a burnt offering.”
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.
27So Gideon took ten of his servants and did as the LORD had told him. But because he was too afraid of his father’s household and the men of the city, he did it by night rather than in the daytime.
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.
28When the men of the city got up in the morning, there was Baal’s altar torn down, with the Asherah pole cut down beside it and the second bull offered up on the newly built altar.
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.
29“Who did this?” they said to one another. And after they had investigated thoroughly, they were told, “Gideon son of Joash did it.”
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.
30Then the men of the city said to Joash, “Bring out your son. He must die, because he has torn down Baal’s altar and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.”
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.
31But Joash said to all who stood against him, “Are you contending for Baal? Are you trying to save him? Whoever pleads his case will be put to death by morning! If Baal is a god, let him contend for himself with the one who has torn 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.
32So on that day Gideon was called Jerubbaal, that is to say, “Let Baal contend with him,” because he had torn down Baal’s altar.
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.
33Then all the Midianites, Amalekites, and other people of the east gathered together, crossed over the Jordan, and camped in the Valley of Jezreel.
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.
34So the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, who blew the ram’s horn and rallied the Abiezrites behind 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.
35Calling them to arms, Gideon sent messengers throughout Manasseh, as well as Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali, so that they came up to meet him.
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,
36Then Gideon said to God, “If You are going to save Israel by my hand, as You have said,
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.
37then behold, I will place a fleece of wool on the threshing floor. If there is dew only on the fleece and all the ground is dry, then I will know that You are going to save Israel by my hand, as You have said.”
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.
38And that is what happened. When Gideon arose the next morning, he squeezed the fleece and wrung out the dew—a bowlful of water.
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.
39Then Gideon said to God, “Do not be angry with me; let me speak one more time. Please allow me one more test with the fleece. This time let it be dry, and the ground covered with dew.”
40Ia po, hana mai ke Akua pela: na maloo ma ka huluhulu wale no, he hau no ma ka honua a pau.
40And that night God did so. Only the fleece was dry, and dew covered the ground.
